Taklna breakfast quickly on Tuea

As the lines were approached, th
steady reverberation of icuns signalled
great activity of the artillery. Thl
as confirmed when on arrival It wa

Indeed the firing was sn active as to
cause the Oeneral considerable appre

Secretary Tumulty told the diners

Democracy of this new day.
"These principles, he said, represent
the outpourings of the heart of one of
the greatest leaders of Democratic
forces In the world at this time a
leader whose moral weight and influ-

Europe as It Is In the councils of the
lemocratic hosts in our own country.

an old advocate of the other site was
elected Judge on a pledge to the peo
ple, however, that the Hot Springs
Courthouse would be completed.
Following hla election, however, no
move was made t continue the work
and the building has stood exposed to
weather co'ndittons since that time.
Some cracks have developed, the seri
ousness of which different architects
employed by the court this Winter,
have given widely varying reports.
Rids have been submitted for the com
pletion which varied from IIK.ono for
completion on modified specifications,
up to more than t:n".00 for tbe origin
al specifications.
Rids Are railed For.
I-at month at a stormy meelng the
court decided to advertise for bids for
the completion of the building on the
Hot Springs site and the erection of a
new building on the rite of the old
structure now In use. The winning
firm today bid Sl'7.000 for the com
pletion of tbe building on the Hot
Springs site.
Commissioner Short has stood firmly
with the opposing faction throughout
the controversy alleging that the duty
of the court was plain to complete the
building on the site chosen by vote of
the people and deploring the absolute
waste of S1S0.OOQ of the taxpayers
money aa m ill be the case If the build
ing on tbe Hot Springs site la uncom
pleted and abandoned.
On the other hand Judge Hanks
contends that to complete the Hot
Sprlogs structure would cost more than
to build an entirely new building. He
supports his view-by showing that the
bed for completing the Hot Springs
building was 1 1 ST. 000 aa compared with
S12!.??i bed for constructing a new
courthouse.
The new contract signed today au
thorises a commission of per cent
of the cost of the building tu tbe con-
will show. Fourteen of the sweaters
which have been sent away by tho
chapter axe the work of men of Pen
dlnton. D. B. Snyder, Pendleton insur-
ance man, is first with four to his
credit; J. H. Smith has turned in three,
J. H. Gault and George Flagman, two
