OUTLOOK BRIGHTENS
FOR LOCAL Y. M. C. A.

Members of the local Y. NJ. c. A.
committee met last evening in the
Commercial club rooms with Secretary
Rhodes of Portland and the general
subject of Y. NJ. c. A. for Pendleton
was discussed and work outlined for
the near future.
All reports received were of a very
encouraging nature and geneal op-
tmism was exposed over the outlook.
The sentiment was declared to be
very favorable for the establishment
of a Y. NJ. c. A. in this city and the
views expressed also showed that the
general desire is to build a very sub
stantial structure so that it will thor
oughly meet all possible needs. 1t is
possible that the building may be To-
Gated so that considerable income
from rentals may be obtained.
AT the meeting last night Mr..
Rhodes discussed at length the gen.
eral features of Y. NJ. C. A. and the
possibilities of securing one here. He
estimates that the natural revenue
from membership dues and rentals
VIII be nearly sufficient to meet an
nual expenses, though a small sum
might have to be raised each year.
This evening or tomorrow Rhodes
VIII leave for La Grande and Baker
to be gone fo several days. He ex-
poets to eturn to Pendleton the lat
Ter part of the week to take up fur
ther work in this city.

YUAN ISSUES
FIRST MESSAGE
President of New Chinese Republic
Proclaims Policy of Progress
venesS for Country.
LIBERAL GRANTS MADE
Religious Freedom, Decreasing of
Army and Other Features Of Mes
sage Make Favorable Impression
on Subjects.

Peking, April 30.-Yuan Shi Kai,
president of the Chinese republic, de-
livered at the opening session of the
advisory council which virtually is a
provincial senate. his first presidential
message. He proclaimed that the
principle of the new Chinese govern
ment must be the maintenance of or
der in the territory, the achievement
Of progress and the retention of ex-
ternal friendships which are necessary
to the existence of the Chinese.
The attitude of foreign powers in
recent years. he said had been such as
to merit the gratitude of China. The
people, he said, should rejoice over the
establishment of a republic after
thousands of years of despotism The
most important matter at present, the
president said, was finance. Foreign
capital was essential to China and
the government was drafting the prin-
ciples of a financial reform.
Pending the big loan the govern
ment would, he said, issue short time
treasury bonds.
Many New Reforms.
Yuan Shi Kai recommended plans
for tightening the burden of proper
survey of lands for a new scale of
taxation, for a unified system of cur
rency and for standard weights and
measures. He declared that because
of insufficiency of financial experts
among the Chinese the employment
of talented foreigners was necessary
and recommended the employment OF
foreigners by the finance ministry sc
as to insure a correct budget and
proper accounting.
Yuan Shi Kai pointed out that with
the establishment of a republic, In
dustrial development had become OF
the first importance. Ministries OF
forestry and industry would be estab-
lished, he said, to encourage and sub
sidize subsidiaries. The mining laws
too, must be reformed and CONNER
cial laws adopted and enforced.
Religious Freedom Promised.
The troops in China, said Yuan
Shi Kai, are unnecessarily numerous
and the minister of war has been in
structed to reduce the number.
Religious liberty would be guaran-
teed.
In conclusion the president promis-
ed an implicit observance of all trea-
ties and promised that all engage
ments would be speedily met
The presidents message has made
an excellent impression among the
people in general. The people appar.
emily realize the difficulty of trying
to modernize the country too rapidly
