Some of the principal. points men
toned by Mr.. Ford are as follows:
'Fiot Mr. Chambers vice president
in charge of Traffic, Santa Fe Rail-
road to admit that railroad freight
rates We're essential in the develop
ment of a city and that the railroads
by their rates endeavored to maintain
what he termed the balance of in
dustries by fostering them at Chicago
and similar cities.
Shortly after this admission had
been pulled out of Chambers. Exami-
ner Disque asked IF the railroads
find II good business to build rates to
develop an interior city such as Chi
cago on one end, why would II not be
equally good business to so build the
rates as to develop and build up inter
or cities such as Reno and Spokane on
tho other end?'
Conditions are different, replied
Chambers. Reno and Spokane are not
manufacturing centers. They are con.
|suming centers
"This developed an interesting point
that the intermediate Rate Associa-
tion has been looking for, and the rail
roads Will be asked to justify their
fright to recognize market competition
when they refuse TO recognize consum-
ing competition which makes market
competition."

AWAY FROM FEED AS
SNOW STORM ENSUES
No Serious Losses so Far
But Damage Will Come if
Storm Proves Persistent.
CONTINUED on page 81

The livestock industry faces heavy
damages lin some cases If the storm
does not abate soon. According TO
leading livestock men. there are some
cattrs and sheep which have been
caught away from feed, and every ef-
fort is being made now to get hay or
straw to these stranded herds and
bands. Smythe Bros. have one band Of
sheep which is nine miles from feed,
and the Cunningham sheep CO. also
have some sheep which are away from
feed. The sheep can go without feed
for MANY hours without severe injury,
and neither firm anticipates any seri-
Gus loss
The warehouse of the McCintock
and Simpson implement firm which is
behind the main building was threat
ened this morning, but prompt work in
shoveling snow, when some OF the
cross timbers started to split under the
strain of excessive weight, prevented
collapse.

The hearing on Countess application

The following messages from Mr..
Ford give line on the way the hear
ing is shaping up:
Chicago, Illinois, Nov. II.
First day exceedingly satisfactory
Carriers have not established single

men very helpful. Chambers testi-

HAPPY CANYON PAVILION ROOF
FALLS UNDER WEIGHT OF SNOW;
DANCE HALL A TOTAL WRECK
$500 Damage Estimated on
Structure; Grand Stand part
of Canyon Still Uniniured.

The Happy Canyon pavilion proved
the first storm Casualty in Pendleton
when the roof caved in under the
weight of snow yesterday forenoon.
About IL o'clock a portion of the roof
went down and later in the day more
of the roof fell. AS n result the en-
tire pavilion is a wreck, the roof hay
ing fallen in upon the dance floor and
the walls being damaged by the cave
in.
The roof over the grandstand seats is
in no danger and that part of Happy
Canyon is so far safe from harm.
However the entire pavilion will have
to be rebuilt if the Canyon is again to
be used in its present location.
The present Happy Canyon struc-
ture was erected in 1915 and the con-
struction work was hurried, the whole
job being completed in II days. The
building is owned by the Commercial
Association and the loss is estimated
by James Sturgis, president of the as
socation at $500.
What can be done about rebuilding
the pavilion is problem yet to be de
cided. m4

Two Feet Of Snow Falls; Covers

School Attendance Cut Down to
About IS Percent of Normal
According to Reports.

With the barometer at 99.43. n
storm, either rain or snow, Is predict
ed for tonight by Major Lee Moor
house, weather observer. The maxi.
mum today is "a, just eight degrees
below freezing while the mercury last
night dropped to 10. The drop In
temperature last night was accompa-
MED by slcet which continued during
the morning hours.
Many thousands of dollars of dam
age, the total extent of which Is i'm
possible to form an estimate, has been
incurred in Pendleton and Umatilla
county as result of the heaviest No
vember snow storm that has fallen in
this section in the state during the past
25 years,
Two feet OF snow had fallen and
covered groaning buildings, broke tele-
phone and telegraph wires, impeded
street traffic almost completely block
ed rail- traffic and caused the collapse
of some roofs when the storm let up
in its fury Sunday night about 10
o'clock.
Today, the weather man has been
handling out fitful sprays OF snow and
some sleet, and the promise of the
weather department for the rest of the
day and tonight Is rain and snow
Business Is feeling the effect of the
storm, chiefly due to the tie-up in traf-
fic which has resulted. School attend
ance has been cut down to about rs
per cent Of normal according to the
( report of school authorities. Up at
Meacham, where the snowfall was two
feet deep Saturday, several autos were
stalled and motorists were expecting
| to ship out by rail II was impossible
to get in touch with Meacham today
because the wires were down. SO the
! total extent of the fall there is not
| known.
The service of physicians depends
on the physical endurance of the doc
tors themselves because they have
been compelled to answer calls on foot
to n large degree.
The roof of the Clemens and Ebert
garage and implement building on
East Court street. and the Happy Cam
yon pavilion are two buildings which
have collapsed as a result of the weight
of snow on their roofs
Not for 25 years has Pendleton had
such n heavy snow so early in the sea-
son, according to the testimony OF old
residents. In 1896, 25 years ago, there
was two-foot snowfall on November

CITIZENS
ARE DIGGING OUT
ON ACCOUNT OF SNOW
Snowfall Amounts to "a Inches;
Street Commissioner Has
Men Clearing Streets.

Pcndleton today reversed the prac-
tice of soldiers during the war to dig
in and substituted digging OUT in
stead. The activity was caused by the
heavy fall of snow which crippled
traffic of all kinds as a resllt OF
about So hours of continuous storm.
The snowfall amounted to "a inches,
according to the figures of Major Lee
Moorhouse.
Fifty-three men were on the pay
roll Of the municipality this morning
and practically all of them owed their
Jobs to the damage done by the snow
This force worked under the direction
of Street Commissioner c. A. Crabtree
clearing the streets and sidewalks
% traffic could be resumed.
The main part of the force was en-
gagged with shovels in clearing cutters
and cross streets in the business sec
ion. Assisting the paid force were
many property owners who took care
of securing clearance on the side
walks proper.
In some places q six horse team with
road grader was used, and II cata-
p llar tractor was Communicated for
use in the emergency. but in the bus
mess section, the old NO. 2" shovel
was the reliable standby of the street
department. The snow was banked so
deep on the pavement edge down town
that the shovel was about the only in
strhment which could be used to adj
vantage, according to the street com
missioner.
Cars had comparatively little diff
Guilty in getting around on the down
town streets where tracks were made
as the storm progressed, but on the
grades and in the residential districts
Imotor traffic was at a standstill. Prac'
tically no cars we're parked downtown
during the day, and comparatively few
were to be seen.
The chief problem of the street de
partment, according to Mr.. Crabtree
S to get the cutters cleared of snow 50
that. in the event of quick run-off
he thaw may be cared for without an.
sewers or cutters becoming blocked.

the crop year between August FL and

Duluth receipts Of 20 millions; wheat
milled by outside mills of 16 millions,
and : a deduction made for Canadian
receipts of more than 8 millions.
