Condemns Infected Fruit.

Pendleton, August % Startling
statements concerning the Pendleton
fruit market we're made Saturday by
County Fruit Inspector Evans, who
while In the city seized a wagonload
of infected fruit and burned it in the
western suburbs of the city.
Mr.. Evans says that packinA
house In Milton is selling oulls and
infected fruit to peddlers at cent a
pound, and that these peddlers then
bring 1t to Pendleton ana dispose of
1t to the merchants of this city. 1t
was load of pears thus sold to a
peddler that Mr.. Evans destroys
Saturday morning.
Mr.. Evans states further that the
fruit dealers of this city do not seem
TO be inclined to pay much attention
to the law, or his warning, but that
the warning lie gave each and every
one Of them SATURDAY is to be the
last. The fine provided by law for
the Offer ing for sale of any infected
fruit Is from $50 to 500, and Mr..
byns delaIes that this fine will be i'm.
po@d ag3anst the next Pendleton mer-
chant that offers such fruit for sale. !.
1t seems that the officials in the
city Of Walla Walla and the other
darlington toNus will not allow the
peddlers with infected fVuit to come
into the city, md therefore it b al
ways @nt to Pendleton to be disposed
Of.
Mr.. Evans is also after the pGDking
house at Nation, and Rlys that he
will see that the PeddIes chose fsuit
he destroyed is fxsAg ISamsutad by
the PAGING compsny.

COST OF IRRIGATION
DISTRICTS DITCH

In statement which we print be-
low will be found an accounting of
what 1t has cost to build the section
of the new ditch of the Hood River
Irrigation District, which has so far
been completed and the amount of
funds still on hand. 1t is estimated
that IL will require $4,000 more to
complete the ditch which amount 1t
is said will include all expenditures
The proposition has been much
more expensive one than was antici-
pated and for this reason has ex-
oeeded the original estimate. AS the
ditch will practically reclaim many
acres OF land that would otherwise be
useless 1t Is thought that the addl-
ti0nal expenditures Ia we'll warranted.
The statement Is as follows
There are 620 stations or 62, 600 lin
cal feet of the Hood River Irrigation
District ditch from Ditch creek to
the south fork Of Green Point creek.
There have been 800 stations or 81, 200
lineal feet completed at cost of $780,
ia, leaving 298 stations or 20, 800 lin
cal feet still unfinished. AT an aver
age cost of 81. l5 per lineal foot this
would amount to $34, 270.
The approximate cost Of the Rorden
and Dead Point ditch from Dry
Chute to the intersection with the
Dead Point ditch near L. w. Cal
breth's place will be $4,000. The
cost of completing the Moore contract
will be about $500. Added to the
above will be the enlarging of the old

BITTER FIGHT ON
Between the American Trottine Asso-
citation and the Managers of
Fair Tracks.

There is now a bitter tight on be-
tween the American Trotting Associa-
ton and the managers of various fair
tracks throughout this state 1t ap-
pears that the A. T. A. wishes to
control trotting matters and rule the
small track magnates, without repre-
sentation. A News reporter talked to
l.. P. d. Yost, the secretary of the
Canton Driving Park Association, in
reference to this matter, and the eff
feet it might possibly have on local
trottinf events, and was informed that
the association in this clCy did not
come under the ruling of the American
Trotting Association, but was affiliat-
ed only with the National 1rotUng
Association. While this sur in driv-
ing circles does not affect the meet
ings held in this city, it Will no doubt
affect the meets in the majority of
racing tracks and fair associations in
this state.
In view of the fact that the rulings
and methods of the A. It. A. do not
coincide with the smaller organiza-
tions, meeting was held in Mansfield
recently by the fair managers, when
steps were taken to organize an indie
pendent association, by appointing A.
p. Sandles, of Ottawa; r. R. Greive, of
Xenia, and William Clifford, as
special committee to work out details
of organization. This committee will
report at meeting to be held in Jan
uary, at which time the separation will
no doubt be accomplished.

AS MURDERERS
Two Polish Laborers Were Positively
Identified by Boy.

Trenton, N. J., Dec. 23.--Michael
Bodner and Michael Kapolas, two Pol
ish laborers arrested here Friday night
for trespassing have been positively
identified as the murderers of Charles
Pregge, the sixteen-yearold boy of
Kensington, Pa, who was killed and
robbed Friday evening. District De-
tectives James Meeley and James
Hough, of Kensington, accompanied by
boy who was with Pregge at the time
of the, murder, came here today and
when the lad was taken to the cell
where the two Poles were confined, he
exclaimed:
That's the man" pointing to Kap-
olas, "he killed Charley" The prison
ers denied being in Philadelphia at
any time and claim that they left Al
lentown, their home, Thursday and
went to Elizabeth, N. j., in search of
employment Being unsuccessful, they
were returning to Allentown when ar
rested at Trenton Junction by Detec-
tive Mitchell for walking on the rail
road tracks.

to be looked after more closely in the
near future. Looking toward this end
bill of unusual interest to all pen
sioners of the government has been
introduced in the senate. 1t provides
specifically that all pensioners shall
be paid regularly each month instead
of every three months as at present,
1t is proposed to have the pension
agents, mail checks on the last day
of each month, with restrictions no
more onerous than are made by the
treasury department bonds This
means that the vouchers sworn to

of 25 cents each, are to be done away

RUSSIAN CONSUL
Will Talk Over the De RayIan Scandal
With Ambassador Rosen at
Washington.

Chicago, Dec. 23.-Censured because
the Russian consulate. in Chicago has
become involved in the DeRaylan
scandal, Consul Won Schlippenbach
left for Washington tonight to make
verbal report on the case to Amr
bassador Rosen He will represent to
the ambassador that when Nicolai
DeRaylan applied for a clerkship in
the consulate thirteen years ago, he
bore letters from high Russian offic-
ials introducing him as man and
that there was not the slightest reason
for supposing the visitor to be a wom-
an in disguise. DeRaylan, he will
add, was an excellent clerk and be-
haved with propriety for several
years. When it was discovered that
the clerk was running a bureau at
which Russian immigrants were fiec-
ed of large sums for the most trivial
services, he was promptly dismissed
from theSconsular service.
For the fact that DeRaylan contin-
ued the bureau, deriving from it an
income of $400 to $500 monthly to the
time of his death, Baron Schlippen-
bach does not consider himself to
blame He denies that it was possible
to prevent newspaper references to
DeRaylan's former connection with
the consulate when she died In Ari-
zona and was found to be a woman.
Some investigation will probably be
made of suspected attempt to kid
nap the dead woman's son. Harry
George DeRaylan, last night. The
story as told by Anna Davidson, who
passed as DeRaylan's wife is that a
stranger called at her house late at
night, asked to see the boy and at
tempted to force an entrance to the
house when his request was refused
Miss Davidson's theory Is that the
visitor was an emissary of the boys
father. Report has it that the lad
is the offspring of a morganatic mar
riage in Russia between DeRaylan and
an aristocrat of the czar's court.

JACOBS TELLS
Of the Appalling Results
of the Strike in Mil
waukee.
BOTH SIDES ARE ARMED

Milwaukee, Dec. 23.-"In the midst
of our songs of peace and good will at
this Christmas time in Milwaukee, we
are disturbed by the harsh, dlscord-
ant sounds of war-industrial war
war to the knife, as one employer ex-
pressed it"
That was the startling introduction
of a powerful address on Christianity
and Strikes from the Standpoint of the
Public" by Rev. H H. Jacobs, the no
ted warden of the University Settle
ment tonight. Mr.. Jacobs spared no
words in his discussion of the appal-
ling conditions that have resulted from
the great strike of the iron molders
here.
More than 1000 men have been on
strike in this great industrial city
since the second day of last May" said
Rev. Jacobs. 1.-TWO hostile armies are
encamped in our very midst, one com
posed of twenty odd employers, the
other of the strikers, representing
5000 or more citizens of this city. Each
army has a complete secret service, "a
scheme of subsistence, scouts ana
pickets. Each has departments of plD
licity and suppression. An armed pri-
vate police force has patroled our
streets in vioaltion of law; strik-
ing molder has been shot down and
killed in our public streets, and cor
oner's jury coached by five of the
strongest legal firms in the city, has
brought in verdict exonerating the
picket who did the shooting. A United
States official, appointed by the presi-
dent, the apostle of the Square DEAL"
a bookman from our capital city and
wholly out of touch with conditions in,
a great industrial center has been
brought to our city and has handed
down reactionary decision that harks
back to the eighteenth century. A de-
cision that holds the strikers in con
tempt but which is better calculated to
bring all courts and judges into con-
tempt"

THE PANAMA CANAL.

On the 18th day OF January, bids viii

struction work ever undertaken; ds

greatest task of modern times. The
bids were to be opened on the 18th

srder that contractors might have an
opportunity to revise them under Ger
lain important changes in specifica
hons. The contractors thought it i'm,
perative that they should be protected
H wages should so up, and are willing
10 have their compensation reduced If
they go down. The act OF congress au
lhorizes the expenditure of $145,OOO,
300 on the canal. The international
board of consulting engineers figured

Some time ago the News had oc-
casion to quote one Of the leading
manufacturers of farming implement
machinery in this city in which he
stated that he was in favor of a re-
vision of the tariff so that raw ma
terial could be procured at living
prices, and that if such relief was
not forthcoming the days of the in
dependent manufacturer were num-
bered That the party in question
knew whereof he spoke is shown by
the press dispatches this week describ-
ing how the independent manufacture
srs of farm implements are endeay-
Oring to procure relief. One of the
dispatches says:
A bitter war which ultimately may
have far-reaching effects on the man
fuacturing interests of the country was
precipitated yesterday when a num-
Der OF farming machinery companies
openly declared their intention to
fight the steeel and iron trusts
Their first move was to draft a ne
tition appealing to President Roose-
Velt and congress to aid them In their
efforts to obtain just treatment at the
hands Of steel monopoly.
''The petition calls on the authori-
ties at Washington to curb the power
of the trust and to make some new
tariff provision which will break up
the injurious combine.
The declaration of war is the out
come of a quiet meeting of the heads
of the farming machinery concerns
which was held a few days ago in this
city.
1T was decided then that something
must be done to curb the powers of
the steel trust to save the smaller inn
plement makers from ruin. According
20 the petition, the prices of iron and
steel are so high at present that man
nfacturers of farming tools are un-
able 10 carry on their business with
profit
