CHURCH VOTES THANKS.
Congregation of the First Christian
Church Expresses Gratitude.

Congregation of the First Christian
Church Expresses Gratitude.
Resolutions were passed last night
at the First Christian church to eX-
press gratitude to Evangelist Allen
Wilson. who has so faithfully worked
in this community for the upbuilding
of the cause of Christ. Resolutions
were extended to the newspapers of
Pendleton, who have extended such
courtesy as are usually given by the
public press. In this particular the
Tribune and East oregonian have
been exceedingly liberal.
The official board moreover, desires
to thank the public in general for
every influence exercised to make a
success of this meeting possible, and
to thank also the religious neighbors
and their friends for anything con-
tributed to encourage the work of the
church.
1t is the aim and purpose of the
First Christian church to work for the
reformation of Nny tendency for the
elevation of mankind, and to show
spirit of liberality toward all, with
out envy and prejudice.
The new minister who will soon ar
rive is regarded as a man of excel
lent education and generous disposi
ton, endeavoring to keep the unity il
bond of peace. Signed
OFFICIAL BOARD,
| OF First Christian Church.

BILL MAY NOT PASS
NEW FEDERAL DISTRICT
is DOUBTFUL
While Congressman Ellis Is Urging
Pendleton as Headquarters it Is
Very Probable That the Opposition
of Cannon and Others Will Kill all
Federal District Bills at This Ses-
sion.

That Congressman w. r. Ellis Of
this city, is doing everything possible
in justice to the eastern Oregon dis
trict, to have the headquarters of the
proposed federal court located in PEN
dleton, is shown by the following
special dispatch from the Washing
ton correspondent of the Spokesman
Review to that paper:
Congressman Ellis of Oregon, ap.
peared before the committee on ju-
dietary in an effort to have Pendle-
ton substituted for Baker City as seat
OF the federal court provided for in
Senator Fufton's bill. Congressman
Ellis has kilograms and letters from
Pendleton and Heppner urging that
Pendletop originates much more bus
mess than Baker City. Outside opin-
ion is general that the house will not
pass this bill or any other calling for
appropriation of any money other
than for regular expenses"
Bill May Not Pass.
However. there is a grave doubt
oOOut thN Popoo6S VI any ACuCIdl ulS-
trict bill for eastern Oregon at this
session Of congress is shown by the
following later dispatch from Wash
ington to the Oregon Daily Journal:
There is very little hope for the
bill creating a new federal court for
eastern Oregon. Ellis has taken the
matter up with the committee of the
house at the request OF Heppner and
Pendleton people. Senator Fulton
originally urged the measure on be-
half of Baker City. Speaker Cannon
and Chairman Tawney of the commit
tee on ways and means have given it
out that no money will be approprl-
ated on any bill that demands large
expense.
THE same ruling will probably ap-
ply to the appropriation Of s750,000
for the Seattle exposition. Cannon
has ordered the bill transferred from
the regular committee and the i'm
preston has gone forth that 1t will
be hammered into retirement"
Since there are about 10 bills Gre
ating new federal districts and all
carrying large appropriations, now
before congress- it Is the general
opinion of the Washington correspon-
dents and newspapers that none Of
them will become laws at this ses-
sion.

Would the people Of Pendleton like
to see a genuine comic opera played
by local people. That they would Is
believed by the members Of the gym
nasium committee and 1t is planned
to give such a performance for the
annual entertainment by the Com
merclal Association.
To give an entertainment has been
fully decided by the committee, Of
which Mark Moorhouse is now chair
man, and during the past few weeks
many things have been considered.
In order to make the program as
different as possible from past per-
formances II is the intention to Sc
cure the rights for some suitable opera
and several plays are now being in
vestigated.
In producing a comic opera the
musicians Of the city will be asked
to bear the burden OF the work and
those who have thus far been con-
suited have expressed a readiness to
help. The splendid success Of the
Queen Esther cantata two years ago
fully demonstrated that local singers
are capable of handling big musical
performance.
The Oregon theater has been en-
gagged for the night OF March 20 for
the entertainment. But 1t is feared
the play cannot be gotten in readi-
ness by that time. and in that event
a later date will be asked for.
In order to meet the running ex-
penses OF the gymnasium 1t has beer
found necessary to give an entertain
ment each year and all past efforts
have been most successful financially
and otherwise Last year the per-
formance was managed by j. r. Ra-
ley, then chairman of the committee
and the sum OF $500 was cleared. II
is hoped to do equally as well or bet,
ter this year.
Should the plans for the comic
opera be carried out the enterta n
ment will be one that cannot bu
make a hit and It should receive
patronage such as has never beer
given before,

SAVE MONEY ON FUEL.
Government Takes a Tip From the
President With Good Result

President With Good Result.
As the result of a suggestion made
last March by President Roosevelt,
looking toward a more uniform basis
In the purchase Of fuel for govern
ment use, there has already been a
saving of several thousand dollars
through the delivery of a better
quality of coal. says a Washington
dispatch.
In many of the government build
ings in Washington coal is now be-
ing purchased on contracts which
specify definitely the heating value
of the coal and the percentage OF ASH
It contains Under such a contract
government officials say, the consum-
er gets what he pays for and pays
for what he gets.
When the government first indicat-
ed its wish to purchase fuel under
such a contract. there was some dis
satisfaction among the coal dealers
but this has cleared away, 1t is said
for the dealer, while penalized for
furnishing coal below the standards
set in the specifications, Is given a
premium whenever the coal analyzes
above the requirements. Quite a
number of premiums have been paid
which is satisfactory to the govern
ment, for in each instance the super
ior quality of the coal delivered has
proven an absolute economy over the
old, haphazard method of purchase
The importance of>this problem is
seen in the fact that the government
each year pays nearly s6,SOO'OOO Tor
fuel

game will be played here between the
high school and the team from the

their own floor.
After the game tomorrow night

team. The general public rs invited

Probably the most marked eH-

in the new convention hall, a magni-
fcent structure which has been erect
ed in the heart of the city at cost
of 100000. 1t is a permanent build

convention and it is even now in read

So nicely was the work on the hall
calculated that the building has just
ben completed. Indeed, if necessary
the big melting could begin tomorrow.
Nothing remains but to string a few
strips of bunting across the band
