BUREAU MEET At SCHOOL
Continued from page y

deserved to have more interest taken
in its management. Subject to cor
rection, he outlined his plan for man
agement. He would have three good
men, in charge of water, fl
nance and construction with an eff
cheney engineer, to organize the work
ing force, hire the secretary and the
treasurer and the master of construc-
ton. A store house keeper could
save thousands of dollars by checking
up on things lost or stolen now, he
asserted, adding that the eliminating
of the ditch department when not
needed would save $4,000 annually.
He explained a five year mainten-
ance plan He feared this would fail
The price of bonds had been boosted
the sale of liberty bonds. On the
other hand $4,000 a year could be saw
ed on the twenty year plan Sub
stantially this plan was noted in the
TIMES a few weeks ago, being sug-
gested at that time by d. M. Denton.)
1t involved the issuance of 100000
bonds, payable in twenty years, using
the credit of the system, the paying
off of the Indebtedness of 100000 and,
should it be deemed good business, the
sale of the rest of the bonds, reloan-
ing the money to farmers at rate OF
interest below the current, but above
the amount paid.
He reviewed the quarrel between
the officers of the farm bureau and
the county commissioners. After this
a motion was made, seconded and
carried that each member of the bur
eau donate five dollars to the bur
eau.
J. A. CrOm, a former member of the
board said that there was undoubtedly
some inefficiency and it was hard
thing to get rid of. He said little
things ate up the money He crit
cised the plan proposed, however, say
ing that it made for more politics moi
less. Three salaried places at $4,000
each would mean lots of candidates
The stockholders would be in the
same position as now. They would
vote then for those whom they though
the best men, which was what they
were doing now. They might be mis-
taken then as now. And the high sal
aried efficiency man might himsel
be inefficient, since the board nigh
make a mistake in hiring one. H'
thought that it would be good thing
if they could borrow 100000 ant
finish the canal properly. This would
increase its value dnnd the deDt WOul'
gradually be paid off.
The gravel in the canal came up TO
discussion and the resident criticised
the action of the board /. G. Lin
coin took up the matter for the boar
of which he is a member, saying tina
they had tested out a block of grave
from the material without silt in com
parison to one with silt and found tn
latter held water, while the other di
not. The president returned to tn
charge and Mr.. Lincoln withdrew.
The resolutions favoring three di
rectors with power of recall wer
then passed and the meeting adjourn
ed.
President White said yesterday tina
2 by Wednesday he would probabl
know how many proxies he had o
hand.
! In another story the statements c
D others involved in the canal bill ar
' given.

Congress Jumps
on Alabaman
Indignant Address of Representative
Norton of North Dakota Creates
Sensation.

WASHINGTON Sept. Exchanging |
that the statements made by Repre-
sentative Helm in reference to the |
Won Bernstorff $50, 900 "slush fund"
to influence congress were false and |
malicious" and that Representative |
Helm had done irreparable injury to
the house, Representative Norton, of |
North Dakota, this afternoon announc- !
ed his intention of introducing a reso- |
luton to compel Representatives Hef-
lin and Howard of George, to prove
the truth of their statements.
The house interrupted Mr.. Norton
frequently with wild applause and
yells.
When he finished Mr.. Helm indi-
Gated that he would not deny any
part of the statements attributed to
him, and a chorus of "boos" greeted
him.
"If this house shall decide a commit
tee shall be appointed to investigate
Helm shouted finally, land the house
shall ask for the names of these men,
shall name them"
If President Wilson wants congress
to investigate the charges made by
Representative Helm of Alabama,
and the remarks reflecting on some
members of congress by Representa-
tive Howard of Georgia, in regard to
the Bernstorff "slush fund" it will
! be done. If the president does not de-
sire the investigation, none will be
held.
The two resolutions demanding that
Mr.. Helm and Mr.. Howard prove
their assertions will die in the rules
committee, it was said yesterday, un-
less the White House thinks it advis-
able to indicate that a probe would
be considered wise.

first starring vehicle "A Sister Of
six"
In "The Heiress at 'Coffey Dams, I"
which marks Miss Loves second star
ring performance. Bennett Is again
seen opposite her in quaint charac-
ter role which he IS said to interpret
most Interestingly. 1t is that Of a sim.
pie hearted but extremely eccentric
composer. who finds himself con-
fronted with the task of rescuing his
beloved hrom a band Of crooks. Dis
playing unexpected energy and valor,
he succeeds and reaps monetary re-

Ever since Pauline Frederick made
such a great success Of the Famous
Players adaptation of Mary Johnson's
celebrated novel Audrey the pro-
ducers have been searching for an
other strong primitive character for
this beautiful star. Such a one has
been found in Willard Mack's power
full story, "Nanette Of the Wilds,' in
which Miss Frederick is starred on
the Paramount Program at the Alta
theater tonight Nanette is the
daughter of a Canadian liquor SNUG
gler who Is operating in defiance OF
! the Royal Canadian Northwest
Mounted Police. One Of the Mount
ed. as they are called is detailed to
catch the smugglers and Nanette
fights with heart and soul to protect
her father from the hated Red Coat,
despite the fact that she gradually
falls under the spell Of this clever
chap whose utter fearlessness appeals
to her and wins her undying admira-
ton. Willard Mack himself plays
the role of O'Brien Of the Mounted,
one Of the important characters in
the picture.
In addition to this great picture the
vaudeville is supreme. Rosa Frazer,
presenting a clever musical singing
comedy and the Knickerbocker Quar-
tette is without a doubt the finest
that has ever been in Pendleton. They
are direct from the Knickerbocker
theater, New York. and touring the
west over the Pantages circuit.

Lillian Walker wilfdelight all mem
bers of her audience in the swim
ming scenes OF "Indiscretlon," the VI
tagraph Blue Ribbon Feature, which
is the attraction at the Pastime The
ater today only.
In this story the dimpled darling Of
the screen plays the role Of a care
free girl whose mothers death has
left her strangely lacking in any
knowledge OF the conventions.
She delights in fishing on Sunday,
startling the townfolk by prancing
through the quiet streets barefooted
and doing all the hundred and one
things which are tabooed.
The swimming scenes, however.
fairly abound with life, and the pic
turesque mountain stream framed on
either side by green trees and shrubs
forms fitting background for the
aquatic feats which the little star per-
forms.
True to he will-'o-the-wisp nature
of the role she plays. she is garbed in
a onepiece suit which does not ham

Vaudeville that is real entertaining
and far above any that has been seen
in Pendleton is what the Temple Of
fered and will offer again tonight. 1t
isn't often that you get to see three
acts Of such wonderful vaudeville and
a complete picture program without
an advance in price and this is made
possible only by the large capacity Of
the Temple. BY far the finest and
best stage act that ever visited PEN
dleton was that Of Chin Sun LOO, n
mysterious Chinaman who produced
steaming hot coffee from canisters
which had been filled with beans,
sawdust and other .unpromising ingre-
dients. From plain sheets of paper,
mo@ beautiful lace-like patterns
were torn out by the performers fin
gers alone. the last bearing the motto
"Boost Pendleton and Let 'er Buck,
was greeted with rounds Of applause
The other two acts were Myra Erring-
ton singing and novelty musical act
featuring the Silver Spinning Coins
and the last hut not least was james

who was highly entertaining.
