COUNCIL WILL
MEET TONIGHT
STREET IMPROVEMENTS
AND LEvEE PROTECTION
VIII Be Considered, and Also the
Levee Bonds, and Levee Contract
VIII Be Authorized-Every Method
and Practice by Which the Levee
Might Be Impaired VIII BE Provid-
ed Against and Penalty Fixed.

For the purpose of discussing fur
ther street improvements and other
matters special meeting OF the coun-
ell will be held this evening. Frank
Reese, representative of the Warren
Construction company, will be present.
'If further paving is TO be done in
Pendleton we would like to know re-
garding it soon," said Mr.. Reese this
morning. "In case II should be decid-
ed to pave the cross streets we will
leave our plant here until spring. We
were intending to ship the machinery
to Walla Walla, but If another con-
tract can be secured here we will Or
der another plant for Walla Walla
work"
According to Mr.. Reese, this is the
time for ordering further paving. II
such is to be done at all. Now that
the Warren Construction company has
its plant here he declares the addi-
tional work can be done more reason
able than 1t could later, when a plant
would have to be shipped here for the
purpose.
Aside from the street improvement
question there will be several ordi-
nances presented for adoption tonight,
One of these will pertain to the levee
bonds, another will authorize the levee
contract with H. G.. Newport, while
the third will be for the protection of
the levee. Under the terms of the or
dinance parties are prohibited from
taking any rock or earth from the
embankment, from making a drive
way to the levee from the river side,
or any other driveway that will
weaken the levee. The penalty pro-
vided for violation of the ordinance
varies from a fine of from IS to $50,
or Imprisonment from two TO 90 days.

being a.. enthusiastic as the younger
recruits. Probably the decline in the
sport can be attributed to the fact
that at the time roller-skating was
popular everywhere no attempt was
made to improve upon the stereo-
typed style of roller skate. At this
late day, with good prospects of a
boom in the sport, Nebraska in
ventor brings forth a design which
promises a revolution in the con-
struction of roller skates. The ac-
companyinS illustration gives a good
idea of it's form. Two wheels, not
rollers, are used, the wheels being
half a dozen times as large as the
old-fashioned rollers. Connecting
the two wheels in the centre is an
axle about the width of the foot.
Suspended upon the axle is a plate
which supports the shoe in the usual
way. It is claimed that wearers Of
these skates can travel at remark
able speed. Cushion tires are placed
on the wheels, requiring only mini
mum of effort to get over the ground.

thusiastic over his invention as to
imagine that it car be used as sub
stitute for steam or ocean liners of
for sails in the merchant marine, but
is content to suggest its proper
sphere as belonging to pleasure craft
and similar small boats.
Ostensibly the boat is propelled by
wind-wheel Of usual design, geared
in suitable manner, with an ordinary
propeller disposed as usual. AS the
wind may not always be favorable.
as all yachtsmen and few others iap-
preciate, supplementary hand mech
anism is provided, operating very
much like the lever-arm devices OF
the small boys express wagon. When
the wind is favorable, the wind-wheel
is raised and swung around into
proper relation to the breeze, the
hand mechanism being disconnected
temporarily. AS neither sails nor
oars ara utilized. the inventor thinks
he has reduced the possibilities of
capsizing to q minimum, even though
the boat be in the hands of unSkilled

A Rich Brother.

Mr.. Dwight l.. Moody used to tell
of a young man he knew OF who
went into business in one of our
Western towns. The people thought
he was sure to fail; but he did not.
After he had been going along for
some years, showing no signs OF fall
ing. it was discovered that he had a
brother in the East who was very
rich, and who helped him along from
time to time.
Just so is it with us in the Chris
tian life; we have an Elder Brother
who is very rich, and, Joined in part
nership with Him, He will help us
to hold out. Joined to Christ we are
in alliance with. One who is not only
able but willing to give us all needed
grace and strength. "They that trust
in the Lord shall not want any good
thing" "God is our refuge and
strength, very present help IN

A Dcsdliead.

Francis Wilson was talking at the
Players Club about the ignorance OF

writer in the Springfield (Mo.) Re-

seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
q builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in q physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and ex-
perience many Of ther- gained won

critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just a. ture so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods OF
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to fin6 them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies e1-
pressly designed to cure the various
Ills and weaknesses Of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi.
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was rare -bina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses Aecu-

hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as a
labor Of love. -.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen-
nial year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's

A certain prominent minister was
