New York, Sept. 16.-President
Taft is not thinking of the 1912

sire a second nomination, according

no republican can be elected, save
probably one" The times continues,

repeated until his attitude is COM

1.-The chief idea of the president is to
fulfill his party pledges. He has
kept studied silence on political top

discouraged. Roosevelt's course un-
doubtedly has annoyed him as has
the triumph of the insurgents and
the refusal of some republican con-

Sir Mackenzie Bowella Declares Pros

ed by Reciprocity With Our COun-
try-Says United States Wants

cOurces Are Limited - Declares
Canada Could Gain Nothing.

Victoria, b. c., Sept. 16-"I think
the prosperity of Canada would be
retarded by reciprocity with the Uni
ted States, especially II that policy is
extended to manufactured articles"
said Sir Mackenzie Bowella, for Is
years a member of Canada's cabinet,
today. He said the time for reci-
procity with the United States was
past now that his country is getting
on without it. He said: "You will
remember how in 1854 the United
States repealed a reciprocity treaty
with Canada. She believed then that
Canada would be unable to find an
outlet for trade and would seek annex
alton. The United States is willing to
make concessions now. Why? Be-
cause her politicians recognize that
the United States is rapidly exhaust
ing her resources and they must fall
back on Canada for raw material. If
a reciprocity agreement is signed
what good would it do Canada? Our
raw material will be shipped to the
U. s., manufactured there and then
returned to us. What good would
capital expended there do us? None ?"

EAST END STRONG
AGAINST ASSEMBLY

That the sentiment in the east end
of the county Is almost solidly anti
assembly and pro-statement No. l Is
the declaration OF r. W. Henneman,
who came back from that section this
morning after having attended an en-
thusiastic rally at Vincent school
house. At the meeting which was web
attended, enthusiastic addresses were
made by T. B. Kay and A. M. Craw-
ford and by some eight or ten local
candidates for republican nominations.
Messrs. Shepherd and Abraham did
not go with the party to the east end
of the county.
An interesting feature of the meet
ing at Vincent was sharp colloquy
between Representative c. A. Bar
rett, statement No. / candidate for
the nomination for joint senator, and
S. F. Wilson assembly candidate for
that nomination. 1t was started when
Wilson accused Barrett of having
done all that modesty permitted
towards asking for the assembly nom-
ination himself This charge Barrett
hotly denied and defied his opponent
to produce any proof of the state
ment. The applause showed the tenn
per Of the meeting to be plainly ia
vorable to Barrett.
Among the local candidates at the
meeting and who spoke aside from the
two just mentioned were Messrs.
Henneman, Kern, Hendley, Gilliland,
S. ID. Peterson, Wellman and Cock
burn. Attorney Neil of Freewater
presided at the meeting.

AUTO les HELD
UP NEAR PORTLAND

Portland Sept. 16.-Two masked
bandits held up and robbed two par
ties of autoists just outside of Ore
gon City last night on the highway
leading to Portland and secured loot
worth several hundred dollars, then
disappeared so effectually that the
police have no clew to their identity
today. A. W. Cheney, and family of
six, were the first victims. Robbers
placed a huge plank across the road
and when the machine stopped, they
leaped out of the bushes. Cheney sur
rendered few dollars, his wife her
diamond rings and watch, valued at
5000. John Gibbon and his wife
We're next stopped at the same place.
Gibson relinquished a valuable watch
and some money and his wife her dia-
mond rings and ear rings, valued at
$3.50. They were then ordered to pro-
coed. The police believe young nov-
ices were the robbers.

PENDLETON GIRLS WILL

The cowgirl" parade with fifty
girls in costume on horseback will be
one of the big features of the West

Chairman Paul Sperry has enlisted
the services Of Deputy Sheriff George
Strand and James Sturgis for this fea-
ture and they are meeting with won-
derful success in securing girls and
women to ride. The great problem
now seems to be to find mounts for
the riders. but this problem will prob
ably be solved without difficulty.
The present plan is to have half a
hundred women on horseback, but II
horses can be secured this number
will be increased. No attempt will be
made to secure uniform costumes, but
characteristic cowboy garbs OF differ
ent kinds will be in vogue. SLOUGH

INDEPENDENT PHONE
LINE IN PEhDLET0M
COMPANY WILL ONLY
ASK FOR FRANCHISE
Representative OF Independent Tele-
phone Company In City and Says
He is Ready to Install System
Postal Telegraph VIII Also Enter.

That Pendleton will have a second
telephone company in operation and
that too within the not distant future
now seems entirely probable.
.. Morsman, an Independent tele-
phone man who is connected with
the Kellog Switchboard & Supply
company Of Chicago. arrived in the
city last night and is now comforting
with the different members of the
city council relative to a franchise.
Morsman, who has been in Pendleton
several times before, says all that he
asks from the city council is the
regulation telephone franchise and de-
clares that he will do the rest.
Morsman's plan is to put in an In
dependent telephone company, some
Of the stock in which he will expect
to sell to local people, but a large
part OF which will be sold on the out
side. According to the promoter.
Pendleton people will not be compell-
ed to do anything more than accept
better service from his company at
lower rates than they secure from the
Pacific company. Those who wish to
buy stock in the concern will be given
an opportunity to do so.
I'VE will be compelled to pass
through. or by. Pendleton with our
long distance line enroute to Portland
and we can therefore handle an ex-
change in Pendleton to advantage"
he said.
Aorsman says they have exchanges
in Spokane. Boise, La Grande, and
Baker City as well as all through Mon
tana and the middle west and he
claims that they are gradually work.
ing westward to the coast. Every
where they go connections are made
with farmer lines and all other inde-
pendent companies but the Pacific
company is regarded strictly as a rival
and competitor.
VIII Mean Rival Telegraph Company.
The coming Of the Independent tel
ephone company to this city will also
bring competition in the telegraph
business into the local field for with
the telephone company will come
the Postal Telegraph company, says
Mr.. Morsman.
Since the council several weeks ago
unanimously voted to invite outside
companies or people to apply for tele-
phone franchises in this city and since
there seems to be much dissatisfaction
with the present service. it is alto
gether probable that the franchise
will be granted. 1t will then be up
to Morsman to make good.
