TONIGHT
Pendleton, May 1. (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.

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

"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.

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. He urged steadfast and loyal
support to the President and the na
tion, as had already been so willingly
given, and commented upon tho pride
(of this bond money for hard surface, derzanden, Banks; Delegates to M. W.
