Tuesdays program follows and is
big one.
"A Childs Stratagem." Biograph
drama. A story Of unreasonable jeal-
ousy on the part of wife who i'm
agines her husband is devoting too
much attention to other women. How
the little one prevents a domestic dis
aster is interesting to say the least.
Without any semblance of dramatic
crisis, the picture tells a story that
can be duplicated often enough to ap-
pear real to a number in most any
audience consequently it will prove at
tractive.
"A Western Woman's Way" Es-
sany drama. Big Bill Todd, a worth

!. of o. Will Open.

There has been a rumor circulated
around Pendleton for the past few
days that the University Of Oregon
would not open again until the second
semester on account of the typhoid
fever which is prevalent in Eugene.
In a telephone conversation with
James Johns, jr., President Campbell
of that institution stated that college
would open tomorrow and that there
need be no fear Of a spread of the
disease among students as every pre-
caution was being taken. All houses
where students live, he stated, will be
supplied with distilled water from the
university plant and that an inspec-
tor will make daily rounds to see that
sanitary measures are observed. Stu
dents from Umatilla county will all
go back at once.

Good Bucking Contest.

Because of the cold weather yes
terday the bucking contest which was
held at Roundup park during the af-
ternoon did not draw a very large
crowd but those who did attend were
rewarded with an exciting exhibition.
Four outlaws were ridden and it is
said that Ernest Cannon, who won
second prize in the Roundup contests
had as much as he could dot to save
his reputation as he drew a mount
that would have compared favorably
with Lightfoot, Blue Blazes and Dyna-
mite.

Saturday afternoon at about $3.50
o'clock on Court street when the little
papoose of Charles Van Pelt. the well
known Indian farmer, ran out from
Hamlt's harness store directly in
front of a fast approaching team.
But for the skillful management on

eficial advertising for the city from the
Pacific to the Atlantic. Its perma-
nency is so assured that the associ-
alton has contracted to purchase a
fine tract of land whereon to con-
struct a stadium for the annual wild
west exhibitions and for all out door
athletic contests during the year,
which tract of land with all of its
improvements is eventually to revert
TO the city for park purposes. The
entire population of the city is lend
ing support to the Roundup, for all
reconize its value as an asset both
for direct and indirect returns.
The Yield OF the Soil.
The year 1910 will also be rem
embered as year of bounteous har-
vests. After two exceptionally dry
years, the heavens precipitated a
generous supply of vital moisture and
distributed it through the season in
such a way that the soil responded
nobly and the result was one of the
largest and best crops in recent years.
The farmers Jared we'll and when the
gods smile on these hardy sons of toll
all other businesses and Industries re-
fleet their prosperity.
Farewell to Prohibition.
Another change which will have
more or less effect uTOn the life of
Pendleton and which has been brought
about in the past year is the sup
planting Of unenforced prohibition by
the regulated saloon. In the Novem-
Der elections, the people of this COM
munity declared against the continu-
ance Of the conditions Of the past two
years and a wise council has supple
mented their action by adopting an
ordinance which gives existence to the
saloon only on compliance with GER
tain stringent provisions. Today
twelve establishments wherein liquor
is sold over the bar opened their
doors TO the public and a new era
was ushered in. 1t is an experiment
which Pendleton is now trying, but the
prevailing sentiment is that more
wholesome conditions will result and
that the dark clouds Of pessimism
which hung over the city under the
prohibition regime will vanish into
thin air.
But Few Empty Buildings.
At present there are but few empty
buildings in the city, residences as
well as business rooms and 1t is cer-

Steam Shovel Delays Trains.

The trains from Portland which
are due here shortly after o'clock
did not arrive until after 9 Saturday
evening owing to an accident which
happened this side of Barnhart. The
contractors were moving a big steam
shovel when an accident precipitated
it onto the track. Being an unwieldy
thing to handle several hours were
necessary to hoist it back so 1t could
be moved and the track cleared.

Frank X. Welles has received a petit

Adams school district to take in ter

east and also the lapsed school dis

tain that there are far less than there
were at this time last year. The re-
building of one new brick block is
nearing completion and the excavation
for another is now under way. 1t is
also very probable that the construc-
ton of new theatre in the near fu-
ture will fill long felt want in the
community.
The Branch Asylum.
And last but far from least in the
catalogue of Pendleton's progress, the
year 1910, just at its close, gave to
this city the new branch asylum
which was voted by the people at the
last general election. Competing
with Baker and Union for the insti-
tuition, Pendleton was selected as the
site, and this selection not only means
that a 100000 institution with all
of its resultant benefits is given to
this city, but that Pendleton has been
proclaimed publicly, from the stand
points of geographical location, trans
portation advantages, and superiority
in climate and soil, as the most IA
vored city in eastern Oregon.
The Summary.
These are the largest things that
are noted in the retrospect but far
from all. Each line of business, each
branch of industry can be seen to
have made advancement and each
public institution can be seen to have
made a stride forward. But the great
and important thing to be marked
is that the city is not retrogressing
nor stagnating. but is surcharged
with enough life, vigor and civic am
bition to keep it upon a steady up
ward trend of progress and develop
ment. May the milepost of 1912 al
so stand as monument to this
movement!
