BYRAN GIVES PRAISE
TO TARIFF MEASURE
Calls 1t Best Since the Civil
War-Lauds President and
Congress Democrats.

While kilograms of congratulaticn
over the passase of the tariff bill. and
tne Presidents part in its enactment
were pouring into the White House this
morning from Democratic leaders and
admirers in all parts Of the country,
Secretary Of State Bryan issued state
ment in which he declared that the I'M
derwood law, signed by the President
last night, was the best ever passed
in this country since the civil war.
Not only was the Commoner's in
dorsement of the tariff measure and his
praise of the Democrats in Congress
and the President unstinted, but he cx-
pressed the eager hope that Congress
would soon follow up its triumph with
the passage of the Administration cur
rency bill. He said:
:, The tariff law that went into force
last night is the best tariff measure
since the war. and all who have taken
part in its preparation and passage, are
entitled to great credit. It is better
! bill than We were able 10 pass twenty
years ago, and l rejoice that political
conditions are such as to make the pres
ent law possible.
Points To Wilson Law.
'.The Wilson bill compelled Congress
to bear burden which will not fall OF.
| the present law. and which ought not
to have fallen on thar law. The
Wilson law provided for an income tax.
which had been declared unconstitu-
. uonai by a divided vote Of the court,
the one majority having been secured
by a change of opinion on the part of
, one judge between two hearings of the
case. Tie nullification of the income
tax portion of the Wilson law reduced
the Governments income until it was
rnf Oh h1ea 10 thr .f hs
Cover Dment, nd this compelled an in
crease in the Governments Indebtedness
/. that threw upon the bill an undeserved
odium. which, together with the fact
that the Senate deprived the bill Of
some of its best features, robbed the
party of the benefits which ordinarily
would have come from a reduction In
the, import duties.
Then, too, the bill went into opera
lion at a time when financial conditions
law effects for which it should not al
sH have been responsible. L mention
this law Of nineteen years ago because
1t is the only thing since the war witt.
which to compare the present law.
Predicts Currency Law Soon.
Economic as well as political condi-
tions make it possible for us to do now
what Il was impossible for us to do
then. We have. too, at this time, a
united party. which is a great asset.
The President and the Democrats of
he House and Senate have been in
full sympathy. and have worked united
~ In the accomplishment of this i'm
portant work. They share honors to-
sether, and the honors are sufficient to
give distinction to all who participated
october marks an epoch in the
economic history OF the generation, and
! am confident that it will not be long
pefore the country will be able to cele-
n1ate second triumph for the Presi-
dent. Congress. the party and the coun-
try, when the new currency bill passes

REAL ESTATE NEWS OF PENDLETON

creased efficiency of the fire-fighting
organization. As congress makes
available the means for extending the
system of communications on the Ma
tional forests the equipment of trails,
roads, telephones. and lookout sta
tions is yearly enlarged and the fires,
it is said, are discovered more quick
ly and fought more rapidly.
An especially good showing was
made by the forest officers last year
in eXtinguishing fires outside the ma
tional forests before they reached the
forest boundaries. Such fires consti-
tuted more than one-sixth of all
fought by the forest rangers and
guards. About nine-tenths were ex-
unguished before they touched the
forests. OF the fires within the for
est boundaries more than IS per cent
were on lands in private ownership.
Nearly one-fourth of the extra ex-
penditures due to fighting fires-that
is, expenditures outside the time of
the regular forest force-was incurred
in fighting these fires.
Lightning caused more fires than
any other agency, followed by rail-
roads campers, and incendiaries, in
the order given. The greatest losses
occurred in Arizona, Arkansas and
California, in which states there was

= That Pilot Rock is well on the road
~ prosperity because the big land
holders are at last selling their hold
ings in comparatively small parcels is
the statement made by John P. Nc
Maius, well known real estate dealer
End newspaperman of the south end
town who was in the city Saturday.
He declares that in the past there has
always been great deal of good land
for sale cheap in that community but
that the owners only wished to dis
pose of it in large tracts. Now, how
ever. they are content to break UP the
big farms and thus afford the home
seeker a chance to acquire land.
In evidence of his statements, Mr..
McManus points out two real estate
transactions which have been con-
summated in that section of the coun-
ty within the past few weeks The
Douglas belts farm of 500 acres, ly-
ing at the western limits of the town
and improved with a dwelling and or
Chard, was sold to Arthur Wetzel. a
MiSsourian. for $4,000. The Madi-
son Jones place on Stuart creek, ad-
Joining the II. P. Gilliland ranch, sold
to. ]. w. Miller. another Missourian,
Tor S21.S0 an acre. Mr.. Miller has
also purchased residence property in
Pilot Rock for Mrs. S. L. Morse for
$500 and will make his home there
part of the year. He came from the
same town in Missouri from which
DF. J l. Gilliland came.
Other big land holders in that sec
tion of the county have listed large
tracts for sale and have expressed a
willingness to sell in whole or in part.
This, thinks Mr.. McManus is the hour
for which Pilot Rock has been wait
ing these many years.

also the largest proportion of fires
caused by lightning and by incendiar-
ism. About 27 per cent of all the
fires was caused by lightning and in
cendiarism. About q per cent of all
the fires were started by lightning,
and about 3S per cent were due to
carelessness. The proportion in each
case was practically the same as in
the previous year.
The total number of fires was 2473,
as compared with 1859 in 1911. They
burned over, in the aggregate, 230, 900
acres as against 100000 in 1911. Cali
fornia led all states in total number
of fires, and in the number caused by
lightning. Arizona stood second in
both of these classifications. Arkan-
sas stood fourth in total number of
fires, and first in those of incendiary
origin, with California second. The
one national forest had only one fire,
which burned over less than ten acres
and cost $1.11 to extinguish. North
Dakota had no fires on its one small
forest.
OF the 2472 fires, over rs per cent
were put out before 10 acres were
burned over and nearly so per cent
before one-quarter' of an acre was COW
cred. Only IL fires caused damage
of more than $1,000 each.

HUNTINGTON WILL

In addition he will have a modern op-
Grating room, where the most diff

which will make it one of the most
notable clubs ever incorporated. The
membership will probably be limited
to 1000 although this point is not
definitely settled. The total floor
space will amount to almost an acre
and it is estimated that the cost of
the furnishings and equipment alone
will exceed 100000. In addition to
the usual comforts and luxuries as or
dinarily found the new club will have
a city block and a half above the
street level gymnasium, squash
courts, handball courts, private din
ing rooms writing and lounging rooms
as we'll as a wonderful grill room. The
latter will be especially decorated
with scenes descriptive of the early
history of New York. The view from
the windows of this highest club will
be remarkable, overlooking the whole
island, the rivers and surrounding
territory for many miles. Altogether
the biggest lunch club in the worlds
tallest building promises to be a nov
city even for New York.
AS the result of a novel card in
dex system which Is now being put in
to use here, the startling statement
is made that there are in this city no
less than 100000 individuals and fam
lilies dependent on charity. Already
100000 names have been tabulated
and before the process is complete 1t
Is estimated that this number will be
doubled. thus giving this city de-
pendent population greater than the
total population of any except the
twelve largest cities in the country.
The tabulation' of the dependent poor
Is being carried on by new bureau.
It's central feature Is the catalogue of
names and addresses of all families
under care of those agencies which
make use of it. There is a card
bearing the name and address OF each
family on which is written also the
names of all the organizations which
are or have been in touch with the
family and which have available
knowledge concerning 1t. No other
information Is recorded, 1t is said,
save that which its necessary to as
sure Identification. as for instance,
the names and ages of children and
the ages and occupations of other
members of the family 1t is stated
that the exchange is run on confi-
dental plan and will be conducted
with scrupulous regard for the per-
sonal interests and feelings not only
of those families whose names are
registered but of the individuals and
agencies working for their welfare.
Inquiry of the exchange to ascertain
where information may be obtained
concerning a family will not be fol-
lowed by registration of the name Of
that family will not be followed by

The department of agriculture has
