RESUMPTION OF sMOOT INVESTIGATION

Washington, Jan. 1T.-Judge Nc
Carly resumed his testimony i'm the
Smoot hearing this morning with the
statement that there was a disposi-
ton among the MOrmons to turn the
judiciary of the state over to the Cen
tiles. with the exception of some dis
trict judgeships. Church officials
tried TO keep entirely out of politics,
but were continually nagged by poll
ticians.
r. w. Young, formerly in the reg
ular army, testified he was a demo-
crat and Mormon. grandson of Brig
hom Young, and president of one OF
the four "stakes' into which Salt
Lake is divided by the church. Is
not polygamist. and believed the
sentiment of Mormons is decidedly
hostile to polygamy. Since 1890 there
has been no teaching of polygamy and
the policy of the church was to dis
courage the practice.

The first shipment of North Pow
der ice for the season, was received
by the o. r. & N. this morning and
the section men are busy today stor-
ing 1t away in the ice houses of the
company. This shipment amounted
to six cars or $50 tons. 1t will re-
quire 600 tons to fill the ice house.
While the ice is about IA inches in
thickness, the harvest is very late
and the first shipments are of unusu-
ally thin ice for this season of the
year. The weather has been too mild
In the North Powder country for a
first-class quality of ice, and the
shipment will be delayed until a bet
ter grade is formed.
North Powder is the ice supply
point for natural ice, for all of East
ern Oregon, there being three large
ponds in use, to all of which the o.
r. & N. company has built spurs and
switches, for loading ice from the
ponds, without an extra transfer.
There are now over 100 men at
work in the ice harvest and at the
height of the harvest over 200 men
will be employed. Every freight
train that passes North Powder going
either way, during the winter season
picks up the ice cars.

PENDLETON MAY HAVE $4,000 THEATRE

rooms, fronting on Main street, with
a 25-foot corridor between, leading
back to the main entrance of the
theater which would be back SO feet
from Main street. At the back END
of this corridor could be situated the
box offices and business offices. There
would be a system of folding doors
in the front entrance of the auditori.
um. so the entire 25-foot corridor
could be opened up for an exit, beside
having three exits on the Railroad
street side.
Local capitalists are enthusiastic
over the proposition, and all that re-
mains to prevent the consummation
of the plan will be the refusal Of the
o. r. & N. Co. to lease the property
for term of sufficient duration.
