FAIR AT WALLA
WALLA PRAISED

That Walla Walla has a good fair
and that yesterday was one of the
biggest days OF the six is the state
ment made by Pendletonians who cell
ebrated Pendleton. Travelling Mems
and w. o. w. Day at the fair yes
terday.
The knights Of the grip were pres
ent in force and added unusual mer-
riment to the festivities. In the eve
ming, particularly did they shine
forth, holding a kangaroo court be-
for which were ushered all of the
citys celebrities.
Among the victims of the court was
Secretary j. f.. Keefe of the CONNER
cial club and Roundup. Along with
the mayor of the city and other prom-
inent Walla Wallans he was cap
tured and placed inside the cage of
an express wagon. Brought before
the Judge who happened to be
Charles Buffum. he was fined fifty
cents for smoking cigar in the
presence of the court and was then
charged with attempting to steal the
Walla Walla baseball pennant. He
pleaded not guilty but, when being
threatened with further durance in
the cage, he changed his plea and had
another notch put in his bank roll.
Reports brought back are to the
effect that there will be several hum
dred people come out OF Walla Wal
la to attend the Roundup next week.

salt Lake. Utah, Sept. 19.-Bing-
ham is practically in a state of war
The whole camp is convulsed by the
struggle Of the 1000 striking miners
of the Utah Copper Mining company
and that corporation. Foreign strik-
ers are digging trenches, throwing up
breastworks and throwing out lines
Of armed pickets. Desultory firing
continued all the morning, but no
casualties are reported.
Sheriff Sharp has $50 armed depu-
ties. He threatens to charge the
miners and attempt TO drive them
from their positions. Governor Spry
has refused to call out the state
troops till he personally has investi-
gated the situation.
The national guard officers went
to Bingham today to look into the
situation. The strikers today cap
tired the powder house of the Utah
Construction company and took a ton
and half of dynamite. Destruction
OF the camp is feared.
President Meyer of the Western
Federation of Miners and other labor
officials, conferred this afternoon with
Governor Spry. 1t is reported that
two deputies were compelled by Moy-
er to attend the conference. Militia
men have been notified to be ready
to move to Bingham.

Salem, Or, Sept. 19.-Eighteen per-

State Engineer Lewis.
Among them was one issued to the

poses. According to the permit 1t
is the intention of the company to
engage in the manufacture of lumber
and pulp. The permit calls for the
appropriation of water from three

Trinidad, Colo, Sept 19.-Colonel
Roosevelt defended the progressive
plank for trust regulation today
which was attacked yesterday by Gov
ernor Wilson. He denied that Per-
kins and Gary suggested the methods
proposed by the progressives for trust
regulation. He said that while he
was president he advocated the meth
DDS in the progressive platform. He
declared that Wilson's assertion that
under the progressive plan the cor
porations would control the labor
market and the only chance of labor
il competition, Is untrue. He charg-
ed that Wilson was a believer in "un-
limited and reckless competition"
II wish to call attention. said
Roosevelt, that so far as know the
majority of men in control OF the
steel industry and harvester trust
support Wilson and Taft. The only
man connected with either of these
organizations supporting me is Geo.
w. Perkins. l am informed that In
Minnesota and North Dakota the har-
vester trust is supporting Wilson and
the officials OF the steel corporation
are divided between Wilson and Taft.
Taft and Wilson have the same atti-
surprising. that those opposing an
honest, effective trust regulation
should support Taft and Wilson"

CAR SHORTAGE HAS
NOW BECOME SERIOUS

Salem, Ore, Sept. 19.-With COM
plants arriving daily at the railroad
commissions office from shippers who
declare they are unable to secure
cars, it is apparent the predicted car
shortage already has hit the state.
and members of the commission ad-
nit the situation is already acute and
that unless relief comes from Califor-
MIA it will become grave.
Complaints were received today
from millmen in eastern Oregon de-
claring they are unable to secure cars
and the commission has taken the
subject up with the railroad compan-
les. Complaints were also received to-
day from dealers in wood on the
Yamhill division of the Southern Pa
cific, saying they are unable to get
cars. This industry seems to be suf-
fering most because of the shortage
OF cars. complaints having been re-
ceived from all portions of the state.
Harvesting the sugar beet crop in
California has required n large num-
her of cars. but advices now are to
the effect that the most of this crop
Is stored, and the commission hopes
to obtain relief from that state
should it not be possible to secure II
from this source, then the situation
will become serious, and all industries
will be affected.

REGULATION PLAN
IS TURNED DOWN

Though they all apparently favored
its object, the members of the city
council last evening voted down an
ordinance designed to secure a regu-
lation of the automobile passenger
carriers during the Roundup and to
prevent outside chauffeurs from COM
ing in and grating the people as
they did last year. For dit-
ferent reasons enough of the alder
men could not be made to agree upon
the provisions of the ordinance to Sc
cure its passage and the city now
confronts the same situation as last
year.
Those who are i'm position to
know state that last year a Walla
Walla concern came over with autos,
established a ticket stand on Alta
streets. made local machines pay
them a commission to operate with
them and carried away thousands OF
dollars. some of it made legitimately
and some otherwise. P. c. Sperry
and James Estes appeared before the
council last evening and presented an
ordinance which, they hoped would
prevent a repetition of this hold up"
The ordinance provided that no more
than fifty automobiles should be al
lowed to operate as public carriers,
that each should pay a $50 license to
the city and should carry number
showing 1t had been licensed Mr.,
Sperry explained that he could Sc
cure practically the full number of
machines here in the city and county
and thus keep the money at home
and. that by so doing, the price could
be regulated and made uniform.
Mayor Matlock objected to the linn
itation clause. one councilman
thought an outside concern might
come in and take out the full fifty
licenses. another thought it impos-
sible to force the chauffeurs to enter
into an agreement, several were in IA
vor of the ordinance and at least one
never ventured an opinion and never
voted when the question was put
the store into a high class chint store
vote, the matter was voted down anC
the situation. unless some other ac
, ton is taken at once, will be the SAM
as last year.
