Within 10 days from this date the
"Warren Construction company will
commence actual work paving; tho
business streets of Pendleton, and be
to re next winter sets in the dream of
paved streets for this city will have
been realized.
At the council meeting last evening
the contract, already signed by the
legal representatives of the Warren
company, was approved by the council
and slimed by the members of the
street committee who were authoris
ed' to do so. Today the papers will be
ent to Lehman Springs for the sig
nature of Councilman Itenn, though
the contract Is already made, as under
tho ordinance any two of the commit
tee wre given power to sign It, and
both Messrs. MeCormmnch and Ell
signed the same Inst night.
After the contract had been approv
ed the bond of the Warren rnmpany
was presented anil approved. The
checks which nccompanled the vari
ous paving bids submitted recently
were ordered returned.
Cannot stop Work Now.
Now that the paving contract has
been made, It wlll.be impossible for
the work to be stopped by nn Injunc
tion. According to Judge Lowell, at
torney for the Warren compnny, nnl
who represented them at the meeting
last evening, should an Injunction now
be secured his company could give a
bond and proceed with the work rf
paving. This same opinion Is held
by the city attorney, and It is believ
ed that the Harbor company would
have secured nn Injunction before the
contract was 'et wore they Teally In
tending to use such tactics.
Aside from the street paving con
tract, much other Important business
was-transacted last night. Owners of
property on Ihe west side of Cotton
wood street petitioned that henceforth
a 10-foot sidewalk be required on thnt
Shle Instead of one of Keren, as at

ed hythe street committee and an

Hasten 1 ,evoe Repairs.
The subject of repairing the levee
wes discussed nt some length last
night, and the levee committee was
asked to hasten the matter of secur
ing an engineer and having plans for
repairs drnwn up. Councilman Hln
kle reported thnt a representative of
the WIHnrd C. Toung Engineering
company would be here shortly to

SHEEPMAN KILLED I1Y HERDER.
Apparently the Shooting Was Acci
dental. Boise, July 12. Henry Bock, a
sheepman, of this city, was shot and
almost Instantly killed nt his sheep
camp on Smith creek, about IS miles
from this place, by his sheepherder.
The shooting seems to have been
purely accidental.
The story that hns come to Boise
from different sources Is that Bock
was visiting his sheep camp, which Is
about four miles from Smith's I'rairle,
and had stated to his herder, a man
by tho name of "Whipple, that he was
going to leave the camp Monday eve
ning for Buchanan's ranch, which wns
some distance away. It Is customary
for herders to sleep near their sheep,
to protect them from coyotes and
other animals, so when evening came
Whipple left Bock In the camp, with
the understanding that ho would leave
that evening.
Early the next morning before Ihe
sun was up, Whipple returned to the
camp for his breakfast. On nppronch
Ing he noticed something moving
nbout beneath Ihe carcasses ot mut
ton he had left hanging In a tree,
lie. mistook the object for a bsur and
shot It with his rifle. His aim was
only too accurate and when he In
vestigated he found he had killed his
employer, tho bullet piercing his neck.
Bock was a partner of John Gakey,
of Boise. He was 39 years of age and
leaves a wife and child. The coroner
of Elmore county will Investigate tho
matter.
a.Mli Anniversary of Orange Klot.
New York, July 12. Orangemen
todny met and held appropriate cere
monies commemorative of the bloody
riot of '71. It will be recalled that
the Orangemen, while being the ex
cuse for the riot were In no wise the
cause of It, as tho same was insti
gated by a New York newspaper
owned by Boss Tweed, which pub
lished a sensational article that
brought about the conflict It ils
notable that the feeling Is not so keen
In these latter days between the
Orangemen and the wearers of the
green, and today's meeting punned off
quietly.

no offense was committed. The de

tracts with the Oregon Short Line,
Northern Pacific and other roads reaj
they ehould receive rates equal to the
lowest market price. It was shown

Schmidt Building Has Cnislied a
IJlteral-e-Clty Pliysioinn Investigates

Unless prompt action Is taken to
Tepalr the sower connecting the build
ings on the east side of Main street
between Webb and Alta, much sick
ness will certainly result. For some
time past the lateral which connects
the entire block with the main sewer
on Alta street has been blocked. As
a result, most of the sewage from all
of the saloons, restaurants, hotels.
laundry nod ether places In the block
has flooded the bnsements of the
buildings.
The trouble Is said to have occurred
in the rear of the Schmidt building,
where the lateral runs under one cor-
uri in me nuiming. Clumbers sav
that the settling of the ground under
the building has crushed the sewer.
At me council meeting Inst nleht
tne matter was brought to the ntten
tion or the council by Councilman
Mumm. of the sewer committee. After
a discussion it wns moved that the
city physician be Instructed to Inves
tigate the conditions and to require
proper repairs to be made and con

system.

"To the Honorable County
Court of Umatilla County, Ore
gon: We. the undersigned
taxpayers of Umatilla county,
Oregon, respectfully petition
your honorable body to cause to
be constructed a county road
from a point on Wild Horse
creek, where the county road
running down said creek leaves
the same, running thence down
Wild Horse creek to the Uma-
tllla river, thence down said
river along the north bank
thereof, to the Lee street
bridge."
Several copies of the above petf
tion are now being circulated among
the taxpayers of the city, and already
many Influential signers have been
secured. As soon as a sufficient num
ber have signed the petition it will be
presented to the county court ax
action requested.
and;
jne movement toward securing et
road down the north bank of the
river from Wild Horse creek to the
Le street bridge was started at the
meeting o the Commercial associa
tion Tuesday evening. At that time .
the subject was discussed and it was
decided to circulate a subscription,
asking the court to build the road.
Would Avoid Hill.
The principal reason why a road
down the north bank Is desired Is that
such would provide a thoroughfare
leading Into the city from the Wild
Horse country without a heavy hill
to climb. The present road leading
In from that country Is objectionable
because of the big hill which must be
climbed. both on entering and leaving
the city.
Advocates of the new road claim
thnt It would be much more conveni
ent for farmers of the Wild Horse
country than the present road. and',
that those living In the river bottonv.
above town would have to go but lit
tle farther to reach the city by thif
north side road.
