7. R. TEXAS MEN
Taft Gets Delegates at Large
and All Districts,
But One

Chicago, June 15.-Despite the fact
that Committeeman Lyon insisted
that the Taft delegates at large were
not contestants, having failed to file
their contest twenty days before the
committee met, the committee voted
to seat the eight Taft delegates at
large from Texas. The Taft briefs
were filed only yesterday.
Despite the arguments advanced
by Roosevelt's attorneys and contest
managers, the committee seated the
Taft delegates in the contests of the
first, second, fourth, fifth, seventh,
and eighth Texas districts.
The first victory for Roosevelt men
in the Texas contest, was scored
when the committee seated the Roose-
welt delegates from the third dist
rict. Taft men offered little evidence.
Don't do that, for Gods sake! Re-
member next November" This was
the plea of Committeeman Capers, OF
South Carolina to the national COM
mittee, when after refusing the roll
call it seated the Taft delegates from
the fourth Texas district, in the con.
test where both Roosevelt and Taft
ties claimed the right to be recognized

ROOSEVELT TO BAIT
SOUTHERN DELEGATES
Police Are Kept Busy Pre-
venting Fights Be-
tween Factions

Chicago, June 15.-Delegates arriv-
ing today marched to their various
headquarters, accompanied by brass
bands. Lobbies Of all the leading ho-
tells are thronged and Peacock alley,
in the Congress hotel, is being crowd
ed with elaborately gowned women.
1t is expected that Colonel Roose-
velt will attempt to impress on the
southern office-holding delegates the
fact that he originally appointed them
to office. 1t is expected he will urge
that Taft cannot win, hoping thus to
start a stampede his way when the
convention meets.
Bad blood shows between the fac
tions in the hotel lobbies, the police
stopping several impromptu fights
among the Ohio Taft men.
In an effort to counteract the ef-
feet of Colonel Roosevelt s coming.
Taft supporters announced a public
dedication of their general headquar-
ters at the Congress hotel, taking the
form of a big public rally there to-
night. Among the notables at the
rally will be delegates from Maine and
Montana.

ST. 100000 EXPENSE Of OPENING COLUMBIA
WOULD return IN LOWER FREIGHT RATES

to the people of this section
In his talk last evening Prof. Ly-
man told of the cost of a transporta-
tion road, by macadam highway, by
rail and by boat, The cost of service
by boat is so much lower than the
cost of rail transportation that it is
impossible for railroads to effectively
compete with water routes when con-
ditions are normal While at the pres
ent time the railroads are meeting
water and boat rates to Pendleton,
Professr Lyman says they will be
unable to do this after the completion
of the Cello canal.
The trouble in the past regarding
the Improvement of rivers, said the
lecturer, is that the government has
carried on improvements as a project
rather than as policy. But the old
pork barrel plan of operations has
been done away with and appropria-
tions are now made in a more con-
sstent way.

AUTO RUN DOWN BY
INDIANS ON HORSES
Drunken Reds Ride Over Machine
of Former Chief of
Police

Tom Gurdane, ex-chief of police and
at present proprietor of taxi-cab
service, is today without the use OF
one of his machines as the result of
being run down by drunken Indians
last night The automobile was bad
ly damaged and Gurdane himself es-
capped serious injury only by rare good
fortune.
The accident happened about IL
o'clock last evening on West Alta
street while Gurdane was driving to
the Roundup Park. In the seat with
him was Percy Folsom, his partner
and, when several blocks down the
street, both noticed four mounted In
dams racing madly towards them.
Realizing that the horses might be-
come blinded by the electric head
lights of the car, the driver turned to
run upon the sidewalk but the fear
Of injuring pedestrians caused him
to turn back into the road and stop
his car. Honking his horn and
shouting a warning, he attempted to
turn the Indians aside but, with hors-
es running at top speed, they bore
down upon him.
One of the horses struck the car
head on, tearing off the radiator,
smashing the carburetor, breaking off
the coils, and smashing the glass front
and the lamps. The force of the i'm
pact threw the horse part way into the
car while the rider was thrown to the
ground where he lay motionless.
When the glass front was smashed,
Gurdane was showered with splinter
ed glass and the frame of the front
fell over his neck yet, aside from a
cut hand and badly bruised shoul-
der, he was not injured. Folsom, Sec
ing that collision was inevitable,
jumped into the back seat and was
not hurt.

ance between the two formed, an ac-
quaintance which gradually develop
ed through the stages of friendship
and intimacy into a strong attach
ment. Several weeks ago the young
couple decided to be wed at the con-
clusion of the school year and ap-
prised their relatives of their inten-
ton. A mild remonstrance was at
first made to their plans because of
their youth, but all objections melted
before the ardor of the two and 1t
was with the full consent of the par
ents that the marriage occurred this
morning, the day following the COM
pletion of their school year.

1O1 RANCH WILD WEST SHOW IS TAME TO
ANYONE Who HAS ATTENDED THE ROUNDUP

pretty tame" is the way in which
the majority of those who attended
the performances yesterday of the
101 Ranch characterize the wild west
show. Admitting that the frontier
features presented by Miller Bros. are
as good as can be furnished by road
show, local people are strongly of the
opinion that such a show should never
have been offered to Umatilla county
people, educated as It is in the real

The show train did not arrive in the
city until after o'clock and it was
after before the parade wound
through the city. The Roundup
grounds had been secured by the
management, but even with that ad-
vantage, it was after before the af-
ternoon performance began. The eve

to find friends and Eep at Nipigon

food that was sent to this devoted
