COUNCIL PROHIBITS BUSINESS
ON SUNDAY AND MUSIC IN
SALOONS.
Reported That Free Excursion From
PendIeton Will be Run to WaIIa
WaIIa Next Sunday.

Pendleton, Aug. 4.-The Pendleton
city council in a thirty minute ses-
sion Wednesday unanimously passed
an ordinance prohibiting business of
any kind, excepting in case of neces-
sity or mercy, to be transacted in
Pendleton on the Sabbath day. The
new law is now in effect and is of a
far more reaching character than the
state Sunday closing law passed by
the legislatures in 1854.
An ordinance absolutely prohibiting
music of all kinds in saloons was al
so passed without a dissenting voice.
The ordinance was drawn up in June,
1904, but upon the recommendation OF
the ordinance committee, it did not go
it's final passage then and
was accordingly put on the shelf for a
future action.
Free Excursion Planned.
1t was reported last evening that
the business men of Walla Walla are
planning a free excursion from Pen
dleton to that city for next Sunday.
The rumor is to the effect that
when they learned in the sister city
that Pendleton was to be a closed
town on Sunday, plans were adopted
to run a free excursion, passengers
being required to purchase coupon
for one dollar which entities the nold-
er to one dollars worth of merchan-
disc at Walla Walla business houses,
If this plan is put into effect many
people have planned to take advant-
age of it, and this city promises 10
be as nearly deserted upon that day
as it has been at any time since IT
was founded.

The high school has an enrolment
this year of something over 200 stud
ents and the grade schools of about
1000. making an aggregate of 1900

RAILROAD LITERATURE OUT.

The first installment of the railroad
literature, opposed to regulation of the
roads by the government, is now out.
The bureau of railroad literature
will be in charge of the brightest writ
ers that money can hire. They will
present the most absolute fallacies in
such sugared terms that many people
will accept them as truths. The OBJ
ject of the bureau and the literature is
to lead the people off on false concep-
tions of the railroad question as re-
lated to government
Only the railroad side of the ques-
ton will be presented. The govern
ment reports showing enormous earn
ings and enormous capitalization will
be left out
Appeals will be made to political
prejudice. Socialism and anarchy
VIII be held up to scare the people
away from intelligent regulation of
railroads. One side only. OF the true
condition will be presented. The first
book sent out proves this. 1t quotes
President Roosevelt until he turned
his attention to railroad regulation,
and then it stops.
1t seems a pity to have so much in
telligence and money used in estab-
fishing a false doctrine, false inn
preston among the masses. The bu-
reau is intended to prejudice people
against government regulation, al
though without regulation the bis
corporations have shown that there /:

sions which they impose upon the

NO MEMORIAL HALL.

When the Lewis and Clark corpora
ton asked the state of Oregon for an
appropriation of 100000 to assist In
holding the fair, it promised Oregon
that at the close of the fair 1t would
contribute the sum of S5O,OOO toward
the construction of a permanent me-
mortal hall, as memento of the fair,
and as a permanent ornament and art
treasure for the state. The state was
TO contribute a like amount to the
hall.
Now that the fair is over and the
money in the pockets Of the corpora
tion. II SAYS 1t cannot contribute. II
savs II is "broke." w. d. Fenton, the
wen known railroad attorney, whose
business is to fool the people by higf
sounding oratory, says the corporation
Is unable to contribute to the me
mortal hall, because the income has
not been sufficient to warrant an,
such an expenditure.
So Oregon can hold the sack, al
usual when dealing with the Port
land politicians and schemers. 1t l.

THE CALAMITY HOWL.

Because the decent people of PEN
dIeton have asked for the regulation
of saloons and the suppression of
gambling, the Tribune tries its hand
at calamity bowling this morning.
1t asks why the business of the city
is going to pieces? Why are vacant
houses found? Why is business de-
creasing? Why is confidence shaken?
Why is the town on the downward
road to ruin?
All because the people demand bet
ter morals and better surroundings in
which to rear families. The Tribune
exaggerates every condition it men
tons as to the business situation.
The Tribune is the mouthpiece OF
the saloons now, and has been in the
past, and will be in the future. This
calamity howl is a part of the saloon
mems program. They hope to scare
business men out of their boots by
CRYING moral wave" "reformers,'
SUNDAY school town." and other catch
phrases coined by gamblers and usec
to scare timid people.
II the business men will get to-
gether and elect set of business mer
to the council the agitation will stop
IL they allow the saloons to dominate
the election, the agitation will not stop
That is all there is to the situation
is easily settled.

and are nearly unanimous In favor of
the stand taken by the East oregonian
for saloon regulation and the suppress
sion of gambling, There is no doubt
about this The East Oregonian re-
ceives assurances OF it every day by
an increasing circulation from the
people who have heretofore not been
patrons OF the paper.
II Pendleton does not regulate the
matter by electing practical. con-
scientious., moral set of men as coun-
cilmen, the county will perhaps take n
hand in the matter next spring and
vote prohibition. This is no joke nor
threat, but plain facts founded on ac-
tual conditions as found in the coun-
ty.
If the actual business and profess
sional men who have large interests at
stake do not take an active part in
this coming city election and select a
set of men who are known to be in
favor of higher licenses and the sup
preston of gambling, they will bring
prohibition upon their heads, and
nothing can stop it for the country
people are determined.
When men cast partisan politics
aside and wade into n moral question
side by side by former political enc
mics, something is doing. This is the
situation in the county outside of Pen
dleton. People are determined thai
the county seat of the greatest coun-
ty in the state shall not be the play
thing of the saloons.

as well known to the men behind the
guns as that of George Dewey or Cen

More than two regiments of men
have served time aboard prison ships
and in government jails as a result
of Miss Kings activities, and today
more than 5000 enlisted men are hid

this young woman, who knows neither
distance. fatigue nor fear.
Her occupation calls her into I'LL
travelled fields, and there she goes
willingly and without fear 1t is her
duty to locate and arrest deserters
from the army. navy and marine corps
and the government records show
that she has delivered more than $500
men who sidestepped their obligations
to Uncle Sans prison keepers. Strange
enough, the men bear her no i'll will.
1t is no uncommon sight to see Miss
King walking through the streets OF

ANDALUsIA HAS LOST $4,000 BY
FAMINE.

For three months the district of An
dalusla, in the south part of Spain,
having an area about as large as llli-
nois, has been In the grip of one of
the worst famines the country has
ever known.
Deaths are occurring at the rate of
more than 800 day.
Since the famine became intense
10000 people have died directly from
starvation, and $1,000 have sucumb-
ed to disease contracted or aggravated
by lack of nourishment.
The famine area has II population
of $500. 900, and of these 100000
are poor peasants directly affected
by the disaster. The prisons are
overflowing with peasants who have
committed petty crimes to compel
the authorities to arrest them, and
supply them with food in the jails.
Hundreds of bands of peasants
roam about the country, pillaging
farms and country homes to obtain
food for themselves and their fami-
lies. Butcher shops, grocery stores
and bakeries in the towns and cities
have been repeatedly rifled by hun
ger-mad crowds, and herds in the
fields decimated.
The direct. cause of the famine is
prolonged drouth. which has re-
suited in the almost entire loss of
the harvests of grains, olives and or
anges. and in a lessening of qualify
and quantity of the wines.
Indirectly. the magnitude of the
disaster that has overtaken Anda-
lusia is due to the medieval agricul-
tural methods of the peasants. The
Andalusians are thriftless and unen-
terprising, and they till their soil
under hardly better conditions than
when their country was under the
dominion of the Moors. The land is
owped by wealthy Spaniards, who
live either abroad or in Madrid, and
who squeeze the peasants heartlessly
The Madrid government is at
tempting to alleviate the distress
caused by the famine. but without
striking success Count Romanones

made an extensive tour of the af-
flicted district, with a company OF
expert advisers, and under his direc-

with all the talk of unfair advantage
which the pitcher with the spit ball" and
foul strike has over the batsman the one
rule which is intended to favor the bats
man and give him an even footing with
the pitcher when the ball is delivered is
to a great extent unenforced. The games
in which balks are called on the pitchers
and the base runners take the bases which
are its punishment are very few and far
between. The improvements in base rum
ming on the other hand have made It
necessary that the runners be kept close
to the bases, so close in fact that offenses
against the balk rule are of very frequent
occurrence. The rules against this display
OF the pitcher are unusually stringent, so
stringent In fact, that II is almost i'm
possible for the umpire to decide at times
when the offense has been committed. Take
two of the nine definitions of the balk for
instance: Throwing the ball by the
pitcher to any base to catch the base rum
ner without stepping directly toward such
base in the act of making the throw" and
Making any motion of the arm shoulder
hip or body the pitcher habtually makes
in his method of delivery without i'm
medately delivering the ball to the bat"
Pitchers often offend against the strict
construction OF these two rules. Few of
the left-handers step directly toward the
base" In making the throw to first, and
many OF the twirlers throw to the bag
after making any "habitual motion Of the
arm, shoulders, hip or body"
