Desire for Meat Ration.

The observing poultry raiser cannot
fail to note how eagerly young chicks
seize any kind of a scrap OF meat.
They will pull and tug and tumble

This indicates the desire which na-

BACKBONE OF COLD
WAVE is BROKEN

Suffering citizens of Pendleton will
welcome the representations and in
dications of warmer weather for this
community. Supporting the forecast
of the government weather bureau,
the mercury in the thermometer did
not fall as low last night as the night
before and today 1t has been suffici-
emily high to admit of exposure on
the streets without great discomfort.
Although none of the snow In PEN
dleton was melted today, reports from
Pilot Rock and outlying district have
been received to the effect that a Chi
nook has visited these nearby sections
and that the snow is being turned in
to water. Local weather prophets
predict that the warm wind Is about
due to reach this city and there are
few who would regret such an arrival,
although some of the farmers would
not complain IL the snow remained
for a few days longer.
The train service of the city is still
in badly demoralized condition. No
train from the east except stubs has
reached Pendleton since Sunday af-
ternoon at o'clock owing to a snow
blockade in. the mountains, and all
trains from the west over the O.-W
r. & N. lines are coming in many
hours late. the drifting snow near The
Dalles giving the railroad workers
much trouble.

Much Larger This Year
Than in 1911, Account Of
State Demand.
COUNTY TAX ABOUT SAME
Citizens Will Pay Total
Tax OF Over Two Cents on Every
Dollars Worthy Of Property They
Own.

1t Is now possible for the property
owner of Umatilla county to ascertain
exactly how great a tribute will be
demanded of him in taxes for the
next year, the county court at its ses-
sion today fixing the general state and
county levy at eight mills divided as
follows: for state, three mills or $751;
966.75; for general county expenses.
one and one-sixth mills of $55,376.00;
for school purposes one and <wenty-
nine sixtieths mills of s67,S30.00 (this
amount is fixed on the basis of ten
dollars per capita for school children) !;
for roads, two and one third mills or
$95,000; for library purposes, one
sixtieth of mill or $500
This general tax is larger than that
of last year but the increase is due
to the demands of the state and not
of the county. the levy fixed for coun-
ty purposes being practically the
same.
This levy of eight mills means that
Pendleton property owners will pay
taxes at the rate of 20 $3.50 mills or
every dollars worth of property
which rate is 2 31--60 mills highe,
than last year. The city tax this yeal
Is nine mills. the same as last year
and the school tax is six mills, one
mill higher than last year, and in
asmuch as Pendleton and all incor
porated towns are exempt from tn,
general road tax, the total for thi.
city Is brought up to 20 $3.50 mills

.RICHESON DOOMED
TO DIE NEXT MAY
Pleads Guilty and Almost
CoIIapses When
Sentenced.

Boston, Mass. Jan. 9.-Pleading
guilty to a charge of murder in the
first degree for killing his former
sweetheart, Avis Linnel, Rev. Clar-
ence Virgil T. Richeson this afternoon
was sentenced to be electrocuted In
the electric chair during the week OF
May 18th.
Richeson almost dropped to the
floor when Judge Sanderson pro-
nounced sentence on him. The muir
derous clergyman was hardly able to
stand until the sentence was pro-
nounced.
The proceedings, aside from the
minister's demeanor, were not sensa-
tional, as deputies had cleared the
court room when the time approach
ed for the arrival of Richeson and his
attorneys and guards.
The ordeal was over in less than
fifteen minutes. The minister limp
ed badly as a result of his self mutt
lation several weeks ago.
Governor Foss is now the only one
who can save the minister from pay
ing the penalty of his cowardly crime
in the electric chair. Many believe
that the governor will commute the
death sentence to life Imprisonment,

NOT A CRIME TO
SOLICIT BRIBE

Portland, Ore, Jan. 9.-Deciding
that under the statutes of Oregon 1t
is no crime for judge or other pub
lie official to solicit bribe, State Cir
cult Judge r. Morrow dismissed an
indictment against Max G. Cohen, a
lawyer of this city.
Cohen was charged with having,
while acting as municipal judge dur
ing the absence of Judge George Taz-
we'll offered to dismiss charge
against one Eleanor Maceo if she
would employ an attorney by Cohen
at a fee of $3.50.
The indictment returned by the
grand jury was based upon an alieg-
ed affidavit by the Maceo woman that
Cohen had made such offer but that
she replied that she would "see about
it." The statement of the woman
that she did not agree to comply with
Cohen's alleged offer was seized up
on by Cohens attorney as grounds for
invalidating the indictment and they
were upheld in their contention.

New York, n. ", Jan. 9.-Ten per-
sons are known to have lost their
lives and late estimates place the
property loss at $4,000, 900, as the
result of the destruction by fire this
morning of the fourteenth story
building of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance society and other buildings in
the same block, which is bounded by
broadway, Cedar, Nassau and Pine
streets
The Equitable building was sup
posed to be fire proof. A high wind
was blowing at the time of the fire
and spread the flames. More than
three thousand firemen battled with
the flames all morning and succeeded
in getting it under control at noon.
Fire Chief Walsh was among the
number who perished. He fell with
the third floor when it collapsed and
his body was precipitated into vault
in the basement.
The rescue of President Gibbin of
the Mercantile Safety Deposit COM
pany, was dramatic in the extreme.
Locked in a steel vault with the
flames paying about them, firemen
sawed at the steel bars while other
firemen played streams of water on
them.
Meanwhile Father Mclean, fire de-
partment chaplain, went to the vault
and amid the flames with the water
freezing to his garments, the priest
calmly administered the last rites to
the dying men who accompanied Glib
bon.
After several hours the steel bars
which prevented Gibbin and Fireman
Sheehan and Campion from escaping
were broken and the men dragged
out.
Gibbin was probably fatally burn
ed, Campion was dead when gotten
out and Sheehan was unconscious.
