PENDLETON VS.. PILOT
ROCK TOMORROW

Tomorrow afternoon Pendleton
fans will assemble at Roundup park
to watch a team picked from the
bunch of material which Manager
Garrett has gathered here demon
strate the goods that is within them
against the pirates of Pilot Rock
whose fielding force will be supple
mented by battery from the local
staff. To make the contest more
equal, Garrett will loan his best
twirler to the visitors and the Buck
aroo stickers will thus have a dose
of the medicine which they will ad-
minister to other teams of the Tri-
state league after the opening of the
season.
Garrett has been putting his men
through their PAGES at a stiff clipp
for the past few days despite the in
clemency of the weather and promises
the fans that they will not see an
article of ball devoid of class. Also
he will have his players dolled out
in their new uniforms which display
the famous Roundup slogan Let 'eI
Buck" across the front If the
weather god will just allow the sur
to shine tomorrow. 1t is safe to pre-.
dict a big attendance at this frs
game.

LOWELL THANKS
LOCAL SUPPORTERS
Saturday, April 20, 1912.

saturday, April ~, 19l2.
To the Republicans of Umatilla Co.:
The primary campaign is ended,
and 1 desire to thank my friends and
supporters for the magnificent vote
accorded me in this, my home coun-
ty. Whatever the result may prove
to be, have no complaint, and
whether in the end win or lose, the
triumph here over rorceful and un-
relenting opposition is honor enough
for the present 1 trust that the
nominees of yesterday may be victo-
rious in November.
If I am defeated this time 1 shall
become a candidate two years hence,
and have confidence that then l may
demonstrate both that eastern Ore
gon is a part of the commonwealth
and that it is yet possible for man
of moderate means to be victorious
in republican senatorial primary.
am not ready to believe that the
party of Lincoln is irrevokably welded
to wealth.
Respectfully.

So far the meetings have been more
to get organized and to find out
what can be taken up to best advan-

ed plans for canvassing the city to
find out the number of people who
are not attending church or Sunday
school and as far as possible to find
out the reasons why. At the last
meeting it was also decided that the
league should in every way possible
assist the special Y. NJ. C. A. commit

It Is Proof of
Our Feeble Progress.

1t shows how comparatively fee.
BILE is the progress we have as yet
made in our intellectual develop
ment, that we can consent, at so
slight an incentive, to resign our
prerogative of control, throw
ourselves upon all tours and run
with the herd. People are not to be
criticised for thinking alike, pro-
vided only such unanimity is not
due to their not having thought at
all, but to their having let some
one think for them, or to their hav-
ing so allowed themselves to be
fiattened out under some hypnotic
touch or bewildered by some in
calculable infatuation as to throw
their individual powers of thought
and decision out Of commission.
In the presence of such condi-
lions argument is as much waste
of time as though thrown in the
faces Of the bew1tched and bedev-
lied swine that Scripture relates to
have rushed down a steep place
into the sea.
