Thus spoke Prof David Todd, the

for establishing communication with
thc planet Mars.
At the risk of their lives, the Am

the celebrated balloou;s;, T.co stevens,
will ascend into the air to a height "
ten miles, distance as yet undrcam-
ed of by the boldcst acronaut.

New York, May 13.-Colonel
Roosevelt, in a current number of
the Outlook, says. 'grhere was but
one point in the platform of either
party in 1908 which contained any
menace to the peace Of the world, and
this was the plank in the Bryan plat
form demanding immediate exclusion
by law of all Aslatic laborers, there
fore Japanese. Coupled with this
was an utter meaningless plank about
the navy, which, however, intended
to convey the impression that we
ought to have navy only for the de-
fense of our coasts. That is, merely
a defensive navy. In other words,
it was quite useless to have a navy"
Roosevelt discussed Count Tolstoi,
saying that wherever his influence
was felt it had been for evil. He ex-
planned that il the reader were
strong enough TO discriminate, some
thing good can be got from Tolstoi's
writing, but he makes it clear that
i'm his opinion only weak persons are
influenced by the great Russian au-
thor.

UNDEFEA7ED DEBATING TEAMS
WILL CONTEST HERE TONIGHT

An unusual amount of interest is
being taken in the debate which il
to be held in Pendleton tonight be-
tween the teams of the Pendleton and
Newberg high schools. Both are
champions respectively of the eastern
Oregon and Columbia river districts,
and the winners of this contest will
be entitled to contend with the cham
pions Of the southern oregon district
for the state championship, 1t is this
fact that has caused Pendleton people
to take more interest than is usually
taken in high school debates.
The members of both teams have
shown themselves to be capable
speakers by the successful manner in
which they have overcome all for
mer opponents. One of the two must
go down to defeat tonight for the
first time The subject is one which
is of general interest and upon which
the public generally is seeking more
light.
The ability of the Pendleton boys
to handle the English language is
quite well known and the opposing
speakers come from a town which has
had the reputation for years of
turning out successful orators. The
fact that one of the visiting speak
ers is a young lady, also adds some in
terest.

Commissioner of Indian Affairs
Leup has been located at Phoenix,
Arizona, and has been wired TO by
the business men to come to Pendle-
ton and make a personal investiga-
ton OF the conditions leading up 20
the transfer of Major McFatridge as
agent. Though he has not been heard
from as yet II is believed that he will
come and It is also believed that his
coming will be followed by the re-
instatement of McFatridge.
Commissioner Leup has been in the
field for the past few months. maxi
ing a personal tour of the different
reservations under his direction and
1t was during his absence that Act
ing Commissioner Valentine removed
the Umatilla agent. II Is known that
Ieup Is personally favorably to Nc
Fatridge and It is believed that he can
be shown that it is to the best inter-
ests of all concerned to reinstate Nc
Partridge as agent.
The credit mems association and
local bankers are taking the lead in
the fight to secure a reversal of the
ruling Of Valentine though the reuters
are also working hard. The latter
are usually fighting among themselves
continuously, but for the first time
I'm years they are pulling together.
Following the meeting of the business
men, Tuesday evening, another was
held yesterday morning and still an
other last evening They are now
anxiously awaiting a reply from
Leup.
All Employees Transferred.
All employees at the Umatilla agency
Indian school have been transferred
TO other fields of duty as the result
of the friction which has existed at
the school between the agent and the
employees. This is made plain in let
ters of transfer received by the en-
ployes. one OF these, that received
by w. l. Gardner, the industrial in
structor who together with his wife,
resigned the service rather than ac-
cept the transfer though the salary
I'm the new position would have been |
greater than in the old. The letter |
makes it plain also that neither Mr. |
Gardner nor his wife were discharged. |
The wording of both is exactly the |
same, except that the salary figures
differ.
The following is the fun text of the |
letter, bearing date of April "a, re-
ceved by Mr. Gardner:
Valentines Letter.
"a reorganization of the force at
the Umatilla agency, Oregon, has
been deemed advisable, and in order
that there may be no oftermath of
the recent unpleasant disturbances in
the school economy, it has been
thought best to transfer all the pres
ent employees to new fields of duty.
This is not to be construed as a criti-
cism of the employees transferred, but
