RELIGIOUS CONTROVERSY
OVER IN WALLA WALLA

Walla Walla, Feb. 17.-Local min
listers have had the opportunity OF
seeing themselves as others see them
this week, and they are not particu-
larly pleased. Instead of having men
wait at the door to tell them what fine
sermons they delivered, they found
one who says they preach too much
about platitudes and give such long
winded discourses that only women
and Children care to listen.
These remarks were made by Jesse
Ferney proprietor of printing shop
here. He spoke on "Why the Man
Of To-day Does not Belong to One
Church or Another" and he has the
ministers thinking.
Next Sunday the ministers will
probably have their innings and will
likely send some hot ones over, but
to date Ferney is the onIy man who
has scored and the audience-in this
case the church-golng as well as the
non-church-going-is waiting.
Ferney declares that the church
as we'll as the newspapers, have filled
the minds of the people with the idea
that money was the one thing to work
for. because they pander to people
with money. Until recently the church
has had no part in the affairs of the
everyday world. Ferney asks, us 1t
not possible that the churches have
been holding onto theories which
modern students have found to be
erroneous and which are not adapt
ed to our Christian life today?"

GIRLS BASKETBALL GAME.
Walla Walla Nigh to Play Pendleton
High Friday Night i'm This City.

(High School Correspondence.)
The girls teams representing Walla
Walla High and Pendleton High will
decide the championship of this dis
trict Friday evening on the floor of
the high school gym. A fast game
is expected and there is much inter-
est centered on the result. Both
teams play girls rules, which insures
clean and interesting performance.
Many people objected to last years
game on account Of roughness, but
this has been entirely eliminated by
the great changes in the rules Here
tofore a girls game was looked upon
as slow and uninteresting game, but
now they are better drawing cards
than the boys games.
The local team has been defeated
but once this year and this at the
hands of Walla Walla high. The game
was played in Walla Walla under
very adverse conditions to the local
team. 1t is hoped that last years
performance can be repeated as last
year the local team lost in Walla Wal
la. but when the return game was
played Walla Walla went home with
the little end of the score.
The Walla Walla team will arrive
tomorrow morning and come conf
dent of victory. Their lineup will be
as follows:
Centers,' McRae sisters; forwards,
Irene Steele and Marguerite Hunt;
guards, Marguerite Whitney and Lot
tie Wright. The team will be ac-
companied by Miss Armstrong as
chaperone and coach.
Pendleton will lineup as follows:
Centers, Lucille RAIDER and Blanche
Bailey; forwards, Laura Mckee and
Hazel RAIDER; guards, Grace Bean and
Ella Lazinka. Gladys Hamley, Muriel
Sailing and Francis Sailing will act as
substitutes Mr.. Groenwald, the pop

DEAF AND BLIND.
Chinaman Unable to Pay Up Debts Is
Stricken

Astoria, Ore.-Instanclng the hor-
rible consequences that follow a
breach of the racial custom of IL
quidating debts at the New Year sea-
son, Me Jim John, for 81 years one
of the leading Chinese merchants OF
this city. tells the tragic story of a
man named Wah.
Wah came here when a mere boy
and was naturally bright. He be-
came a house servant and rapidly
learned English. Later he engaged
in business and was a power in the
Chinese colony. The gambling fever
gripped him, though, and he became
a slave to the habit. Soon all his mon
ey was gone.
Three years ago at the New Year
season for the first time in his life
Wah was unable to pay his debts. and
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-02-17

according to custom he became an
outcast. Next year he was In the same
position financially. and soon after his
hearing began to fail. Last year he
again had no money. and soon after
New Year celebration ended he be-
gan to lose his sight. Now he Is to-
tally blind.
This year Wah had no money and
what will happen to him after the
celebration closes is a matter of con-
lecture. Although Me Jim John
would not admit it as the truth, the
impression prevails that Wah is be-
ing tortured In manner white people
do not know, as an example to the
Chinese of what they may expect II
they fail to pay their debts at the
first of their year.
There are fewer Cinnamon in AS
toria than in former years and the
celebration lacks something OF It's
usual gorgeousness and prodigality
Although the Chinese here have been
generally prosperous during the past
year the enthusiasm Of the New Year
season is not upon them.

MINING OPERATIONS INCREASING.
c. H. Lamb Reports Conditions at JAR
bidge Improving.

G. HI. Lamb, manager of the Jar
bidge-Bourne Extension Co., and one
of the most widely and favorably-
known mining men operating in the
Jarbidge district, returned to Twin
Falls Wednesday afternoon Speaking
of the conditions at Jarbidge, Mr.
Lamb said:
The past two weeks has witnessed
great exodus from the camp of la
boring men, sheepherders and all that
class of transients who follow mining
booms looking for the easy money.
There has, however, been almost as
many going in as coming out, and the
former are the substantial class, in
vestors, and legitimate mining men
with capital to back them
There is more actual development
work being done now than at any time
during the winter and Jarbidge seems
to have settled down to the work OF
showing up its properties.
Just before | left some very high
grade ore was struck in the western
cross-cut of the Bourne tunnel, and an
ore surface exposed which will aver
age twenty-five or twenty-three dol
lars across a width of twenty feet"

TRl.NG TO QUIET ROOSEVELT
Attempt Made to Get Him Out of Pres
idential Running.

Washington, April Theodore
Roosevelt for United States senator,
as successor to Chauncey M. Depew
This is the way the political pro-
phets and wiseacres in Washington
have the situation in New York state
figured out today They arrived at
this conclusion from many different
viewpoints and there is apparently a
concensus of opinion that this sugges-
ton offers solution to the multitude
of problems confronting the Republic
can party, not only in the empire
state but the nation at large.
In the general discussion of the sit
uation growing out of the appointment
of Governor Hughes to the supreme
court bench, it has already been
agreed that his retirement from poll
tics leaves Colonel Roosevelt as pro-
bable dictator of the party in New
York state. Party leaders in Washing
ton realize, and they believe Mr..
Roosevelt will come to realize the
same thing, that the exigencies in New
York demand a strong factor in the
race next fall If the Republicans are
to gain success at the polls.
With Roosevelt as candidate for
senator, it is predicted, the Republican
party would easily retain control of
the legislature and that Roosevelt S
personality in the campaign would
bring success to the entire state ticket

KILLING WORK
The HALEY Land Officials Cannot
Stand 1t and Live.

The 18th inst Fred c. Bradley, the
receiver of public moneys in the Unit
ed States land Office in this city, sent
his resignation to Washington, D. c.,
to take effect as soon as his successor
is elected and qualified.
The reason given by Mr.. Bradley for
his resignation is the insufficiency of
the assistance allowed the Office.
The Times is informed on good au-
thority that Presley F. Horne, the
register of the same office, will be
compelled to resign unless he secures
relief at an early date.
Since the various openings in the
Irrigated Empire there has been more
business transacted by the United
States land Office at HALEY in one day
than the Office used to be expected to
do in one year.
During the first 20 days of the cur
rent month, for instance, the cash re-
ceipts have totaled $S4,66431
They are expected to reach 100000
in few days.-Wood River Weekly

Charles Phelps, who murdered John
Egan in Salt Lake fifteen years ago,
and murderer of Heber Wells at Poca-
tello, Ida, for which he served com
paratively short terms in the Utah
penitentiary and that Of Idaho, is be-
ing hunted for a murderous assault
upon John May in a card game at the
Pastime saloon, Bull, Ida, on March
Pastime Pool hall, Bull, Ida, on
March 20.
Possessed of his old-time desperado-
ism, Phelps headed a gang of thieves
and highwaymen into Bull early in
March to prey upon goldseekers trav-
cling into the new mining camps at
Jarbirge. Several members of the gang
are said to have been imported from
Salt Lake by Phelps, who since his
pardon from the Utah state prison has
been known as the high priest Of in
ter-mountain yeggmen, skillfully evad-
ing the authorities.
Phelps was in Salt Lake last Sep
TENDER and took a gang of despera-
does, who had been in hiding in this
city, to Elko, New, where they COM
mitted scores of burglaries and hold
ups. To escape Nevada authorities
the gang returned to Salt Lake, with
Phelps making Twin Falls, da., his
headquarters. His latest attempt to
organize a gang to prey upon Jarbidge
goldseekers at first is said to have
been in hiding in a retreat twenty
miles out of Bull, on the Jarbidge
trial.

came into Bull, with his pockets bulg-
ing with money, believed to have been
stolen from goldseekers, and entered
into card game at the Pastime pool
room in Bull. He played against John
May, who seemed to be unusually
lucky, and who soon had much of
Phelps loot in his pockets. Phelps
became enraged and, leaping upon
May, stabbed him several times in the
abdomen with a dirk Then forcing
other inmates of the gambling den to
hold up their hands, Phelps made his
escape.
Phelps first known murder was in
Salt Lake when he was a bartender at
the old Senate saloon. John Egan,
who was believed to have considerable
money, called for glass of beer. As
sisted by Jesse Mcmillan, Phelps put
deadly poison in the glass and Egan
dropped to the floor unconscious. He
died shortly after Phelps and McMil-
Ian had relieved him of his wealth.
Phelps had hosts of friends who
could muster influence for his pardon
from the penitentiary after he had
served but a few years of life SEN
tence. His comrade, Mcmillan, was
sentenced to serve twenty years, but
was also pardoned after a brief per-
iod-Salt Lake Herald-Republican.
