SAYS CHAIRMAN TALLMAX "If Pendleton is to amount to anything the town must maintain schools and unless some new buildings are provided the schools had Just as well be closed." Thus spoke J. V. Tallnian, chairman of tho school board, in discussing the bond election this morning. The em- phasis with which he expressed himself made it clear he meant exactly what he said ' In the course of the discussion Mr. Tallman pointed out the urgent- need of completing the Lincoln school, on the north side of the river, as well as erecting a new high school. At this time there are but four 1 rooms In the Lincoln school and so the school accommodates but half I the number of grades provided for at tho Hawthorne and Washington schools. This arrangement makes it necessary for north side children j to walk to either the Hawthorne or Washington schools. This way of ! handling things"is intolerable in the view of Mr. Tallman and he says that now Is the time for the people to correct a situation that has been endured for the past few yenrs merely because local business conditions were not considered right for voting bond issues. 4 The subject of voting bonds for erecting n new high school and for completing the Lincoln school are to be voted upon Thursday. Cer- tain interests that care little for the welfare of the schools but bate taxes "as the Devil hates holy water" are working to defeat the bond is- sue. Are the progressive people of Pendleton going to allow them to succeed in the plot? . The polls will be open nt the court houso from 1 o'clock until 4 Thursday afternoon.

Translated from the German, Herr Colonel Richard Gaedke's expert military opinion is that- the United States army is inferior to a third class police force, while" that of the United States navy Is only a shade 1 etter. ' The ""opinion" is given in the Tageblatt. Gaedke believes that Lhe weakness of the American army, com pared with European forces Is ex treme and that it is a loose body of troops without any bond betwe-n them for co-operation. The United States lacks generals organization and military progresslvenes, according j to the learned Berliner, and the navy, j he says, shall be helpless when any nation, warring with the United 1 States, sinks a ship in the Panama ca nal. FRENCH SOCIALISTS ARE ENCOURAGED BY CHANGES In France one of the chief causes for regretting the downfall of the Brl nnt ministry seems to be the encour agement which the incident affords to the socialist enemies of the French republic. Mr. Brland's chief battles were with the socialists, who have become a far greater menace to the republic, it is claimed, than the roy alists and the imperialists combined ever were. The impression will pre vail that they drove the Brland min istry from office. That may not be correct, but entirely correct concep tions of such matters are not always prevalent. Certainly the French na tion Is passing through a critical pe riod In its history.

ITTZ GERALD WILL MAKE MODEL INSTITUTION Xew Head of Tubercular Sanatorium Is Brother of Pendleton Judge. Dr. P. H. Fitz Gerald of Gervais, and brother of Judge Thos. Fitz Ger ald of this city, who has succeeded Dr. W. J. Clements as superintendent of the state tuberculosis sanatorium, intends to place the institution on a more economical basis at once, ac cording to the Portland Journal. Dr. Cllements had provided that out of a $20,000 appropriation about $15,000 should go for salaries and $5000 for food for the inmates. A farmer and an assistant farmer were employed, it is said, to look after two horses and five cows, when one man, it is said, could have done the work in a few hours each day. In the same way it Is reported that more nurses than were necessary to care for patients were employed.

The bull ing Is particularly well qualified for the use to which it Is put and open air pavilions have been proving especially satisfactory. With the building there is 110 acres of rich land which can be farmed partially by the patients themselves and the institution thus made nearly self-supporting. For a long time Dr. Fitz Gerald has made a special study of tubercu losis, its causes and possible cure, and Is considered excellently fitted scientifically and practically to ad minister the affairs of the sanatorium. Chief of Police Tom B. Gurdane re turned last night from Portland where he had been to assist Sheriff Taylor In taking some prisoners to the penitentiary.
