MISS IDA BOYD GOES
TO UNIVERSITY CITY

Miss Ida Boyd. prominent local wo-
man and enthusiastic worker for the
American Woman's League, has been
honored through being selected to a
responsible position at the league
headquarters, University City, St.
Louis. Miss Boyd is preparing to leave
Tor st. Louis to take up the work
there and will get away within a few
days.
For many months past Miss Boyd
has been Jealous worker in the A.
W. l. and she has been the leader in
the local chapter Though regretting
that her appointment will take her
away from Pendleton other members
ol the league feel gratified over the
appointment of a local member to the
position in question.
There is also rejoicing in Woman,s
League circles over the victory of p
u. Lewis over the people who were
seeking to prosecute him for alleged
misuse of the mails in connection with
MS enterprises. While Lewis was
under indictment most of the league
membership retained faith in his in
tegrlty and they now point to his vim
as proving the soundness of
their judgment.

1st BASKETBALL
GAME TOMORROW

Tomorrow night in the high school
gymnasium the first interscholastic
game of basketball of the series
which will decide the champ 'onship
of eastern Oregon, will be played, the
contesting teams to be those repre-
senting the Pendleton h gh school and
Columbia College, Jr, of Milton. Last
year the local school captured the
championship by going through the
season without defeat, and although
two of that star quintet were lost by
graduation, the boys have hopes of
duplicating their record of this year.
Boylen. the whirlwind forward and
captain last year, and Art Jordan,
one of the famous Jordan brother
guards, both finished their high
school careers last spring, but Chap
man, forward, Houser, center, and
Cliff Jordan, guard are all back in
the game. In addition, Sturdivant,
star forward two years ago. is in
school AGAIN and will probably be in
the regular lineup, while Fee, Strain
and several other speedy substitutes OF
last year, are showing great form and
will be strong bidders for team plac-
eS
Columbia College has always turn
ed out a splendid basketball team and
reports from Milton are to the effect
that this year is no exception, so tho
game tomorrow night is arousing
much interest.

CL0THESLINE THIEF
OPERATING IN CITY

Housewives Of the city who set val
ue upon their bed and table linens,
the.r underwear and other pieces of
wearing apparel, will do well these
days to take their washing in at
nights or else set a guard over their
lines. An epidemic of clothesline
robberies during the past few weeks
makes such precautions necessary to
insure safety to the clean white pieces
of cloth with which industrious la
dies are wont to adorn their back
yards each week.
No less than six cases of such pet
ty thievery have been reported dur
ing the week or so, while it is more
than probable that there are many
cases which have not become general
ly known.
The clothe line at the home of An
dy Rust of West Alta street has been
ra ded twice recently. on the first
occasion three entire lines being strip
ped of their bearings and on the sec
ond Mrs. Allen Peterson. who stayed
at the Rust home. losing many baby
clothes and ladies' underwear.
Other sufferers of similar depreda-
tons are Mrs Henry Arbogast on
West Bluff street, Mrs. Harry O'De!l
on West Alta, and Mrs. Rankin on
Cosbie street
Most of the cases reported show
that the thieves exercise d scrmina-
ton in their selectin of articles from
the line, ladies' and children's un-
derwear seeming to be the most pref
cradle. In several instances mems
underwear has been thrown on the
ground, showing that the thieves,
whoever they are. have no use for
such raiment. Table clothes and bed
sheets have also been taken and the
indications are that the work is being
done by or for women.

GOVERNOR
BECOMES A CONVICT
Sentences Self to Penitentiary i'm Or
der TO Study Conditions of
State Prisoners.

Nashville, Tenn. Dec. 21.-In or
der that he might study prison con-
ditions at first hand, Governor Hoop
er, newly elected chief executive of
Tennessee, yesterday sentenced him
self to term of two days in the state
penitentiary.
Last night the governor occupied a
cell alongside criminals of all classes.
Early this morning he was reused out
with the other prisoners, rushed
through the days preliminaries of
washing his face and hands in a tin
pail of water, eating his breakfast, of
regulation prison fare, from a tin
plate, after which he was put to work
and treated as the most lowly convict
in the prison.
This melodramatic act on the part
or the governor was the outcome of
his campaign promise to be more care
ful in pardoning state convicts, which
was the one thing that enabled him
to defeat Governor Patterson, who
was charged with being too lenient
with the prisoners, many of whom
were liberated during his term.

In Message on Treasury
Condition, Outlines Need
ed Legislation.
BANKING SYSTEM UPHELD
recommends Extension of Postal
Savings Banks, Parcels Post for Ru-
raj Districts and Government of
Panama by President.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 21.-Pres-
ident Taft sent message to congress
today on the financial condition of the
treasury, needed banking currency
reforms and departmental questions
which the message said the finances
stood close to.
The message referred particularly
to monetary reforms, declaring that
the monetary comm ssion's report
would be presented to congress in the
near future.
Referring to the central bank plan,
the me sage says:
1T is unfortunate that the wise
and undisputed policy of maintain
| ing unchanged the main features of
the banking system rendered it i'm
possible to introduce the central bank
for the central bank would certainly
be resisted and the plan in which it
could have been introduced probably
would have been defeated. For the
fiscal year, ending in June, the ordi-
nary receipts, exclusive of postal rev.
enues, were $701,372,374 and the dis
Oursemen $6541 147,907.
He urged prompt action on the
monetary commissions report and
legis alton TO govern the Panama ca
nal zone. advocating government
| throughSAthe authority efsthe presi-
dent, the enactment of a employers
liability bill, the extension of the pos
| tai savings banks and the enactment
of rural parcel post law which he
says, would benefit business and all
the people.
Referring to the army reorga MIA
ton bill, the president says he favors
an army service corps and opposes
any plan which would interfere in
the central principles and detailed
system in the staff corps, concluding
that he favors the exclu sion of local
federal officers, of the nation, from
politics and advocates placing them
in classified service.

C0USE CREEK ROAD
IS FURTHER DELAYED
County Court Makes Two Errors i'm
Procedure and Must DO
Worlq Over.

BY an opinion handed down today
by Judge G.. w. Phelps in the case of
Highly H2rris VS.. Umatilla county,
which was in the circuit court on a
writ of review, the county court will
be forced to do over again certain
work done towards securing the
Couse Creek road. near Milton, petit
toned foS by one group of people and
demonstrated against by another.
In sustaining the writ, Judge
Phelps upheld two OF the alleged err
rors in the proceedings of the county
court. namely, that the court did not
fix time and place for the county
road viewers to meet before proceed
ing to lay out the road and that the
surveying work done by ]. w. Kim
brell, as deputy for County Surveyor
Geary Kimbrell, was not legal be-
cause the courts order specifically
de ignated the county surveyor. Both
of these errors were conceded by
Judge Fee, who, as attorney for the
petitioners, has been aiding the coun-
ty.
Judge Phelps opinion on two 9TH
er alleged errors, however. was in ia
vor of the county. Plaintiff con-
tended court did not comply with the
law by posting notices in a public
place because affidavits stated that
they had been posted "in pain view
of the public.
Judge Phelps ruled that the pur-
pose of the law was to notify the pub
lie and that notice in plain view of
the public" certainly ought to be lin
a public place"
Harris also claimed that the road
laid out was not the one petitioned
for because it did not touch one of
the intermediate points mentioned in
the petition. However, the judge
gave his opinion that inasmuch as the
termini of the road were the same
as in the petition and the general
course the same, the error was not
sufficient to make the procedure void,
the viewers simply using their own
judgment in laying the road in the
most advisable course
The matter is now again in the
hands of the county court and to pro-
ceed further with the road, the err
rors upheld must be corrected.

TECHNICAL WORLD
NOTES WATER POWER
Splendid Article In the March Number
Obtained Through Efforts of
Commercial Club.

One of the best of the many articles
that the Commercial club has been
able to secure in newspapers and
magazines appeared in the March
number of the Technical World. The
article is by Frank G. Moorehead, who
was engaged by the Commercial club
Of this city to exploit in the most
forceful and extensive way the build
ing of the dam across the Mississippi
river. The article in the Technical
World is in Mr.. hIoorehead's best style
and is made additionally attractive
and interesting by several late illus
trations. The front view is of the
Iowa shore and shows the bunk houses
and the sidetracks. One other view
shows the stone quarry on the Illinois
side and still another the primary
work of building the bridge across the
canal in order to reach out into the
river proper to put in the cofferdam.
The value Of the many articles that
Keokuk is getting in the newspapers
and magazines through the influence
and arrangement of the Commercial
club is of inestimable value Millions
of people are being familiarized with
the great construction project now in
progress and that great good will
come from such campaign of publici-
ty is readily recognized President
Irwin of the Commercial club and his
colleagues executed wise stroke
when they made the deal with Mr..
Moorehead for the publicity campaign.
