John j. Mcnamara is the sec
ond eldest of family OF nine. He
was born In Cincinnati, Ohio, De-
Gem Der 23. 1870, of poor but re-
spected parentage.
Owing to the size of the family,
his schooling was curtailed when
he was still In his teens" He
was forced to become q bread
winner. In his early years he fol-
lowed various occupations as a Ia
borer, and finally about 1898 was
employed in the building Of new
bridge near Cincinnati.
He had been attracted to this
class of work for some time, and
when the opportunity to enter up
on steel construction work pre-
scented itself to him, he found his
calling.
He was quickly recognized as a
competent bridge builder, and
henceforth had no trouble in OBJ
tanning work in this line. He was
actively employed in the building
of some Of the largest bridges and
viaducts in this country.
Ho Immediately became a
member Of the International As
ISOLATION Of Bridge and Structural
Iron Workers, and has retained
his membership ever since. He
was at all times active and held
most Of the offices in the gift of
this organization, excepting salar-
led positions.
In 1902 he was elected dele
gate to the Milwaukee convention,
and since that time has been a del
egate to all conventions. At the

which he came in contact in his
individual as well as his official
capacity.
Mcnamara has never been iden-
titled with any political party, be-
lieving rather In independence Of
thought, and he has at all times
been an advocate of progressive
political and economical move
ments, regardless of party poll
tics. He has been a thorough
student Of modern political sub
1ects and has been a close observ-
err of current events.

strong, Edward Peterson, a farm

a penknife yesterday, in room
at the rear of the Svea saloon, at

ONLY TH|RTY-F|VE PER CENT
Of EIGHTH GRADE PUPILS PASS

Only a little more than thirty-five
per cent of the eighth grade students
who took the state examinations were
given marks which graduate them
from the graded schools. The exam
lining board yesterday afternoon COM
pleted their board of grading and it
was found that but 60 out of the 100
applicants had been successful. This
is an unusually small percentage and
the teachers are at loss to account
for the poor showing.
To the Stanfield district belongs the
high honors for every one of the II
pupils who took the examination from
there passed with margins to spare
in almost every case. The Pleasant
View district in the east end of the
county also averaged 100 per cent
but there were but three applicants
from that school. Some of the schools
made very poor showings, a few fail
ing to pass a single pupil out of a
large number of applicants. The
Pendieton districts were not required
to take these state examinations and
their standard of excellence is there
fore not to be at present.
Individual honors belong to Helen
Skinner of Hermiston, for her aver
age grade of 90 10 was the highest
made by any student, Edwin Fred
erickson of Stanfield, ranked second
with an average of 30 S19, with Ruth

TO HAVE
SUBSTANTIAL BAND

Pendleton may have a permanent
and substantial band if the efforts Of
certain musicians and the board Of
managers of the Commercial asso-
citation meet with the expected sue
cess. Such an organization has been
advocated for some time past and to-
day at a noon luncheon of the board
of managers a committee previously
appointed recommended the forming
of a band.
The plan of organization is to Sc
cure a competent director who could
interest the many musicians of the
city and hold them together. Such
man too could enlist and develop
the high school talent of which there
is considerable. The matter is now
under serious consideration and the
residents of Pendleton will hope that
II materializes.
