MAIN Street IMPROVEMENT
Athena Business Houses Dressing Up

The spirit Of Improvement has struck

work started last week, when painters

moved next door to the Barrett build
ings, and the Barrett hardware store
and the Taggart grocery were speedily
repainted, and the front of Dell Bros.

this building re-painted, the entire
clock on the south side Of the street
presents spick, span appearance. for
thu other buildings were newly paint
ed last season.
But the painting Of the building
fronts is by no means the only i'm
provement made Henry Barrett took
the initiatory in the removal of signs
spanning from buildings to sidewalk
overhead, the result being that every
sign in the block is now where 1t
should be- attached to the front Of
the buildings.
The infection spread across the street
struck Henry Keen. and he employed
the Kidder painters to polish up the

NO SESSION NOW
Excepting Normal School, Eastern
Oregon Fared Well at Hands
of Legislature.

Representative Barrett returned from
Salem Tuesday evening. and with the
exception of treatment accorded the
Normal schools is of the opinion that
Eastern Oregon Jared we'll at the hands
of the legislature.
Mr.. Barrett is the author of the por-
tege road extension bill. which with
tie coyote bounty, branch insane asy-
lum bill and others is classed Eastern
Oregon legislation. He does not look
for an extra session to take place in
the near. future, aud said there is a
bare possibility of correction of errors
beiSg made without necessity for hold
ing an exta session to rectify mistakes
which were made by the senate aud
committees, and not through fault of
the house, as has heen stated.
AS reported. the need OF a special
session arose from the failure of Rep
resentatives Bonebrake and Farrell to
report TO the house the finding of a
conference committee appointed Fri
Gay last to fix up controversy be-
tween the two bouses over the item of
FIRE protection for the main insane
asylum building amounting to
$4,000 This failure resulted in the
senate passing the bill and the house
another, neither of which is now effec-
tive. President Bowerman has refused
to sign the enrolled bill because of the
discrepancy, and unless the legislature
meets for few minutes and correots
the error the state institutions will be

ROY THORNTON LOSES
LIFE IN JACKSONVILLE
Playful Scuff1e Started By
Companion Ends in a
Tragedy.

Mr.. Roy Thornton, formerly resi-.
dent of Marietta and with many friends
here, lost his life in Jacksonville, Fla,
Friday night as the result Of difficult
ty which was started as a playful scuf-
file among some of his young compan.
ions, while riding in a hack around
the automobile drive.
Four young men were in the hack,
among them one named George Gee
who had engaged the vehicle and was
taking the others on the ride.
At one point where Mr.. Thornton
could have most conveniently taken
the car home he tried to leave, but Gee
insisted that he go on.
In the course of the drive Gee began
playfully striking the other young
men with the whip and it is said finally
cut at them with his knife. 1t is said
that one Of the young men was cut in
the face by Gee who had a pistol.
Walking around the hack he came
upon Mr.. Thornton and shot him in
the breast. Mr.. Thornton, it is said,
had throughout the whole affair acted
as a peacemaker. He was taken in an
ambulance to the home of his father
Mr.. S. G. Thornton, where he died
about ten o'clock Saturday. Gee il

self-defense.
