A special dispatch to the East Ore gonian from Portland states that La mont has admitted spending the money and having a good time. "George Lamont entered my employ last JInrch," said Jlr. Irwin this after noon, "but previous to bis coming to Pendleton I know nothing of tho man. Ho was an expert candymaker and I liad explicit confidence in him. About three weeks ago ho went to Portland on a vacation and while there I sent him $700 with which to purchase goods for tho store. "Wo had had an agreement that lo was to do this before he left, but when the goods failed to arrive I be gan an investigation which led me to secure a warrant lor his arrest. "He has broken his agreement with me and I feel able to prove that tho ?700 I sent him was not intended to be used for the satisfaction of his personal desires." Sheriff Taylor departed for Port land with n warrant charging Lamont with obtaining money under falso pre tenses, last night. The man was easi ly located by tho aid of tho Portland officers and taken into custody. RESIDENCE DAMAGED. Fire Caused a Loss of $700 to W. S. Atchlnson's Home.

Fred Howard, of W..lla Walla, Is dead in that city after an illness ex tending over a year. Tho funeral will take place tomorrow under tho auspices of tho B. P. O. E. and tho Odd Fellows, of which lodges tho de ceased was a prominent member. Fred Howard was a brother of A. G. Howard, of this city. Ho had re sided In Walla Walla for soveral years and was one of the most prom inent young men of tho Garden City. Ho was a druggist by profession. Death was duo to necrosis of tho hone. Tho spinal vertobrao was af fected and for more than 12 months tho patient was confined to his bed or a wheel chair. A Pendleton man who recently vis ited North Yakima said to tho East Oregonlan today: "North Yakima Is doubtless 'all right,' In fact many Umatilla county people know that it is a flno town, full of business nnd flno people, hut It has Its griefs for thoso who go there and do not stay long enough to become habituated to certain short comings, which shortcomings aro pe culiarly harrowing to a person used to the' limpid waters, cooling shades and germ-proof healthfulncsa of Pen dleton. "People capable of judging disinter estedly, but who do not caro to 'got It in the neck' when thoy make their next regular trip to that city, declare that It Is, nt this time of tho year at least, nnythlng but a dream of para dise. "Tho water is warm and has the usual Irrigation ditch flavor, and is accredited with an epidemic form of typhoid which prevails -there to a certain extent. Thoro wero 18 deaths In one week in North Yakima and tho Immediate vicinity recently, and ma laria and typuoid are painfully com mon. 'The soil is the most Irritating form of alkali that over went unwatered, and whero it Is not Irrigated, tho city Is a desolate waste. Tho proportion of people who cannot afford to have their premises irrigated is said to be very large for tho size of tho town, with the Inevitable result that the place looks unkempt and desolate In the last degr.ee. over a large part of Its area. "During a portion of the past three weeks the temperaturo stood nt -115 degrees in the shade throughout tho middle of tho day, tho natural heat of the sun being accentuated by tho whiteness of the soil nnd the lack of shade. " 'The other sido' of tho Yakima fruit is that it Is over-stimulated In an effort to get a largo growth, which re sults in fruit that has no lasting qualities. It Is stated that almost any large, finely colored applo raised there can be crushed by a good grasp In ono hand, nnd tho flavor is equal ly 'mushy' with the texture. "Kvcn Yaklmans admit that sooner or later the city will bo compelled to pipo water for household purposes from tho mountains in tho event that artesian water cannot bo found at great depths that is of a suitable quality. "Tho hotel accommodations aro very ordinary, while tho only restau rant in tho placo Is run by a China man who looked scared when a cus tomer asked for a porterhouse steak." ing to leave tho stale to escape pay ment of his Just debts. In his argument this morning Jlr. Lowell declnr.ed tho arrest of a per son In a civil action was'a last rosort nnd that In tho motion of the plaintiff In tho Wnrd caso did not sot forth facts sufflelont to show that Itnlph Wnrd was not nblo to pay tho nmotmt of tho Indebtedness charged against him, or that property now nttnihed was nmplo to cover his obligations. Ward has been conducting a confoc tlonory store In Main street, in prop erty owned by Miss Mnrshall. Sho alleges he has failed to pay rent. Whon action waB brought to attach tho stnro Ward went to Walla Walla. Thoro ho mortgaged property to the .extent of $1,000. According to nn affidavit of G. M. nice, cashier of tho First National bank, Wnrd drow deposits to tho ex tent of $300 from tho bank, nnd de clared to tho cashier that ho did not intend that It should bp used to pay debts. Tho order for Ward's arrest was then secured nnd when ho re turned from Walla Walla ho was ta ken Into custody by tho sheriff. He furnished hnll of $500. HOME FROM WALLOWA. S. R. Thompson and Party Enjoyed Outing at the Lake. Jlr. and Jim. S. U. Thompson, Har ry Thompson, JIIss Ethel Johnson nnd Jtlas Ethel Leisure returned yester day from a two weeks' outing at Wal lowa lake. "Fishing nnd hunting nre very good In tho Wallowa country this Rumnior," said Jlr. Thompson, "but there are not qulto as many campers at the lake this year as thoro have been In tli.o past. "Wnllowa lako is an ideal placo for n summer outing. Tho mountain scen ery Is something grand, the weather Is always cool and tho big lako Is an excellent place for boating and fishing." Correction. In the article in yesterday after noon's paper nbout tho order to dip sheep, a slight error appeared. The statement wns made that tho value of sheep subjected to this order was de preciated to tho purchasers of orders contracted for but not yet filled, "25 per cent per head. it should havo head "25 cents per bond." As will bo seen at a glance, the dlffer.enco be tween the two oxprsslons amounts to 15 cents on an animal which cost $1,110. TIMOTHY WA8 FR08TED.

PENDLETON LEADS. More People on Two Blocks Than In Entire Streets in Other Good Towns. In a comparison of tho apparent business nctlvlty of Pendleton and Baker City, Arthur 0. Spencer, assis tant counsel for tho Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company, who was in this city yosterday, said: "Ilecently I had occasion to visit Baker City and spend a day or two thero. Tho contrast between that placo and Pendleton In rognrd to nc tlvlty Is something to bo remarked.
