NEW CRISIS NEAR IN FIGHT OVER COUNTY LIBRARIANSHIP 6H With the first meeting of the II brary board, since the two new up polntments, set for this evening, therel Ik considerable Interest as to what ao- j tlon will be taken In the controversy which has been willed for months over Miss Habra I Nason, county li brarian. It is generally auppused that the opposition to Miss Nason will make another attempt to secure her remov al and. Inasmuch as the new appoin tees ure credited with beinit in sym path with this opposition, such an attempt would doubtless be success ful. As a counter the friends of Mlsa NaSOn are making an attempt to dis solve the present board and place the control of the library in the haudn of a board composed of the county court and one member appointed by the city council. A petition to this end hus been circulated among the councll- I men for the past few days by friends of Miss Nason and the signatures of Councilman Murphy. Kolsoiu. Kll ami Vaughni) have been secured, accord ing to report. If they suceed In get ting one more signature, thus giving a majority of the council, they will present the petition to the county court which Is now in session. This change of control. It is gen erally believed, would be a victorv for the friends of the librarian as the two I members of Ihe court have been vol j lug with the pro-Nason faction al ex J officio members of the present board, j A question has been raised as tn whether a board comprising the niein J ban of the court and one city appoln I tee Would be legal. The present board j operates under a law which permits the county to contract with the city. I and another law gives the court pow er to go Vat U a county library. Members of the opposition faction also contend thai the present board cannot be dissolved except by a ma jority vote of the board itself. How ever, it Is sisld that the contract be. tween the city and county could be OaoOf Uad at the option of either. Members of the county court are known to be dissatisfied with the present arrangement Inasmuch as it practically put the county library In the hands of city Rppnlntees. Home people profess to see In the present controversy a danger that the oily libraTi will be divorced from Ihe county library This would mean that there would be two libraries In Pendleton, one supported entirely by the county and one by the city. The county owns the new librnry build Ing and "the ground on which It Is In dited, the site having been deeded by the city to the county. Tlte county Is this year providing about 160(10 for a maintainanre fund and the citv IMOO. It is asserted by some of those working to abolish the present bonrd thai they are not striving to keep Miss Nason in office but merely to put an effects e end to the library quarrel They sMy that only through a new .leal may this be accomplished. ft STRANGE CASE ANNA BW1STEIN EDWARD The adoption by Edward N. Morri son, Chicago millionaire, of the two daughters of Jacob Burnstein. a Junk dealer, has brought out a remarkable situation. In the United States court Burnstein made the statement that his wife, the mother of the girls, ALLIES TERMS OF PEACE ARE GIVEN OUT BY OFFICIALS WASHINGTON, .Si tu. 7. The United Press has obtained from an allied official the new peace terms the allies are discussing. They Include the ceding to Brit- aln of Heligoland, the neutral- Izatlon of the Kiel canal and the demolition of the strongest German border forts. Some aJlied officials favor offering more renlent peace terms to the German slates de- xlrlug to sever political connec- tions with Prussia. The allies' leaders believe that it Is not Improbable peace will be dictat- ad in lierlin after the Urltish and French triumphantly march thioiigh Germany to Vienna.

STURGIS MEMORIAL IS PLACED' high school is IN NEED OF MORE FIRE PROTECTION The fire committee of the city council reported to the council last night that following an investigation of the city schools they found the Washington.

Sturgis, bene factor and founder of the Pendleton I public library, now rests in the new I library building. The memento was I placed thus morning and is the gift of i a number of former business friends ! and associates. A pretty coincidence in connection i? the fact that the plaque rests at the t end of the reading and reference room in which most of the books purchased by the Sturgis endowment fund are helved. f Mr. Sturgis died December 28; 1896 ,1 almost twenty years ago.
