PUNS HIVE BEEN FINISHED Kxact Iration of Pool Nut Yet De ckled rjxn Hut Two Places a I Jionnd-up Turk Are Being Oonsld erect Construction May Begin With. Oltcw'ng of Spring. The campaign for the mining of the money necessary fur the building In Pendleton of the finest public nut atorium In the northwest Is now fair ly under way and will be pushed vig orously by the Commercial Club com mittee which has for months been la borlously consulting over plana for securing the best possible pool at the least possible expense. Such a pool, the committee estl mates, will cost about 8000. This mount Is more than was first con templated but, after going thorough ly In the the Investigation of the awlm mlng pool aubject, discussing the mat ter with competent engineers and others who are familiar with pools In other cities, the committee decided that the cost of maintenance and op eration, which will be a fixed and constant one, would be greatly les ened by increasing the original ex penditure. In other words the committee has learned It will cost much lea to maintain and operate a pool built ot permanent materials Impervious to water,, heat, steam and cold weather than It would be to build a cheap ol which within a short time would ,ne4 repair. From the star;;?lnt of .sanitation and convenience the struc ture of concrete throughout would be Indefinitely superior to one of cheap er construction. In the view of th committee. The plana for the pool have been .completed ty J. O. Convlll, superln tendent of parka and boulevards In Portland, and. by his own declara ; tlon, they will secure for Pendleton a better natatorlum than has Portland or any other city In the northwest ; because he has taken advantage of the mistakes made by other communities to give Pendleton the best obtainable. The exact location of the pool In Hound up Park has not yet been definitely determined, the committee having two locations picked out. Because of the greater amount ot money needed to construct a desir able pool, the committee has started out upon a new campaign. A pre vious campaign last summer had re sulted In contributions from about 00 Individuals and many or inese are now aouuiing una iuui uf.ua their former subscriptions, regarding It as a business proposition to build the better pool. The committee feels wry encourniccd over the results of the first week's canvass and antici pates that enough money will be rais ed by the time spring opens to war rant the commencement of construc tion. The committee consists of C. M. Bishop, chairman, George A. Hart man, Charles II. Marsh, Q. I. La Dow, Leon Cohen and Dr. Guy L Hoyden. It Is estimated that the govern ment's Grand Canyon game refuge, in Arlsona, now contains about 10,000 - deer. Principal A. C.

The. meeting lost evening was one of a great deal of Interest to every one who attended. A program that throw new lights upon the history of this country was rendered, the prin cipal participants being pioneers who helped to make the history of which they were telling. For Instance, A.

The smaller nhip was sunk but the KoenlKnberg succeeded in getting be hind the Mafia Islands and some dix tance up the river, where she was completely screened by the bend of the river, and where the British heavier draft ships could not follow her.

At times I was within 100 yards of the German lines. The country along the Tser Is a tragic waste. The most dismal swamp would be a garden of Eden In comparison. Water covered the fields from Dun kirk to Ostend and from the south east coast to Vpres, crisscrossed by roads built by both armies, and dot ted by tiny Island occupied by the ruins of farmhouses. The hottest fighting has taken place for the pos session of the roads and Islands. The slaughter has been fearful. Number less decomposed bodies float In tha marshes, rotting In the mud and wa ter.

It provides that physicians may administer It, and druggists may sell pure grain alcohol for mechani cal uses. It permits the Importation into undlvidual households ot two quarts of spirituous or 24 quarts of malt liquors monthly. Increasing use of the national for ests by local farmers and settlers to supply their needs for timber Is shown In the fact that small timber sales on the forests numbered 8. 298 In 1914, against (,182 the previous year.
