PENDLETON FANS RALLY TO KEEP
BASEBALL TEAM THIS SEASON;
CLUB OFFICERS ARE ELECTED

Pendleton wants baseball This
much was decided definitely and
unanimously at meeting of the fans
held in the Commercial club rooms
last evening, and steps were taken to-
ward launching a team for the 1918
season. Club officers were elected
and delegates appointed to attend the
league meeting at Poise on Saturday.
The only question now is whether or
not the other clubs will make salts
factory concessions in order to retain
Pendleton in the league.
Wesley N Matlock was chosen the
new president of the local club Roy
w. Ritner was named vice-president; |;
John Dickson, secretary-treasurer
large. Vice President Ritner and Sec
retary Dickson were appointed dele
gates to the league meeting on Sat-
urday and the former will bear the
proxy of L. G. Frazier. who is at the
present time Pendleton's representa-
tive on the league directorate. Mr..
Ritner was also recommended as Pen
dleton's director for 1918.
BY unanimous vote II was declared
TO be the sense of the meeting that
Pendleton desires to retain her fran
chise for another year. But the dele
gates to Boise were instructed to use
their best efforts in securing the re-
moval of President Sweet, who at this
time constitutes the principal obstacle
to the launching of the local team

pends to large extent whether OF
not Pendleton will remain in the
league.

Sends Message to Congress in Trans
mitting the Report Of the Alaska
Railway Commission.
LEASE SYSTEM PROPER
Roads Would Open Up Valuable Coal
Territory Commission Reconl-
nends Two Independent Railways
Ono Would Connect With the
Yukon River Valley.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Recommend-
ing the government construction of
seven hundred and seventy-three
miles of railroads, opening the Beh-
ring and Matanuska coal fields in
Alaska at a cost of thIrty-five million
dollars, President Taft sent a mesa ge
to congress transmitting the report of
the Alaska railway commission. The
president declared he believed prlva g
operation of the governments pro-
posed railroads under a lease is the
proper solution of the difficulties pre-
sented in Alaska. The commission rec
ommends two Independent railways,
me connecting the Yukon river and
the other devoted to the development
of the needs of the Kuskokwim and
the Susitana rivers.
Quoting the commission, the pres
ident says: THE best available route
for the first railway system is that
leading to Cordova via Chitina to
Fairbanks, and the best available
route for the second is that leading
to Seward around Coke's inlet to Id
itarod. The first should be connect
ed with the Behring coal fields and
the second with the Matanuska coal
field.
The necessary inference from the
entire report is in the judgment of
the commission that its recommends
tons can certainly be carried out
only If tie government builds or guar
antees the cost of the railroads rec
commended and If the government is
guaranteed the principal interest of
the construction bonds, 1t seems clear
/, should own the roads, the cost of
which II really pays"

COMES TO PEDDLlNG
BOOZE TO INDIANS

The Dalles, Ore, Feb. SC, F.
Guinther was convicted Monday in
the justice court of selling liquor to
an Indian and was fined 500. Not
being able to pay the fine he was
committed to the county Jail.

under suspicion of peddling liquor to
the Indians, and when he was caught
he was given pretty stiff sentence.
Several years ago Guinther was one
of the largest and most prosperous
farmers in sherman county, owning
$40 acres of choice wheat land on
Gordon Ridge. After making con-
siderable money raising wheat he
came to The Dalles, but soon fell a
victim to drink and squandered all
his property.
His wife and family left him, and
