Annapolis, Jvne 6.-The second in

tration that enlisted men in the navy
will have the same opportunity for
advancement as midshipmen, was
made by Secretary of the Navy Dam

the promise kept. You gentlemen
must remember that enlisted men are
just as ambitious as any of you
You owe it to your country to stay
in the navy. The government is not
in business educating naval cadets for
the purpose of supplying men to big
industrial and manufacturing firms -
The secretary urged the midship-
men to keep clear of the social vice.

of barbarism." adding "I appeal to
you to stamp out this barbarous prac-

also urge abstinence from liquor

WANTS MAIL CAR TO
MAKE THROUGH RUN

Because the present method of
handling the eastbound evening mail
from Portland to Pendleton results in
inconvenience to local people, the
Commercial club. through Secretary
Ritner, has taken the matter up with
the division superintendent of the
railway mail service and asked for
Improvement At the present time
the railroad company brings the east
bound mail car as far as Umatilla on
the local. At Umatilla the car is set
out and is later picked up by the
eastbound through train No. IS. which
brings it on to Pendleton. This prac-
tice, according to the local postal en-
ployes results in delay of from half
an hour to an hour each day. The
through train is frequently late.
though marked to arrive but Is min
utes after the local. As a result the
mail does not reach the local office
in time to be worked out before 6
o'clock. This works a hardship on
the employees and also on patrons of
the office who want to get their mail
before the general delivery window
closes or before going hCme after the
close of business. The railway mail
officials are asked to require the mail
car to be brought on to Pedleton by
the local train so as to provide better
service here. 1t is understood the
railroad company prefers to transfer
the car to the through train at Una
tilla because of convenience in switch
ing.

son representatives in congress to Sc
cure an additional sum of $4,000
However the securing of an appro-
priation is not an easy matter and
one delay after another resulted un-
til the city is now no nearer getting
a federal building than it was several |
years ago. In view of the recent COM
munication from Representative Sin
mott stating that there would probably
he no appropriations made at the
present session and that the southern
cities would be urging neglected
claims, 1t was deemed advisable to
take the money already available and
make the best of It.
Providing the architects do not
specify materials that will have to be
shipped from the east at big cost
but instead designate the materials
which can be had at home. It is be-
lieved that a building large enough
to accommodate the post office and
federal court can be erected with the
sum.

ATTENDED BY MANY; EXCELLENT
PROGRAM; ADDRESSES AND MUSIC

Weston, ore, June 5-(SpeciaD-
Weston is celebrating its day of all
days, the occasion being the annual
picnic Of the Umatilla county pioneers
Hundreds of people are here from diff
ferent sections and are joining in the
festivities with right good will
Though a number of familiar faces
are missed from the thinning ranks
of the early day settlers, there are
still many who have responded to the
gathering call, and gray bearded men
and white haired old ladies are living
over again the times when civiliza-
ton was new in this part Of America
and when they won their homes from
the forces of a wilderness.
They are by no means the only ones
here for there are many young peo-
pie, descendants Of the pioneers or
those who have come 10 the country
which the pioneers reclaimed from
the savages The day is ideal for
the celebration and there has not been
a hitch in the program.
The celebration opened this morn
ing with a most enjoyable program.
The only change from the original
was the substitution of T. A Lieual-
len for A. w. Nye of Pendleton, whose
absence from the county made it inn
possible for him to attend. This af-
ternoon Judge stephen A. Lowell,
Pendleton's silver tongued orator, is
delivering an address and at the con-
clusion of the program. the Weston
ball team will cross bats with the

vice conditions today. About 40 wit
nesses, including the heads of the larg-
est banks and department stores. and
economists testified. The witnesses
will be asked regarding wages paid

married men average better wages
than single men. and whether wages
paid married men are sufficient to

mend minimum wage law as the re-
suit of the investigation.

numerous banks. testified that the
wages of men in the banking business
averaged 5000 year.

ploys over 5000 men and boys. He
said no married man gets less than
s12 and no boy less than ss. Simp-
