BUILDING REMOVED
LEVEE AT ASYLUM
NEARING COMPLETION
Before the present week is over
the Newport Land & Construction
company of Hermlston will have com.
pleted the levee along the banks of
me umatiiia river at me branch asy-
lum site just west of this city. The
flnlljIllnff touches ar belng put on
now and persons who have inspected
the levee declare it to be a most
splendid piece of constructive work.
The levee begins at the west end
of the O.-W. It. &N. railroad brWge
nnd runs 2100 feet down the right
hand side of the river. It is eight
feet wide at the top and fifty feet
wide at the bottom, this measure
ment including the solid rock toe, six
feet in width, which Juts out into the
river at the base as an extra rein
forcement. The riprapplng of the In
cline surface has been executed so
neatly that the surface Is almost as
smooth ns if done In concrete.
A tunnel has been constructed
through the levee at one point in or
der that water for the irrigation of
the nsylum bottom lands can be se
cured and this tunnel is guarded by
heavy gates. Tho Newport company
Is also digging the main canal for
the irrigation system.
At the conclusion of the asylum
job, H. K. Newport will take his men
nnd equipment to Hermlston where
he will begin at once upon the con
struction of the water system at that
town.

ANOTHER MURDEROUS
COURTESAN REFORMS
Mrs. Patterson Will Be En-
couraged to Kill, by
Townsmen
To Return Home, Occupy Honor Seat
at Banquet and Probably Tell How
to Slay and Kscae.
Denver, Nov. 30. Promised a greet
ing by the entire town of Sandoval
Illinois, her home, and where she
will be the chief guest at a big ban
quet, to celebrate her acquittal, Mrs.
Patterson will start for her did home
tomorrow. She later goes to Oregon
to visit an old schoolmate.
"I am so happy I can't tell how I
feel," said Mrs. Patterson today.
"When I heard the words, 'Not guil
ty,' I wanted to scream with joy. I
had prepared to hear 'conviction,' as
I didn't want to be disappointed and
I knew If I went to the court expect
ing conviction, I wouldn't feel so bad.
I am going to make the best of my
life. I am through with men forever.
I have had enough trouble and men
have caused it all. 'Chick's' mother
sent word that she would shake hands
with me after I was convicted and
tell me she hoped I would enjoy the
penitentiary. But she didn't get the
chance. Thank God for that."
Mrs. Patterson denied that she
would go on the stage. Mrs. Patter
son, mother of the slain man, said:
"She flimflamed the Jury. She flim
flamed my son. I didn't want re
venge, only Justice, and this Justice
is a disgrace."
TO EXTEND COURT
STREET SEWERAGE
At an estimated cost of $900, the
Court street sewer will be extended
along Hazel street to the north side
of the railroad ill order to connect
with the slaughter house and abattoir
soon to be constructed by tho Pendle
ton Meat ctynpany, the sewer com
mittee having been Instructed by the
council last evening to advertise for
bids.
This action was urged by Mayor
Murphy because of the importance to
the city of a sanitary slaughter house
and every member of the council
showed a willingness to assist in pro
mot'ng the contemplated improve
ment. The last meeting of" the council be
fore the election which will decide
the personal of that body for the next
two years, was a brief one. there be
ing but little business to be transact
ed. Bids submitted by H O. Moussu &
Co. nnd Oavid B. Rogers for the con
struction c! a sidewalk on Washing
ton and Blaine streets were opened
and submitted to the street commit
tee nnd petitions for liquor licenses
for the next year were referred to
tho license committee. Aside from
the reading and approving of the snl
lary list and the action In regard to
the sewer, no other matters came up
for consideration.

Messrs. Bland and V7ilson, expert ac

the laws expressly declare that
no
commissioner shall receive any com

advise the city to secure the city at
torney's opinion on the matter. The
city attorney, however, had already
given the experts h's opinion which
upheld the action of the commission
in" that the services rendered by Mr.
Dickson were outside his regular du

HEPPNER AND PENDLETON CLASH ON GRIDIRON
Rev. Milnes Presiding Over Services of Union of
Churches, Says It is a Day When All Stand Together
to Return Thanks to Their Maker.
Thanksgiving Is being generally ob-
served in Pendleton and at noon prac
tically all business was suspended and
the day given over to various appro
priate ceremonies, the most import
ant of which is no doubt the annual
feast of turkey, etc.
All public offices remained closed
all day, while the business houses
closed their doors promptly at noon.
The feature public event, arranged
is a rootoau

Round-Up park, beginning at 3 o'clock

I team, conceded champions of eastern
Oregon and the Heppner high school

held by the Pendleton school. This
game promises to be the most hotly
contested battle, ever witnessed on the
local gridiron.
Tonight a brillian ball will be given
ai the Eagles-Woodman hall, for
members of Pendleton lodge, B. P. O.

HEPPNER TEAM ARRIVES
E AS
With both teams confident of vie-;
toty and both having records behind j
tl-em justifying their confidence, the I
football teams of Pendleton and Hep- I
pner high schools are ready for the j
seunding of the whistle at 3 o clock
this afternoon which will start ine
t imnipionship fray. The Heppner boys j
Arrived In the city last evening and
in their ranks are a number of husky
players. However, their average
weight is but two or three pounds
more than that of the local team and i
there will be but little advantage in
that.
Coach Smead, an ex-O. A C. stu
dent, believes he has an aggregation
that will give a good accounting of
itself, aifl, while he does not predict
victory, he does prophesy a good con
test nnd a small score. Captain
Crawford of the visitors expressed
himself this morning as follows: "If a
heavy line and speed count for any
thing, we should carry off the hon
ors." Coach Lytlo of the Pendleton team
is maintaining; his customary non
committal ntitudo but declares hi
boys have a few trick plays which
should net them something. Captain
lllnderman, after viewing the bulk of
I his opponents, said, "They have big

ure. These folks are foreigners,
though not necessarily born In soma
country other than our own. That
man Is a foreigner, wherever born,
however distinguished his ancestors,
whatever his profession or religion,
that man is a foreigner who violates
the spirit and memory of America's
history, her great days and Institu
tions. He Is a foreigner to American
ideals. He Is emphatically one of the
"undesirables." Reflecting, therefore.
on America's great days and the deep
unifying passion of gratitude requir
ed to keep their memory aflame In
the soul, and to bind us as a people
into a common brotherhood, let us
observe Thanksgiving day religiously
and unitedly. Such an observance of
this annual occasion is one of the di
vinely appointed means of making
and keeping us a united people. But
as already intimated, it makes the
deeper suggestion that we can bo
united only upon the essentials. We
are united in proportion as we are
profound. The oceanic cable along
which run messages of friendly rela
tions and commercial intercourse be- ,
tween the nations of the earth, lies
a: the bottom of the sea. So the tie
that binds our affections to the com
mon heart of humanity lies In the
deeper strata of our being. Our af
finities are profound; our antagonisms
are superficial. The man who does
not feel conscious of spiritual affin
ities for all mankind stronger and
deeper than his enmities, is not living
in the deeper chambers of his nature.
The splash and froth of billows al
ways lie upon the surface of the wa
ters, but they direct no ships and pro
pell no argosies. So the splash and
froth of men's antagonisms lie upon
the surface of life and are of little
consequence among the propelling
forces of character and destiny.
"Now let us apply this principle to
our relations as sister denominations.
If we are profoundly united and dif
fer only superficially, it would seem
our most obvious duty to emphasize
only the fundamentals. Not that we
are to obliterate our denominations.
Denominations are necessary and they
are here to stay as long as human
nature Is human nature. They are
but the crystalized expression of di
verse types of religious experience.
They are essential to the highest de
velopment of the peculiar religious
genius of diverse types of humanity.
They are a wholesome stimulous to
the activities nnd enthusiasm of one
another. Their permanence rests up
on the well-founded principle-of the
division of labor, each denomination
emphasizing that particular truth and
performing that particular function

eree, Prof. A. Asbalir as umpire.

brey Graham as head linesman.
