BREVITIES Expert dentistry pnet reasona ble. Dr. Sponogle, Athena. A new bank with a capital of $250,000 is planned for Pendleton by Portland and Spokane capital ists. Instead of holding a community Christmas tree, the churches of Mil ton and Kreewater united on plans for the relief of needy families. Lester Carlile and family are vis iting In Weston from Henniston, where he was employed in a garage until a damaged hand necessitated a vacation. Miss Thelma Anderson, who has been attending business college at Portland, is at home for the holi days and will remain for quite an extended vacation. The flu lid was tightly shut on Pendleton again Saturday. Church es, shows and all public places were closed. Cases to the number of .77 were under quarantine Tuesday.

The local lodge of Odd Fellows receives word that one of its mem bers, . Lawrence Pennington, is much better, after a very serious experience with flu at Spokane, where he has been employed in garage work. Private Emery Reynolds, former Weston boy and nephew of Post master Van Winkle, was both gassed and wounded in the fighting on the western front prior to. the armi- lice. At lasi accounts ne was aoie to leave the hospital. Kenneth MacKenzie sustained an operation for the relief of appen dicitis December 21 at Lewistown, Montana. Although weak from the disease, he got in his car and drove 40 miles to Lewistown in order to have the operation performed. It is expected that the Wilon Concert Band will rosume regular rehearsals after the holidays, flu permitting, and that it will meet at least once a week. ltn Lundell will hereafter direct the band at rehearsals and the former director, A. W. Lundell, will play Imritene, having lately purchased a baritone instrumenthitherto lacking. As the band has invested more- than $2500 in instruments, uniforms and vquipment and has lnvn maintained largely through its own resources, it hopi for a certain degree of en courajronu'iU from the community. A. W. Lundell, Weston's hustling insurance man, has taken on real estate also and has made a good start by th cash sale of a piece of town property within ten days after it was placed in his hands. He disposed of the Frank Skinner resi dence and four acres of ground on Broad street to Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Rowland, who expect to move to Weston from Pendleton about the first of March. Pastor Powell announces that regular services will be resumed next Sunday at the Methodist church, and will include Sunday school, Epworth League and both morning and evening worship. "After so long a time and with the danger practically past it would he a great joy to see a large attend ance," says the pastor. Milton and Freewater city water showed no signs of gas or colon bacilli after 72 hours of incubation, and is regarded as entirely safe. Typhoid fever in the neighborhood is thus shown to be due to water from wells. More than one-half the well samples tested were found to contain bacilli and gas. During a short absence of Mrs. Myron Hunt from her home in Hermiston a small fire resulted from an overheated stow. Two children were asleep in the house. Before help reached them the baby just a few months old was smoth ered by the smoke. The other child was saved. A coyote skin represents quite a sum of money at the county clerk's office these days, says the list Ore gonian. Besides the usual bounty, on the wall of the office County Clerk Brown has posted a chart on which s high a; $28 is offtr.d for coyote hides. Eleven hundred acres good land, good sawmill and good box factory all for $15,000. F. D. Watts. Mrs. J. E. Mclkniel has returned from Council, Wash., for the holi day vacation.

Having recovered from the effects of his recent accident, Lyle Webb has come home from the Pendleton hospital. He left some of his fin gers behind, but hopes to get along pretty well without them. The will of the late O. T. Doug las, Weston pioneer, has been ad mitted to probate. He haves an estate . valued at $10,000 to his widow, Harriet E. Douglas. J. M. Banister, J. II Price and S. A. Barnes were appointed appraisers of the estate. On a little piece of ground about six rod square, at his place in the Wild Horse, Edgar Simpson raised an astoniihing crop of t opt on. When he gets through shelling he thinks he will have some 730 pounds of popcorn, worth about $75, ready for the market. A beautiful Rod Cross nurse at the wheel of a handsome Overland car is the salient feature of a holi day wintlow In the corner show room of the Saling garage. The rosy-cheeked nurse in her uniform of white is so apcalingly attrac tive that local bachelors stop to giir.e and sigh that they wish she were a real live nurse and they wounded soldiers in her care. The Overland car one of the niftiest that Or'. Kennnrd displays is re lieved by a background of decorated Christmas trees, and Santa Claus is also in evidence. Sergeant Sid Barnes has not come homo as yet from France, as reported. In fact, in his latest let ter to his father, the sergeant says nothing alxmt coming home, and it is presumed that he will remain on, duty for a considerable ieriod. Sid remarks that he would like to serve tm the decoration committee for the pioneers reunion and the chances are ho will be accom modated. His experience in army camouflage work on the western front would come in good play In beautifying and bedecking the big pavilion. The delightful custom of Christ mas serenading was revived in Wes ton the evening of Christmas day by a party of local singers, who voiced the old and beautiful hymns of the season in front of no less than 23 homes. The tour ended at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Williams, where the carolers were most pleasantly entertained with an impromptu program of music and exercises and refreshed with cake, coffee and sweets. WESTON SOLDIER-STUDENTS GET HOME FROM 0. A. C. Ten young men of erect and sol dierly bearing, wearing the regu lation army uniform, have returned to Weston from Corvallm, where they were momliers of the Students Army Training Vra. Fortunate ly they did not have to go to war, but they were ready and willing to go; and it is unite evident that had their presence liccn noce.-sary at the front they would have given as good an account of themselves as the many other young Americans who beat back the Prussian guard. Besides going through the usual army routine at (Vrvallls and profiting physically thereby, the Weston young men took special work as follows: Rulon Smith and Carl Brandt. commercial. Icon ami Virgil Lundell, band music. Cus Burgy and Otis Could, radio. Frank lavender, Victor Thoeny and Herman Staggs, tractors and gas engines. Eldon King, humc economic.
