The county court of Umatilla county Li to be called upon for some financial support for Co. 1 O. N. G. Realizing the value of a national guard company to the young manhood of the com munity, the Pendleton Commercial association at the regular meeting last night drew up resolutions asking that the court supplement tiie state appropriation which Is said to be In adequate to meet the expenses of the organization. Captain C. J. Ferguson, who has been working assiduously since his ap pointment as head of Co. ! to raise the standard of that organization, !s the father of the present movement which Is In keeping with the policy of several other counties In the state, notably Marion, Clackamas, and Clat sop. At present the state gives an an nual appropriation of $600 to the com pany which sum Is to meet all run ning expenses, including rent, lights, fuel. Insurance, repairs, mainten ance of a range and other incidentals. The rent itself amounts to $400 which leaves the military boys but $200 with which to meet all other expenses, and because of this meager allowance thev have been greatly handicapped For the past year the company has been without a Janitor for the armory, the captain has been forced to do all of his own clerical work, some of the windows have been broken out of the armory and never replaced and there are no blinds to any of the windows. Then. too. the boys of Co. L were forced to go to the annual encamp ment last year without any company fund and so had to be content with the scant rations doled out by tho commissary department while the companies encamped with them were enjoying delicacies purchased out of their reserve fund. All of these conditions together with the fact that the state officers have been more than fair in helping the company on its feet. Induced Cap tain Ferguson to ask the county court to come to his assistance. He states that about $600 will be necessary to put the armory in habitable shape and place the company on a good working basis. Following are the resolutions as ad opted by the Commercial association last evening: Whereas, we believe that the exist ence and' maintenance of a National Guard company in Umatilla county Is of great benefit, not only for the young men but for the community, And, Whereas, It has been deter mined that the funds supplied by the State and National Government are not sufficient to properly maintain the present company. Therefore, be It resolved by this as oclation at their regular meeting held on Tuesday, December 6th, 1910, that we recommend to the County Court of Umatilla county that they render some assistance by the appropriation of a sufficient sum to properly main tain the armory and assist company L In meeting necessary current ex penses.

Miss Elizabeth Topping, who served as librarian at the Pendleton public lihrarv for a time last summer. Is now an assistant under Miss Marvin, seeretry of the state library commis sion in Salem. She has the position of reference librarian.' Still another one of the neighbor hood rows that have made the vlcln ity of Cabbage Hill notorious In the history of Umatilla county has been threshed out and temporary settle ment secured through the medium of the law. The complaining party this time was Mrs. Mary Paulsen, who has figured very conspicuously In Cab bage Hill history and whose record of achievements might well make a mil itant suffragette emerald with envy. "Lucky" Baldwin was the other par ty to the case, but since his trouble with the belligerent Mrs. Paulsen, he perhaps Justly considers that his front appellation is more or less of a misnomer. The row In question arose over "Lucky's" cows and the widow's dogs, the lady using her canine protectors to keep the bovine possessions of her neighbor from trespassing on her pre serves. When one of Mrs. Paulsen's dogs was uponsoned, she testified that she corraled the offending cattle and carried a note to their owner inform ing him that they would not be re leased until a certain stipulated tres pass fee was paid over. This she said aroused the wrath of the defendant so that he swore at and cursed her with all the fluency of a sea pirate of old. Not satisfied with this, she al leged, he pursued her when she turn ed to escape his tirade, caught her by the shoulders and "slashed" her re peatedly to the rock-strewn and snow covered ground. Tn substantiation of her testimony to this effect, her daughter told of the great bruises on the nether limbs of the woman fol lowing the encounter. There were other parties who could bear witness to the extent of the Injuries received but their testimony was not consid ered necessary by Deputy District At torney Stelwer. However, Robert Clark and Albert Moody declared on the stand that Baldwin had told them that he had slapped the "old wo man." Baldwin himself was the only wit ness Introduced by the defense and he swore roundly that he had not laid violent hands on the woman but that, on the other hand, she had abused him with such language that would make the most shameless creature blush. He further testified that the witnesses for the prosecution were dyed-in-the-wool liars. The Jury, however, failed to be con vinced that they were liars and In a few minutes returned a verdict of guilty. Justice of the Peace Joe Parkes imposed a fine of twenty-five dollars and costs upon the defendant. and the prosecuting witness left for her Cabbage Hill ranch much satis fled. Attorney O. W. Coutts, who acted as counsel for the defendant, filed no tice of an appeal so the end la not yet. jst Session of County Court.

County Recorder P. W. Hendley Is in receipt of a letter from William R, Holton, a newspaper man of Super ior, Wisconsin, asking him to supply him with Information regarding the place and date of his birth. He de clares he has been told that he was born In Pendleton, Oregon, March 4, 1884, but that his natal day may have been on the 1st 2nd or Srd of that month In that year or In the following year. He states that nis father's name was Albert Holton and that his mother's maiden name was Charlotte Jane. As the county does not keep records of births for more than two years back, Hr. Hendley was unable to supply the desired Information. Several of the oldest physicians In the city were consulted but could not throw any light on the tangle of dates. As the writer must secure the knowl edge In order to correct some Import ant papers, anyone knowing of the secret of his birth will undoubtedly earn the young man's gratitude by forwarding him the facts In the case.
