Testifying to the strength of the
Wilson candidacy in this city and to
the personal popularity of Senator
Chamberlain as well an enthusiastic
audience that literally packed the city
hall was out last night to hear the
presidential campaign discussed by
Oregon's democratic member of the
upper house. Senator Chamberlain
spoke for an hour and a half and
made telling arguments for Wilson.
He declared the race to be a direct
contest between Wilson and Roose-
welt with President Taft a sure loser.
He criticised Roosevelt principally on
the ground that in the past he has
had active support and financial
backing from forces of wealth and
corrupt politics lie is now denounc-
ing He held that Governor Wilson
Is entitled to election on the strength
of his record as governor of New Jer-
sey and on the manner in which he
was nominated at Baltimore.
Senator Chamberlain was introduc-
ed by Will NJ Peterson, democratic
county chairman, who hailed him as
the most distinguished citizen of Or
egon. At the close of the meeting,
Mr.. Peterson announced that George
Fred Williams, celebrated orator
from Massachusetts,, will speak here
on Friday, November /. The meet
ing will be in the oregon theater and
will mark the close of the Wilson
Marshall campaign in Pendleton.
In opening his talk Senator Cham
berlain expressed deep regret over
the attempt on ROosevelt's life and
also said that in criticisms he would
make of both Roosevelt and Taft dur
ing his address he would refer to the
men not as individuals but in connec-
ton with their public policies and
records.
In opposing the Roosevelt candi-
dacy the senator based his argument
chiefly on the ground that the ex-
president is not sincere in his present
role as the foe of corrupt business
and corrupt politics. In support of
his position he quoted time and again
from the sworn testimony given be-

BROUGHT UP AGAIN

The matter of the power site for
the city of Pendleton was again
brought to the attention of the city
last evening when Howard Evans, one
of the owners of the site on the Walla
Walla river upon which the city has
an option. communicated with the
council to ascertain the future inten-
tions of the city. lnasmuch as the
option expires some time during the
present month, II will be necessary
to take some immediate action to-
ward purchasing the site, renewing
the option or abandoning the consid-
Grafton of it,
The matter was referred to the
special committee and 1t was the
opinion of Councilman Dyer, chair
man of that committee, that the mat
ter was of too much Importance to
the city for abandonment and he,
therefore, suggested that an effort be
made to renew the option and that
a conference be had with the owners
to determine the actual cost to the
city of the site.
Upon motion of Councilman Brock
Councilman Dyer was instructed to
confer with the owners at once and to
report back to the council as soon as
possible.

SPIRAL GLIDE is
FATAL TO AVIATOR

Montgomery, Ala, Oct. 24.-Losing
control of his machine when trying
a spiral glide, Louis Mitchell, an av-
iator, fell 200 feet here yesterday aft
ernoon and was killed.
Mitchell had been in the air before
5000 spectators more than an hour,
and shortly before o'clock he began
his descent At height of 500 feet
he lost control and at 200 feet the
biplane seemed to go to pieces. The
aviator was pinned under the motor
and was dead when surgeons reached
him.

partner, was flying directly over
Mitchell. He was carrying a passen-
ger and had planned to follow Mitch
ell in a similar spiral. He said last

PAVING ORDINANCES PASS COUNCIL

Last night was ordinance night
with the council. Ordinances appor-
tioning and assessing the cost of the
improvements to Jackson street and
west Webb street were passed, as
were ordinances ordering the pave
ment of Johnson street from Court to
Water and Main street from the
bridge to its intersection with Jack
son.
With the passage of the first two
ordinances, it is now possible for the
property owners within the boundar-
les of the jackson and West Webb
street districts to ascertain approXi-
mately what the paving work will
cost them.
Another effort is being made to Sc
cure the Improvement of east Webb
street from Cottonwood to College, a
petition signed by George Darveau
and others having been presented to
the council last evening requesting
steps toward that end. Though the
signatures of a good many property
owners were attached to the petition.
it was the opinion of the council that
fifty per cent of the area affected was
not represented. Therefore, to avoid
useless expense, the council decided
to refer the petition back to the Pc
titioners for more signatures.
To Protect Roundup Park.
Because of the danger from high
water to the lower part of Roundup
Park, the barns and stables, the coun-
Gil last night decided that a wing dam
should be constructed at the end of

the levee to divert the high waters
away from the park. Upon the re-
port of Councilman Cole that he could
secure the removal of one of the
present wing dams, which in its pres
ent position is unnecessary. to the
desired point for 500. the street
committee was authorized to have this
done rather than have a new one con-
structed. Councilman Cole also re-
ported that Supt. Lonergan of the
Warren Construction Co. was having
the refuse rock from their crusher
piled up in line with the levee thus
contributing to the protection of the
park.
Commissioner Dickson Resigns.
Following the lead taken by I. G.
Taylor, J. r. Dickson, the other mi
nority member of the ~, commits
sion, last evening rendered his res
ignation and 1t was accepted by the

that the west Court street pavement
had been completed in a satisfactory
manner and, upon motion. the pave
ment was accepted.

1000 REVOLVERS To
BE THROWN INTO BAY

San Francisco. oct. 24.-One thou
sand revolvers, each the instrument
of death in self-destruction or some
other form of violence, will be dump
ed into the bay if the suggestion of
City Treasurer John Z. McDougald
is accepted. The weapons were given
into the care of McDougald by the
county coroner for sale at public auc-
ton under provision of a recently
enacted ordinance.
Every one of these revolvers is
the grim reminder of a tragedy" said
McDougald in his letter toAChief of
Police White. "and in my opinion
should be permanently disposed of by
being thrown into the bay. To sell
them at auction would mean. no
doubt placing them in irresponsible
hands"
Chief White indicated today that
he would follow the suggestion.
