OPERA STAR is A FAvoRITE

Madrid, Sept. 14.-There's a pretty
little piece of gossip going the rounds
just now. which seems to show that
King Alfonso is as tickle a gay young
monarch as he is gallant. And that the
royal gallant was snubbed by the fair
dame only adds interest to the story.
The king, so the story goes, has been
extremely attentive to Julita Pons,
comic opera singer and star of the The
alter de la Comedia. 1t is even sus-
pected that the charming comedienne
was at Cowes while her royal adnirer
was attending the regatta, and that she
was one of the party on the duke of
Westminster's yacht when the king and

Thought, Constitutes Ser
ious Menace.

Washington. Sept. 14.-In the opin-
ion of students OF oriental affairs,
China is rapidly approaching u great
crisis in her history. The uprising I'M
SIZE Chicn province is expected to ex-l
tend to other neighborinS provincesy
especially 10 the soluhward, where
the Monaghan element has for many
years been opposed to the reigning
Manchu dynasty.
Evidently prepared for trouble the
Chinese government has been quick to
dispatch troops into the 'disalfected
district, and to deal With the situation
with u strong hand. 1t is believed
here that the government will be able
Ito suppress the present disturbances,
though the unforeseen and disastrous
flooding of TIL. Wang Use valley is ex-
pected to drive thousands of the un-
fortunate natives. whose. means of
support have been destroyed, into the
ranks of the revolutionists.

BY ringing resolution adopted by
the Commercial olu managers at their
weekly luncheon today that body has
gone strongly on record as fayoring
the move Of the ladies' civic club to
nave the electric and telephone wires

section.
Here is the text Of the resolution as
adopted:
The Resolution.
Whereas, The Pacific Power and
Light company through its various
names known as the Electric Light
company ana the Pacific Telephone
and Telegraph company, have enjoy
ed valuable franchises from the City
of Pendleton FOR a number of years;
and
Whereas, Each company has been
able To collect eXorbitant rates; and
Whereas, the citizens of Pendleton
have been liberal patrons of these
companies; and
Whereas, II is desirable on the part
Of the enterpris.ng citizens and those
interested in civic Improvement and
those interested in the general well
fare, so far as fires, health and safety
of the community is concerned, that
the unsightly and dangerous poles
and wires should be removed from
the chief thoroughfares and the wires
placed underground; especially is this
desirable when it is deemed best to
lfrrl..
and when it is necessary on the part
of our citizens to fight fire owing to
the fact that these wires are in the
way of our firemen ana become a
menace to the city in this respect as
well as a danger TO life;
Be 1t Resolved. BY the board of
managers of the Pendleton CONNER
cial association, that they use every
honorable means to assist the city
council in bringing about the above
mentioned protection and civic i'm
provement by placing the electric
light and Telephone Companies wires
underground.
DR.. Smith the Author.
The resolution was presented by
DR.. c. j. Smith, whc spoke briefly
but pointedly for its passage. He
declared that Pendleton is not getting
just rates on electricity even with the
reductions granted. He called at
tention to the fact that while II cents
per kilowat is to be charged here for
electricity the state university an
the state agricultural college are get
ting lectricity at two cents per kilo-
wat. He also declared that in San
Francisco electricity is being openly
advertised for sale at two and one
half cents per kilowat
