HERMISTON. UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, SATURDAY, MAY 1, 1920 VOL. XIV HERMISTON TO HAVE SHOW HOUSE 7389 Hermiston is to have a moving picture house that when completed will be the equal of any amusement place outside of Portland. The structure will be the property of C. H. Crandall, our genial marshal and water superintendent, whose name will go down in the annals of Her miston history as the founder of the first real moving picture house to be established in this city. The building will be one story high and built of poured concrete blocks. Its dimensions will be 25x105 feet, with a 26% foot front. There will be a basement beneath the structure 12x25x8 feet, and in this will be installed an up to date heating plant. There will be a seat ing capacity in the building for 300 people, and the Interior will be fitted up with the latest model opera chairs on a slanting floor, and fans and ventilators will keep the air sweet and pure. • The new movie house will be built on Lot 15 in Block 8 on Main street just east of the printing office. When completed the building will have cost right around $8000. Mr. Crandall has let the contract to Albert Smith, a local contractor, who drew the plans and prepared the specifications for the structure. The contract calls for the completion of the movie house by July 15. George H. Adams of New York has taken a three year lease on the place, and, as has before been stated in a recent issue, he will open up a picture show just as soon as the house is ready for occupancy. There was spirited bidding among the local contractors to see who would secure the privilege of build ing what in time will be a historical land mark" in the “moving picture world in Hermiston when this city attains a population of many thous ands in the years to come. PLAN HI JOIN COLUMBIA AND LINCOLN HIGHWAYS W. S. Parks of Pendleton, secre tary of the Tri-State Automobile Club, was here Tuesday in the inter ests of national highways. The ob ject of the associations affiliated with the movement is to connect up all the various highways in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and California to merge into the national highways. One project is the connecting up of the Columbia highway with the Lincoln highway that passes through Salt Lake City, thus giving a trans- continental route to the eastern states. Also it is the idea to connect the various state highways. The different associations affiliat ed include the Tri-State Auto Club and American Automobile Associa tion. Mr. Parks will maintain an office in Pendleton, where maps, data, etc., may be obtained by interested automobile men and tourists. Trips Discontinued The Troy Laundry auto delivery has been discontinued on account of the heavy expense incurred in making the trips from Pendleton to this city. The company has appoint ed William Shaar their sole agent here, and local people are assured Of prompt and efficient service and snre return of their laundry providing they leave it at the barber shop on Monday of each week. Hay Is Scarce The local hay men report an acute shortage of that article on the local market. All baled hay has been sold out and only a very limited amount of lone hay in the stack is available at the present time, though there is said to be a small amount at Umatilla. Now Sole Owner With the filing of at least ten separate instruments in the county tecorder’s office it is shown that E. P. Dodd has taken over and is now sole owner of the holdings of the Umatilla Farm Lands Co., amount ing to something over 2000 aeree. The mortgage, according to the records, has beeen cancelled.
