East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-08-15

It is probable that no councilman
will be appointed to take the place
recently vacated by Walter Wells,
when he resigned a couple OF months
ago. Mayor Matlock has now been
back from Alaska for some time and
has been present AT several meetings
of the council. but at none of them
has he broached the subject of the
appointment of the eighth member Of
that body. This morning, when ask
ed regarding his intentions in the
matter. he said that owing to the
short time which the new appointee
would have to serve he hardly con-
sidered an appointment necessary
and might let the matter go until the
next city election. The term which
Wells was serving will expire on De-
cember 81. and consequently the new
man could hold his seat only for a
few months. During that time he
could count for little upon any i'm
portant question that might come be-
fore the council, as those now in that
body work together almost as a unit
under the direction of their leaders,
that the position of the new man,
should one be appointed, would not
be enviable, because OF the fact that
he could do nothing and would be
an official in name more than any
thing else.
Another reason why the mayor is
hesitating with the appointment is
because he is aware that any appoint
ment which he might make would be
unsatisfactory to one or the other OF
the two forces created by the recent
saloon fight.
When the present municipal term
ends on December 81, the terms OF
four members of the present council
and also of the mayor will expire
The councimen to go out are Messrs
Dickson, Sewell and Johnson, while
the fourth vacancy will be that caus-
ed by the Wells resignation. Those
remaining in the council will be
Messrs Swearingen, Murphy, Fergu-
son and Rem. Thus when the new
councilmen have been elected there
will be four old and four new men,
bers, unless some of those now in Of
flee be reelected. In view of this
chance for an equal division in the
council the character and policy OF
the new mayor will be of unusual inn
Portance, for he will be virtually the
ruling power.

Three Typical Hoboes.

Three boys, two white and one col
ored, typical hoboes of the worst type
were in the city today, guests at the
o. r. & N. depot all day. They are
from Omaha and show the wear and
tear of travel in every possible way.
The colored boy is cashier for the par
ty and had SO in silver wrapped In
handkerchief in a pocket in an under
pair of pants. When the trio wished
anything to eat the colored cashier
counted out the change and sent
white boy to the lunch counters for
It. They have ridden on top of pas
senger coaches most Of the way from
Omaha, and are seeing" the Pacific
coast. They are 13 years cd and
have been out two years, they say.

Master mechanics representing all
the railroads in the state, will protest
to the state board of forest commits
sioners against the enforcement of a
ruling that spark arresters on locomo-
tives shall have six meshes to the
inch, says the Walla Walla Statesman,
Three mesh arresters are claimed by
the railroads to be the standard and
the only kind that will work satisfac-
torily with Washington coal.
The Northern Pacific has already
protested and this protest will be
Joined by the other roads operating
in Washington. The Pacific Coast
company has announced an intention
of taking up the fight on behalf Of
the Columbia & Puget Sound.
For woodworking locomotives 1t is
claimed the smaller mesh arresters
can be worked more satisfactorily,
but aside from the small logging roads
operated under private ownership,
coal is the fuel for Washington roads.
Coal-burning locomotives would be
put out of business by the mesh pre-
scribed by the forestry board. 1t Is
pointed out by the master mechanics
that the coal dust and smoke would
fiji up the fine mesh and within a
short time would choke up the stacks
so that It is questionable whether
smoke could be emitted and 1t would
be impossible to keep up steam.
During the summer months the Pa
cific Coast company uses Franklin
coal on the Columbia & Puget Sound.
This fuel does not emit sparks that
will live until they reach the ground,
but the company does not protest
against installing three-mesh spark
arresters. 1t is claimed with the
three-mesh arresters sparks can be
held in the stacks and the draft Will
not be shut off.
The law is general in Its effect, de-
manding the use of spark arresters
from June to October in all locomo-
tives, logging engines and farm en-
gines or boilers. Thus far there has
been no disposition, save in one in
stance. to make trouble for the roads
using three-mesh arresters, but trou-
BILE is anticipated.
Railroad attorneys claim the order
of the board can be successfully re-
sisted in court on the ground that It's
enforcement would prevent the opera
ton of trains. But the railroad COM
panies are anxious to avoid expensive
litigation, and will make their appeal
to the board of forest commissioners
for a revision of the ruling.

Six million pounds of wool, double
the amount baled last season, marks
the seasons work at the Furnish
warehouse for the year 1905.
This evening the last pound of wool
in the warehouses will be baled and
the doors will close upon the wool
harvest to open upon the enormous
wheat crop which is NOW rolling in by
the wagon load.
This has been the heaviest business
season ever enjoyed by the Furnish
warehouse, in the wool haling indus
try. Two monster presses have been
running constantly since April 25,
with an average of 20 men employed
during that time.
Last year only 100000 pounds
were baled and but half the force of
men employed. Next year still more
than this years output will be baled
as the business has expanded and
reached out to new territory this sea-
son and secured a strons hold on the
wool producers of this territory,
The crew will now disband for the
season, most of them to engage in
other work here while some of the
expert sorters will go away for the
remainder of the season.

warehouse, ]. W. Sutherlin. 10 MEM

JOE WILLIAMS ARRESTED.
Charged With Stealing Saddle From
Louis Keene.

Joe Williams, an Indian who has
seen the inside Of the county Jail be-
fore, was brought down last evening
from Athena by Louis Keene, special
constable. Williams is charged with
having taken a saddle horse belong
ing to Keene from a rack in Athena,
and of turning the horse loose after
taking the saddle. Thereupon Keene
was sworn in as a special constable
and caught the Indian and brought
him here last evening. His case will
be taken up by the district attorney.
Evidently Williams has something
of a mania for stealing saddles, for
his previous offense was of the same
nature, only the other time he stole
from a fellow Indian instead of a
white man.

THE RIGHTS OF A NEWSBOY.


1t is good to know that all legal pro-
ceedings are not of the ''Jarndyce
versus Jarndyce" type, bound to i'll
efficiency by yards of red tape, but
that the ear of the law can stoop to
hear the claims Of a child, and the
directness the interests of little
street boy. The report Of the juvenile
court Of Denver Col, gives an in
stance that is worth quoting.
One day in busy civil session of
the court, which was trying will
courtroom door opened and a boy
poked in a tousled head and freckled
face. The court officer "shoeed' him
out, but he returned secure in the
knowledge of his rights there.
The judge ordered a recess of three
distinguished counsel, and the boy
came to the bench.
He was a newsboy. He said that
he was having trouble; that for two
years policeman on the beat had
let him sell papers on certain corner,
and now, as he expressed 1t, "a fly
guy" had taken his place, and because
he was new cop, he thought he
owned the town." and had ordered the
boy off the favorite corner, thereby
making him lose fifty cents day.
The judge did remarkable and I'M,
usual thing. Considering that the boy
had case as important as the one
before the bar concerning the millions
that dead man had left behind him
for surviving selfishness, he held up
all proceedings while justice was done
to the little chap of the streets.
There is often a rich kernel of right
in little thing. A principle of justice
Is no bigger when it applies to rich
peoples money than when it concerns
poor boys pennies Injustice might
have driven the boy out of honest
business. It might have impressed in
delibly upon him resentment against
the law and contempt for it. That
is one way bad citizens are made.

They Become Sophisticated, but Lose

It is far call, indeed, from the wild

animal food are remotely different
from what they were in the beginning.

added beauty and usefulness to the
