Walla River.

A water filing providing 1875 cubic
inches per SECOND Of time for the use
OF the Washington Light &
Power company, and made by L. S.
Isaacs, promoter of the company, was
filed for record this morning with
Recorder Hendley.
The paper Is of special interest in
that it makes public the location Of
the power plant for tnat company,
which will be built on the north bank
of the Walla Walla river about seven
miles below the mouth of Skiphhort-
on creek, at which place the water
right location is made.
According to the plan as announc-
ed in the filing Mr.. Isaacs or his as
signs propose to carry the water from
the mouth of the Skiphorton on the
south branch of the Walla Walla in
to the power plant, a distance of
seven miles 10y means of a 4S-inch
flume To be known as the pipe line
of the Oregon Washington Light &
Power company, There it is propos-
ed to transform the water into cleo
tricty to furnish power for the pro-
posed interurban and light and pow
er to Walla Walla, Pendleton and
other cities.

As regards to power being too ex-
pensive, it is a grave mistake, as elec-

with, for nearly one-half less than
steam, and better results also are OBJ

This from experience, A working

Great Demand for Products.
At no time in my history of these

of the Pendleton goods, simply be-
cause we could not turn them out fast
enough. There is always demand
for these goods. I have been be-
seiged with orders every since the
mills closed.
The mills can be made permanent

San Francisco. Oct 9.-Opposition
tc the government forestry policy was
defeated in the Mississippi con-

former Governor Pardee of California,
who has been lobbying against the
various resolutions criticising Chief
Forester Pinchot. In the session of
the resolutions committee, Pardee
won against all Of PinchO, oppon-
ents.
Frank Short, attorney for the Hunt
ington power interests, amended the
resolution, making it harmless.
The original resolution provided for
the control of all waterways, in and
out Of the national forests by the
states in which they are located and
a perpetual granting of those water
rights to any corporation applying
The resolution met a speedy defeat
under the hammering of Pardee.
Short withdrew all parts of the res
olution providing for the giving away
of the water rights and as it now
stands the resolution means nothing
The law compelling corporations
and individuals owning land in the
forest regions of the west to adopt
a fire fighting system similar to that
of the government in its national for
ests was recommended i'm a resolution
by Lewis Il. Aubury. Pardee in a
strong speech favored it, declaring
the destruction of many million dol
lars worth Of national wealth by fires,
traced in almost every instance TO a
fire started on privately owned
land.
Resolutions calling for a larger
fleet in the Pacific ocean and for gov

best interests of the schools and the
school children demanded that the

least. be maintained.
one special feature which lead to
the decision was a remonstrance
signed by some 80 residents of Free

boundary change as outlined. There
was no other way to divide the dis

Freewater was shown to have fully
one-third of the children Of the dis

BUSINESS MEN MEET To DISCUSS RETENTION Of .N00LEN MILL

Tn order to take up the subject of
retaining the woolen mill in this city
President r. Alexander of the Com
merclal association, called a meeting
of the board of managers for $3.50
this afternoon.
At this hour the meeting Is now on
at the association rooms and the va
rious problems in connection with the
mill are being discussed.
The association managers were
called together at their own request
a half dozen or more of the members
having personally asked President
Alexander to call the meeting. How
ever many others were also invited
to attend. as II is the desire to enlist
as many as possible in the movement.
Shepherd Is Enthusiastic.
The following public communica-
tion upon the subject OF the woolen
mill was submitted to the East Ore
gonian this morning by C. A. Shep-
hard, former superintendent of the
mill.
Editor East Oregonian:-I enthu-
siastically endorse the sentiments Of
our business men relative to the re-
tention of the woolen mills. The sem
timents expressed should be sustained
by every resident interested in the
splendid future of Pendleton, be-

CONTEMPLATED.
CHRISTIANS MAY BUILD
HANDSOME STRUCTURE
Present Plans Provide for Erection of
Modern House of Worship on One
of Most slightly Locations i'm the
City-Offer Made by W. F. Mat
Lock viii BE Passed Upon Sunday
by Local Congregation.

II a plan now before the Christian
church people of this city is carried
out handsome stone church will be
erected on the Matlock tract just
across the Main street bridge.
Should the new church be located
on the Matlock site it will be a most
valuable addition to the architecture
of the city because the church will
be in a highly conspicuous place.
Aside from this the building of the
church at that location would pro.
vide a house of worship for the north
side. something that is now lacking
in that fine residence portion of the
city.
Ever since the old Christian church
burned down in August the church
people have been devising plans for
rebuilding. From the start many have
favored securing a new location and
seemingly the sentiment is now almost
unanimous.
An offer of the north side building
site has already been made to the
church people by w. F, Matlock and
this coming Sunday the matter will
be finally decided by the people of
the congregation.
The proposed new building site has
a frontage of So feet on Main street
and it extends a distance of $50 feet
down the river. Thus it will be seen
that the tract is large enough for
church purposes and also for a par
Should the location be Sc
lected a parsonage will probable be

plant go, and 1t is because of their
business in the east and here with the
securing plant that they have not al
lowed the wooden mill the proper con-
sideration. The mills have done much
to advertise the county and many are
benefited by having them in opera
ton. From S5 to 40 hands are en-
ployed, a $4,000 pay roll is distrib-
uted among us, and in addition to
this, moneys for raw material sup

ried out. I will render all aid pos

per year can be made out of the plant

witness Bannister.
Tom Whitney, the Theil detective.
Bannister, who accompanied him to
act as witness in the transactions up
on which the prosecution is based.
and Mr.. Qulnlan, were the states only
witnesses.
Whitney told of purchasing what
he declared to be a mixture OF ice,
whiskey and ginger ale at "Billy and
Dicks" on September IL, and declar-
ed that he had purchased the same
concoction on other occasions.
He was positive as to the whiskey
being included in the mixture and
testified that after drinking several
similar "highballs" in various resorts
along the street he was under the in
fluence of liquor to an appreciable
extent. Bannister's evidence was
corroboratory.
The defense will attack the char
acter of the evidence and 1t Is un-
derstood will attempt to show that the
detective and his fellow worker were
not wise sufficiently to pass upon the
question of whether there was liquor
in the concoction.
The case will be followed by State
