Below are published a few Items
picked up at random from one Issue
of a Pendleton paper, and shows that
the dark duys prophesied for that
community by certain Interests should
prohibition carry, are far from being
of the huo they were painted before
election. Should any one doubt their
truthfulness they are Invited to write
to those whose name appear or the
mayors of the cltlee mentioned.
C. 8. Terpennlng has let the contract
to L. Dunlnp for the erection of a
modern dwelling; to cost In the neigh
borhood of 12500. and to he located
St tl Tusttn street, Pendleton.
A new city hall to cost" 135,000 Is
now In the course of construction.
A 170.000 federal building Is now
8 certainty.
The Pendleton Wool Scouring plnnt
. baa opened with a rush, the entire
plant running iilnht and dny.
Negotiations lire about completed
by the Racine Woolen mills, company
for the- purchase of ''the Pendleton
Woolen mills, which 'they will' ranks'"
their western headquarters, expecting
to employ 'JOO skilled' operatives In."
eluding a. large clerical force.
E. J. Murphy of Portland has pur
chased several alfalfa crops, leased
much land and will Install a 120,000
alfalfa meal plant at Echo.
The Henrietta flouring mills at the
same place are to be opened up and
J-un tp full capacity.
' In Jus! the time 1t took a committee
' to call on 44 business men, $830 was
subscribed to aid the Pendleton base
' ball tean. The list was headed by
s-Hayor W. F. Matlock, owner of
the Motel Pendleton building, In which
saloon la located, who subscribed
sn even f 100.
Negotiations for the location of a
broom factory at Pendleton are now
under way, which heretofore was Im
possible owing to the excessively high
rents. It will (rente a home market
for the excellent broom corn raised In
the Athena and Freewater districts.
The Pendleton Auto company has
Just purchased a carload of auto for
Umatilla county trade.
The school board Is now having
erected a new lr.;a fence to surround

1 The surveys being made and rights
'of way secured for electric line from
Milton In the eastern part of the coun
ty, and Echo and llcrmtston In the
'western part of thu county, with Pen
dleton as the terminus, have, not been
discontinued., !'''. '
A few other Industries, now In em
bryo, could be cited, but the above
are sufficient for the purposes of (his
article. -
Put that Is not a'l. I:
Immediately after the result of
the election became known, a party of
Pendleton's leading business men,
started on a tour of the county to
.solicit funds for the advertising of the
entire county, and at every . stop
were enthusiastically greeted and the
first town or city Is yet to be heard
from which will not subscribe lo the
fund for a greater Umatilla.
That the Indomitable "Pendleton
spirit" which has characterised the
forward march of that city and made
? the name Pendleton synonymous with
all that goes to make a bilatllng city.
Is grain manifesting Itself In this
i'V trie as Its progressive business men
have, met all other crises In the. past,
ahuws the calibre of Its people' aof!
and a display "of 'tortluido equalled In
very few cither places having the lim
ited rc.i'MD'cetf" Immediately surround
ing thw city , and the keen competi
tion with other 'cities, ''as Pendleton has
with Walla. Walla, to hold"" her pres
tige s a distributing point.
, That her people believe and the
people, of the entire county, for that
matter that. In the words of another,
they must ' "hang together or har.g
separately." In manifest, and that they
do not Jntend to hang separately Is a
foregone conclusion. ;
'A better exemplification of the
"Spirit of the Golden West" and of
progress as exhibited by Pendleton Is
foreign to a greater portion of the
communities of the northwest. Tou
simply can't make her lay down. "
Whether this spirit Is worthy of
emulation or not each reader can decide-tor
himself. ,. (

The recent conference of governors
has brought out strikingly the fright

sources that Is going on In every dl-

one reason why he favored woman

OLD PEOPLE IIVKT.
"GraiKlpa" and "Grandma" Matxon
'. lluve TtuiutMsy. ' ,
Mr, and Mrs. Matson, known . to
their friends as "grandpa" and "grand
ma," who live up near Morgan lake,
while' driving to town last Saturday,
met with an accident which, while not
very serious In Its. effects, might
easily' have resulted In dlsaster.
Whlla coming down the hill the
team became frightened and ran away
overturning the buggy, and spilling
the old people jjut. Mr. Matson brave
ly held onto the lines and stopped the
team. Mrs. Mallory, a neighbor, com
ing along . soon, took , the el
derly lady Into hej rig and brought
her on to the home of lie r son. Mat
Matson.- The old folks were consider
ably bidTSed. but no serious results of
their adventure ase anticipated., ' ;
