Of Al Walks in Life See Rosy Fu ture tor City SENTIMENT STRONG FOR ADVANCEMENT AND PROGRESS Same Spirit Being; MuiilfcMt by All "Pronpccts Brighter and Hotter Tluin Ever" "Greater Prowix-rlty Right Now Tliuii for a Long Time" "I Don't Feel Prospecta Are Bet ter, I Know It." Tlio spirit of optimism la abroad In tho cliy and before It all obstacles and impediments In the march of progroFs melt and vanish Into thin air. This single sentence epitomizes the situation in Pendleton as gath ered from tho expressions of promi nent business men. From ono end of thu main strectsto tho other, irom big merchant and little, from banker and bootblack, from city dweller and farmer, there comes but one answer to the question, "How's everything with you?" Fveryono is satisfied with the conditioi.s and prospects which confront the city and it is not their words alone that reflects this eatis factlon but It is shown In their bear ing, their manner and their cheerful smile. The voting of the high school bonds indicated indubitably what a few knew, what many believed and what nearly all fervently Imped, namely, that the sentiment of tho people of Pendleton Is for progress and ad vancement and that there exists a faith In this community and a will ingness t work together for the Im provement of commercial, social and I moral conditions. i n..H,,( I lrllil. I Acting upon till.' uc nl'.l '11 tile re- j cent elect loii gave, a representative of the East (Mogonlan tills morning walked up and down Main street stopping at the varaus plac of bus iness and asked each man what he thoulit of til..- business outlooK for Pendleton. Without a single excep tion the answer was "The best In years," and each man spoke enthusi astically of the situation here. A few of the many expressions are given I here. As might be expected, Attorney Dan p. Smylhc, president of tho Commercial association, was eloquent in his praise of Pendleton and Uma tilla coiuuy. "You may say for me." he said, "that the prospects here are brighter and better than they have been for years. Pendleton and Uma tilla county have safely embarked npi 11 the yea of prosperity. Every thing ,1s opening up fine and much better than anyone anticipated. Dur ing the next year there wlli be a:i enormous amount of in m y expend ed In th's city and community and it Is needless to siy thai everyone will derive some benefit. The branch asy lum Is to be built, n high school, n chiir.il nr.. I a federal budding to be con; U uc'e.l u gravity water !. in to be put In. a Mi 11 street bridge to be built ami a Houudup stadium con structed. These are but s"ine of the larger Improvt mcnts which are cer tain and tlicro nro many more wnich will follow. "Hut," concluded Mr. Smythe, "tho business men should not go to sleep now. There ,1s much yet to bo ac complished. Actions speak louder than words. With a united and con scientious effort, there Is no season why Pendleton can not take a big step forward In tho next year." Merchants Enthusiastic. H. Alexander of tho Alexander de partment store, was most enthusiastic- in speaking of the business situa tion. "My business shows and I know that of tho othor merchants does likewise," ho said, "that Pendle ton has a greater prosperity , right now than has been hers for a long time. I believe that tho voting of JACK JOHNSON OES TO JAIL ' San Francisco, Calif., March 25. Johnson, the pugilist ne gro, was sentenced to twenty five days in tho county Jail to day in police court for auto speeding. The sentence follows a number of arrests for fast driving. Johnson was not In court. In sontenclng Johnson, Judge Trcadwell gave no alternative but Jul!, despite the strong in fluence brought to bear on tho Judgo to let the fighter off with a flno. Johnson Immediately started to hunt for a superior Judge but the courts wore clos ed and it looks like he will spend the night In jail. M . M . ... Timoi Donus lnursuny is tne jj? At In the new upward march city and county and that be- ' Sho year has closed, many morej .S will have been taken." i Leon Cohen of tho Peoples Ware- House: "I don't feel that prospects' are better than thev hnva tm.n for! years, I know it. I know that the merchants and business men of Pen dleton are doing more business right I now than they have for a number of j years and such a condition Is signifi cant." 1 J. II. Gwlnn, secretary of the Cred it Men's association, also stated that he considered tbe outlook brighter than for a number of years. "We are going to .have a bumper crop this year," he said, "and there Is to be a great amount of money expended In public Improvements this year. But what Is better than all Is the fact that the business men of Pendleton have at last come to realize the ad vantage of harmony and united ac tion. They are all pulling together now and they are going to land some thing." Real Estate Men Have Faith. Lee Teutsch, the well known real estate man, stated that the outlook appeared better to him than It has for the past fifteen years. "I have unbounded faith In Pendleton and Umatilla county," he said, "and noth ing could Induce me to make any other locality In the northwest my home. There are opportunities here for thousands and the people afe just beginning to realize it." , City Recorder Thomas' Fitz Cerald has lived In Pendleton elnce 1S81 and he stated this morning that never, In all the time since then, has the out look seemed brighter to him tnan it docs now.

Miss tiladys llamley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. llamley of 603 Raley street, and n popular member of last year's high school graduating class, is the latest object of his attack, having been seized by the miscreant at the corner of Jackson and Logan streets about S:30 last evening. Fortunately, though small of stature. Miss Ham ley is possessed of more than ordinary strength and she was able to fight off her assailant before he had a chance to stiffle her screams. Earlier in the evening- Miss Ham ley had started for the high school athletic carnival and when that event was postponed she started on her re turn homo. Girl companions ac companied her across tho Main street bridge to the Christian church and wanted to go on homo with her but she assured them that she was accus- trmed to making tho trip alone, that tho street was well lighted and that she was not In tho least afraid. About the time she reached the cor ner of Bush and Jackson street? she thought she noticed someone on the walk n block ahead of her, but as this was nothing unusual she paid no particular attention. Looking up a moment later she saw no one and decided she must bave been mistak en. When just In front of the house on tho corner of the street occupied by Mrs. Warren and sonv; ot tho local lenchers, the man suddenly appeared In front, walking toward ber.

In this he was not puecessful, how ever, for she grabbed his hand and hu out a series of piercing screams which sent the fellow on the run across the street toward the Johns residence, formerly Koontz hall. Though nearly prostrated by the fr ght, Miss llamley managed to cov er the remaining three blocks to her home. When she arrived there she was nearly hysterical and it was sev eral minutes before she was able to make her father understand wdiat had happened. The police were immediately noti ced by phone and left for the scene on the run. Mr. Hamlcy, Attorney .T. P. Winter nn.I Lester Hamlcy, a brother of the young lady, also took up the chase, but though the north side of the river was thoroughly scoured and though the bridge was watched all night the miscreant was not found. Owing to the suddenness with which the man appeared and the briefness of her struggle with him. Miss Ham lcy was unable to give the officers any description which would aid them In their search. She says lie did not appear to be very tall pnd could not say whether or not ho wore a hat or a cap but she is under the Impression that ho had n short stubby beard. She also says tho hand he tried to place over her mouth seemed to be cov ered with a mitten and the theory Is advanced that he carried a gag of tvme sort. The citizens of the entire city avo now thoroughly aroused and If the feiicw is caught it will fl'ircly go Inn' with him. Enraged Insane Man Sliootx Guard and a Bartender. Des Moines, Iowa, March 25.
