RED CROSS BEGINS
NEAR EAST DRIVE

Washington D. C.-Plans for imme-
diate relief work in the near east
overshadowed all else when the annual
convention OF the American Red Cross
was opened here Monday by Its chair
man, Judge John Barton Payne. TLou-
sands of delegates were Id attendance
from all parts of the country.
Judge Payne read letter from Pres.
ident Harding, who was unable to at
tend the opening session, expressing
satisfaction because Of the organiza.
tion's unfailing strength and readiness
for every emergency.
President Harding has designated
the American Red Cross and the Near
East Relief to supervise the collection
and administration Of near east
emergency fund, drive for which is
to be started at once.

OREGON-WHITMAN
GRIDIRON BATTLE

The Oregon Whitman annual grid
iron battle will take place at Round
Up Park in Pendleton, next Friday
afternoon, October 20. As this will be
the only big conference game played
in Eastern Oregon this season, much
interest is manifested in the result.
The fact that wise management is
taking the high school teams of the
county to the game admission free,
has created friendly feeling in ev-
cry community, and the principal
wish is that the staging of the big
conference contest in Pendleton, may
be the fore-runner for games later.
Oregon is known to be strong in
most of hc- ! s'tions, and the fact
that the Missionaries held the husky
Idahoans to three-point margin at
Walla Walla last Saturday, lends
strength to the claim that Borleske's
aggregation will give good account
OF itself in the Oregon melee.
The Missionaries and Idaho played
straight football Saturday, all the
way through, and only the cleverness
of the Mathews machine in blocking
open plays, prevented Whitman
from scoring. The balance in weight
favored the Idaho squad and the ball
after the first period was most of
the time in Whitman territory, but
when striking distance was reached,
Borieske's lighter bunch always held
tight and punted out Of danger. The
Idaho score came the last of the
first half on a drop kick by Fritzke.
This clever player, who was with Wy
oming last year, is said to have been
declared ineligible, and if so, the Ida
no game which was protested by
Whitman, will count them nothing.

SHIPS PROHIBITED
All Vessels Barred From Hav-
ing Liquor Aboard in Amer
lean Territorial Waters.

Washington, d. Cali vessels,
American and foreign-owned. are pro-
hibited from having liquor on board
In American territorial waters under
an Interpretation Of the prohibition
amendment and the enforcement act
handed down by the department of
justice.
Moreover, the transportation or sale
Of intoxicants on American craft,
wherever operated. was held to be in
hibited.

tinental United States but also those
within the same limit of the Philip

So far as American ships are con-
cerned, the sale or transportation
Of liquor will cease at once, or as
soon as those vessels reach their home
ports. In the case Of foreign ships the
decision will become operative as soon
as the necessary regulations can be
prepared and promulgated by the

tering American ports were foreseen

Timber Barons
Are After Pierce

The Portland Journal has dug ur
a $4,000 slush fund, that is being
raised by the timber and lumber in
terests Of the state to defeat Walter
Pierce for governor. The Journal
says:
@Walter M. Pierce has grown suffi-
GENTLY dangerous as gubernatorial
candidate to the timber barons Of the
state to arouse S. B. Cobb, of the
Standard Box & Lumber company
and other Of his associates, to raise a
subscription pot of $25,000 for use
against Pierce in the remaining days
Of the campaign. Of this total sum
$4,000 has been subscribed, accord
ing to one of those asked to put his
name down for $1,000.
"This, the most interesting develop
ment of the past week in political
circles, came to light during the past
day or so while Cobb was carrying
his subscription list about in search
of signers.
ut is Cobb's argument, so the rela-
tion has it. that Pierce in his public
speeches here and there over the
state, has proclaimed his intention, in
the. event Of his election to work for
the enactment Of a severance tax Of
81 the thousand on all lumber cut
within the state, Such tax, Cobb
has been insisting, would put the big
lumber owners and lumber men at a
great disadvantage and prove dis
astrous to the business,
"Among the subscribers to the fund
SO far, IT Is related, are W, L. Thom-
son Of the First National bank; w. B.
Aver Of the Eastern q Western Lum-
Der company; Ben Selling, the cloth
ier; S. B. Cobb; I. N. Day, former
state senator and well-known paving
contractor; John B. Yeon, owner of
the Yeon building and member of the
state highway commission; j. G,
Ainsworth of the United States Nat
ional bank.
"In addition to these subscriptions,
all marked paid and in the sum Of
$1,000 each, there are various other
smaller amounts subscribed from $199
up, bringing the total signed for UP
to the present time to $4,000, The
ultimate total Is to be $4,000,
Seemingly, since the sinews Of war
are being gathered together in such
generous amount, the Forthcoming
days of the gubernatorial campaign
are to be full of interest, advertise
ment, propaganda and other means of
spreading the gospel from the view
point Of the anti-Pieree camp. From
now on there will be no cessation Of
political hostilities until after the last
voter has walked into the booth Nov
ember Z, marked his ballot and placed
it in the box"

CHARLEY PIERCE QUALITIES
AS al FRIEND OF ORPHANS

Charles M. Pierce, at one time a
Weston banker and well known to all
the people Of this section, is up from
Los Angeles, cheeringly greeting old
friends and acquaintances.
Charley is known in Los Angeles
as the orphans friend. In seventeen
years down there he delivered 121
tons of foodstuffs to orphans homes
and took the parentless little ones
on no less than 200 free excursion
trips. All this was done at a per-
sonal expense of $4,000 and has earn
ed him scores of letters breathing
gratitude in every line.
This benevolent work has not been
altogether unselfish, for from it
Charley derives a vast amount Of
pleasure. He now thinks, talks and
almost breathes orphans, and would
probably eat them if they were edi-
BILE according to civilized standards.
He is the enthusiastic disciple and
advocate of the orphans wherever
he goes. Just now, in Oregon, he is
working for the orphans homes in
Oregon. He will shortly perform a
similar mission in Washington, and
then contemplates trip eastward.
He does not solicit and takes no
money in hand. His evangel is de-
voted solely to securing bequests for
the orphans in the wills of all
friends whom he can interest in
their behalf.
'Destitution is more general than
people In your own prosperous re-
gion have any idea Of" says Charley
Pierce. "Not only orphans, but
homeless grownups, are reckoned in
the urban army Of sufferers, In Los
Angeles today more than 10000 peo-
pie either 30 hungry or are fed BY
the hand Of charity, and in Portland
the number of unfortunates Is
approximately 7OoO."

TOOK CHANCE ON RAIN

Many of the farmers have COM
pleted seeding and their general hope
now is that rain will come in time to
start growing before the seed stops in
the terminating stage, withers and
dies. This fall for the most part big
chances have been taken on rain fall
at the proper time. It is said that the
lower moisture is below the seed bed,
and surface moisture is needed to
bring it UP.
