TO MAKE PENDLETON
A CITY BEAUTIFUL
COUNCIL SETS ASIDE
TWO CLEANUP DAYS
Everyone in City Is Supposed to
Assist i'm Getting Rid of Debris on
April 1 and 2-Northwestern Cor
poration Granted New Gas Fran
chise.

Friday and Saturday, April l and
2 are to be cleaning up days in the
city of Pendleton. These were the
dates decided upon by the council last
evening and it is expected that every
one in the city will cooperate with
the city fathers in their desire to
make Pendleton a city beautiful" A
special invitation is to be extended to
the women of the city, as it was stated
by Mayor Murphy last evening that
the cooperation of the women in the
past had proved valuable asset.
AS in the past, the city will provide
wagons and teams with which to haul
away the debris which cannot be de-
stroyed by fire. 1t must be placed
along the streets so the teamsters can
get to it and everything combustible
is to be burned.
The cleaning up days are later this
year than usual but a number of
things have combined to bring this
to pass. In the first place, it is i'm
possible TO get to the dump grounds
this week and if the garbage is raked
UP along the streets next week it will
be necessary for it to be left out over
Sunday, a situation to be avoid
ed 1t was therefore decided, after
much discussion, to place the dates on
April l and .. though it was realized
that the first of the month would give
few of the men a chance to shirk
their part of the work.
New Gas Franchise Granted.
Without a dissenting vote the coun-
Gil last evening voted to grant the
Northwestern Corporation a new gas
| franchise. With the exception that
the city will receive a revenue of s10C
more than under the old franchise, the
| changes made are minor. It is to ex.
tend for a period Of 25 years.
| Will Grade Tustin Street Hill.
The request of the residents of tn,
| Tustin street hill section for the cit!
| to appropriate sum equal to tina
raised by the citizens for the reduc
! ton OF the grade on South Tustir
street, was granted by a unanimou!
vote. 1t is proposed to take a guam
tity of dirt from the top of the hill
and place it at the foot.
a resolution was also passed pro
viding for the construction of a side
walk on the west side of Jane stree
between Bluff and High.

washington, March 17.-Although
the republican organization of the
house took radical measures yester-
day to prevent repetition of Tues
days defeat at the hands of the DEM
ocratic-insurgent republican combi-
nation on the question of the main
tenance OF an automobile for the

tory over the regulars even more de-
cisive.
On an appeal from a decision by
Speaker Cannon in the matter OF pre-
cedence for a joint resolution, the
house voted against the speaker, 1853
to Ill In addition to the full demo-
cratic vote and the 80 insurgent re-
publicans who have always stood
against the speaker, a dozen other re-
publicans, heretofore regular, voted
to turn down the ruling of the chair.

Just before taking the vote, Speaker

giving his reasons for the ruling and
showing something of Indifference as
To what action the house might take
He had just ruled that the constitu'
tional nature of a resolution Offered
by Representative Crumpacker on the
coming census gave 1t precedence over
the house rule of establishing "cal'
endar Wednesday, which was one OF
the features of the Fitzgerald rules.
Cannon Makes Comment.
In turning down the'speaker OF the
house "who had no more nor less au
thority than any speaker that has pre-
ceded him." commented Mr., Cannon
the real question was whether th'
speaker does. like a colossus, bestrid'
the world"
A few minutes after the house con
yened today Representative Dwight
the republican whip, made a point O.
no quorum and caused a call of the
house resulting in a scurrying in o
members who were absent in com
mittee rooms or in their offices. More
than so arrived too late to answer
to their names.
1t was privately announced by
prominent member of the house or
ganization, that hereafter quorum

must be present and that the attend
ance of absent members would be
compelled.
There was even talk of invoking an
old rule instituted by Speaker Crisp
docking the members a days pay
whenever they failed to respond to
roll call.
Whatever steps might be taken in
the future, 1t was stated that the re-
publican leaders intend to see that the
full regular republican strength Is
available at all times to oppose the
democrats and insurgents.
