Baker City and Pendletm Boys In
Trial OF Skill and Srength-Teams
Well Matched for Big Game-Pen-
dletOn Averages Heavler-Big and
Enthusiastic Meeting Last Night
Lineup for Big Contest Today.

With the stores closed and the
entire town upon the sidelines, the
annual football game between Baker
City and Pendleton high schools is
being played this afternoon. 1t is a
game over which more spirit is be-
ing shown than was ever manifested
before since the local high school be-
gan to play the game.
The teams are well matched and
both sides are confident of victory.
though neither side has INDUCED in
ante-game score-making. Both
teams have been coached in the open
game now being played and the fact
that the game will be played along
new lines has helped to draw the
crowd to the Matlock grounds.
In weight, the Pendleton team
averages six pounds heavier than the
Baker opponents, though neither
team is really heavy. Baker, PEN
deltons fullback and captain, is the
heaviest man on the team, pulling
the beam down to III, while the
heaviest man on the Baker City eleven
is Taylor, right guard, who weighs
154.
According to the figures given last
evening by the Baker City team, their
players average 147 pounds, while
the Pendleton boys average 1853.
However, it has since been admitted
by the visitors that they placed their
estimates low, so that it is known
that the teams are more evenly
matched than the figures indicate.

HIS POSITION ON STREET WORK

the other members of the street COM
mittee and of the entire council with
the exception of the mayor and
Councilman Murphy, who favored
macadam or asphalt for the business
streets.
After the council decided upon
standard paving for Main and Court
streets the work itself and also the
actions and recommendation of the
street committee were hampered by
every possible insinuation, technical
ity of law, sarcasm, quibble and hair
splitting that could be brought to
bear by the mayor and his right
hand bower, Councilman Murphy.

Tor the Council.


While It is still too early to tell
definitely what the aldermanic tick
ct will be. It looks like T. G. Mont
gomery Will run alone from the Sec
ond ward. Several days ago peti-
ton asking for the nomination of
DIR. r. W. Vincent was circulated, but
Il is now understood that the doctor
does not wish to run.
In the first ward the race is SEEM
ingly between A. L. Knight and c.
w. Brownfield. Petitions for both
these men have been circulated and
no other candidates being mentioned
the people of the east end will be al
lowed to take their choice of the two
men.
In the third ward V. Stroble is an
avowed candidate, his petition hav-
ing been filed this morning. Efforts
val candidate. but thus far no one
has qualified. Clarence Penland, C.,
r. Colesworthy and others are among
those most frequently mentioned
However, neither seems anxious to
acquire municipal honors.
More complicated is the situation
In the fourth ward and who the can
didates will be from that ward is still
a matter of conjecture. Council
man Swearingen has been strongly
urged 10 run again and may vet do
so. Arthur Gibson is also said to be
a candidate, while A. c. Koeppen is
also frequently mentioned. Assessor
C. p. Strain has also been strongly
urged to run by his neighbors Of the
south hill Mr.. Strain does not wish
to run, but has told his friends to
find some other acceptable man.
Should Mr.. Swearingen be a candidate
he will not enter the race.
Two Treasurers.
Two candidates for city treasurer
are now in the field, T. J. Tweedy,
whose petition was circulated several
days ago, and Harry c. Thompson,
who has just been brought into the

Tomorrow Is the last day for the
filing of nominating petitions for the
coming city election and much quiet
work is now being done towards
bringing out candidates. The situation
at present discloses q remarkable
lack of opposition for many Of the
offices and from all appearances
many OF those upon the ticket Will
have to pace against time.
For mayor there is now but one
avowed candidate and his name is
Murphy. During the past few weeks
numerous rivals have been suggested
for the north side councilman, but
those proposed have all shown a
strong disinclination to go upon the
track. There is now seemingly no
opposition to Mr.. Murphy, or II there
is II is not sufficiently strong to bring
out an opposing candidate.
Water Commissioners.
For water commission only three
entries are so far announced for the
three positions to be filled. VIII
Moore, ]. T. Brown and T. C. Taylor
are the men who now seem fated to
assist with the work of the water
commission. All three gentlemen
have announced publicly that they
will run, provided they are wanted,
which seemingly they are. Mr..
Moore has been advocated for water
commissioner for n week or more, as
has also Mr.. Brown, though the lat
ter did not say until this morning that
he would allow his name upon the
ticket. Mr.. Taylor was Induced yes

RAILROAD ACCOUNTS.
Uniform System Promulgated 6y
Commerce Commission.

Washington. June 15.-Under the proNiaioiiS
Of the act passed at the last session OF Congress-
the Interstate Commerce ComFAission to-day
rrop7ulgated a uniform system Of accounts
which must be followed by railroads. II VIII 20
into effect on July l. and after that time month-
" reports must be filed by the railroads me
system was prepared by Henry c. Adams stat
,sticisn of the commission who has deVoC-o
rnanv months 10 the work.
Four Of the accounts are issued under formal
order of the commission, under the headS %
operating revenues. operating eSrenses- eXpeh-
ditures for road and equipment a;'c locomotive
car and train miles. Two OF the ciasslhca'iohS
which hear on operation are issued in tho form
Of circulars Of acknowledgements. better
n7ents and additions and outside operations
Formal depreciation charges are set up in
onerating expenses for all classes Of equip
n,ent. The purpose Of these depreciation charges
IS that the cost of a particular month or a par
t;e,lar year shall be assigned to the earnings Of
that month or that year. and thus enable cor
rect statement of net revenue from operations
The definition Of betterments and additions will
also result in keeping the cost Of Improvements
out Of operating expenses. and. therefore. of eN-
Guiding them from the cost Of performing cur
rent business
Another feature Of the new classification IT
operating expenses is that the expense OF solicit
fng traffic is separated from the expense of haul
ing the traffic
The construction accounts are 50 drawn that
when a physical valuation is made Of railroad
property the additions and hctterments from
year to year can be added = such valuation.
thus keeping a current record Of the physical
value Of railway property.
The revenues accounts are so drawn TO
enable the examiners Of the commission easily
70 check the amounts stated as earnings in order
that there should be excluded from earnings all
fnproper payments OF all sorts
All OF these classifications nave been worked
out with the assistance and cooperation Of the
railroad accounting officers Every carrier has
been Informed from time TO time of the progress
Of the work, and question has been decided
without first requesting of every carrier its
views and suggestions. This has been done by
a series Of circulars. and thousands of letters
have been received in response 10 them AS
sistance has been rendered by committees rep
resenting the American Railway Association.
which Is the presidents and managers associa-
lion, and the Freight Claim Association.
The significant feature is that the accounting
officer of each carrier IS made personally re-
sponsible for ne application Of the rules OF ac-
counting promulgated by The commission. This
is regarded by the commission the most i'm
portant step that the federal government has
ever undertaken IT, the development Of admin
lScratiye supervision over Quasi-public busi-
ness like that of the railroad.
