Within 10 days from this date the
Warren Construction company will
commence actual work paving the
business streets of Pendleton, and be-
fore next winter sets in the dream of
paved streets for this city will have
been realized.
At the council meeting last evening
the contract, already signed by the
legal representatives of the Warren
company, was approved by the council
and signed by the members of the
street committee who were authoriz-
'edito do so. Today the papers will be
sent to Lehman Springs for the sig
nature OF Councilman Rem, though
the contract is already made, as under
the ordinance any two OF the commit
tee were given power to sign IT, and
both Messrs. McCormmach and Ell
signed the same last night.
After the contract had been approy-
ed the bond of the Warren company
was presented and approved. The
checks which accompanied the vari-
Gus paving bids submitted recently
were ordered returned.
Cannot Stop Work Now.
Now that the paving contract has
been made, II Will. be impossible for
the work to be stopped by an injunc-
tion. According to Judge Lowell at
torney for the Warren company. and
who represented them at The meeting
last evening, should an Injunction now
be secured his company could give n
bond and proceed with the work OF
paving. This same opinion Is held
by the city attorney. and II is believ-
ed that the Barber company would
have secured an injunction before the
contract was let we're they really in
tending to use such tactics.
Aside from the street paving con-
tract, much other important business
was transacted last night. Owners OF
property on the west side OF Cotton
wood street petitioned that henceforth
1O-foot sidewalk be required on that
side instead of one of seven. as AT
present. The proposition was approv-
ed by the street committee and an

one-third the invoice rate for lubri

The commissioner stated the con-

they should receive rates equal to the

the Pennsylvania received lower rates
than the others. so provision was then

Would Avoid Hill.

The principal reason why a road
down the north bank is desired is that
such would provide a thoroughfare,
leading into the city from the Wild
Horse country without a heavy hill
to climb. The present road leading
in from that country is Objectionable
because of the big hill which must be
climbed, both on entering and leaving
the city.
Advocates of the new road claim
that 1t would be much more convent
ent for farmers of the Wild Horse.

that those living in the river bottom.
above town would have to go but lit
tie farther to reach the city by the

Several copies of the above petit
ton are now being circulated among
the taxpayers of the city, and already
many influential signers have been
secured AS soon as a sufficient num-
Der have signed the petition it will be
presented to the county court and
action requested.
The movement toward securing a
road down the north bank of the
river from Wild Horse creek to the
Lee street bridge was started at the
meeting of the Commercial associa-
ton Tuesday evening. At that time
the subject was discussed and it was
decided to circulate subscription
asking the court to build the road.

Open Bids Monday.

The county court is now consider
ing the proposition of building a steel
bridge in place of the wooden one
above the hospital, and bids for the
construction of the same will he
opened Monday. Yesterday a con-
tract was let for the building # a
temporary span for the bridge so cs
to make the bridge passable while
waiting for the steel to arrive. The
bridge will be needed badly soon. as
harvesting machinery cannot cross
the gravel bar at the ford below the
bridge. The temporary repairs win
cost 500, and the lumber used win.
afterwards be used on other bridge
work.
Estimated Cost of New Road $500.
Should the county court view With
favor the proposition for a rfortb
bank road it is probable that the old
bridge above town will be me rely re-
paired and no steel bridge ordered.
what action the court will take in the
matter remains to be seen. AS the
road down the bank will REQUIRE m1,ch,
work in the rocky bank. 1t will re-
quire considerable expense. Accord
ing to Commissioner Walker the
building Of the road was once esti-
mated at $500, but he believes il will
cost $4,000.
As the county has already been 10
much expense repairing flood ,.o,,-
ages the court may not see fit to build
the desired road at present. How
ever, the friends Of the road hold that
this is the time for action. before a
steel bridge is built above town. ana
they hope for favorable action from
the commissioners.

A Feminine Failing.

One cannot see just why the writer
who tells her experience in the Indi-
ana Farmer should have cared to
break into the Indians pretty belief
in the sanctlty Of the silent woodland
region, nor why she exposed her own
lack of tact and good manners. More
over, the imposition of her superior
knowledge in this case was wasted.
for as the story shows, their faith re-
mained mistaken, while their conclu-
sion was not complimentary to the dis
turber Of the peace.

,ne manner of some is; but exhorting
one another; and so much more, as ye
see the day approaching"
The Psalmist says, further that he
VIII praise the name of the Lord for
HIS loving kindness and for His truth
NOW, before he could utter these
words change had to take place in
his heart. Naturally he could not have
spoken these words. That change we
call faith. Without faith it is impos-
slDle to worship God. When it is
asked how to worship God the first
and chief answer is by faith. 1t is
necessary first and foremost to be-
ileve In Jesus Christ, who taught His
disciples how to pray and worship.
Christian prayer is true worship. All
worship outside of Christ is not Chris
tian, but heathenish. When the Sa-
vlor told the Samaritan woman that
the time would came when they
would neither worship in this noun
tain nor at Jerusalem, He at once
added: But the hour cometh and
now Is, when the true worshipers
snail worship the Father in spirit and
In truth; for the Father seeketh such
to worship Him." Stress must be
laid on faith, and the right kind of
IaIth, lhe faith the Scriptures incul-
cate.
In true worship the worshiper does
not think as much of what God does
lor MIN. Here there Is danger of
making mistake. People are natur-
ally inclined to think of themselves.
Even professed Christians often think
God is under obligations to them for
coming to His temple to worship. This
was not the sentiment of the Psalmist
when he worshiped toward the holy
temple, praised Gods name and
thanked Him for His truth. 1t was
the spirit the Savior inculcated. The
faith makes us realize what q great
work Christ has done for us In tax
Ing away the guilt of our great and
many sins, and fills our hearts with
true gratitude toward God The pub
lican furnishes us with an example
of humility and genuine worship
when he went into the temple TO
pray, for he said: "God be merclful
to me, sinner" 1t is to be hoped
that this is the spirit in which you
came to the temple of God.

Text will worship toward thy

When we speak of the tample of

that is the only place. That does not
excuse Christians from holding wor-

to God that more of that were done!
