WHAT CAUSED HER INTEREST
Not the Point Made, but the Resonant
Tones, Aroused Admiration
Of Listener.

The woman who had come to New

Of Collegiate Alumnae from middle

speech at one Of the meetings. When
she took her seat in the audience, aft

toward her. handed her a paper and
lead pencil and asked the alumna IL
she would please write her name and
address. as the visitor had been so
greatly pleased with the address.
Alert to respond when there seemed
an opportunity to promulgate further
her special views-which were none
too popular with all the sorority-the
alumna asked which points had espe.

himself, died from exposure and star

tiate it.
Marshall had been staying at the
ranch of Billy Craig between this
city and the agency recently, but dis
appeared sometime Thursday night
attired only in shirt and a blanket.

cold and still this morning by two

Smythe, that Pendleton has been
charged higher rate than other
northwest cities. Acting on this re-
port the board of managers ordered
ar investigation to ascertain the true
facts. No definite remonstrance has
been made but if the result of this
investigation should prove that we
are charged higher rate than other
northwest cities l shall certainly ia
vor the publishing of the exact facts
and asking the Pacific Power &
Light company for a further reduc-
ton. But If the new rate given is a
fair and just one this should be pub
lished also and the company COM
mended for their prompt action.
