(Special) Mrs. George Kennedy, wife of a Un ion Pacific passenger brakemr-.n, and daughter of Postmaster and Mrs. T. J. Tweedy, was fatally injured Sun day afternoon when an automobile in which she was a passenger, was strucs by a passenger engine on the O.-W. track at the West Webb street cross ing. She suffered a broken hip, bov ken anklo and compound fracture of the right elbow, in addition to proh uble injuries to the spine and internal injuries which caused her death at th hospital about 10 o'clock Sunday r.ight. Fred Bunn, driver of the car, sus tained two fractured ribs and a bad cut on the head. Anton Gentgcss, who was ruling on the pilot of the engine, was bruised and cut about the face. Neither of the men was seriously hurt. The mnchine, a light runabout, was stripped as neatly as if it had been done by hund. Gentgess, who was least injured, wus pinned beneath the wreck of tho car. The engine was that which brought tho Spokane train to the city and was on its way to tho Y in the rear of the Roundup grounds, rolling along at about 15 miles an hour with Gentgess on the pilot to 'hrow tho switch. The crossing is open for a long distance on either side of th street, tho engino bell wus ringing and tho members of the engine crew mnde every effort t? warn tho nntomobiliuts and avoid the accident. Mrs. Kennedy wns returning from, a visit to Pilot Rock. Her mnchine broko down on the rond and she ac cepted the offer of a ride to town with Mr. Bunn who was on his way to tho city from the Gudarian ranch where ho has been feeding his slock thi3 winter. Neither was able to give coherent account of the cause of the accident and Mr. Bunn is at a loss to account for it. Mrs. Kennedy was raised at Pilot Rock but has lived in Pendleton 'sinc3 she wns about 14. She leaves her par ents nnd one sister, Mrs. Frank Bon ncy of Oakland, Cnl., and her hus bnnd, who is in Wyoming. No funer al nrranbemcnts will be mado until word is received from him.

Chairman Holmes then appointed a nominating committee for the next meeting at which timo the election of 3. G. Roth, M. D., Portland; H. T. Darlington, Portland; E. Portland; D. A. Jones, R. Corbett, Marshneld; (Continued from Page 1.) jiared and can be put in proper shape to receive a hard surface at a cost of $.r00 per mile. There are some stretch es where the cost of grading will lie much more than that but the average cost the state over for preparing theao roads for a hard surface will probab ly not exceed $1500 to $2000 per mile. Nearly all the counties are in shape (to do that without bonding or even in creasing tneir road tax. "Then they add $18,000,000 to this budget by saying that it will cost $12, 000 per mile to improve 1500 miles of post roads, and then say that 600 miles of forest roads will cost $10,000 q Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Kennedy were residents of this citv up to five or six weeks ago. Mr. Kennedy was em ployed ns brnkemnn on the O.-W. R. R. & N. Co., and upon a shortage of help was transferred to Pendleton, where they have mnde their home. per mile, or $6,000,000 more. "These two latter statements fall of their own weight. While many miles of road appear upon the map ns post roads, there are only small sections that require improvement as a post road, and out of the mileage marked forest roads, much is already completed. Therefore their scare lines us to the large cost of improving this road system become merely er roneous and misleading statements. "The facts are that iwith the use officers will take place.

Van- WSITING KNIGHTS ARE ABLE ORATORS M ae Murray In "ON RECORD A Drama of the Aviation Field, Police Court and "400" ARCADE Among the brilliant orations at the Knights of Columbus banquet Sunday, which were omitted on account of lack of space yesterday were those of Mr. A. A. Smith, Past Grand Knight of Baker, nnd Frank J. Lonergan, Dis trict Deputy, of Portland. Mr. Smith had been heard before in I,n Grande on the occasion of the patriotic celebration at the Mer chants' luncheon and his reputation ns an orator was well known. Mr. Smith took occasion to refer to the prevalence of atheism, and declared tnnt no one could travel over lull or dale, over mountains and valleys, see. tho gram and tho trees, the flowers nnd the birds nnd in a calm, sober, sensible mind deny the existence of tho Deity. Mr. Smith declared that tho Knights belonged to the oldest generation of the day, one that had survived tho shocks of centuries and had witnessed the rise and fall of many nations. He said that the peo ple of today had a duty to' God and a , duty to country, and that manhood i and womanhood would be measured by , their fulfilling their duty to both. I Patriotism, ho declared was the I noblest quality and he expressed the ' hope and the firm belief that the peo ple of America would measure up to ! their duties and responsibilities. I Frank J. lonergan is also a spir ; ited orator, and he delivered an ex leellent oration upon the present day problems. He declared that tho enemies of the country were the forces of anarchy which were attacking the vitals of the land.
