East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-08-07

Yesterday was CLOSED Sunday 1C
Pendleton and a day that will be -1--
membered for long time. On TIKI
business streets of the town not ~
place was open excepting hotels ana
restaurants. Drug stores. bakss5sS
and undertaking shops, three cIazaaEi
of business allowed to remain OrseE-
under the law, also closed their doGg8
for there was no use keeping 0re1
under the restrictions placed ab.Oztf
them. No refreshments were to- Ae
had, nor could a smoker secure q
cigar, for both refreshment shops szzl2s
cigar stores were under the BAN 10
ice was to be had, for the ice pifznk
had closed down though not requsrsd
to do so, and the same was true 90
the electric plant. No current TraR
turned on by the latter until nsssst
evening, and consequently there ann
no power to run electric fans. Tde
loss of the latter was keenly felt IN
the rooms of the Commercial assQcl-
alton, which was allowed to renHtn
open to its members, though no cisazrz
were sold
Apparently the order for the cAnS-
ing of business was closely obeye&, &U
but two arrests were made TEEzn
were Carney & Kennedy, propriet014
of the City Livery, and Bowers n
Son. The former place continued,
their business as usual, while the kzx--
ter maintained that he had hired Gzzt
but one buggy. Both were fined ~
each by ]. T. Brown, who, rs acsfnass'
as city recorder during the absence aoz
Judge Fitz Gerald. All of the stahlENz
remained open as is their right, Enf
sent out the teams which they stzHafe
for private parties, but with the aboSs
exceptions none were found hiring Gun
their own teams.
Contrary to expectations quite a
number of people were on the stresaaRs
yesterday, in spite of the closing AND
the hot weather. During the afte=-
noon the mercury ran up ofeTa-r
heat on the east side of Main strs.ez-
and something cool would have besssr1
refreshing, but it was not to be had

Two distinct varieties of opinions UE-R
to be found. Among those who 1zR,
