Building Permit Ordinance.

Hereafter no building can be con-
structed, torn down, altered or re-
paired within the city of Pendleton
without a building permit for that
purpose having first been secured, If
the measure introduced last evening
becomes a law. 1t was referred to the
ordinance committee with instructions
to report at the next meeting. AS no
opposition to the proposed ordinance
manifested itself last evening it is pre-
sumed that the measure will have easy
shedding
The purpose of the measure is not
only to regulate the building business
within the city but also to provide a
plan by which valuable statistics can
be secured. At present there is no
way to keep tab on the amount of
business being done in the city and as
this is one of the best advertising fea-
cures in which the city can indulge,
the members of the council have de-
cided to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity.
No Barns Near Dwellings.
Another ordinance was introduced
last evening. This provides that no
barns or stables shall be built within
40 feet of dwelling house and pro-
vides that a violation of the ordinance
may be punished by both fine and
Imprisonment in the city Jail. This
measure was also referred to the or
dinance committee with instructions

The intelligence of the fox Is often
shown by the way he refuses to be
headed when he has made up his mind
as to the safe course to take, says the
London Globe. The West Somerset
have an excellent fixture at Kilve, but
it has one draWback-the sea is not
far off, and foxes naturally often
make for the cliffs, secure refuge. A
fox can be easily headed at times, but
that is nearly always when to be seen
would betray him to his enemies the
hounds ard givS them an advantage;
but when, if he makes his point, the
advantage is on his side, then nothing
will turn him.
To return to the West Somerset at
Kilve; they found a fox, and the whip
perrin, seeing that the fox meant to
so to the cliffs if possible, started to
head him off. The ground was open,
and for half a mile the whipper-in and
fox were taking parallel lines, the fox
clearly meaning to slip by and find
refuge in the cliffs. The man turned
the fox away at last, but in short
time the hounds lost him, and be-
lieve he got back after all.
Again the master ranged up some Of
the field to prevent another fox going
back into a certain covert. In vain
whips were ratified Against saddle
flaps; the fox went right through the
watchers and made his point. 1t n

Land. But Langford persisted He did
not care how he hurt himself. Indeed,
he rather luXuriated in the conscious
ness Of his own pain. 1t was part of
his eXpiation. He realized that he
would have to hurt Katharine, but per-
haps the very keenness of her pain
would make her realize her position,
and he wanted to win her, now that
he had found her and seen her, more
than ever. Nor was his passion a
base one. Again he was ashamed of
what he had already said, so he spoke
the more frankly. He gave no thought
at all to the other man, but if he had,
he would have been glad to hurt him
until he killed him.
