CITY TAX LEVY IS
TO Be NINE MILLS

Pendleton's city tax levy will be
nine mills instead of SO mills as or
iginally recommended by the finance
committee. The change was made at
last nights melting of the council af-
ter II had been decided to undertake
more street improvements during the
coming year than had been anticipat-
ed.
The levy will now be divided as fol-
lows: 6.S mills for general purposes,
two mills for street purposes and two
tenths of a mill for library purposes.
The deplorable condition of West
Alta street was responsible for a pc
tition from Mrs. Aura Raley which
was read at the meeting and referred
to the street committee. She called
attention to the condition of the street
and asked that it be cleaned. In dis
cussing the matter after the meeting,
street Commissioner Stansbrry said it
would be an easy matter to clean off
the mud. The street was cleaned to-
day.
A petition from North Pendleton
residents for a cross walk on Jackson
street at the intersection Of Logan
street was read and referred to the
committee on streets.

Today Messrs. Cochran and Nc
Carthy have been engaged in looking
at the Oliver site and at the ranches
on Birch creek. 1t is understood
they will investigate the Cheney
Clopton location tomorrow forenoon.
They were taken to Birch creek to-
day by James Johns and Lee Teutsch.
While here the two men will gath
er all information possible with refer
ence TO the different sites proposed
and will also take options upon the
land.
One feature regarding the local sites
offered is the fact that with one ex-
ception all OF the eight sites are To-
Gated upon railroad lines. Most of
the sites are situated on the Main
line of the Q. r. & y while others are
upon branch lines. Therefore the
sites are convenient from a transport
tation standpoint. If located here
the branch asylum could be easily
reached by officers having patients or
by friends desiring to visit inmates.
Furthermore sidetrack facilities may
be installed so that freight for the
may be handled to advan-
tage. 1t is believed this feature will
have weight with the board. especially
so since Pendleton naturally enjoys
cheaper freight rates than do Baker
City or Union.

LAT0URELLE HOME DESTROYED
BY E---L0SS NEARLY $4,000

Henry Latourelle's residence at S13
Mill street, was destroyed shortly af-
ter s o'clock this morning by fire. The
frame Of the building is still standing,
though greatly damaged while the in
terror of the structure was gutted
What was not destroyed by fire was
ruined with the great quantities of
water poured into the building to
quench the flames.
The fire started from a defective
gasoline stove, according to Henry
Latourelle, jr., who was engaged in
assisting his mother to prepare break
fast. Mr.. Latourelle was still in bed
having worked until o'clock
According to the boys story they
had lit both burners. He then went
out onto the back porch for some-
thing and returning saw the entire
top of the stove on fire. His mothers
back was turned and she had not seen
the stove. Not wishing to alarm her
the boy grabbed UP a carpet and
threw 1t over the blaze, thinking to
smother 1t out. The fire, however,
spread to the carpet. from the carpet
to the floor and from the floor to the
walls and furniture in such an in
credibly brief time that the boy and
his mother were powerless to stop It.
An alarm Of fire was turned In but

EIGHT LOCAL SITES OFFERED
FOR EASTERN OREGON ASYLUM

If Pendleton does not land the
branch asylum it will not be because
there are not a sufficient number of
good sites in this vicinity. At least
eight locations for the eastern Oregon

people and today Messrs. Cochran and
Mccarthy, representing the state
board, are busy investigating them.
Here are, the eight sites that are

sired:

MAYOR MURPHY ET Al
TO WRITE ORDINANCE

Contrary to expectations no caucus
was held by the mayor and members
of the city council last evening for
the purpose of discussing the saloon
question. During the day yesterday
Mayor Murphy intimated such a eau
Gus would be held following the regu-
lar council meeting in the evening.
1t is understood now that no for
nal caucus will be held by the coun-
Gil for some days. In the meanwhile
Mayor Murphy, City Attorney Raley
and the members of the license COM
mittee will get busy drafting regu-
lative ordinance. When the council is
called together it will be for the pur-
pose of considering the provisions of
this ordinance which it is to be as
sumed will be q perfect measure from
he standpoint of the mayor, city at
-orney and ordinance committee.
Regarding the details of his plan
for saloon regulation the mayor re-
fuses to say anything save to intimate
he will have something interesting.

1t was several minutes before the de-
partment arrived on the scene and by
that time the entire inside of the
building was on fire. The blaze was
extingulshed with difficulty.
The loss to the luilding and furni-
ture will be close to $4,000, according
to an estimate made by Mr.. Latour-
ellie. Insurance to the amount of s2,-
600 was carried, $1,000 being on the
house and $1,000 on the furniture.
MIR. Latourelle says the loss he feels
the most keenly is that of the valuable
paintings and other similar articles
which can never be replaced.
From the description of the origin
of the fire as given by the boy It is
evident that there was no explosion
of the stove. Apparently the burn
ers were lit before they had been
heated sufficiently to generate the
gas properly. This allowed the cups
underneath the burners to fill with
gasoline and catch on fire. The gas
oline flowed in faster than It burned
out with the result that 1t was soon
dripping onto the floor with every
drop blaze OF fire. Users of gaso-
line say that had the flow of gasoline
been shut off when the fire was first
discovered and the gasoline in the
cups allowed to burn out there would
have been no trouble.

CHURCH ATTORNEY WILL HELP
PROSECUTE PRIZE FIGHTERS

San Francisco. Dec. 1.-Declaring
that his purpose is not SO much the
punishment of the principals in the
Nelson-Mora fight as to prevent a
repetition of prize fighting in Cali
fornia, Attorny White of the church
federation today accepted the invi-
tation of District Attorny Fickert to
cooperate with the authorities in
prosecuting those deemed violators of
the anti-prize fighting law. Fickert
while stating in his opinion that no
law was violated, appointed his as
sistant, Harry Lane, to undertake the
prosecution. There is popular feel
ing against the prosecution of fights.

All evidence points to the extern
sion Of the Umatilla project, so as to
include the 10000 acres In the pro-
posed West Umatilla project, by the
government.
Despite the fact that the above spe-
cial message from Washington, d c.,
to the East Oregonian says the rec
concentrations of the board of army
engineers is being carefully guarded,
developments in this county indicate
the report is favorable and that the
government is already taking the me-
cessary steps to go ahead with the
work Immediately. 1t is Of course
possible that the steps being taken
are merely precautionary but they
look to be more than that.
The two most significant of the re-
cent developments are the presence in
the field of crew of engineers and
surveyors who are apparently run
ming line for the main distributing
canal from the proposed reservoir
site out over the proposed project
and the filing of articles Of incorpor-
alton for the West Umatilla Water
Users association. The Incorporation
articles were filed today with Couny
Clerk Sailing and with the secretary
OF state in Salem.
The amount of capital stock of the
incorporation is $4,000, divided into
10000 shares. The control OF the as.
sociation is left in the hands of a
board Of five directors to be elected
by the stockholders and in every way
the organization is exactly similar to
the one which now obtains on the
Umatilla project proper. The incor-
poratos for the new association are
o. d. Teel, Thomas Campbell, r. C.
Caufield, Thomas Hurlburt, E. w.
Rhea and ]. w. Campbell.
The surveyors who are apparently
running the line for the main dis
tributing canal have been in the field
for several days. Their presence has
been known to the ranchers in that
part OF the county and enthusiasm
over the prospects for the proposed
extension Is growing greater every day.

Dallas, Texas. Dec 1.-Five hum
dred people are homeless and a hun
dred thousand dollars worth of prop
erty was destroyed by a fire that
swept over a large section of this city
today. Fifty buildings were burned.
including many residences. The fire
started shortly before midnight and
was uncomfortable on account of a
high wind. One woman and two fire
men were struck by hose wagon and
fatally injured. Intellectual water
pressure due to a long drought rem
dered the fire fighting apparatus
practically useless. The fire died out
of its own account
