Dance Will be Given
as Benefit to GuiOtt

On next Monday evening Pendle-
ton musicians, lodges and business
men will give a public dance In the
Moose hall in celebration of the re-
storation of sight to Carl Guiott. The
full proceeds will be turned over to
the man who though blind has
made his own way in the world with.
out any appeal to charity.
Plans for the dance were complet.
ed last evening. Started by the mu-
sicians who have been closely asso-
ciated for years with Mr.. Guiott, the
suggestion was seized upon by a
number OF business men and lodges
with enthusiasm. The musicians VOL
unteered to furnish the music with
out cost and the Moose lodge prompt
~ offered to contribute their hall
for the event. Other lodges and
number of business men asked per-
mission to dispose of tickets and
friends who live in other towns have
asked that tickets be sent there.
The tickets are being printed to-
day and will be circulated during
the weekend. Already many re-
quests for them have been received
His many friends, regardless OF
whether or not they dance have
come forward with ready assurances
of support and even strangers have
signified their intention of joining in
this most unusual celebration Of
most unusual event.
Mr.. Guiott has probably played for
more dances in Umatilla county than

NatatOrium Turned
Over to Council at
Session Last Night
MANAGEMENT AND MAINTEN.
ANCE OF SWIMMING POOL
IN CTTYrS HANDS NOW.

The management and maintenance
Of the public natatorium was last ev-
ening formally transferred from the
Commercial club committee. which
has had charge during construction,
to the city council
The committee waited upon the
council at the regular meeting and
asked to be relieved of the manage
ment but declaring a willingness to
continue in the work of collecting un.
paid subscriptions and closing up
the financial part of the construction
work. The council somewhat reluct-
antly took over the pool, several OF
the members stating that they would
prefer to have the Commercial club
committee continue to act.
Messrs c. NJ. Bishop and G. A.
Hartman. members of the committee,
made a report to the council on the
status Of the pool They stated that
if all of the subscriptions which had
been signed were paid they would
have money enough to complete the
payments to the contractors How,
ever. they anticipated that some of
the subscriptions would not prove
eollectihle and that they would prob
ably have to raise some additional
funds
They recommended Messrs Tubhs
and Thomas, who now have actual
charge Of the pool, as competent men
and they will probably he continued
in their respective positions as flnan-
cial agent and earetaker. The COM
mittee stated that the receipts from
swimmers last Saturday and Sunday
amounted to over $50 and expressed
the belief that the present charges
would prove amply sufficient to
mtaintain the pool and to provide a !
balance to pay for swimming suits
and towels.
In being relieved of the manage
ment OF the pool. the committee ex-
pressed willingness to serve the
council in an advisory capacity at
any time.

The sight, which he regained Mon
day afternoon so miraculously, con-
tinues to improve slowly. This
morning Mr. Guiott stated that he
could distinguish objects better than
he could yesterday His vision is
better for things at a distance than
close up.
According to the physicians who
examined the eye, the return Of sight
was caused by the displacement Of
an Opaque crystalline lens which lay
between the pupil and the retina,
thus preventing the visualized object
from being transferred to the retina,
There is some danger. they say. that
the lens capsule will rupture as a
result OF the displacement but Mr..
Guiott is confident that he will re.

Because he Is alleged to have stol-

Pendleton gravity water system, ].
d. Rose, who operates harvester on
the reservation. will be arrested and
prosecuted The city water com
mission is filing the information
against him and has instructed Dis
trict Attorney Frederick Steiwer to
prepare the complaint at once. The
complaint will be filed this afternoon
or within the next day or two, in all
probability.
Rose is alleged to have broken the
lock from the lid OF the manhole
which Is located on the Sam Bittner
ranch five miles above the city He
was running a harvester on that
place at the time and the supposition
is that he opened the manhole to
take water for his tanks.
Supt f. b. HAYES discovered the
offense about two weeks ago when
he was making a trip up the pipe
line. He found the broken lock near
the manhole and another common
lock substituted for it. Appearances
Indicated that someone had been us.
ing the manhole as a source OF sup-
ply for several days
The water commission is very
much aroused over the matter and
declares the charges will be pushed
TO the limit The loss OF the water
does not amount to anything but the
opening OF the manhole creates a
source of danger from contamination.
THE city has too much money in
vested In It's water system to permit
Of such tampering," declared Chair
man J. 4. Brown this morning.
District Attorney steiwer states
that the offender may be prosecuted
under several statutes He may be
charged with larceny inasmuch as
the water in the pipeline has become
the property Of the city or he may be
with malicious destruction
of personal property 1t is probable
that the latter charge will be filed
against him.

Refusal of Rural

LETTER RECEIVED BY CHAM

REGARDING QUESTION.

More explicit reasons for the re-

establish a rural line into the Coombs
Canyon district are contained IN a
letter just received by Senator Cham
berlain from the fourth assistant
postmaster general a copy of which
was forwarded yesterday to Frank
Hardy, one Of the interested peti.
TONERS. TIL fact that many of the
petitioners were found to be resi-
dents of Pendleton or to be living

conclusion that the requirements for

NOVEL EXPERIENCE
 ABOARD MAR|POsA

It is a sad tale but one H. J. Titus he of the Great Big Baked Potato" has rival in the far North, or to be exact, two rivals. Fred Cabanas, chef, and Otto Koyne. head baker of the s. S. Mariposa, on a recent trip of that vessel, quit outdid the potato man." possibly due to the fact that a large number of the friends of the Northern Pacific official were aboard the vessel. Every day or so some thing new or novel was sprung upon the passengers. It was a log cabin, representing the home of an American pioneer with few fruit cake fire crackers. In Prince William Sound there were copper nuggets at every place which proved to be delicious chocolates. At Cook Inlet the cen ter piece was a little sugared loco motive and at Juneau, the after-dinner hints took the form of golden nuggets. Chief Steward Taylor of the Mariposa quite outdid himself in caring for the big passenger list. Tourist from all over the country were aboard, and with the ideal weather, the service and the many courtesies extended by the entire ships company, from Cap tain c. J. O'Brien down to the hum- blest employee, the visitors left the ship with regret.-Ex.

SAW MILL TO OPERATE

Considerably difficulty was experi- enced in landing Col Stevenson's saw mill plant at Portage bay, which we understand is to be in charge of our former townsman, Mike Sullivan. It could not be landed at the head of the bay, but safe anchorage was found for the southerly side. The mill will cut timber for the Alaska Engineering Comm ission, to be used at Anchorage.

MOSQUITO FLEET
 ON COOK INLET

Not the least interesting feature about Anchorage Is the great mosquito fleet making it's headquarters at that point. They swarm about the vessel as it enters the harbor and they are making big money owing to the fact that they charge s1 for lighterIng pas sengers or S2 for the round trip, this during the first six hours of the stay of. the vessel, after which the price drops to 50 cents one way. As every vessel entering has had from 150 to 200 passengers the mosquito fleet has picked up quite tidy sum, and as meals are being served in the Seattle Cafe" and other tent places at 50 cents, these intrepid mariners ought certainly to make little cleanup while the excitement last.
 The only trouble Is that "the pick ings," having been so good at first the news heralded abroad and there will soon be too many to make 1t profitable. These vessels have drifted in from every part of the Pacific Nome, Kodiak, San Francisco, Taco ma, Seattle, Juneau and various other ports of registry appearing on the sterns. There were many small located on Turnagain or Knik Arms but these have been augmented by the invaders from afar. Some of these vessels are disregarding all rules by greatly overlooking with passen- gers and owing to the heavy tidal currents and other conditions, unless they are forced to strictly obey the law by the Steamboat Inspection Service or such other department in authority, some serious accident might result
