An exemplification of Pendleton spirit which promises to
add to the present fame of the city was shown last night when
members of the Pendleton Commercial Association, at their
regular meeting, gave endorsement to the program presented by
the board of managers, made suggestions for further activities,
pledged themselves to do everything possible to assist the asso

Col. Charles Wellington Furlong was
one of the speakers of the evening,

the spirit that Pendleton displays in
other movements.
"This spirit of your city means a

est thing to kill. It was the failure on
the part of Germany lo take into con
sideration the human equation that
caused her failure in the late war. She
neg'ected to give consideration to th6
spirit of her enemies.
"I never have seen a city with sueh
a spirit of fair play nnd the square
deal as Pendleton has shown."
The speaker also dwelt on the dur
ability of hearing In mind constantly

municipal improvements and moves
