Shall Pendleton clocks be set ahead
one hour?
Shall we arise one hour earlier in
the morning and retire one hour
earlier at night?
Shall residents OF this city secure
one hour more of daylight during each
day OF the summer months?
These are the questions which are
agitating the minds of scores of busi-
ness and professional men as well as
the citizens in general and which bid
fair to be answered in the affirma-
tive.
The plan is not a new one Il has
been tried successfully in England, in
Cincinnati and other cities in Ohio
and is receiving favorable considera-
ton in hundreds OF cites throughout
the United States
The proposition was presented to
the city council last night by Leon
Cohen OF the Peoples Warehouse, for
endorsement and while 1t was taken
under advisement for one week the
proposal seemed to meet with favor
at the hands of all the members,
though some were in favor of chang
Ing the hours of labor without chang
ing the clocks.
The plan has already met with the
approval of many of the merchants,
mill owners and other employers of
labor. II will be approved by the
Credit Mems association and will be
presented to the board Of managers
at their regular Friday luncheon and
the chances seem to be in favor. of its
endorsement
In presenting the plan to the coun-
ell last evening, Mr.. Cohen called at
tention to the fact that under the
present arrangement several hours OF
daylight and the best part of the day
are wasted in bed simply because our
clocks do not tell us that 1t is time to
get up. Also that during the sum-
mer months the hardest hour of the
whole day is the hour in the evening
Just before quitting time. He explain
ed that the proposed innovation would
give one more hour of labor before
the sun reached the meridian and one
hour less after II reached the meri-
dian. leaving an hour extra in the eve
ming for enjoyment of recreation of
various sorts.
The speaker insisted that we are
creatures governed by the clocks and
not by the sun, that we observe the
same hours of retiring and arising in
summer that We do in winter and that
no confusion would result from a
simple turning ahead of the clocks.
He also called attention to the fact
that baseball, tennis and other games
could be played in the evening after
closing hours and that anglers would
have more time for fishing. automo-
bilsts more time for riding. horsemen
and all others have more time for
their various forms of recreation and
insisted that we would be happier, live

continued, "he strokes the insurgent
cat, while with his left. through his
attorney general, he skins 1t alive"
Meanwhile, fellow democrats" he
said. "let us encourage among them
the practice Of reading men out Of
the republican party and into the
democratic ranks, and may the good
days of democratic harmony endure,
world without end"
The speaker declared that today
the republican machine leaders are
riding the backs of 10000 900 Ameri-
can citizens and that their ring leader
is the great apostle of privilege, Mel
son w. Aldrich."
He said that when the tariff bill was
under discussion "Mr. Taft should
have turned deaf ear to the spe-
cious pleadings of Senator Aldrich"
The latter's statement that he could
have saved $500, 900, 900 of the peo-
pies money every year, Mr.. Harrison
held, was a strong indictment of the
republican party

quarters that the poison has been
thrown to the dogs in their yards
While the dogs which have been
suffering at the hands of the poisoner
have been those of value and upon
which the license fee of three or six
dollars had been paid, the troubles of
the ownerless and worthless CANNES
are scheduled to commence tomor-
row. That is the day on which Tom
Hart, the famous dog catcher, has
been notified to appear and get busy.
II he succeeds one-half as well as the
poisoner has. the number of dogs in
Pendleton will be less than for a num-
ber of years. During the past few
weeks there has been a noticeable de-
probation in the number of dogs seen
on the streets, Notwithstanding the
fact that comparatively few licenses
have been paid. Many dogs have been
sent to friends in the country while
still others are being hid in wood
sheds and cellars.
The officers say, however, that It
will be useless for anyone to attempt
to hide dogs for the licenses must be
paid on every dog kept In the city.

The plan is TO have the games called
at $50 and to play until victory is
won or darkness calls a halt.
While the proposition is new in
Pendleton Il has been tried and found
very successful in Salem and other
coast cities. It not only affords re-
creation for a large number of clti-
zens but also amusement for several
hundred more during the long sum-
mer evenings. The class Of ball play
ed may not be comparable with that

safe wager that a great deal more
of real simon pure enjoyment will be

plications for games.

The Santa Clara left Eureka at
2:05 o'clock yesterday afternoon and
proceeded south. When about four

Ground and start back.
1t was at this time that a wire-
less message came from the steamer
to the local agent of the company
John simpson, requesting that a tug
be sent To her assistance Simpson
replied by asking what the trouble
was and wireless answer was re-
ceived stating that Santa Clara struck
heavily in crossing the bar and was
leaking badly. Following that no fur
ther communication could be had with
her. 1t is supposed that her seams
opened, letting in enough water to
put out the fires.
When about one mile south of
Table Bluff and mile off shore, the
steamer dropped anchor. To those in
the wireless station and lighthouse, it
was apparent that the vessel was bad

Pendleton is to have a city "Twi-

foot materiallze and there is every
reason to believe that they will. The
plan is to form a league of city teams
and to arrange for a series of games
to be played throughout the summer
four or five evenings during the week.
From present appearances there
will be at least four teams in the
league to start off with and II is prob
able that there will be as many as
six. The complete plans have not yet
been worked out hut probably will
within the next few days so that the
season can be opened about the first

sured are THE Printers" Counter

The reward of $3.50 which was Of
fered recently for the apprehension
of the person who has been poison
ing dogs on the North Side of the
river has been increased to $500 by
Doctor C. ]. Smith, who lost highly
priced pet yesterday. DR.. Smith also
looked up the law and finds that the
punishment therein provided for such
offenses is imprisonment in the pen
itentiary for from six months to three
years and he is in favor OF sending
this person up for three years for each
dog killed. This would insure the
creatures staying behind the bars for
from rs to 100 years.
Owing to the condition of affairs
prevailing in the realms of dogdom,
many OF the most highly priced can

longer and be better people by rea-
son of the change.
e. ]. Burke of the Pendleton Scour-
ing Mills, Is also one of the most en-
thusiastic supporters of the plan.
About the only objection that has
been raised is that the difference in
town and railroad time would cause
confusion. These objectors are In
favor of conserving the daylight
scheme. but think II could be accom-
plished just as well by leaving the
clocks as they are and by simply fix
ing the hours of labor one hour ear
lier. They would go to work at seven
instead of eight and quit at four in
stead of five. They would eat lunch
at IL o'clock and dinner at five in
stead of 12 and as at present. The
promoters of the new plan however,
declare that it has been demonstrate
ed that the best results have been OBJ
tanned in the other places where 1t
has been tried, by turning the clocks
ahead and allowing the hours of la
Dor to remain as they are at present.
Pendleton time would therefore be
just one hour ahead of the sun and
railroad time.
No one has yet been found who OBJ
jects to the plan of saving this ex-
ira hour of daylight, the only objec-
tion is in the manner in which it is to
be brought about and for that rea-
son 1t seems assured that some plan
Will be worked out.
The proposition as presented by Mr..
Cohen last evening provides for it's
going into effect May l and rema ming
in effect until October l. This is the
period in which the change of time
has been made effective in other
places.
