miners, scientists and national and
state officials, all here for the meet
ing Of the American Mining congress
Thursday afternoon participated In
the formal dedication Of the federal
governments laboratory and testing
station recently established in this
city. A series OF tests in an arti-
hcial mine, In which conditions Of
real mines are reproduced, SO far as
possible, showing the results from
various explosives and from 80 called
safety agencies was the most inter.
esting feature Of the ceremony.
Secretary of the Interior James r.
Garfield officiated and there were ad-
dresses by John Mitchell. former head
OF the miners organization, and by
operators and others.
Thursdays tests were made at the
artificial mine. The first test was
with safety powder, dry fire clay and
bituminous coal dust, the latter placed
on shelves representing lodges in real
mines. The powder was ignited for
the blast and did not explode the dust.
Tire was a terrific explosion dur.
Ing the fourth test, when IL pounds
Of black powder and 20 pounds Of road
dust (actual mine dust), were used.
The recoil was strong and the flames
covered the full length OF the artif. |
cial mine. The test proved the com. |
bination to be exceedingly dangerous.
At this point experts Of the station
appeared wearing the Draeger oxy.
gen apparatus, including metal and
glass hoods, chemical chamber and air
bag, designed to render breathing
normal or nearly so while the oper.
ator is surrounded by the most deadly
gases and vapors. The men hurried
into the gallery still filled with the
fumes Of the explosion and apparently
were not affected by any Of the gases

FAMOUS CHEF is DEAD.
Tlan Tech, Alaskan Leader, Succumbs
to Consumption,

Tlan Tech, one Of the most famous
Indian chiefs OF southeastern Alaska,
Is no more, says a Sitka item. He
died only recently as a result of the
ravages of tuberculosis, which Is rap
idly thinning out the ranks of the ma
tives of the northland. In recognition
of his prominence, Tlan Tech re-
ceived one of the largest funerals
ever held in this city.
AS a fitting token to the departed
chief the United States marines sta
toned here, fired a salute Of six guns
when his demise was announced.
Tlan Tech belonged to the Russian
Greek church and Bishop Innocent,
who presides over the Alaskan do
cese, was in charge of the funeral
service. 1t was attended by 500
whites and natives. The chief was
rs years old and leaves a widow and
one daughter.
When the white people first came
to Alaska and attempted to teach the
Indians how to do things according to
their civilization, Tlan Tech refused
to participate. 1t Is recorded that he
threw stones at former Governor j.
G.. Bradley of Alaska. when he was
instructing the natives to build roads
In front OF their ranches. The gover-
nor labored patiently and finally won
over the chief.
The result was that little later on
Tlan Tech improved his properties
and built up the most progressive
Indian village In the whole of south
eastern Alaska. Besides some ranch
property, 1t is understood that the
chief leaves $4,000 In cash, which he.
placed in the hands of the United
States marshal with instructions to
keep it in trust for his family.

Two weeks from today the April
jury session of circuit court will con-
vene and though the docket at pres
ent is not lengthy yet the session may
produce some very interesting trials
Among the cases in prospect are those
of Joseph Haaga. second trial, Mel
vim Buck, Guy Hayes, Warren Steph-
ems, L. E. Edwards and possibly c..
B. Wade. From appearances at pres
ent no grand jury will be called.
That he will try Haaga again at the
coming jury session was stated this
morning by District Attorney Phelps,
provided he can find several witnesses
that the state desires. The men want
ed are Tom Harrison and several
others from whom Haaga claimed at
his recent trial that he had purchas-
ed some of the things he is accused
of having stolen from the George e.
Miller store. At the time of the
trial these men could not be found
to corroborate or deny Haaga's story.
II he can locate the men Mr.. Phelps
believes the guilt or innocence Of
Haaga can be clearly shown and he Is
anxious to find them. At the former
trial the jury stood 10 to two for ac-
quittal and at one time there was but
a single vote for conviction.
Melvin Buck and Guy Hayes are
both charged with stealing cattle
from an Indian on the reservation,
while Warren Stephens was arrested
nearly four years ago on a charge OF
horsestealing. While out on 5000
bail he fled and was not found until
last week when he was arrested in
Walla Walla county.
l.. E. Edwards. is now in Jail charg-
ed with having stolen a watch at Echo.
He was tried for similar offense last
term of court, but was acquitted.
Wade Trial Improbable.
Since the filing OF the affidavits as
to c. B. Wade's mental condition
week or more ago. the case has not
been taken up in court. Whether or
not he will be required to come here
and stand trial remains to be seen.
but apparently there is little proba-
bility of such a thing coming to pass.
The fact that strong affidavits in his
behalf have been filed and that those
who should be chiefly interested in
his prosecution are petitioning to have
his case dropped, has considerably
weakened the case against him.

Department Called Out to Watch
Small Shed on West Webb Street
Burn.
A wild run OF 10 blocks all for a
small woodshed fire was the lemon
that was handed to the Pendleton fire
department this afternoon. The lit
tie house that burned was at the
home of H. Nolen at 519 Marie street
and for few minutes this afternoon
It received more attention than is or
dinarlly bestowed upon one wood
shed in lifetime.
About 2 O'clock this afternoon the
central companies were called out by
the fire bell and within a minute the
two hose cars and the hook and ladder
truck, hauled by dray horses, went
tearing down Webb street at a met
ropolitan clip. Following them went
500 people on foot and an equal sized
crowd gathered from the other end,
A line OF hose three blocks long was
laid to the scene Of the fire and the
flames were soon at the mercy OF the
firemen,

BY 6 score OF five to four the Pen.
dleton picked-up team defeated tbs
Pilot Rock nine at the Umatilla Gen.
tral terminal city yesterday. Three
of the runs by Pilot Rock were made
during their last inning.
The following is a .birdseye view OF
the game as II appeared to a special
correspondent of the East Oregonian
who witnessed the match and noted
the work of the differens players
with a critical eye.
Johnson played the star game OF
the day on first base, while Shock
ley did some gym work in the fSIrth
inning by turning oyer backwards
with a fly ball in his hands He
jumped up and made double out by
lining It to second TO Alexander.
Collins caught first class game
for the first game this season.
Tardiff, the left handed pitcher,
showed great work in the first five
innings by holding the score to /
in their favor, and they all wanted
him in the box again, but his arm
was lame and they put Jack Khem.
the double header pitcher. and he
showed no slow speed In the next two
innings.
Only seven innings were played oD
account Of the trains departure.
Vickers, the star left fielder, made
a fine showing by landing on the first
ball over the plate and bringing in
Alexander and getting to third.
Leonard, the right fielder, did
we'll till he was removed to short

some fine work for man not throw
ing ball for six months.
Alexander played a good game for
not having any practice.
Glenn Sturdivant. che Pendleton

wasn't word said against him on
either side and every one on the lines

POOR BUT HAPPY PEOPLE.
Quarter Of a Million People In Naples
Live From Hand to Mouth.

AhNO 2NhOuut.
1t is estimated that quarter of a
million people in Naples live from
hand to mouth; and there are hun
dreds of children who subslst out OF
the garbage boxes, and who sleep in
churches or door steps.
The taxes in Italy to provide war
ships and to keep the nation on a
war footing with the other powers
are really stupendous. There is a
tax on everything says the Delinea-
tor. Grain in the field, fruit on the
vine, old bottles. Fuel and food
stuffs, are very dear-only labor is
cheap. For the very poor, meat is
a luxury unheard of and even macaro-
nj Is too dear to be INDUCED in of
ten. There are any number of per-
ambulating street kitchens, where
various kinds Of soup, cakes and
fruits are sold in portions costing one
cent. And yet these people are al
ways playing in the streets; the gui-
tar and mandolin are to be heard
everywhere-on the boats, in the ho-
tels-and the stranger is lulled to
sleep by a soft serenade under the
balcony.
The story-teller thrlves in Naples,
as there are so many ldlers there. He
collects little crowd around him and
proceeds in the most dramatic way,
gesticulating wildly and working his
face into the most excruciating ex-
pressions, to relate stories of adven-
ture or other events. much to the
edification OF his hearers. who. to
show their appreciation, are often be-
trayed into giving sou which might
have been better spent for bread or
"polenta."
