MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND C0LON|sTS
PASSED THROUGH PENDLETON FRIDAY

Approximately 2S00 people were on
the trains that came in yesterday
from the east, carrying the colonsts
that are seeking homes in the west.
These We're from all parts of the east
and middle west and they have all
come out to the wild and wooly'
west to see what can be done in the
way of making homes for themselves
and families.
Six of these stopped at Hermiston
s at Echo and at Umatilla and
others at other towns along the line
that have promise of a good future.
Approximately 400 of these trans
ferred at Umatilla to go to Washing
ton points A special train consist
ing of s cars was made up for the
purpose of carrying these into the
territory they wished to see.
No. 5 last night also had a large
number of colonists. The first Sec
ton was the regular train and did
not contain a very large number of the
colonists. The second section how
ever was the special colonist train
and contained IL coaches of colonists
alone. There were approximately
500 people on this train.

wreck yesterday was a streak Of

LONG LOCAL OPTION
FIGHT is ENDED

Olympia. March 6.-The long drawn
out fight on the local option ques-
tion came to a close this morning
when the senate concurred in the am
endment of the house to the option
bill AS soon as the document is put
in shape it will be ready for the sig
nature of the governor. The vote
was "a to 4.
Those voting against the bill were,
Anderson, Brown, Bryan, Cotterill,
Cox and Stevenson.
The senate passed two apprropria-
tion bills for Improvements, $4,000
for the benefit of Pierce and King
counties for the construction of a
drift barrier near the point where
the White river departs from its old
channel. Fifty thousand was also
appropriated for Improvement of the
Columbia river between Bridgeport
and Kettle Falls.
The senate passed an appropriate
on of S62OOO0 for the construction
and maintenance of state roads.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-03-06

good luck for this part of the county
as the passengers had an opportunity
to see the land lying along the river
at the Echo and Hermiston points and
they were very enthusiastic over the
looks of the land, and according to
Passenger Agent O'Neil the remarks
were very complimentary to the
country.
The people seeking homes in the
west who are passengers on these
trains are prosperous and intelligent
looking and are very much superior
to the class that generally gather
for the purpose of entering a new
country. Not a foreigner was in the
lot and the majority seemed to be a
prosperous class who seemed to be
out in their spare moments looking
for a good location to invest money.
Although most of them have their
lunches brought with them and eat
them in the cars they are unusually
clean for the class that is ordinarily
found on a colonist train.
If the present rate of the advent Of
these people continues there will
soon be thousands of the colonists
flowing to all parts Of the west and
once out here they will be pretty apt
to stay.

spread to adjoining shops. The pro-
prietors were helpless.

WIDESPREAD REIMBURSEMENT
OF RATES is PROPHESIED

st. Paul, Mimi, March 6.-Wide-
spread changes will result from the
decisions of the interstate commerce
commission in the Spokane rate case,
according to st. Paul railroad off,
cials. They say that the order will ne
cessitate changes in class rates to a
great many points in oregon, WASH
ington, and possibly Montana.
"There is fixed relation between
the rates from eastern points to cor
responding territory served by each
of the transcontinental lines" said
an official tonight, "and therefore
it would follow that class rates
would be reduced to points similarly
situated on the Union Pacific, Santa
Fee, and Southern Pacific lines, and
the ultimate effect of such changes
will be a widespread adjustment of
the rates in the whole territory west Of
Chicago and south of the internation-
al boundary"
