and throughout Europe the movement
manifests itself in various forms.
1t must be difficult to overestimate
the strategic advantage of this reform,
for since every bill must receive the
sanction of the senate, as we'll as of the
house of representatives, before it be-
comes a law, no important legislation
Of a national character Is possible until
the senate is brought into harmony

A still more far-reaching remedy
was proposed by the Democratic plat
form of 1900. namely, the requiring of
corporations to take out a federal IL

F. F. Wamsley, formerly o. r. &

freight agent for the same company,
in eastern Washington district. was in
the city last night in the interest of
the company. He has been in the
general freight offices in Portland
since leaving here two years ago, and
recently accepted the position of trav-
cling freight agent in the territory
mentioned. He says most all of the
light land in eastern Washington
which was considered unfit for wheat
few years ago, is now being farmed
successfully.

Use Sinking Fund Money.
This morning 1t was learned from
members Of the council that the
money with which to pay for the
johnson property will be taken from
the levee sinking fund. There Is now
about $4,000 idle money in that fund,
and as 1t will have to be used year
from next July, 1t is impossible to
make satisfactory mortgage loan of
the amount. Consequently the fund
can he drawn upon in making the
deal for the city hall site.
Were II not possible to do this the
councilmen say the deal would not be
made, as otherwise 1t would interfere
with street paving. 1t is the purpose
to keep the $4,000 possible warrant
Indebtedness for use in street work.

Also the council is now negotiating
sale of the city Jail site. 1t is hoped

dynamite of the buildings in its path,
are still sweeping through the city.
The number of dead is estimated
at 1000. while 1000 are injured. 1t
is utterly impossible to estimate the
property loss, as the conflagaration is
spreading. Thousands Of people are
homeless. Many are huddled in parks
and public squares, beside what few
household goods they were able to
save.
The city is under martial law. All
downtown streets are patrolled by
cavalry and infantry. Details of troops
are guarding the banks.
Most of the principal buildings have
already been destroyed and others are
in imminent danger.
Destruction Is General.
Reports from cities near San Fran
cisco now show the destruction Is
general.
Santa Rosa is in flames. The dam
age there is now over s1,000,000. The
loss of life is not as yet known.

900, but no loss Of life is reported.
At Vallejo the damage is slight

HORSE SHOW is POSSIBLE.
Suggested to Take Place on Decoration
Day.

Shall Pendleton have a horse show
on May so, Decoration day? Since
the recent meeting Of the Business
Mems association, at which it was de-
cided to take full holiday on that
date, there has been considerable
talk concerning horse parade for
the occasion. Many of the horseown-
ers Of the city and country have been
approached on the subject and they
have been found unanimous in favor
of the idea.
Since the fine showing made in
the horse parade several years ago,
many have wished for a repetition of
the same. There are many fine horses
in the city and country, and splen-
did showing could be made.
At present the matter is in an en-
bryo form, but should the matter
meet with favor definite steps will
soon be taken to arrange for the
show.

Good Play Last Nieht.

"The Inside Track" story of the
civil war, was well presented at the
opera house last night by Eckhardt's
Ideals, who have made themselves
strong favorites during their stay in
Pendleton, The play was one that
appealed to the large audience, some
elegant costumes were displayed and
the dramatic interest well sustained
throughout. The comedy element was
breezy and refreshing, and the work
of the entire company good. Tonight
the beautiful new five-act southern
comedy drama, Virginia" will be the
attraction. This is said to be the star
play in the Eckhardt's repertoire.

Was Secured.

Harvey L. Cutter, a young man OF
the Cold Springs country, was brought
to town early this forenoon suffering
from a dislocated arm caused by be-
ing bucked from a horse about b
o'clock this morning. According to
Cutter he was riding an ordinary farm
horse and was rounding up some other
horses when his horse suddenly COM
menced to buck and threw him. He
struck on his left shoulder, and his
left arm was dislocated at the elbow,
making a painful injury.
1t is 25 miles to the city from where
Cutter was working and although he
was at once placed i'm a buggy and

They were wool lambs, and according
to Mr.. Hunter he secured them at
practically the same prices he would
have to pay here. He will sell them
in the Buffalo market later in the
spring.
According TO Mr.. Hunter lambs are
now down in the Omaha and Chicago
markets, because Of the large number
that have been shipped there. How
ever, he says sheep are still bringing
good prices.
