E!gh, thousand infants in Chicago
face death from starvation and dis
ease as the result OF the garment

months has dragged its length out
with no prospect OF settlement IN
sight. This is the statement Of both
city authorities and Union synpath!z-
e-s, the latter OF whom are az their
wits end 10 obtain milk for the ba-
bies in the strikers home. many OK
whom are already in the shadow OF
death from want.

authorities reported more than 100
cases OF pneumonia and diptheEia
among these children with large
number OF deaths With the utter
exhaustion OF the milk supply-now

PENDLET0N FANS OF GPID|RON TO SEE
STELLAR.ClKTEST HERE THANKSGIVING

Pendleton football fans will rejoice
at the news that the high school is
determined to secure a big game here
on Thanksgiving Day and that it is
certain that the team which defeated
Baker so decisively a week ago will
ne up against a stellar aggregation
from Portland. Walla Walla or Hepp-
ner on that day.
The boys have preference for
game with the champions of the Port
land interscholastic league and are
using the long distance telephone this
afternoon in an effort to secure such
a game. The Portland championship
was decided yesterday in the Wash
ington- Jefferson game, but informa-
ton as to which was the winner had
not arrived in Pendleton at noon.
If a game is arranged between a
Pendleton and a Portland team, sew

CITY ELECTRIC PLANT
Frisco Public Utilities
Expert Makes
Statement
Declares Plant Would Prove Very
Valuable Asset and Paying Resource
of City in Near Future.

That it would pay the city of Pen
dieton and pay it we'll to establish a
municipal electric plant and even to
use electricity from the same in the
operation of electric lines into the city
from tributary territory is the dec
laration of E. p. E. Troy of San
Francisco who was here yesterday.
Mr. Troy is known upon the coast
as an expert on the subject of public
utilities. He has been at Oregon
City in the service of w. S. U'Ren,
who is drafting a plan to submit the
proposition of single tax to the vot-
ers of Clackamas county. Mr. Troy
was called in to arrange the plan for
the assessment of the public service
corporations such as the big power
company using the falls at Oregon
City, and he has just concluded the
work. He is now making a brief tour
of the northwest before returning to
San Francisco.
As a result of his experience in
California. Mr.. Troy has become an
earnest advocate of municipal own
ership of such enterprises as power
plants. He says that the future will
show the power resources of the west
to be of immense value and that cities
acquiring and holding powersites will
be fortunate.
According to Mr. Troy, his investi-
cation of the situation at oregon City
reveals that the power company con-
trolling the falls is making fabulous
profits and is not properly assessed
by the present state tax board.

SCHOOL KIDDIES
TO HAVE VACATION

When the schools of the city DIS
miss this afternoon, the several hun
dred scholars will begin the enjoy
ment of nine-day vacation, the reg
ular Thank giving holiday.
The occas on for the holiday is the
annual institute of the Eastern Ore
gon state Teachers association and
of the counties of Umatilla, Union,
Wallowa,. Baker and Malheur which
will be held at Baker the first three
days of next week. Every teacher in
the five counties is expected to be
pre- ent and to spend a certain num-
Der of hours at the meeting unless
sickness or some other valid reason
excuses them.
With but few exceptions, the PEN
dleton instruction corps will leave in a
body for Baker Sunday morning and
will return Wednesday evening. Sew
eral of the teachers whose homes are
in oregon City and Portland will at
tend the Multnomah county institute
and thus be able to spend part of their
vacation with relatives.

Farrell Talks.

Portland. Ore. Nov. 24-President
J. d. Farrell of the O.-W. r. & n.
company, said this afternoon he un-
derstood the proposed trans-Oregon
extension from Vale will be a part of
the o w. r. & n. when completed,
and thus be placed under the juris-
diction of the O.-W. r. & n. with
headquarters in Portland. The con-
struction work is being done by the
Oregon Short Line because of con-
venience, the headquarters of that
line being at Salt LG,'e City Utah.
II am not prepared 10 give any de-
tails concerning the oregon Eastern"
said President Ferrell, because l
have not had time to look into the
matter yet, but I understand the line
is being built further to develop that
great area of land referred to as CEN
trail oregon. I don't know at what
point connection will be made with
the Deschutes river line. but know
that there is large area of land
awaiting development that can only
follow the building of a railroad The
building of this line is not so much
to give US shorter line-I don't
know that it would shorten our trans
continental line-but to develop cen

Walla Walla will be given the date
should the high school boys of that
city desire to pit their strength against
the local pigskin chasers again. In
an early season contest between the
two teams, the Garden City gladiators
squeezed out a victory in the last few
minutes of play by fluke touchdown.
but nobody in Pendleton admits the
possibility of a repetition of such
victory
Heppner high school Is clamoring
for a g.'airon engagement with the
PendlNtor team. Since the Baker
game the local boys have laid claim
to the championship of eastern Ore
gon an6 in le .er received this
morning by Superintendent Landers
the manager of the Morrow county
team, strenuously challenges the right
of Pendleton to set up such a claim
when his own warriors have not been
defeated. Pendleton and Heppner
have not clashed on the sawdust are
ma for many years and a battle be-
tween teams from the two cities
would have the qualities of novelty
and uncertainty. and such q contest
may be arranged.
