in the morning, making Pendleton

Property owners and business men
of this city are to be given another
chance to subscribe to publicity
fund for the city and county and
those who favor a publicity bureau
are now hopeful that better results
may be secured.
1t Is now desired 20 have individ-
uals subscribe personally to the fund
between now and May Z, the date up
on which the real estate men Of the
county are to gather here.
In order to once more lay the sub
feet before the property owners OF
the city, d. B. Costume. Pendleton
manager for the Columbia Land
company, has addressed the follow
ing letter to nearly 100 OF the city's
leading property owners:
Pendleton, May l, 1s0S.-Dear Sir:
The real estate men OF Umatilla
county will hold a meeting at the
Commercial club on Thursday even
ing, May 7, at 0 p. m, for the pur-
pose OF discussing and definitely
planning an active publicity cam
paign In behalf OF the city of PEN
dleton and Umatilla county.
1t Is needless to set forth the ad-
vantages that Umatilla county pos
sesses for homeseekers. as we all
know too well that with proper at
tention. we are destined 10 be the
-gon.
While other cities in our state have
been bending every effort to adver-
tise to the public OF the United States
their resources and possibilities, we
have been practically sitting supinely
by, doing nothing, Notwithstanding
the fact that we can boast of greater
possibilities than any city In Oregon.
The time is ripe for decisive action
and as the real estate men of this
county are spending their time and
their money, It cannot be considered
In any other light than an injustice
that we do not receive the financial
support of the property owners OF
this community.
There are no considerations, po-
litical. economic or otherwise that
should In any sense act as an excuse
or tend TO retard the progress OF our
city, and as the advancement OF the
real estate value depends entirely on
the development and colonization OF
our uncultivated lands, you owe II to
yourself and to the community in
general TO aid in this movement.
The business men are only too will
ing to help in this publicity campaign,
but as you are property holders are
the greatest gamers. It is not fair to
expect either the business men or the
real estate men to bear the entire
burden.
AS has been set forth. the fund
collected is to be spent by the Com
mercial association under their abb
solute and strict orders. and not one
dollar is to be spent for any purpose
other than for the benefits OF the city
Of Pendleton and the towns adjacent
thereto.
IT is to be sincerely hoped that you
will forward to Mr.. r. r. Wilcox. be-
fore Thursday, May Z, your month
ly subscription for whatever sum you
can afford so that when the real es-
tate men have gathered, they may
feel assured, by the showing you will
have made that the motive for pub
lioity is sincere above all other con-
sideraticns.

MAN is MISSING.
Parents Believe Frank Roles Has
Committed Suicide.

Frank Roles, formerly Of this city,
is now missing from his home In Port
land, and It is the expressed belief of
the young mans father that he has
committed suicide by jumping into
the willamette river.
Several days ago a warrant charg-
ing Roles with collecting insurance
money without authority was issued
for him In Portland. When a patrol
man visited the Roles home at 1896
East Yamhill street, young Roles dis
appeared through a back door and
evaded the officer.
Since that time, April 20, Roles has
not been seen nor heard from and the
father declares his belief that the fear
OF arrest and humiliation drove his
son to kill himself
Roles is charged with taking $3.50
from a man named Shirley upon an in
surance' policy In the United States
Health and Accident company. which
concern he had no authority to repre-
sent. Since that time the money was
refunded to Shirley by the elder
Roles.

Let the house be bright and cheer ful at Christmas. with plenty of holly and mistletoe distributed throughout If there is a chandelier in the dining room have it hung with evergreens and holly and from that carry long ropes of greens to each corner of the room, thus forming a canopy for the table Fasten wreaths at all the wi
 dows. Red and green is most appro- priate for the Christmas table. In the center place a bowl filled with red carnations surrounded with holly, and four single candles in silver or glass sticks with scarlet shades to further carry out the bright and cheering color scheme. At each place have miniature Christmas tree to which place cards are tied with narrow, red ribbon If preferred the centerpiece may also be tree of a larger size. Boxes representing Santa Claus and filled with bonbons make appropriate souvenirs, for the possession of a "sweet tooth" Is by no means confined to the extremely juvenile.

These are the peanut creams and chocolates that are now in such high favor To attain this mas terpiece take son9e peanut butter, and. after salting it slightly, shape it into the forms desiredN Some of these may be rolled in fondant and served plain; others may be covered with chopped nut meats; some may be dipped into melted chocolate, or\ they may be treated in any manner that the in- genuity of the amatel3E candymaker may suggest. In any foSm, however, they are quite as deliciou4 as the can dies that are sold in stores,
 4 fruit and nut delicacy Il bat cannot fail to appeal to the houA Aewife at Christmas time is made by cAopping cup of nut meats with two celpfuls of dates, half cupful of figs, aAd half cupful of Maraschino cherrifs that have been drained free frort liquor When chopped, and they should not be chopped too fine, mold Unto the shapes desired. and dip each Hiece into a syrup made by boiling halfI a pound of sugar with half pint of water until it will harden like candy. Slices of orange or pineapple, and dates. figs or any kind of nuts may be coated in the same manner.
 Now that maple sugar may be ob- tained without great difficulty an ex- eellent candy may be made by boiling three cupfuls with a cupful and a half of sweet milk and half a tablespoons ful of butter for about ten minutes. At the expiration of this time beat with 3 spoon until the mixture is both creamy and thick. It may then be spread in buttered tins to cool or, for the sake of variety, the candy may be divided into three equal portions, one part to be served plain, anothe- mixed with nuts, and the third with chopped candied cherries.
 Salted nuts are now so great a favorite that no elaborate dinner would seem complete without them
 As ordinarily prepared, however, the saIting of nuts is quite a serious task, but if the cook desires to save time in l cooking them she may attain the same result more easily by dropping them into a kettle of deep fat-lard by preference-and letting them remain from 10 to 15 minutes. When done
 they must be drained thoroughly be- fore being salted to taste, and they will be found to be just as palatable as the nuts that have been prepared by the far more laborious process. If you are in search of a novelty, in- stead of salting all the nuts for the i Christmas dinner, try the experiment of "brandying" some of them To do this, soak the nuts for about 36 hours in brandy-French brandy, peach brandy or appleiack will do-then l cover them with thin fondant, or merely roll them in powdered sugar 1 The result will be hailed with delight.

 Useful Christmas Presents.
 Year by year it grows more the GUS tom to make Christmas presents just as useful as possible. While expense is not considered so material as it used to be it is important that the gifts should be useful as well as or. namental. This is as it should be. Here again electricity finds a useful field. The development of the electric heating and cooking devices has add ed host of valuable and useful things which are always acceptable Christ mas gifts. The electric chafing dish, electric shaving mug and electric cof- fee percolator will be numbered among the most conspicuous of use- ful Christmas presents.

 This year will see less money vast ed for useless trinkets than ever be- fore.
