This new hat means that horses, who

Incidentally the woman in this queer lid

LIGHTING RIVALS
ENGAGE IN WAR
EDISON AND l.. A. COMPANIES
FIGHT FOR TERRITORY
TWO CONCERNS PUT GANGS IN
FIELD AT SAME TIME
Growth of Agricultural Park and Ver=
mont Square Sections Causes Cor
porations to Become Bitter
Contestants

Digging post holes and setting poles
hastily two forces of men employed py
rival companies almost came TO DloWS
several times yesterday in the Vermont
Square tract and the large tract, owned
by the Los Angeles Investment COM
pany, which lies south and west OF
Agricultural park.
The war of poles and holes began
Saturday. 1t is between the Edison
Electric company and the Los Angeles
Gas and Electric company, both cor
porations trying to get into the terri
tory first. Every team and all the men
they could command were placed in the
field early Saturday morning and all
day, part of the night and all of yes
terday these forces worked vigorously
to set as many polise as possible. The
poles placed cover an area a mile long
and half of a mile wide.
Each company claims to have been
first in the field, and the probabilities
are the question never will be deter
mined satisfactorily unless the courts
are called on to decide the question of
priority.
Several times yesterday, when the
men were working almost side by side,
with only the width of an alley way
between them, a personal encounter
was aVerted narrowly. Once the men
of one company got the pole of another
and had set it i'm an upright position
before the mistake was detected. This
called for considerable parleying and
the two forces almost came to blows.
1t is said there is a tacit agreement
between the two companies that the
one which secures first a territory for
the purpose of erecting poles and
stringing wires for lighting shall have
the right to that territory, to the eX-
clusion of the other, unless some COM
promise agreement can be reached.
Seek Territorial Conquest
For weeks both companies have been
planning secretly this territorial con-
quest. 1t is believed each learned of
the others plans and prepared to get
into the territory between two suns.
of poles delivered on the streets of the
tract, and hole diggers it is said,
worked at night so the men could be-
gin placing poles by the break of day.
Inasmuch as the Vermont Square and
other tracts are being rapidly settled
the public service companies have
looked on them with covetous eyes and
each planned coup by which it
calculated to pre-empt the field.
Several hundred poles were set by
each of the companies and the territory
is only about half covered. In some
instances the poles are within a few
feet of one another.
1t is not improbable the city may be-
come involved in the war on account of
the space occupied by the poles and
the multiplicity of wires. The warning
companies, however, will insist on their
rights under the agreement and each
will claim to have invaded the field
first. There was considerable excite
ment in the neighborhood yesterday,
and a clash was expected any time.

CLERGYMAN SCORES
GAMBLERS IN GRAIN
Rev. E. A. Cantrell Says Ministers in
Ten Thousand Pulpits Should
Unite Voices in Con-
demnaton

Patten and his amazing stock market
operations which raised the price of
bread beyond the reach of many poor
persons throughout the country, were
severely criticized yesterday by Rev.
Edward Adams Cantrell in an address
on The Religion of All Good Men,"
delivered in Mammoth hall. He said
in part:
"The religion of all good men, on its
intellectual side, excludes no known
fact 1t is friendly to all research, and
welcomes every discovery that broad
ems the intellectual horizon of the race
On it's moral side it is sociological
rather than theological Scorning
many things that have been accepted,
and accepting many things that have
been scorned, it asks but one question:
What effect will this thing have on
human life?
Merely Gamblers Ring

were selling in New York city for tif-

stand in ten thousand pulpits, and with

a vigilance committee that would go
out and clean up the whole criminal
gang.
Crime Against Humanity
This may sound extreme, but when
you consider that such corner ON

may result in more deaths than We're
caused by some of the Napoleonie
campaigns; when you consider that the
game goes on with repeated moves,

could make them like Whiplashes to
the backs of the religious world.
The religion that tolerates and the
government that permits such things
can not stand. The religion of all good

women, the play and laughter of chill

and it was intimated by Judge Fee
that an effort will be made to con-
meet her with the train wrecking at
Meacham several years ago, in which
one man lost his life.
While Knox was on the stand he
was subjected to a series of ques-
tions by Attorney Fee which, while
probably not conforming strictly to
rules of practice, served to interest
the few spectators present. The Wes-
ton attorney was asked if he had not
been accused of stealing chickens and
of fishing for chickens over a fence.
To these questions Knox entered Wig
orous denials.
Louis Christensen was next placed
on the stand by Mrs. Warner, He did
not pretend to know anything con-
cerning the will in dispute, with the
exception that he did know the hand
writing of ]. w. Young when he saw
it, and he declared the signature Of
the old man on the document was
genuine.
Christensen was kept on the stand
until this forenoon, when he was sue
ceeded by George W. Proebstel, who
is still answering questions on cross
examination. He has identified ledg-
ers and other business books alleged
to have been the property of Mrs.
Young, and he has also stated that
in his opinion the signature of ]. W.
Young appearing on the will in ques-
ton is genuine.

CHLOE STANF|ELD..''
WILL Be QUEEN

Stanfield, the youngest town in the
county and in this part of the state,
showed much evidence of life last
evening when its residents won out in
the contest for queen of the UNA
tilla county float at the rose show
Miss Chloe Stanfield, of the new lit
tic town, was chosen as queen in a
contest that was a walkaway.
As previously announced the last of
the voting for the contest was done in
the rooms Of the Commercial associ-
alton and the ballot was closed at
$3.50. When the votes were counted 1t
was found that Miss Stanfield had a
total of $50 votes while Miss Hazel
RAIDER, the closest competitor, had
3O3. Miss Georgia Stewart was third
with 1853 votes. The remaining votes
were scattered among the half dozen
contestants from different parts Of
the county.
Having been chosen as queen of the
Umatilla county float Miss Stanfield
will now have the honor of riding in
the float during the big evening pa
rade of the rose show. This parade
promises to be the greatest spectacle
of the week and perhaps the greatest
demonstration Of the kind ever made
in the northwest.
