When the Pendreton , Commercial
association holds its monthly meeting
next Tuesday evening the subject of
making a protest against the failure
of the government to devote more
money for reclamation work in Ore
gon will be up for consideration and
in all probability steps toward MAX

Already the Portland Commercial
club has set the ball to rolling by
voicing a protest over the failure of
the president to order the extension

en- encouragement to local men who
have been enthusiastic for the extern
sion and has filled them with a desire
to join the move.
d. c. Brownell of Umatilla, has
been in the city today and has been
discussing this subject with members
of the Commercial club committee
that worked for the extension and
with others.

people to keep busy on the subject,
says the doctor. "It is up to thos'
people to take up this fight and SCI

With a vociferous shout of Let 'er
buck" which made the halls Of the
Commercial club ring, the Matlock
tract in the west end of the city was
decided on by the stockholders of the
Roundup association last night as the
site for the stadium in which to hold
the annual wild west show, and so
overwhelming was the majority in Ia
vor of it that the vote was at once
made unanimous. The vote was on
a motion made by Attorney Dan z.
Smythe that the Matlock grounds be
purchased for $4,000 and was taken
at the close of a half hours discus
sion most of which was in favor or
the lower site, the city tract in the
east end having but few advocates.
The Matlock grounds comprise in
all seventeen acres which is about
three times as much ground as lay
within the enclosure at the last
Roundup. Its east boundary is two
blocks nearer Main street than the
| present ball park and it runs west
/ to the railroad ''Y" and north across
| the river to the mill race. Thus y
can be seen that there is plenty or
room in which to construct a large

Hundred Stockholders Present.

There were over hundred of the
stockholders in attendance at the
meeting and all displayed much inter-
est in the matter before the associa-
ton. The report of the committee
appointed to secure data on sites for
a permanent park was read and ac-
cepted. This report showed that the
difference in cost involved in the Sc
lection of the Matlock tract would be
the purchase price of $4,000, all other
expenses being about equal. The rec
concentrations of the physicians for
the prevention of the contamination
of the city's water supply in case the
upper site should be chosen were
read and showed that extreme care
would have to be exercised by the
Roundup association.

The Discussion.

George Hartman, chairman of the
finance committee, started the dis

the directors and board of control
which was to the effect that the Mat
lock grounds were preferable from
all standpoints. However, he explain
ed, that the success of the Roundup
was the only end which the officers
had in view and that, should the
stockholders decide in favor of the
city tract, they would work just as
hard for the show as If their recon-
mendation were adopted.
1t was following Hartman's talk
that Smythe made his motion in or
der to get the matter directly before

PecOs, Texas, Nov. 12-Concerning
the report from San Antonio that r. ].
Herbert of London, when in San An
tonic last week, stated that he had
made arrangements with c. s. Young,
local promoter, to build the Bonita Val.
ley, London BANKERS to finance it, more
talk has been brought up here regard
ing the proposed Palacios San Antonio
and Pecos Valley railroad. A letter has
been received in Pecos from general
manager H w. Drew stating that engt-
neerS of the company were at work be.
tween Palacios and Edna and were
pushing on westward as rapidly as pos.
sible. General manager Drew stated
that the prospective western terminus
was Pecos. 1t is understood that the
same parties are back of both lines,
though separate incorporation papers
have been issued.
This line will be about $50 miles long
and will give the Pecos Valley direct
connection with the Gulf of Mexico at
Palacios, and will pass through from
San Antonio westward the following
towns, all of which are county seat
towns: Boerne, Kerrville, Junction City,
Sonora, Ozona and Fort Stockton. 1t
will open up a vast stretch of very fer
tile territory, much of which is now be-
ing colonized and it should be a trunk
line of considerable magnitude.
