East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-09-25

Today the state board of health has
been in quarterly session here and the
presence of seven of the most noted
physicians of the state have lent a
medical air to the city today. Aside
from the members of the board of
health Dr. H. w. Coe of Portland, al
so came with the party today, having
been invited to attend the fair.
The sessions of the health board
have been held in the office of DR..
c. j. Smith, in the Smith-Crawford
building, and it is thought all the
business of the session will be COM
pleted by this evening.
One of the most important propo-
sitions left with the board recently
has been the task of drafting some
sanitary rules for the railroad COM
panies of the state. At the instance
of the state railroad commission this
matter was taken up at the last meet
ing of the board and the matter NAV
be finished today in which case the
rules will be submitted to the rail-
way commission.
Soon after the arrival of the health
board this morning an official COM
munication was received from Secre-
tary Fitz Gerald of the fair commits
sion requesting that the board furnish
one of their number to act as judge
at the baby show this afternoon.
OF those upon the board Dr. R. c.
Yenny, secretary, is the only married
man and he was at once slated for
the honor. Though he showed much
hesitancy in taking the case" his
associates believe that with the gen.
erous coaching they have given him
he will serve with credit.
The following members of the
board have been present at the ses-
sion today: DR.. E. B. Pickle of Med
ford, president of the board; DIR. R. C.
Yenny of Portland, secretary; DIR.
Andrew c. Smith of Portland; DR.. AL
fred Kinney of Astoria; DR.. E. A.
Pierce, DR., W, B, Morse and DR.. C. J..
Smith Of this city.

DIR. n. G. BLALOCK Sc
CURES SUBSTANTIAL AID
Funds Are Rapidly Accommodating for
Line of Packets on the Columbia
and Snake Rivers-People of East
ern Washington Heartily Respond
to the Efforts OF the Open River
Association.

Tireless and unyielding still, after
80 years. service in the cause of an
open river for the inland empire, DR..
N. G. Blalock of Walla Walla, has
just achieved another triumph for the
Open River association.
The walla walla Bulletin says of
his recent success in securing funds
for the enlargement of the Column
bia and Snake river boat line:
DR.. N. G. Blalock returned this
morning from Pasco and Kennewick,
in the interest of the open river pro-
ject and he returned In excellent
spirits over the success with which
his efforts are meeting.
Already about $4,000 in stock sub
scriptions Of the Open River associa-
ton, which intends to start Hne of
packets between Portland and Ken
newick, have been received, which
leaves but $4,000 to be subscribed and
assures the success of the project.
At both Kennewick and Pasco the
| efforts of DR.. Blalock met with in
slant response. At Pasco last night
within an hour after his address be-
fore the Commercial club, subscrip-
tions to the amount Of $2500 had
been subscribed. The sum of $500
was raised In a similar manner at
Kennewick Saturday night. Walla
walla business men have subscribed
$4,000 and 1t Is thought that It will
be easy to secure the additional $2,-
900 necessary.
October 0, the date Of the annual
meeting of the Open River associa-
tion at The Dalles, has also been
chosen for the maiden trip of the
Norma, the boat which is to run be-
tween Kennewick and The Dalles AL
though the Norma is not a passen-
ger boat, It Is thought that 1t will be
possible to secure the consent of the
authorities to carry the delegates to
the meeting on that date and the oc-
caslon will be one of great rejoicing

FINED FOR CARRYING GUN.
Albert Weatherford of lone Raised
Disturbance in Noodle Joint.

Disturbance I'm Noodle Joint.
For having displayed a gun very
carelessly in Goey's noodle restaurant
last night Albert Weatherford of
lone, was fined $25 by Judge Fitz
Gerald this morning. That he was
not involved in deeper trouble is
probably due to the good judgment
of a young relative who was with
him at the time and succeeded in
getting the gun from him.
According to the story as told the
two young men were in the noodle
joint last evening and in some man
ner the wild and woody instincts of
Weatherford became aroused. He
drew an automatic pistol from his
pocket and was preparing to shoot
some of the Chinese fans from the
ceiling when the gun was captured
| by his partner.
In the police court this morning
weatherford pleaded guilty to carry
ing a concealed weapon and when
the s25 fine was imposed paid the
same.
Goey Was Considerate.
When Goey, the Chinese merchant,
rushed forth last night to summon
!! the police to arrest Weatherford he
created much amusement through a
recommendation he made to Mar
shall Tom Gurdane. Goey found the
chief in the front of the Henneman
cigar store and rushing UP said:
Somebody be killed quick sure in
go in first. Man has gun TO shoot"
However, the marshal did not
think it would be good ethics for him
to require his night man to "go in
first" so we went to the scene him.
self, where he had no trouble in
handling the case.

Came With
Big Chain
For Clarke
FURNIss NOW TRYING
TO SECURE PASSAGE ON TRANS.
PORT-FINDs FRIEND HERE.

Sheriff Furniss of Hastings, Michigan
is a good fellow and a man who goes
prepared for whatever may occur. He
came out here to take the Rev. w. D.
Clarke home for forgery and (ask him
if you don't believe it), he brought
along a big chain with which to secure
his prisoner.
Furniss had no idea of the nature of
the man he has come for and he took
nothing for granted. TIo is armed and
his armament includes a chain that
would hold dozen bull dogs; with
the chain a couple of handouts, brace
let's, make a showing calculated to
touch the heart of almost any prayer
full crook
Furniss has found a friend here in
the person of Congressman Hamilton of
Michigan and he is endeavoring, with
the assistance of this friend, to secure
passage to the coast for himself and
his prisoner aboard the U. S. transport
Sherman. The Sherman will be SO
much handler than the S. S. Sierra,
for the transport has brig" or jail
and this will be just the thing in which
to accommodate Clarke and the chain
from Michigan.
Clarke has been talking to Furniss
about the cells in the Michigan jails.
He wants to know if they are as COM
Portable as those provided in Iaukea's
Inn. Evidently the erstwhile psalm
singer is anticipating a considerable
stay behind bars. Furniss has as
sured him that the authorities will see
that he is provided with a safe resting |
place.

THE evangelical
SESSION YESTERDAY
DISCUSSED THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
PROBLEM DECLARED IN FAVOR
OF UNCONVENTIONAL UNION.

The Hawaiian Evangelical Associa-
ton held it's sessions as usual yesterday
PRECEDENT A. F. Griffith of Oahu College,
spoke of the Sunday school Rev. r. A.
Baldwin of Kohala and NJ. p. Nakuina
also spoke on the same subject.
1t was decided at the afternoon ses-
sion to send a letter to the National
Council strongly endorsing the COM
bination of the Methodist Protestant,
United Brethren and Congregational
denominations. This matter was dis
cussed.
The record of advance in missionary
contributions by churches was then
considered.
A petition from the HALL church in
Hilo asked that the association meet at
Hilo in 1908 received favorable action.
The example of Kauai in it's careful
supervision over church deacons and
the elimination of unworthy men from
that position, was approved.
An invitation from the Kilohana Art
League to attend the exhibit of paint
ings, was accepted.
The Association participated in the
memorial day exercises today, so only
the prayer meetings at 6:15 a. m. and
8 to $3.50 a. m. were held.
