COUNTY PIONEER
DIES SUDDENLY AT FOSTERS

Hermiston, March 1S.-(Special y
Word was received late Friday eve-
ming of the death of w. S. White,
brother of Mrs. ]. r. Means of this
city, which occurred at $3.50 p. m.
at his home near Fosters. The de-
ceased was so years old and had been
a resident of Umatilla county for over
80 years, being a well known rancher
in that locality. Up to the time of his
death he had been sufferer from
a lingering illness, but was not con-
fined to his bed.
On Thursday he worked several
hours pruning in the orchard, but in
the evening had a severe hemorrhage
of the lungs, and altough weak, the
following day he was up attending to
routine duties. His sudden passing
away was due to another hemorrhage.
The deceased was the son of Mr..
and Mrs. w. c. White, pioneers OF
1861, who survive him, and three Sis
ters, two brothers and two sons; his
wife having preceded him several
years ago.
Funeral arrangements will not be
completed until the several relatives
are heard from.

debaters were kept on the anxious
seat until the result of the contest
was announced. Miss Smith, for the
visitors was an especially strong
speaker and ELECTED much applause
for her mastery handling of the sub
ject.
Pendleton,s strong team is advanc-

EAST COURT STREET
WILL BE IMPROVED

East Court street is to be improved,
notwithstanding the fact that the city
council decided some time ago it could
not afford to pay for the improvement
at this time. Tom Thompson took
the "bull by the horns" yesterday and
closed a contract with A. A. Hardin
for the Improvement of the street and
then started out to get the funds to
pay for it.
The work of improving the street
and of securing the money were both
started simultaneously yesterday af-
ternoon and both are progressing with
such success that the road improve
ment is assured and that Mr.. Thomp-
son will not be compelled to pay the
bill himself Farmers, automoblists,
members of the council and the citi-
zens generally are cooperating with
Mr. Thompson.
The portion of the street to be i'm
proved is that extending eastward
from the bridge across the mill race.

Pendleton won its second victory
in debate this season at the Metho-
dist church last evening when the
local team defeated the team from the
Sherman county high school. The de-
cision Of the judges was two to one.
The question discussed was RE
solved. That the state of oregon pro-
vide for a minimum term of six
months of school in each district by

the negative side of the question, the
same on which they won from La
Grande on the same question a few
weeks ago.

Says He Is Violating No Law Be-

Timber-Must Have Been Chased

Down.

Toby Bush, a rancher living on
Birch creek, about half way between
Pilot Rock and Sparks station, is in
the city today telling Of having kill
ed a large elk on his place yesterday
afternoon Though this is the closed
season for elk, Bush insists that he
can not be held accountable for kill
ing the animal because the game code
enacted by the recent legislature an
nulled the old law and is itself de-
fective.
How the big antlered animal ever
managed to wander so far down from
his accustomed haunts IS a mystery
He was miles and miles away from
any timber and must have passed a
score or more Of ranches and farm
houses to get so far out into the open
country. The only theory advanced
so far is that he was chased dowr
from the mountains by dogs during
the night.
six shots were fired before the ami
NAL was brought down. The last one
pierced his heart, but though the 30

gan literally to pieces, he ran for l4'

But we were lucky and made our ar

found they would undertake more
contracts if they could get the help
necessary.
"There Is general satisfaction with
reference to our new president, and
I think present conditions and the
promise of Industrial and commercial
prosperity such as we have never be-
fore enjoyed, not even before the So
called 'financial-flurry, is due in
large measure to confidence in his
