ATTENTION, FARMERS!

Every honest, upright American
citizen should declare war against the
acoursed liquor traffic. which has de-
stroyed more victims than war, fam
inc and pestilence combined. Who
can picture that horrible business in
our own country, sending its 100000
every year to drunkards' graves, be-
side the untold misery aud poverty
following in its wake? Chief Justice
Noah Davis said in the Homiletic
Review: Eighty percent OF all
grimes is due to intoxioants.
The principle of the business is
wrong. Shall we blindfold ourselves
and let this violater OF sacred law
this breeder of lust and murder
this greatest foe of mankind, slaugh-
ter our own fellow citizens. destroying
peace and happiness in homes?
Temperance people. If you ever had
an opportunity to help Your fellow
men, you will have it on November
9Th. Be sure and vote against that
nm American constitutional amend
ment, giving to cities and towns ex-
elusive power to license, control, sup
press or prohibit the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors within the municipality. "
II this amendment should pass. the
farmers right of suffrage has been
taken away from him. and cities have
the legal right to wreck the farmers
boys and girls, and tax the farmer for
court expenses. A crime in the city
affects the country as we'll, and why
should they be separate? The SOCIAL
ed HHome Rule''is a snare and de.
lusion, used by the liquor people.

Intoxicating liquors in Pendleton un-
der the new regulating license has
been made. At the regular meeting
of the council last night the applica-
tions of w. G.. Bogart. Antoine Kraft,

tin Anderson, Herman Peters, George

J. Latourelle, ]. H. Taylor, Alfred
Schneiter and II. f. Peters for saloon
licenses We're acted upon favorably
and they will be granted licenses pro-
viding the city attorney finds that
their bonds and buildings comply with
the provisions of the ordinance. The
applications of the Pendleton Drug
company, the Tallman Drug company
and F. j. Donaldson for drug store Ii
censes were also Professionally accept
ed as was that of Gus La Fontaine for
a restaurant license.
Four applications for saloon licenses
were turned down by the council the
disappointed men being Antoine Nolte.
David Jordan, J. p. Medernach and
Chris F. Stricken. The action of the
council in turning down Nolte and
Medernach came as a surprise to many
people, the most surprised probably
being those persons themselves. In
deed it is said on good authority that
so sure was Nolte of being one of the
favored few that he had had a large
supply of liquor already shipped in
| and had prepared his barroom on
| Main street ready for opening. 1t is
| said further that the reason for the
councils refusal to consider him as an
| applicant was because of the freedom
| with which he had talked about the
| ordinance and the provisions with
which he would and would not COM
| ply.
All of the successful applicants are

Philadelphia Dec. %. - Sixteen
firemen are dead, six are missing, one
policeman is dead, eight are missing,
while "a injured firemen are in hos
pitals with the likelihooN that several
will die and half a dozen bodies lie
buried beneath the zee covered ruins
of the De Friedland Leather fac
tory with exhausted fire fighters
struggling against ice and fire to
reach them.
That is the summary today of the
Philadelphia fire which started last
night and it is still burning despite
the fact that all the power and force
at the command of the Quaker city's
department has been concentrated for
hours in an effort to stop the con-
flagration.
1t is suspected that the fire was of
incendiary origin. A cursory eXami-
nation by the coroner shows the
building was fired in several places
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-12-22

The men were working inside the
building when the tank exploded. The
roof was thrown into the air and the
men crushed beneath 1t.
Those outside who escaped the
force of the concussion were over
come by the fumes.
The warehouse was four stories high
and occupied block.
Shortly after noon all the depart
ment was already out when a great
tallow house, occupying a full block,
caught fire. The stockyards are
threatened unless the wind abates.
The fire started inside the storage
room and the loss is already over
$500. 900.
At 10 o'clock a third alarm was
sounded and ten new companies were
| called out
During the morning n peef house
was consumed and the stencil of the
tons of burning meat sickened the
firemen. A number were overcome.
When the tallow house was ignited
q general alarm brought out the en-
tire department The greasy stores
turned the fire into a volcano. Thou
sands of spectators gathered but were
driven back by the police, who feared
another explosion.
Among the missing in the fire and
! who are believed dead, are Captain
Fuchs, Lieutenant Regan and seven
other members of engine company

simultaneously.
The intensely cold weather which
has prevailed for the past several
days made the work of the firemen
exceedingly difficult. The tempera-
ture was so low that it became neces-
sary to wrap the hose in blankets to
keep it from freeing. The water
froze into giant icicles without the
range of the fire and within the range
it was too hot for the firemen to work
| advantageously.
The bodies of eleven firemen were
taken from beneath the wreckage Of
the south wall, which fell on them
during the early part of the battle.
The bodies of nine policemen are yet
to be taken from beneath the debris
of the fallen north wall.
Shell Collapses.
At $3.50 this morning the remaining
shell of the factory building collapsed
burying the dead bodies of firemen
and policemen beneath additional tons
of debris. AS the tottering walls
crumbled and fell, a groan of horror
went up from the throng, which inn
mediately realized that all hopes Of
being able to identify the bodies
when recovered was now gone
The entire fire department of the
city aided by scores of city employees
has already begun the work of recov-
ering the bodies but it will probably be
several days before the thousands of
| tons of debris is removed and the last
, of the bodies recovered.
Three more bodies were recovered
from fire ruins this afternoon. One
precariously injured fireman also.

Manchester, England, Dec. ga
grand total of 235 men and boys are
dead as a result of the explosion and
fire in the Pretoria mine yesterday.
This is the estimate given out by the
mine officials today and is considered
conservative since the same officials
maintained up until this morning that
less than 500 miners were beneath the
surfaceof the earth when the dsas-
ter occurred
The. eleven employees who escaped
with their lives were on their way to
the surface when theexplosion occur
red or they would have shared the
fate of their fellows.
Rescuers who have been risking
their lives in a search for any surviv-
ors who might have found a way to
exist within the fuming shaft were
halted this morning within so feet of
the mines center on account of the
poisonous gases which drove them 70
the surface The officials announced
this morning that there is not the
smallest chance that any of the en-
tombed men will be found alive.
Second Mine Threatened.
For a time the lives of 700 men
were in jeopardy, as mine communi-
eating with the one in which the eX-
plosion occurred was also damaged by
the shock and it was some time be-
fore its 400 occupants could be reach
ed and brought to the surface.
The bodies recovered were lying
close to the mouth of the pit. In each
case death was due to asphixiation.
One of the eight miners who escap-
ed said the force of the explosion was
such that the limbs of many were
blown off.
The report was heard at points
miles distant. Tonight thousands of
persons from the surrounding country
are still gathered at the pit head. The
holiday garb of the city is being re-
placed with the emblems of mourn
