HARVARD MEN COMING.
To Win Traditional Gold Secrets
From Indians.

Lewiston, July 21.-Herbert Joseph
Spinder, assistant professor of an
thropology in Harvard university. in
| company with r. r. Hellman, Har-
ward medical student, will leave
Boston in a few days for Idaho,
, wneIc they will study the language
and customs of the Nez Perce Indi-
ans.
Their ultimate destination is the
Lapwai reservation, in Idaho, but
they will travel from tribe to tribe,
states ore report In company fifth
DR.. Dixon, Mr.. Spinder few years
ago visited the cliff dwellers and
other Indians on the Pacific coast.
They will spend a part of the time
dressed in the costume of these once
savage roamers of the prairies.
The Neg Perces have been the most
difficult tribe for anthropologists to
study on account of their shy man
ner, and their traditions from time
immemorial are carefully cherished
by them and little information can
be gained from them.
There are traditions that the chiefs
of the tribe are aware of the loca-
ton of immense deposits of gold in
the western country, more notably
among the alkali deserts of Colorado
end Idaho, but the work of years and
ca jolery of men have been unable to
wrest their secret from them. 1t is
the hope of being able to get an inkl-
ing of the location of these deposits
that spurs the explorers to their re-
searches, and IL they are unsuccessful
in their endeavors this time they will
try the thing again another season.
1t is by going among the tribe and
dressing and living like them that
Mr.. Spinder and Mr.. Hellman hope
to break down the spirit of reserve
and ultimately win the confidence of
this almost unknown remnant of the
aborigines.

COAL FAMINE
IS PROBABLE
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
ARE WARNING THE PUBLIC
President of the Northern Pacific,
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and Secretaries Garfield and
Taft Recognize the Urgency of the
Situation and Advise Early Pur-
chase of. Winter Fuel.

Washington, June 21.-Strenuous
measures have been adopted by the
government and by the railroads to
avert fuel famine in the west and
mort t,wcst. which is thought to be
impending next winter. Howard Ell
lott, president of the Northern Pa
cific, recently wired to Commissioner
Lane of the Interstate Commerce
commission, suggesting the proba-
blity Of a fuel famine in the west
and northwest next winter that
might exceed in its serious possibili.
ties the famine of last winter. He
advised that every effort be made
by the commission to induce consum-
ers to lay in supplies of coal during
the summer months. pending the
movement of the crops in the early
autumn.
Commissioner Lane Immediately
took up the matter with Secretaries
Garfield and Taft. urging that coal
supplies at all depots of the govern
ment be Put in at as early date as
possible. The subject was considered
at the last meeting of the cabinet
held before President Roosevelt left
Washington, and 1t was decided that
the suggestion be adopted.
Secretary Garfield wrote to Com
missioner Lane, in response to a let
ter which the commissioner had
written him on the subject, his let
ter containing this paragraph:
II beg to acknowledge your letter
cf June I, with the inclosure from
tie president of the Northern Pa
oific. His suggestion regarding fuel
is an admirable one. and should be
acted on by the department"
Commissioner Lane has received
f:om b, 7. Staunton. chairman of the
railroad commission of Montana, a
circular which the commission has is
sued respecting an investigation into
the subject of the coal supply now
in sight and to be available for the
use of citizens Of Montana during the
winter months of 1907 and 1908. The
inquiry shows that a coal shortage
exceeding that of the past winter Ia
not only possible, but probable, n
less steps are taken to avert It, and
the commission advises the people
to put IN their supplies of coal at
the earliest possible date.

made of more general interest.
The board has already ordered the
admission tickets for the coming fair.
and a requisition has been made upon
the state printer for the supplies that

BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR DISTRICT FAIR

That the district fair this year will
be even more successful than last is
indicated by the interest that is being
taken. Though the Aoard has thus
far done only preliminary work to-
wards arranging foi the fair, Presi-
dent Cohen is authority for the state
ment that already more inquiries have
been received from intending exhibit
ors than were gotten altogether last
year. This augurs well for good
agricultural and horticultural display,
and shows also that the fair is regard
ed as being worthy of patronage.
Frank Frazier, one of the members
Of the board, is now at work upon the
premium list for this year, and II will
be considerably different from what
1t was last season. In general. more
inducements are to be offered for the
display of stock having no particular
pedigrees. BY such a course It is

With the opening of the theatrical
season now but a few months off
and no actual steps taken towards ar
ranging for a theater for Pendleton,
city will have to do without the pleas
ures OF the opera this winter. Though
much has been said regarding the
need Of new theater, and the de-
mand for the same is universal, no
new playhouse is being erected, and
seemingly there is no one willing to
build a theater as a personal invest
mment. Such being the case the only
hope of a modern theater lies in the
formation OF a stock company.
Would Iscmodel Frazer.
OF the various stock company
plans advanced, one advocated by
Leon Cohen seems the most practi-
cal and definite at this time, Mr..
Cohen suggests the formation Of a
local stock company for the pur-
chase and femodeling of the present
Frazer theater. By purchasing the
present property for, say 100000, and
larging and remodeling the theater,
he believes the entire property could
be placed upon a paying basis. He
would have the theater enlarged by
being extended over the SO by 100
foot lot in the rear of the building.
II would then be sufficiently large
for the needs of the city, and by be-
ing rcfurnished and supplied with
proper exits 1t could be made into a
first class playhouse. 1t would have
the advantage Of being well located,
and would also be the only theater
in the city; whereas, should a new
opera house be built there might be
danger of competition from the Fra
zer.
The locations on the lower floor
Of the building could be rented as
at present.
In order to carry out such a prop
company would have to be formed
and lunches of stock taken by those
able to do so. Thirty or 40 firms or
individuals taking $1,000 in stock
each, would provide the necessary
money and Mr.. Cohen intimates that
the Peoples Warehouse would gladly
be In the throng.
Unless some such a move as the
above is soon started there is little
likelihood of Pendleton seeing any
plays the coming season other than
the attractions at the Star vaudeville
theater, or the tent attractions such
as the two now coming. At present
the old Frazer is condemned, both
by the fire chief and by public Opin-
ion. and II is doubtful II 1t can be
used again without extensive inn
provements. While there is no the
ater ordinance now in force one can
be easily passed, and after the stand
taken last spring the council will
hardly allow the playhouse to be re-
opened without changes.
City's Name At Stake.
Should there be no theater here
during the season the loss to the city
would be great, both directly and in
directly. The theater furnished one
of the chief sources of amusement
during the winter and brought many
country people to the city, while the
theatrical troupes themselves mean
much business, especially to the ho-
tells. Aside from this direct loss 1t is
generally felt that without a theater
the good name of Pendleton as a
progressive town would be sadly
tarnished, and that the city would
lose In inestimable ways.

Il. W. Putnam Declares Himself IN
FaUOr of Restoring the Game.

The agitation for the resumption of football at

day when Albert w. Putnam. chairman of the uni
versity committee on athletics declared himself in
favor OF restoring only nterclass but inteTcOl
legiate football Mr Putnam has succeeded Fran
els ). Bangs graduate director of athletics at
Columbia In a statement in The Columbia Spec
tat0r" Mr.. Putnam says:
The reports OF the alumni students and univer-
sity committees on the football question pTacti-
cally unanimous in favor OF the resumption OF in
tramuraI football a series Of tnteTclass games
would fall into this category. and l. of course
would be glad to see the games begun. Interclass
games are Of course. all right, but ] personally
believe that intercollegiate football is desirable.
There who say that the number OF
available undergraduates at Columbia is compare
lively small and they argue from that that three
major sports IL all that can handle. Personal
ly. ! do not agree with them. We We're just be-
ginning TO get things organized when football was
abolished two years ago. The football association
had paid off "A heavy debt and had succeeded in
establishing itself on firm financial footing.
Mr.. Putnam also stated his views on the question
of eligibility, saying: Although the rules will un-
doubtedy reduce the eligibility list. and cOnse-
quently hurt the teams, yet in the end they will
prevent students from carrying entrance condi-
tons throughout their four years at college and at
the same time will not be a drawback To those who
