GRAHAM FORCED TO TEAR DOWN STRVCTURE Furniture Man Was Violating Two Ordinances Copies of Ordinances f Will Bo Circulated Anions Con tractors Sidewalk to Be Built. for the Improvement of the entire street, north of the bridge. According to the new gas fran chise ordinance introduced at last evening's session of the council, the city will receive about $600 or $800 more money from the Northwestern corporation than it would under the terms of the old franchise, which had been granted to its predecessor, the Northwestern Gas & Electric com pany. The new franchise will be for a period of 25 years and with the ex ception of the change in the amount of revenue to be derived by the city, provisions are practically Identical with those of the old. That the ordinance providing for the Issuance of building permits be fore changes, removal or erection of buildings anywhere in the city are allowed and that the ordinance regu lating the kind of structures within the fire limits are to be enforced to the letter, was made evident at last evening's meeting of the council. The attempt of W. R. Graham to erect a corrugated iron addition to the Betz building into which he recently moved his furniture store, brought the sub ject to the attention of the council. In erecting this structure the proprietor of the Pendleton furniture store was violating both ordinances for he had neglected to secure a permit to erect any kind of structure, and the one he was building did not conform to the requirements of the fire limit ordi nance. The matter was referred to the fire committee with instructions to see that the ordinances were enforced and the committee has therefore com pelled Mr. Graham to tear down what he had already built. In order that the builders and con tractors throughout the city may have a clear understanding of what is re quired before any kind of building will be permitted anywhere in the city, Mayor Murphy suggested lasts evening that copies of the building permit ordinance be printed for dis tribution among these men. Coun cilman Strobie asked that the side walk ordinance be included in the pamphlet and a committee was ap pointed to make arrangements for printing such a pamphlet. The mem- bers of this committee are Council men Strobie, Knight and Sharon. Sidewalk Will Be Built. The street committee to whom has been referred the matter of the peti tion for the sidewalk along the west side of Jane street to High street from Bluff, reported favorably upon the petition. The report was adopted and the city attorney instructed to pre pare a resolution providing for the construction of the walk. The street committee was also in structed to take steps toward the Improvement of East Court street from the Byers mill race to the east ern limits of the city. The matter of the improvement of North Main street was brought up by Councilman Montgomery, but was passed for the present as the committee announced that it has plans under consideration BODY OF RAILROAD VICTIM BROUGHT HERE The body of 'Jeff Spere. son of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Spere of Nye, who was killed in a railroad accident near Sac ramento, California, last Saturday, ar rived in Pendleton last evening. The young man disappeared from this county while working in the harvest fields north ot Pendleton, eleven years ago, and nothing was heard of him until about a year ago. Another let ter was received about a week before his death. The efforts of relatives to ascertain some of the particulars of the accident which resulted In the death of the young man have been unavailing. The remains were taken to Pilot Rock this morning by a brother, George W. Spere. They were also accompanied by Rev. J. M. Cornelison, who will preach the funeral sermon in the absence of Rev. E. W. Warring ton, who is ill at St. Anthony's hos pital. Though the body was badly cut up as a result of the accident which re sulted in his death, his brother de clared the body to be that of his brother and said there could be no mistake in the identity. PERSONAL MENTION LEDFORD GIVES CALL TO THE O'CON VERTED Ledford at the Baptist church took for his subject "A Call to the Uncon verted." Isiah 55:6-7. The meeting last night was one of the best. Good audience and perfect attention mark ed the service. The evangelist preach ed especially to unbelievers. His ser mon was shorter than usual and was followed by an after meeting, at which most of the audience stayed. "Turning to God," Evangelist Ledford said, "Involved not only a change of heart but a change of mind as well. Forsaking unrighteous thought Is what God asks. Yet God doesn't want your head so much as your heart. It Is the heart God Is after." "Penitent sinners will find God a par doning God." "Except you have re ligion in the heart you can not look at God and say 'Father. " Mr. Ledford sang "My Mother's Prayer." Meeting tonight and tomorrow niRht. Do not. fail to hoar Ledford before he leaves the city. He will be here over Sunday. twill m Delicately formed and gently reared, women will find, in all the seasons of their lives, as maidens, wives or mothers, that the one simple, wholesome remedy which acts gently and pleasantly and naturally, and which may be used with truly beneficial effects, under any conditions, when the system needs a laxative, is Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna. It is well known to be a simple combination of the laxative and carminative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic liquids, which are agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system when its gentle cleansing is desired. Only those who buy the genuine Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna can hope to get its beneficial effects, and as a guarantee of the excellence of the remedy, the full name of the company California Fig Syrup Co. is printed on the front of every package, and without it any preparation offered as Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is fraudulent and should be declined. To those who know the quality of this excellent laxative, the offer of any substi tute, when Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is called for, is always resented by a transfer of patronageto some first-class drug establish merit, where they do not recommend, nor false brands, nor imitation remedies. The genu ine article may be bought of all reliable drug gists everywhere; one size only, price 50 cents per bottle. Get a to have in the house when needed J. M.
