The Hannaford has been out of

Mountain Gem and Columbia also in

WALLA N|ALLA MEETS WITH DISASTER

The score at the end of the first
half of the game this afternoon was
81 to 0 in favor of Pendleton, and
Walla Walla had not made yardage
at that time. Pendleton made five
touch downs successfully in the first
half and the game was landslide in
favor of the local team.
This afternoon the high schools Of
Walla Walla and Pendeton met on
the Alta street grounds. The former
team arrived on the morning pas
senger train and were here practical
ly all day long. Previous to the game
the general sentiment was that PEN
dleton would win by good, safe
score, and few Walla Walla hackers
we're to be found.
The lineup of the Pendleton team
was Just the same as in the one with
Whitman last Saturday, and was as

Odessa, Nov. 3.--This city is an in
ferno still. The sacking of Jewish
quarters, plllaging and murder con-
tinue unchecked. For over As houn
now the town has been seething
caldron of tumult. Troops this morn
ing are contenting themselves with
preventing the pillaging of the homes
of Christians.
General Kaulbars has earned the
detestation of every decent person in
the city. He allows the mob full sway.
Students are throwing their lives
away uselessly in attempts to subdue
the mobs. Their efforts in this direc-
tion have caused the Cossacks to at
tack them as rioters. About noon the
situation became somewhat improved,
but no attempts were made to resume
business operations.

Government Wants sss,ooo.

Seattle, Nov. S.-The United States
government this morning filed a COM
plant against Peter McMartin, ID. A.
McMartin and Walter Fairbanks. sue
ing them for $33,OO0 damages. The
complaint states that the men stole
timber from the government timber
land in Snohomish county in 1900.
The men are said to have cut down
and sold in the form of shingle bolts
59SS cords of fir and 29SO cords OF ce-
dar. This is valued at the sum sued
for, and the government hopes to ac-
quire that amount in civil action.

al of n clause providing for. the sub
sequent purchase of the gas plant by

other two changes proposed were but
reasonable. According to him, the
consuming public would be but TAX

rates would have - be paid.
A. ID. StiIlman.
a. ID. Stillman, when seen this
morning. declared his approval of the
clause making II possible for the city
to secure possession of the gas plant
should they desire to do so. In prin-
ciple he believes in the public owner
ship of such utilities wherein the right
of eminent domain has to be given by
the government to a corporation. AL
so. IN his opinion, should the city hold
the right to purchase the plant, 1t
would have the effect OF keeping
prices within reason. However, as he
had not investigated the subject fully,
he did not care to express himself on
the second and third changes that
are proposed in the franchise.
X. Alexander.
II. Alexander stated that he believ-
ed the city should really own the gas
plant, and that accordingly he favored
such a wording of the franchise as
would allow of the securing OF the
plant should it be desired by the city
at some time in the future.
NJ. A. RAIDER.
NJ. a. RAIDER said that he would like
10 see a gas plant started here, as
there was a need for such. However,
he believed the three amendments
should be embodied In the franchise so
as to safeguard the interests of the
city in the future.
Object of Company Shown.
one of the strongest objections that
is now being made to granting the
Northwestern Gas & Electric COM
pany a franchise as drawn up, is the
fact that they make a higher rate
for gas for lighting purposes than for
fuel. For the latter they offer to
furnish gas for 81 per 1000 feet; for
fuel and light together they ask $225
per 1000 feet and for light alone,
they make the price $3.50 per 1000
feet This variation in prices is made
with the evident purpose of making
the lights expensive, so as not to in
terfere with the use of electricity.
Otherwise, il is said there could be
no reason for charging more for gas
for lights Than for fuel, as exactly the
same gas is used for both purposes.

company have been suggested:
IA clause providing for the pur-
chase of the plant by the city. should

poses
3.-A clause providing for the pay
mcnt to the city OF five per cent of
the gross income after three years.
To ascertain the sentiment of busi-
ness men regarding the above, num-
ber of representative citizens were
seen today and were found TO be prac-
tically unanimous In saying that the
gas franchise should contain the above
provisions, either as stated or with
notifications. on else H. should not
be granted
Since the opposition to the granting
OF the monopolistic franchise was
started by the East Oregonian, there
has been considerable attention given
the subject by men who have the
future welfare OF the city at heart.
and as was inevitable, they are OPP
posed to the giving Of the franchise
on the terms asked.

T. G. Taylor stated that he favored

quent purchase Of the plant by the
city should such become desirable.
and also that he believed five per

great an amount to be paid the city
for the privilege granted However.
regarding the adjustment of rates, he
feared that changing them every three
years might have the effect Of maxi
ing the husiness too uncertain.

pany should and doubtless is ready to

they can secure II. at liz matter

However. regarding the payment of

city, he believes that II would be bet
