WRESTLING BOUT AT
ECHO Is A DRAW

After wrestling for two hours and
thirteen minutes without fall, the
match between Jack Kennedy of
Hermiston and Ed Alho, the Finn,
which was held at Echo last evening
was declared a draw by Young Hack
of this city who referred the bout
Hack returned to Penileton this NOR
ming bringing the news of the hard
fought battle. He declares that the
match last night was the best he has
seen in the west and gave the crowd
which witnessed it several times the
value of its money.
Hack states that Alho was the ag-
gressor practically throughout the
bout but was unable to fasten hold
which the strength and agility of the
Hermistonian could not break. Both
men were tired out AT the finish, he
says, and Kennedy was sick at the
stomach from the violent hugging
which his opponent had given him. AT
the end of two hours and thirteen
minutes, the referee asked the crowd
If it had its moneys worth and the
affirmative response resulted in the
calling of the match draw.

HAS HOPES FOR
MORE DEMOCRATS
WILSON is CONFIDENT
Thinks That Many Democratic Sena-
tors Will BE Elected When Several
Legislatures Meet Next Month-Has
Conference Over Senatorial Situa-
ton Yesterday.

Trenton n. j.. Dec S1.-President-
elect Wilson manifested yesterday
keen interest in the possibility that
the present scant majority which the
democrats are calculated to have in
the United States senate might be
comfortably increased when the leg
islatures of a number of states meet
next month.
Mr.. Wilson conferred on the sena-
torial situation with j. Hamilton Lew
is Of Illinois choice of the democrat
ic primaries in Illinois for United
States senator, and Senator Luke Lea
of Tennessee.
Mr. Lewis told Mr. Wilson there
was q good chance of getting twd
democratic senator's from Illinois. in
forming him that while the progress
sives held the balance of power he
thought there were among them men
public spirited enough to support the
democratic choices on the theory that
the state. by popular vote, had put
itself on record for a Wilson admins
tration. Mr. Lewis suggested to the
president elect that it might be open
" understood that patriotic men
would give him the support of two
senators which would be regarded as
worthy and proper distribution of MI
nority patronage.
The president elect said he mad no
comment to make on this proposal

COUNCIL FAVORS
LIBRARY PLANS
ASSURANCES ARE GIVEN
Committee Arrives Too Late to Pre-
Scnt Subject 70 Members Of Cty
COuncil-Want Action Talrcn, Set
ting Aside Plat North Of Main
Street Bridge for Building.

Although a committee of ladies',
representing the library board, arriv-
ed at the city hall too late to present
their cause 10 the council, they were
given assurances which make them
hopeful that their object the secur-
ing of a Carnegie library for Pendle-
ton is much nearer attainment than
ever before.
The request which they intended
making to the council last evening was
for some action setting aside the lit
tie triangular plot of ground just
north of the Main street bridge as a
library site and assurances that the
council was unanimous in favor of
such a proposal were given by Mayor
Matlock and individual councilmen.
1t is probable that resolution to that
effect will be passed at the next
meeting.
The committee representing the Ii
brary board consisted of Mrs. ]. F.
Robinson, Mrs. John Vert and Mrs
]. S. Landers. They declared that
the public library has outgrown it's
present quarters and that more room
is essential. AS prerequisites for a do
nation from Angrew Carnegie to erect
a library building, a deed to a site
must be secured and provision made
for an annual revenue of $4,000. At
present approximately $1,000 is secur-
ed yearly by direct taxation and the
ladies believe they can arrange to
double this amount. The income from
the Sturgis fund, a donation of $4,000
made by the late Samuel p. Sturgis
for library purposes and which has
now grown to approximately $4,000
through disuse of the interest, would
be available the ladies think. The
fund is held in trust by Judge James
A. Fee. whose construction of the
terms of the gift has prevented the
use of the revenue up to this time
but it is believed that with the es-
tablishment of a Carnegie library he
would turn over the annual interest.
