Greatest Exhibition in West
viii Be During Three Days
OF District Fair.
ORGANIZATION FORMED
AND MONEY SUBSCRIBED
With Unbounded Enthusiasm Local
Business Men. Headed BY Young
Brigade" Take Up Plan for Great
Annual Celebration-ShOw Will
Draw from All Over the West -
Northwest Championship Contests.

Pendleton now has a frontier cele-
bration association and Il is going to
give an annual celebration that will
be the greaest thing of that sort ever
pulled off in the northwest. This year
the first celebration will be given
during the holding of the third dis
trict fair and it will last rnree DAYS.
Following somewhat along the lines
of the big frontier exhibitions that
are given at Cheyenne and in Denver
the local celebration will consist in
part of exhibitions of broncho riding,
steer riding, fancy roping, wild horse
races, relays and pony express races,
cavalry and artillery drills, fancy
shooting, lady races and other events
too numerous to mention at this time
For each event handsome prizes will
be given ana in each case the winner
OF an event will be given the title of
champion of the states OF Oregon,
Washington and Idaho.
Now Underway.
For weeks past a group of young
men of this city have been at work
upon the proposition of organizing a
frontier celebration. The leadership
I in the Move has been taken by j. r.
Raley, city attorney, and numerous
meetings have been held. However,
the full plan was not formally rati-
fled until last evening when at a
meeting of prominent merchants and
other enthusiasts the plan was unani-
mously adopted
At the meeting last night it was vot-
ed to call the association the North
western Frontier Celebration associa-
tion. At the time a committee con-
sisting Of Leon Cohen, Will Ingram,
Max Baer, j. H. Gwinn and a. j. Nc
Allister was named to draft articles of
Incorporation for the corporation. At
the same time it was decided to sell
stock in the company at $40 per
share and ten COMMITTEES were named
to take up the work of disposlng of
the stock
During the forenoon most of the
committeeman We're at work and be-
tween $50 and $50 shares were sold to
as many individuals. This will in
sure sufficient money to start the af-
fair ond guarantee its success. As
sNou as more STOCK ndu oCen SOlu q
meeting of the subscribers will be
held and a permanent organization
perfected.
Though the plans have not yet been
worked out it is probable that the
bali park will be used for the celebra-
ton purposes. If so it will be re-
modelled and converted into a good
stadium where the races and other
events may be held.
Much Enthusiasm.
All of those who have participated
in the preliminary meetings are full
of enthusiasm over the proposition
and predict that the enterprise will
be successful and of much benefit to
the city. Speaking OF the matter to-
day, j. r. Raley said:

eral strike was impending.
Church Troubles Alfonso.
Madrid. April 29.-The troubles of
King Alfonso and his cabinet We're
today multiplied by the introduction
of the church question into the in
dustrial situation in Spain. Premier
Canalejas in a conference with the
king today, urged drastic action
against the Vatican's demands which
are that Canaleias shall withdraw his
opposition to the church legislation.
It is believed the conference foreshad-
ows the complete disruption of rela-
tons with the Vatican. The Vatican
relies on the overthrow of the min
istry to win its point.

If the present plans can be successful
ly carried out it will do more to keep
Pendleton on the map, to bring peo-
pie here and TO send them away sat
isfied than any other form Of enter
tainment which we could give. This
is not going 10 be any ordinary "Wnd

that matter. II will be worth coming

Merchants Endorse 1t.
Among the merchants there is also
unlimited enthusiasm over the pro-
ject. Here are some random inter-
views with several leading business
men,
Il think the plan is the biggest
thing in the amusement pne that has
been suggested for the city of PEN

Says Leon Cohen of the Peoples
Warehouse: THE proposition mas my
enthusiastic support and l believe ev-
cry man in the city of Pendleton

it should be-"
j. V. Tallman is another enthusias-
tic supporter of the celebration. This
morning he said: 1T will bring more
people to the city of Pendleton than
any kind of an entertainment that
could be devised"
II showed my appreciation of this
proposition by getting out and solicit

ALARM CLOCK is
CAUSE OF DEATH.

Rockford, Ills, July 29.-The
coroner's jury today will prob
ably return a verdict on the
death of Mrs. Mary Engdahl
caused by intense excitement
superlnduced by the rattling of
an alarm clock which was plac-
ed at the head of her bed. When
the clock went off. the woman
jumped from the bed and fell
lifeless across her five year old
daughter with whom she was
sleeping. The terrified child
lay beneath the body for five
hours before her brother entered
the room and discovered the
body. Heart failure was given
as the immediate cause.

Chicago, July -9.-President
Rawn of Monon railroad was
shot by his own hand and not
murdered in his home as re-

ner's jury. The jury stated that
they were unable 20 determine
whether it was accidental or
suicide Rawn's name was men
toned in connection with the
Illinois Central car repairing
crafts. He was operating vice
president Of the line. Detectives
advance the suicidal theory bas-

That private interests are at work
to prevent the completion Of the west
ern extension of the Umatilla project
by the government was made evident
Yesterday when the Portland Journal
received a dispatch from Salem, an
nouncing that DR. Andrew c. Smith
had placed on file in the office of the
state engineer, maps covering the
proposed extension. The dispatch
went on to say that Smith said the
government was TO be prevailed upon
to abandon the project, leaving 1t to
private capital.
DR.. C. ]. Smith OF this city, who is
chairman of the committee appointed
by the Commercial association to do
what It could to secure favorable ac-
ton upon the proposed extension by
the government, said this morning
that the news was complete surprise
to him and that his committee had
not been given the slightest intima-
ton that the government contem-
plated abandoning the project.
The article in the Journal has caus-
ed much comment in this city. most
OF It unfavorable.. The general inn
preston seems to prevail that DR..
Henry w. Coe is the moving spirit be-
hind DR.. Andrew C. Smith. The two
Portland physicians are very intimat-
ely associated in a business way and
the fact that DR.. Coe is already con-
nected with projects in the west end
OF the county lends color to the ru-
NOR.
The following is the dispatch from
Salem to the Journal:
Salem, or. July 2S.-Dr Andrew c.
Smith Of Portland today placed on
file in the state engineering office here
maps covering an extension OF the
Umatllla reclamation project initiat-
ed last year by the United States gov
ernment. DIR. Smith states in his
communication that II the United
States government can be prevailed
upon to relinquish its interests, pri-
vate company, of which Mr.. Smith is
the head, will carry out the project,
This action on the part of DIR. Smith
