SALARY CLAUSE DOES
NOT MEET APPROVAL

Ratification of the constitution and
bylaws of the Blue Mountain League
as adopted last Saturday by the
Athena-Weston, Walla Walla and
teams was with
held by the Pendleton club after dis
cussiOn at a meeting last nigh. and
a committee consisting of Carl Cool
ey, Lawrence Frazier and James Es-
ties, was appointed to revise three of
the Objectionable clauses and to sub
nit the revised constitution to the
other clubs for their approval.
The particular clause to which the
local fans are opposed is that limit
ing the expenditure of salaries at
1925 a month, thus permitting only
batteries to be hired, and they will
fight this provision to the bitter end.
The constitution provides for a fine
of SO for every violation and for
the forfeiture of a game which later
penalty would prevent any disregard
for the limitations as provided.
Local fans believe Walla Walla will
back them in their desires to raise
the salary limit to permit of the hir-
ing of several infielders and they will
erdeavor to make the other two clubs
see the advantage of such plan.

TAFT LOSING In
DAKOTA PRIMARY

Fargo n. d, March 19.-The pres
idential preference primary, the first
in the country, is being held in this
state today. Early voting indicates
the heaviest balloting in the history of
the state.
Senator La Follette's and Colonel
Roosevelts supporters both claim
victory for their candidates. Though
both Roosevelt and La Toilette lead
President Taft, his supporters hope
that the split will mean that Taft will
win Roosevelt and La Toilette fac
tions are working hard to get out the
vote.
Senator La Toilette concluded his
tour of the state at Devil Lake yester-
day. Roosevelt adherents say that if
La Toilette wins, it will be the result
of Congressman Hanna's opposition
to the senator. Hanna is leading the
stalwarts who are admittedly unpop-
ular in the state.

ing to all who heard it a better un-
derstanding of the work which the
association does.
The secretary began with the state
ment that from dollar and cents
standpoint the Y NJ. C. A. is of value
to community for the reason that it
secures a greater efficiency for its
manhood and he followed up this
statement with an explanation of the
four-fold development for which the
association works, the development
of the physical intellectual, social and
religious side of the boy and young
man.
He elaborated upon the functions
Of the organization, pointing out that
as social agency it is a great factor
in helping the strange and homeless
young man by assisting him osecure
home, job and friends. As a sup
Elemental agency in the development
of the boy, he declared the Y. NJ. C.
A. has no equal The home is the
biggest factor in this development he
declared, but the Y. NJ. C. A., by pro-
viding a wholesome place in which
the leisure hours of the boy may be
spent supplements the work of the
home. The association, too, he went
on to say, is the common center for
religious and constructive forces for,
by its nature, it is non-sectarian and
yet working for uplift and thus af-
fords a common plane upon which all
religious workers can meet.

Is dissatisfaction among the water
users on the Umatilla project in re-
gard to the new form of water right
application that the government is
using in connection with the water
rights on the project, the old form Of
water application Form "B" L. for
land in private ownership has been
done away with and a new form has
been used which form will now be
used in connection with the gradua-
tion of the water right payments, in
the public notice of March 2, 1912,
which notice IS for the purpose of al
lowing a graduation of the water
right payments on this project to
those who wish to pay SO per acre
for the privilege, states that a new
contract must be made with the gov
ernment, and the Form 1910 is the
form that will be used for making
this new contract. This new form of
water application MUST be recorded,
costing each water user $3.50 for re-
cording of same, according to the
public notice all water applications
hereinafter made will have to con-
form with the new form of water

BANQUET TOMORROW NIGHT
GIVES PROMISE OF BEING BIG EVENT

morrow evening the democrats of

will be between 500 and 400 present.
1t will be open to all members of the

PROJECT SETTLERS COMPLAIN OF RED
TAPE SURROUNDING GRADUATED PAYMENTS

on the last page of the application,
this assignment must be written in
as there Is no provision made for this,
and this also must be recorded again,
the settlers and water users are of the
opinion that. this Is great deal of red
tape and is unnecessary, a person
owning a 10 acre tract of land having
it change hands several times the alb
stract for that 10 acres in a few years
Will amount to large amount of
money. 1t is the opinion of those
who have given this some thought
that the new form contains too much
red tape and making it a hardship
on the people on the project, a per-
son wishing to make an application
for water right now goes before the
secretary of the water users associa-
ton, who makes out the application
there being five to be made out, one
Is called the original, one the second
original and three copies, both the
man and wife elf it happens to be a
married man or woman) must sign
the original and second original ap-
plication.
Then there are three copies made
of this, all five of these then go to
the project engineer for his certifica-
ton as to the area and the amount of
water to be used per acre, then they
are returned to the secretary of the

With intense interest manifested
by all present and genuine enthusiasm
by many, a roomful of representative
citizens and boys last night started
a move which it is hoped will secure
for Pendleton in the near future a
branch of the Young Mems Christian
association. The outcome of the
meeting was the appointment of a
committee of ten consisting of Judge
J. w. Maloney, Prof. j. S. Landers,
w. S. Bailey c. w. Lassen, ]. T.
Lambirth, J. E. Keefe, Dean Taton,
W. + Waters. Charles W Meighan and
f. b Aldrich for the purpose of out
lining a plan of action.
The committee met this morning
and drew up a tentative plan of cam
paign but did not commit itself to
any one of the three plans suggested
at the meeting last night, namely the
construction of a new building, the
purchase of the old Pendleton acad-
emy buildings, or the renting of the
Commercial gymnasium and Milar-
key hall for Y. NJ c. A. purposes.
Each of these three plans will be Civ
en- careful consideration and the most
satisfactory and feasible will be rec
ommended.
Ivan b Rhodes, state secretary of
the Y. NJ. c. A. who delivered a clear
and practical talk on the value of a
branch of his organization to city,
gave it as his opinion last night that,
while a new building would entail
more expense than the other two
plans yet its superior results would
justify the greater expenditure. How
ever, he stated that the matter was in
the hands of the citizens and they
could best determine what they want
ed. Before the meeting was closed,
the sentiment of those present seemed
almost unanimously to be in favor of
a new building.
Boys Present Petition.
One of the most striking features
of the meeting occurred soon after
]. w. Maloney had called it to order
when a petition signed by forty high
school boys was presented asking
that the citizens unite in securing a
branch of the Young Mems Christian
association for Pendleton, and the
boys were present in force to con-
vince the men that they are sincere
in their desires. The appeal coming
as a surprise even to the superintend-
ent of schools, had noticeable effect
upon the gathering.
Rhodes Makes Strong Talk.
The address of State Secretary
Rhodes was clear, logical and prac-
tical explanation of the functions and
value of Y. NJ C. A. in city and
it had the effect of removing prejud-
ice from the minds OF many, inspir-
ing advocates with new zeal and Civ
