A motion In which the membership
pledged Its cooperation to the cltjr
council in the program now under way
for the construction and Installation nf
a sceptic plant and for cleantng; up tha
Old dumping ground was adopted by
an unanimous vote of the Pendleton
Commercial Association at the forur.l
Juncheon held today at the Jolly Inn.
The motion was presented by J. V.
Tallman following a spirited address
by Rev. G. I- Clark In which the
speaker called attention to the neces
sity of solving the problems of proper
ly disposing nf sewage and garbage if
the city shall realize Its ambition to
attract outside Investors In greater
numbers.
The speaker characterized the pres
ent dumping ground as an eye-sora
and a "thorn in the flesh" to Pendle
ton, and he called attention to the fact
that the present method of disposing
of sewage Is not legal. . ,'
Following his talk, President James
H. Sttirgis called for an expression of
opinion from the membership on the
matter and asked what the attitude of
the association should be toward back
ing the council in its plans for lmprov
ing conditions. The motion by Mr.
Tallman followed. . , . -.,
Might Get College
In his talk Rev. Clark also called at.
tention to the fact that a woman's or
ganization of the Presbyterian church
is looking for a location for a college
that will have funds amounting to $2,.
000,000 for building and operation. He
suggested that an excellent site for
such an Institution, is to be found on
the reservation at the door of Pendle
ton. The iaw provides that land on
a reservation may he sold for educa
tional sites nn such reservations where
the schools have been abandoned.
"Why not dream a little?" the
speaker asked. "Why not go a step
further than w have ever ventured
before? The addition -of a $000,t
college to the attractions of Penrtle
ton would be one f the biggest things
we could do. Some community will
get this college, why not Pendleton?"
Rev. Clark has already entered Into
correspondence with officers of tho
Presbyterian board having charge of,
this phase of the work. The suggestion-
met with approval of the mem
bership. Favors Highway Improvements

Dr. McNary nt a recent forum lunch
eon In which the doctor urged the
necessity of making the highway ap
proaches to Pendleton more attractive.
Rev. Clark expressed himself as be
ing in hearty syfti pat Fiy with the sug
gestion. He also urged that the business men
interest themselves in seeing that boys
and girls in Pendleton be given an op
portunity to attend the coming num
bers of the Chautauqua. A brief re
sume of the numbers that are to he of
fered during the program that will be
held July 10-18 was given.
Pat Lonergan called attention lo
the big celebration that will be staged

he suggested that business men take
advantage of the holiday here to go to
the northern city and cement the
friendly relationship that already ex
