great rejoicing among our people, and
We city will put on new airs"
The next day Philadelphia awoke to
discover that she was no longer a
British city by occupation. The kings
troops had vanished during the night,
and few could tell how or when they
went. That very day some of Wash
tngton's light troops rode into the city,
and soon afterward the battle of Mon
mouth was fought and the British Sc
verely punished.
The year after the war there came
to Philadelphia, by mail. a letter ad-
dressed to Master Johnny Phillips"
and when the patriot boy opened it..
he found several locks Of pretty hair,
woven in the form Of heart.
The heart was a double-leaf one,
and when Johnny opened it he read.
in the handwriting Of child:
From the children of Corporal
Benson, of We Royal grenadiers, to
Master Phillips, who reminded their
father so often of his little ones at
home. Father sends his love-"
Johnny often told how he saw the
British evacuate Philadelphia, and
many years afterward an old man
showed with pride to his grandchtl-
dren a heart of hair woven upon pa
per, and on the inside the love Of the
old grenadier and the little ones

Gen. Howe and his men"
Johnny agreed to keep the secret
Master Walters had impaired, and
when night came he met the tailor's
son at certain corner and the two
boys went to a quiet street which they
had reasons for thinking the British
troops would take, for it would lead
them to a ferry below the city.
The hours dragged slowly to the
boys. The Cock in a nearby steeple
struck ten, then II and finally u. It
was midnight, and the British had not
come.
Are you getting sleepy, Johnny"
asked Toby.
Sleepy, and watching for the Brit

you be thinking about, Toby? I'm as

After awhile Johnny suddenly

WALLA WALLA CLOSED TOWN.
For the First Time I'm Years Busines'
Houses We're Closed on Sunday.

Walla Wala, Feb. 12.-(Special.) -
For the first time in many years
Walla Walla business houses were
closed tightly yesterday, as result of
the Sunday closing agitation which has
been started by the city council.
The council demanded that the sa =
looms be forced to observe the laws
and in order to retaliate the saloon
men took action to close the stores
and other places included in the pr
visions of the Sunday closing law.
Livery stables, hotels, undertaking es-
Establishments and drug stores alone re-
mained open yesterday.
There is bitter feeling against the
saloons for taking this action and 1t
is probable that municipal war will
be precipitated which will result in
raising the saloon licenses to $4,000 or
$500 per year.
The people feel that the stores and
other ordinary business establish
ments from which no harm comes on
Sunday should remain open, but that
the saloons on account of the disor-
der they create should be closed on
that day and the sentiment is crystal
izing against the saloons in the move
ment, since they caused other harm
less places to be closed through jeal-
ousy and revenge.

IN EXTRAORDINARY SESSION.
Governor Hanley Takes an Unusual
Method to Gust Storms.

Indianapolis. Feb. 12.-Governor j.
Frank Hanley will convoke the gem
eral assembly of Indiana in eXtraor-
dinary session. Authoritative infor-
nation to this effect came today from
Washington, where republican lead
ers were unable to head off the gov
ernor 1t is expected that the call
will be issued soon after the return
of the governor from his trip. As
several vacancies in the Legislature
are to be filled 1t is not likely that
the special session will begin before
late in March.
The principal object of Gov. Hanley
in summoning the legislature is to
oust the secretary of state, Daniel E.
storms, but he is attempting to over
shadow this issue with other import
ant measures for which he has Sc
cured much publicity during the past
few days. Secretary Storms continues
to insist that he will not resign in
order to save the republican party
from the humiliation that is said will
be heaped on the governor by the de-
velopments of an extra session.
Governor Hanley filled lecture
engagement Saturday night in Bloom
burg. Pa. He is expected to return
to Indianapolis tomorrow.

That the q. r. & n. company Is
not opposed to street improvement in
Pendleton is shown by the prompt re-
ply received from Superintendent d.
w. Campbell concerning the move
ment being carried on in Pendleton
for paving for Main and Court
streets.
This morning Agent +. c. Smith
of the Pendleton offices of the COM
pany received letter from Mr..
Campbell saying that the company
would not oppose any improvement
desired by the people of Pendleton
and would cooperate as far as possi-
BILE in every movement for the better
ment and progress of the city.
Since the O. r. & \. company owns
about 800 feet of property on Main
street between Webb and Bluff
streets, II is more largely interested
in the paving of Main street than any
other company or individual and its
ready assent to the proposed improve
ments is highly encouraging to those
who are working to secure this ad-
vance step for the city.

BIDDING WOULD
Be COMPETITIVE
PROSPECTS FOR LIVELY
AND SHARP COMPETITION
Advance Skirnishing Has Bcgun-
Though Preference Has Been EN-
pressed for tue Bitulithic, Yet
Other Processes Will BE i'm the Field
With Bids Representing Genuine
Competition - Probable That Bit
ulitliic Can BE Placed Here Cheaper
Than i'm Walla Walla.

That there will be an exceedingly
sharp contest between the street paw
ing companies of the northwest over
the paving contracts in this city,
should it be decided TO proceed with
street paving, is shown by the advance
skirmishes which are now taking
place.
While it has been said unofficially in
Pendleton by city officials and others
that the btulithic paving is prefer
red, yet it is evident that prices on
other kinds of paving are going to be
reduced to such low figures that paw
ing at very moderate cost can now be
secured.
The Barber Asphalt company, which
has heretofore dealt almost exclusive
ly in asphalt paving, it is said will be
in the field in this city for the con-
struction of the bitulithic paving, if the
city decides to build that kind of paw
ing here.
While the bitulithic company re-
ceived S2.17 per square yadr for the
bitulithic paving placed in Walla
Wal!a, it is said that an offer will be
made to the city council of Pendleton
to construct bitulithic paving for
about S1.S5 per square yard, by a
competing company.
This is hut the first skirmish be-
tween the rival companies. and it is
thought that Pendleton will be able
to build first-class bitulithic paving
for about $i.75 per square yard before
the contracts are let, if the paving is
agreed upon.
