So much opposition has been raised
against trading the old fire engine for
an electric fire alarm system that the
fire committee has cancelled the deal.
Following the councils recent ac-
ton in agreeing to trade the old en-
gine off at a valuation of $500 a
storm of protest arose from many of
the old residents who had seen the
engine work in bygone days Among
those most active in demonstrating
was T. C. Taylor. who held that the
engine was worth more than $500 and
should be retained to be used for
pumping water in case of break in
the pumping plant.
This morning Councilman Ell,
chairman of the fire committee, stated
he had cancelled the trade by phone
last night. BY doing so he declared
they had saved the city $1,000, ac-
cordlng to the claims of the objectors,
and asked that credit be given accord
ingly.
By the terms of the trade agreed
upon, the old engine and $3.50 addi-
tional was to be given for an electric
fire alarm system.

NOT MUCH WHEAT WAS KILLED.
The More Recent Weather is of Great
Benefit

Reports received here today from
farmers of the section northwest of
Pendleton indicate the amount of
wheat frozen during the recent cold
weather will be less than at first
supposed. In several instances farm
ers commenced reseeding in the belief
that their wheat was killed, but have
since found to their joy that the grain
is still growing.
w. p Temple, who recently made a
trip over a large part of the frozen
section, says the loss will be lighter
than at first estimated. According to
Mr.. Temple most of the loss was on
the north slopes, and of bluestem
wheat On his own place he estimates
that out of four sections in wheat only
about zoo acres will have to be re-
seeded. Nor does he think his neigh
bors have Jared any worse.
The warm, rainy weather of the past
few days has been beneficial to the
wheat. According to A. L. knight
the present weather is ideal and will
help the wheat that was affected by
the cold.

REMOVAL Of 0. R. &N. DEPOT PROBABLE

When the depot building is removed
to the site now occupied by the coal
bunkers it will enable trains to cross
over the Main street crossing, and
thus avoid interfering with travel on
that street.
1t will also give more room for
baggage transfer on the platforms
and will be much more convenient in
every way. The depot building has
just been repainted and is now in ex-
cellent condition and will perhaps be
lifted up bodily and moved on wheels
TO the site of the coal sheds. A long
platform will then extend from the
present depot building to the new site
thus giving excellent conveniences for
baggage transfer, and for transfer of
passengers from the main line to the
Spokane branch.
When the Improvement is complete
Pendleton will be well equipped with
depot facilities and the old annoy
ances of blocking the street crossing
will be permanently done away with.

ARMY SAID TO BIZ CRIPPLED.
Compauii,s I'm Active Service Arc
Greatly Decintuted.

Washington, -. c., March 24.-The
attention of the president has been
called to the fact that the line OF the
army Is somewhat crippled by the
large number of commissioned Off
GERS absent on detached dlty and by
the fact thsa few a. the companies of
infantry or troops of cavalry are up
TO their authorized enlisted strength.
This is especially so in the Philippine
islands, where there are companies
out on field service which are reduced
to 20 or 30 men, or about to one fifth
ito one-third Of what the enlisted
strength should be. There is no help
for this, apparently, especially in the
Philippines, where the situation might
become serious ia the event of some
disturbance.
It is likely that an effort will be
made to have the recruiting system
improved and the distribution of new
ly enlisted men perfected 50 as to in
crease the strength of these COM
mands, raising them to n condition
which will give them greater value ip
military operations.

Rapidly-Calderhead is n Firm Be-
lievcr in.Jntensified Farming.

THE people who are coming wes
on the cheap rates this spring are ac.
;tual ,homesee kers and most of then
will stay in the northwest to become
permanent residents" said s b. Cal.
derhead, general freight and passen.
ger agent ofthhe w. & C. r., who has
been in the city today on business con-
nected with This road.
Eastern Washington is receiving
hundreds of 'homeseekers and they
are finding locations in many counties
in the ,easternypart of the state. The
cheap wheat lands of Franklin
Adams and other eastern Washington
counties induce them to stop off, al
though their tickets read to Tacoma,
Seattle or Portland.
One day this week the Northern
Pacific ran four homeseeker trains
out OF st. Paul, AL loaded to the limit
with homese ekers for this sectian of
the country. These people will stop
in Washington and most of them will
become owners of small homes in the
irrigated districts h the unsettled
portions of Franklin, and other cOun-
ties which have not been considered
valuable for wheat Unti recent years,
but which are proving to be excellent
wheat districts.
MIR. Calderhead is enthusiastic over
the prospects for highly cultivated d
small farms in the irrigated section Of
eastern Oregon and Washington. He
believes that the best period of the

which he will go to eastern Oregon to
make a thorough canvass before the

Mr.. Geer has one unique record in
Oregon political history that is, that
he has made a personal campaign in
every county in the state, several
times. In every precinct In every

and practically how 1t will vote at the

While it is not officially announced.
1t is persistently rumored in this city
and information from Portland sub
stantiates the rumor that within the
next 80 or 40 days, the o. Il. & n.
passenger depot in this city will be
removed about 1900 to 200 feet west
ward. to occupy the site now occupied
by the coal bunkers, which will be
moved to another part of the yards,
or possibly out of the city.
e. C. Smith, agent of the o. r. & y.
in this city, has no information on the
subject and has given out nothing
concerning the matter, but reports
from Portland say that such move
on part of the company is contem-
plated in the near future.
The removal of the depot has been
under consideration for a number of
years, and as trains are run more
frequently the matter becomes more
anG more urgent in order to avoid
blocking Main street crossing with
long passenger trains.

PROTECTION OF TRANSPORTS.
Regulations Designed to Prevent Spon'
taneouS Combustion

Washington ID. c., March 24.-The
mysterious causes of the fire on board
the army transport Mede have beerl
traced Officially to sposltaneous conh-
bustiela, an explosion having occurred
in a chest containing soldiers ami
forms and arms pacssnd in creased
cloths. The reports disc say that an
other box, which was being trans
feiued to the transport exploded on
account of the unknown contents Of
can inclosed in the box. This has
he'd to some new restrictions intended
to protect the transports from such
disasters, which, of course, are as
likely to occur after the ship has gone
TO sea, as while .itiis still in port.
The quartermaster general of the
army has issued5a circular calling at
tention to the warning given by the
accident on the Meade and directing
that nothing of an explosive nature,
oiled or CREASED cloths, matches, or
other material fiable to ignite by fric-
tion or confinement, be packed in any
box or chest intended for shipment on
an army transport. Regimental and
company commanders are required to
see that these precautions are taken.

New York, March 24.-H. II. Rog-
ers was the principal figure in the
hearing of Missour's custer suits
against Standard Oil today.
Questioned regarding the officials
of the subsidiary companies, he said
that d. A. Moffat is president of the
Standard in Indiana, and sent for the
records Hadley wanted.
Rogers said he did not own any
stock in the Waters Pierce, but had
"heard of the company answering
Hadley's charge that the Waters
Pierce, Republic and Standard are all
the same. Rogers said his knowledge
of such details is limited. Attorney
Eddy interrupted saying the defense
would admit the Standard of New Jer-
sey controlled these companies.
Hadley said, II am perfectly satis-
fled. The admissions were everything
1 came for" The grace with which
the admissions were made, and the
signed statement showing the owner
ship, being given Hadley, creates sus-
picion. some saying a Standard trick
is unearthed.
William G. Rockefeller, the bald
young man, was delighted at Hadley's
questions and followed Rogers on the
stand. William, who Is assistant
treasurer of the Standard, said he had
heard his uncle John was president
of the Standard" Leaving the build
ing, William outstripped the photo
graphers, who followed like a pack of
hounds. He proved the faster runner
and escaped.
