BREAKFAST FOOD FACTORY
FOR PENDLETON POSSIBLE

That a breakfast food factory for
Pendleton is a possibility should PEN
dleton's boosters unite upon the pro-
ject after the woolen mills have sue
cessfully been secured for this city Is
the opinion of E. w. McComas, who
has been investigating the plan. Mr..
McComas believes that as. this city is
the center of a great grain growing
industry such mill would be Of great
advantage both to the promoters and
to the growers of the county
Much Umatilla wheat is sent annu-
ally to the east, where 1t is manufac-
tured into breakfast foods, and II is
the opinion of experts in the business
that blue stem and sonora from this
county are especially adapted to that
purpose. Other prominent men, be-
sides Mr. McComas. are interested in
the idea and it is quite proable that
after the woolen mills are assured
steps will be taken to interest capital
in such an industry here.

phenomenally successful drama Of
American life for over 500 nights at
the Princess and Days theaters, New
York, to such unprecedented business
that a road tour was out of the ques-

European vs. American Coke in Mexico

European W. american NOke III heNlCU
The Mexican Herald publishes the
following from Tampico in reference
to the importation of European coke
into Mexico:
A large consignment of English
coke is arriving at this port for the
Compania Fundidora de Fierro y
Acero Of Monterey The first cargo
arrived on November by the steam
ship Harley, and consisted of 1000
tons, which is the largest coke cargo
ever brought here from Europe There
will be several thousand tons more to
follow during the next 30 days.
Practically all the coke consumed
in Mexico is supplied from the United
States, in normal times, as owing to
the greater cost of transportation from
producers are not able to compete with
producers of this article in the United
States. A few years ago, during an
extended strike in the coal fields Of the
United States, considerable coke was
imported here from Germany, and 1t
IL probably due to the fact that ship
pink is very light all over the world,
and has been for months past, that
transportation lines are forced, in or
der to employ their tonnage, to take
on business which in ordinary times
would not be attractive; and through
this means producers Of coke on the
other side are enabled to secure rates
by which they can place their product
in this country in competition with
that from ovens nearer to the con-
sumers.

WESTERN MILITARY DRAMA
FOR SUNDAY NIGHT

"The Lieutenant and the Cowboy" ="
the new western military drama.
which comes to the oregon theater
next sunday night. December %,
should not be confounded With the
ordinary clap-trap melooama. for
this is play of sterling worth and is
presented by an extremely capable
company. No better play can possi-
bly, be offered Pendleton theatergoers
this season. for the simple reason that
nothing superior has been written.
THE Lieutenant and the Cowboy" is
tense, heart thrilling drama, but so
sanely blended that the complete
story clings in ones mind long after
the performers are forgotten. 1t Is
by no means a gun" play. but two
shots being fired during the four acts,
and neither of them In view of the
audience. 1t is, on the contrary. a
strictly high-grade production well
worth the attention of our most crlti-
cal theatergoers.

LOCAL PEOPLE
SHOPPED EARLY.
GRADUAL TRADING MARKED
PERIOD JUST CLOSED
Holiday Business Was Good and
Stocks Well Cleared Away, But
Economic Conditions Had Deter
cent Effect-Early Shopping Bene-
fitted Merchants and shoppers
Alil<e-Business Men Satisfied.

Because local people needed the
advice to do their Christmas shopping
early there was less of a jam than
usual in the stores yesterday, Instead
of delaying trading until the last min
ute as customary scores of people had
done their purchasing by slow degrees
during the two weeks preceding
Christmas eve.
ut was pleasant TO have the trad
ing more evenly distributed, said one
local merchant last evening. 1--WE
were able to attend to their needs
themselves had more time in which
to look over goods. Then those who
came early had the advantages of see
ing the complete stocks"
The fact that much early shopping
was done this year is largely due to
the efforts made towards this end by
the local press and by the store peo-
pie themselves. All during the holi-
day season shop keepers have invited
customers to look over their goods
carry ana lHt duNlCe NdS ldhtu ny
many. The result was beneficial to
customers and to merchants alike.
Though the holiday shopping i'm
Pendleton was good this year it was
not as lively as it has been at times
in the past. 1t was scarcely antici-
pated that there would be a heavy
holiday business. 1t was feared that
the fact that this county received ap-
proximately $1,OOO,OOO less than usual
for the wheat and wool yields would
have an effect upon the holiday busi-
ness.
Accordingly merchants went light
when they made their holiday pur-
chases and this fact in itself had some
thing to do with the otal volume OF
business.
However no complaints are heard
from merchants but on the other
hand shopkeepers declare themselves
thoroughly satisfied with the result.
Holiday stocks were we'll cleaned out
and this is especially true of the bet
ter class of holiday goods.
