Four police officers were detailed to make a house to house inspection to locate filth. stand ing water and seepage from hydrants, the latter in violation of the plumbing ordinance which requires connection with the sanitary sewers.
 This detail makes daily reports of findings to the chief of police and where infractions of the law are found the owners or occupants are promptly notified to remedy the evils But few violations have been, so far, noted and when reported the official notifica- tion has promptly gone forward. Chief Rondeau this morning stated that the reports thus far received show a uni versal desire on the part of occupants of dwellings to comply with the law He further stated that, in his opinion, based on the reports handed in. Mobile will show up as one of the cleanest cities In the South. Mayor Lyons con- frmed the expression of the police chief

WILL PROLONG TERM
SCHOOLS OF PENSACOLA TO CLOSE
 IN JUNE.
Extra Month Because of Fact That for Some Length of Time the InstI- tutfOns Were Closed Ow-
 ing to Sickness.

Pensacola, May 23.-The Board of Public Instruction today issued a mo- tice to the patrons of all city schools that owing to the fact that the schools could not be put In operation last year until November. because of sick ness in the city, that the session will be prolonged and the schools will have thei rclosing exercises during the lat ter part of June. instead of May. as heretofore. During June however. the schools will open their morning sessions at 8 o'clock instead of 9. and. allowing two ten minute recesses will close at 1 80 D. m.
 The prolonging of the term is nee essary owing to the fact that the course of study requires eight full months. and were the schools to close on the usual date none of the pupils would complete his studies for the year.
 Many parents object to their chill dren attending school during the month of June, owing to the excessive heat. and the school board has order ed that the closing be one hour earlier than Is now the case in order that the children may reach their homes before the oppressive heat of the afternoon. It is thought by this arrangement that the attendance at all schools will decrease only slightly.

 The extension of the limits is being fought by a number of persons who have stock. several of whom conduct small dairies. and who allege 1t would work a hardship upon them. The mat fer was discussed at length last night

The romance of the soil is too strong
for A. B. Conley the pioneer wheat
king of Grand Ronde valley.
Four years ago he sold 5000 acres
of excellent wheat land in the bes;
wheat belt of the valley and at that
time determined TO retire from active
farming.
After an absence of a few months
from his farms which were the most
complete and well equipped in the
state. he began to wish he had not
sold, and finally he bought back n
portion of the 5000 acres and once
more entered into the infatuation of
wheat growing.
But all the time he has been trying
to buy back the entire tract which he
formerly owned, and yesterday at La
Grande the last 700 acres of magnifi-
cent tract was bought back by Mr..
Conley, who once more becomes the
wheat king of Grand Ronde valley
and owner of the most complete
farming industry in eastern Oregon.
On this large farm is an entire vii
lage, comprising store, blacksmith
shop, harness shop, machine shop,
wagon maker, horse shoer, school
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-03-03

house, chapel and immense ware
house, all part of the Conley farm.
At times 100 men are employed on
the farm and several hundred teams
OF horses are kept constantly in serv-
ice. At times in the harvest season
it is possible to see 10 threshers and
as many headers at work on the Con-
ley farm and long lines of wheat wag-
ons are employed for weeks hauling
the crops to the Conley warehouses.
The land was first purchased by Mr..
Conley from early settlers who believ-
ed that Grand Ronde valley was not
suited to wheat raising and from an
obscure freighter back in the sos Mr..
Conley has grown by dint of industry
and good management to be the lead
ing wheat grower in eastern Oregon.
The Conley tract was sold about
four years ago to a number of Nor
mons who converted the farm into n
Mormon colony. The purchase of 100
acres from these people yesterday re-
moves the last Mormon family from
the Conley lands, and the former
owner comes once more into posses
sion. He declares that he will never
sell foot of the tract again.

MAY DEBATE AT SALEM.
Seems to Depend Upon Plans for De-
fraying Expenses.

There is possibility that debat-
ing team from the Pendleton high
school will go to Salem for a debate
with the high school of that city
Should a contest be arranged another
try-out will be held here and debat-
ers selected in the same way they
were for the Walla Walla debate.
The following from the Salem Jour-
nal shows the effort that is being
made to have the Pendleton team
brought there:
Harvey Slater, manager of the de-
batting department, made a short talk
to the student body about the pros
poets of the Pendleton-Salemd debate.
He will go ahead and make arrange
ments If enough pupils will sign for
tickets to guarantee expenses. The
expenses will be near SIS. and the ad-
mission 25 cents. If arrangements
can be made the debate will come off
in May. Mr.. Powers continued the
speech of Mr.. Slater and enlarged
somewhat on the financial side.

Lent, with it's beautiful and impress
sive symbolism now rules the social
and religious world. According to
the ritual and ancient custom of the
church, all public amusements, mar
riago feasts, plays, birthday festivals,
religious festivals or other forms OF
celebration or amusement are pro-
hibited, Sundays excepted, and aims
giving and frequent ceremonials OF
worship are encouraged.
The exact period of 40 days Len
ten observances was fixed at the end
of the eighth century. Before that
time the number of days of fasting
had been SO, but in order to make
the period correctly correspond to the
period of fasting of the Nazarene,
four days were added. including We'd
nesday, Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day preceding Quadragesima, the
first Sunday in Lent. BY this ar
rangement, the 40 days period was
strictly adhered to. Sundays excluded.
The Lenten period ends at midnight
on Easter Sunday.
For 1900 years the church has OBJ
served Lent in practically the same
manner as It is observed by the Epis-
copal and Catholic churches
throughout the world today.
One of the most delightful and bril-
liant affairs of the season was the re-
ception and dancing party given at
Music hall on Tuesday evening, when
Mrs Eugene Vaughan, Mrs. Ernest
Skiles, Mrs. Charles Eppinger and
Mrs. Thomas Ayers entertained their
many friends.
Without disparagement to former
parties, given at that place, Music
hall never looked prettier in its gala
attire than it did on that evening. So
cozy and homelike was its appearance
when one stepped into the hall, ii
seemed more like walking into large
drawing room. Divans, Indian robes
and fancy pillows, together with the
pink hooded candle lights placed on
stands at various places about the
hall, were only smaii part of the
decorations used. An unusually at
tractive feature which called forth
many words of praise were the cano-
