Changes In the National Guard.

The new company of the Vermont Ma
tional Guard, now being recruited in this
city, will be known as Company c, in
stead of Company X. When the com
pany was first started, it was expected
that it would be designated as Company
X because of the fact that the company
of this letter located in Bennington had
been uisbanded. AS soon, however, as
the formation of a new company here
was begun, the citizens of Bennington
got together and re-organized Company
X. Company c of Brandon, in pursu-
ance of orders just received from head
quarters by Major Frank p. Johnson of
that place, has now been d~isbanded, and
the letter goes to the new company
here. The reason for the d~isbanding of
the Brandon company is given as INSULT
cheney of strength. The officers of the
company there ave all received honor
able discharges from the service. These
officers, however, do not include Major
Johnson, whose rank Is superior.-lBur-

Village Government in the High School

Village Government in the High School,.
Principal futile of the Bellows Falls
high school is the first to try out self
government in the high school in a
sweeping and systematic way, giving
over the entire administration of disci-
pline to the student body. Under his di-
rection the high school has organized a
model village" government, electing its
moderator, trustees, clerk, treasurer and
c~onstables.
The trustees have their own "presi-
dent who presides over the session of
the trustees, and this body within a body
considers all questions of infraction of
rules reported by the various c~onstables,
there being two constables in each room
occupied by the high school. New and
by the trustees, and there is always a
special effort made to fit the penalty to
the offense, and at the same time to be
so fair in the penalizing as to carry with
it the school body in it's innate love for
fairness.
This scheme has been at work a week
now, and has thus far proved an dmir
able success. 1t seems to entirely relieve
Principal futile and his associates from
the work of discipline, and to leave them
free to devote themselves to the work of
instruction, and then to enjoy watching
the school govern itself. Needless to say,
the scheme is creating great interest in
the homes of the place, as well as among
the student body, and it is probable that
outside institutions will be greatly inter-
ested to note it's progress.

ON TO WESTON" IS
TOMORROW'S SLOGAN

GO to Weston tomorrow" is the
urgent message of Secretary Jack
Keefe to the citizens of Pendleton.
He is busy today circulating among
the business men of the city in an
effort to get them to attend the first
annual strawberry Day and Horse
Show of the little mountain town and
quite a few have signified their in
tention of making the trip either by
auto or by train.
Mr.. Keefe points out that it is i'm
portant that Pendleton people send
up a worthy representation because
of the fact that Weston lies upon the
bOrderland between Walla Walla and
Pendleton territory and has consid
cradle business to give to one of the
two cities. Local business men
should recognize this fact he says,
"and they can well afford to sacrifice
ill., order to make the trip. A splen-
did program has been prepared and
good, enjoyable time is assured to
all who go. There will be an abund-
ance of strawberries and lovers of
good horses will see the best animals
of the county,"

SAY THOMPSON IS
A PARTIAL SLEUTH

From the tenor of n communica-
ton received by the East Oregonian
today it is evident that Messrs Bundy
and May of Athena, do not think
highly of the methods employed by
L. b. Thompson, special game war
den who caused their arrest recent
ly. The communication is as follows
and is published as matter of news:
Athena, Ore, June 30, 1911.
This is to state that Warden
Thompson fished with us on the
Umatilla river Saturday, June oath,
and that he gave us the fish he
caught, and to the best of our know
ledge he may have put small fish in
our basket as well as ourselves, as
they were all in one basket. He never
notified us he was warden or it
was illegal to keep small fish. He
also let the Wilson boys go with
small fish in their basket after eX-
amining their catch. Having told us
he examined their baskets and as
they had a fine catch he passed up
what few small ones they had. Bert
Wilson told us they had eight small
ones.

Glendale, Ore, June 3Q.-Passen-
gers on the Southern Pacific south
bound passenger train arriving here
this morning from Portland, say they
heard many shots while coming

and all users of gasoline in large
quantities may be required to store
their tanks outside the city limits in

LAFFERTy WOULD
REPRESENT PORTLAND

Congressman Lafferty will not
again seek the votes of the people of
eastern oregon. If he runs for Of
flee again it will be as a resident of
Portland.
This information is contained in
letter just received by Secretary Jack
Keefe of the Commercial club and
which was read at the weely lunche-
on of the board of managers today.
The announcement was made in
connection with a discussion of the
Lafferty bill for the creation of an
eastern Oregon judicial district with
headquarters at Baker.
In commenting on his bill Lafferty
made the contention that his bill does
not discriminate between Pendleton
and Baker and that in the event of
its adoption the federal judge could
reside in either town he desired.
However, reading of the bill, in
closed with the letter, shows this
statement to be untrue. The bill pro-
vides that the regular terms of the
court shall be held at Baker begin
ming on the second Mondays of April
and November and at the city of
Pendleton on the first Tuesdays in
June and December in each year,
IThis wording in the view of Presi-
dent Smythe, an attorney, makes Ba-
ker the headquarters for the court in
the event the bill is adopted.
Furthermore the Lafferty bill spe-
cities that the marshal and clerk for
the new district shall appoint at least
one deputy at Pendleton.
Secretary Keefe was instructed to
notify the congressman that the word
ing of his bill is unsatisfactory and
that Pendleton people would prefer
to have the bill so drawn as to have
the regular sessions here and to have
the deputy named for Baker.
Another matter passed upon by the
board today was the rejection of a
claim from Baker to the effect that
Pendleton should bear all the expense
OF publishing the initiative argu-
ment for the branch asylum. w. l.
Thompson, of the public policy com
mittee to which the claim had been
referred, reported no deal had been
made whereby the club assumed more
than one third the expense. As one
third the amount has already beer
paid the matter of paying the remain
ing two thirds was laid upon the
table.

PLAY TO INCREASE SCORE

Newark, n. j., June 30.-Manager
Hal Chase thinks he has discovered
another play to net scores and he is
seeking to patent it. 1t is to be work.
ed when with two out there are fast
men on second and third. The man
on second is to take big lead and
draw a throw from the catcher. Then
the man on third scoots home. II
the catcher heaves the ball to third
the runner on second is to jockey
around until he pulls a throw to
second from third thus giving the
runner on third a chance to score.
Hal says it ought to work three out
of four trials.
