That the street paving work will
commence at once was declared this
morning by Warren Construction COM
pany people, who have just arrived
for the purpose of starting operations
under the companys contract.
j. H. Shewry, superintendent of
construction, and II. L. Hoyt, cashier.
are the two officials now here and
the former will be in charge of the
paving work in Pendleton. Mr.. Hoyt
will remain until the work has been
organized, when he will return to
Pendleton.
According to Superintendent Shew-
ry carload of cement and one of
drainage pipe are expected here this
afternoon and as soon as they arrive
actual work will be started. He says
that much of the delay has been caus-
de by the difficulty in securing ce-
ment. which is now very scarce in the
coast market.
As soon as the cement and sewer
pipe arrives a force of men will be
started at work upon the curbing. and
another at placing the drainage pipe.
The company will bring its cement
men from outside, and laborers will
be employed here. AS many men will
be employed as can be secured as the
sewer work and grading will necesst-
tate a large force. Superintendent
Shewry does not believe he will have
much trouble in securing laborers for
the work, but If he does will bring
in crew from Walla Walla. At that
place the company is just finishing
with a gang of $50 and many of these
will seek work here when through in
the Garden City.
Superintendent Shewery has been in
charge OF the paving work at walla
Walla, though the company has not
yet finished with its last contract
there. Within a short time a contract
will be completed for $4,000 worth of
paving at Baker City, and also the
Boise contract will soon be made.
Electric Poles a Problem.
What to do with the electric poles
in the gutter on the west side of Main
street and the north side of Court is
question that will have to be settled
soon. According to the Warren peo-
pie waterproof pavement cannot be
placed around poles and consequently
the poles should be placed through
the sidewalks or the wires put under
ground. The telephone company has
already made arrangements to place
their wfies beneath the surface, but

ENHIBITS FREE TO BOISE.
Pacific Express Company Makes Con.
cc4ysiun for Walla Walla-

The following from the Walla Walla
Union, shows that active steps ave be-
ing taken there to send exhibits to the
National Irrigation congress, TO be
held September as.
The Unien says:
1.-The Pacific Express company has
opened a way for Walla Walla coun-
ty to send first-class exhibit to the
National Irrigation congress to be
held at Boise, Idaho, from September
to s. The company advertises that
it will carry free all fine exhibits of
fruit, shipments not to exceed 100
pounds from any one shipper.
A great interest is being manifested
in this congress all over the country,
and exhibits will be sent from nearly
every state west of the Missouri river
and from many of the eastern states.
There is no better fruit raised any,
where than that raised in Walla Walla
county and it is believed that no coun-
ty can collect a better display.
1t is to be hoped that the matter
of a fruit display will be taken up by
the farmers, frsritgrowers and busi-
ness men and that a concerted action
can be taken toward making the
proper showing at Boise.
So far no arrangement of this Rind
has been made I'm this city, the local
office of the Pacific Express company
not having received notice that ship
ments of any exhibits will be carried d
at less than regular rates.

DOUBLE TRACK NORTH BANK.
New Line VIII Have Every Facility
for Heavy Traffic.

Between Vancouver and Cape Horn
on the Columbia river, in Skamania
county, a distance of 25 miles, the
north bank road will be given a dou-
BILE track. The same facilities will
also be provided between Hover ami
Kennewick, 12-mile stretch along
the upper river. Orders for the dou-
BILE tracking of those two sections of
the road have been issued by Presi-
dent James ]. Hill, OF the Great North
ern.
The building OF the additional track
was decided upon in order to eliminate
the necessity of having so many
switches along the river. When the
grain shipping season is on in full
blast President Hill holds that 1t
would be more economical to have n
double track than innumerable
switches.
Both tracks will be built and COM
pleted in the same time.

That the $500 state appropriation
for premiums at the coming district
fair will be available, has finally been
ascertained, and as a result the sue
cess of the enterprise is now assured.
In letter to his partner, John Nc
Court. District Attorney Phelps states
that he called upon the secretary of
state while in Salem and that he
found that official willing to issue
the warrant for the $500 when the
proper time comes. Though some OBJ
lection was encountered owing to the
failure of some of the commissioners
to file their oaths of office, this was
satisfactorily explained, and the
money will be forthcoming.
A letter has also been received by
DIR. C. ]. Smith from State Printer
Whitney in which that official says
he consulted the secretary of state re-
garding the $3.50 worth of printing
that is to be done for the fair, and
was informed by the chief clerk that
| the Umatilla- Morrow county money
is available.
Means Success of Fair.
According to Leon Cohen, president
of the fair commission. the action of
the secretary of state now removes all
doubt regarding the state money and
consequently there will be $500 to
offer as premiums for livestock and
agricultural exhibits. None of the
money can be used as premiums for
trials of speed, such being prohibited
by the law.
1t is probable that a meeting Of
the fair association will be held on
next Saturday at which a plan of ac-
ton for the fair will be agreed upon.
However, in the meantime. the local
members of the commission will be
busy engaged in working out the gen.
eral plans. one of the most important
things being the selection of a fair
site.
