GATHER
TO LOOK AT MARS

Los Angeles.-Next month Mars
will be closer to the earth than 1t will
be in the next is years. and eminent
astronomers are gathering at Mount
Wilson observatory from all over the
world to take observations.
Among the scientists now on the
summit are Professor ]. c. Katteyn.
Of Holland, who is working on q map
of the heavens; Professor C. w.
Chamberlain, of Vassar, and Profess
sor B. G.. Abbot, OF the Smithsonian
Institution, Washington. In their
study of the plannet they will use
the new five-foot reflecting telescope
recently installed on the peak.
Numerous photographs of the plan
ct will be taken, the comparative near
ness of the heavenly body making es-
pecially favorable conditions for the
camera work. A new device, called
the long focus, will be attached to,
the great telescope. 1t Is expected
this will enable the scientists to OBJ
tain the best photographs yet secured
of Mars.

WHERE DID THE
INJURED MAN CO?

Men with broken backs and sprain-
ed ankles are not in the habit of jump
ing up and running off while Good
Samaritans are doing all in their pow
er to relieve the suffering of the vic
tins, but this is exactly what hap
pened at the o. r. & n. depot, We'd
nesday night, according to reports in
circulation today.
AS the story runneth, Chief of Po-
lice Gurdane was on his way home at
late hour, on the night in question,
when he was accosted by local freight
and passenger agent Schuyler of the
o. R. & n. The Hartman represen-
tative was greatly preturbel, to say
the least, and summoned the chief in
to the depot to gaze upon the pros
trate form of a man who had fallen
from the top of load of ties and sus-
tained a broken back and sprained
ankle. Seeing visions of damage suits
involving the Hartman system, the
agent had made frantic efforts to To-
cate a company physician. The use
of the telephone soon revealed the fact
that DR.. Cole was at the coast, DR..
Vincent at the springs, and DR.. Ringo
out to see a patient. Therefore, fig
uratively speaking the agent was
tearing his hair" while the man, ap-
parently nigh unto death was writing
in agony on the floor.
While the men were trying to de-
eide on what should be done, Schuy-
Ter took the officer to show him where
the man had fallen from the car to
the ground. They were gone very
few minutes and when they returned
to the supposed dying man, they
found he had disappeared. Disap-
peared so completely as if the ground
had opened etc. The most diligent
search failed to reveal his where
abouts and is said that Schuyler Is
now wondering if he was not worked"
while the few friends who have learn
ed of the incident are giving him the
merry ha! hG!

WOOLEN MILL
NEARLY READY
BEST HOUSED PLANT
IN THE NORTHWEST
New Building Arranged to Ensure
Health and Comfort of Employees
As Well As to Do Efficient Work
'Plant VIII Start Slowly" Say
Bishop Bros.

Out at the new woolen mill the
Bishop brothers and their men are
now busy getting the plant into shape
for operation. within a few weeks
the machinery will be started" says
Clarence Bishop, though as in the
case with all new plants the start
will be made slowly. 1t may be sew
eral months before a full crew will
be at work, for the reason that it will
take time to get the machinery into
perfect working order and get the
operation of the mill down to the
proper system"
At this time most of the machinery,
including the cards, the mules and
the looms, are in position on the Sec
ond floor of the new concrete mill
building. However, there is a mass
of detailed work yet to be done to-
wards getting the machinery into
shape for work This is being SUI
pervised personally by Messrs. Clar-
ence and Roy Bishop. Everything is
being done in a thorough and up-to-
date manner so that when the mill is
once in working shape few repairs or
alterations will be needed.
Just now the water and sewer sys-
TENS for the mill are being installed.
The water system will be so arranged
that every pipe in the mill can be
drained and as a result there will be
no dangerous dead ends" The sew
er system will also insure the proper
sanitation of the mill and will work
for the convenience of the employees.
Modern toilets and lavatories will be
provided for men and women em-
ployes. The mill will also be ex-
ceptionally we'll lighted and ventilated.
The sides of the mill are almost en-
tirely devoted to window space. Be-
tween the second and third floors
there will be air passages so that
there will be an excellent circulation
of air throughout the MILL The top
most room will serve to cool the
second floor so that the main work.
room will be comfortable in the sum-
mer time as well as in the winter.

When the plant is ready for opera

When the plant is ready for opera
tion Bishop Bros. will have the best
housed mill in the northwest and one
of the most efficient plants. Prior to
coming to Pendleton both men had
extensive experience in the mill bus
mess and were well informed, both
practically and theoretically, regard
ing the needs of the business.
Through this fact and the good for
tune of having ample funds at their
disposal they have built model
plant
Just east of the main mill building
will be the buildings in which the
"wet work" will be done. These
buildings are of wood and will house
the securing and dying departments
of the mill The mill will scour its
own wool. The water tank for use
in connection with the securing plant
is situated just east of the small
building. The space between these
auxiliary buildings and the main mill
building will be floored. Part of the
flooring is now down and the job is
waiting upon the completion of the
water and sewer systems.
The mill office will be on the first
floor of the building, in the south
east corner. There will be a main
office and a small private office. A
counter has already been made for
the main office and today carpenter
has been engaged in completing fill
ing cupboards for the same.

horses, travelling at brisk trot, up
one of the streets of Pendleton,
made rather an odd sight yesterday.
From all indications the automobile
had broken down out in the country
and the services of the team were
necessary to furnish the necessary

Gathering news in the California
town must be as dull as it is in some
other parts of the world, at present,
judging by the above "story." The
facts in the case are simply that Per-
ry, while looking after timber inter-
ests in southern California, decided
to go on to California and have a
consultation with Young Jerry st.
Dennis, son of Desire st. Dennis, who
died a few months ago, leaving his
property to his recently acquired wife.
The two sons living in this county,
employed Bailey & Perry to contest
the will, alleging that their father
had been made drunk by his wife for
the purpose of getting him to make
the will in her favor. 1t is desired
by the brothers that the third son al
so sign the contesting petition and 1t
is for this purpose that Perry is SEEK
ing him.
There is no foundation for the re-
port that Perry has $4,000, or any
other sum, in trust for the missing
halfbreed.

WOMAN PLEADING FOR
HUSBANDS PARDON

Mrs G. X. Miller has started a
petition to the board of pardons
for the release of her husband from
Walla Walla prison, where he was
sentenced last February for the at
tempted robbery of the w. w. P.
car barns.
Mrs. Miller's plea is that her hus-
band is not guilty and that while
dazed with illness he entered a
plea of guilty in court. She says
he was threatened with dire punish
ment if he did not confess, and be-
fore a lawyer could be secured, she
claims, he entered plea of guilty
and received a sentence of one to
20 years.
She says that if there was an at
tempted hold up her husband was
made the scapegoat, but she doubts
that there was an attempt to hold
up the barn at all.
