Continuous Vollcy OF Pistol Shots
Break Stiffness of Night-Whistles
Blow and Bells Ring.

With the accustomed gaiety the

last night When the hands of the
clock pointed to IL the dancers at
the big library ball stopped to ex-
change greetings while at two of the
churches, the Methodist and the
Church of the Redeemer, appropriate
services were being held.
Out on the streets a continued vol
ley of pistol shots broke the stiffness
of the midnight air and incidentally
the shooting aroused some anxiety
lest bullets might fall uncomfortably
close to pedestrians. However no
haneful effects have been reported.
AS is customary on such holidays
all the stores of the city, excepting
cigar stands and few other shops,
have been closed all day. The bar
Der shops were open during the fore
noon while the postal people were at
work from 9 o'clock until 10.
This afternoon the football game
between Pendleton's former gridiron
stars and the La Grande team con-
stitutes the only public "doings."

the strain of the added horrors many
refugees from Sicilian and Calabrian
towns, devastated by the quake, have
committed suicide. Numerous cases
are reported today from the military
headquarters in the stricken cities.

throngs are hunger crazed. Men, wo-
men and children surround the dis
tributing stations clamoring for
bread

famished wretches armed with stones,
bricks, pieces of wood and iron bars,
attacked soldiers, two of whom were
killed. Many of the mob were bay
oneted and the children and women

Building Needs.

But what Pendleton needs worse
in the building line" declared Archi-
tect T. F. Howard this morning, lis
some apartment houses or flats. There
is a greater demand for such build
ings at this time than for either addi-
tional business blocks or residences.
There are many people here, rail-
road men and others, who are con-
stantly seeking flats or apartments,
They want two or three rooms, mod
ernly equipped with bath, ETC., and
they want them close in. If some Of
these men who have centrally located
property and also have money with
which to build would erect modern
flats or apartment houses they would
have no difficulty in renting them"
AS prediction for the coming year,
Mr., Howard declares that reinforced
concrete blocks will furnish the most
popular building material in this city,
as we'll as elsewhere.

The all-around man tries to be
square with the world.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-01-01

Counting the building work that
has been done here during the past
year and what it in immediate pros
pect Pendleton has practically a quar-
ter of million dollars worth of new
buildings to it's credit.
Although general business condi-
tions have not been favorable to ex-
tensive building during 1908, yet dur
ing that time Pendleton has erected
fine new city hall, several other
business structures and a number Of
very handsome residences.
The handsome building of w. S.
Bowman ranks next to the city hall
as the most important building of the
year. Then the Mccormack garage
is a valuable addition to the town,
while the Jones building, replacing
the one burned down last summer. is
the largest machinery building in east
ern oregon.
For the coming year the federal
building and the new o. R. & n. de-
pot promise to lead in the matter OF
Importance. The sum of $4,000 has
been set aside for the construction of
the federal building and now that the
government has selected a site, con-
struction work will doubtless be un.
dertaken within a few months.
That the new depot building will
also be started soon is promised by
the railway officials, though no con-
tract has yet been let.
Aside from these two buildings the
Christian church people will erect a
$40, 900 edifice on the north side of
the river and new wooden mill build
ings will be erected this spring and
1t is estimated their cost will reach
S1S, 600. Then the Alta House is now
being rebuilt, w. s. Byers will erect
I new stone warehouse; plans are be-
ng drawn for remodeling the Golden
Rule hotel; new theater is a posi-
oility for the year and there will
doubtless be other business struc-
ures erected.
