Sweeping Order From Executive of

able Section of Wheat Town Order
Works Successfully,
What has always been considered
the impossible has practically hap
pened, says the East Oregonlan.' Pen
dleton's tenderloin district has all but
Veen wiped out. The drastic order of
Mayor Murphy, Issued one week ago
this morning, .has had a better and
more far-reaching effect than , the
mayor or any of the council men
dreamed that It would have when
made.
The order was to the effect that all
women occupying the row of one-story
shacks on Cottonwood street between
Alta and Webb streets, and those oc
cupying the ground floors of the two
story buildings should be required to
move out. Also that the lattice work
In front of these buildings should be
torn out and that the rooms on the
ground floors' of the two-story build
ings must be torn out so thoy could no
longer be used for bawdy house pur
poses. m
While It was hoped that this order
would have' the effect of causing some
of the denizens of this part of town to
seek locations elsewhere, it was sup
posed that the most of them would
find accommodations oh, the second
floors of the two-story buildings In
that neighborhood.. Such does not
seem to have been the case, however,
for large numbers of them have been
seen to leave the city on recent trains
and It was announced by Chief of Po
lice Gurdane this afternoon that all
but four of themhad left town alto
gether.

THE START
The rain and dlsaRroenWe weather
prevalent the past two days has de
layed the starting of the sugar fac
tory. Just how many days will elapse
before the wheels are set In motion,
o be kept going until the entire, crop
f sugar beets Is cut, Is not known.
thouKh It U bellevd and hoped that
he factory will start Tuesday or Wed
nesday of next week. The reason for
he delay Is that the rains have hin
dered the pulling and hauling of beets
n the field. The factory will not
oinmence operation until a sufficient
supply of beets Is ut hand to keep the
rew at work continuously until the
work In done.
The opening day of smar making
will have no effect on the listing of
the men, for the officials announce
that the advertised event will take
place tomorrow afternoon. AH em
ployes will report at the office at 2
o'clock or after and be placed In
either of the two shifts.
