WHO WILL BE CHIEF OF POLICE
Whole Subject Up In the Air 50 Far
Us Information Goes.


Will a new marshal be selected at
the council meeting tonight? That
such action would be taken at this
meeting has been expected since the
resignation of Marshal Coffman last
week, for 1t was presumed that a
choice would be agreed upon within
the week.
This morning several members of
the council declared no choice had
yet been made, or any consultation
held upon the subject. 1t is there
fore possible that the matter may not
be taken up at all this week.
Thus far there is little to indicate
who the council may select for the
position. Both Messrs. Kinsella and
Wilson have been frequently mem
toned since last week. but the for
mer states that he is not an applicant
and would not accept the position
were 1t offered him. AS far as these
men are concerned, the field is left
to Wilson. A
There is a feeling that an entirely
new man may be selected, and in the
event of such being done surprise
may be sprung. John Heathman, ex-
marshal, has been frequently men,
toned as a possibility, and many of
his friends are urging his appoint
ment. But how he will be regarded
by the council is not known.
Meanwhile the duties of marshal
are being performed by ]. A. Stew
ems, who was employed temporarily at
the last meeting.

II. i. Tweedy and Asa Mcdaniel,
who left here three weeks ago for
northern Texas, where they expected
to invest in wheat lands, have turn
ed down the Texas investments as un-
inviting and are now visiting their old
homes in Missouri.
C. Il. Porter, of Grass Valley, Ore,
who was in company with them dur
ing their investigation of the whea.
land offered for sale in the panhan-
die, passed down the o. r. 4 n. to-
day on his return home. He did not
find the outlook favorable to inves-
tors, and so comes back TO Oregon
satisfied to keep his money at home.
Mr. Porter says the Pendleton men
thoroughly investigated everything Of
fered them and made a study of crop
conditions and rainfall and came to
the conclusion that it was not safe
nor promising investment and conse-
quently did not invest a cent.
They left Texas several days ago
for Missouri and will arrive home
within the next 10 days.
The total rainfall at Amarillo, the
center of the district now being
doomed by real estate men, is "a
inches, divided through the year as
follows: January 10 of an inch;
February, SIS; March, AS; April,
al; May, AIS; June, 3.2S; July,
3.52; August, 2.55; September. 2.37;
Octobar, 1.6S; November, 1.31, and
December, 81.
There is little rain in the growing
season, but torrents during harvest
season, according to Mr.. Porter's
statements. and the soil in many
places is so light that the wheat is
actually blown out of the ground and
piled up in heaps against fences and
shrubs. He says many people are GO
ing there, but few are investing and
the boom will result in little actual
settlement, although considerable
land is being bought for speculative
purposes.

LIMITED HOLIDAY TOMORROW.
None Of the Schools and But Few
Business Houses Close.

Although tomorrow will be legal
holiday, Washington's birthday, there
will be no general suspension of bus
iness in Pendleton. At least no ar
rangements have yet been made for
the closing of the larger stores Of the
city. As a rule the Clerks association
takes up the matter of holiday clos
ing, but owing to the present dull
business and the recent holidays, they
have not asked that the stores close
tomorrow.
However, the banks and all public
offices will necessarily remain closed,
and several of the smaller stores now
have notices to the effect that they
will be closed tomorrow.
There will be no holiday for the
school children tomorrow, but instead
school will be suspended on Friday,
thus making three consecutive days
without school.

EDITORIAL

The furnishing Of two cissses Of
meat by the same Department. which
has in its charge the admin nistraffon
OF the lnsular Asylnns, is the most
severe arraignment that conld b.
made against refrigerated beef as an
article Of food.
The evidence is DO ositive and conv-
incing.
1t only remains now to find the
remedy which ought to exist. and
which must exist, in order to save
the health of the children.
Certain rumors have reacked ~. Of
whose truth or falsity we are indiff-
erent, because they IN no wav affect
the defense we have undertakes.
1t is affirmed that part of the bud
get providing for the expenses Of
the charity schools is Insufficient
There IS allowed but twelve cents q
day for the rations of each child.
And the Department does not wish
to be confronted with deficit which
the scarcity and high price Of articles
of first necessity renders inevitable.
This is said. and we shall not
attempt to question it; but whether
true or not, we affirm that il is an
injustice and an act of cruelty 10
compel the unfortunate children in
the r~sylums TO eat food which is
admitted TO be deficient in norris
hment and which, besides, is repug-
nant.
We have criticised and censured
innumerable times the fact that IN
all the budgets there are included
SO called deficiency bills with which
the congregantes save their various
departments from bankruptcy.
1t IS not Our intention to suggest
that these abnOrmalities be convert
ed into law; but i they are practised
IN order to cover expenditures for
which there IS no justification, if they
are indulged in for the purpose of
gratifying the caprices of the con
gregantes, it w0uld be hardly cons-
istent to fall back and invoke respsct
for economies which our tutors have
never observed, when it is a question
of such vital importance as furnish
ing nutritious and pure food to hundr-
eds of poor child1eY.
We have not said all that we int
end saying on this matter. We will.
however, wait and see what action will
be taken by the Executive Council
in this most important matter, and
We hope that its course viii De ore
of rectifcation.
What we are insisting on IS moth
ing more than justice and the exer-
else Of humanity. It seems inconce-
ivable that any one would wish 10
maintain wrong which, aggravated
by contumacy and perpetuated by
turpitude, would be monstrous.
BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1906-06-15

In our article of yesterday, we
said: ;.
The government still has time to
remedya colossal wrong which has
been .perpetratcd against indefensi-
bic creatures and helpless children.
The awarding of the contract for
furnishing meat to the various char
its bic institutions, still lacks the ap-
proval of the Executive Council, and
there is ground for the hope that this
body will refuse its cons sent to the use
of refrigerated beef as an article of
fosd in the asylums under the iuris-
diction of the State.
It is now up to the Executive Coun-
ell to decide this most important
question which has SO aroused pu-
bic opinion.
The use of refrigerated beef in
the charita bic institutions of the Is
land, in the past year met with un-
conquerable opposition in the above
body.
The head of the Consolidated De-
partment, Mr.. Crosas, was one of the
most pronounced and determined
opponents to the project of furnis-
hing this class of beef TO the State
institutions.
We do not hear that there has
this year been any change in either
the conditions or the sentiments of
those who heretofore have opposed
the use of such meat; therefore the
re is reason to believe that in the
Executive Council will now be found
the same opinion which prevailed at
that time.
In the bids pending before the
executive body there are PROPOSE
tions for furnishing two classes of
meat: that coming from cattle killed
in the San Juan slaughter house and
refrigerated beef brought from the
United States.
To the hospital belonging to the
Leper colony, to the sick inmates Of
the penal nstitutionS and to thc wo-
men prisoners, it is proposed to gi-
We fresh beef; to other prisoners and
to the children's asylums, refriger-
ated beef.
1t follows, therefore, that in the
judgment of the departments of Cha
rity and Prisons, refrigerated beef is
not suitable article of 0 o d
for the sick - and with t h c
above it is necessary to include the
insane-and for such it is deem ed
safer and wiser to furnish meat sB, :
a ined from cattle slaughtered in San
Juan.
Taking all this into consideration
it must occur to every thinking per
son that there is gross injustice and
Discrimination made against the unf-
ortunate children confined in the
several charitable institutions of this
Island.
