Mrs. Barnett Is proud of her daughter. She is positive that- her daughter's trouble -with Pierre Tar toue, her artist husband of note, was his fault, and that Madame Tartoue is still a good daughter. Adopted Mother Praised. A telegram conveying the infor mation from daughter to mother was shown and Mrs. Barnett stated that she was glad that Madame Tar toue had this home. "I have known these good French people for. some years, and know that everything is all right," she said. She displayed no regret that her daughter now has an adopted mother.

TalcntM Aid Service Men. Madame Tartoue was a star in the colonial ball staged in N'ew York in July, 1918, for the benefit of the blinded soldiers and sailors of the allies.

"We are Pem'Ieton -folk and Claudia is a Pendleton ?irl." said Mrs. Barnettv '"We have been in this part of the eountry for 20 years and Claudia was born here and educated in the local schools. Certainly the new countess is . a Pendletonian." A year ago Mrs. Barnett went to New York to attend Madame Tar toue, who was seriously ill in that city. Here she saw the famous tar pialeE, Madame Tartoue's tropical birds from South America. It was during the visit of Mrs. Barnett to N'ew York that Pierre Tartoue slipped into Pendleton and while pretending to.be interesUed in painting .1 portrait of the late Til Taylor, was secretly gathering in formation with vhk-h to fight his wife's divorce suit. Although no statement has been made, it is un derstood that Madame Tartoue got . her divorce. Adoption Hnn Approval. "I do not regret that my daughter has been adopted by this. French noblewoman, because she has writ ten and expressed the deep feeling which she had for my daughter, ow ing to a striking likeness to a daughter of her own who died. As long as Claudia is fulfilling this -place 1 am happy," Mrs. Barnett said. . Pendleton has become quite ex cited over the fact that one of its daughters has been made a French countess. REFUNDING PLAN ILLEGAL CITY WITHOUT POWER TO DEAL , WITH SYNDICATE. Charter Amendment Is Declared Necessary Before Action Is Possible. In a letter to. City Auditor Funk yesterday Guy H. C. Corliss and Frank J. Streibig Jr., representatives of the Investors Syndicate, admitted that the city of Portland has no power to invest sinki-ng fund money in bonds of the syndicate. The tet ter stated that scrutiiny of city charter and ordinance provisions with City Attorney Grant disclosed no section under which the proposed refinancing of municipal bond is sues may be carried through.

W. McCulloch and W. H. Doolittle of Ontario,- who with "William Hanley of Burns have-started on a tour of the Willamette valley to create sentiment for the construction of a railroad which -will link western with southeastern Oregon. These men represent the Central Oregon Developmt-nt league, which has as its chief purpose the con struction of a railroad - which will connect with Ontario, Burns and other points such as Lakeview with a line directly through The state to the end of the so-called Natron cut-off. . - ' "We are not fighting the battle of the Southern Pacific or the Union Pacific in their controversy over the ownership of the Central Pacific," declared Mr. McCulloch yesterday, "but we do want t arouse the in terest of the people in our section of the state, which is now .suffering greatly through the lack of proper railroad facilities. , i .

Who is the .mermaid posing like a siren on a Pacific beach- rock and beckoning to the wild and tame tourists, alike to come and play "splash" with her who adorns the cover of Hoquiam's m)w famous latest tourist booster booklet? Many have asked this question, and from all quarters of the north west country. but F. W. Mathias, secretary of the HoTjuiam Com-: mercial club, who induced the mysterious woman to let her. pic ture decorate his book, under a promise of silence, will not tell no, even .though his scant hairs grow grayer and fewer from the, insistence of curious males. Mr. Mathias has admited that the unidentified bathing beauty is an 'American Lake girl, but more than this he will jiot say. - .- I I' tion of the railroad we advocate." The representatives of the Central Oregon Ievelopment league will s-pend several days visiting towns of the Willamette, valley with the idea of interesting- civic bodies in their cause. ' - Recently they wrote to George E. Chamberlain, ex-senator, and sought his aid' in-their project. He made the following reply: , . '; "Some little time - before the. last era of. railroad construction in Ore gon was in progress I joined with others interested in the development of the state in an effort -to obtain, construction into central and south ern Oregon. "The Union Pacific was in control of the Southern Pacific andi of the O. R. & N., and finally proceeded with construction across the state from. Natron, near Eugene, to On tario. The work was stopped when it lost control of the Southern' Pa cific. "The decision of the supreme court in the recent ease of the United States against the Southern Pacific and the Central Pacific seemingly presents possibilities of competitive railroad operation in western Ore 1 gon. where vast quantities of east j bound. tonnage originate, that should be available to support a line across i thp StfltA "We note the appeal of your or ganization to the communities in the state served by railroads for assistance in obtaining railroad con struction in central Oregon, and am sure the people will co-operate with your organization as they, study the possibilities and appreciate the benefits that will result to the en tire state if the work that stopped in 1912 may be taken up and car ried on. "Commercially and socially central and southern Oregon are not a part of our state. The shippers and busi ness men of the state should1 be able to so control the tonnage originat ing here . whereby this condition may be corrected. There would seem to be, no reason preventing the efficient and successful opera tion by both-- the Central Pacific and the Southern Pacific in west ern Oregon, whereby, as the supreme court says, 'each company will be able fneely to compete "with the otherto serve the public efficiently.' "If this competition may be brought about and the eastbound tonnage in western Oregon made available to the line across the state, its completion should follow and a general state development ensue. I believe and sincerely hope that the worthy efforts of your league will find sympathetic response through out the state and that its objects will be accomplished." - . .Rail Unmerging to Be Urged.

LEGION POST IS DEFIANT Mayor Carries Fight Into Pool ' Rooms and Now He Is Sued for Alleged False Arrest. TACOMA, Wash., July 29. (Spe cial.) A big row is on in Sumner, Wash., center of the most extensive berry-raising district in the United States. - It threatens to overshadow the United States senatorial campaign and make the battle over the league of nations look like a slow game of authors. " . It started this way: The Lewis-Guill post, American Legion, of Sumner held a number of street dances last year. It even in vited the legionnaires of Puyallup for street dances in Puyallup were banned to take part. Big crowds of Puyallup folk accepted, the invi tation. Dance Develop Opposition.. The Sumner legion post started right out holding street dances this year. . - But many, many of the people of Sumner are tonvinced that danefhg is the broad, high road to the well- known lake of brimstone and fire, where little devils with spear headed tails poke the flames and make the sinful scream. Hence, the legionnaires met opposition. The legion men got an injunction against the mayor and went right ahead. The case is set for hearing some time, when everybody gets around to it and the lawyers are read4" League to Combat Dances. Then the anti-dance folk, strong in the belief that they are right, met Thursday night in the Sumner city hall and organized the law en forcement league of Sumner. It elected'Rev. George Maness as pres ident. It annoiwced it will stand by Mayor Judd to prevent any more street dances being given. So both sides are going into the We offer pianos of discontinued styles fully guaranteed' Any of these instru ments can be had with small payment down, balance pay able in easy install ments covering a brdad period of time courts to fight out this danca busi ness. There's another angle v to the fight. Mayor Judd started out briskly to keep the "minors out of the poolhalls. Right away he hit a snag. ' The boys said they went into the barber shops, not the poolrooms. Didn't they need their hair cut just like the older boys? The barber shops were located in the poolrooms, however, so Mayor Judd ordered the boys to stay right out of the barber shops, too. C. L. Duckworth, poolroom and barber shop proprietor, began to build a partition to shut his barber shop off from. h space where the terrible, devilish game of pool was played. And Mayor Judd- had him arrested because he didn't have a building permit. Duckworth burned up the paving looking for a lawyer, and now he's suing Mayor Judd for J5000, for the mayor slammed Duck worth right into the Jail and kept him there for 20 minutes. Duck worth alleged his reputation, feel ings and- everything ha.ve been ex ceedingly damaged. And Mayor Judd says it's absurd.

Ada county will be In favor of the primary three to on and will send an in structed delegation' to the conven tion favoring a primary plank in the republican platform. "Without doubt," asserted one of the leaders today, "the republican platform will carry a strong primary plank and even those wh are against a primary will not dare to oppose it, as there will be such a majority favorable to such a pro gressive movement." Dark Horses In Field. Charles- C. Moore of Fremont county still is the only announced candidate for the gubernatorial hon ors, but two dark horses lurk in the field and as most of the delegates to the state convention will be unin structed, it is possible that a dark horse may be nominated. John D. Robertson, tax commissioner of Idaho, is one of the men mentioned for the nomination although he has announced himself in favor of Mr. Moore. H. C. Baldridge, a candidate for lieutenant-governor and a strong progressive, is mentioned to head the ticket. Mr. aaldriage is an lm plement dealer of Parma, Canyon county. The fact that Daniel w.

Claims are made by Alexander followers that Mr. Morgan will not get the solid north, as several coun ties in the Panhandle will- send in structed " delegates for Mr. Alex ander and that his following in the southeast and south will give him the nomination on the first ballot and it will then be made 'by accla mation. Both parties will hold primary elections Tuesday to select dele gates to the county conventions, which will-nominate- a county ticket and name delegates to the state conventions.
