LIBRARY COMMISSION TO READ.
vERTIsE FOR BIDS FOR CON-
STRUCTION OF BUILDING.
Will Make Effort Hold Expense Within
the Amount Donated by Andrew
Carnegie.

At a meeting of the library COM
mission held yesterday afternoon 1t
was decided to make several changes
in the plans and specifications for the
new library building, so that the ex-
pense of erecting the structure and
furnishing it can be made to come
within the amount of the $4,000 gift
of Andrew Carnegie. The board will
advertise for bids upon the new plans.
The most important detail changed,
perhaps, was in the brick, where it
was decided that for parts not exposed
to the public view penitentiary or Wes-
ton brick might be used, instead of
the pressed brick from Kansas City.
It was also decided to have the walls
bound with steel clamps, sucn as are
used in the construction of brick
buildings in this city, instead of having
them solid brick, as was proposed at
first.
Instead Of structural relief work for
ornamentation, stencil work will be
used. giving almost as good an effect
with a great saving.
The board will meet again Septem-
hoc

TO PAY HUSBANDS DEBT
MRS. c. 3. WADE OF PENDLETON
UNDERTAKES A VERY
HARD TASK.
VIII Attempt to Earn Sufficient Money
to Release Her Husband From
Responsibility.

Humbly working as clerk in the
ladies' department of the Peoples
Warehouse at Pendleton. in order that
from her $10-a- week pittance she may
save enough to release her absent hus-
band from a $4,000 responsibility, is a
woman who until a few months ago,
was president of the State Federation
of Women's clubs, a leader in Oregon
society, and wife Of man then reputed
one Of the wealthy operators of the
country. The woman is Mrs. c. B.
Wade, wife of the departed cashier of
the First National bank of Pendleton,
the man whose sensational failure for
over 100000 a year or so ago threw
Umatilla county into a partial panic.
All the way from Honolulu, where
Mr.. and Mrs. Wade went after the
crash that wrecked her husbands for
tunes, Mrs. Wade came, asking mis-
creditors if he might return to Pen
dletOn. They told her, it is said, that
until the obligation relating to the
Craig estate, involving $4,000, was
settled, Wade could not return. 1t
looked like an immense sum to the
once wealthy woman, but she bravely
set to work to meet it. At SO a week,
We're she to devote every cent of her
salary to this purpose, she would be
81 years paying off the alleged debt.
If she were to devote to it only what
she could save after supporting ner-
self, it would take the plucky woman
half century to bring her husband
back.
Just where Wade is now no one
seems to know. He left PendletOn and
went to Honolulu. There they re-
manned for about three months. when
they returned to San Francisco, and
about two months ago Wade was seen
in Los Angeles. There is no alarm
over his return to the United States,
and his enemies say they will remain
massive as long as he does not attempt
to return to pendleton. But Pendle-
ton has been the home of Mrs Wade
for 50 many years that she cannot en-
Iure the enforced exile of her husband,
ana to provide for his return in the far
Instant future is her one ambition.

sPEcToR TO ENFORCE PRO-
VISIONS OF ORDINANCE.
City Scavensers Will Remove Stops
and Garbage From Alleys in
Residence Districts.

According to the instructions given
Councilman GlasfOrd last night, that
official, acting in the capacity of build
ing inspector, will at once take steps to
tween Main and Alder streets all OBJ
structions from the passageway. This
means that all open stairways leading
to Easements in the buildings and any,
thing that obstructs the alley will have
to be removed. 1t was pointed out by
the inspector that he had already notl-
fed the property owners to that effect
some time ago by publishing notice
in a newspaper, but so far his request
had not been compiled with. He was
instructed to take the necessary steps
that would compel the enforcement of
the ordinance regulating such matters.
To Remove Garbage.
City Health Officer Ingram reported
to the council that the Cinnamon had
discontinued to gather slop and other
refuse from the alleys in the residence
portion of the city and he recommend
ed that each resident he required to
provide "a galvanized tank in which
to deposit the refuse, and that one
more garbage wagon be put into COM
attorney was instructed to draft an
ordinance to cover the subject.
After the o. r. e. N.
Councilman Glasford reported that
the property owners along West Rose
street had filed Il verbal remonstrance
with him against the practice of the
O. r. & n. loading and unloading cars
along that street. He asked for in
structions. and was empowered to in
must be stopped at once.
Restrict Bicycles.
An ordinance was passed prohibiting
the riding of bicycles on certain por-
tons of Sixth, Seventh and Rose
streets. Any person that is convicted
OF riding ON sixth from Main to Alder
on North Seventh from Main to Rose
and on West Rose from Sixth to
Seventh will be liable to 4 fine not to
exceed the sum Of s. and costs.
Other Ordinances Postponed.
Several other ordinances were on the
calendar for action, but after two of
them had been called up and il was
discovered tlat they We're not in proper
shape for passage it was decided to
refer all unpassed ordinances TO the

OPINION ON GAME Law.
Unlawful to Hunt Deer With Hounds
During October.


The fact that the game law of 1903
does not mention the hunting of deer
and elk with hounds mas given rise
in some quarters to the theory that the
law existing prior to 1903. which re-
stricts the use of hounds in hunting in
western Washington and prohibits their
use at any time in eastern Washington
has been repealed. In an opinion hand
ed down Attorney General STRAIT
ton holds that the new law
does not repeal that feature of the law
of 1897 which provides that it is UNI
lawful to run deer with hounds in east
ern Washington and lawful In western
Washington only during the month OF
October.

KILLED
FOR HIS
MONEY

Pendleton. Aug. <. -Christopher C..
Ellis was shot down by an unknown
assassin Sunday afternoon half a mile
from F1eteher's sawmill. on Basket
Mountain Is miles southeast Of Milton,
Or. The motive for the crime was evi.
IDENTIFY robbery, as Ellis had on his
person at the timesof the crime $40 in
gold. which he had just received in
payment for labor.
sheriff T. D. Taylor has gone to
Basket Mountain personally to ~investi-
gate the affair. The %coroner's Jury this
morning were unable to throw any
light on the murder.
Ellis lived with Melinda Ellis. his
widowed mother, in a small cabin near
Fletcher's mill. 1t was not thought
that he had an enemy in the world. and
he never associated much with the 9TH
er young people Of that locality. Ellis
was unarmed when shot down.
He left home shortly before 10
o'clock Sunday morning. Less than
half an hour later George Selby, a
neighbor, found his corpse lying where
il fell. the top of the head blown off
buekshot. The coroner's jury is
the opinion that the gun was fred at
hort range. Footprints Of another
'erson were found entering the road
lalf a mile back of the place where FL
is was killed. The tracks did not stop
Intil they passed the body 80 yards.
Then they turned into the woods and
we're lost. 1t was found later that
hese same footprints emerged farther
'ack, and were finally obliterated in
he dust of the main highway.
