over to him by Harry f. Bickers. who
had resigned from the office, and he
is now actively engaged in the prep
arations for the annual UmatillaMor
row county fair.
At the meeting yesterday, the board
members discussed among themselves
measures for the betterment of the
fair and all agreed that this year
adequate provision must be made for
the entertainment of the visitors which
throng the pavilion each night. The
unanimous sentiment favored the Sc
curing of some good vaudeville troupe
to put on number of different
sketches and acts each night and the
secretary was instructed to get in
touch with someone who could fur
nish the desired talent.
Vice President Frank Frazier was
appointed to take charge of the al
lotment of exhibition space in the pa

been made for space and 1t is antici-

ENGLAND ANGRY AT
J. BRYCE AND TAFT
Recall of Ambassador Threatened
as Result of Reciprocity
Agitation

London, May 2.-The recall of
James Bryce, British ambassador to
the United States, who sailed yester-
day from San Francisco for Australia
is threatened today according to re-
ports, as result of the publication
of the letters written by President
Taft to Theodore Roosevelt, in which
Taft said that under the proposed
reciprocity agreement with Canada
the United States would get much the
better of it. 1t is rumored on the
streets that Ambassador Bryce has
been recalled but no verification is
possible.
President Taft's letter, as published
in the United States, will soon be
brought up in the house of commons
and it is expected that some action.
concerning Bryce's recall will be
taken.
The conservatives plan TO inquire
why Ambassador Bryce failed to re-
port on President Taft's views. The
evening papers say President Taft's
advocacy of the treaty when he knew
the United States would get the bet
ter of the bargain, was an unfriendly
act

Several bills were allowed and it
was decided to advertise for bids for

NORTH YAKIMA WILL
PLAY 2 GAMES HERE
CARROTS Buckarooes TO Meet Fast
Independent Team Last
of This Week

With the crack North Yakima base
ball team as their opponents, CARROTS
Buckarooes of the Tri-state League,
will next Saturday and Sunday be call
ed upon to show their class in what
may safely be termed one of the hot
test contested diamond battles of this
season at Roundup park.
While the Yakima aggregation is
not a league team, it is made up of
players who are known for fast travel
ing and Walla Walla has already
tasted the bitterness of defeat at the
hands of the maulers from the Wash
ington apple-growing district.
The Yakima team had arranged to
again play in Wal!a Walla on those
dates but having scored a victory over
the Trlstate club of the latter city and
knowing the importance OF having the
scalps of other league teams dangling
from their belts, the management con-
sented to pass up the Walla Walla en-
gagement for the Pendleton games.
when the officers of the local organ
iZation met the terms demanded
which called for a princely sum.
The contest is really the Inaugural
tion of the baseball season in this city
as the rivalry between the independ-
ent team and the league clubs is as
bitter as will later be manifest be
tween the various teams of the new
league.
This afternoon the locals are engag-
ed in combat with Whitman college al
Roundup park and tomorrow the
Buckarooes will go to Pilot Rock to
meet the team of that place

W. H. BABB, PIONEER
DIES IN CANADA

Coming as a great shock to his host
of friends in this county is the an
nouncement today that w. II. Babb,
one OF the pioneer stockmen OF TINS
county and for many years resident
of Pendleton, had suddenly died o.
heart failure at his home in Medicine
Hat, Alberta, this morning. The sad
news was contained in telegram re-
ceived this morning by Mayor w. f.
Matlock. a lifelong friend of the de-
ceased. The message was short, say
ing that Mr. Babb had expired while
at the steering wheel of his auto ana
that the machine had run for dis
tance of fifty yards after his death
without an accident.
What makes the shock all the
greater is the fact that 1t has only
been a few weeks since the deceased
and his wife visited at their old
home here and spent several days in
Pendleton and Echo, at which latter
place they still own the old Babn
farm. Mr.. Babb was probably known
to every person in the county up un-
til the time he left here eight or nine
wears ago and was widely known as a
horseman throughout the state. In
