While the Republicans are worry
ing about the danger to their chances
IN the campaign threatened by Pro-
hibitionists for local Offices. the De-
mocracy also has something to fear.
Indications are that that idea OF new
labor party, advocated by the Hearst
men OF New York, has caught on here
with the radical element OF the Demo-
cracy. III there are four parties In
the field with local tickets, the Labor
candidates will draw about as heav-
lily from the Democrats as the Pro-
hfbitionists will from the Republicans.

MORE LIGHT ON STEEL.
State TNeasurer's Wife Owned Stool
In Defunct Bank.

Added light was thrown on the
connection of State Treasurer George
A. Steel with the tangle Of the wreck
ed Title Guarantee G. Trust company
in the federal court this morning
when w. C. Bristol made application
for the settlement of the account of
the Home Security & Investment
company, says the oregon Daily
Journal.
At that time 1t was stated that Mrs.
Eva Steel, wife Of the state treasurer,
owned practically all Of the stock Of
the Home Security & Investment COM
pany, which was a subsidiary corpora
ton of the Title company.
According to the statement of the
district attorney made to Judge VOL
verton the Home Investment COM
pany was formed as a subsidiary or
ganization under the wing of the
Title Guarantee & Trust company,
practically all of the stock in the
concern being held by Mrs. Eva Steel.
Prior to the failure Of the bank the
Home Securities company purchased
lot 2 of block 81, being property in
the business district. The Home in
vestment company borrowed $4,000
of the Title Guarantee G. Trust COM
pany with which to swing the deal,
giving in return for the money,
mortgage on the property. At the time
of the failure this amount was still
owing, while the private account Of
Mrs. Steel was $701S.
Application was therefore made
this morning to the court to allow
Mrs. Steel to apply the amount due
her, $701S, on the mortgage of $13,-
900 due the bank, or the receiver as
the matter now stands. 1t was ex-
planned by Mr.. Bristol that an ar
rangement had been reached whereby
Mrs. Steel agreed to clear the prop
erty of all debt and to repay at once
to the bank the amount due after de-
Quoting the $7018 paid by the trans
fer of her private account against the
mortgage. Judge Wolverton allowed
the motion and made an order to that
effect

With $500 already subscribed to
the cemetery fund by the different
fraternal societies Of the city and
more yet to come from that source.
the subscription list has been greatly
strengthened and there is now no
doubt whatever as to the success of
the movement for the improvement
of the Olney burial ground.
With the generous contributions
just made by the fraternal societies,
the total amount pledged for the
cemetery has been brought above the
$4,000 mark. Then the city already
has $685. in the cemetery fund, so
that there is now nearly $4,000 in
sight for the improvement outside of
the $4,000 left by Mrs. Figg- -Thomp-
son. While it is understood that
amount will be available there seems
to be some question concerning 1t and
in the movement for improving the
cemetery the committee has not
counted upon the money.
Lodges Give Literally.
At its meeting last week Pendleton
commandry, Knights Templars voted
$125 for the cemetery fund and 1t is
said the chapter will give an equal
amount. Saturday night Eureka
lodge, l. o. o. F., voted $3.50 for the
fund and 1t is said Integrity lodge,
which meets tomorrow evening. will
give $3.50. Last night the Woodmen
voted $3.50, while the Knights of
Pythias also authorized their trustees
to subscribe $3.50 to the fund, pro-
vided they could dispose of a piece
of property the lodge has In the east
end of town. The Elks and the
Eagles lodges have both expressed
their intentions Of subscribing liber-
ally though the exact sums have not
yet been decided upon.
Aside from the above lodges, the
Redmen. Modern Woodmen, Artisans,
Maccabees, Woodcraft circles, and the
Eastern Star, have also been asked to
contribute.
On the individual subscription lists
a total of $4,000 had been subscribed
up to this afternoon and subscriptions
were being taken right along by w.
j. Clarke and Councilman McCorm-
mach, who have been the most active
in the work Of soliciting funds for the
enterprise.
Churches Contribute Also.
AT many of the local churches spe-
cial contributions were taken Sun
day for the cemetery fund and good
ly amounts were given. At the Meth
odist church SCI was donated. while
at the Church Of the Redeemer $50
was subscribed. At several other
places Of worship some money was
secured for the fund, while some
churches, among them the Presbyte-
rian, will take an offering next Sun
day.
Tomorrow a joint meeting of the
councilmen and water commissioners
will be held for the purpose of dis
cussing the proposition Of extending
the city water system to the cemetery.

WILL RECLAIM $4,000 ACRES.
Two Rivers Project Soon Be Ready
for Opening.

Will H. Parry, president of the Pas
CO Power and Water company, which
is developing a 13,000-acre reclama-
tion project at Two Rivers, is in the
city today, says the Walla Walla Bull
letin.
Mr.. Parry states that plenty Of wa
ter will be available this year to ir-
rigate all the land under cultivation
near Two Rivers and that an opening
will be held between April 10 and May
1, when an excursion will probably be
run from Walla Walla.
1.-THE $4,000 acres OF land under
this project will be a great help to
Walla Walla," said Mr.. Parry, "as
this city will be the trading point. The
land is being sold In small tracts and
will support hundreds of families
Fasteners coming west, want small
farms and when the big farmers de-
eide to subdivide their holdings 1t
will rapidly increase the population"
One pump will be installed at Two
rivers which will irrigate 5000 acres
another will be put in later to supply
water for 1000 acres of land.

X. Harras Says Company With $780,
600 viii Start Rival Factory Soon.

That a new ice factory and cold
storage plant will be established here
soon was announced today by Rein
hold Harras, who has just sold out

cording to Mr.. Harras a company with

That the much agitated four-town
baseball league has gone the way that
gllmmers now seems certain and If
Pendleton is to have any baseball this
summer It looks as though it would
have to be on the same basis as that
OF the past few seasons.
Many days ago a league meeting
was to be held here under the guild
ance Of Jack O'Brien and representa-
tives from Baker City, La Grande and
Walla Walla were to meet with the
Pendleton fans to form the league.
But the time is now long past and no
delegates have appeared. Since he
was here one evening several weeks
ago, Mr.. O'Brien has not been in Pen
delton and local fans seem to know
nothing of his plans or whereabouts.
Immediately after the meeting here
a paper was circulated to some extent
and stock to the extent Of 500 or $500
was subscribed for by local people.
However, OF late nothing has been
done with the subscription and un-
less the league outlook grows brighter
It will not be circulated further.
1t is known tina tthe league propo-
sition met with an Indifferent recep-
ton at Walla Walla and that much
the same fate was accorded 1t at Ba-
ker City, II not La Grande also.
Though frequent announcements were
made that the league had been form
ed and that its success was assured,
the proposition was never more than
started and the fact that it has fallen
through has not been surprising. To
overcome local objections in the diff
ferent towns and lineup the four

At meeting of the students of the
Pendleton high school yesterday af-
ternoon all athletic relations with the
Walla Walla high school were declar-
ed off until the Walla Walla school
removes their present physical di-
rector, Glow.
Glow was the official during the
recent basketball game with the Wal
la Walla high and the Pendleton stu
dents still remember him for his un-
fairness on that occasion. Also they
resent statements made by him In an
interview with a Walla Walla paper.
Preparations for the track season are
now being made and Walla Walla Is
seeking a meet with Pendleton. But
this they will not get unless they let
Glow go.
The following resolutions upon the
subject were passed yesterday:
Knowing that the conduct Of Mr..
Glow, athletic director for the Walla
Walla high, who while acting as ref
cree for the basketball game held
between the Pendleton high school
and Walla Walla high school Febru-
ary 22, was 'ungentlemanly and unbe-
coming a referee and that he made
certain false and malicious statements
concerning members of the high
school faculty in the course of an in
terview to Walla Walla paper, be It
Resolved, That we, the associated
students of the Pendleton high school,
sever all interschoolastic relation
ships with the Walla Walla high
school as long as the said Mr.. Glow is
in any way employed by that lnstitu-
ton. and be 1t further
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be spread upon the min
utes of this association; copy pub
lished in the Ilakawinn and a copy be
forwarded to the principal of the
Walla Walla high school.

VIOLATE ORDINANCE.
Transient Vendors Shun Paying Lii
censeS-PatrOnize Home Merchants.

Within the past few weeks peddlers
have become as numerous as initia-
tive petitions about Pendleton and in
many cases they have been selling
stuff without first securing a license
to do so. By keeping in the resi-
dence portions of town and away from
the eyes of the police, some Of the
foot salesmen seek to avoid paying
the daily fee to the recorder,
In nearly every instance the things
sold by peddlers are of a cheap
grade and householders would find
much more satisfaction in patronizing
local stores instead of buying Of the
transients.
As the police are anxious to catch
all peddlers who do not have licenses,
people are requested to phone to the
police station whenever violations Of
the ordinance are learned OF.

force, says a Washington dispatch.
There is an apprehension that some

learned that Mexico is negotiating
with Japan for practically the same
regulations that have been applied to
