Make Use Of scorched Timber.

The great forest fires which unfor-
tunately occur almost every autumn
leave vast quantities of fire killed
timber" This is now being used ex-
tensively for many purposes, being pre-
ferred in some cases to green timber.
Fruit growers, for instance, are said to
prefer 1t for packing boxes because It
is almost odorless and does not i'm
part an unnatural flavor to the fruit.
Telephone poles and railway ties are
also made to advantage from fire kill
ed timber.

GOVERNOR WEST IS AFTER GOOD ROADS
TALK OF POLITICAL MACHINE |NS|NCERE

While in the city yesterday inspect
ing the work on the branch asylum
Governor West freely discussed his
road views with local friends. The
governor is inspired with desire to
aid the good roads move. He is a
man who believes in improvements
and when he builds likes to build
well--a fact that is demonstrated by
the course he takes in reference to
the branch asylum. But he is not
irrevocably committed to any especial
plan.
II have been supporting the road
bills that have been up because they
provide for good roads. I will con-
tlnue to support them until some bet
ter bills are presented. But tif any
one can draft better bills l am ready
to give such bills my support
AS to the state aid provision the
governor points out several points
very much in favor of the same. One
thing is that q state aid law will pro.
vide for the taxation of all property
not merely country property, for road
purposes. At the present time about
two thirds the property Of the stat,

WANT ORDINANCE TO
REGULATE GASOLINE

AS a result of the recent fires in
Pendleton cleaning establishments,
the city will in all probability adopt
an ordinance regulating the amount
of gasoline and other explosives
which can be stored within the city
limits. Such an ordinance will doubt
less secure the removal of the clean
ing departments of the different shops
out of the city limits or to localities
where a fire will not jeopardize other
property.
c. S. Wheeler, the we'll known pho
tographer. who owns a building ad-
joining that of the Pendleton Clean
ing and Dyeing works on Alta street
appeared before the council last night
and urged that action be taken to
safeguard his own and other property
in the vicinity of cleaning establish
ments. He declared that the pres
ent conditions keep these property
owners in constant state of fear and
anxiety.
His complaint brought to light the
fact that the city at this time has no
ordinance such as most other cities
have regulating the storage of explo-
sives and the mayor referred the
matter to the ordinance committee
with instructions to draw up such an
ordinance and report it to the coun-

CALDWELL RETURNS FROM WASHINGTON
ENCOURAGED IN FIGHT FOR WATER RIGHT

After spending two weeks at the
national capital in the interests of
the fight he is making for the estab
lishment of water rights upon the
Umatilla reservation, William Cald-
well returned home this afternoon.
While in Washington Mr.. Caldwell
went over the situation very thor
oughly with officials in the Indian
bureau, the department of the inte-
rior and the department. of justice.
He was shown every courtesy and
talked with the various officials sew
eral times regarding the situation. He
was given much assistance by mem
bers of the oregon delegation and
particularly by Senator Bourne and
his secretaries. Mr. Caldwell speaks
very highly of Senator Bourne and
the regard in which he is held in
Washington.
AS to the prospects for having the
rights of the Indians to water estab-
lished, Mr.. Caldwell is much encour-
aged. Officials promised to go into

Negotiations in Great Brit
ain Suddenly End and
Men Quit Work.
100000 WILL BE IDLE
Compulsory Legislation Will Prob
ably BE Necessary to Bring About
Settlement and Government Holds
Troops Ready for Emergency.

London, Feb. 29.-Nearly nine
hundred thousand coal miners
throughout the United Kingdom
struck this afternoon and it is expect
ed that a million will be out tomor-
row, according to reports received by
Premier Asquith, who tried to set
tie the differences. More wages are
asked by the mine workers.
Reports at late hour show that
the walkout is complete The strike
leaders say the tie-up will affect 9TH
er industries and that at least one
million men in other industries will
be thrown out of employment.
Orders for the big strike followed
negotiations between government of
ficials, mine owners and the mon for
the past week.
The coal operators absolutely re-
fused to treat with the men, who de-
manded a general acceptance of a
minimum wage scale, claiming mine
owners propositions were unfair to
the men. The owners stood pat and
the strike came with the expiration
of their working agreement.
At o'clock tonight, S4S 900 men
We're out
Compulsory legislation seems the
only way of settling the great strike,
in a desperate effort to prevent the
paralysis of trade.
Realizing that the country Is fac
ing a crisis the government is hold
ing troops in readiness for instant
service.

is exempt from paying for roads.
Without state aid law Multnomah
county, with one third the assessment
of the state will have no way of as
sisting in paying for permanent roads
outside of Multnomah county
Another feature pointed out by the
governor is the fact that the state de-
rives considerable revenue from in
direct sourse. He is of the opinion
this indirect revenue will increase
with the future and that unless we
have state aid in road building none
of that money will be available for
road work.
That there is nothing to the charge
made against Governor West by some
that he desires to use a state road
policy to build up a political machine
is best shown by the actions of the
committee which the governor re.
Gently named to bring the warrins
elements together. This committe,
has reported in favor of a state ait
bill under which most of the roat
work will be done entirely under
county control with a state highwa,
official acting in a merely advisor,
capacity.

UNIDENTIFIED BODY
OF SUICIDE BURIED

Unidentified, the body of the man
who was discovered yesterday near
the railroad track between Cayuse
and Mission was brought to the city
today and inferred in the cemetery.
There is no papers about his clothes
to give a clew to his name and his
features had been so badly disfigured
by birds that it was impossible to
secure much of a description of his
looks.
According to Coroner Folsom, he
appeared to be about fifty years old
and had red hair and a red moustache.
He was dressed in very respectable
clothes and in one of his pockets was
a good sized gold nugget.
That he was a suicide is considered
certain in view of the fact that bot
tie of poison was found a few feet
from the body. A chemical analysis
proved that the contents was cyan
ide of potassium, a deadly poison, in
stead of snow" as thought yester-
day. The position of the body indi-
Gated that the man had suffered from
severe cramps before death.
Coroner Folsom estimates that the
man had been dead four or five
months, the body being in bad state

Lawrence, Feb. 29.-That a quan-
tity of dynamite, found in a train
load of goods for the American
Woolen company, was another plant
by mill owners to arouse the public
sentiment against the strikers was
the assertion made here today by
strike leaders. William Haywood,
former secretary of the Western Fed
Grafton of miners, who is directing
the strike, said that the fact that
federal detectives are to make an
investigation, caused private detec-
tives to realize that they had to rid
themselves of the explosives and took
this means of doing it. The strikers
are elated and declare their fight is
almost won.
That the fight against the strikers
is collapsing, is shown by the scar
city of arrests, which are becoming
fewer. On last Saturday forty were
arrested; Monday, thirty; Tuesday,
forty-two. Wednesday, with the
publicity given to the outrages by the
United Press, which brought govern
ment investigators on the scene. only
two were arrested.
Today, although the strike pickets
are more active than they have been
for two weeks, not a single striker
had been arrested at noon.
The impression is strong that the
milowners have found their clubbing
campaign was a boomerang and they
are pulling in their horns.

LOCAL MILL BUYS
EARLY WOOL CLIP

An Interested wool sale was made
here yesterday when Clarence Bishop,
manager of the Pendleton wooden
mills, purchased the lamb wool of the
Cunningham Sheep & Land company
of Pilot Rock. There are 5000 fleeces
and the lambs have already been
shorn. The price has not been made
public but it is known that the price
paid was a slight advance over the
price paid for the same wool year
ago.
The wool purchased is to be used
in the manufacture of the products
of the Pendleton woolen mill and
shows the local mill to be not merely
OF benefit from manufacturing
standpoint but also from the stand
point of the woolgrower.

JUDGES NOT ABOVE
gas JOHNSON
California Governor Says
Only Bad Jurists
Menaced

Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 29-Strong
arguments, favoring the initiative and
referendum and recall were made to-
day by Governor Johnson of .califor-
MIA, speaking before the Ohio Con-
stitutional convention.
He especially advocated the recall
of the judiciary, explaining that this
measure tended to make judges more
careful in rendering decisions.
This is in opposition to Colonel
Roosevelt's stand on the recall. Mr..
Roosevelt favors the recall of decis-
ions.
Speaking on the recall, Governor
Johnson said: 1T seems bit strange
that the opponents of the judiciary
recall will admit that the voters have
sense enough to elect a judge and
re-elect him, but cannot pass upon
his qualifications one, three or five
years hence.
"The argument hurled at us is that
a judge, under the recall, would be
swayed by popular opinion. Our re-
ply is that we much prefer him to
keep his ear to the ground than in
the tracks of the special interests.
Judges are but men; they have
the same blood and are actuated by
the same impulses and by the same
bad spirits of action, as the rest of
us.
THE recall will make no weak
judge weaker or strong judge less
strong.
1T menaces just one kind of judge
the corrupt judge-and he ought
to be menaced"
