PENDLETON GAMES ARE CLOSED

PENDLETON, oct. 6.-District At
torney Phelps Tuesday night gave no.
tice to the boss gamblers to close their
houses, and by midnight every place
in the city was closed. Seven closed
voluntarily Monday. The gamblers
will not make fight against the edict,
as they seem to take their fate with
good grace.
MIR. Phelps gives as his reason for
closing gambling that the city officials
permitted games to be run too loosely
and that dives were becoming too nu-
merOus. Many gamblers are leaving
the city. most Of them for Portland
and a few for Walla Walla.
During the past month Pendleton
has been the Mecca for the gamblers
in Portland and Baker City many
knights of the green cloth flocked to
this city. With them came a less de-
srable element in large numbers. The
situation was beginning to reach an
unWhOleSOme stage and the streets and
saloons late at night had very much
the appearance of the early days,
when the town was run more loosely.
The reason that many of the gamb-
ling houses closed down was that the
business was being Overdone. Some
scarcely paid running expenses. The
monthly license was fixed by the city
