Racing at Emeryville.

Oakland, Cal, Nov. 12,-with The
pick of the stables Of the United
States and Canada entered, the win
ter race meeting of the New Califor-
mia Jockey club opens most auspic-
iously this afternoon at the Emery
vile track. In addition to the round
dozen of rich stake renewals. the
purse values in overnight events will
be literally increased, and the horse
men are jubilant at the prospects.
Although the present meet will be
an undoubted success, there Is much
uneasiness about the future OF racing
in California. The reform bug has
invaded the Golden state and it Is
likely that the next legislature will
put a ban on oral betting. There is
also movement to Danish bookmak-
ers from the state, and to confine
betting activities to the pari-mutuel
system. It Is also possible that the
number Of days Of racing will be lin
tied. according to the system of rae
ing supervision in vogue in Ken
lucky.

LOSES
TO BAKER CITY
SCORE OF 8 TO 2 DECIDES
ANNUAL GRIDIRON GAME
One of the Closest Scores and Hard
est Fought Contests in History of
Eastern Oregon Football-Pendle-
toms Gains Not Consistent.

Pendleton high schools football
team went down to defeat by a score
of 3 to yesterday afternoon on the
Baker City gridiron in what is con-
sidered one of the closest matches
ever played between eastern Oregon
high school teams. Spectators say
Pendleton lost solely through her in
ability to boot the pigskin as far as
her opponents.
According to Pendletonians who re-
turned last night from the scene of
the disastrous conflict, the boys from
this city succeeded in carrying the
ball much further than did their op-
ponents. Practically all of the game
was paved in Baker territory, but
whenever hard pressed the Baker
punter would apply his toe to the ball
and send it far out of danger.
Because of wet field neither team
could successfully execute the for
ward pass, but the Pendleton boys
worked several trick plays for good
gains. Kimball got loose several
times for 25 yard runs, but the gains
Of the big P. Sweaters were not con-
sistent enough to carry the ball over
for a touchdown.
Pendleton's score came in the first
quarter when the ball was punnted
to the Baker ten yard line A Baker
player fumbled the catch and a Pen
dleton player, in attempting to pick
the ball up, booted 1t over the line
where a Baker man fell upon it, Civ
ing a safety to the visitors, Baker
came back in the third quarter when
goal from placement was executed
after the ball had been bucked down
the field within striking distance.
The officials OF the game were Glen
Scott Of Pendleton, formerly an Ore
gon player, and Cady Of Baker, an
old time star Of o. A. C.
Several of the team came back last
night, while the remainder arrived
today.
An effort is now being made to ar
range a game with a Portland team
or with Walla Walla high school for
Thanksgiving.

w. c. II. U. CREATES BIG
DEMAND FOR CLOVES

Baltimore. Nov. 12.-Cloves and
other "broath- killers" were in great
demand in Baltimore today. and many
occasional tipplers even climbed up
on the water wagon and donned white
ribbons as marks OF respect for the
thousands of ladies' who have come
here from all parts OF the United
States to take part in the thirty-sev-
enth national convention of the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union. A
facetious dealer in liquid refresh
ments even displayed his hospitable
spirit by putting out a sign reading.
welcome, w. C. T. u" but his wit
was not appreciated and the Offend
ing invitation was speedily removed.
Baltimore church women have
been preparing for months for the
invasion of the temperance forces. and
all the reception arrangements today
went off without hitch. The Lyric
theater has been engaged for the five
days the convention will be in ses-
sion, and special speakers will discuss
temperance subjects in nearly all the
churches Of the city tomorrow. Ex-
cursions to nearby points of interest,
such as Washington and Annapolis,
have been arranged. welcome ses-
sion will be held this evening.
Miss Lillian NJ. N. Stevens of Port
land. Me, is president Of the nation
al union. Since the organization Of
the union in 1874 1t has played a
large part in temperance activities
all over the country. and has been
largely instrumental in prohibition
campaigns in many states Ten thou
sand local unions are represented by

Who is to be the next circuit judge
Of the sixth judicial district and who
is to be the next prosecuting attor-
ney?
These are two questions which are
now foremost in the minds of local
political leaders as a result of the cleo
ton of Circuit Judge H. ]. Bean to
the supreme bench.
According to street rumor the law
firm of Phelps G. Steiwer seems to be
in line to land both positions if it so
desires. II is generally understood
that Judge Bean will resign his pres
ent office just before January first on
which day he will take the oath as a
member of the state supreme court.
1t will then divolve upon Governor
Benson, or his substitute, Acting Gov
ernor Jay Bowerman to name a sue
cessor. That the naming of this sue
cessor will not be left to West, the in.
coming democrat is foregone conclu-
sion.
Attorney Phelps can have the circuit
jUdgeship for the asking. This Is by
reason of the fact that Phelps was an
active supporter of the candidacy Of
Bowerman in the primary as well az
the general campaign, whereas VIM
ter, the other local republican candi-
date was not an active supporter of
Bowerman during the primary strug-
gle. Whether or not Phelps will ask
for the plum for himself or for his
friend, Congressman W. R. Ellis, is q
question as yet unanswered to the
satisfaction Of the public. The impress
SIGN prevails, however, that Phelps
will take the position himself.
If Phelps is made judge a vacancy
will be left in the district attorney
ship and as Deputy Prosecuting At
tcrney Frederick Steiwer is a candi-
date for the position and as he stump
ed a part of the state in behalf Of
Bowerman during the campaign just
closed, the general concensus of opfn-
ion seems to be that he is in line for
the promotion. There will be other
candidates, however, and some Of
these may arise to side-track the as
pirations of the present deputy.

COUNT LEO T0LST0|
HAS DISAPPEARED

London, Nov. 12.-The family of
Count Leo Tolstoi, distraught at his
disappearance today organized
searching party. Before leaving the
famed writer wrote his family that
he intended to retire to seclusion, ac-
cording to Moscow dispatches.
Tolstoi wrote his wife: "I cannot
longer endure a life surrounded by
luxury. Like many other old men 1
am going to retire from the world.
l contemplate a life of solitude, and
am going to ask that you do not seek
my place of sojourn or come to 1t
If 1t is discovered. I beg forgiveness
for any grief I may cause you" Many
believe the mind of the aged novelist
Is unbalanced due to his long i'll
ness. For more than a year he has
remained at his home seven miles
form st. Petersburg.

Farmers Educational and Co.
operative Union of County
Meets in City.
SESSION is PROFITABLE
AND VERY ENJOYABLE
Prominent HOrticulturists and Agri-
culturists Address Assembly Of
UmatiIla Ranchers - Diversified
Farming Is Advocated AS Better
for Farmers and Farms Than Ex-
tensive Grain Growing-Elaborate
Banquet Served.

Members Of the Farmers Educa-
tional & Cooperative Union from diff
ferent parts of Umatilla county gath
cred at the union hall in the Eagle
Woodman building today for one of
the most interesting, successful and
profitable meetings held by the union
In this city. The most pleasant part
OF the days activities was the banquet
served by the lady members of the
union.
The long table was loaded to the
fullest capacity with the best the land
affords and served as only the cooks"
Of the union are capable Of serving.
That these same cooks are experts
will be testified to by all of those
present. Chicken, cooked in most of
the ways known to chefs. salads of all
descriptions. cakes and pies and 9TH
er things disappeared like magic.
Preceding the banquet the members
OF the union held a secret business
session and following the repast an
open meeting was held
The principal speakers Of the af-
ternoon were J. L. De Moss OF Wal
la Walla, Byron Hunter OF Walla
walla and H. Umburger of Moro.
De Moss Is not only one Of the best
known growers Of fruit in the north
west but he has a national reputation
as an expert horticulturist. His re-
marks were therefore listened to with
a great deal OF interest by the UNA
tilla county tillers of the soil who
were present.
Hunter and Umburger are both
government men from the department
OF agriculture.
Hunter Is agriculturist for the
southwestern part of Washington,
while Umburger Is in charge OF the
experiment station at Moro.
Both of these men urged upon
their hearers the beneficial advantage
OF diversified farming. They endeav-
ored to convince the wheat growers
present that sooner or later 1t would
be encumbent upon them to think Of
growing something else besides wheat
II they hoped to retain the fertility
OF the soil.
The speakers both declared that
It would be better for the farmer, his
sons and his farms. IL the growers of
grain would leave more dollars in the
shape Of soil fertility in the land and
cease trying to take the dollars from
the land so rapidly.
Among those who participated In
and were responsible for the success
OF the banquet were Mr.. and Mrs. F.
A. Skies OF Milton. Mr.. and Mrs. c.
c. Connor of Helix. Mr.. and Mrs.
