primary election used poor judgment
in the light of figures just uncovered
in the capitol here which shows that
the best job in the whole state was
not on the list for competition
The Job itself is not much for

of credit attached to its position, but
for drawing down the little monthly

The job is that of state architect
held by a Spokane man, j. X. Dow,

more than the combined salaries of

WEDGED IN WINDOW BY MERRY WIDOW

dow sill when standing on tip-toe, but
they were long on muscle.
All went we'll until one pretty miss
attempted to join her companions in
the building without first removing
her Merry Widow.
The hat was one of the most stylish
sort-the brim might have been used
as an indoor sprinting trick-eight
laps to the mile. 1t became wedged
in the window and the basketball can
didate could get neither further nor
back.
Her comrades came to the rescue.
They pulled, they showed, they tugged
and they pushed. They laughed and
they gggled, they screamed and they
yelled, but It was not until the hat
pins were finally removed that the
young lady was able to get her feet
on terra firma. Then the hat was
jammed inside. The owner followed
and peace reigned.

behind closed doors an order was Is
sued by the mayor this morning and
placed in the hands of Chief of Po-
lice Gurdane, instructing him to see
that all bawdy house women are re-
moved from the one-story buildings
and the ground floors Of the two story
buildings on Cottonwood street, that
the lattice work fences in front
Of these houses be torn down.
The order goes into effect october /,
or one week from today
It is believed that the order COM
pelling these women TO move up
stairs will make 1t impossible for boys
and young men to loiter about such
places and that 1t will result in the
tearing down Of the old wooden
shacks along Cottonwood street and
the erection OF brick buildings. II is
certain that the row Of little old cribs
must be torn out and the rooms on
the lower floors Of the two two story
structures must be torn out so these
floors cannot be used for bawdy house
purposes.

By holding a star chamber session,
ordering a moving day for a large
part of the red light district slaugh-
terinR the mix ordinance and passing
a sweeping prohibition ordinance, the
Pendleton city council last evening
broke away from the regulation rou-
tine meeting and went on record in
more ways than one.
Soon after the meeting was called
to order and the minutes read and
approved, the prohibition ordinance,
nearly an exact duplicate of the state
statute, with an emergency clause at
tached. making it go into effect at
once, giving the city police the same
powers as are possessed by the coun-
ty officers, was brought up and
passed. Mayor Murphy Immediately
affixed his signature to the measure,
which is now one of the laws of the
city.
Milk Ordinance Killed.
The ordinance committee then re-
ported the milk ordinance with the
recommendation that II be not pass
ed and the report was unanimously
adopted the death knell OF the meas
ure being thereby sounded without
one word OF discussion or comment,
those present being left absolutely in
the dark as to the reason for the
shelving of the proposition. Drs.
Cole and Mcclure were both pres
'ent prepared to speak in favor of the
measure and to say they were greatly
chagrined and disappointed when the
ordinance was killed without their
having been given a chance To be
heard would be stating II mildly.
DR. Cole declares the ordinance was
clearly and absolutely meritorious
measure that It's passage would have
been To the best interest Of the pub
lie and the dairymen alike. that no
expense would have resulted 10 cith-
er the dairymen or the public and
he fails to see any good reason why
It should not have been made a law
at once.
Pure Milk of Vital Importance
"Why that ordinance is OF far more !
Importance to the city of Pendleton !
at the present tine than any street
car franchise or the discussion of the !
red light district" declared the city |
physician, with some show of indig-1
nation. "The question of a pure milk /
supply Is of vital Importance and |
cannot understand why it was turned !
down without any discussion or any
reason being given"
The doctor then proceeded to cite
instances in this city where children
are now suffering from tuberculosis
from, as he believes, the use of milk
from tubercular cows
Or. Mcclure was equally as en-
phatc in his statements concerning
the ordinance and the action of the
council in killing It. He said the
chances were very strongly in favor
OF Pendleton waking up some day to
find itself in the grip of an epidemic
which could be traced directly to an
impure milk supply and for which
the council could hold itself respon-
soble.
Why IL Was Killed.
When seen this morning. members
of the council gave as their reason
for tabling the ordinance that 1t was I
a larger proposition than they could {
handle. They declared that every |
of the council believed the !
to be a good thing and were {
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-09-24

in favor of its passage, but that they
feared its passage at this time would
work a hardship upon some local in
terests without giving the relief de-
sired. They say It would be useless
for the city to attempt to regulate its
milk supply until some action along
this line Is taken by the state, which
they believed would be done at the
next session of the legislature. 1t
was cited for instance that one Echo
dairyman is shipping several gallons
OF cream TO this city and that If an
attempt were made to compel him
to have his cows inspected he would
probably refuse and ship his cream
to Portland or some other point. II
was, therefore stated by one member
of the ordinance committee that this
measure would be preserved and as
soon as the state took some action
along the line, it would be immediate
~ passed by the council.
DR.. Coles answer to the above ar
gument is that If the Echo mans
cream is free from tuberculosis. the
market here would be Just as open
to him as before and If not free we
would not want it here under any cir
cumstances.

Pool Rooms and Billiard ParIors.

Another question discussed at the
star chamber session was the prob
lem presented by the existence of bill
lard parlors and pool rooms. One
councilman declared this morning that
the evils Of these places and the prob
lens they present 20 the council for
solution are greater than those pre-
sented by the near beer" joints.
The ordinance which had for its
object the licensing of the near beer"
houses was not brought up at the reg
ular session Of the council last eve
ming and while it was discussed brief
ly at the session behind closed doors,
it is not believed that any further ef-
fort will be made to pass it, at least
in its present form.

read a petition, signed by a number OF
property owners, asking that the

explanation that the people who had
employed him were in earnest I'm the
matter and prposed to have the bawdv
houses removed. He said. however
that they did not wish to usurp tho
powers of the council and preferred
to give the members of that body an

An Indian Play.

Northern Lights was the play by the Earl Burgess company at Dream land last night. No better play has ever been written with the American Indian as the subject. The story is a fascinating and powerful one and fair ly grips the interest of the audience. The last act shows realistic picture of little garrison of United States cav. airy, holding at bay a band of Sioux Indians, just after the Custer massa ere. The intensity of the scene is re- markable.
 The company took advantage of some splendid opportunities. C. c. Miller had a difficult role as ''Dr. Sherwood l" and his work was of high order. Miss Knight made a splendid Helen Dare, Miss Bronridge was charming as the Little Major,' the pet of the regiment. There was a sincere and con. vincing piece of acting by Walter Per cival as Wallace Cray and Jimmie Mack was a good "Lieutenant Sher wood Miss Hattie Grantley, as Flor. tHtt tDhtiNpth oA d NlN tuR role, and George w. Haley as 'Colonel Gray" was the true military martinet. Starlight, an Indian girl, was play ed in picturesque fashion by Adelaide Rothe, and the educated young Indian, "yohn Swiftland,' was in the capable hands of Louis Lytton, who gave the part splendid, quiet intensity.
 A big hit last night was the acting and songs of Adelaide Rothe, who is an added vaudeville feature. She is a most magnetic little person and makes one think of Anna Held and Eva Tan quay, rolled into one. She carried the house by storm.
 Northern Ligbtsn will be repeat ed tonight and tomorrow night Thurs day and Friday nights will mark the performance of Darkest Russia" a story of the great exile system, from the pen of Grattan Donnelly.
 The latter part of the week, "Dan- gers of Working Girls" will be pre- sented. This play is said to be the most daring melodrama ever written.

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Iris.

The Dreyfus Case' is the name of the big leader which began running at the Iris last night, stirring series of pictures that give far more elo- quently than the tongue could tell the most thrilling story of modern times the cruel and long-continued persecu- tion of young soldier of France be. cause of his religion. The story of Dreyfus, from the time he was dis graced as a French soldier to be sent into exile to Devils Isand--well named for its horrors--to the discom- fture of Esterhazy, the arch.plotter, through pressure of public opinion, led by Zola, the great French author, the breaking up of the army clique, the vindiction of the terribly wronged pris- oner and his return to honors with a promotion in the army, are all told by the swiftly flying film pictures in a manner that makes so instructive a les. son that it should not be missed by any one.
 The bill also includes "The Haunted Castle" a trick picture that conyulsed the audience last night and will do so again every time it is presented, and there were two especially pleasing illus trated songs by Billy Cummings, the popular vocalist, who is always greet ed with applause.
 It is strong bill at the Iris this week, instructive and amusing, and none should miss it.
