There is talk of another fight for
congressional honors in the Tenth dis
t,ict this year. although it had APP
peared, until of late, as if Representa-
tive Thomas W Hardwick, the present
| congressman, was 10 have things pretty
much his own way there.
The fight in the Tenth last time was
one of the most spectacular the state
ever saw CONGRESSMAN Hardwick
Waged the hardest and the bitterest
warfare for continued preference he
ever had been called upon to wage in
all his more or less stormy and pie
turesque career He won out splendid
~. but there ere wounds left as conse-
quences of that fight which never have
healed-perhaps that never will heal
So far, MI, Hardwick is the only an
nounced candidate, and the state pri-
maries are barely three months away
That there is we'll defined effort to
get o r. Eve to stand against Mr.
Hardwick again this year is a fact
however. notwithstanding the foregoing
stated circumstances. Mr.. Eve opposed
Mr. Hardwick last time, and he and
another candidate divided the anti
Hardwick vote, so called, to Mr.. HARD
wicks great advantage.
Mr.. Eve gave out for publication a
day or so ago a statement in which he
clearly set forth that he might indeed
probably wOuld-be a candidate again
this year. and he believes that his
chance of success is far brighter now
Mr. Hardwick is a resourceful fight
err, and a mighty hard man TO down. any
way one may look at it. If Mr.. Eve
goes after MIR Hardwick's scalp he will
be kept pretty busy getting it-that
goes without saying AS a matter Of
fact, another fight between Hardwick
and Eve would be spectacular enough
for all ordinary purposes, and perhaps
little more than that

porary, the recent Republican in

ASTERN ELKS MAY Be INVITED TO STOP
FOR VISIT WITH LOCAL LODGE MEMBERS

His plan would be similar to that
already adopted by the cities of Ia
coma, and Baker, namely to send in
vitation to all Elk lodges asking that
their special trains be stopped for u
brief time in this city and upon ac-
ceptance of such Invitation by any
train load, provide simple entertain
ment that would interest the stran-
bers and prove of benefit to the COM
munity. Autos could be secured in
sufficient numbers, he points out, to
take the guests short distance out
into the rich agricultural communi-
ties and show them how grain is
grown in the best wheat county in

taken to Roundup Park. served with
the early fruits for which this county
Is famous, entertained with a few
band selections and short talks and
then returned to their train with the
name of Pendleton fixed in their
memories as a place surrounded by
resources and where opportunities
abound.
Secretary Keefe expressed himself
as heartily in favor of the suggestion
this morning and announced that he
would take the matter up with the
association.

A suggestion of advertising value to
the city made by Judge Fitz Gerald
secretary of the local lodge of Elks,
this morning and endorsed by Sec
retary Keefe Of the Commercial as
sociation will probably be formally
brought to the attention of the lat
ter organization some time in the inn
mediate future. The judge pointed
out that sometime during the latter
part of June and the early part of
July, a number of special excursion
trains bearing citizens of the east
to the annual Elks' convention in
Portland will pass through Pendle-
ton and he declared that invitations
to stop for a short time in the city
would undoubtedly be accepted and
that such visits would be of more
value to the city than any quantity of
pamphlets circulated over the coun-
try. u
Judge Fitz Gerald stated that the
local Elks would themselves extend
such invitations and attend to the en-
tertainment of the guests We're they
not already overburdened by their
building and the responsibility of
raising $4,000 for putting Pendleton
on the map in the big Elks' parade
during the convention.

rs BOYS LEAVE
FOR WALLA WALLA
To Take Part In Forward
Movement of ReIig-
ious Men
and Given Auto Tour Over City by
Business Men.

Fully seventy-five strong, the dele
cation of Pendleton boys to the Men
and Religion Forward Movement con-
vention in Walla Walla left Pendle-
ton this afternoon full of enthusiasm
and eagerly anticipating the program
which has been laid out for them in
the Garden City.
Upon arriving at their destination
they will be met by business men IN
automobiles and will be given a spin
over the city. Tonight they will be
banqueted and Chester Gordon, pres
ident of the high. school student body
has been chosen to respond to a toast
for them. Tomorrow they will be
taken out to the penitentiary on a
tour of inspection and the remainder
of their time win be fully taken up
so that their stay will be pleasant as
well as profitable.
According to reports from Walla
Walla the convention is meeting with
all of the success anticipated. And
the concluding two days which will
be devoted to the boys is expected to
be attended with even more success.
James Whitworth, expert on boys
work, is an interesting speaker. ac-
cording to the Walla Walla Union,
and his suggestions as to how to keep
a boy clean and interested in the
best things of life, are worth the time
and trouble of any parents. One of
his statements which appeals to the
practical mind of the business man,
is the bringing of the Sunday school
from a dreaded hour of scripture and
senseless prayer every Sunday morn
ing to occupy an active part in the
boys life, by taking part and leading
in the things which naturally inter
est the growing youngster, keeping
him on the right track without the
boy being aware of any conscious eff
fort on the part Of the Sunday school
teachers to keep him in the straight
and narrow path. In other words, to
place an atmosphere of cleanly and
manly Christianity about the young
ster from the cradle up, with n mini
mum of preaching.

point margin here last week, the
Pendleton high school basketball
players last night won the first of
their games in Union county, defeat

the NJ. I. A. boys are admitted to be
the best team east of the Cascades

According to Manager Clayton

my company spread after the last

company left Dayton for Colfax on

of Dayton was over at Colfax and
proceeded to have some fun with me.
They called up the sheriff and told
him to hold the whole company as
We had come away with some silver

Portland and Spokane papers were
at the depot at the time and5stook it
