remote spot has been a rendezvous
for shady characters, leading to the
suspicion that systematic series Of
horse and cattle rustling has been car
ried on from this point. 1t is suspect
ed that stock from wide stretch Of
country has been for years driven to
the lonely canyon retreat, kept there
until owners ceased searching, then
run across the river into Sherman
county and taken to market.
The canyon in question is about 15
miles from Sherar's bridge. On either
side of the river the mountains rise
to an angle of about As degrees to a
height of 5000 or 1000 feet. In a
cove by the riverside is a fertile val
ley on which fodder for a considera-

while the surrounding hills are cover
ed with a luxuriant growth of bunch
grass.
Farmers in the country within
reach have for long time missed
young stock, and occasionally a grown
animal, the animals disappearing as
II by magic. Pursuit was impossible,
as all trails were obliterated. the paths
to the river basin being over rocky
bluffs, where footprints are not visi-

f. \. Korner. route agent of the
Pacific Express company, has been
here today for the purpose of COM
pleting the arrangements for the new
free delivery service which his COM
pany has started in this city. A week
ago a regular express wagon was
press matter free to all portions of
town. Previously such had been done
by the company within the business
portion. and considerable complaint
was received from the residence Sec
tion, with the result that a free serv-
ice was finally ordered for the entire
city. While here today Mr. Korner
purchased Il horse for the local wagon
which is driven by his brother, Jay
Korner. formerly night man at the
express office.
Route Agent Kurner has now been
i'm the service of the express company
ilt AlliN SOULFUL lol 10 years. DuTlnB
that time he has been on various
runs, part of the time from here to
Spokane, and he has seen Pendleton
grow from a lively little town into a
small city. Two years ago he was the
messenger on the train which was
held up near Troutdale and the ex-
press car dynamited. 1t was his
bravery which thwarted the hold-up,
and for the same he was given a
present of $1,000 by the company,
and his present position. Harshmann.
the bandit who was shot by korner at
that time, is now in the penitentiary
at Salem, but has never been able to
rise from his cot, and it is not thought
he will ever recover from the wound
on the head which he received from
the express messenger that night.

Rnosc,Nlt Has Influence.

Portsmouth, Aug. 21-Witte stated
this afternoon that Roosevelt had
rendered his good offices through
Baron Rosen in the interests of peace
Hard as the Japanese terms may be
and unyielding as the Russians are
said to be, the personal influence of
the president is counted here as most
powerful. There have been num-
Der of situations during the confer
ence apparently just as hard as the
present, which threatened a deadlock
and they have always been smoothed
over by the presidents tact. 1t is be-
lieved he will do as much this time

Arbitration Not Possible.

Portsmouth, Aug. 21.-Witte this
morning said it is idiotic to talk OF
submitting to The Hague tribunal
the questions of indemnity and Sag
halian.
Sato said: MAY be there will be
concessions. May be the final ad-
justment of details will bring the ne
gotiations to an end, but neither side
will submit to The Hague any ques-
tions involving principle. The Japan
ese and Russians can settle the pres
ent differences without the aid of
European countries, or there will be
no settlement"
A partial arbitration of points the
commissioners are unable to settle
may result. The legal advisor of one
of the commissions thinks a board
appointed by the belligerents may de-
eide upon the value Of concessions,
remissions and kindred things.

VIII Join Association.

Arrangements have already been
made for the Pendleton association
10 ioin the northwest organization OF
athletic clubs, to which those in Port
land. Seattle and the other cities or
the Northwest belong, and thereby
the benefits of that association will
be received.
To defray the expenses of the gym
nasium It is the intention to give one
or more local talent entertainments
here during the coming year, and also
10 give club dances in the gymnasium
room during the winter The room Is
go arranged that It will be we'll adapt
ed to this latter purpose. and 1t Is ex-
pected that considerable revenue can
be derived fro mthat source.
The gymnasium committee Is now
working upon the suits to be worn by
the members while using the gymnasi-
um, and they will also select mono
gram for the club.
When the gymnasium and the other
rooms of the association, the billiard
room and library, are finished, 1t Is

casion the rooms will be thrown open

foots up $2.OOO,OOO to $4,000, 900 that
will remain in the pockets of the far
mers Of which the Great Northern
will contribute at. least one-half.
These rates are made in competition
with the 500 Line and Canadian Pa
cific, and astound the officials Of these
roads, who tonight are at loss to un-
derstand its meaning. Railroad men
say that President Hill has determined
to make war on the 500 and his old
time business enemy Tom Lowry,
president Of the road.

Portland. Aug. 21.-Completion Of
the portage road has caused reduc-
ton I'm the wheat rate from Arlington
and intermediate points on the o. r.
& y. of 40 cents a ton. Governor
George Il. Chamberlain, who came
from Salem this morning, feels that
the drop in the Hartman tariffs,
with an excellent prospect of further
decline in rates being announced, in
a measure pays for the portage road.
He is not inclined to the belief that
steamers will be operated on the river
this season in time to care for the
wheat coming from the interior, un-
less one or two individuals see fit to
run steamers for short time to pick
up n small amount OF the trade.
The classification of rates for the
portage road has not been completed
yet but probably will be soon, though
until there is water transportation
provided both above and below The
Dalles there is no occasion for rates
being made. The establishment of n
tariff OF 25 cents ton on wheat, load
ed on the cars of the portage road,
means a through tariff of practically
SO n ton from Lewiston, against $S.S5
by rail. The Open River association
has no announcements to make con-
cerning steamers further than that
negotiations are now in force, looking
to the acquisition of suitable craft
but these same conditions have been
reported for weeks.

Portsmouth. Aug. 21.-The ENJOYS
today are discussing by cable with
their governments the suggestions
made by President Roosevelt. The
president did not interfere with the
negotiations; but whatever action TO
be taken WIN be upon the initiative
Of japan. the reason for the circuit
Gus route being the natural hesitation
Of the Japanese ENJOYS to approach
the Russians directly, for fear their
efforts might be misconstrued.

REDUCTION IN GRAIN RATES
Great Northern Springs Fight on the
Canadian Pacific.

st Paul, Mimi, Aug. 21.-Just as
the movement of the grain crop is
about to begin the Great Northern
railroad today announced a sweeping
reduction in grain rates throughout
its eastern territory, extending to the
boundary of Montana. Three years
ago the road made important reduc-
tions in the western section. The new
rates, 1t is claimed, will add millions
to the potential resources of the far
mers of the northwest
This reduction of rates ranges from
cents per 100 pounds from the most
distant points to half cent from
points nearer the Twin cities and the
head of navigation on the great lakes.
From Williston, N. D., distant from
the head of the great lakes 616 miles,
the reduction is cents per 100
pounds.
THE meaning of these reductions
to farmers of the northwest is some
thing more than the winning of bat
tie or the signing OF some advantage
Gus commercial treaty" said a prom
inent railroad official. 'It affects the
entire grain product of the northwest
for the same rates have been met by
the Northern Pacific and must be met
by every other line doing business in

You cannot tell how far n movement
like this will reach. 1t will mean a

BY October 1 II is expected that the

will he fully equipped and ready for
use Yesterday the members of the
committee who are here. Messrs. Rit-
ner. smythe and Moorhouse, met and
selected the apparatus which will be
purchased. and the order for the
goods has now been placed. The list
is as follows: Horizontal bar, parallel
bar. vaulting horse, five travelling
rings, tumbling mattress, working
mattresses, combination wall ma
chine. Indian clubs, dumb bells. two
punching bags with latest platform

balls. medicine balls and racks, head
attachment for wall machine. and
climbing rope.
With the above the gymnasium will
be started, and other things will he

VIII Employ Physical Director.
II is the wish of the management of
the Commercial association gymnasi-
um TO make 1t a place which will be
used by and be used for the physical
betterment of the members of the as
sociation. rather than to give athletic
training along any particular line
Consequently, they wish to secure
nhysical director to have charge of the
work. and to advise the members In
regard thereto. II is said that such
man will be secured within short
time after the gymnasium is opened,
II not at the very start. Should one
be employed classes will be formed
and systematic instruction given.
The entire room devoted to the
gymnasium is 5Ox50. and was made
for that especial use. On one side
there is a gallery with three or four
rows of seats, and under this are the
dressing rooms. In these rows OF
lockers are arranged. and one will be
assigned to each member. Also, there
arc two showers which will be sup
piled with hot and cold water. where
the members may bathe after exercis-
ing.
