That those who are guilty of pass
ing confederate bills and old bank
bills which are now being largely cir
culated in eastern oregon, may be
convicted and sent to the peniten-
tiary on a serious charge is the opin-
ion of District Attorney F. S. Ivan
hoe of the Union-W Wallowa county ju-
dlcial district who is in the city at
tending supreme court this week.
Recently Major Ivanhoe filed three
informations against a fellow who
had passed or attempted to pass sew
eral confederate bills in La Grande
and It is believed by the district at
torney that had his man not broken
Jail at La Grande, he could have sent
him to the penitentiary on one of the
three following charges which were
lodged against him, to-wit: First, for
passing counterfeit money; second,
for obtaining goods under false pre-
lenses, and third, for gross fraud un-
der the common law.
There is a wide difference of opin-
ion among attorneys and authori-
ties upon the subject, but the pre-
valence of the crime of passing these
old bills demands that the matter be
brought to a test and in Major Ivan
hoes opinion there should be con-
certed action to capture and convict
those guilty of circulating this form
of money.

VAUGHAN CHOSEN
FIRE CHIEF AGAIN
LIVELY CONTEST FOR PO-
SITION OF ASSISTANT CHIEF
Compliment Paid by Men in Their
Vote for Reelection of Vaughan
Lee Drake Elected First Assistant
Over Alex Manning-Pete Ander-
son Takes Position of Second As
sistant Without Contest - Mr..
Vaughan's Efficient Record.

BY re-electing John Vaughan az
fire chief last evening the Pendleton
firemen paid a high compliment to
the man who has headed the de
partment during the past two years
and also showed their endorsement
of the things he has been trying to
accomplish for the department.
The flremen's election was a quiet
one and the race for chief was an
easy one for Vaughan. His only
rival was A. D. Siebert, who re-
ceived a total of 13 votes, while So
were cast for the present chief.
For first assistant, Lee Drake was
elected over Alex Manning by vote
Of 36 to 29. The contest between
those men was of a very friendly
character.
Pete Anderson was the only cam
didate for second assistant and he
received 5S votes for that position.
While the total of 65 votes cast
by the firemen last evening does not
represent the entire strength of the
local department, 1t was a fair sized
vote, considering the fact that no
close fights were being made.
During his term as chief j. L.
Vaughan has always tried to increase
the efficiency of the department by
securing better fighting apparatus,
though thus far but little has been
accomplished along that line, owing
to the lack of funds. However, 1t
IS large to his efforts in behalf of
the department that his popularity
is due.

DIR. SMITH SEES LONDON FOG.
Pendleton Family Experiences One
OF the Genuine Fogs of England
Lamps Lighted at Noon.

In a copy Of the Pail Mall Gazette
which the East Oregonian has just
received from DR.. C. ]. Smith from
London, the following account OF a
genuine London fog is given:
Those who hoped to escape this
year without one of those November
days in London which for utter
cheerlessness cannot be beaten any
where, had a grievous disappointment
today, says the Gazette.
It was a morning of gloom. A
heavy high fog hung like a black
mantle over the city, and was ac-
companied by a never ceasing cold
drizzling rain. Shops and street
lamps had to be lighted by IL o'clock
and this example was followed by the
drivers of horse and motor vehicles.
By noon It was as dark and miserable
as any winters evening Afterwards
the conditions slightly improved.
1t may come as some consolation
to those who suffered the incon-
veniences of today to learn that the
month has not acted at all up to ira
dltlons In one respect.
: There has been more sunshine, less
rain. fog, and mists than for several
years past. Up to yesterday the to-
tai rainfall registered amounted to
only OH of an inch as compared
with about 2h inches for the cor
responding period last year. On the
whole, the rainfall is considerably
below the average in London, and
though there have been more days
on which rain has fallen, 1t has been

BODY Of JAPANESE
j., FOUND IN HARbOR

The dead body of Japanese carpen-
ter, Yoshioko Kikuji by name, was
found floating in the harbor in the vi
cinity of the new government wharf,
near the naval wharves, yesterday
morning. The body had evidently been
in the water for some days, being bad
ly decomposed and eaten by crabs. The
body was taken to the morgue and
Deputy Sheriff Jarrett notified.
A coroner's jury was summoned and
an inquest was begun last night. The
evidence of the brother of the deceased
was that he had been missing since
the morning of Saturday last, although
no alarm had been felt until Monday
evening, when the police had been no-
titled of the disappearance. Beyond
these facts. nothing touching on the
death of the man could be learned.
There was no evidence that he had
: been drunk and no reasons advanced as
10 how he might have fallen into the
water.
Under the circumstances, no verdict
was rendered last night, and an effort
win be made to trace the movements
of the man from the time he was last
seen by his brother until his falling
into the water. or as late as possible.

NEW LICENSE
FEES NOW DUE
(From Thursdays Advehtiser)

! (From Thursdays Advehuser)
Is it so, that the Asiatic man o.
business is better posted on legisla
ton affecting him than his Occidental
competitor? So it would seem indeed
from what Treasurer A. J. Campbell
is observing with regard to the new
business licenses prescribed by this
years Legislature.
"The Chinese and japanese are
piling up here with the new license
fees" Mr.. Campbell said yesterday,
''while the white business men who
are liable are coming up very slowly.
"'It would appear as If the white
men in the trades affected by the
amended business license law are not
aware of the new provisions of the
law, because there has not been the
same backwardness in paying the IL
cense fees imposed under the cid law.
During July 975 of the formerly exist
ing class of licenses were issued, for
the whole Territory that is, bringing
in nearly $4,000 of revenue.
''The office staff has been so busy
issuing new licenses that we have not
had time to get after the delinquents.
Yet all these new licenses will have
to be paid. Anyone liable for the fees
can be called into court under penal
summons. The penalty is the whole
amount of the fee, besides which the
fee itself has TO be paid"
Here is a list of the new license fees
prescribed in the law of 1907:
Barber's shop, no matter how many
chairs. SO.
Custom house brokers, $50.
Employment agencies, s25.
Fishing boats, $5.
Collection agencies, s25.
Merchandise brokers, 800.
Merchandise, S25.
Peddlers, $50.
Laundry, dyeing and (or) cleaning
works, $25.
There is a provision in the license
law requiring that licenses be exposed
in plain view in the places licensed.
This facilitates the rounding up of de
linquents. Sheriff Iaukea has men de
tailed now to see that licenses are
displayed according to law.

NEW YACHT
PLANS HERE
From thursdays Advehtiser.)


Bv the mail received yesterday OF
the steamer China the first plans ant
specifications for the yacht which viii
represent Hawaii in the transpaeifiC
race of 1905 were received. They
were accompanied by a letter from
Frank Tandy, the representative of the
designer Crowninshield. in which he
stated that he believed that the new
Yacht. TO be built from the plans which
were sent, would be the fastest OF
her type afoat. He stated that to
certain degree she was modelled after
the Tartar. the fastest and best known
fishing schooner which sails out Of
boston
The fishing schooners on the Atlantic
coast are far famed for their speed,
as the difference OF a few hours in
their arrival IN port may mean a diff
ference of hundreds of dollars in the
price which can be obtained for the
cargo of fsh on board. The Tartar
Is one of the latest types of schooner
and has beaten everything in her line
in that part of the country.
The sail and cabin sketches, accord
ing TO Ir. Tandy's letter, have been
forwarded but have not yet arrived.
A blueprint showing the midships sec
ton was enclosed in the letter, as
We're the general specifications for the
vessel
The new schooner win measure sixty
nine feet six inches on her deck line
and fifty-two feet on the waterline.
Her extreme beam will be seventeen
feet and her extreme length draft will
be ten feet She viii carry twenty
two tons of ballast OF which twelve
tons will be placed on her keel.
1t is planned to build the schooner,
with main timbers of oak. or of some
native wood of corresponding strength.
The keel, keelson, deck floors and
other like parts. viii probably be of
Oregon pine. The work on the yacht
will probably be started in the very

BURNED DOWN
cFrom Thursdays Advertiser,

| (From Thursdays Advehtiser)
A store building near the corner Of
Laniwai and Cooke street in Kakaako.
belonging to Jacintho Miguel. was de-
stroyed by fire early this morning.
In connection with the breaking out Of
the blaze those living in the neighbor-
hood tell of the bursting OF a bomb.
the noise and force of the explosion
being felt and heard for two blocks all
around. The building was destroyed
by the flames and small stock OF gro
ceries consumed.
The alarm was turned in at one
o'clock from box 81. and by the time
the fire department arrived the build
ing was all on fire within. The turn
ing on OF the water checked the flames
at once and the whole thing was over
within quarter of an hour. None of
the surrounding buildings were in
jured.
The building had been used as a
store by Miguel until the opening OF
his saloon some time ago, since which
time II has been used more as a store
house. The property has been insured.
but for what amount could not be
learned this morning from Mrs. Miguel.
She does not even know IL the policy
is in effect having been ready to re-
new 1t yesterday but putting Off the
payment until the return of her hus-
band. who has been away on a fishing
trip since early yesterday morning.
An examination after the fire showed
the presence of two kerosene oil tins
among the ruins and il may be that
the exploding of one of these was the
bomb referred to. the explosion of
which woke up those sleeping near the
place and resulted in the turning in OF
the alarm. The young boy who turned
in the alarm was awakened by the ex-
plosion and rushed to his mother with
the information that God had sent an
earthquake.
Miguel, the owner of the burned
building, is the man upon the arrest of
whom for selling liquor without a
license the test case against the new
license law is being fought.
