VIII Make Formal Address from the
Balcony Of His Home and Will
Probably Launch His Presidential
Boom-Eigit Dead from Last
Nights RiOting.

Aqua Calientes, Mex, June G.
Madero is rolling toward Mexico City
on a special train following an excit-
ing scene here in which the revolu-
tionary leader and his party suddenly
left a big banquet prepared for him,
when the lights went out suddenly and
he rushed back to the train two miles
away. 1t is believed that a Cientifico
plot to Kill him was frustrated. The
banquet was abandoned. A large
crowd was jostling in the hall when
the lights were extinguished. Ma
dero was rushed outside with his wife
by Colonel Hay and attache, Madero
expects to reach Mexico City sometime
tomorrow forenoon.
The banquet was planned at the
Casino hotel. The reception commit
tee was escorting Madero into the

mysteriously. Madero and wife din
cd in their private car afterward, de-

Commercial Club Managers
Meet c. W. NibIey and Dis
Cuss Saw Mill Possibility
DREAM OF YEARS
MAY YET COME TRUE
Representative of Large Interests
Passing Through is Quizzed by Lo-
cal Mcn-Once Intended Starting
Saw Mil Here But Allowed Rate
Contract to Lapse.

For the purpose of discussing with
c. W. Nibley the subject fof a saw
mill for Pendleton a special meeting
Of the Commercial club managers Ia
being held this afternoon, with Mr..
Nibley, Douglas Belts of Pilot Rock
and others as special guests.
Mr. Nibley represents large interests
and is the owner of the Meacham mill
which is now being closed down for
lack of timber. He has been here
today as the guest of Ben L. Bur-
roughs and goes to Walla Walla to-
night. While here a meeting of the
managing board was called by Pres
ident Smythe so as to have the mem
bers meet Mr.. Nibley and get all the
information possible from him.
Years ago when the mill at Meach-
am was started it was Mr.. Nibley's
intention to establish the mill in Pen
dleton. He had an arrangement
with the o. r. & n. company for the
delivery of his logs in Pendleton but
allowed the contract to lapse and the
railroad people would not renew it.
Consequently the mill was located at
Meacham.
1t is The hope of local people and
has been a dream of years to have
mill established here for the pur-
pose of milling the timber in the
southern part of this county and nor
thern Grant. Interest has been fur
ther heightened by the publication Of
an interview with NJ. C. Griswold in
which Mr.. Griswold sets forth that he
now holds 500,0O0,0O0 feet of yellow
pine in the southern part of this
county and northern Grant.
1t has long been known that Mr..
Griswold was a heavy holder of this
timber but until the interview was
published few knew he had 500, ,OO0,-
600 feet. In the opinion of Douglass
Belts, who has investigated the sub
ject for long time, there is in the
neighborhood of a thousand million
feet of timber that would be tribu-
tary to the Umatilla Central railroad
should it be extended to Grant coun-
ty.
In Commercial club circles it has
long been the desire to bring the tim
ber owners, milling people and rail-
road interests together in hopes of
having the Pilot Rock road extended
and the south end timber brought
here for manufacture. The meeting
today with Mr.. Nibley was held in
hopes he would be able to point out
how this might be done

Portland, June 6.-Mayor Joseph
Simon. Of Portland. running inde-
pendcntly for reelection met n crush
ing defeat according to the returns
today. \. G. Rushlight the primary
republican nominee was elected by a
plurality estimated at 5000. Geo. Ii.
Thomas, democrat ran u bad third
About 10000 votes of 40 per cent of
the registration were cast. RushIighfs
election is no surprise. He was back
ed by the organized labor and small
home owners, while Simon had the
backing IF the business men and citi-
zcns alliance. IL Is expected that a
more liberal administration will be
inauguratcd.
Amendments Defeated.
Rushlight is at present a member
OF the city council. The democratic
candidate, George II. Thomas, appar-
emily received his full party vote, but
as that party is, according to the reg
istration books, in the hopeless min
ority in this city, neither he nor
Charles II. Often, socialist, who ran
fourth and j. Allen Harrison, prohi-
bitionist, who was in fifth place, were
important elements in the race. The
republican elected along with Rush
light, practically the entire municipal
ticket.
Twenty three initiative and referen-
dun measures were voted on yesterday
several of them were important and
some of them bordered on freak leg
islation." Three measures proposing
pension funds for aged o. disabled
firemen, policemen and street clean
ers all went down to defeat.
4 charter amendment providing
for bonding the, city for 100000 to
build a convention han, carried An
ordnance prohibiting street car con-
ductors admitting more passengers to
cars than there We're seats for, face
tiously called the mo seat no ride
ordinance" was defeated.
A proposition for a million dollar
municipal paving plant, was also de-
fcated.
Two important ordinances, one pro-
vidinE for a three per cent tax on
gross earnings of gas and electric
lighting companies and creating
public service commission are I'm
doubt.

PRESIDENT TAFT
 MAY LOSE OHIO

Toledo, O., December 2.-Predcting that the republicans of Ohio will declare against Taft and in no uncertain voice demand that Theodore Roosevelt must again be their standard bearer in 1912. Walter Brown. chairman of the Ohio republican state central committee, has replied to the letter addressed to him by John D. Fackler. who is in charge of progressive republican headquarters in Indianapolis.
 MT FaclSler requested that the state committee afford the republicans a chance to express thei. presidential preferences between the two avowed candidates, Will liam H. Taft and Senator Robert Marion LaFollette of Wisconsin.
 Chairman Brown takes the viewpoint that the republicans should be given a broader opportunity for choice in irclud- | ing other leaders, and significantly adds Unless l wholly mistake the sentiment or eur fellow republicans, if given d chance, they will with no uncertain voice again declare their preference for theh standard bearer of 1904 who, though in no sense a candidate now, is too loyal q republican and too good a citizen to deny the clearly expressed demand of his party and his country

 The meeting was presided over by the, chairman. and Miss Ethel Armes, author of the book under discussion, was also present The members fin attendance unan- imously agreed to bring the history to the attention of the superintendent of the Birmingham public schools, pr. J. 1T. Phillips. for an official approval early this week and then to appear before the board of education with their contention that the book should be introduced into the high schools for the supplementary read ing course.
 T. Il. Aldrich, postmaster of Brming- ram, and former chairman of this com mlttee,. read an editorial from a recent issue of the Educational Exchange that was penned by pr. J. II.

 The committee also decided that the price of the book, should it be accepted as an institution for the school curricu- lum, would be reduced from S5 to S3 a volume.
 The printing indebtedness pf $l5D0 is to be removed by measures to be planned for the follow up work
