ASK FOR LOCAL TRAIN FROM
PENDLETON To HUNTINGTON

AS an outcome of a meeting of the
transportation committee of the COM
mercial club held last evening a re-
quest will be presented the O.-W. r.
& n. company asking that a local
train be placed In running be-
tween this city and Huntington. The
assistance of the other towns along
the line will be solicited in the move.
The subject of a better local train
service from the eastward was
brought before the committee by res
idents of Meacham who would like to
have trains Nos. Il and is stop at
Meacham during the summer.
In pursuance to the call of Chair
man G. NJ. Rice a meeting of the
transportation committee was called
for last night and it was attended by
the following members of the COM

L. Temple.
AS explained to the committee the
train service from the east at this
time is such as to make it extremely
incouvenient for parties desiring to
come down from any of the mountain
stations. There is no local now in
the running and since Nos. II and
is do not stop mountain people are
forced to rely upon catching train 8
into the city and 6 on returning. As
both are night trains It provides a
very inconven,cnt service.
1t was decided by the committee
to request the railroad people to in
stall a local train between here and
Huntington for the summer months
and to order trains II and Is to stop
at Meacham until such service may
be established. \ resolution to this
effect, has already been forwarded to
the railroad officials.

recent years a vast increase in the i'm

that capable man servant can now

Fashions are more revolutionary
this year than they have been for
many seasons. The really small hat
is now an accomplished fact, women
are becoming accustomed to the wild

accepted as a pretty novelty; but
the new hairdressng is considered the
last straw. 1t Is being shown by
fashionable London hair dressers, but
as yet few women have ventured to
wear 1t in public. The hair is drawn
straight back from the forehead and
sides and finished in little flat coil at
the back. All such frivolties as curs
puffs or even waves are banished,
the hair being drawn quite smooth
and flat 1t has very curious eject
after the full coiffures, and it is not
in the least likely that it will become
popular, as few women possess the

CEMENT COMPANY TROUBLES
Reerettable Delays In Operation
of Big Plant.
Tunnel Must Be Strengthened

A second failure in the cemented
tunnel leading to the power plant of the
Inland Portland Cement Company at
Metaline.Falls has occurred and it is like
ly that three or four months must elapse
before the manufacture of cement can
be resumed.
Coming down to the power plant from
the top of the hill the water comes
through tunnel HOO feet long which is
In shale rock. In the tunnel there
are several hundred feet of steel
tubing. the remainder of the tunnel is
cemented. The pressure of 24O pounds
to the square inch was more than the
cement set in the jagged edges of the
shale rock could stand and when the
water was first turned into the tunnel
in March the leakage past the mouth of
the steel tube was so great that it
threatened to undermine the power
plant and it was found necessary to
shut off the water.
Repairs were made and a volume of
water turned in that produced pres
sure of 80 lbs. but when more power
was necessary and pressure of 12O lbs
turned on the cemented tunnel was
again unable to withstand the strain
and it was necessary to shut the water
off. 1t is now concluded that the only
way to overcome the difficulty is to con-
tinue the steel tube throughout the
length of the tunnel.
1t will take close to four months to
get this tubing manufactured and in
stalled and operation of the plant is
held-up in the meantime.
The troubles encountered are ser.
ious setback to the company, which had
the product for the seasons run dis.

loss of business to the railroad and all
of this section.
In addition to its troubles with the
tunnel the company barely escaped the
misfortune of losing the dam which
raised Sullivan Lake rs feet impoundine

pressure of the water caused seepage
