The $4,000 fund for Pendleton
academy, the extension of the portage
road, the opening of the Willamette
river, Senator Heyburn's anti-terminal
rate bill, and other matters of mo-
ment were handled at the monthly
meeting OF the Commercial associa-
ton last night.
Upon the subject of the sustenta-
ton fund for the Pendleton academy,
Rev. H. P. Knight, financial agent,
made a report of the progress met
with by him up to that time. He said
practically $4,000 of the amount would
be forthcoming from outside people,
while at least $4,000 had been already
subscribed by local men.
Following Rev. Knight President
Cohen called upon the various asso-
Citations members present for sugges-
tions as to how the amount should be
secured. Lee Teutsch was the first
to respond and he acquitted himself
in his usual capable manner.
81 am not much on the talk" said
he, "but I believe 1t is a matter OF
great Importance to Pendleton to
raise this money, especially after
man who has no interests here what
ever has gone so far as to offer US
$4,000 If we raise a like amount.
For my part I will subscribe the sum
of $3.50"
Monte B. Gwinn, president of the
Savings bank, and G. NJ. Rice, cashier
of the First National, were next
called upon. Both men earnestly IA
vored the proposition and each had
already pledged his bank for the sum
of $500. Later in the evening both
added to that with personal subscrip-
tions.
After some discussion it was de-
cided to name a committee of six,
with President Cohen chairman, to
solicit subscriptions for the fund. The
following were appointed by the
chair: DIR. C. ]. Smith, G. NJ. Rice. NJ.
B. Gwinn, Lee Teutsch and ]. ".
Tallman.
During the regular business meet
ing of the association reports for the
past month were received, that of the
gymnasium management showing a
slight profit during the month. APP
plications for membership were re-
ceived from H. w. Collins and ]. II.
Mitchell, both being elected by accla-
nation.
The following resolutions were
adopted by the association, all being
carried unanimously:
Extension Of the Portage.
Recognizing the great benefits
which come to the inland empire
through the operation of the portage
road and the boat lines on the upper
Columbia and Snake rivers, and be-
lieving that these benefits may be in
creased by the extension of the port
age road from its present terminus at
Three Mile rapids to The Dalles,
where all the boat lines from Port
land regularly connect; therefore be
II
Resolved, That Pendleton CONNER
cial association favors the immediate
extension of the portage road to The
Dalles where it may connect with the
regular boat lines, and from which
point it will be able to secure more of
the river traffic of the inland empire
thereby enhancing its value to the
people and making 1t a more useful
factor in the navigation of the Colum-
bia river.

An Experiment That Failed.

An enterprising citizen OF White
Plains. N. Y, was much impressed a
year or SO ago by the clamor raised by
New York health officers and newspa-
pers over the need of pure milk. and
conceived the idea that the public de-
mand for an absolutely pure product
was such that any price would be
paid. Being well supplied with money
he therefore established dairy.
which he made the cleanest and most
sanitary in the world. He got together
the finest possible herd OF COWS. with
their health duly certified, and had
them milked in concrete barns by
white-frocked, white-aproned, highly
paid mixers. Then he charged Is
cents quart for the milk, but did not
find as many customers as he expect
ed. though he advertised extensively.
The venture did not pay. and now he
is giving 1t up. though 1t cost him
nearly million dollars. II people
want pure milk henceforth they may
get 1t without his assistance. He has
found what many have found before
him. that few persons will go above
the market price for commodities,
even to get the best
