Plans for the long-desired rest
room in the city of Pendleton have at
last been matured, thanks to the en-
ergy and efforts of the members of
the Current Literature club, and II
the farmers of the adjacent coun-
try respond to the proposition pre-
sented to them this afternoon, as it
is expected they will, the rest room
will soon be an actuality.
The city has donated a room for
the purpose on the lower floor of the
city hall and aside from furnishing
the services of a janitor will also
light and heat the room. The Cur
rent Literature club, under whose
auspices the room is to be established,
will see that some lady is in attend
ance during the hours II is open and
will also see that fresh towels, soap
and such things, are supplied, as
well as papers and other reading mat
ter.
In addition to these things 1t is
desired to secure about 800 to fur
nish the rooms with tables, chairs
and other furniture, so it will be pos
sible for those who wish to eat their
lunch there. The club has subscrib-
ed s25 to this fund and two members
of the committee are appearing be-
fore the meeting of farmers this az
ternoon in an effort to secure sub
scriptions to make up the s75 ball
ance. These ladies are Mrs. A. ]. Nc
Allister and Mrs. C. A. Johns.
Origin of Movement.
The history Of the agitation for a
rest room in Pendleton dates back a
little more than three years, or to the
time when the first district fair was
provided two rest rooms at that time
for the benefit and convenience of
women from out of the city One
was maintained in the pavilion itself,
while one was in a room of the East
Oregonian building, which had been
donated for the purpose. The extent
to which these were patronized and
the benefits resulting therefrom, caus-
ed the ladies of the city TO realize the
need and consider the establishment
Of permanent rest room for the BEN
efit of the farmers wives and others
who come to the city every day in the
'ear and who have no place to go and
est, when tired, or while waiting for
heir husbands to finish the transac-
ion of business.
Two years ago the movement took
lefinite shape when Mrs. James A.
Zee was placed at the head of it.
The and Mrs. C. F. Colesworthy have
,een tireless workers in its behalf
yer since and at last the results of
heir labors and those of their as
ociates, seem about to be realized.
The room will be arranged so as
o fill the wants of every lady visitor
O the city. In addition to the ac-
ommodations for lunch, reading and
esting, there will be lavatories and
ressing rooms. The place will be
,ept warm in winter and is so locat-
d that it will be cool in summer.
he attendant will also see that ice
'ater and other conveniences are on
and at all times.
