Franklin street is to be macadam-
lied from Court to Railroad street,
distance of two blocks. Several meet
ings ago resolution was adopted by
the council asking for the improve
ment of the above street, the same
being desired so as to make 1t posi-
BILE for the crushed rock to be hauled
out over that street at a minimum
expense. Last night as no remon-
STRANGE from the property owners of
that street was presented, ordinance
requiring the work to be done was
presented during the meeting and
adopted. Under the provisions of the
ordinance the work is to be done by
contract. the same to be let to the
lowest bidder after due advertisement.
Thus far the two blocks on Frank
/ lin street is all that the council has
been able to secure for macadamizing.
as the property owners on the other
streets proposed for Improvement
have demonstrated and thus stopped
the proceedings.
For the first time in several months
there were seven councilmen present
/. last night. j. II. Hmkle, recently ap-
pointed as successor to w. ]. Sewell,
was present at the meeting, and was
sworn In at the beginning of the meet
! ing His term will expire in Decem-
/ ber. However Robert Forster, the
other appointee who was named by
! Mayor MatlOck as successor to w. S.
Wells, did not appear, and evidently
/ is not going to qualify for the office.
Liquor licenses were granted last
night to Baker & Sullivan and to Joe
| Hoch. Also, several licenses of sa-
/ looms that have just been sold wers
ordered transferred to the new pro-
| prietors on the filing of proper bonds.
! Those transferred were Swearingen
/ Bros. to Baker & Sullivan; Baker &
Sullivan to James Shipp; Geo. Smith
to j. w. McFadden.
/ The matter of appointing judges
and clerks for the coming city election
| was brought up by the mayor, and 1t
/ was finally agreed that the same be
/ named at the next meeting. Three
| judges and two clerks will be required
for each ward. Each councilman was
asked to select the officials for his

for a voting booth. Recorder Fits

The woman who gave her name as
Mrs. John Martin and passed five
worthless checks for S25 each on To-
cal merchants a few weeks ago. has
been arrested at Bozeman, Mont,
and is now under a five-years SEN
tence for the same crime there.
information to this effect was re-
,ceived last evening by Sheriff Taylor.
and a picture Of the woman was sent
him for Identification. Immediately
after the forgery occurred here the
sheriff notified the authorities at
Bozeman along with others In the
northwest, and they were on the look
out for the woman. Consequently,
when a woman giving the name of
Mrs. John Walters was arrested there
for passing worthless checks, she was
found to also tally with the descrip-
ton sent from the sheriffs office
here. Among other things in her pos
session there was pair of shoes
bearing the name of Tee Teutsch, and
some letters indicating she had been
In Pendleton. A picture Of the wo-
man was also among the effects, and
this was sent here for Identification.
on receiving the picture last even
ing Sheriff Taylor made the rounds
of the merchants who had been bum
coed. and the same was Identified as
the woman who had swindled them.
The most satisfactory identification
was that of Clerk Taylor, in the Bos-
ton Store. He was approached last
evening by the sheriff, who said:
II want to snow you a picture of
a friend" on looking at the photo
the clerk noted the likeness to the
woman swindler and was about to
mention the fact but checked him
self with. az was about to say some-
thing, but ] guess l had better not If
she Is friend of yours" However.
the sheriff was willing to hear the
worst about his friend" and was sat
isfied with the Identification.
As the woman and her husband
are now both under sentence for for
gerry in Montana, they will not be
brought back here for trial. How
ever, a warrant for their arrest was
sent the sheriff at Bozeman to be
served I'm case they should come clear
OF the charge there. But evidently
the pair thought II better to plead
guilty to the one charge rather than
be brought back to Oregon for trial.
A 6-year-old child is said to have
been with them, and that the mother
asked that she be allowed to take her
Offspring to the penitentiary with her,
but the request was refused.
