At meeting of the board of mana
gers of the Commercial association,
held last evening. the proposition of
aiding in the construction of the tele-
phone line from Ukiah to Long Creek
was endorsed. The matter was
brought to the attention of the board
by r. H. Wilcox, who stated that the
promoters of the enterprise wished to
raise $400 in Pendleton. The money,
he explained. would not be donated,
but used for the purchase of stock
which will later on pay dividends or
be worth its face should the holders
desire to sell.
To construct the line from Its pres
ent terminus at Dale to Long Creek
will require an expenditure OF $1,000.
The company has been incorporated
with a capital stock of $4,000, and
shares are now being sold. II the
people of Pendleton subscribe for $500
worth of stock the patrons of the line
living in the south end of this county
and In Grant agree to take the rest.
At the meeting last evening r. H.
Wilcox and G. NJ. Rice, cashier Of
the First National bank, were appoint
ed to handle the stock for the COM
pany here. and they have been engag-
ed today in raising the $400. At the

Pendleton is going to have real In
dians in the Fourth of July parade, II
the promise of a number of leading
Umatillas are sacredly kept.
Yesterday evening Joe Craig and
Captain Sumkin made arrangements
with the parade committee of the cell
ebration to bring in at least 10 or 12
Indians dressed in their best war
bonnets and most picturesque garb to
join in the procession and these Indi-
ans feel confident that they can in
duce their tribesmen to. take part as
promised.
In speaking of the matter Joe Craig
said that II the Indians come in to
take part in the parade, that 1t would
not be for the small sum OF money
which will be given for the service,
but 1t will be to express their friend
ship and appreciation to the business
men and citizens OF Pendleton.
'The Indians are part of this
community and while they do not de-
sire to perpetuate their warlike GUS
toms of the past, yet they are willing
to do anything they can to aid in
terest to your Fourth of July cele-
bration, and to show their friendship
for Pendleton." said Craig to the East
Oregonian today.
This feature of the parade will be
highly appreciated as there are a
number OF fine war suits among the
older Umatilla Indians and It is hoped
to have these worn by those taking
part.
Baker City has tried in vain to se-
cure a number of Indians for their
Fourth of July parade but so far have
failed and 1t has been thought all
along that Pendleton would be forced
to resort to her excellent Indian i'm
personators among her young men
who have been star attractions in
many past events.

LABOR MORE PLENTIFUL.
Because OF Closing Down OF the
Shingle Mills.

Jerry Stone, the well known Athe-
ma rancher, has been in the city since
yesterday, and he reports that farm
ing conditions in the Athena section
are now unusually favorable. Just
now, he says, is the critical period for
the wheat, and If the weather is right
for few weeks longer a bumper
crop will be harvested.
Mr.. Stone is Of the belief that men
for harvest work will be easier Sc
cured this year than last because of
the fact that many of the western
Washington shingle and saw mills
have closed down. Men for harvert
work are now said to be plentiful in
Walla Walla.

II is asked that congress legislate
appropriately with respect to school
lands in the reservations, so that each
state may receive its full quota of
iands or its equivalent for the pur-
pose for which they were originally

EXTREMISTS ARE
IN CONTROL OF
RUSSIAN PARTY
lRX Associated Press.O

LONDON, May 30-The congress OF
Russian social democrats which has
been in session in this city since May
10th, decided today to sever all re-
lations with the constitutional demo-
Gratis and other liberal parties in Rus
sia. Thus the extremists are again
in control of the party, which they
lost year ago. This determination
was reached after days OF wrangling
and impassioned discussion and con-
stant narrow divisions on the clauses
of the resolutions. The majorities
and the minorities both put forward
resolutions, but all attempts to reach
a common ground were unaVailing
The majorities, conscious of the
strength of their alliance where the
Poles and Let's refused all compro-
misses. The congress decided to con-
slider resolution of the maJor1tIes,
declaring that the constitutional
democrats had turned their backs up
on revolution; that they openly sup
ported the government in a plan to
bring about an anti-democratic con-
stitution based on property quallflca-
tions and that their aims do not go
beyond the constitution of a mon
archy safeguarded by police re-
gime, the two chambers system and
a standing army against the attacks
of the proletariat. Social democracy,
the resolution continues, must oppose
the extension of these parties or con-
stitutional illusions and must combat
the homegeny of petty middle class.
The resolution further declares that
it is necessary to wean the populist
and the toll parties from the influ-
ence of the liberals and compel them
to choose between the policy of the
constitutional democrats and the
black hundreds and that of the social
democrats, between which they still
hesitate. This was passed with many
of the delegates abstaining from Vot-
ing.
The congress is now discussing a
motion to call another partisan labor
con greSS.

MAYOR THREATENED
AS RESULT OF ARRESTS

BOISE, Idaho. May 81
Carl H. Duncan, the man who
was arrested on Tuesday as a
suspicious character at the in
stance of one of the socialist
writers In attendance on the
Haywood trial, appeared in po-
lice court this afternoon on the
charge of carrying concealed
weapons. He pleaded not gull
ty, declined an attorney and
conducted his own defense. The
evidence showed that he car
ried a revolver and dagger in
his satchel. His defense was
that he came to Boise expecting
to work on the ranch as a cat
tleman and it was customary to
carry the weapons. He was
sentenced to pay a fine of $1OO
or in default to go to Jail for
sixty days. He went to Jail.
One of the features of the
case has been the number of
threatening letters received by
the mayor since the arrest. Not
much attention is paid to them,
however, and none of the So
cialists in the city appeared in
court to espouse Duncan's
cause. All of them say that
he has no connection with the
socialist cause, although it is
known that he mas at different
times been connected with a
number of organizations.

IRON WORKERS
GREAT STRIKE
NOW SETTLED
FIRST RIFT APPEARS IN TROU-
BLED SAN FRANCISCO LABOR
SITUATION.
10000 MEN RESUME WORK
Agreement Reached and Peace Re-
Restored Through Mediation of
Public Organizations.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 31.-The
first rift in the series of strikes and
unsettled labor conditions, which
have overshadowed San Francisco for
many weeks, occurred today, when
the strike of 1 o, 200 iron workers was
amicably settled. The men went out
several weeks ago to enforce a de-
mand for an S-hour work day and an
increase in wages. This resulted In
closing the Union Iron Works, the
sutton Iron Works and all the foun-
daries, machine shops and iron
works, not only in San Francisco, but
in all the bay cities.
The settlement of the strike was
brought about by the active work OF
conciliation committee composed OF
delegates from the commercial Or
ganizations, the federated church,
civic league and the peace committee
of the labor council. The men re-
turn to their work upon the same
condition of hours and wages as pre-
vailed when they struck and which
shall remain in effect for 8 months.
The committee from the Metal
Trades association, representing the
employers, however, conceded that
commencing December 1, 1908, there
shall be a reduction of Is minutes In
the work day every six months until
an S-hour day is reached on June I,
1910, and which shall be in effect
thereafter,
While but 10000 men, comprising
28 unions, were actually on strike,
fully 100000, whose daily wage is es-
timated at $50, 200, were directly or
indirectly affected. AL shops, foun-
daries and iron works are expected
to be in full operation by the latter
part of next week.
The factors which brought about a
settlement were the threat of en-
ployers to import non-union labor, a
depleted treasury and the failure to
receive financial assistance from other
unions because of the many strikes
here and the concession of the foun-
dries and iron workers that after
three years an S-hour day shall be
granted.

Heavy Rainfall in Texas.

Houston, Texas, May 30. - The
rainfall in Houston and vicinity for
the twenty-four hours ending at Z
o'clock tonight has been four and a
quarter inches, to which can be added
an inch during Wednesday. This has
flooded the Houston ship canal, the
rise being about thirty feet, making
the highest record since 1879. The
stream is still rising. All shipping
and wholesale interests in Houston
along the stream are under water.
The street railway power house is
flooded and power is obtained from a
lighting company, but only one car
can be operated on each line. Two
hundred homes are under water.
These houses are occupied mostly
by poor people. The loss in Houston
will be over 100000.
Reports from along the Colorado
are that a heavy rise is coming down
that stream which will do a great
deal of damage to crops in the Colo
RADIO valley. Further west the San
Marcos and Guadeloupe are rising
steadily and will leave their banks al
lowland Points. Other south Texas
points report that county bridges
J have been washed out.

Proposed.

F. G. Baum, president and II. A.
Lennon, business manager OF the
California-Nevada Electric Power
arrived In Ely Thursday
night from Carson, making the trip
overland in a powerful automobile.
The trip was made for the purpose
of inspecting a proposed route for a
high transmission electric power line
which that company purposes to run
into Ely.
The company will develop 100000
horse power electrical energy at a
point near Carson City, where they
have recently secured ample water
rights and land holdings to make the
venture success, and will begin the
within a short time of
a line to Ely, by which they will be
to furnish $4,000 horse
power to the users of electrical en-
ergy in the camp.
They have made a preliminary ex-
animation of the local conditions of
IhO camp dhu ~ lS' MdJh u, 'iCe
president, and another directing en-
gineer of the company will arrive
within the next few days to go over
the local situation with greater
thoroughness. On their return to
Carson they will take another route
which has been proposed for the
line.
The company ultimately expects to
have two transmission lines ending
here capable of delivering an enor-
nous horse power to the camp. They
expect to deliver power here within
eighteen months.

MONSTER SEA
SERPENT IN
WALKER LAKE
Stories of Indian Heretofore I'm
credited Are Now Known to
BE ~ Fact.

Schurz, New, May Residents
of Schurz and other points near
Walker lake are very much wrought
up over the discovery of what Is sup
posed to be sea serpent or some
other prehistoric animal which has
been sporting in the waters of Wal
ker lake. The animal, fish or serpent
has been seen several times of late
by different prominent men and the
Indians residing on the shores of the
lake have always told of the exist
ence of the monster, but their
stories have never been credited un-
til lately.
Engineer J. e. Peters Is the latest
man to see the monster. He visited
the lake few days ago, and has the
following to say of the serpent:
II had heard several stories of the
serpent before l went to the lake,
but paid no attention to them. Last
night l saw it myself for at least ten
minutes. The body must be at least
six feet long and quite large. II
travels through the water at a ter
rife rate, and splashes the spray ur
on both sides of it. We were moi
close enough to see just what it was
like. 1t looked to have a large
square head and to be black in color
''The Indians are greatly in fear
of the monster and take to the hills
every time it appears"
The serpent is said to have lail
on the rocks on one side of the lake
and stays under water during the
day, and an effort will be made tt
capture 1t soon.

returns to his headquarters at Co
bre today.
The new coupon books which will
be issued by that road for the con-
venience of the employees of the
smelter company at McGill, promise
ito be popular with the men, because
of the marked reduction in the
charges for passenger fare between
Ely and McGill siding.
The old fare was $3.50 for the
round trip. The new coupon books
which will be issued will contain ten
round trip tickets, and will be sold
for $500 per book, making the fare
25 cents each way. These tickets
will be good going in either direction
on any passenger train.

CORNELL WINS BOAT RACE
THROUGH ENDURANCE

Ithaca, N. Y, May 31.-Cornells S
crew defeated Harvard by three-quar-
ters of length yesterday afternoon
in a thrilling two-mile race on Lake
Cayuga. The official time was: Cor
nell, 11:O1; Harvard, 11:O3 Zs =.
Three of the Harvard oarsmen, Falk-
ner, Severance and Bacon, were eX-
hausted at the finish. The race was
rowed in partial darkness. Harvard
took the lead at the pistol shot and
rowed rapid stroke, starting at
thirty-six and maintaining thirty
eight for considerable stretches. the
Crimson led for mile and hail'
part of the time by nearly length.
Then Cornell got on even terms, and
for an eighth of a mile the two
crews struggled gamely, but the ltha-
cans gradually pushed their shell In
front.
The last half mile was a series of
desperate spurts, in which Cornell S
superior powers of endurance won.
