later by the Johnson orchestra. The

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB IS BOOMING

Already 27 applications for mem
bership In the Commercial association
have been filed with Librarian Nye
and they furnish a good start in the
campaign for new members that is
to be waged.
All of the applications filed thus
far have been secured by individual
members and no concerted work has
yet been taken up by the member
ship committee. Owing to the holi-
day rush now on and the fact that
some members, of the committee are
away from town, the committee may
not get into united action until after
the holidays But in the meantime
the different members and others are
securing all the applications possible.
The following is a list of the appli-
cations thus far received: Herbert

Darrow Pictures Inhuman

HOPES TO MAKE JURY
DIsBELIEvE TESTIMONY
States Witness Bearing Up Well
Under Terrible Cross Examination
-Borah and Darrow Exchange
Hot Words-Borah Has Chip on
Shoulder All Day and Tries to Pick
QuarreI-Adams VIII Not BE Used
as Witness.

Boise, Dec 14.-"Darrow is trying
to get me angry, but he cannot do 1t.
He cannot do 1t, for l am telling the
truth" said Harry Orchard to his
guards yesterday as he left the court
room after being under cross fire for
two hours.
Darrow's method is more exactlng
that than of Richardson in the Hay
wood trial. He is not shaking Orch
ard in the slightest but is picturing
the worst side of the state witness,
He is trying to make the jury hate
and therefore disbelieve him. Senator
Borah stated last night that it is not
the intention TO use Adams as a wit
ness in the Pettibone case and he
will not be brought to Boise.
Orchard is bearing up well under
the fire of Darrow's cross-examina-
ton today. Darrow and Borah ex-
changed hot words because Of Borah's
interruptions in the examination.
Borah had a chip on his shoulder
and was in a fighting mood all day.
The greater part Of the examination
related to the Bradley affair.

Goldfields, Dec. 14.-Today a large
delegation of women from this city,
headed by the Women's club, called
upon General Funston and requested
that troops be left stationed here for
the protection of the homes and lives
Of the people.
Intense bitterness exists and Cen
eral Funston finds that conditions are
even worse than reported to him at
San Francisco. The citizens are
alarmed and serious trouble is ex-
pected.
General Funston received the dele
cation Of women and listened to their
plea for troops, but made no definite
promise. He will give the situation
thorough investigation before de-
Gliding what is absolutely necessary.
The mineowners have withdrawn
the wage scale put in effect and dur
ing the next 10 days will perfect a
scale which II is hoped will meet with
the approval of the American FEEDER
alton Of Labor.
With the understanding that a new
wage scale is being perfected the mi
ners returned to work in large num-
bers today.
The condition at this place is said
by men who are familiar with the
matter to be much worse than it was
in the Occur d'Alenes at the time of
the trouble there few years ago, and
as far reaching and serious results
are expected to follow, no matter
what the settlement may be.

MANY |NG|ANS
WERE CONVERTED
NEZ PIERCE EVANGELIST
ON TWO MONTHS TOUR.
Rev. James Hays of Kamiah, Idaho,
Finds Tribesmen I'm Oregon, Idaho
and Nevada Ready to Embrace Re-
iigion---AIany Indian Converts Made
Among BannOcl1s, Piutes and Other
Tribes.

Religious revivals are not wholly
confined to white people. one of the
most successful evangelical tours ever
made in the northwest has just been
completed by Rev. James Hays. a
full-blood Nez Perce Indian of Kam-
iah, Idaho.
He is in the city today on his re-
turn home after a two months trip
through eastern Oregon, southern
Idaho and northern Nevada in which
he visited a number of Indian tribes
and in which he converted a large
number of his people to Christianity.
Rev. Hays is we'll known in this
preach at the Tutuilla Presbyterian
mission on the Umatilla reservation
tomorrow.
In his trip through Idaho, Nevada
and Oregon he has visited the Ban
mock Indians at Fort Hail. Idaho, the
Duck valley tribe in northern Nevada,
the Plutes in Nevada and Oregon,
and a small tribe of Shemutah, Ne
vada, the Shivetts in southern Idaho,
and several other scattering tribes
in other places.
In all of these tribes he found
many Indians ready to embrace Chris
tianity and left we'll organized
churches to continue the work he
has started.
He believes that 1t is only a ques-
ton of a few years until the majority
Of the tribes in Oregon, Idaho, Wash
ington and Nevada will have been
Christianized and placed above the
need of government aid. Large
numbers of all the tribes are now
and are able to con-
duct their own business with but lit
tie help from the Indian agents.

NO COMPROMISE.
Little Walla Walla Wa1er Suit VIII
Be Pushed 70 Completion.


From Milton a story has gone forth
that the famous Little Walla Walla
water suit Is to be settled by a COM
promise, but this is denied by the
lawyers who are retained in the case.
According to 7. G HALEY, attorney
for the Peacock mill, the only agree
ment that has been reached is that
with the town of Milton whereby the
town Is granted the right TO sufficient
water to fill l6-inch pipe fitted
with a three-foot head. This Is
something, so says Mr.. Hailey, that
had really been conceded to the town
all the time and the agreement does
not affect the remainder of the
parties to any extent.
January has been set as a date
for the hearing of further testimony
in the water suit

WHEAT PRICES LOWER.
Some Buyers Not Taking Orders Now
Cause OF Slump.

Once more the local wheat market
has taken a slump, though all indi-
cations are that 1t is temporary af-
fair. From the opening price OF 10
cents for club the local quotation
has dropped to 81 and some Of the
Pendleton buyers state today that
they are out OF the market entirely
just now.
Just why the present slump occur
red Is not known, but It is attributed
to the fact that the grain companies
wish to go cautiously until they see
what effect the suspension Of the hol-
idays will have on the financial sim-
alton in the northwest.

printed in red ink yesterday, cordial
ly invited Pendleton and Umatilla

cursion and says of the preparations
for the event there:

rejoicing in Pilot Rock and vicinity,
the occasion being the installation of

Central AT least 900 citizens of Ben
dleton will join with Pilot Rock in
returning thanks to Mr. Hartman
for his thOnghtfulness in tapping one
of the richest sections of the OregOr
country.
On such an occasion ii becomes
necessary for the best paper in Pilot
Rock to become eminently metropoli-
tan In appearance, for the time, IL
not continuously. and for this rea-
son no apology may ne made for its
sanguinary or lemoD-hued appear
ance two days In advance of the
great event which will immortal!ze
the names of the builders of the
Umatilla Central.
The Record does not wish to ap-
pear bloodthirsty but simply red.
and II the attempt is not strictly up
tO-date, 1t will be the fault of the
old Washington hand press and not
the devils" because he has been in
structed to lay on unsparipgly with
a heavy brush the carmine.
Preparations on a grand scale have
been made to entertain the Pendleton
guests. The biggest hall IN the city |
has been rented and dozen or more |

Despite the fact that there are a

particularly favorable for shoppers
within the past few days. the lner-
chants of Wilmington generally are
not complaining Of the business. condi-

The spirit Of "buy at home" has evil
IDENTIFY pcrvaded the purchasers. as the
railroad companies have not done the
business between this city and Phila-
delphia, as they have done In former
years, and the falling off of traffic has
been particularly noticeable since the
holiday season began.

Mercantile Association. in speaking OF
shopping at home said this morningl
"The efforts of the Mercantile Associa-
ton to keep the trade In Wilmington
has been most suG6essful. and the

been more people who bought in VIII
mington this year than there has been
