MAKES PLEA FOR
A CITY BEAUTIFUL
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT
GIVES ILLUSTRATED LECTURE
Urges Removal of Rill Boards ami
Cleaning Up of Vacant Lots, Back
Yards and Alleys a,,d Curbing ol
Streets.
Although only a small audience was
out to hear him last evening. How
ard Evart Weed, the noted landscape
architect pleaded for a city beautiful
with as much eloquence as though
the assembly room of the city hall had
been crowded to capacity. Illustrating
his lecture with splendid stereopticon
views, he showed steps, unattended
by any great expense of money or la
bor, whereby the citizens of Pendleton
could make their city a place good
to look upon. Incidentally, he point
ed out some of the improvements
planned for the making of Round-Up
Park a thing of beauty.
Among the suggestions he made
last night were the removal of hid
eous bi'l boards, the cleaning up of
vacant lots, the back yards and alleys
the curbing of streets and the plant
ing of uniform trees in these curbs
and the eradicating of all eye sores
and unsightly places In the citj
In the course of his remarks upon
the beatulfication of a home, he
pointed out that many tree butchers
mutilate a tree In order to try to
make it grow against its nature.
This was an argument against the cut
ting of the tops out of trees for he de
clared that any tree or shrub is most
beautiful when allowed to fulfill the
law of iU nature. Only dead and
useless branches should be cut away,
he declared.
Mr. Weed also appealed to the city
to make a public playground for the
children, declaring the need for one
to be Imperative to any city of any
size.
His views illustrated his arguments,
showing street scenes before and af
ter improvement. Altogether his lec
ture was extremely entertaining as
well as Instructive and it is regrettable
that more citizens did not attend.
able to see out of his right eye for
thirty years, had the use of it re
stored to him In a remarkable man
ner. In 1SS2 he lost the use of one eye
through some unknown cause.
Several days ago he walked front
his home to Strausstown, a distance
of two miles, during a fierce storm,
and he was compelled to face the
strong gale, on his way home. The
wind blew considerable dust Into his
eyes.
His right eye filled with water and
he rubbed it, and presently he was
able to see a dim light. He kept on
rubbing the eye, and upon his arrival
home his sight had been fully restored.
