TRAINS LATE FIVE DAYS.
Court Officials Fail to Get an Early
Train for Hcppner junction This
Week,

Judge Henry j. Bean and District
Attorney G. w. Phelps of the sixth
judicial district, were in a highly
proper mood to give the railroad
commission some first hand testimony
today, on delayed trains, when for
the fifth consecutive time, No. fail
ed to make connections with the
Heppner train at Heppner junction.
They have been trying to get to
Heppner all week to hold a session of
district court, before the convening
of court in this city, but so far this
week No. 1 has been so late that the
Heppner connection has not been
made and they have waited from day
TO day in hopes of reaching the Nor
row county seat.
The exceedingly heavy travel has
been the cause OF much of the delay
to the main line train, but today the
baggage car was derailed at Mea-
cham, causing a delay of about two
hours and preventing the main line
train from connecting with the Hepp-
ner branch.

Little nliteracy In Oregon.

The standard of intelligence is
high in oregon. At the census of
1900 only 3.3 per cent of the total
population was illiterate, as compared
with 81 per cent in 1880, an improve
ment of nearly 215 per cent in 20
years. For over 20 years Oregon has
held the high honor of having the
most intelligent women in the Union.
The census of 1890 reported S.5 per
cent of illiterate among the female
population Of oregon and the census
of 1909 only 2.3 per cent.

An injunction has been issued up
on application of w. S. Byers, re-
straining the city of Pendleton from
removing or molesting the railroad
track which projects into Court street
at the Byers flour MILL This track
is about two feet higher than the
street level and in the grading and
macadamizing of the street would
necessarily have to be removed or
lowered to correspond with the sur
face of the street.
This afternoon City Attorney Nc
Court said that 1t is very probable
that the council will stand trial and
attempt to remove the railroad track,

The San Francisco News says that
Taft's aspirations for the presidential
chair will be confronted shortly with
an unexpected and formidable obsta-
Gle, entaiing the political enmity Of

stirred up friction with the army peo-
pie. Oregon veterans, 1t is reported,
will be against him.

with the political situation warm.
ing up day by day In Canton and the
immediate vicinity, much comment Is
heard upon the different expressions
of leaders In both the Republican and
Democratic parties In regard to the
interviews as published exclusively
In the columns of the News curing
the past week.
In speaking Of the local situation n
politician who has an opportunity or
feeling the political pulse, said
while the supporters OF Senator
Foraker are said to be few and some
what disappointed in the unfavorable
expressions concerning their candl-.
date, they continue to cling to their
; favorite with the hope that time
may yet remove the screen from the
eyes of his opponents and permit
them to look upon his candidacy with
favor.
"The supporters OF Taft for the
orea!dency are much In evidence In
Canton and Stark county. 1t Is, claim
ed ON all sides that he will have the
solid Ohio delegation with him at
the next Republican national conven-
tion. Taft's adherents in Canton
claim him to be the best qualified
man In the presidential race today
and look upon their favorite as the
proper man to step into Roosevelt's
shoes. Muscular, they say, and pos
sessed with sufficient determipation
to WELD the big stick as effectively
and with substantially the same re-
suits as his strenuous predecessor.
"while President Roosevelt has been
referred to by many Republicans In
Canton as their choice for the next
President. the fact that he Will really
decline the nomination IL rendered
him, is the view taken by prominent
politicians hereabouts. He has said
he will not be candidate for the
presidency and that should settle the
matter was the remark of q Can.
tonian we'll versed In politics.
"The Democrats, on the other hand,
'-'ipos. TO a man. favor Bryan as their
nominee. Many OF the Democrats In
Canton seem TO think that Bryan has
o favorable chance Of winning even as
against Roosevelt. The present con-
dltion OF the money market and the
fact, as they claim. that Roosevelt has
adopted the policies of Bryan IN his
efforts against the wrecking oonbina-
tlons In the country, form the basis
of their arguments. There is no doubt
of Bryan's success. 1t is claimed by
many Canton Democrats, IL the Re-
publIcans select Taft or Foraker as
their nominee"
