Court. But as the council h g!m Aa.
elded upon bltullthlc It would be ut
terly useless for the Barber company
to present a bid, so members of the
council are Inclined to believe Mr.
Mendenhall had another mission in
Pendleton.

that class of pavement He was In
stantly checked by Mr. McCourt, who
informed the gentleman that his a
cusatlons were wholly false and that
ne and his company would both stand
higher If they would refrain from such
tactics. At this the asphalt man
backed up" and apologized for hii
reflection upon the city council. .
