TAMP OSBORN ARRESTED
AS PENDLETON GAMBLER
"Tamp" Osborn, well known In
the baseball world as a veteran pitch
er, now under suspension, was ar
rested last night on a charge of con
ducting a gambling game In one of
the local hotels. He was this morn
ing arraigned, waived preliminary
hearing and win bound over to the
grand Jury under $000 bonds. Fall
ing to secure the bonds he Is behind
the bars of the county jail.
It Is said Osborn sold Imitation
Elk teeth just before the Elks' con
vention, says a dispatch from F'endle-ton.
Apples in Storage.
There are said to be 100,000 boxes
of apples In cold storage In San
Francisco that would have been
sent to England but for the great
coal and dock strike. Had they been
sent at the proper time they would
have rotted on shipboard liecause
they could not have been unloaded.
This condition of things will entail a
heavy loss upon the owners of these
apples for which there Is no redrew.
How far reaching are such (Disturb
ances. How true Is the saying In
the Scripture that "No one lives to
himself."
BITULITHIC CHOSEN
FOR LEBANON STREETS
At an adjourned meeting of the
city council, the bids for the paving
of a mile of Ix-banon streets was
awarded to the Federal Construction
Co.. says the Oregoulan
There was an usually large num
ber of bidders for the work here and
for a large variety of paving.
After thorough investigation of nil
the different kinds of pavement the
council adopted the bltullthlc.
One of the leading Inducements for
the selection of this kind was the re
markable record for durability It Is
making elsewhere.
The area to be paved Is a little
more than ilo.Ooo sijuare yards und
the completed work. Including curbs
and drainage, makes the total cost
of public Improvements for the city
for this year exceed $112 000.
