Mayor McCk-flan Fighting a Brave
Battle for Good Order.
New York, Dec. 2. The periodical
denunciation of the police has- begun
again with the familiar statement
tbitt New York la one more "wide
open." Police Commissioner McAdoo
is credited with leal and honesty of
purpose in the Immense and practi
cally Impossible task of enrorclng the
law against gambling and evil resorts
and preventing "grafting- by the po
lice, "but specific charges that he has
faired as dismally ns other commis
sioners, excerpt Roosevelt, are made,
and can hardly be denied.
It Is said that below Forty-second
street there is scarcely any attempt
at secrecy about the operation of
poolrooms. Besides the betting on
racing going on throughout the coun
try, other games of chance are operat
ed. In some cases It is suld that there
is not wen a partition to divide the
poolroom proper from the portion of
the apartment where other games are
played.
If & patron loses on the horses, he
often attempts to recoup at the other
games, and vice versa. That payment
and 'heavy payment. Is made for per
mission to carry on gambling in this
varted style is not doubted. Perhaps
Tammany Is making good ante-elec-tkm
"promises to the vicious element,
bOt It Is only justice to say that Mayor
McClellan and Commissioner McAdoo
are doing all they can to fullfll their
promises of a clean government.
'HIGH PRICE RANGE STEERS.
Twenty-Eight Hollars Around Reallx
' ed for Two-Year-Olds ln Texas.
A Clarendon, Texas, dispatch says:
The highest price received this season
for range cattle in this section was
realized by J. 8. Jeffries of Boydston,
who disposed of 40 head of 2-year-old
steers to Charles Harris for 128
around. Cattle values have been even
lower here than It would appear the
low market would Justify, and since
the sale of this bunch at such a fig
ure many express their determination
to hold for an advanced price.
The employes of the J. A. ranch
have purchased about 500 head of
yearling steers, paying an average
price of $14 a head.

Two lads, neatly dressed, were
placed under arrest 'last night by
Marshal Carney upon telegraphic In
structions from Portland, stating that
they had run away from home. James
Hewett, father of one of the boys,
arrived ln Pendleton this morning,

Both were willing to return home,
and explained their leaving by stat
ing that thy wanted to see the world.
Knowing that they could not obtain
their parents' consent, they took their
departure without notifying anyone.
Hewett stated that he was not un
easy regarding the welfare of his boy.
but that the lad's mother was almost
frantic at his leaving, so he notified
the Portland police and caused their
apprehension. The other boy. is the
son of a widow, and his mother its
very unxlous regarding him.
BAZAAR A SUCCESS.
Brilliant Display at Armory Hall Ijast
Night and Tonight.
The first night of the Presbyterian
bazaar surpassed the expectations f
,the women in charge and this after
noon the early crowds were but a
hint of what la to come this evening-
All the booths were well patronised
last night, many of them selling al
most the entire stock oa hand. The
hall was thronged with visitors and
purchasers until late at night and
the attendants were rushed with the
work.
The various booths are beautifully
arranged and the bazar presents a
brilliant appearance. All the Dooms
did a thriving business last night, de
spite the counter attractions In the
city. Tonight will be even more bril
liant than last night, a musical pro
gram and other entertainments hav
ing been prepared for tonight.
The display of handkercnieis, an
work, wearing apparel, cooked food
and other articles Is attractive and
the dainty and fancy wares offered
for sale are bargains for Christmas
presents.
Perhaps the mince pie, cocoa,
candy, doughnuts and the tea coun
ters did more than a norma busi
ness last night, but the supply has
been replenished and the tables are
well laden awaiting the crowds to
night Tonight's Prograui.
The following program has been
arranged for tonight at the bazaar:

TEN-HOUND GO.
Mullen and Mitchell Meet at the Fra
ser Tonight
Barney Mullen and Jack Mitchell
will, meet for a 10-round go at the
Frazer this evening. Both men are
clever boxers and among the best
lightweights In the Inland Empire.
Several Interesting prelllmnarles will
uu'iea on with local amateurs In
the ring.
The records of Mullen and Mitchell
show some strong fights, and victories
over hard hitters. The men were to
have fought In this city a month ago.
but the event was postponed on ac.
count of objections raised by the po
lice. Both fighters are in good condi
tion for the match tonight, and It Is
believed the bout will go the limit.
Betting on the result of the contest
is about even. Mitchell has fought '
twice In Pendleton and knocked out
his man both times. Mullen has nevsr
appeared in a Pendleton prise ring,
but during the summer fought Indian
Joe Gregg 17 rounds, losing on a foul
after he had broken his right hand.
Lewi Carglll and Vaughn Finch
will go on in the main preliminary
this evening. The other boxers are
Rod Dupul and Hank Guyll.
The recent violent storm at New
York created great confusion on
Governor's Island, where the govern
ment has a number of unfinished
buildings that were -damaged by the
wind. During the hubbub nine pris
oners took to an open boat, reached
the mainland and escaped.
Rice Visits Pilot Rock.
. G. M. Rice, cashier of the First Na
tional Bank of Pendleton, waa a vis
itor to Pilot Rock yesterday. This
was Mr. Rice's first visit to this sec
tion of Umatilla county. Mr. Rice
succeeded to his present position on
tne resignation of C. B. Wade. Mr.
Rice is a very pleasant gentleman to
meet and looks mora like a farmer or
stockman than a cashier of a bank.
He is approachable and seems to be
very popular with the country people.
Since Mr. Rice assumed management
of the affairs of the First National
bank that solid old institution is see
ing its brightest days. According to
the last report issued there is now
nearly $1,000,000 on deposit Pilot
Rock Record.
