STEALING A RIDE ON DUMP WAGON,
SMALL BOY is SERIOUSLY INJURED

In an attempt to climb onto the
tongue of a wagon which was being
trailed behind the Penland auto truck,
little four-year-oid Freddie Griggs,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Griggs,
yesterday afternoon shortly after 4
o'clock had Il narrow escape from
death. He slipped and fell under the
wheels of the wagon, both passed over
him. his collar bone was broken and
the side of his head bruised. 1t was
thus only inches that separated him
from instant death for had the heavy
wheels struck his head squarely in
stead of only grazing it, his skull
would have been crushed.
The little fellow with several older
playmates, according to the story of
witnesses, had jumped upon the back
end of the truck for ride but all
had been made get off by the driver.
The little fellow, it seems, had run
back as soon as the machine was
started. DIR. +. o. Parker was sum-
moned Immediately and cared for the
little sufferer. Today he is resting
easily. though the physician states
that it will be impossible to determine
how seriously he was injured for a
| day or two.

WILSON FAVORS
BUDGET SCHEME
ATTENDS PARLIAMENT
Is Cheered i'm Bermuda As He Enters
to listen to Discussion on Schedules
Says Bermuda Plan Not Practical
In United States-Llstens for Three
Hours.

Hamilton, Bermuda, Dec. 3.-Gov-
day the first tariff discussion since
his election as president of the Unit
ed States. He visited the Bermuda
parliament, where he was loudly
cheered. He sat among the members
for three hours listening to the de-
bate on the vegetable schedules and
observing the methods of budget Leg
islation.
In reply to the welcome extended
by the speaker, Wilson said:
81 have been Interested in the de-
bate, thinking that If we went
through every year the items of ex-
penditures and revenue for 12 months
there would be a continuous perform
ance that would excel anything the
theaters could ever produce. But
the idea is an admirable one because
it affords the house a constant OPP
portunity to view the changing cir
cumstances of the colony. l have ad-
mired the busness-like manner OF
getting through the estimates"
When walking from the govern
ment house. Mr.. Wilson said he
thought hearty revision of the AM
erican tariff schedules such as obtains
in Bermuda would be impracticable
1t would be impossible to discuss the
estimates and revenues simultaneous
ly. but he wished the United States
would adopt some budget scheme.

The following is the story of the
accident as given by Will Penland,
driver of the auto truck.
81 had gone with the truck to the
vacant lot on Jackson street opposite
Prof. Lander's home and adjoining
the Louis Greenawald place to pick
up one of the paving company's dump
wagons and take it to the mixing
plant. On going into the lot 1 drove
several boys off the auto truck and
took particular notice of the little
Griggs boy because he was so young.
l warned him to keep off.
when / had hooked the dump wa
gon behind the truck and was ready
to start looked back and noticed the
little boy was about 90 feet in the
rear of the wagon, so thought he was
safe. 1t was n hard pull TO get out
of the lot onto Lincoln street, so l was
busy with the auto and did not see
the boy climb aboard and did not
even hear the men shout at first be-
cause of the noise from the exhaust.
AS soon as / learned of the accident
| stopped and rushed back to help.

Washington, Dec. 3.-President
Taft today submitted to the senate
his message on "Our Foreign Rela-
tions." Touching upon the situation
in Mexico. the president says:
For two years revolution and coun-
ter-revOlution have distraught the
neighboring republic of Mexico, Bri-
gandage has involved a great deal OF
depreciation upon foreign interests.
There have constantly recurred ques-
tions of extreme delicacy. on several
occasions very difficult situations have
arisen on our frontier. Throughout
this trying period, the policy of the
United States has been one of patient
non-intervention, seadfast recognition
of constituted authority in the neigh
boring nation, and the exertion of
every effort to care for American in
terests 1 profoundly hope that the
Mexican nation may soon resume the
path of order, prosperity and progress.
To that nation in its sore troubles, the
sympathetic friendship of the United
States has been demonstrated to a
high degree. There were in Mexico
at the beginning of the revolution
some thirty or forty thousand Amer
lean citizens engaged in enterprises
contributing greatly to the prosper
ity of that Republic and also bene-
fitting the important trade between
the two countries. The investment
of American capital in Mexico has
been estimated at $1,000,0 100000. The
responsibility of endeavoring to safe
guard those interests and the dangers
inseparable from propinquity to 50
turbulent a situation have been great
but am happy to have been able
to adhere to the policy above outlin-
ed-a policy which 1 hope may be
soon justified by the complete sue
cess of the Mexican people in regain
ing the blessings of peace and good
order.
In the recent revolution in Nicara-
qua, which, it was generally admit
ted, might well have resulted in a
general Central American conflict
but for the Intervention of the United

Pendleton was greeted to a fierce
clustering storm of wind ana rair
which began about 1890 today and
has caused much damage of a minor
nature. The rain was preceded by a
dust storm which so darkened the city
that in many instances the electric

The most serious damage has been

The Western Union wires are particu-

SHEEP CONDITIONS
QLa Grande Observer

Robert Stanfield of Umatilla coun-
ty, was in La Grande yesterday look
ing after several bands of sheep which
he has in this valley. incidentally
"Bob's" neighbors elected him to rep
resent Umatilla county in the legisla
ture this winter, but that is not near
ly so important as the opinion of this
sheepman on the present outlook for
that industry.
II really cannot believe that Presi-
dent-elect Wilson or the democratic
congress will take extraordinary ac-
ton regarding the tariff on wool. The
ern Oregon have been laying too much
stress upon the protection the indus
try is receiving. yet at the same time
none of us want to embrace the si-
mon pure free trade on this commod-
ity. But the general conditions are
so vastly different now to what they
We're once in the sheep business that
lower duty will not change things
entirely. In the last few weeks

In speaking of proposed legislation
for the state this winter, Mr.. Stanfield
said he would wait until he got tC
Salem and see what was needed, but
added that he was against piling W
a mess of useless laws, the passage Of
which was merely intended to Civ,
orators a chance to air their ideas anC

RAIN IS BEHIND
SAYS FORCASTER

Though the month of November
started with rain and continued rainy
more or less for the entire first half
it ended with n deficiency, according
to the reports kept by e. F. Averill,
official weather observer The total
precipitation for the month was LIS
inches while the normal for Novem-
Der Is 1.51. The precipitation for the
wet season is considerably below nor
NAL though for the entire year since
January /, 1t is still above the average
amount.
According to the observer, rain fell
on sixteen different days of the month
just past, though on most of these
days the precipitation did not amount
to much more than a sprinkle.
Despite the shortage of rain dur
ing the wet season, grainmen declare
conditions at this time of the yeai
have not been as good for the farm
er for number of years. Seeding Il
practically all done and they state
that IL the ideal conditions prevail fol
the remainder of the winter another
bumper crop is practically assured.

science on the one side and speed and
superior science on the other. War

could not turn the trick again. He
weighed in at 10 pounds and O'Con-
