VOTERS ASKED TO
BE REGISTERED

City Clerk T. D. S. Hart was given
hard nut to crack this morning,
when a number Of voters of the city
called at his office and requested that
they be registered for the school cleo
ton tomorrow. One of the men who
had previously registered, but who had
later moved from one precinct to an
other, wished to be transferred, and
thus the clerks troubles began to in
crease. Communication with the city
attorneys office elected the intellI-
gence that they would have to look
it up" before they could render an
opinion, and shortly before o'clock
the opinion was forthcoming, whereby
those who desired were permitted to
quality for tomOrroWs election.

"Bud" Barnes
Still Waits

Nonchalantly awaiting the hearing
of his case in the supreme court, the
date of which has not yet been set
Bud" Barnes is still in the county
Jail, with the rest of the prisoners
there, apparently unconcerned about
his fate He eats and sleeps as any
other man and beyond his pale face
the result of long confinement in the
dark cell, he shows little effect of his
Imprisonment.
1t was on May 1 that Bud"
Barnes lured Mrs. Anna Aldrich to her
death on Coppei creek. On May he
was arraigned and entered the plea of
mot guilty" He was tried on and af-
ter June for the first time, when
the jury disagreed. and June "a the
second time, at which time he was
convicted of murder in the first de-
gree. On July 6 he was sentenced to
be hung and five days later a notice
of appeal was filed. On July 20
statement Of facts was filed by the
prosecution and on August pro-
posed amendment to the statement of
facts was filed by the defense. And
there the case rests.
Judge Brents has the statement Of
facts and it is now for him to decide
just what the statement shall be, that
is, the exact wording of the evidence
taken by the stenographer and the
transactions of the court. Until this is
settled. the, evidence will not go up to
the supreme court and the trial will
not be settled.
In the meantime, Barnes is in his
cell, taking life easily. His wife, and
the child born to her since the mur-
der, are at the home Of the mothers
father w. E. Abbey near Dixie He
seems not to worry at all concerning
his future and takes things in a quiet
way. He causes no trouble to the jail
er and is little noticed except that he
is carefully watched all the time and
especially so at the final rounds at
night. His fate will probably be in
doubt until some time in the spring
when the supreme court will settle it
finally.

School Directors
To Meet Soon

In pursuance of the provision of the
state law which stipulates there shall
be an annual meeting of the boards
of directors of the school districts of
the county, the meeting has been call
ed bv Superintendent Grant S. Bond
for December 10, 1908, in the court
room in this city. AT this meeting all
the directors of the 40 districts of the
county will be expected to attend,
which should make the attendance
more than 200. The law under which
the meeting is called provides that
..the county superintendent shall, each
wear. hold one or more directors meet
ings the expense of which shall be
audited and paid by the county COM

been paid from the working balances
on hand in the treasury Today this
working balance aggregates but about
$1S,000,000, and it is considered mex
pedient to reduce it further.
It is evident that legislation will be
necessary in the near future to provide
funds for continuing the canal work
When the remaining $40, 100000 author
lied has been expended the issuance
of additional bonds must be authorized
as the threatened heavy deficit in the
treasury will not permit the application
of any more cash from the working
balance. In fact, it is probable con-
gress will be requested to make good
the SIS 100000 already paid from that
source. re
For the approaching issue the coupon
bonds will be issued in denominations
of $40, 2100 and $1,000, and the regis
tered bonds of $40, $10O, $1,000 and
$4,000. They will be exempt from all
federal taxes or duties, as well as tax
ation in any form of state, municipal
or local authority. The bonds will be
available to national banks as secur-
ity for circulating notes and receivable
as security for public deposits in ma
tional banks. The law forbids their
sale at less than par, and provides that
all citizens shall have equal opportun-
ity to subscribe for them.
In considering the bids the secretary
will award the first allotment to the
bidders offering the highest prices. and
of two or more bidders offering the
same nriceS those asking for the small
er amounts will have priority.

Basketball In
High School

With the close of the class basket
ball game at the high school, the real
season is approaching and Coach Coch-
ran is whipping his team into shape
to take the interSchOlastic champion
ship of the northwest. The squad is
practising hard and there is much ri
valry for the open places on the team
For nucleus, the coach has three of
last years fast team back. 'Timid''
Steele, the phenomenal center, is the
best at this position in the country, at
least in interscholastic teams, and is
playing an even stronger game than
he did last year. He is tall, speedy,
accurate in shooting and does not for
get to guard his man. He is the pillar
around which Cochran is building a
strong team.
Besides the center, there is Black
man, last years forward who is back
and is playing He is fast and sure at
throwing and is good man. He is on
the blacklist this month, on account of
deficiency in studies, but he will more
than likely be in the playing for the
big games next month, when the sea-
son is really on. Pill" Steele, another
of last years team, is also back and
is playing close guard this year He
is there" all the time and his guard
ing was one of the features of last
years team.
Besides these three old men, there
are some likely new ones VIII owill be
in the limelight before the season is
over. Crawford, Gross, Gardner Jones
Armstrong and Brunton are all first
class men and while the season is not
far enough advanced to tell which of
these will play, or in what positions,
enough is known of the material to be
sure of a team even better than that
of last year.
The schedule has not yet been def
nitely settled. although the, games ar
ranged to be played are determined
upon The team will take a trip north
playing Spokane and the other towns
along the line, a return for the trip
endeavor is to be made to get one of
the strong teams from the coast, pre-
ferably from Portland or Seattle, to
play two or three games here. All
the regular games with the neighbor-
ing high schools, such as Pendleton,
Waitsburg, Dayton and other towns,
will be played; and also games with
Weston and Milton. The opening game
will probably be on December 81, with
Pendleton high school, although the
date has not yet been determined.
High school is also anxious to play
the other local teams that favors a
league in the city, in which would be
included Whitman and the Y NJ. c. A.
While none of the teams would care
so much for victories in these games,
the experience of meeting hard teams
would be excellent
Il am well pleased with the outlook"
said Coach Cochran last night. 1--WE
have plenty of good material and the
boys are willing to work. The inter
class games have shown me what the

because Mayor Eugene Tausick de-

bage question, a motion for a recon-
slderatlon of the vote which passed
the offending law on the evening of
November II, was made last night by
Councilman John F. Stack. and was
unanimously adopted. But after the
motion to reconsider had been placed
on the records, no other action was
taken looking to the regulation of the
garbage question.
Inc ordinance was passed in hur-
ry, with but little consideration, owing
to the fact that the city fathers de-
sired to attend the educational congress
at Whitman college, and No. 1864 was
not looked into in detail, resulting in

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Plenty OF
ak and few laws is likely to be the
record of the final decision of the six
tieth congress, beginning Tuesday. Ap-
sropriatiOn bills will probably be the
most important. Economy will be the
watchword. 1t is said the appropria-
tons for next year will not run over
a billion dollars.
Outside the regular budget, the riv-
4r and harbor bill will be the biggest
expenditure. The American Federation
Of Labor will make fight to separate
the unisns from the provisions of the
Sherman antitrust law. The new tar
ief bill will be the cause Of much ora
