QUEENS CONTEST
IS INTERESTING
NEW CANDIDATES FOR HONORS
WILL APPEAR BACKED BY
ENTHUSIASTIC FRIENDS.

While there was but one change in
the place of contestants yesterday in
the contest for queen of the Harvest
Festival, a heavy vote was pOlled and
the contests still continues exciting
Several new candidates are to appear
in the lists soon, according to decla-
rations of friends and they will be en-
tered with a large initial vote. The
contest as yet has not been fraught
with any exciting features but interest
is being taken and in a few days there
is promise of one of the most eX-
citing voting contests the city has
ever had.
Lodges and secret societies are soon
to enter their candidates and there
which believe they can pull down the
honor for their representative during
the last few days of the contest. Now
is the most critical time of the con-
tests and every vote cast now helps
to place a good founda ton for the
last effort in the final days of the con-
test The vote today and tomorrow
is expected to be heavy and the can
didate who stands at the head of the
list when the polling places are closed
will have to get hundreds of votes to
make the place. The vote this morn

PENDLETON HAS
No BOND BIDS
LOCAL CAPITALISTS WILL TAKE
ISSUE AND IMPROVEMENTS
WILL BE CONTINUED.

PENDLETON, Or, Aug. 30.-The
new city bond issue of $147000 has
gone begging in the eastern money
market. The last meeting of the city
council was the time set for the OPEN
ing of the bids for the bonds, but when
the hour arrived it was found, to the
temporary dismay of the cOuncilmeL,
that not d single bid had been re-
ceived. The bonds run for 20 years
and bear interest at the rate of five
per cent. and the city leaders thought
they would be quickly taken up.
Much CONSERVATION was felt for fear
that some of the improvements al
ready under way would have to be
stopped, and that a Lew city Jail, levee
improvements, sewer extension and
macadamized streets were only a
beautiful dream. However, when the
local banks We're consulted it was then
learned that local financiers would
take up the issue and that the $147.-
900 worth of bonds looked ike a smyl
matter in the eyes of the $4.000,0O0
wheat crop of this year. While the
bonds have not yet been disposed Of
it is understood that they will be
taken up by local capital

WILL Be TRIED
Justice Court Asked TO test
Probate Law

The prosecution of Louis GrosSmil-
ler for selling liquor to Henry Lau-
fer, whose name is on the probate list
developed a tangle such as is seldom
seen in police court.
The question of the constitutionality
of the law covering the probating of
habitual drunkards was in question
and the case was postponed until
Tuesday when a brief On the matter
will be read to the court. This law
has been upon the statute books for
the past 80 odd years, claims the
prosecution, represented by Deputy
Prosecuting Attorney Mcdonald. The
discussion of it's cOnstitutionality he
says, is absurd, especially so in po-
lice court. He told the court that il.
all his experience he had not heard
such a question raised in a justice
court.
Certainly it stirred up a hornets
nest in court this afternoon
The testimony produced by the
prosecution was of highly damaging
nature and nothing was offered to re-
flute the same by the defense.
The most damaging was that offered
by Hen Laufer who said he not only
bought liquor in Grossmillers place of
business whenever he chose, but also
that there is room above Grossmil-
ler's saloon where he could buy WhiS
key and other bottled goods on Sunday.

SERVICE
Misunderstood
PEOPLE OPPOSED TO POLICY OF
ADMINISTRATION HAVE BEEN
MISINFORMED.

Opposition has met us at nearly
ring of the forest service today. I'VE
have met with the bitterest oppOsi-
ton. Almost organized, this Opposi-
ton seems to be, but l thiLk it rel
suits from ignorance rather than from
malice Most people think that as
soon as a forest is labeled reserved it
is forbidden them to settle or go on
the land for any other purpose. Moth
ing could be further from the inten-
ton or desires of the department. We
pectors We are doing all we can 20
get the land settled and think it is to
the advantage of the country to do So.
"A great deal of money has been
spent by the department, and more is
! to be expended. The appropriations
for this purpose are for the three
states of the northwest; Washington,
$37000 Oregon, $4,000; Idaho. $780,
000. This comes from the fund of
$500, 900 granted by congress for per-
manent improvement in the forest SER

1T is the policy of the forest se1t-
vice to cOOperated with counties towns
and individuals in the construction of

of the public, which will in any way
facilitate the work of the department

of telephone lines $500 miles of trails,
200 miles of wagon road and 500 cab

our forests, for the good of the people.
Not only are We offering induce
ments for the people to settle on the
| land which some imagine is closed
to settlement but all these above i'm
| prOvements are added for comfort on
the raLges. The trouble lies in mis-
| understanding the law. 1t would be
| obviously wrong for a settler to be
| allowed to take up a claim for agri-
cultural purpose Wnlcn ndQ lnllllou
! feet of lumber on it. The forester
must examine the land and if it is
! worth more for agricultural purposes
than for anything else, he may have
il for such purposes. But the depart
ment viii not allow a man to cut down
a fortune in choice timber under the
euise of farming, then to have the
| claim deserted. But there is no oppo-
sition to, but father encoura cement
for, the settler who really wants a
farm and settles on it in compliance
with the law"

If the weather next summer is as

Walla Walla will be known as one Of
the greatest summer resorts in the
west. This year the weather was so
cool many of the people who usually
take advantage of the more temperate
weather at the coast, 1gund the eli

and consequently the annual exodus
to the coast has been much smaller

BETTER SERVICE
FOR PORTLAND
New Train May be Put on to
Make Better Connections

According to reports in railroad
circles there is soon to be a change
il. the time of the Pendleton- Spokane
trains, known as Nos. I and s.
The cause for the change is the
new train to be put on from Salt Lake

tenn in the near future. Some time
ago the Oregon Short Line pat on Il

where their line ends. 1t was ex-
pected at that time that the @. r. x N.
company would put on a connecting
train from that point to Portland. The
train was not put on, however. and
passengers were made to lay over at
the division end for several hours
awaiting the regular Overland train
from the Union Pacific. A great kick
was raised by the travelling public
and it is thought the O. r. & N. COM
pany was planning as soon as possible
to put on the new train. Lick Of
equipment seems to have become the
trouble and there appears to be lit
tie doubt but that the new train WI
be put on.
The change will be a great benefit
to Walla Walla. The Overland trains
are nearly always late and run so ir-
regularly that there is no certainty
as to the time of their arrival. The
time is nearly always lost. however.

and O.. r. & n. tracks. With a local
train from Salt Lake to Portland, this
would all be remedied and trains
would be dependable.
The train would pass through Pend

would make direct connections there
for this city and Spokane, making
the time of arrival here about 9:45.
instead of 1856 as is now the case.
This, too. would be a great help TO
the city, as people aloLg the line be

the same night. Although no time for

D. D. Birks Has Confidence in His

d. d. Birks of the Spokane Lead

Mr.. Birks speaks enthusiastically of
the Metaline country. That it is rich
in lead ore. he says says, has been

other properties. Whether or not the

established shortly by work which his

workings, consisting of 26 tons. aver
aged 73 per cent lead, which he says
assures him of the value of the surface
ore.
In speaking of the work of the Spo-
kane Lead mines, Mr.. Birks said:
THE deep tunnel which the company
is driving and which will tap the ore
at q depth Of 500 feet is no win $50
feet. 1t is being driven underneath
the orebody which is % feet wide

concentrator and viii install complete
plant We hope to have the super
structure up and the building rooted
in before winter weather sets in. We
have commenced work on tramWay
from the mine to the mill and have
the grade ready for laying the ties.
''The completion of the long tunnel
will settle the long disputed question
as to whether the ore of this district
runs deep. If such is the case, it will
certainly be equal to any lead mining
district on the continent. We believe
the ore will be found at depth. How
ever, our work will establish that
point one way or the other"
