UNION PACIFIC NEEDS MEN.
Car Shops at Cheyenne Are Short
About 5000 Men.

Cheyenne, July 11.-This morning
Charles Flnlayson, foreman of the big
car shops OF the Union Pacific shop
plan here, went to Denver where he
will make an effort to secure 100 ad-
dltional men to be employed by the
company at this point.
In spite of the fact that fully 500
men are now employed in the Chey-
eiihe shops, nearly 300 more than were
employed a year ago, the necessity
for men is so great that the company
has adopted the plan of sending the
shop foremen to other cities in order
to obtain mechanics and laborers to
handle the vast amount of work now
being done here.
Fully 80 car repairers can secure
employment. in Cheyenne at high
wages and a similar number Of men
is required, employed as coal beavers,
in the yards where the company will
store over 10000 tons of coal during
the next few weeks.

From 1oOO-Milc Trim

George Bachant and Guy Clark,
who left here a month ago to take
trip through Harney county in
search of land to homestead, return
ed home late last night after having
made over 1900 miles by wagon in
the interior Of Oregon. They went
as far south as Nevada. going into
that state almost to Winnemucca.
They saw large amount of vacant
land in Harney county, but were not
favorably impressed with It and are
content to remain in Umatilla coun-
ty. Much of the way was over des-
crt where water was scarce and dust
and sagebrush plentiful. Once they
drove over 40 miles without water
and in many cases found the water so
badly imprngnated with algali that
their horses would not drink It.

Boise, July 1.-THE defense was
jubilant when court reconvened, over
the showing of Meyer on the witness
stand yesterday. That he made an
impression is conceded, but the states
attorneys hope to get some admissions
from him.
Cross-examination began soon after
court convened, being preceded by an
attempt on the part OF the defense to
get before the jurors a letter written
by John Murphy, senior counsel for
the federation, directing that John
Nugent be engaged to defend the in
terests Of the organization, following
the Steunenberg killing.
Extracts from the federation con-
stitution and ritual were also read by
Darrow, they tending to indicate the
defense's contention the organizations
purposes are in no way criminal.
On cross-examination Meyer said
he became president in 1902.
He lived in Deadwood during 1899,
during the Coeur d'Alene troubles.
The only information he had was OBJ
tanned through the newspapers. He
knew Steunenberg was governor.
Later he became familiar with the at
titude of the Coeur d'Alene miners
toward Steunenberg.
He first became acquainted with
Simpkins in 1903. He had no talk
with him about the troubles in Idaho
to any extent.
Meyer explained at length the meth
cd whereby the federation engaged
attorneys to defend members who get
arrested. The federation is today
defending Steve Adams, he explained.
because his arrest grew out of the
Steunenberg affair.

members whenever an arrest is made
in connection with the trouble grow

board. after he was reelected presi-

ington and Oregon.
He met Adams first during the !
Cripple Creek troubles, but was never |
intimate with him.
Meyer first met Pettibone in Dem
yer in 1900, and Easterly in 1901 in |
Cripple Creek. Neither ever talked |
with him about Orchard. Orchard was /
first introduced to him by delegates
to the convention in Denver in Janu- /
ary, 1904. In March of that year he
went to Cripple Creek for the train
case. There he met Or |
chard daily and became well acquaint- |
ed with him. On March 20 he ar
ranged to take Orchard with him to |
Ouray, as he needed him as a guard. !
During the trip they discussed Or
chard's life history. He was sure Or
chard did not make any threats !
against Steunenberg, but told him of
having to leave the Coeur d'Alene
country, which cost him a fortune.
After being arrested he did not gee |

NEW WHEAT CONTRACTED At 75 CENTS

Several small crops of new wheat
In the east end of Umatilla county

There is very little old wheat left
in the county and the last sale to

The city of Pendleton now owns a
site for a city hall, 90x100 feet in size
at the corner Of Cottonwood and Alta
streets, where the city hall and Jail
authorized by the recent special elec-
ton will be erected soon, at cost Of
$4,000.
At the council meeting held last
night the inside lot, 50x90 feet in size
adjoining the corner lot at the corner
of Cottonwood and Alta streets owned
by the city, was purchased from H. F.
Johnson for $500, making the city
tract 90xl00 feet, costing a total of
s10,sOO. The corner lot purchased
year ago from Mr.. Johnson cost the
city $4,000.
It is the intention Of the council to
proceed with the erection of the hall
as soon as practical, although no
plans have yet been adopted and no
definite arrangements for beginning
work have been made,
However, a general outline of the
building has been discussed and 1t is
the intention of the council to erect
an Imposing city hafl two stories in
height with a large council chamber
perhaps 40x9O feet in size on the
second floor and ample office room
on the first floor.
A large city Jail and ample room
for the fire apparatus will be set aside
on the lower floor and it is the inten-
ton of the council to beautify the
graund surrounding the building to
give it a distinctive appearance and
make 1t attractive to the eye.

Iroduced by City Attorney McCourt at
The council meeting last evening and
The same was referred to the ordi-

ofthe council next week it is thought.
The ordinance was prepared to con-
'orm to the state law upon the sugges-
ion of Mayor Fee and the subject
will be thoroughly discussed by the
council when it comes up for passage.
There is wide divergence of opin-
on on the subject of a Sunday clos
