Pensions for rlany.

WAsHlNGToN. June l6-The House
today passed the Indian Was vet
eran bill, for which the Oregon delega-
ton has been struggling so many
years, The bill is identical with that
which passed the senale on February
10 last, except Tor an unimportant
verbal amendment. As passed, the
bill makes Immediately applicable the
provisions OF tho Blackhawk pension
act. Those who will be awarded are
the surviving officers and enlisted men
including marines, militia, and volun-
tecrs OF the military and naval service
II the United States, who served for
30 days or more, and we're honombly
discharged under the United Stat .
military state, territorial or provis-
ional authorities in the Cayuse war OF
1897, 1879, on the Pacific Coast,
the Oregon and Washington Indian
wars ltonl 1921 TO 1906, and numer-
Gus other Indian wars. The bill also
makes provision for widows Of such
such officers and enlisted men, pro-
vided that such widows have not re-
married, and provided further that
where there is no record OF enlist
ed or muster into the service of tle
United States, in any Of the war
mentioned in the act, the record Of
pay by the United States shall be ac-
cepted as full and satisfactory proof OF
such enlistment and service; and
prqyided, further, that all contracts
heretofore made between the benefic-
iaries under this act and pension at
torneys and claim agents are declared
null and void.-Ofegonian.

HOTEL is LOCATED
ON CALVIN CORNER
Just West of the Post Office.

Stockholders of the Enterprise Ho,
tel Co., met Monday evening to re.
elect the board of directors in order to
avoid possible error in procedure,
and to select site for the proposed
hotel bailding.
The directors elected for term of
one year We're, W. R. Holmes, W. J.
Funk, G. w. Hyatt, f. r. Bowlby, G.
5. Craig, D. W. Sheahan and John
Root. The next order of business
was the selection OF site. Several
were suggested but it soon became
evident that there were those who
favored any location facing the public
square, and those who wanted it on
the block on which Combes' black
smith shop is located. A great deal
OF skirmishing was done by both sides
and nothing had been done by one
o'clock A. NJ, when the meeting ad
journed until Tuesday evening.
During the day other sites were pro
posed and finally few minutes be-
fore the meeting was called to order,
John Calvin offered to srll his two
corner lots for $l65O and take $500 in
stock. The proposition took like wild
fire, and a subscription paper was cir
culated to raise money to reduce the
cost OF the site to the Hotel Co Six
hundred dollars was subscribed in a
ye-y few minutes, some few of them
paying the cash before signing their
names. The buildings on the lots
we're valued at several hundred dollars
and will still reduce the cost OF the
best location in town.
A vote was then taken ON n site
!or the proposed hotel and every share
OF stock was voted for the Calvin cor
ner. This was happily settled, which
for a time seemed like very bad
breach in the company. Everybody
was satisfied and rejoiced over such a
satisfactory set lement.
Eight thousands, six hundred doll
ars seems quite an amount for a town
the size OF Enterprise to raise in few
days for any undertaking, but it was
done quickly and easily and shows
what the town is capable OF doing
when it is necessary. Enterprise will
have one Of the best hotels in Eastern
Oregon.

attention to the alleys of the city and
back-yards OF private premises Such
places often accumulate rubbish that
may breed disease or make starting
place for fire, besides giving the city a
general appearance of shabbiness and
neglect. The alleys are under the
control of the city and can he easily
attended to under the direction of
the council, while mere general re-
quest from the council to the owners,
will, think, be sufficient as far as
private property is &C ncerned.
For some reason the city seems to
have never been provided with cor
porate seal. ! think it should have
one to place on its official documents
and which will give them greater
sanction as such, an without seal

year, | expect to make many other
suggestions and recommendations.
and hope these that / have submitted
will receive at your hands the consid
Grafton which think they deserve.

Old Buildings.

Tne old buildings ON the Calvin lots
purchased for the new hotel will be
offered for sale next Saturday at . o.
clock P. NJ. to the highest bidder for
cash or note with approved security.
The corner building is exceptionally
well constructed and some person who
buys it will probably get bargain.
The other buildings are fairly good
and could be repaired into a good
dwelling house.

The Buggy r1an Again.

The county is again being over run
by carriage, hack and buggy men from
the Eas'. They are selling cheap
class OF goods at high prices and tax
ing farmers notes which they dis
count at the banks, at liberal rates
They also take old vehicles in ex-
charge to help along II sale, which
they dispose of to second hand dealers
and whenever opportunity offers to
other farmers.
These foreigners make all sorts OF
offers to induce farmer to trade or
buy one Of their wonderful buggies
In one instant north OF town they
asked the price Of $I35 and the old
buggy for new rig. The farmer re-
fused to deal and they stayed with
him two hours finally reducing the
price to $50 and the old buggy.
Other instances are quoted in which
any price was made to make sale
These fellows come every year and as
often as they come they succeed in
in disposing OF IA lot OF cheap stuff
for paper that is as good as gold,
They are smooth takers and many

begin to feel the need OF water for the
purposes of irrigation. This ditch
and the fiume which forms part of
it, was constructed by donations OF
money and labor on the part of the
irhabitahts of the city, assisted by APP
preparations from the city treasury.
The water which it supplied to the
people OF the city, was appropriated
from the Wallowa river, N the year
1898, at point then on vacant public
land of the United States; and
this fact, according to my view, under
the laws OF the United States and the
city charter, vests in the city govern
ment perfect right to appropriate
the water and flow il over the land
which was then vacant, although such
land may have been since taken up
under the land laws of the United
States. This is certainly a very val
liable property right in the city, and
should not be lost nor impaired by
any abandonment or neglect on the
part of the city officials. The ditch
should be kept in repair and not per-
mitted to damage any premises by
breakage or overflow. There appears
to be few rods OF the ditch where
the same runs on hillside ON the
land of F. A. Clark, that should be
tiumed, rs the ground at that place is
light and porous and full of squirrel
hoes and likely to cause considerable
trouble from breakage, unless perma-
nent repairs are made. The lateral
bitches which take the water from the
main ditch, do not seem to be kept in
repair, but are allowed to overflow
and the water to run onto and stand
and stagnate on the streets, making
travel difficult in places, besides caus-
ing probable danger to the health Of
psople living nea- the same. re-
commend that the council take such
steps as will insure an ample supply
of water through this ditcn to the
people OF the city during the irriga.
ting seasons, and at the same time
guard against wastage of the water
and injury to public and private igbts
by reason of breakage and overflow.
/ notice that there are many low
places in the streets where the water
caused by rains and melting snow,
will stand until it disappears through
the slow process of evaporation and
absorption. This water, when it
stands on the streets, is Il source OF
much inconvenience and probable
danger to health, and is certainly very
unsightly. This trouble could be OBJ
waited by filling up these low places,
and making the grade OF the streets
uniform and somewhat elevated in
the centre, with drainage bitches at
the sides, if necessary.
Some portions OF the sidewalks in
the city appear to be in very de-
fplorable state Of repair; and in some
places there are very dangerous breaks,
jogs and jump-offs. Under the chart
er OF the city, the council has the
power and authority to cause the side
walks to be repaired by or at the ex-
pense OF the owners OF the adjoining
property. 1t is very important that
the streets and sidewalks be at all
times kept in a good and safe condi-
ton, as any defect in the same may
at any time cause one or more acci-
dents, involve the city in litigation.

INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON
Copyright, Davis W. clark.)

fruitless toll among the Gentiles must have begun to convince the Church that the world would never accept the Gospel plus Judaism, circumcision. and all. The cruel murder of Stephen had helped to prove the spirit of Judaism and Christi anity irreconcilable. The conversion of the Ethiopian and all Samaria flashed up- on the Jewish h-Christian consciousness the truth that God was no respecter of per- sors. and that Jew and Gentle were fell low-heirs, share and share alike, to the inheritance of grace.
 Providence takes the irrepressible and perplexing problem of the status of the GeLtile toward Judaism and Christian ity. He gives an unmistakable formu- lary for its solution in every instance As Cornelius and his companions, uncir- cumcised Gentiles, had received a Pen- tecostal effusion precisely like that which the Jewish dis dpIes had received. the distinction of Jew and Gentle was evil dently abolished. Henceforth it was un- doubtedly the Divine will that the Gen. tile should become a Christian without first becoming Jew. So a partition more impenetrable than Chinas famed wall melted away.
