crammed by boys, with shrap-

occasion for turning it loose"

rode the fourbig mules hitched
to the artillery and seemed to
wait orders to drive on to
Mexico. Next was the band
on splendidly decorated float
and the martial music it dis
pensed all along the route was
grand. Then came the Keytes-
vile Lumber Co. float with a
real silo mounted thereon. then
Herring Pharmacy feat gaily
caparisoned, then Mrs. Crisman's
float representing farming, and
it was a beauty; then Milt
Bennet's splendid advertisement
of his shoe store, followed by a
white barge, all its occupants
trimmed out in pure white,
representing the W. G. 7. U.
and it would have been a credit
in any parade; nextJ M. HALEY
showed his artistic taste in a
representation Of what he dis
played in his establishment and
he was followed by the L. B.

a display should be, and the
skill of his chief clerk, Chas.

applauded. VIM. Adams Of the
Adams & Tisdale livery firm
duded it around in a prettily
decorated buggy, the kind he

Dameron & Son garage was in
the procession with a good ad
for his firm in the way Of a dis
abled automobile drawn by u

repair shop. The Star Bakery
float was the real thing, U. r.
Westlake having put his machine
on wheels and manufactured
toothsome cakes which h ell
scattered to the crowd which
lired the line of parade. 1t was
a sight to those who had never
seen the method of making
cookies by the cart load, and the
enterprising young hustler de-
serves much applause for his
successful effort, as well as all
others who made the parade
p.
such a success under the cir
cumstances Of the muddy streets
and bad weather in the morning.
There would have been 20 more
floats but for the lack of time to
prepare them after the rain the
afternoon and night before.

SHIPS ARE FOR GREAT
BRITAIN'S NAVY

WASHINGTON. Nov 2S-Report:
that eight submarines for which the
Union Iron Works of san Francisco
received orders as well as - others
to be turned out at Seattle and at
Fort River. Mass, are for the British
navy caused considerable comment in
official circles today
The first question raised was wheth-
er or not the United states would be
permitting violation of its neu-
trality if it allowed the construction
Of the war vessels for European bell
ligerent powers.
In answer to this query there came
from an authoritiave source the in
formation that to allow the vessels to
be constructed in American yards was
not violation of neutrality, though
the administration was not in favor
of it. The submarines would be con-
traband, however. it was stated, and
would be subject to seizure as soon
as they left American waters.

All traffic on the main line OF the
o.-W. r. & N. was blocked for ten
hours today as the result OF the
wrecking Of westbound freight No.
255 near Duncan this morning about
5 o'clock. Eight cars in the midsec-
tion OF the train went into the ditch
when they struck a broken rail and
were badly smashed. No one was
hurt.
The full details OF the wreck have
not been received at the local depot.
The first car to leave the track was
about eleven cars back from the en-
gine and the last one was about the
same distance from the caboose. The
eight cars were considerably damag-
ed. Wreckers we're hurried from
Umatilla ami La Grande and have
been making fast headway in clear
ing the track for traffic.
Eastbound passenger No. was
held up in Pendleton until 1905 when
II pulled as far as Gibbon to await
the signal that the track was clear.

FARMERS MAY BUILD
HARD SURFACE ROAD
TO COLUMBIA RIVER

The first actual organized effort on
the part OF the Cold Springs farmers
TO secure a railroad or a hard surface
highway to the Columbia river is on
at the Commercial club rooms where
30 or more representative wheat men
are in session with r. o. Earnhart as
presiding officer.
Up till 2:SO the business has been
confined entirely to a discussion with
i. ]. Walsh, engineer for the port Of
Astoria as the chief speaker Mr..
Walsh told OF the preparations being
made at Astoria for handling the
wheat when the open river is accom-
plshed and made a plea for river
transportation by showing the saving
TO be worked thereby.
Taking the barges now in use on
the Mississippi as a standard he quot
cd figures to show that with such
barges in use the water rate from
the interior to Astoria could be but
one-tenth the present rail rate from
Umatilla TO Portland, He did not
prophesy such a cut in rates when
water transportation is established but
predicted heavy reduction in the
rate.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Walsh's
talk, Mr.. Grlswold, an assistant state
engineer, was called upon.
During the day there developed a
sentiment in favor of hard surface
highway to Cold Springs instead OF
h railroad as formerly discussed. No
definite show OF strength was given
but men who have been discussing
the subject with farmers assert the
sentiment appears favorable to a
hard surface road instead of rail-
road. Or. d. ]. McFaul has urged
this line Of action from the state and
It is possible that idea may be adopt
ed in preference to the scheme for a
railroad.
