The vocal recital tonight at the Y

Edwin Wolf of Chicago will appear
has excited considerable interest
among lovers of good music in our

(By HakaSheridan.)

NEW YORK, Oct. IL The old re-
liable Christy Mathewson is the last
hope of the Giants who clash today
les with the Philadelphia Athletics
for the championship. The count
stands three for the Athletics and one
for the Giants. The latter team stands
on the edge of csln lete rout ana
it now rests with Matrie .Sson to repei
Connie Mack's men and give his team
mates another chance for a grasp al
the honors which are so rapidly slip
ping. %
Mathewson held the Athletics for
ten innings in the second game of the
series and made the hit which decid-
ed the game in the Giants favor. His
teammates are figuring on repeat to-
day.
Mack can choose either Plank or a
youngster to twirl this afternoons
game. If Plank warns up well he
probably will pitch.
The weather is unfavorable for a
fast game, a slight drizzle of rain ad-
ding to the discomfort Of cloudy,
chilly day.
In anticipation of a great game be-
tween Mathewson and Plank, the
bleachers and grandstands began to
fill rapidly at l o'clock.
The Giants appeared in the field
slngly and the Athletics in a body.
The crowd gave Mathewson an ova-
ton.
The baselines were heavy and the
outfield soaked from the rain.
Connie Mack came over to the Ath-
letics' bench 10 minutes before the
game and the crowd stood up and
cheered him for several minutes. The
batteries were announced as Plank
and Schang and Mathewson and Nc
Lean.

RESERVOIR OVERFLOW
PIPED TO ROUNDUP
COMMISSION CONSIDERS THIS
PLAN TO FILL ARTIFICIAL
LAKES AT PARK.

To pipe the overflow from the new
reservoirs to Roundup Park for the
filling OF the artificial lakes was the
proposition up for discussion before
the city water commission last even
ing and the commissioners views the
proposed plan favorably providing the
Roundup board showed a willing
ness to pay a portion of the cost
When the gravity water system is
completed there will be big over
flow of pure water from the reservoirs
on the south hill ana IT mas been the
purpose of the commission to pipe
this in straight line to the river
However, when the Roundup direc-
tors commenced excavating for arti-
ficial lakes at the park. they concefv-
ed the idea OF utilizing this overflow
for furnishing the lakes with an ever
changing supply of fresh water. The
matter was proposed to the commits
sion last night and 1t was the sense OF
that body that the city would be
willing to pay for the laying of the
pipe toward the park along a dis
tance equal to the distance between
the reservoirs and the river.
A line will be run from the reser-
voirs to the park and an estimate
made of the cost of terra Gotta
pipe. Roughly speaking, it is believ-
ed that, II the Roundup board ac-
cepts the commissioners terms, 1t
will cost about $4,000.

col Gorgas was as much responsi.
BILE for the successful completion of
the Panama canal as any one man."
This is the tribute paid by Charles NJ.
Stype of this city to the man whose
sanitation methods in the canal zone
stamped out the yellow fever and ma
laria scourge which caused the aban-
donment of the project by France
after the expenditure of $500, 900 600.
Mr.. Stype makes the statement from
first hand Information for he spent
a year at the canal over seven years
ago when the fatal maladies were
killing off men by the hundreds. He
declares that but for the scientific
methods used by Col. Gorgas and his
assistants In fighting the diseases, the
gigantic work could never have been
accomplished save at frightful toll
of human life,
The local man, accompanied by his
Wife went down to the isthmus when

met a like fate, he states.
The Panama railroad ran a special
hospital train each day from the
scene of operations to the Ancon hos
pital states Mr.. Stype, so rapidly did
the yellow fever and malaria mos.
quitoes get in their deadly work. The
first treatment on their arrival at the
hospital was a dose of so grains OF
quinine, he says.
Mr.. Stype's specific work consisted
in the checking UP of the amount of
excavation done on the Culebra cut
About 90 per cent of this cut had been
made by the French before they. alb

local man declares that the French

JUDGE LOWELL NOT
TO BE CANDIDATE

That he is not candidate for
municipal office and VII not be cam
didate under any circumstances is de-
clared by Judge S. A. Lowell in the
following statement which he pre-
pared:
Pendleton, Ore. Oct. II, 1918.
To the Citizens of Pendleton:
Petitions are now being circulated
for submission of a new charter for
the City of Pendleton, the same to be
presented to the Common Council at
its meeting on wednesday evening next
under the initiative laws of the state,
with the request that an election be
ordered for Monday, November "a,
1913.
now desire to say that the reports
that l am to be a candidate under the
new charter, if adopted are without
basis in fact. Under no circumstances
would l accept any office under this
charter, or any other l make this
announcement because l am not una
ware that l possess a delightful as
scrtment of political enemes, and the
opponents of the new charter are at
tempting to utilize this fact to their
own advantage. Let the charter stand
or fall upon its own merits. It is a
good, conservative document, as all
will find when it is read.
favor the commission form of gov.
ernment because 1 regard a city as a
great business organization and it
ought to be conducted as such No
individual with an investment of the
magnitude of Pendleton would think
of placing its in administration in the
hands of nine unpaid and voluntary
managers. He would surely select the
best talent available, concentrate the
responsibility in few hands. and pay
for the services rendered. That is
the only sensible way to conduct pub
lie business. Further than the inter-
est that every citizen should have in
good government, l have no interest
in this movement. 1t will carry, in
my judgment. IL its trends vote. If
they are negligent it will be defeated.
Its opponents are active. They know
exactly what they want and why they
want 1t. Respectfully,

LIVERPOOL. Oct. 11.-Aftcr burn

Volturno sank in mid-Atlantic last
Friday morning.
Five hundred and sixty-four pas
sengers were aboard and the vessel
carried crew of 93. OF these. 1876
are missing. They undoubtedly have
perished.
Ten liners surrounded the charred
hulk as the vessel went down and
at desperate risk TO their own ves-
sells, the captains and crews rescued
521 OF the passengers and crew of the
doomed ship.
The Volturno was commanded by
Francis Inch who won his captains
stripes two months ago. The vessel
was owned by the Canadian Corpora
tlon steamship company but was
leased TO tha Uranium Steamship
company OF Holland. On October 2
the vessel sailed from Rotterdam
bound for Halifax and New York.
Fire Breaks Out.
Early Thursday morning fire broke
out aboard the ycSse;. In response
TO wireless calls for help, liners from
many directions fastened 10 the
scene. The Cunarder, Carmania, was
only rs miles away and Captain Barr
ordered full steam toward the burning
ship. The big Cunarder reached the
scene ut noon on Thursday. AT this
time the burning vessel was near the

ing their occupancy of the canal zone
While there was considerable waste
to their work caused by one contract
they performed a big labor during
their operations there" Not only did
the United States profit from the la.
bors of their predecessors, he states,
but they also profited by materials
left there by the discouraged nation
The railway engines were so obsolete
that they were discarded but Mr.. Stype
states that on one occasion while a
surveying crew was running lines for
the diversion of creeks emptying into
the canal, they ran onto pile of iron
rails in which there We're probably
800 or 400 tons.
On another occasion, a surveying
crew discovered in a caynon 1000 tons
of crushed rock which the French
had crushed and left. The mouth of
the canyon had been filled up with
dirt and steam shovels had to be used
before access to the great pile could be
secured.
Americans More Energetic
what distinguished the labors of
the Americans from those of the
French, according to Mr.. Stype. was
the difference in the energy put into
the work. The Americans work was
characterized by Immense amount of
energy" said Mr. Stype this morning
