Next Monday morning the jury
term of circuit court begins and a
grand jury will be called for the pur-
pose of investigating cases that may
be brought before it. Immediately
after the grand jury has been chosen
the court will proceed to the trial Of
some civil cases and it may be sew
eral days before any criminal work is
done.
At 1880 this afternoon Judge H. j.
Bean summoned the lawyers of the
city to the court room for the pur-
pose of further setting cases for trial
and the docket was run through.
For the opening day of the term
the case of Kunkel VS.. Jarvis and the.
case of 0. b. Bowman VS.. Henry
Wade are set for trial. Both are
civil cases of no great Importance.
For the morning. of September %,
Tuesday, the case of j. A. Hawkes.
VS.. w. A. Slusher, is set for trial. This
is a damage suit growing out of a
fight that occurred last spring be-
| tween Slusher and Hawkes..
The case of Isabel Taylor VS.. Moses
Taylor, which grew out of the settle
ment of the Taylor divorce case, is
set for Tuesday afternoon.
For Wednesday the case set for
trial are those of the state against
Melvin Buck and Guy Hayes. Both
are cattle stealing cases and this
afternoon Colonel ]. H. Raley. attor-
ney for the defendants, stated that
they desired separate trials.
The case of the state VS.. Quinn is
set for the 25th and that of the state
against Warren stephens for the fol-
lowing day.
Two other cases that are to be
tried this time. but for which definite
dates have not yet been set, are those
of Wilson VS.. Card and the First Ma
tional Bank of Pomeroy, Iowa, VS..
b. F. Mccullough.
But the above cases do not repre-
sent all the business that is to come
up at the coming session for the
grand jury may furnish a multitude
of criminal cases. Since the first OF
July the district attorney has not had
the indicting power and as a result
a host of cases now await the inquisi-
torial body. But naturally liquor
selling cases will constitute the bulk
of their work.
Many of those cases, in which in
dictments will be returned, may be
tried out at the same jury session.
The cases to be called Monday and
during the week are all jury cases
and jurors are to be present in the
court room at 10 o'clock.

HITCHCOCK IS
MUCH WORRIED
NATIONAL CHAIRMAN HAS
COMMISSIONER IN OREGON
Special Agent Visits Portland for che
Purpose of Lining Up Rivals in the
Party and Promoting Harmony in
Ranks-Belieyed that McIIarg VIII
Dictate Division of Political Pie
When HonOrs Are Won in Coming
Election.

Portland. Sept. 1.-THE factional
fights seem to threaten the success of
the republican party in oregon and
because of the struggle between the
Bourne, Fulton and other interests,
Frank Hitchcock, national chairman,
has sent an agent to Portland to learn
what is going on, ascertain who is
working for the ticket and which
politicians are out with the ham,
mer. The agent is Ormsby McHarg,
who slipped into Portland last spring
and arranged to frame up Taft dele
CATION to the Chicago convention. At
that time he carried letters from some
one high In authority" which he
flashed in the eyes of the most entu-
siastic of Roosevelt supporters, and
by means of is letters killed off the
Roosevelt enthusiasm and started
Taft's boom rolling.
The representative of Hitchcock is
here for the purpose Of trying TO
smooth over the differences among
the factions and endeavor to get them
working in harmony for Taft and
sherman. While here he will hold
heart-to-heart talks with various re-
publicans and ascertain what they
are doing and what others are doing.
McHarg visited the state headquar-
ters last evening and was on deck
this morning. lie may break in on
the finance committee, which is to
meet this afternoon, and II he does
the finance committee may find out
what hope there Is for contribution
from the national campaign fund.
The visit of the special agent is
construed to mean that Hitchcock is
not over confident of oregon, other
wise II would not be necessary to send
a representative here for the purpose
of getting the warning leaders togeth-
er. McHarg practically admitted this
feeling on the part of the eastern men
for oregon last evening.
One fact impresses itself on the
who are looking to the
future. The presence of an agent In
the state will have much to do in the
way OF directing honors, His report
is expected to have a bearing when
Taft wants to know where the credit
should go for the work in Oregon and
who is entitled to dictate where the
pie Is to be cut and in what manner
Without the presence
Of a special representative. anyone
might set up a claim for recognition,
but when all are supposed to be
everyone will get in and
hustle for the ticket

No FUEL FAMINE
FOR PENDLETON
DEALERS NOT AFFECTED
BY WYOMING STRIKE
Although Labor Troubles in Rock
Springs District Make Outlook Sc
rious Pendlcton Is Supplied from
Mines Not Involved in Difficulty
Some Fuel on Hand and More on
Way-Other Cities Not So Fortu-
nate.

/ Though the northwest is again
threatened with a coal shortage it is
not believed by those who are in a
position to know, that Pendleton vii
be seriously affected.
The strike is still on in the Wyo,
ming coal district and as that is the
source of the supply of Rock Spring,
coal, the kind principally used in thi.
city, it would seem that there wa!
need for apprehension on the part o.
the local consumers, but an investl
cation shows this need not be the
case
The supply of Rock Springs Goa
on hand will probably be exhausted
in a very few days. but other coal i:
plentiful and it is doubtful If the
visible wood supply was ever great
| er
While there are six fuel dealers in
/ Pendleton there are only three who
handle the Rock Springs coal. They
are the Umatilla Lumber company.
Henry Koppittke and Ben Burroughs.
the new proprietor of the Laatz
Bros. yard. The bins of the first two
are practically empty at the present
time and while Burroughs has con-
siderable quantity on hand it is not
near enough to supply the need of the
city for any length of time.
While the Umatilla Lumber COM
pany's supply is all but exhausted
there is more on the road and Mana
ger Probet produced letters to show
that the mine from which they pur-
chase their Wyoming coal is in oper-
alton despite the strike and will con-
tinue to fill the orders of its regular
customers as rapidly as possible
Probet therefore feels that his pat
rons need have no fear of being un-
able to get the kind of coal they want
at any time.
Other dealers are also arranging
to get fuel from mines outside of the
district affected by the strike and all
those interviewed this morning seem
to have no apprehension of being un-
able to get some kind Of fuel, though
the fear was expressed that Rock
Springs coal would he scarce.
But while there seems to be no
cause for alarm in Pendleton, it is re-
ported that other parts of the north
west are not so favorably situated.
The Baker City papers are urging the
people to make early arrangements
for their winters fuel supply as the
coal bins of the city are said to be
empty and the dealers are unable to
get more
It is reported that Mountain Home. !
Idaho, was left in darkness Saturday
night for the reason that the electric
light company was unable to get coal .
to operate its plant. while a railroad .
man said yesterday that the railroads
were utilizing their oil burner loco
motives and using oil for fuel in the
place of coal wherever ii was posi-
bic to do so.

LOOKING CLASS TRAIL IS COMPLETED

Looking Glass Trail" in the Blue
mountains, is completed, according to
reports received in Pendleton from j.

ports the completion of two rangers

attempted to travel this route before
the trail was built can appreciate
the benefit to be derived from the
ne wtrall.

who finds gold While near his place
one day he noticed the little stream
that runs into the river from Juniper
canyon and the glitter of gold at
tracted his attention. He decided to
try his luck with a pan and the re-
suits were more than satisfactory. He
found eight "colors' from sand taken
but a few feet below the surface and
he decided that his prospect was good
enough to justify him in filing upon
it. Accordingly he posted the neces-
sary notice on the claim, staked out
the corners and then had his claim
recorded.

The city OF Pendleton will have
prohibition laws of its own and Will
enforce them on its own responsible
ity II ordinances introduced last
night are made into law.
Two ordinances covering the subject
have been prepared at the instance Of
Mayor Murphy and were presented to
the council last night. They are now
I'm the hands Of the ordinance COM
mittee and seemingly both measures
will be passed without opposition.
The first ordinance presented is one
which prohibits the sale of intoxicat-
ing beverages within the city. The
language of the ordinance Is ident-
cal with that of the state law except
ing in one or two unimportant par
ticuars. The penalty for violating
the ordinance was left blank and will
be filled in by the committee.
Near Beer Ordinance.
The second ordinance proposed Is
intended to place resorts that sell
near beer and other Notwithstanding
malt liquors upon a license basis. The
amount to be paid for the license is
not yet fixed, nor has the penalty for
violations yet been agreed upon.
Before man may secure a license
10 sell near beer or kindred bever-
ages he must make written applica-
tion to the council stating where his
- 4,
have his application endorsed by at
least three reputable citizens, The
application must also set forth his
former occupation.
Under the terms OF the ordinance
proprietors OF near beer establish
ments are barred from selling drinks
to Indians or minors.
When the ordinances were present.
ed last night Mayor Murphy explain
ed that he was responsible for them
and asked their passage In order to
make II possible for the police de-
partment to proerly handle the To-
cal situation.
Regulating Autos.
Another ordinance up last night
was for the regulation of autos with
in the city. II provides a maximum
speed of 10 miles an hour for autos,
bicycles and motor cycles and speci-
files that machines shall not use
greater speed than 10 miles an hour
In rounding corners The ordinance
also provides that after night all
autos. motor cycles, etc. shall be
equipped with lights, showing white
to the front and red to the rear.
This ordinance was passed by the
council last night.
MIX Ordinance Waits.
When time came for considering
the dairy ordinance Chairman Hin
ke said he wished further time in
which to go over the ordinance and
intimated he might be against the
measure. Councilman Knight also
member of the ordinance committee,
said he heartily approved of the ordi-
nance provided some further changes
can be worked out satisfactorily
At the present time the difficulty Is !

the ordinance as drafted applies to |
