Within the last few weeks the pay-roll
in Pendleton has been increased by $50 a
day through the operation of a plant here for
the preparation of sand and gravel for use in
cement and on road construction. This plant
has been installed by A.H. &o[, manager of the
Oregon Lumber Yard. Up to this time, all sand
and gravel used in the city has been secured
from Umatilla. With the operation of a local
plant the cost has been greatly reduced through
eliminating freight charges, and at the same
time the plant has been a bene¿t to Pendleton
through adding to its pay-roll.

The Indian Arts and Craft Society, orga-
nized last spring on the Umatilla Reservation,
has begun its schedule of fall classes. Bead and
feather work, leather craft and other classes
in Indian handiwork will be held each Friday
at Mission Community Hall. The society was
organized to teach the old skills to younger
Indians, said Gilbert Minthorn, Blue Mountain
College student who is acting as publicity agent
for the group. “Tourists have come to Mission,
and looked for a place to buy Indian souve-
nirs,” he said. “They seem puzzled when they
are told there aren’t any.” Minthorn said the
society hopes eventually to set up a souvenir
shop at Mission. A trademark will be acquired,
to combat the factory-made imitations.

More than 100 unmarried Umatilla County
teen-agers had babies in 1989, helping make
the county’s rate of unwed mothers the second
highest in the state. The 42 percent increase
over the previous year in births to unwed
mothers in Umatilla County was nearly three
times the rate statewide, according to statistics
released by the Health Division of the Oregon
Department of Human Resources. For the
year, Umatilla County trailed only Jefferson
County in the rate of unwed mothers at 341 per
1,000 births. Those statistics point out the need
for family planning and se[ education, health
of¿cials say.
