THE TUESDAY LUNCHEON
BECOMING VERY POPULAR
BUILD NO MORE BOARD SIDE-
WALKS—MUST BE CONCRETE
The Tuesday 12:30 luncheon held
this week in the Oregon Hotel Cafe
is becoming popular, as was demon
strated by 25 attendants. The hour
was too short to allow full discus-
sion of all “topics, but the commit-
tee named at the former meeting
reported that a site for an automo-
bile camping ground for tourists
had been found. This committee
was instructed to get an option on
the same and proceed to prepare it
for use.
Another committee was authoriz-
ed to design or arrange words for an
appropriate Hermiston pennant as
a means of advertising our city by
placing them on autos and display-
ing them elsewhere. Another active
committee will implore the O. W.
R. & N. to arrange night service at
the depot and place warning bells
at the dangerous crossings.
*The postmaster was delegated to
convince the rural patrons to print
names on their mail boxes, and Mr.
Sapper agreed to do the lettering on
all boxes brought in to him.
The secretary of the Commercial
Club was instructed to arrange new
and reliable literature bearing facts
concerning the Hermiston project.
Everyone present exhibited lively
. interest, and the Tuesday luncheon
is a fixed matter to all who care for
the welfare of our community.
Several auto loads of Hermiston
business men boosters, and likewise
a number of farmers went to Pen-
■Beton Wednesday and attended a
meeting of the county fair bord.
They were after an appropriation
from that body to help out In the
expense that will be incurred put
ting on the three day show this fall,
and were successful in securing an
appropriation of $1350.
The board controls $2100 of the
state fair funds, and of this $75 0
was appropriated for the school in
dustrial fail’s, one of which will be

At a meeting of the city council
Thursday night a motion prevailed
that the city attorney be instructed
to draw up an ordinance which will
have for its purpose the abolishing
of all future building of board side
walks in the city of Hermiston, and
that hereafter only concrete side-
walks will be allowed. This is a
good move, and it is hoped the civic
body will go a step further and or
der at once the removal of a few of
the derelict sidewalks now existing
in the "main part of town and have
them replaced with concretes ones.
The recorder was instructed to
notify Peter Norquist to-tear down
the remainder of the old Hermiston
livery barn that he owns on the
West Side.
The park commission and the City
attorney were instructed to look af
ter the matter of a wafer right for
the city park located near Hermis-
ton Butte.

Millions who have read and mar-
veled at Tarzan as he is portrayed
by Edgar Rice Burroughs arc now
much enjoying seeing the story
portrayed in film. The Movie here
has gone to great expense in secur
ing a booking of this now famous
motion picture, and those who at
tend the show tonight at the Audi-
torium will witness this great white
giant, Elmo Lincoln, portraying
Tarzan as the leading man In the
drama.
Some of the finest bits of action
ever seen on the screen are found
in "Tarzan of the Apes.” The fight
between sailors and officers aboard
a vessel is an excellent bit of acting.
Tarzan’s struggle with a lion, as
well as his fight with a native ne
gro, are excellent pictures of a most
exciting character.

in this issue, and don't fail to be VII
