THANKSGIVING GAMES.
Multnomah Defeated by the U. of o.
Team at Portland.

The husky eleven of the Multnomah
Athletic association was defeated in
the Thanksgiving football game play
ed at Portland yesterday, by the
University of oregon team, by a
score of to 4.
This is the first defeat suffered by
the Portland team since the Thanks
giving game was instituted 10 years
ago. The game was magnificent and
every point was strongly contested.
The Oregonian of this morning says
of the game:
The game was a superb exhibition
and was witnessed by record crowd,
the bulk of whom wore the colors of
the university.
The local team saved itself from
being shut out early in the first half
on drop kick by James, the full
back, from Oregon's 25-yard line.
This followed the brilliant work by
Halfback Lonergan, whose playing,
besides being the feature of the game
from Multnomah's viewpoint, undoubt-
edly saved his team from worse de-
feat.
Oregons scoring was in the second
half. The points were won on two
place kicks by Moullen, left tackle,
who sent the ball between the goal
posts twice out of four opportunities
offered, after long end runs by Moore
! who played at left end.

Invitations have been received by
number of Pendleton people TO he
present at a meeting Of Commercial
clubs and shippers that is to be held
in Eugene on December for the pur-
pose of discussing the car shortage
and other things relating to the rail-
road situation. The movement for the
meeting is backed by the commercial
clubs of Eugene and Cottage Grove.
both Of which places have suffered
by the ear shortage because the same
has paralyzed the lumber industry of
that section.
At the recent meeting of the Cot
tage Grove organization a resolution
was passed which among other things
asked for the enactment of a law pro-
vldlng that reciprocal demurrage
charges be paid by railroads when
they fail to handle freight promptly.
The resolution in full is as follows
God Was Good.
Whereas. God has given our great
state 'houndless natural wealth and
blessed us with resources from which
to draw the sustcnancc for the world.
And whereas the general govern
mont in congress assembled saw fit
when our state was young and needed
facilities for development, to grant
certain corporate interests large tracts
Of land covered with the timbered
wealth of the State, ms a subsidy to
built railroads along the western side
of the state. and;
Whereas, ny such grant and the
building OF such railroad the said cor
poracion has virtually pledged itsel:
to foster the development Of the ter
IStory tributary to its rails. and
Whereas. great lumber industry
has grown up IN this territory and
whereas large number of people are
now dependent upon the lumber in
dustry for a livelihood, and
Railroads Would Ruin.
Whereas, the action of, and the at
titude Of the aforesaid corporation Is
such as TO discourage and ruin the
lumber business, and
Whereas the general welfare of the
country is dependent upon the lum-
Der business.
Therefore we, the members of the
Commercial club of Cottage Grove
Ore, in regular meeting assembled, d9
hereby resolve that IL has been neces-
sary for the legislature of this state
to enact such railroad legislation as
will compel the Southern Pacific
Railroad company. the corporation
above referred to. to transport
promptly products of the state as they
are offeerd tn the said Southern Pa
ciftc Railroad company for transpor-
tation.
For RCc1procai Demmrage.
And we would favor and urge YOU
as our representative in the legis!a-
ture a reciprocal demurrage law SIM
liar to those in effect In other states,
n maximum rate law, and a new tax
law which will cover the timber of the
state held by individuals or corpora
tions and regularly assessed at values
far below its market price or what It
would bring at sheriff sale.
We, therefore, ask you to give these
measures your earnest attention and
diligent support In the next session of
the legislature.

OF the Thanksgiving game played
at Walla Walla yesterday the Union
says this morning;
1t was an exceptionally good game
of football that was played on Ankeny
field yesterday afternoon between the
Whitman second team and the Walla
Walla high school. And the best thing
about it was that neither team had
its Thanksgiving marred by being de-
feated. Not a score was made by
either side, and never in either half
was either goal in danger

"A Guarantee on Taxes. !"

The Wauchula Advocate brings
out on its front page beautifully
b OF d exc d-worthy-t o-be-framcd-
article with a list of fifty-four
signatures of Wauchula citizens
attached. The article reads thus:
I'VE, the undersigned citizens,
after having investigated county
division are so thoroughly con-
WINGED that our taxes will be
materially reduced we therefore
guarantee to the voters in the pro-
posed new county that in the
event the county is divided that
the present milIage shall not be
increased by reason of said
division. We further obligate and
bind ourselves that should the
millage be raised by reason of said
division we will be personally re
sponsible and will pay into the
treasury of the proposed new
county any amount over and above
the present rate of miIlage"
This guarantee means absolutely
nothing and is not worth the paper
it is printed on. Why9 Because
in some instances the rate of tax
alton is already up to the limit pre-
scribed by law. This is true of
school taxes where the largest
deficit will be. The said agree
ment does not hinder a new assess
ment of the voters property. If
the millage remains. the same or
even less and the assessment on all
property is raised are not the dear
people paying increased taxesf
This proposition may deceive
Wauchula voters but it cannot

methods resorted to legally to
secure more money when needed
for public Improvements.

mentl

Against Division.

Division Of county or the
creation of new counties, is, as the
Punta Gorda correspondent says,
prerogative of the legislature.
And the questions that the legis-
lature will ask, viz; Have you
the territory Have you the
population Have you the taxable
property Can you show that the
best interests of the people living
within the proposed lines will be
benefited Are you able, willing
and prepared to take upon your
self the responsibility of a county
organizations"
These questions have not, in our
opinion been satisfactorily
answered by those clamoring for
division. Nor can they be. The
only question that can be truly
answered in the affirmative is that
Of, Have you the territory"
The rest should have all emphatic
No. Territory is the least inn
portant of all the counts, for II is
we'll known that the reason for our
counties that are SO large in area
is the effort to combine under one
organization a sufficient number of
people to warrant the formation of
new county. DeSoto may em-
brace too much land, but it certain
~ has not the population to justify
creating three counties out of one,
The voting strength of DeSoto
county is given by the registration
officer as $500. This divided into
three counties would give $3.50
voters to each county, which indi-
Gates most certainly too small a
population with which to establish
a new county.
These $685. voters are not
financially able to support county
government. DeSoto, if the county
is divided, would feel the burden
but little, but the other counties,
in spite of the assertions of office
desiring politicians, would find
themselves with a white elephant
on their hands that would be a
very bad inveftment. We who OPP
pose division have the figures to
show for the assertions we make.
The division folks laugh at these
figures but cannot laugh bard or
long enough to drive them away,
altho they are trying the jugglers
arts OIL them.
The people of the proposed new
counties are not able or willing to
take upon themselves the respon-
sibilities Of the new counties when
it comes to facts. They are being
mislead by a few who have person
al ends to gain by division. The
common people have nothing to
gain but everything to lose by
division.

a report that he has clue TO the identity
and whereabouts Of the person believed
to be a discharged soldier of the Twenty
NTH infantry, who shot and seriously
wounded Captain Edgar B. MaclSlin a

that he has secured definite information
and that the assailant will be in custody
within a short time.

many weeks to restore his health

prominent physician, by a negro yester-
day afternoon While Major Penrose posi-
lively declines to discuss the affair at
this time It is understood from other
army sources that all of the regulars
have been accounted for and that the
insult was given either by a discharged
soldier or a negro civilian who might
have purchased his cast-off uniform. 1t
is understood arrests are to be made soon,
but that If possible the fact will be kept
secret in order to avoid probable mob
violence.

LONDON, Dec. 2s.-The United States Is

embarrassment through it's failure to send

James Bryce as ambassador to Washing

official announcement of the appointment
can be published The appointment had
been admitted by the Foreign office and
Mr.. Bryce has announced 1t in a letter to
his constituents, but the proclamation Of
the king is lying on a desk awaiting a
cablegram from Washington. The moment
this message is received a special gazette
will be issued and formal information sent
to the press
Nothing has been decided in the matter
of a peerage for James Bryce, and in this
case also the general belief is that he will
continue TO be plain Mr.. Bryce, both be-
cause Of his own inclination and because
of the opinion that America would prefer it.

UNION PACIFIC PLANS CUTOFF
Seeks to Avoid Big Hill mt AthoI on
Line from Denver to
Coast.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Dec. 2S.-(special.)-
About six months ago 1t was announced
that the Union Pacific had a party of
surveyors in the field surveying a cutoff
from a point near Carr on the Colorado
division. to point near Borie, on the
Wyoming division. west of Cheyenne, thus
avoiding Athol hill and shortening the run
from Denver to coast points by two hours.
Today right-of-way maps were filed by
the Union Pacific in the office Of the
county clerk here showing this cutoff al
most exactly as described at that time.
The map is certified to by r. L. Huntley,
chief engineer of the Union Pacific system,
and shows that portion of the cutoff lying
in Laramie county. 1t is understood that
the new line will leave the present right
of-way at a point near Carr station, on the
Union Pacific, extending to a connection
with the main line of the Union Pacific
west of Cheyenne about one and one-half
miles east of Borie. Another line will
leave the cutoff in section S3, township
49, range g., and will extend to a con-
nectlon with the Union Pacific near Cor
lett about eight miles east of Borie This
second line will be used for traffic between
Cheyenne and Denver only, all the western
business passing over the main cutoff
Construction work on the new line will
be started as early as possible, probably
during the month of March, and 1t is the
desire of the company to have trains run
ming over the shortcut before the end OF
1907
The new line will mean only the saving OF
a few miles between Denver and Salt Lake
City, but it will mean vast saving in time
almost two hours being consumed in climb.
