DR.. WILEY GETS A
COMPLETE CLEARING
Congressional Committee
UphoIds Him In All
Matters

Washington. d. c., Jan. ga mild
report, submitted to congress today
by the house committee on expenses
in the agricultural department, eX-
onerated DR.. Wiley of eXtravagant eX-
penditures and practically admitted
the legality of the Remsen board. The
report declares, however, that such a
powerful board should be created by
legislative enactment and not exeeut-
i've orders.
The report says: "The committee
is of the opinion that the board was
created to aid the secretary of agri-
culture in the discharge of his duties,
but it raises the question of its legality
on the sole ground that the determi-
nation of general questions, to be sub
mitted to the referee of the board by
the secretary, is not injoined upon
him under the law.
The committee declared that the
Remsen board was unauthorized in
making decisions, regarding prosecu-
tions under the pure food law.
Referring to the food and drug in
spection board the report says that if
such a board is necessary it should in
clude DR. Wiley and his assistants in
stead of DR.. Wiley, Solicitor McCabe
and Associate Chemist Dunley.

PROMINENT WASHINGTON DEMOCRAT SAYS
WOODROW WILSON HAS THINGS HIS OWN WAY

Harry H. Collier of Tacoma, owner
of the Progressive Democrat, passed
through the city Saturday en- route
Kallispel, Montana. Mr.. Collier judges
poultry shows all over the North
west from California to Montana.
Speaking of politics in the states he
has visited he said:
II have judged poultry shows in
California Oregon, Washington, Ida
no and Montana. Being a newspaper
man 1 have taken quite little inter-
est in getting the sentiment of the
people as to their choice for president
this summer. Wherever l have gone
have found that the progressive
sentiment outnumbers the standpat
element in both parties. The repub-
licans would like, in all of the states
mentioned to see progressive delegates
sent to the national conventions. CAL
ifornia, under the leadership of Gov
ernor Hiram Johnson will send DEL
egation for Senator LaFollette while
the democratic sentiment is strong
for Governor Woodrow Wilson. The
conventions will instruct for Wilson
wherever conventions are held and
the people will vote for Wilson wher-
ever they have a chance to voice their
sentiment"

800 FINE BIRDS
AT POULTRY SHOW
Delay In Arrival Causes
Brief Postponement of
Opening

With more than coo birds already
in coops with a sufficient number on
their way here to bring that number
up to approximately 500 or twice the
number entered at the show last
year, the third annual exhibition of
the UmatillaM Morrow County Poultry
association is almost ready to receive
the crowds of interested spectators
which WI undoubtedly attend. 1t
was the intention of the men in
charge to throw open the doors this
afternoon but, owing to the delay in
the arrival of Portland poultry, the
show will not really commence until
tomorrow morning.
Not only is there Il greater num-
Der of birds entered this year but
there is a superior class of poultry,
according to Secretary Brown. Prize
winning birds from all over the
northwest have come in to compete
with those owned by local fanciers
and the result is the best array of
pure bred fowls ever exhibited in this
city.
Chickens of every known variety
are in the clean white coops while
turkeys, ducks, geese, pigeons and
guinea fowls are present in sufficient
numbers to make the exhibition
broader than a chicken show. The
armory, in which building the show is
being held, is noisy scene as a re-
suit of the congregation there, Sir
Chantecleer Orpington and all of his
kind splitting their throats in an ef-
fort to attract more attention than
Sir Alectryon Domineck and his rel
atives.
Judging of the entries will COM
mence tomorrow. Miller Purvis, the
judge, being due to arrive from Van
couver where he has been assisting
in scoring the birds of the big show

Engine, Two Coaches Leave
Track Where Large Rock
Had Damaged it.
TRAFFIC TIED UP IL HOURS
Boulder Causing Trouble Sped Eight
Hundred Feet Down Side of Noun
tain Before Striking Right of Way
No One Hurt

All traffic from the west was held
up nearly twelve hours today by the
wreck of No. 10 engine No. SO, Conduc-
tor Dunn, the east bound fast mali
train, near Blalock at 1876 last
night. A huge rock had rolled down
the mountain side and struck the rails
with such force that they were thrown
out of line. When the train reached
the spot, the engine and two coaches
left the track but fortunately no injury
was sustained by any of the trainmen
and the damage to the equipment was
but nominal.
The accident was one of those lucky
ones which sometimes happens on the
railroads. Owing to the fact that the
road near Blalock is new one, the
train was only running at a speed of
80 miles an hour instead of its usual
speed of SO miles. When the engine
struck the bent rail it careened to the
right and crashed against the en-
bankment. Although both engineer
and fireman stayed with their engine,
neither was injured in the least
The first coach behind went off at
the left and the second coach swerved
to the right as the engine had done.
The other three coaches did not leave
the track.
Rock Was Big One.
According TO Tsert Wilson, claim
agent for the O.-W. r. e n. company
who visited the scene of the wreck,
the rock which was responsible for
the accident was about nine feet in
diameter and nearly round 1t rolled
down the mountain side for a distance
of 500 feet and had attained a tre-
mendous velocity when it struck the
track. \ kink was put in one of the
rails and the other was badly bent.
He appraises the total damage to track
and equipment at $500.
The wreck occurred at mile post
1S0 IA, just west of Blalock in Gill
liam county, and two wreckers were
soon dispatched to the scene. The
old track was still in place and the
new track was connected with it
around the wreck. A stub of No. 10
reached this city about l o'clock this
afternoon.

The order of National Indian War

passage at this session is more than
favorable. All men eligible to this
order are requested TO at once COM

SUPREME COURT HITS
PROHIBITIONISTS HARD BLOW

Washington, D. c., Jan. 22.-The
supreme court of the United States
today delivered a hard blow to pro-
hibitionists. 1t handed down a de-
cision to the effect that liquor may
be shipped from one state into "dry"
counties of another state, although
this is prohibited by the laws of a
prohibition state.
The decision was handed down in
the case of the +. w. Cook Brewing
company of Iidiana which sued the
Louisville Nashville railroad for re-
fusing to accept consignments of
beer for interstate shipments to dry
counties. The railroad defense al
legged that it was obeying the law.
The court ruled the road should not
have refused the shipments.

the Indians were overcome. Accord
ing to those who were present at the
gathering the Indian worshippers
never before displayed such emotion
at any meeting. The greater part of
them were moved to tears and at the
conclusion of the singing one of the
Indian elders proceeded to express
his feelings by going about taking up
collection for the benefit of the
singer. The sum of Sc was raised.
Miss Allen became blind during
her very early infancy. She was ed

 Summer excursions were kindly planned and happily carried out As sistance in sewing was given by the Hope circle of The Kings Daughters, and others whose names do not ap- pear hsve given proof of sympathy.
 While the high cost of living is a matter of general observation. it is keenly realized by the matron and managers in their efforts to make the best possible use of the means in trusted to them. In this view, every donation of money or or goods is pe- culiarily acceptable, and it is hoped that the coming Thanksgiving season will add to the list of such favors.
