RECIPROCITY
CAMPAIGN ENDS
Liberals in Canada Assured
of Victory and Treaty With
U S. Certain.

Ottawa. Canada, Sept. 2O.-The re-
ciprocity campaign ends tonight and
tomorrow the voters of Canada win
definitely decide whether Canada and
the United States will enter into a
free trade agreement. 1t is believed
that there is practically no chance of
reciprocity being defeated. The only
bets obtainable today are that the
majority OF the Liberal party will be
slightly reduced, which the liberals
deny.
The election viii be held in PA out
of the 221 constituencies. Three lib
erals have already been reelected by
acclamation, their strength being such
that the conservatives refused to put
up men to make the race against
them.
Among the liberals thus reelected,
is Premier Laurier, in East Quebec.
Four elections have been deferred,
owing to trouble and delay in getting
the voters list into the remote sec
tions of the wilderness country.
1t is admitted that the closing cam
paign is the most strenuous political
fight that has ever been waged in
Canada.

Madrid, Spain. Sept. 2O-Valencia
is today the center of what is believed
to be the beginning or a revolution
that will, f it meets with the expec-
tations of the leaders, mean the de-
thronement of King Alfonso and it is
also reported that grave disorders are
taking place in many other places in
widely scattered sections of the coun-

Premier Canalas today received
messages advising HIM that twenty
five thousand revoluuonists are now
marching on Valencia. with the view
of taking charge of the CITY and max

tionists. Additional. government
troops are being hurried to the scene
of the reported trouble. The rebels
have cut the telegraph and telephone
wires and the reports from the tur-
bulent sections are very meagre.
King Alfonso is personally in charge
of the work of directing the affairs of
the forces that are trying to quell the
disturbances before they reach a more
serious stage. The young monarch
IS fully convinced now that his throne
is in danger of being snatched from
under him.
The king is seriously handicapped
by the smallness of his available army.

NOW BOOST THE
COMMERCIAL CLUB

Now that the Roundup is over, and
that the city of Pendleton is coming
into its normal condition again, it is
time for US to consider the various
large questions that confront US. PEN
dleton has some very important
things to consider and settle that are
far-reaching N their import tG the
ciey. OF is necessary that every citi-
zen Of this city become an active par
ticipant in the affairs of the city.
1t is a matter of civic import that the
collective citizenship feel the respon-
sibiHty of the suffrage.
No great enterprise can be success
fully and expeditiously consumated
without good organization. It is the
essential element in all fields of activ-
ity. 1t is team work that carries away
the prize The great team of Pendle-
ton is and should rightly be the Com
mercial club. Every male citizen of
Pendleton should be an active MEM
Der of that organization; there is no
excuse for his not being so 1t should
be his first club, one in which as an
American citizen he should consider
it his duty and privilege to participate
The Commercial club is not a body
Of merely business men or taxpayers;
it Is the general club OF all the citizens
of PendlUton. In it are ciscussed from
time to time the things that concern
all the people of the city. Its field is
the largest in the city, and extends
through the county and state. Every
profess-ona man, every man in the
city who is actively interested in the
duties of good citizenship owes it to
himself to send in his application at
once. All honest citizens are cordial
ly anC earnestly invited to join at
once.
Pendleton has proved itself splen-
didly during the recent "Round-Up."

London, Sept. 20.-With every berth
filled and leaving the English port of
South Hampton for New York today
the Star liner Olympic which is the
largest steamship ever constructed,
was rammed by the British cruiser
Hawks today ana only the immediate
action of the captain in heading the
crippled human laden craft toward
shore and Bleaching her, prevented
what might easily have been the
worst marine catastrophe in the his
tory of modern sailing.
The crippled vessel was later towed
to the dry docks at South Hampton.
The Hawks was also badly damaged
and it was found necessary to remove
her to the dry docks at Portsmouth
Among the passengers on the Olym-
pic were William Astor, the American
mulu-millionaire President Brown of
the New York Central Railway COM
pany, Clarence Mackay, telegraph
magnate
The warship's steel prov struck the
Olympic squarely on the star-board
quarter. The cargo holds of the liner
were quickly IlOOueu.
As soon as the cruiser had rammed
the liner, the engines were reversed,
and the warship succeeded in back
ing away The Olympic's steel bulk
heads automatically closed, stopping
the inrush Of water, which threatened
to swamp the liner and which badly
damaged the cargo.
Life-boats were quickly manned and
while the passengers were badly
frightened, they regained their COM
posure and disgelied their fears with
the assurance from the ships officers
that there was nc danger of the yes

There is far from being enough wat
er at Thorn Hollow springs at this
time to meet the needs of the city, ac-
cording to members or the city coun-
ell who visited the springs yesterday
upon a special investigating trip.
There was a stream or water run
ming about two feet wide and six inch
es deep" says Councilman Strain eve
all agreed it was fsr from being
enough to supply the needs of the city
at this time. We also visited the Shap-
lish springs and, while there is some
water there, it appeared to al. of us
that the supply from the two places
would be insufficient TO meet the
needs of the city"
All the members of the council and
the mayor made the trip to the
springs. 1t was made by the council
men" to see what they could see.' The
trip was not taken at the instance Of
the water board. which has not yet
completed its development work at
the springs and has made no request
for the sale of the 100000 bond issue
that was voted by the people last
