WATCH THIS BILL

A NEW bill has been or will be intro
duced at Annapolis, relating to Fertili-
zers and providing that the manufactur-
ers shall tag each bag sent out from the
factory with tags officially certified by
the State Chemist, etc, etc. careful
examination of the Bill will reveal the
fact that 1t adds nothing to the pur-
chaser'a protection; it simply adds to
the cost OF his fertili er. The cost Of
tags, furnished, etc, will not be paid
eventually by the manufacturer, but BY
the purchaser, and Tor wholly useless
guarantee. The laws of Maryland, as
they now stand, give the purchaser every
facility for assuring himself as to the
nature and quality OF the goods he is buy

st. Cloud, Fla, January 2.
Mr.. Editor:
Dear Sir-I never see any news in your
valuable paper from Florida. Fruit is
abundant here this year and bringing
good prices. A man from California was
here the other day. He said some Flor
ida oranges were shipped there and oil
put on them and they were set on fire !;
so they would not take the lead in COM
petition with California oranges. The
Boys from Rising Sun are having a
splendid time in the Sunny South, eat
ing strawberries and all kinds of vege-
tables Will remain here the winter
months. ] am true blue and long
time reader of your paper Glad you have
such good memory that you can tell
Democrats just what they are and what
they have done. Fire it into them
Yours very respectfully

MR.. WILSON AND
BRYAN TO MEET
TO HOLD A CONFERENCE
President Elect Will Meet With Ne
braslIan After Formers Return
From Bermuda-Bryan Not Going
to Islands-Wilson's Days Pleasant
Taking Much Rest.

Hamilton Bermuda. Nov %
Woodrow Wilson has written a letter
to William ]. Bryan inviting him to
from Bermuda.
The president-elect will confer
with Mr.. Bryan as one of the leaders
of the democratic party, but he also
will take counsel with a number of
the other democratic leaders.
1t is announced definitely that Mr..
Bryan is not coming to Bermuda and
that he has not been invited to do
so.
After the Thanksgiving dinner yes
terday, Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson went
driving and in the evening attended
an amateur performance of "Our Mu-
tual Friend"
Being president-elect of the United
States and being merely Woodrow
Wilson, a citizen in search of rest in
a British colony in mid-ocean, do not
differ in the slightest. Governor
Wilson recalled his previous vacations
in the Bermudas when as president of
Princeton university he sought rest
and quiet here.
It's not a bit different" he said,
as he stood on the veranda of his
home. Everything is the same as
before. Many more people have call
ed on me to be sure. but l am having
just the kind of vacation l wanted,
with plenty of rest and exercise"
The president-elect has no fixed
program on any day He varies his
vacation pleasures with the days as
they come. He sleeps long time and
on rainy afternoons he takes an ad-
ditional nap. His correspondence is
negligible. His secretaries at home
were instructed to send mail only of
the most urgent character and to
date have not sent a single letter.

TO CAP|TULATE
HIGH SCHOOL WINS GAME
by Score of 6 to 3, PendletOn \. A.
Club Is Beaten in Football Yester-
day AfternOon-EormeP Heroes of
Gridiron Lack Team Work-Many
Features.

History repeated itself again yes
terday afternoon when the bunch of
all-star football players. this time rep
resenting the +. A A. c., went down
to defeat at Roundup Park before
the light. snappy machine represent
ing the Pendleton high school. The
final score was to 3, which proves
that the contest was by no means one
sided.
A number of the old heroes failed
to make an appearance at the field,
but fortunately there were enough to
make a team though various shifts
were necessary when any player re-
tired. During the first half, the high
school boys uncorked a series of for
ward passes which gabbled the old
guard for some time. 1t was one of
these that sailed over the goal line
into the waiting arms of Kirkpatrick
and was responsible for the side of
the score sheet.
The three points made by the club
team We're made by the trusty hoof
of Nick Kimball, who executed a neat
in the second quarter, the oval sail
ing squarely between the goal posts.
The academies We're unable to make
any CONSTANT yardage against their
heavier opponents in the second half
but their own line, too, was almost
impregnable and failed to yield the
clubmen many first downs.
The game proved that there is an
abundance of material from which to
develop a first class club team with a
little practice and coaching. Yester-
day the team showed a woeful lack
of team work though the individual
playing of u number of the players
stood out boldly. Gaffney, the little
lightweight boxer, held down one end
and electrified the crowd several times
by his fierce tackling. Bowler, the
ex-Denver high and University of Col
orado tackle, tore a number of good
sized holes in the rocky high school
wall, while Asbahr, who worked with
him at guard, also showed himself
tricky man to handle. Kinersly, for
merly of The Dalles, did some good
work at the other tackle position,
while jim Hill at half displayed some
of the whirlwind form which made
him terror in the days when he
wore a Whitman uniform. KimbalL
besides booting the ball for his team
mates only score, shone brilliantly
several times in carrying the ball

teams lined up for the fray:

ADAMS MAN SER|OUSLYWOUNDED IN
CUTTING AFFRAY; is BROUGHT HERE

Dorsey Green, a well known young
man of Adams, is lying in the local
hospital with a half dozen ugly knife
wounds in his body as a result of a
cutting affray at Adams yesterday
afternoon which made Thanksgiving
day one of excitement in that little
town. Everett McCullen, another
young man of that place, is being held
under $4,000 bonds, charged with the
assault
The row, which came so near re-
sulting fatally according to advices
obtained here by the officers, was
precipitated by Green. who, intoxicat-
ed and looking for trouble, went to
the upper warehouse at Adams where
McCullen. his father-in-law, two
brothers-in-law and others were
working. He was accompanied by
John Blake.
Green, it is said, started quarrel
and seemed inclined to use his
fists upon young McCullen, who re-
sponded by drawing a pocket knife
and slashing Green about the abdo-

TROOPS ARE BEING Modified
IN EVENT OF WAR WITH RUSSIA
THORN HOLLOW WORK.
PROCEEDING RAPIDLY
RIGHT OF WAY NEXT

Work on the laying of the terra
Gotta pipe line from the Thorn Hol-
low springs to the head of the pro-
posed city pipe line is now proceeding
rapidly, according to Chairman j. T.
Brown. When this work is completed
it will be possible to estimate exactly
the daily flow of the springs so as to
ascertain whether the Thorn Hollow
water will be sufficient for the city
or whether it will be necessary to
make use of the Chaplsh spring also.
A further step towards securing the
new gravity system for Pendleton will
be taken as soon as Engineer Frank
C. Kelsay completes his profile mays
of the new pipe line route to the city.
When that data arrives the board will
take up the proposition of securing
the right of way from the springs to
the city. After that work has been
completed the board will then pro-
ceed with the main task of laying the
pipe line and will ask the city coun-
Gil to sell the bond issue voted by the
people two years ago.
Though the title to the Chaplish
spring and adjoining land has not
yet been secured by the board it is
held by the chairman that this fact
need cause 70 delay or anxiety since
congress has passed legislation in
structing the interior department to
sell the spring and land to the city.
The members of the commission may
ask for a new appraisement of the
land, however, regarding the price
set upon the same by Major Swartz-
lander as being too high.
