vlnclng arguments In favor of a pro
vision for municipal ownership of the
gaa plant In future, Is the fact that
municipal light Is always cheaper
than that furnished by private com
panies owning such plants.
In Milton, where the city owns Its
electric light plant, the minimum
rate for a It candle power light for
residence Is but $1 per month, while
In this city, with the large new power
plant Installed, the minimum charge'
for 16 candle power light for residen
ce is II. SO per month, or 75 per cent
higher than in the city of Milton.
Were It not for a small floating
debt which was contracted In Milton
before the municipal light plant was
Installed, the profit from the electric
plant and the municipal water sys
tem would defray alt the expenses of
the city. This Is a most convincing
argument In favor of a municipal
ownership provision.
May Ask for Veto.
This afternoon it is said that should
the council pass the gas franchise or
dinance as It Is now framed. Mayor
Matlock will be asked to veto the
measure and a petition asking such
from him will probably be circulated
among the business men of the city.
.Should the ordinance be vetoed It
would require three-fourths of the
council to carry it over his head and
thus it would be necessary for the
company to secure one more vote than
they will need to pass the ordinance.
Whether or not the veto power will be
used by the mayor should the fran
chlse pass, is not known.

part of that amount was on his livery

The total cost of the three new
school buildings which have Just been

was Just $100 less than the estimate
made by Architect Troutman before
the work was commenced. Sixty
thousand dollars was available for the
work, and plans were made accord

of the buildings and subsequent work

PENDLETON, OREGON
IN THE SUPREME COURT.
Four hundred and six members are
now enrolled In the Pendleton Com
mercial association, and thus the
high mark set some time ago has
been exceeded. At the meeting last
night 130 applications for member
ship were presented and were voted
Into the association unanimously,
In the absence of President Borie,
C. E. Roosevelt, vice president of the
association, presided last evening and
there was a representative member
ship present.
A report from the committee ap
pointed to make arrangements for the
Umatilla county exhibit at the Lewis
and Clark fair was read by Bert Huff
man, and told of the work that was
done and expressed thanks to the
county court for taking hold of the
matter In the manner which they did.
Other members of the committee
were W. D. Hansford and C E.. Roos
evelt. Upon motion of T. C. Taylor, Jesse
Failing was made an honorary mem
ber of the association, and unpaid
dues ordered remitted, the same be
ing done In consideration of the long
and active part which Mr. Falling took
In the work of the association up to
the time of tho accident which left
him an Invalid. He was made an
honorary member for life without
dues.
Regarding the interstate open river
meeting which had been suggested
for Pendleton on November 28, letters
on the subject were read from Tom
Richardson, of Port'and, A. Bennett,
of Irrigon, and President E. L. Smith,
of the Oregon Development League.
However, cue of the conditions named
in the call for the meeting was that
senators and members of congress
from the three states should be pres
ent at the meeting. This, according
to Mr. Huffman, would be impossible,
as practically all of those men will
have left for Washington by that date.
As a result, a damper was thereby
thrown upon the proposition, and
doubts were expressed by several
present as to the advisability of call
ing the meeting under the circum
stances. Upon motion of Dr. C. J.
Smith, a committee of three was or
dered appointed to further Investigate
the matter and report to the associa
tion. After the meeting, Chairman
Roosevelt appointed Judge S. A. Low
ell, Bert Huffman and C. J. Smith as
members of that committee. It Is
said that unless the state develop
ment league will take the lead in the
matter and call the meeting on Its
own authority, no meeting will be
held.
The fact that there is now much
additional work In looking after the
rooms of the association was brought
to the attention of the association by
T. C. Taylor, who suggested that the
board of managers take some action
towards securing some help for Li
brarian A. W. Nye. Also, the salary
of the latter was raised from $60 to
$75 per month upon motion of R,
Alexander.
A report on the work of the ath
letic board was made to the associa
tion by Roy Ritner, who told of the
actions taken in employing a physi
cal director for the gymnasium, and
of the problems facing the commit
tee. Announcement was also made
that on tho coming Friday evening
a social dance will be held In the
gymnasium, to which all members of
the association, their wives and lady
friends are invited. An admission of
50 cents will be charged for both
dancer and spectators, the latter be
ing admitter to seats In the gallery.
Upon motion the athletic board was
Instructed to prepare a set of rules
for the gymnasium, and to make
other suggestions regarding the man
agement of the sume, and to present
them at a meeting of the hoard of
managers.
However, members of the commu
te were not satisfied with this ar
rangement, and a motion was made
by Dan P. Smythe and upheld by
George Hartman, Jr., thnt the dues of
the association be raised to $1.50 per
month for the next four months, so as
to pay off the debt incurred in es
tablishing the gymnasium. However,
this was opposed by several members
and the motion was finally with
drawn. The Idea of a subscription
for the gymnasium was then suggest
ed by W. L. Thompson, who stated
that he would start the same by a $10
contribution. A paper was then
started by Roy Ritner and before the
meeting had adjourned $220 had been
subscribed. The committee was then
ordered to circulate the subscription
among other members and business
men who were not present, and the
same is being done.

A Natural
Laxative
Inward cleansing is 11 necessary as outward bathing. To keep the
bowels free and regular is of even greater importance than to keep
the skin-pores from becoming clogged. The neglect of either in
vites disease. Everyone needs a natural laxative occasionally, to
free the bowels of accumulated impurities. For this purpose take
CBACR PILLS
the greatest boon ever offered to those who suffer from the ills
that Tollow constipation. For over fifty years Beecham's Pills have
been famous.as a Stomach corrective, Liver regulator and Bowel
laxative. They never gripe nor cause pain. Powerful purgatives
are dangerous. Avoid them. Use Beecham's Pills. They give re
lief without doing violence to any organ. Their action is in har
mony with physical laws. Take them regularly and the necessity
for their use becomes less frequent They are a natural laxative

MUTTON MARKET QUIET.
Native Lambs Reached II6.7.1 In C1U
cago. The Chicago Livestock World says:
Live mutton trade wus practically
on an unchanged basis. Everything
available sold at about steady prices
and good sheep and good lambs were
both In demand. The best native
lambs made $7.65 and the best west
erns $7.35. Supply was light and
quality Indifferent. The four-day
supply Is only 130,000. against 150,
000 last week and 92,000 a year ago.
Lambs have held a decided recovery
from the low spot early in the week.
No trouble was experienced in get
ting $707.50 for good lambs and If
they were choice they sold above the
latter figure without difficulty. Me
dlum lambs sold barely at $$.25 07.
Yearlings were scarce and quotable
at $5.7506.25 for fair to prime year
ling ewes and wethers, Dakota made
$5.50.
No good western sheep arrived.
Native ewes sold largely at $5.60
S.85. Over the latter figure they had
to be prime, but $8 was quotable.
The sheep market has been strong.

Wonderful Development in the Inter,
lor of Alaska.
Colonel J. H. Conrad, millionaire
mine operator and perhaps the best
known mining man In Alaska and
the Yukon, was at the Hotel Butler
Saturday, on his way to New York
and London, says the Seattle Star.
As president of the Conrad Consoli
dated mining properties, he has been
largely instrumental in founding and
maintaining the flourishing little city
of Conrad, in the Yukon district, 600
miles from Dawson, and In the heart
of one of the richest mining districts
In Alaska.
More than a million dollars will
be spent by him In developing the
new and marvelous strike of silver In
the Windy Arm country, near Tagtsh
lake, 60 miles from the sea. Four
miles of tramway have already been
built, and many more will be built
In the spring.
'One hundred claims have already
been filed In the Windy Arm district,
and many more will soon be taken up.
One prospector, It is said, realized
$108,000 on 80 per cent of his claim.
The veins run for mile and are mar
velously rich in gold and silver.
