Would Learn of His Birth.

County recorder r. w. Hendley ls
in receipt of letter from William r.
Holton. a newspaper man of Super
ior, Wisconsin. asking him to supply
him with information regarding the
place and date Of his birth. He de-
clares he has been told that he was
born in Pendleton, Oregon, March 4.
1884, but that his natal day may have
been on the 1st End or 3rd of that
month in that year or in the following
year. He states that mis- fathers
name was Albert Holton and that his
mothers maiden name was Charlotte
Jane. AS the county does not keep
records of births for more than two
years back, Mr.. Hendley was unable
to supply the desired information.
Several Of the oldest physicians in the
city were consulted but could not
throw any light on the tangle Of dates.
AS the writer must secure the knowl-
edge in order to correct some import
ant papers, anyone knowing Of the
secret of his birth will undoubtedly
earn the young mans gratitude by
forwarding him the facts in the case.

GUARDSMEN ASK
FOR ASS|STA ANCE

The county court of Umatilla county
Is to be called upon for some financial
support for CO. L. o. n. G. Realizing
the value of a national guard company
to the young manhood of the COM
munity. the Pendleton Commercial
association at the regular meeting
last night drew up resolutions asking
that the court supplement the state
appropriation which is said to be in
adequate to meet the expenses of the
organization.
Captain C. ]. Ferguson, who has
been working assiduously since his ap-
pointment as head of Co. L to raise
the standard of that organization, IS
the father of the present movement
which is in keeping with the policy
Of several other counties in the state,
notably Marion, Clackamas, and Clat-
sop. At present the state gives an an
nual appropriation of $500 to the COM
pany which sum is to meet all run
ming expenses, including rent, lights,
fuel. insurance. repairs, maintain
ance of a range and other incidentals.
The rent itself amounts to s400 which
leaves the military boys but $500 with
which to meet all other expenses, and
because of this meager allowance
they have been greatly handicapped.
For the past year the company has
been without a janitor for the armory,
the captain has been forced to do all
of his own clerical work, some of the
windows have been broken out of the
armory and never replaced and there
are no blinds to any OF the windows.
Then, too, the boys of Co. L were
forced to go to the annual encamp-
ment last year without any company
fund and so had to be content with
the scant rations doled out by the
commissary department while the
companies encamped with them were
enjoying delicacies purchased out OF
their reserve fund.
All of these conditions togethe:
with the fact that the state officers
have been more than fair in helping
the company on its feet, induced Cap.
tain Ferguson to ask the county court
to come to his assistance. He state:
that about $500 will be necessary t
put the armory in habitable shap'
and place the company on a gooC
working basis.
Following are the resolutions as ad
opted by the Commercial association
last evening:
Whereas, we believe that the exist
ence and maintainance of Nationa
Guard company in Umatilla county 1
Of great benefit, not only for tn
young men but for the community,
And, Whereas, it has been deter
mined that the funds supplied by tn
State and National Government ar

Therefore, be 1t resolved by this as
