DELIGHTFUL PICNIC.

Caledonians Close One of the Best
Gatherings In the History of the
County.
The Caledonian picnic which closes
at Athena tonight has been one of the
very best ever held in Uamtilla coun-
ty and has been highly enjoyed by
large crowds from all parts of the
county.
over 100 people from Pendleton
have attended the picnic on the two
days and people from Milton, Weston,
Walla Walla and all other nearby
points have been in attendance.
The delightful program of dances,
songs, recitations and addresses pub
llshed in the East Oregonian before
the picnic has been carried out in de-
tail and It has been very successful in
every way. The Scotch songs, bag
pipes and dancing have been especial
ly entertaining and the people of
Athena have sustained their reputa-
tion as entertainers and whole-souled,
hospitable westerners in every par
ticular.

Taxes VIII Not Be Excessive.

San Francisco, May 26.-In an in-
terview this morning Mayor Schmitz
said there would be no advance in
the tax rate. The one dollar limit
will be vigorously preserved. Munici-
pal expenses will be reduced to the
lowest possible figure. The yearly
appropriation for each department of
city government will be reduced prac-
tically one-third, and the salaries of
all city employees will be apportioned
on that basis. The reapportionment
of the salaries to- conform with the
reduced appropriation will do away
almost entirely with the necessity of
discharging any one now on the pay
roll, but there will be one-third re-
duction in pay, while the most rigor-
Gus economy must be maintained
declared the mayor. He continued:
81 am in thorough accord with the
plan of reducing the salaries of city
employees rather than cutting down
any department personnel. These
men have families, and in this crisis
II is absolutely necessary they have
steady work"
Mayor Schmitz believes also that
the officers of the city should and
will help out the situation by accept
ing a reduction in salaries for the re-
malnder of their terms.

Judge w. r. Ellis, future congress-
man from this district, will deliver
the Decoration Day address at the
Frazer theater next Wednesday fore
noon. Just before his departure for
Heppner recently Judge Ellis was re-
quested by the committee TO serve as
Decoration Day speaker. At the time
he was unable to promise definitely
regarding the matter, but this fore
noon Lee Teutsch, chairman of the
arrangements committee, received a
message from the Judge at Heppner,
saying he would speak.
AS Judge Ellis is one of the best
known men in this section and a pop
ular speaker, the committee feels for
tunate in securing him for the occa-
sion.
Arrangements are now nearly COM
plete for the Decoration Day exercises
and should the weather be pleasant
that day 1t will be an occasion long to
be remembered.
At 1915 Wednesday morning the
parade will be formed. The school
children will meet at their respective
schools previous to that time. and all
will march to the corner-of Main and
Bluff streets. The line of march will
then be down Main street to Court and
up that thoroughfare to Vincent
street. There the parade will disband
and those desiring to do so may go
to the theater for the exercises to te
held there.
In the parade each school will
march separately, the procession be-,
ing composed as follows:

BIG FIGHT A FAILURE.
Nelson and Herrera Fail to mix" at
Los Angeles,

Los Angeles, May 26.-Because
both Nelson and Herrera were too fat
TO fight and failed to come to terms,
the sporting public awoke this morn
ing with dark brown taste in its
mouth as a result OF the fight fiasco.
1t will be many days before the fol-
lowers of the boxing game recover
from the shock. The condemnation
OF Herreras action is general and a
movement has been started to have
him blacklisted in every reputable
boxing club in the country.
Nelson and Nolan are the sorest
pair OF men In town, but the almost
unanimous approval is given the
stand taken by them. Is some balm
to their wounded feelings and pocket
books
Jeffries published a statement this
morning In which he lauds Nelson to
the skies. 1t is particularly pleasing
to the little Dane, who on account
Of his refusal to permit Jeffries TO
referee the Britt-Nelson fight, had
not stood well with the ex-champion.
Nolan today made a demand for
$1,000 forfeit deposited by by Herre-
ra to make weight. 1t is likely Her
rera will meet this with a demand
for Nelson's $1,000 forfeit for non-ap-
pearance.
Nolan is preparing TO go with Mel
son to New York where he believes
number of good 10-round matches
await the Dane.
