Are For Good Roads.

The Commercial club of Hutch
insOn is certainly for good roads.
They have had a number of road
dragS built, and every farmer liv-
ing within five miles of that city,
who will agree to drag the roads
leading into town, is given one of
these .drags free. This is boosting
for good roads with a vengeance,
and is the right way to go at it.
Miles of good roads in Bar
tOn county, could be made very
much better by the use of a drag
We have a law the intent of which
was to get the dragging done, an,
township officers, or the citizens
if the. former neglect their duty
in this regard, should see that i
is applied and not made a deaC
letter by not using it.

l N. Woodward, a former resi-
dent of this city, is here from his
home at Waynoka, Okla. This is
his first visit in six years. Mrs.
Woodward was brought to the st.
Rose hospital a few days ago to
have an operation performed. She
is getting along fine. The son
who lives on a farm near Speare-
vile, was here with his mother
Sunday. Herbert, another son, is
at WaynOka where Mr.. Woodward
has charge of the telephone ex-
change. Horace, another son, is
at Woodward, also with an ex-
change. Mette is at home, and
Helen, who is married, is at Hig-
gins, Texas, where her husband is
connected with the exchange. Mr.
Woodward is much impressed will
the improvements which have tax
en- place in our city in the past
six years. 1t looks considerably
like another town to him now.

The action Of County Superin-
'endent Opie in changing the
boundary line of school district
26, on the south side Of the river,
by detaching therefrOm the south
east quarter of 2O-2O-13, does not
meet with the approval Of some OF
the patrons of the district, in con-
sequence of which they have filed
an appeal with the County Com
missiOnerS which will be heard on
the second day of the August SEES
sion of the board. The reasons
given by the appellants for max
ing the appeal is as follows:
1st. The owner Of the land in
question, Mr.. Samuel BrOugher,
objects to the change.
End. The change so weakens
school district No. 26 that it makes
it difficult to support a good
school.
Ord. Such change will encourage
other parties similarly located to
attempt to leave the district.
4th. We feel that the county
superintendent has favored tn
other district at our expense.

signed residents and tax payer!

BIG HIGH SCHOOL
DEBATE ON FRIDAY
LOCALS TO CONTEST VIII
WHEELER COUNTY HIGH
Outcome VIII Decide Which Team
VIII Meet Winner of la Grande-
Baker Debate for Championship of
Eastern Orcgon-Commission Plan
VIII BE Question.

All interest in high school circles is
now being centered on the approach
ing debate with the Wheeler county
high school which will occur in the
Methodist church i'm this city next
Friday evening. The Fossil team has
won the championship of the central
eastern part of the state; Pendleton
has defeated Weston and Athena and
the coming contest will be to decide
which team is to have the honor of
contesting with the winner of the Ba-
ker-La Grande debate for the cham
pionship of eastern Oregon.
Baker City and La Grande teams
have already had a double contest.
but this resulted in tie and the de-
bate which is to be held in La Grande
Friday evening between these two
schools will be for the purpose of
ending the tie. Owing to the great
distance which the Pendleton and
Wheeler county teams would be COM
PEELED to travel it was decided to only
have the single contest. Even then
1T will be difficult for the local school
TO meet the expense of bringing the
visiting team to Pendleton and it will
be necessary for the city to give the
event unstinted support.
After the splendid showing made
by the local team last year in coming
within one of winning the state cham
pionship. the students and members
of the faculty feel that they have
earned the support which is necessary
and they look for a crowd that will
fill the big church to the limit.
The three strongest debaters in the
high school have been selected for
this contest, They are Peter Crock
EFT. leader; Pansy Ireland. first col
league; James Hartwell. second coll
league. The question to be discussed
is, Resolved, That the commission
plan of city government insures an
increase of efficiency and a decrease
of corruption in city offices.
one of the judges will be the Rev.

anxious to regain possession of the
samples. If such was the purpose of
the housebreaking the effort was in

There is great excitement in local

some of the cigar stores have been
permitting gambling, that the pool

That District Attorney Phelps had

having them tested at the high school
laboratory yesterday by skilled chem

some one broke into the laboratory,

months" as Kermit expressed it, Col.
Roosevelt appeared today with his
wife. son and daughter for a motor
trip about the town. They spent con-
siderable time at Gordon college but
wherever they went today the Col
onel was the center of interest to great
throngs.
Greeted by VOlley of Cheers.
Shortly after o'clock yesterday
afternoon the steamer came up slowly
70 the palace dock, amid a continuous
volleying of cheers. Colonel Roose-
welt was warmly greeted by Major
General Sir Randolph, Baron Slatin
Pacha, inspector general, and by Ma
jor P. X. Phypps, the sadar's private
secretary. He and the other members
of the party were conducted to the
palace grounds, where the heads of
various governmental departments
were introduced, and tea was served.
The sidars palace is situated in the
center of six acres of beautiful gar
dens. 1t stands on the site of Cor
don's palace, on the steps of which
Gordon was done to death.
After tea the colonel and his son
crossed the river to the Khartouln

able pest.
The bag included nine white rhirfo-
ceros, which are exceptionally rare
and three giant Glands.
The Glands were such magnificent
specimens that the colonel expressed
greater pleasure at securing them
than at any other trophies.
Colonel Roosevelt was much inter-
ested in the Uganda missions and
spoke in high terms of the Lado en-
clave which he visited.

that the tax is not a direct tax on
property. as is asserted. He says it is

The law provides that no one under
the age Of 21 years will be permitted
to play in these places and though
District Attorney Phelps will make no
statement, it is presumed that he is
determined to carry out the promise
made some time ago when he request
ed that the provisions Of the law be
published and stated that he would
insist that the law be enforced 1t Is
said that few if any Of the pool rooms
paid any attention to his warning.
1t also seems apparent from the
witnesses examined today that Dis
trict Attorney Phelps is having the
grand jury look into the reported ci-
gar store gambling as well as the pro-
fessonal gambling which has been
carried on for larger stakes behind
closed doors or in upper rooms There
is consequently much anxiety being
manifested on the part OF the pro-
prietors of places where It is reported
that games for small stakes have been

the general strike of twenty-five thou
sand firemen has been called by Off
cials of the brotherhood, it appears
probable today that the actual walk
out of the men will not be ordered be-
fore the end of the week. The delay
is for the purpose of allowing the
Pacific coast union officials to reach
home to direct operations there. The
date viii be announced late today.
The decision to strike was reached
at midnight following the rejection Of
the firemen's demands by general
managers.
Apparently the only hope of pre-
venting a strike is federal interven-
tion. The railroads have telegraphed
request to Chairman Knapp of the

against a shifty boxer, Baldwin. Hy-
