IDENTITY they became alarmed, for
they made a hurried exit. Like rats
deserting sinking ship. they left the
house where they had been living and
within thirty minutes there was not
one of them left. Lights were put out
and the doors We're locked and. If Kay
and his men arrived at a later hour
to arrest them, they were disappoint-
cd.
The trains leaving Pendleton yes
terday carried away the majority of
the women who had been occupants
of the tenderloin. In all there were
about thirty leaving some going into
Washington on the Spokane train
and others leaving on No. Is last
evening for Idaho. Some few are vet
in the city but It is anticipated that
they will take their departure within
a few days.
This is the first time Pendleton has
been without a restricted district
since it was established in 1902 Prior
to that there had been many bawdy
houses but they were located in va
rious parts of the city. It was dur
ing the administration of the late
Thomas G. HALEY that they We're To-
Called and they have been permitted
to exist on Cottonwood street ever
since.

MORNING RAIN SETS
RECORD FOR JUNE

The quarter of an inch of rain
which fell in Pendleton during the
early hours of the morning establish
ed new record for a June precipita-
tion in this county, according to T.. F.
Averill, official weather observer. 1t
brought the fall up to 2.26 inches or
.04 of an inch more than in June,
1891 which had the record up until
this year. Prior to 1890 observations
were not taken here in Umatilla coun-
ty. a
The heavy rains of the month have
not only beaten down some of the
growing grain and set the season
back but have damaged a good deal
of the hay crop, according to re-
ports. The first cutting of alfalfa on
some farms has been almost totally
spoiled, it is said, and most all of the
hay damaged to some extent. How
ever. much of it, while not market
able. will still be of use to the farm
ers themselves and hence is not a to-
tai loss.

FEARING ARREST TENDERLO|N
INMATES LEAVE TOWN BY NIGHT
KAY HAD NOT GONE FAR AWAY

Pendleton is today without re-
stricted prostitution district for the
first time in many years. Fearing the
activity of Governor West and his
moral squad. the owners of the Cot
tonwood street houses of illfame gave
notice last week to the inmates to va

the governors officers. the inmates
fastened their departure by packing
up their belongings Saturday evening
and decamping

investigation OF moral conditions
here. On last Wednesday evening he
supposedly left the city, but. accord

remained secretly here to surprise the
denizens of the tenderloin Saturday
evening. One report has it that he
boarded the motor car Wednesday
evening but dropped off at the state
hospital to remain until the time for
action arrived
1t is known almost without a doubt
that a raid was contemplated late
Saturday evening or early Sunday

H0lDMAN FARMER
HAD LIGHT LOSS

That he lost but six or seven acres
Of wheat through the work of jack
rabbits and not 25 acres as was err
roneously reported. is declared by j.
7. Thorne of Holdman, who is in
town today. Mr.. Thorne says that he
has always had some loss from rabbit
depredations and that the loss this
year is no greater than it has been for
several years past. He believes that
the fencing up of considerable land
under the Umatilla project has had
a endency to drive the rabbits of that
section farther east and upon the far
mers west of Holdman. However.
the rabbits are not running that Sec
tion at all and Mr. Thorne strongly
resents the yellow stories that were
recently published upon this subject.
According to Mr.. Thorne it is a fact
that Jim Hill mustard and Russian
thistle are doing more damage than
the ra abbits. He believes it entirely
practical to fence against the rab-
bits.

Sentiment among a majority OF bus
mess and professional men interview
ed today is unanimously in favor of
a commission government for the city
of Pendleton. Each expressed the
opinion that such a form is the only
method of managing the affairs Of a
municipality. 1t was agreed that il
an amendment is submitted to the city
charter. say in October, it would car
ry by 2 large plurality.
One of the men, Judge ]. A. Fee,
did not care to be quoted and gave
no intimation which way his senti-
ments were inclined Another, Harry
Gray, a prominent business man, was
satisfied with the present system but
was not adverse to the commission
form being willing to admit that
there are many excellent features in
that method of government. These
were the only two men interviewed to-
day who did not Necome enthusiastic
over the plan to submit the commits
sion question to a vote of the people.
Somewhat cautiously. Mayor Mat
lock expressed the opinion that while
to his mind the commission form Is
the only method, he had some doubt
if the right men could be found to
handle the business of the city. He
said that for Pendleton. a commission
of three would be sufficient. Then
there would be the question of the
particular form of commission,
whether a form like Baker has in
vogue. or one fashioned after the
Portland system. He said that he
thought this question should be defi
nitely settled before the matter was
brought to the attention of the voters.

PLUCKY AVIATOR MAY
BE DEAD IN GUAYMAS

Douglas, Ariz., June 30.-Fears that
Didler Mason. the French aviator and
soldier OF fortune has been killed or
seriously wounded are entertained at
the rebel camp at Guaymas under fire
while on a tour over the city, Masson's
plane was seen to lurch and descend
within the federal lines. Nothing
more has been heard from him.
The fire of the federal garrison
ceased at midnight. Fearing mines
rebels did not advance. Part of the
federal garrison has already en-
barked on warship in Transport
harbor 1t is thought that realizing
the hope of holding the city was gone,
they mined streets and surrounding
arsenal and prepared quietly to re-
treat before the approach of rebels,
firing the mines as they LEFT. II
seems certain Guaymas will be in the
hands of the constitutionalists in a
few hours.

less interest in politics than in the

Gettysburg, Pa, June 50.-Gettys-
burg stepped. so years backward into
the halo Of history and looked again
upon an army of blue and of gray.
meeting at her doorstep. From early
morning until long after sundown the
veterans in blue and gray trooped in
to the little town which has slept
peacefully among It's hills since Lee
and Meade turned their legions south
ward long ago
More than 80 special trains came
into the village during the day and
thousands of veterans who tramped
up from the Shenandoah on their
former visit rode in comfort from
Harrisburg, Baltimore and Washing
ton Instead of the roar of guns
that greeted them in the other days,
they entered in the quiet Sunday calm
of a country town. Only the flags
flying from every window. the city of
tents in the distance and the crowds
told that Gettysburg had come out of
the usual into the extraordinary once
more.
From the station of the two rail-
roads that enter the village is a long
mile to the camp of 5000 tents where
t1Tei7veterans are housed Thousands
shouldered suitcases and walked un-
der scorching, cloudless sky A
number succumbed before they found
their tents. There was no complain
ing however.
Every possible arrangement for the
comfort of the united armies has
been made. The camp of brown ar
my tents is under the direction of
regular army officers. The streets of
Gettysburg are under the care of the
Pennsylvania constabulary and for
the care of the sick the Red Cross
has made extensive preparations.
The camp itself lies on ground that
has been baked as hard as brick and
dried into dust by winds that sweep
the hills, but its sanitation. its water
supply and its plan for the feeding
of thousands of men have been made
with the utmost care.
The formal exercises will be held
in the big tent near Emmittsburg
road, but they will last only two hours
each day and the rest of the time the
veterans will spend as they please.
Thousands of sightseers are quar-
tered in the village. Thousands more
made the trip in every conceivable
style of conveyance.
Every room available was taken
days ago and veterans without Gre
dentials and civilians who had not
s.rI,
ments are sleeping in any bed that
they could find in the hustle of the
day
