STATE WIDE
COMMERCIAL
CLUB IS PLAN
Central Organization for Denver to
Represent all Similar Bodies
in the State
The Greater Colorado Commercial

The Greater Colorado Comercial
congress is an accomplished fact.
Commercial organizations of the
state have been endeavoring for
some time to arouse sufficient inter-
est in the project to enable each
county to have in Denver one or
more commissioners to represent
that county in the central CONNER
cial organization of the state. These
delegates now have been named and
all that remains is the actual or
ganization of the congress for the
election of officers and the estab-
lishment of headquarters in Denver
The first meeting of the congress
will be called for some day nex'
week, as soon as word has been re
ceived from the various organiZa
tions as to the day that will be mos
convenient for a majority of them.
The plan of the congress is t.
have each county of tn state rep
resented by one or more men re
siding in Denver who have persona
interest in the county they ar
chosen to represent. 1t is expecte
that when the congress is organize
and in working order, when ques
ton of interest to the entire state
or to a particular county, comes uT
| the Denver representative of tn
counties affected will take up tn
matter and insure the counties o

Ault. Jan. 10.-Ault is the center
of heated discussion and debates are
waging over the question at issue

controversy is when was the cold

thermometer went down to So de-

CITY HAS
BALANCE
IN Cash
About $4,000 Not Used
Last Year Will go In
to Contingent Fund
for This Year.

In contrast with the county Of
Weld the city of Greeley did not
waste the taxpayers money last
year. On the contrary consider
able saving will be shown when the
books of the city treasurer are bal
anced and the various funds appor-
toned.
Tuesday night the council ord
cred the books to be balanced for
the last year. Although the exact
amount is not at hand, it is esti-
mated that there will be a balance
of some $4,000 that was appro-
priated last year for various funds
which were not entirely expended,
SO that approxim ately this amount
will be turned into the contingent
fund for this year.
The building ordinance, which
has been under preparation for
many months, did not come up last
night for discussion. 1t is expected
that this ordinance will be placed

PEND[ETON IN TR|-STATt BASEBALL LEAGUE
IS ENDORSED BY LOCAL COMMERCIAL CLUB

Encouraging developments during
the last twenty-four hours make the
tri-state baseball league with clubs in
Boise, Baker, La Grande, Pendleton,
Walla Walla and North Yakima much
more of a probability than before.
Not only did the Walla Walla Com
mercial Club heartily endorse the
movement but the board of managers
of the local Commercial association
at a luncheon today added its en-
dorsement providing the people of
Pendleton feel favorable to such a
league. w. f. Brock was appointed
to act with the baseball committee
in an endeavor to ascertain the sem
timent and many of the fans now
profess the belief that the league is
now certainty.
At the luncheon today, President
] F. Robinson read the following
telegram from w. n. Sweet, the Boise
representative who is working up
league sentiment in the different
cities:
"Walla Walla with us without dis
senting voice. Committee appointed
and will get busy tomorrow. Am
leaving for Yakima tomorrow morn
ing, returning here Sunday morning.
Hope you can wire me there or here
Sunday as want to arrange organiza-

ton meeting in your city not later
than Wednesday,"
Following the decision reached by
the managers. a message telling of
the action was sent to Mr.. Sweet.
According to the figures compiled by
Sweet, such a baseball venture as
proposed Will be almost self sus-
tanning. Each team is required to
raised at the commencement of the
season the sum of $250O. The salary
limit is fixed at $1,000 and the gate
receipts are to be divided As and As
with the remaining 10 per cent go
ing TO sinking fund to defray league
expenses. Receipts from holiday
games are to be pooled and six
games are to be played weekly in
Boise, Walla walla and North Va
kima, while only three are to be
scheduled for the other three cities.
Sweet figures that to make the
league self sustaining the gate re-
ceipts from games played in walla
Walla and Boise must be $4,000
each, from North Yakima $4,000.
from Baker $4,000. from Pendleton
$4,000 and from La Grande s250O.
This would give each team SS0S3
while the estimated expense of each
club for the season would be s7sSS.
Local fans are expressing favorable
opinions of the idea and believe It
will materialize.

cational institutions turning out more
female graduates than male.
But politically, she declared, woman
has been overlooked-in all but six
states of the Union-and declaring
that these six states had found the
necessity of women in politics. Mrs.
Erhgott urged Oregon men to open
their eyes, predicting the same reve-
lation.
Answering the typical argument
that it is unwomanly to vote. she ex-
planned that women are not asking
for votes because they want to shirk
the duties of mothers or become less
womanly, but because they want to
become better women and more ca
pable mothers, having found that pol
itics have entered the home and fol-
low the members of each home every

food, clothing, education. amusement

posed to be, by laws which are in

tanned that woman's sphere is no
longer confined to the home, that she
herself occupies but to the paths fol-
lowed by her children away from

members of her sex are engaged in
discouraging struggles with existence,

DESERT BANDITS
SLAY PROSPECTOR

San Bernardino, Calf, March 29.-
Attacked by robbers in the Mojave
desert Lee Smith is dead and Claude
Anderson is on the verge of a mental
collapse, according to hospital at
tendants, to whom Anderson told his
terrible story-of a desert battle and
his subsequent suffering, on his ar

Both men lived at Fort Gibson.
Okla. They left San Bernardino three
months ago for a prospecting tour.
According to Anderson the desert
bandits killed Smith and buried his
body in the sand and left Anderson
for dead.
A Santa Fe railroad crew found
Anderson lying on his stomach, with
an axe in his hand, closely guarding
squirrel hole.
With the axe he attacked the rail-
road men when they approached, but
because of his weakened condition
they easily overpowered him.
Deputy Sheriff Todd left for the
Desert today to search for Smiths
body.

MUNICIPAL WATER
PLANT, PILOT ROCK

Pilot Rock will probably have a
within the next year if efforts being
made by Mayor Casteel and the coun-
Gil of that town are successful. James
p. Neal, city attorney of Freewater,
was recently retained to put the
charter and records in a shape that
would permit the little city to bond
itself for a water system and he met
with the council Wednesday evening
to discuss the matter.
Under the present charter, it is i'm
possible for Pilot Rock to bond her
self for a sum sufficient to install a
system but the progressive council
was not to be baked in its purpose
by such trivial matter and imme-
diately employed Mr.. Neal to make
such alterations in the records as are
necessary to legalze a bond issue.
The attorney, who is in Pendleton to-
day, announced that he would have
the work completed within a few
days.
Pilot Rock is at present without
a water system and its need is one
greatly felt In line with other pro-
gressive steps being taken by the lit
tie southend city, the council has de-
cided that where there is will there
is a way and has embarked upon an
attempt to provide the inhabitants
