Ben Clifford, the well-known photo
grapher of The Dalles and they have
been on exhibit here today.
one OF Mr.. Gifford's views is Of the
city OF Pendleton and it shows the
town from above the hospital to the
extreme lower edge of the city. The
view is 70 by 16 inches and the detail
is strikingly clear.
The other view shows the Presby-
terian church on the reservation,
surrounded by tepees erected there
during the revival meeting that is
now on. This picture is large and is
one of the most llfelike things ever
taken in the photograph line.
The photographs were taken by Mr..
Clifford with a monster panoramic
camera he secured not long ago and
the pictures displayed are just as
taken By the machine, there being no
enlargement.
For some time past Mr.. Clifford has
been in the service Of the o. r. & N.
company and his pictures are used
for advertising purposes all over the
country. 1t is likely that the two
views taken here will be used for that
purpose.

ceased served as pallbearers: Tom
Ainsworth, p. Corrigan, J. II. Doty,
William Clancy Dee Matlock and Ed
Thompson.
According to those who knew
Brandt well, he was likable fellow
and there is genuine regret over his
death, though in view OF his misfor-
tune they do not blame him for end
ing his life.
Years ago the deceased became ad-
dicted to morphine through an acci-
dent. While a bystander at a fight
in Portland he was struck upon the
head by a policeman and trepan-
ming operation was necessary to save
his life. He was given morphine by
the surgeon and 1t is said became
Nctim to the drug habit without
knowing what he was using. Though
he was unable to shake off the habit
he abhorred it and never associated
with others who were dope fiends."

PENOLETON VS..
PORTLAND GREYS
FANS LOOKING FOR
BEST GAME OF SEASON
Parkes VIII BE In the Box and
Strongest Team City Has Had for
Years VIII BE Out to Win-Lorimcr
Has Strong Ltne-up-Gamc Called
Early-TNvo Contests With La
Grande Next Week.

Having already won from all the
ball teams of this section, the Pen,
dleton team will play the Portland
Greys here tomorrow and the fans
are looking forward to the game with
interest
Though the visiting team is strong
one, the local rooters are now willing
to back Lorimer's stickers against
anything that may come down the line
and they declare that after the game
tomorrow the color of the visiting
team will have an autumnal hue.
In the game tomorrow Parkes will
be in the box for Pendleton, a fact
that shows that the team will be out
to win. Munson, a new man from
Alameda, will be behind the bat,
while Conrad will again play first.
Shockley will hold down the second
bag, Van Houten, third and Lee will
play short stop.
In the outfield King will play left,
Gray center and Baker right.
Collins and Lorlmer will be on the
bench.
The game tomorrow will commence
at 2:SO sharp as 1t is necessary for the
visiting team to leave for Walla Walla
on the evening train.
Week Day Games.
On next Tuesday and Wednesday,
La Grande will be here for two more
games and other week day games
have also been scheduled.
The soldiers from Fort Walla Walla
will be here a week from Sunday and
an effort will be made to have them
here on Saturday also. Later on
games will be played with Baker City.
According to Manager Lorimer, a
regular league will not likely be
formed owing to the failure of Walla
Walla to lineup in the same. But
nevertheless, many week day games
will be scheduled and in reality
league ball will be played regardless
of the failure to organize.
Lorimer's team is now the strong
est loca lnine the city has had in years
and with the success 1t has had so far
players are flocking to the team from
all sides.

HANDS OVER REINS
William Howard Taft Shows
Gen. Wright His Duties.
VIII Formally Leave the Office
Tomorrow.
HE'S A VERY BUSY MAN
Presidential Candidate Must
Sign Thousands of Letters.
Craftsmanship Question Is Still
an Unsettled One.
HE'S A VERY BUSY MAN

Washington, June 29.-when Will
liam Howard Taft leaves his office in
the war, state and navy building to-
morrow evening, he will have finished
his labors as secretary of war. His
successor. General Luke E. Wright,
will take up and continue this work
along the same lines of general policy.
A good deal of routine work still re-
mains to be disposed of and even be-
fore he left his X street residence this
morning, Mr.. Taft had plunged into
the work ahead of him and had con-
suited with his brother, Charles P.
Taft, who arrived yesterday from Gin
cinnati.
The Secretary and Mrs. Taft and
their young son Charlie will spend the
Fourth of July at Hot Springs, Va.
There they are expected to remain
practically continuously until the first
of September.
Among the big tasks with which the
secretary was confronted today was
the signing of thousands of letters in
response of congratulatory letters.
General Wright. who arrived from
New York late last night appeared at
the war department shortly after 1
O'Clock today and had conference with
General Franklin Bell. chief of staff.
and General Clarence r. Edwards
chief of the bureau of insular affairs
II understand" said General Wright,
that this position of secretary of war
is something of job and I propose
to try and familiarize myself with it's
details. 1 do not expect to take a va
cation in the ordinary sense of the
term, but will remain right here during
the greater part of the summer. Mrs.
Wright will remain at Memphis for a
few weeks and then will go to the
home of our daughter up in New York
state. 1 may join her for a brief per-
iod."
1t was expected by Secretary Taft
that Frank Hitchcock, the Washington
manager of his preliminary campaign
for the presidential nomination would
have a conference with the secretary
later in the day or tomorrow.
No new developments have been dis
closed concerning the national chair
manshp, but the statement is reitera-
ted that no announcement concerning
it will be made until after the meeting
of the Republican national committee
to be held in Hot Springs. Va, July 8.
Accompanied by his brother, Charles
