This caused a break, but now all the clothing, dry goods and shoe stores have signed the agree ment which goes Into effect the first S1 the year and will last throughout January. February and March. The time limit was put on the clos ing movement to give the merchants a chance to see how the early clos ing would work. If satisfied at the end of the first three months, the movement will be continued. All the grocery stores have not signed the early closing agreement, but it is expected that most of them will close. Some have signs in their windows announcing that they would close at 6:30. but whether all will close at this time or not is not known. era tor and since that time has been ticket agent Mr. Hallock came to Pendleton nine years ago.
