Strain have been supporters of the
majority members Of the water com.
mission in their fight for a gravity
water system. Mr.. McCormmach. as
member Of the council. last year
made an investigation Of the work
which has been done and satisfied
himself that the commission had done
its work honestly and efficiently.
The qualifications OF Messrs Moore
and Jack were contested by Judge
Lowell on the grounds that Moore's
property assessment was not high
enough and that Jack had not been
a resident Of the city sufficiently long
Judge Phelps upheld these grounds
and appeal was taken on the ground
that the qualifications for commits
sioners prescribed by the city charter
were contrary 10 the constitution OF
the state
Whether or not Messrs Moore and
Jack will continue their fight IN the
supreme court now that they have re-
signed Is not known, but II Is consid-
cred doubtful.

new TOWN SCHEDULED FOR
UMATillA COUNTY SOON
COYOTE CUTOFF RESPONSIBLE
FOR PLAN-NAME Is NOT
YET DECIDED UPON.

AS a consequence of the building of
the Coyote cutoff there is to be
new station and new town in the west
end Of the county. If current reports
are reliable the embryo metropolis
will be located on a flat south of the
Umatilla river and three miles west
Of the mouth of Butter creek. BY
what name the place will be, known
is not yet decided 1t will be chiefly
a shipping point and from appear
ances may become an important little
center.
Thus far no official announcement
regarding the plans for the new sta
tion has been made. 1t is know how
ever. that the railroad company has
been consulting with important west
end shippers in reference to the mat
ter. There has been a demand for
the new station on the part of Butter
creek shippers and settlers on irrigat-
ed lands in that section. 1t is said the
establishment of a shipping point at
! the point above mentioned will save
| a drive of several miles on the part
| of the stockmen. This is of especial
| Importance to shippers of beef and
mutton as a lengthy drive causes
| shrinkage.
! At the present time the work or
the cutoff is proceeding rapidly, crews
working at each end of the line. i
is estimated there are 800 men or more
in the construction camps. Twohy
Bros are doing the heavy work
themselves and sub-letting the remain
der of the work. Thomas Jacques o.
Pilot Rock has a sub contract and Il
is said his work will include the con
struction of side tracks at the pro
posed new station west of Butter
creek.

Stories of Conditions in Mining Dis

DENVER. May declaring that
half has not been told of the "atro-
cities committed by imported Hessians
in the Colorado strike district" Mrs.
Alma Lafforty, ex-state representa-
tive and Mrs. Evangeline Heartz, a
committee appointed by the Denver
women's peace organization to investi-
gate the Ludlow horrors, filed a SEN
sational report with Governor Am
mons.
In connection with the report a full
investigation is demanded of the gov
ernor of the militia and mine guards
doings in the strike zone. The ex-
ecutive is called on to withdraw the
request that the legislature create a
state constabulary and instead take
over the mines for state operations.
Whatever the feeling we may have
had that accounts of the mine war
were exaggerated" said the report,
was soon dispelled. There is no ques-
ton in our minds that the militia's
attack on the Ludlow tent colony was
planned and carefully executed In
COiu UiOOu he SlrlkeTS were totally
unprepared. Many women and chill
dren were still in bed. We found that
Major Hamrock tested the machine
guns range by firing into the first line
of tents and later in the engagement
the soldiers soaked paper in oil and
used these as torches to spread the
conflagration."
Wholesale looting followed the
massacre and one of the pictures
painted by homeless woman of the
colony was of the soldiers carrying
trunks to the station, dancing with
the stolen blankets about their heads
to the music of a stolen accordion and
grabbing there and there, intent for
valuable. Fifty of the hundred wo-
men of the colony were about to be-
come mothers and one woman actu-
ally gave birth to a baby while try
| ing to escape from a hail of bullets
| from Hammrock's guns
The report also asserted that Tikas
and FLYER, strike leaders who lost their
! lives in battle, ''were murdered while
in the soldiers custody"

Events That Have Led to
the Conflict in Europe

The causes Of the war which has
set all Europe abIaze are as fol-
lows:
The century-old hatred Of the
Serbs and the AustrIans, each
for the other, growing out Of the
struggle Of the Serbs for unity
and freedom, In which Austria,
through her possession Of Serv-
Ian provinces, effeetuaIly bars the
way.
The impassIoned rage Of the
servlans that they who have
thrown off the yoke Of the Turk
In territory once held by the sui
tan, have been unable to win one
foot Of ground or a single subject
from the dual monarchy.
The deep resentment Of Austria
at the murder Of Archduke Franz
Ferdinand, heir to the throne, on
June 20, through a servian plot,
which brought an the long smol-
derins bitterness Of the two peo-
Piles to a climax.
The ultlmatum delivered to Ser
via by Austria demanding punish

servia's reply, termed by the
Austrian Foreign Office "unsatis-
factory"
Precipitation Of France, Ger
many and Italy into the crisis by
Russia's determination to block
any change in the balance Of pow

The known purpose Of Russia to
use all her armies to thisSnd makes
that great empire In effect an ally
Of Servia, and in turn draws France
to support the Russian standard
through an offensive and defensive
alliance.
Russia's espousaI Of the serVlan
cause automatically brings into
play the triple alliance, in which
Germany and Italy are bound to
rally to the support of their ally
Austria.
