NEEDS ELECTION To
REMOVE MEMORIAL
City Council Can Not Take Down
the Police Boards
Bronze Tablet

ALAMEDA. July SIT will cost the
city $4,000 at least to remove the
bronze memorial tablet that Police and
Fire Commissioners AL Latham. w. F.
Chapman and Louis T. Ward had
caused to be erected to themselves on
the new Webb avenue engine house,
and to which Councilman John II.
Walker has vigorously protested on
the ground that the commissioners had
no legal right to expend the tax pay
er's money in their ambition to have
their names handed down to posteritys
No less an authority than City At
torney NJ w Simpson says that II will
cost the municipality $4,000 at the
lowest figure TO remove legally the
tablet and send it to the junk pile,
where Councilman Walker said it be-
longs The city attorney says that
the matter of stripping the tablet from
the fire house would. under the charter,
have to be submitted to a referendum
vote, and such an election here costs
about $4,000.
Simpson has given II as his opinion
that the charter gives the police and
fire commissioners sole control over the
fire house, and that it is beyond ths
Jurisdiction of the city council TO order
the memorial tablet removed. Coun-
Gilman Walker is OF a different mind
and declares that the bronze plats
must come down In giving his opinion
OF the situation City Attorney Simpson
said:
why, the city council has no more
right to order that tablet removed than
1t would to go down TO the city's cleo
trio light plant and order the engines
in the works taken out. The only
way left open TO have the memorial
removed Is TO submit the question to
the voters at a referendum election.
That would be expensive"

COOMBS SUCCUMBS
TO BULLET WOUND
Victim of Shooting Dies After
Declaring That His Injury
Was Accidental

OAKLAND. July 9.-John Coombs OF
14S1 Pomona street, Fruitva1e. the
shooting of whom July s presented
such suspicious aspects that an investi-
cation was made by Sheriff Barnet. died
today as a result of the wound he re-
ceived. An inquest will be.held-
Coombs said that he was shot acci-
dentally, his pistol having fallen from
his hip pocket and been discharged
when 1t struck the floor. HeNreceived
a mortal wound and little hope for his
recovery was entertained from the first.
owing to the fact that he had a violent
quarrel with Joseph S. Marshall only a
few weeks before over the latter's wife
the story was circulated that he might
have met with foul play.
Coombs was conscious before he died
and made a statement in which he ex-
onerated every one.

FARM BY POWER.
Baker County Ranchers to Try New
Experiment.


Determined to try out a process that
many have believed is not only prac-
tical but just the proper thing for
this section, ]. w. and w. w. Lillard
who live north of Baker City, have
Just received a large double cylinder
engine they ordered recently and will
use It for plowing the desert soil and
pumping water for irrigating during
the season, says the Herald.
The engine is a "Reeves" and Is
built for extreme power. A set of
gang plows accompany it and large
pump is also ready to be attached
When the outfit is unloaded and set
up on the Lillard ranches 1t Is be-
lieved there will be no trouble about
results. According to testimonials of
parties familiar with the traction en-
gine, sage brush gives way under it
very readily and the desert land can
be plowed to depth that would tax
heavily the strength of horses.
To prevent an engine from lying
idle much of the time is the desire
of those who invest in machinery.
With the program as outlined the
Lillard engine will be kept reasonably
busy, for when the plowing and seed
ing shall have been finished then will
come the pumping season, at which
time the new engine will take prom
inent part. When the irrigating has
ceased and crops have matured again
the engine will come in handy in har-
vest.

MAN FORGETs THE PAST.
Cannot Remember Name or Anything
Concerning His Life.

Passic, N. j., Feb. S.-Both the hos
pital authorities and the police are
trying to ascertain the identity of
a strapping six-foot patient at the
Passic General hospital, who is suf-
fering from lapse OF memory, hav-
ing forgotten his name, his relatives
and his business. A PENNSYLVANIA
railroad timetable bearing the words,
Tyler Jubal Bagler, Hinton, W. Va. :"
is the only clew to his identity. His
case is attracting particular attention
because he rambled incoherently
about Greek history declaring he is
Leonidas and his home is in Sparta.
1t was thought at first that the un-
fortunate stranger referred to Spar
ia, Sussex county, n. j., but his dis
courses on mythology have since in
dicated he refers to the original city
of days gone by. The man is appar-
emily 30 years old, and was we'll dress
ed when found on the street.

TRACK MEN ARE
GETTING BUSY
MAKING PREPARATIONS
FOR SPRING ATHLETICS
PendletOn High School Expects to
Put Out Strong Team This Sea-
son and VIII Try to Capture Cham
pionshlp OF Eastern OregOn-Big
Meet VIII be Held In This City.

| Preparations are being made for
track work at the high school for the
coming spring. Vaulting and jump
ing poles are being set up and actual
practice has begun. A number of last
years stars will be in the team this
year and 1t thought that Pendleton
will have a good chance to secure the
high school honors for eastern Ore
gon.
The big eastern Oregon high school
meet is to be held in Pend.eton this
year and the indications are that the
home team will again be victorious.
Chester Gordon will do the sprint
Last y@ar ne did the hundred in
II 1-5 and he is expected to make
bett time this year. Kimball Is al
so a fast sprinter and also is hur-
dler.
Hawley Bean will be depended up
on TO - the high jump and Devine
will do the weights.
Wayne Chapman is a new men,
ber who is expected to make a good
showing and Tommy Boylen will go
in for the distances. In the state
meet in Colorado last year at Dem
yer, Boylen came out third in the
three and a half mile distance run,
and 1t was owing to a misfortune
that he did not get first place. He
was in the lead until the last twenty
yards when he collapsed. allowing
two others to come in ahead of him
before he could rally.
In the opinion of the trainer and
the boys themselves there is little
doubt that the victory will be
won by the home team. Although the
team is weak in the weights and other
heavy work they expect to make up
for the deficiency in the sprints and
long distance runs and jumping.
There are also number of new
men who have not appeared in the
track work before bat who are prom
ising material. A number OF them
are showing up already and 1t is
thought that before the meet arrives,
there will be some good results OBJ
tanned from them.

"Opcn Up" Exhibit.
Seattle. Feb. S.-Oregon was the
first of all the states to "opcn up" its
exhibit at the Alaska -Yukon-Pacific
| Exposition. a
It is the habit of the exposition d.
rectors when they are showing ma,
tables through the grounds, to point
out the Oregon building as the first
of the state buildings to be completed
and one of the handsomest of any
kind on the grounds.
A few days ago they were enter
tanning the newspaper men of the
state of Washington ans as usual led
them up to the Oregon building to
brag a bit. They were invited in
side and, to. the surprise of everyone,
found big red apples by. the ton,
great jars of fruit and grapes and
other things that Oregon produces,
already to. go to the tables and
shelves which were being ranged
around the building.
Before they got out of the building
they were taken down into the base
ment. where a cold storage plant is
in operation, and there everyone of
the 200 writer's present was given an
apple the size of muskmellon and
invited to come again.
Oregon's splendid building is, in
fact, one of the most attractive pres
ent features for those who now flock |
daily to the exposition grounds, but
only recently the California building,
a handsome structure of modified |
Spanish architecture, was completed
and II will be a close competitor with
Oregon for popular favor. III

Pendleton High, "a.
Weston Normal, 23.

/ With the score tied three times in
the course of the game and victory,
by one point, coming in the last half
| minute of play, Pendleton high
school won from Weston normals at
basketball last night in one of the
most exciting games ever seen in the
city. From start to finish the contest
was replete with spectacular features.
Though rough at times it was not ex-
tremely so as a rule and both teams
were equally guilty.
The local players started out with
small lead which they secured by
baskets from the foul line. This was
quickly overcome by the visitors by
burst of speed and then the locals
came back into the lead again with
a couple of spectacular baskets in
rapid succession, by Midget" RAIDER.
This lead was maintained during the
remainder of the first half which
ended IL to II,
Second Half.
Early in the second part of the
game, the score was tied. Then the
locals went ahead only to be caught
up with again and passed. About the
middle of the second half it looked
like Pendlton would not be able to
overcome the lead which Weston had
been permitted to obtain but slow
ly and surely the locals crawled up
until with less than minute to play,
McDill dropped a neat goal from near
the center of the floor, winning the
game by one point, the winal score |
being "a to %.
For some time after the referees |
whistle had sounded it was not known |
who had won. At first 1t was an
