Mr.' Oppenheinier savs. among other tilings, that '-Pendleton is the best, town between San Francisco and Boise, but she is a dead one at the' present time. People who gamble are apparently going somewhere else to spend their money, judgine ; from the conditions of trade.

Of conrse. each one admits that the gam blers spend more or less money in the town, and if they are not allowed to remain here and ply their trade they will go to some other place. This is very true, but one business man advances the idea that the gam bler is not a producer and that the money he spends is here anyway, and very little is brought in by him that it makes little difference warrants were issued are: John Smails.

If, as Mr. Oppenheirii ' er says, the gamblers are spending their money in other towns, the bus 1 iness of Pendleton for the present , month would have been a record- breaker had they spent their money ' with Pendleton business men, for as said above, they all. witli few excop j tions. say their business is better than last year for this month and will , compare favorably with the business j of last month. As to closing the games killing the , town, every merchant seen merely ' laughed at Mr. Oppenheimer's re-' ' mark and said the proposition was ' ' not worth considering. Following is what Mr. Robbins, ' proprietor of the Owl Tea House, has ' to say in regard to the facts as he ' sees them: j "There is a difference of at least j $150 in my business over the same month last year. That is, I have i taken in ?150 more up to this time i than I did during the same time in j the same month of last year, and the shutting down of gambling would have affected my trade if any one's, for I sold gasoline and mantels to the gamblers to keep them In lights. . But to take It all in all, I do not be-; lleve that any general merchandise or grocery store has been affected one way or the other by the stopping t of gambling."

Senator Mitchell gave notice of aj number of amendments he proposes to offer to the river and harbor bill, unless the house inserts the various items before the measure comes to j the senate.
