CONTEST FOR QUEEN
TO RAISE THE COST
At Special Meeting Commercial AS
ISOLATION Last Night G. B. Thom-
as Presented Plan and Same Was
Adopted-Committee of Five Now
At Work on Plans-F1oat Will Al
so BE Used at Seattle Fair.

At special meeting of the Com
mercial association held last evening
it was decided to arrange for a PEN
dleton float at the coming Portland
rose show. A float costing $400 will
be arranged for and in order to raise
the necessary money it is proposed
to pull off contest for the purpose
of selecting a queen of the float.
When the special meeting was call
ed to order last evening President
VIII Moore called upon G. B. Thom-
as, representative of the rose show,
to explain the nature of his mission.
In a concise little talk, Mr. Thomas
told of the plans for making the rose
show a greater festival tina min the
past and stated that it was desired to
have the cooperation of the other
towns of the state. He presented a
sketch of a float proposed for Pen
dleton and said that while it would
cost $500 the rose show corporation
would bear half the expense provid-
ing the people of Pendleton met the
remainder.
After the plan had been presented,
r. Alexander W. l.. Thompson and
others present, spoke in favor of its
adoption. Mr.. Alexander moved that
a committee of five be named to ar
range for securing the float, President
Moore TO have the Craftsmanship. This
motion carried. However, Mr.. Moore
asked to be excused from the COM
mittee and named the following for
members of the comittee: w. L..
Thompson, Fred Earl, NJ. A. RAIDER. ].
v Tallman and Dean Tatom. Mr..
Thompson then asked that Mr.. RAIDER
be made the chairman.
For Seattle Fair Also.
The float proposed for Pendleton
will be emblematc of the resources
of this county and will be very attrac-
tive, 1t will be 22 feet lond and 10
feet high. The central piece of the
float will be a sheep driven by the
queen of the float who will be seated |
high upon a throne backed by a can
opy of growing wheat. According to
Mr.. Thomas the float will also be
shipped to Seattle for use in the pa
rade on Oregon day during the A.-Y.-
p. exposition.
Furthermore moving picture films !
of the rose show parade will be taken |
and these will be shown in the Ore
gon building during the Seattle ex-
position. After the show is over the |
float will become the property of
Pendleton and may be used here in
connection with the district fair or
upon other occasions.

The bids Were referred to the street
committee but as Belts was much

Elk0 Public Schools

The public school has just finished
the most satisfactory school month
since the coming of the present prin-
cipal. The daily attendance has been
better; the general work of the pupils
has been more thorough, and the future
outlook is more bright than in any pre-
vous beginning month in the last three
years. We trust thaC the month of
October will be continuation of this
splendid record.
The new schoolhouse is being rapidly
built, and when completed will be the
finest in the state. The pupils and
teachers feel very grateful to the citizens
of Elko for this marked sign of common
interest in the growing girls and boys.
There is no better incentive to do good
work than such splendid physical con-
ditions as this new building will afford.
The First grade has enrolled 33 of the
brightest little lads anu lasses in the
district, but there are several who are
not yet in attendance In order to enable
the teacher to do her best work it will
be necessary for all those who wish TO
enter the present class to enroll at OF Co.
The class will be closed to those who
have never attended school after Mon
day the 18th of October A new class
will be started the first of February.
Total enrolment to date 1854.

and gasping. he ran along the street to
find doctor. Seeing him running, Il
dog took after him and bit him in the
leg, and the yell the boy gave sent the
button flying out of his mouth and ten
feet away. 1t is cheaper to be bitten
by dog than to pay the doctors.
Principal McWhinney has an inter
esting article in this issue on public
school matters. Parents, especially
those whose children are not yet in
school, should read it. There used to
be parents in Elko who kept their
children out of school to crafty their
frivolous whims and then find fault
with the teachers because they did not
get along i'll their studies. But that
was twenty years or more ago and
many of the parents of to-day were the
children then. They should profit by
their past experience.

scheme which is quite effective in
driving them away. When one Of these
boarders arrives on the scene we can

the receiving ward solemnly undressed
and laid upon the operating table,
where q fake examination takes place.
The trouble is finally located in the
spine and an immediate operation is
advised. The patient writhes, protest
ing that he feels much better, but is
not permitted to leave. Meanwhile a
piece Of ice has been sharpened to u
point and suddenly, without warning,
the ice is drawn down the boarders
back. With q yell he is off the table,
out of the room and out of the building.
We throw his clothes out. after him,
