TWO WOMEN PULL HAIR ON STREET

Two women fighting will never fail
to draw crowd and an episode of
that kind which occurred on Court
street this morning was no exception
to the rule, About the middle of the
forenoon today business men and
travellers in the region of the corner
of Court and Cottonwood streets
were startled at a noise like fe-
male fight. The participants were
Mrs. Mary Coffey, well known resi-
dent of East Court. and Mrs. Harry
Gibson, whose husband won fame a
year or more ago by unfortunately
impersonating a federal officer. What
the fuss was about is a matter which
concerns the ladies involved.

With $3420 already subscribed to-
wards the fund for the publicity bu-
reau and more money being secured
each day, prospects for the advertis-
ing bureau are bright. That fund
of at least $4,000 can be secured is
now believed by the committee and
the members are working hard to
raise that amount.
Every cent of the money subscribed
ed up to this time is being given by
Pendleton people or business concerns
and much more money will yet be
raised here. Then a considerable
amount is expected from the other
towAe of the co4nty all of which VIII

section of the county, is now ready

heavy contributions will be made by
the people of that section.
The following is a detailed list OF
the subscriptions to date:
Twenty-Five dollars a month-Pen-

For the Future.
In soliciting funds for the bureau
the committee argues that in order
for Umatilla county and Pendleton to
keep even with other sections in the
matter of development it is necessary
for good systematic publicity work to
be carried on. From this advertising
they do not claim that results will be
forthcoming within a week nor even
within a few months. On the other
hand, the bureau is put forth as ana
investment for which returns in rhe
form of settlers and new enterprises.

In soliciting subscriptions each man
or business concern is asked for a
certain amount scheduled by the COM
mittee and in most cases the amounts
asked for have been given. Business
