FIRST BATCH WATER
CERTIFICATES REED

Thirty-two water users on Mud
creek in the northern part of the
county are the first in the county to
secure certificates of their water
rights from the state board of control.
County Clerk Frank Sailing today re-
ceived these certificates defining the
amount of acre feet to which each
tract of land along Mud creek is en-
titled and, as soon as they have been
recorded on the county books, they
will be sent to the water users.
1t will be remembered that in con-
formance with n recent law, all wa
ter users of Umatilla county We're re-
quired to submit to the board of con-
troll the amount of water which they
had been accustomed to use in the
past so that the amount expressed in
positive and definite terms could be
assigned to the different lands. Ger
tificates will probably not be receiv-
ed by water users along the tribu-
taries of the Umatilla for some time
owing to the delay caused by the in
stitution of adjudication suits by the
government

TAFT AGAIN PLEADS
FOR BIG BUSINESS
President Uses Full Din
ner Pail" Argument In
New Form

Aboard Tafts Special, Canton, o.,
March S.-En route to Toledo, where
he will speak tonight, President Taft
addressed 1000 people at Alliance,
Ohio, and said that agltating and
creating a lack of confidence is not
good and the people want quiet and
confidence and then stability will
come.
He said:
Assuming that everyone is obeying
the law, it is prosperity and business
that we should look to.
Agitation and creating lack of con-
fidence among those having capital
invested is not for the peoples good.
Therefore what we want is that
quiet confidence that makes every
one look after his own business and
put as much money into it as he can.
Then jobs will be many; wages will
rise. We will all have money with
which to buy shoes for our children
and those liking comfort can enjoy
it,
1T is wise that we should not cul-
tivate hostility between classes and
between persons in similar situations
ana we should have confidence in
each other because we all are in the
same boat"

CONCORD STAGEC0ACH
HERE FOR ROUNDUP

After a trip clear across the con-
tinent. the old Concord stage-coach
presented to the Roundup by Ed
ward Arlington of the 101 Ranch ar
rived in Pendleton last night via the
O.-W r. & n. and tomorrow MORN
ing it will be paraded through Main
street. Because of the fact that it is
but one of the very Few Of this type
of early carriers in existence, it Is an
object of great curiosity and inter-
est
To f. w. Robinson, general freight
agent of the O.-W r. & N, the
Roundup is largely indebted for the
new acquisition. He located it in
Lake View, New Jersey, and it was
through him that Arlington rendered
it to the local association. Original
ly it traversed the plains and noun
tains of oklahoma and, could it but
speak. could unfold a history of stir
ring excitement and adventure un-
doubtedly. AS is the case with most
old stage coaches, the distinction is
claimed for it that General Grant
once rode in it.
Though the coach itself is pres
ent to the Roundup. it was not Sc
cured without expense for the freight
, charges on it amounted to more than
$500.

the Amundsen expedition, dispatches
that reached London from various
points gave early reports that the
Norwegian explorer had not been sue
cessful in his quest. Later. However,
a Copenhagen dispatch said that the
Social Democraten had published
news from Christiana that a telegram
from a member of the Fran expedi-
ton declared that Amundsen haC
declared that Amundsen had reached
the South Pole.
Other reports seem to confirm this,
and at the same time to dispose of
the rumor that Captain Scott had
reached the pole. None of the auth
critics here were inclined to credit
this latter report unconfirmed.
In the race for the pole, British
ers. while hoping for the success of
the British representative, entertain
ed a fear that Captain Amundsen
would win the honor as his previous
experience made him a formidable
competitor. 1t was he who discov-
cred the Northwest passage in 1903.
Amundsen had with him a hardy
band of Norwegians who undoubted-
ly were aided by skis in traversing
the glacial ice and he puts his faith
in Siberian dogs for the supply sledg-
es. He had an advantage of nearly
eight months over Captain Scott in
the race for the pole and his base of
supplies was nearly 100 miles nearer
the goal Moreover, his was not a
scientific expedition, but one designed
to move swiftly.
The steamer Fran is the vessel
with which DR.. Nansen made a jour
ney of thousands of miles in the Arc
tic ocean in 19O3-06. and on which
Amundsen planned to drift with the
Arctic ice to the North pole. Amund-
sen started in April, 1909, to carry
out this drifting trip in search of the
North pole, but changed his plans in
the following year, proceeded by way
of South America for the Antarctic
Early in 1911 Lieutenant Pennell of

APPROVAL OF WEST UMAT|LLA EXTENSION
BY FISHER IS OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED

However, among those informed
regarding reclamation affairs it is
said that the approval by the secre-
tary makes the extension assured, pro-
vided the necessary number of land
owners sign up with the government.
They point out that the secretary
of the interior would scarcely an
nounce his formal approval of the
extension unless it first had the ap-
proval of the extension cmfwypcmf
proval of the president also. The di-
rector of the reclamation service has
already approved the project.
The engineering board reported in
favor of project that will reclaim a
total of $4,000 acres of land, the first
unit being reclaimed through use OF
waters on the lower river diverted by
means of a diversion dam at Three
Mill falls and the remainder of the
project being watered through use OF

London, Eng, March S.-Confirma-
ton OF the success of Captain Road
Amundsen. the Norwegian explorer, in
reaching the South Pole ahead OF
Captain Scott of England, was receiv-
ed here today by the London Express
the newspaper which first received the
news of the alleged success of scott
The announcement came in dis
patch dated at Hobard, Tasmania, a
small island off the southern shore or
Australia, where it is said that cap
tain Amundscn has just arrived on
his homeward journey on the steam
er Fran. He forced his crew to re-
main on board the ship and success
fully prevented the details from leak
ing out.
Another dispatch which was receiv-
ed by the London Star, stated that
when Amundsen was asked at Hobart
il Captain Scott had reached the pole,
Amundsen refused to make definite
reply.
In the dispatch to the Express and
purported to have been sent by
Amundsen himself, it said: pole
reached fourteenth, seventeenth De-
cember." 1t viii be noted that the
dispatch does not say who reached
the pole; whether Amundsen OF
Scott. 1t is generally believed here
however, that it means that Amund-
sen was the successful explorer.
The dispatch further states that the
Norwegian would visit San Francisco
before returning to Europe. going
first to Buenos Ayres, Brazil, after
a weeks stay at Hobart From Buen-
os Ayres he will sail around the Horn
of South America to San Francisco
and later drift through the Northwest
passage to European waters.
The fact that no direct news has
been received from Captain Scott
leads to the general belief here that
Ammdsen reached the pole first.
1t is reported that he remained
there three days. II Amundsen re-
mained at the pole three days, it is
admitted that observations, he is re-
ported to have claimed he made
could not have well been faxed.

There should be men enough from
his squad to furnish two or three good
men for each town and with the best
of local talent thrown in, a club can
be organized in each town that will
put up real baseball. A few pitchers
can be easily obtained by each club.
Cohn has some good men that he
wants in a year or two but desires
them to gain more experience and
therefore will ask them to play here.
Jones will probably be one of these.
He is one Of the most promising young
