LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER, LA GRANDE, ORE. Oakland PENDLETON CHIEF CUTS BO'S HAIR PENDLETON (Special) "I've had a lot of -things happen to me but the queerest thing I've ever heard of is having the chief of police cut my hair." Chief of Police C. E. Lemons pick ed a cinder out of his clippers and looked at the speaker, Walter Car men. 27, whom he arrested for going around to various houses In town and asking for a nickel or a dime so he could get a hair cut. "You look much better now," he said, "go take a hot shower and shave yourself." Carmen, a transient who police say was told to get out of La Grande because he 'was working the same racket there of asking for money to get a hair cut, had (before being shorn) hair reaching to his shoulders and sticking out all over so that- he looked like Buffalo Bill. The chief, who formerly held a state barber's license, cut off enough of Carmen's hair to equal a fleece from a yearl ing sheep.- Housewives whom Carmen had asked for money were frightened at hi wild appearance and notified Chief Lemons, w3io decided ..that Carmen would get a hair cut even if he didn't have any money. He took him down to the police station, set him on a barrel and clipped away for an hour before he was satisfied that enough hirsute adorn ment had been removed. The Job was made harder because of the cln- ders which clogged the clippers. Carmen then took a hot shower and shaved. He went away satisfied, saying that he felt like a new man. However, other transients are advised that the chief will not make a prac tice of cutting hair. Washington First To Own An Oil Well George Washington was not only the father of his country, but one of the first. If not the very first oil well owner of record in these United States. This Interesting fact was revealed by M- D. Leh, Oregon division man ager of General Petroleum corpora tion, producers and marketers the new General Four -Star gasoline. Quoting as his authority a survey made by .the American Petroleum In stitute, Leh stated that when the first president, In company with Gen eral Lewis, visited the wilds of West ern Pennsylvania in 1753, he learned from the Indians of the existence of a flowing petroleum spring. Recognizing Its potential industrial importance even In those early days, George Washington acquired the spring and valuable oil -bearing -lands In the vicinity. In his will he wrote: "This tract was taken up by Gen eral Lewis and myself on account of the bituminous spring which 11 con tains, or so Inflammable a nature as to burn as freely as spirits and is as nearly' difficult to extlngii." He listed it as his most valuable land holding. IRIG STOKKS OPEN 1 O'CLOCK Sunday time of opening and clos ing of La Grande drug stores has been changed to open at 1 o'clock and close at 6.

Surgeon Dies But Delicate Surgery Is Not Stopped NEW YORK (P) Suppose that during a delicate surgical operation. the surgeon should die? Arnold Javltz, seven years old and a sufferer from spinal meingltls, was taken to the operating room of the Park East hospital. His condition was grave and the operation a deli cate one. It involved the extraction of a fluid from the spinal column. Present.'ln addition to nurses, were Doctors Arthur Shifrln, Aaron Goldf- blatt and Michael Misllg. Dr. Goldblatt administered the anaesthetic. Dr. Shifrln handled the needle. Dr. Misllg held the tube into which the fluid was drawn. The needle had been inserted. The operation was under way. Seconds were precious. , Dr. Misllg staggered. He clutched his breast, and whisperedi: 'My heart I" A nurse caught him as he started to fall. His weight was too great. Both dropped to the floor. On the operating table, unconsci ous from the anaesthetic, lay a boy critically ill. Beside the table, on the floor, lay the 68-year-old surgeon who had been taking part in the operation. The hands of the surgeon holding the needle continued to move surely. The medical skill of the other doctor concentrated on the patient's reac tion to the anaesthetic. A nurse functioned smoothly, expertly. At last it was done. And it was pronounced successful. When the two surgeons bent over Dr. Misllg, joining others who had been summoned, they found him dead. WOOL REPORT BOSTON, June 1 OP) The Com merclol Bulletin said today: "Demand for wool has been of fair proportions, everything considered this week.

There Is reluctance on the part of the manufacturer for the time belntr to quote far ahead, on ac count of the new processing taxes aQi the question of labor costs in the matter of wages and working hours. "The new clip is well cleared from the west. except for some wools which are held at prices that dealers now consider prohibitive.
