put the situation frankly before union

He told them the army Is now of the

the situation be met by volunteer en
listments, but warned them, as things
now are. that recruiting Is inadequate
to fill the gaps. Kitchener said he

NEGOTIATIONS BEING MADE To
SECU RE UrTS ON ACADEMY
PROPERTY.
There seems a strong probability
that in the near future a modern
apartment house will be built in Pen
dleton and that It will be the means
of bringing a number of new families
to Pendleton. It Is definitely known
that several prominent cltlxens arc
negotiating for the purchase of the
three lots known as the old academy
property on Riverside Drive and that
plans have been discussed for the
erection of an apartment house upon
them.
At the meeting of the city council
last evening, J. E. Mullinix. in the
ourse of his discussion of the value
U) the city of making Improvements
mentioned the fact that there is an
extreme llklihood of an apartment
house being built. Already five
traveling men have agreed to take
apartments, he said, and he believes
there are 15 or 20 other travelinf
men who would move their families
here if suitable apartments could be
had.
Dr. M. S. Kern. In renewing his ap
peal for notion looking to the pave
ment of Riverside Drive, corroborat
ed Mr. Mulllnix's statement and men
tioned the location being contem
plated. However, he .said, the men

until they were assured that the
drive would be paved so that there
