Experienced Men Here to In
terest Merchants in Plan to-,
Observe Regular Days
PLAN HAS BEEN Sue
CESS IN OTHER CITIES.
Commercial Association and MeP-
chants May Adopt Scheme-SaIes
Would Include Cattle, Horses,
Hogs, Sheep. Poultry, Produce and
Other PrOducts-WouId Attract
Immense CrOwds-PendIeton Well
Located for Central Market.

There is every prospect that Pen
dleton will establish, a regular
monthly market day to be observed
every month in the year. Three ex-
perienced market day promoters, w.
Irish, NJ. M. Gillen and S. ]. Small.
of Mandan, S. D., are in the city to
day trying to make arrangements
with the Commercial association and
local merchants for such events and
1t is probable that the plan will be
successful.
The plan Of the promoters is to
have the local business men set aside
a regular sales day every month in
which livestock of all kinds cattle,
horses, hogs, sheep, poultry, farm
produce and other property may be
sold at public auction in the city. BY
wide advertising these events would
bring prominent stockmen here from
all parts Of the northwest and they
could be made prominent and profit
able from a business standpoint.
AS business proposition such
events would be highly commendable
and the business men Of the city look
upon the plan with much favor. It
would serve to bring together the
buyer and the seller and would es--
tablish fixed dates on which all kinds
of saleable stuff could be auctioned
at good advantage.
In the east these sales days have
been established with excellent re-
suits and every event brings immense
crowds to the towns holding the
sales. Pendleton has been selected
by the promoters of the plan because
of its location in an excellent farm
ing and livestock community where
people constantly buy and sell all
kinds of farm produce and livestock.
1t is believed that the sales could
be established here with an equal de-
gree of success which has attended
them in the east and every effort win
be made to interest Pendleton and
Umatilla county people in the
scheme.

Portland, Dec. 2S.-State Biologist
Ralph Matson, who, with his broth
er DIR. Ray Matson, has been conduct
ing a series OF Investigations into the
bubonic plague situation In Portland,
declared today that Portland and the
Oregon coast towns generally were
apparently absolutely free from any
taint of the dreaded As attic disease.
"I have been examining rats daily -
said DR.. Matson, "since our 1abora-
tory was installed and az yet have
not found any traces OF 'bubonic
plague among the rodents.
1.-THE bubonlc plague Is primarily
rat disease. Before 1t reaches the
rats human neighbors It has rgener-
ally ragged as an epidemic among a
rat colony and killed them "off by
thousands.
"In Chinese cities. where modern
methods OF sanitation have not been
undertaken the approach "bf the
disease is generally fOreshadowed by
heaps of dead rats In rubbish holes
a'>"rhe flea Is fs merely NV middle
man, the distributor as II wei e, of the
disease.
II don't believe the Pacific coast
VIII ever be entirely free from dan
ger of the plague until stringent
methods are taken to clean up
everywhere, IN the Chinese, -Hindoo
and Japanese colonies.
Perhaps 1t is only by exclusion
that this can be done II so ,exclu
sion would not be too high a price.
We can not be too sensitive in our
attitude toward any danger of sepl-
femic of the plague.
"Asiatic quarters that are common
N every city on the coast. are sink
holes of corruption. Dark. wet un-

An infected rat jumps from a

U. S. District Attorney if
He Would Accept
FRIENDS ARE URGING
HIS CANDIDACY.
Endorsement OF the Oregon Delega-
ton Is Assured If Fee Would Take
The Placc-Name Prominently
Mentioned In Portland Papers, But
Retiring Mayor Declines to Con-
sider the Job-AttOrney McCOurt
Would Accept the Office.

That the vacancy in the United
States district attorneys office for
Oregon which will be caused by the
failure of w. c. Bristol to secure a
reappointment. may be filled by a
Pendleton man, is now sincerely
hoped by Pendleton attorneys and
every effort is being made to have
Mayor James A. Fee become a can
didate for the position.
The name OF Mayor Fee has been
prominently mentioned for the place
several times in Portland papers and
last evening the oregon Daily Jour
nal again mentioned that Pendletons
retiring mayor was n most favorable
candidate IL he would accept the Of
flee. but Mayor Fee declared to the
East Oregonian today that he Is not
a candidate for the place.
Should Mayor Fees friends prevail
upon him to stand for the nomina-
ton. there is every prospect that hc
could secure the Endorsement OF ,th'
Oregon delegation for the position
and his appointment In that case
would be assured. but so Tar he has
declined to allow his name to be
considered among the candidates.
That Mayor Fee would make an
excellent prosecutor for the state OF
Oregon is the opinion 2f oe eyer Yer would c,,I
ney VINO mas Immediate favor of the
the suojeSltgatlon is also assured.
IheeIS~eVer, he declares that he Is
not a candidate and unless pressure
is brought to bear by his many
friends in this city and county and
throughout eastern Oregon, his name
will perhaps not be considered in the
list OF candidates.
II is understood that City Attor-
ney John McCourt is candidate for
the place, in case that Judge Fee is
not a candidate and Mr.. McCourt's
friends will urge his case with the |
Oregon delegation provided Judge
Fee absolutely refuses to consider the
appointment
Mr. McCourt is one of the most |
popular young attorneys in eastern
Oregon And would be highly accept
able.
