road and has so much faith in il
that he is willing to put a large
amount of his own money into the
proposition. He is now busily en-
gagged in signing up the property
holders for rights of way across their
land and has the greater part of the
right of way across the Umatilla pro-
ject already secured.
The proposed route of the road ex-
tends almost directly across the CEN
ter Of the government proect from
Umatilla to the big reservoir and
dam. The contracts call for a right of
way 100 feet wide and specify that
the main line is to extend from Una
tilla to Milton and that various
branch line feeders are to be con-
structed.
For the time being it is proposed
to run the cars by steam or gasoline
power, but later electric cars will be
installed.

THREE PARTIES WILL
ASCEND MT. MKINLEY

Tacoma, oct. 26.-The question as
to whether or not DR.. Cook climbed
Mount Mckinley and left records in
an iron canister will surely be settled
next year, for the mountain will sure
ly be climbed if it is scalable. In ad-
dition to Cooks expedition Prof,
Herschel c. Parker of Columbia Uni
versity, and Belmont Brown of Ia
coma, will make an Independent at
tempt to climb the mountain. A third
expedition will probably consist of
Jules and Joe Stampfler. Lafe and
John Longmire. Sam Estee and DR..
j. A. Tanner, all residents of Pierce
county who are experienced mountain
climbers.

name Of the office for which he is
to run and the party or political prin-
ciple for which he stands, the latter
being expressed by not more than
three words.
Under the charter of the city of
Pendleton it is specified that all of,
flee holders must be qualified voters
OF the city and that the mayor and all
ccuncilmen must also be freeholders
for at least six months prior to their
election and that they must also be
taxpayers. These qualifications are
given in section Is, article three OF
the charter. Since stock in corpor-
atlons is classed as personal property
it seems that a seeker after the may
or's chair or councilmanic honors
must personally have title to realty
and have had the same for six months
before he can run for office.

PROPOSED UMAT|LLA-M|LTON
ROAD CROWS MORE PROBABLE

That the projected farmers rail-
road from Umatilla to Milton will be
constructed as far as the Cold
Springs dam if he has to build il
himself was the statement made this
morning by A. A Cole, the local
stockman and capitalist, who is one
of the leaders in the movement. He
says that progress on the preliminary
work in connection with the construc-
ton of the road is moving smoothly
and that the line is sure to be con-
structed.
When asked if he had not made
the statement that he would build
the road from Umatilla to the Cold
Springs dam if the farmers would
build the rest Of the road, he said he
had not made such a statement, but
that 1t was not altogether improbable
that he would.
Mr.. Cole is thoroughly in earnest
regarding the construction of this

lization than the people of the United
States" was the declaration made last
night by DR.. Harvey w, Wiley. chief

At the city recorders office today
the first nominating petition was fill
ed II was in behalf of c. w. Brown
field for councilman for East Pen
dleton precinct" But councilmen are
not elected by precincts and in con-
sequence of the fact 1t would seem
that the petition is ineffective. 1t was
evidently the intention Of the petition
ers TO nominate Mr.. Brownfield for
councilman from the first ward to fin
the vacancy to be left by Councilman
Mumm. But they failed to do so.
The Brownfleld petition is also de-
fective in that It does not set forth
the party or political principle for
which the candidate stands.
Under the provisions of the state
law regarding nominating petitions
such petitions must contain the name
of the candidate, his residence, the

night Herbert L. Bridgman of Brook
lyn, secretary of the Peary Arctic club

st. Louis, Oct. 26.-President Taft
and Senator Cannon apparently had
the same beliefs regarding waterway
improvements as a part of national
policy Of conserving the streams.
The speaker indorsed the presidents
attitude yesterday in the matter of a
bond issue to pay for the improvement
While Mr.. Taft's utterances on the
! subject were not so far reaching re-
garding the creation of the IA foot
/ channel as those of President Roose-
welt on a similar occasion and there
I fore not entirely cheering to the ad-
vocates of an immediate commence
ment of the work-yet Speaker Can
mons Endorsement gave those same
advocates encouragement. The gem
eral good was the test which the pres
lident prescribed for the undertaking
OF ambitious works.
Find IL Expenditure is Justified.
Let US take up each project on its
merits" he said, ''and determine by
AN means at our command whether
the country in which that project is TO
be carried out is so far developed as
to justify the expenditure of a large
sum Of money and whether the pro-
ject will be useful when done
when you have determined that on
the general principle Of good to the
entire country. then | am in favor
of doing that work as rapidly as it
can be done, and l am in favor of
issuing bonds TO do it."
Levee system Endorsed.
The speaker indorsed the levee sys-
tenn, congratulating East st. Louis
and its neighboring town on the COM
pletion OF the river barriers, the dedi-
cation of which formed part of the
days celebration. He predicted that
the Mississippi yet would be per-
manenty confined to its banks
throughout its length and urged that
the states adjoining the stream share
the cost with the national govern
ment.

walls in the foreign department and
the imperial household. Official an

the belief that the prince is dead 1t
