SERVICE THIS MONTH

The entire Pendleton-Y cut
off will be in use by all trains on the
O.-W. line by the oath Of this month,
according to statements made yester
day by railroad officials who were in
specting the work. All that remains
to be done of the million and quar-
ter improvements is the finishing of
the third bridge between Barnhart
and Coe and this will be done by the
aforementioned date, whereupon
the section not now, in use will be
cut in. All of the rest of the line is
ready to receive trains although there
is considerable surfacing and lining
yet to do.
The railroad company is experience
ing considerable trouble with its
new track which runs through the
Furnish reservoir at Coe. AS the
water soaks into the dirt of the grade
the track settles, not to any great ex-
tent but enough to cause he COM
pany annoyance and to necessitare
extremely slow running across this
portion of the track.

rock below the mill. However he was
blocked in his scheme and his ex-
pense at that time went for naught.
But his eXcavating work is still there
end now that the state has acquired
the Roberts place his dream of de-
veloping power plant may yet be full
filled.
In discussing this subject yesterday
Mr.. Walter intimated he might be
ready to enter into deal of this sort
with the state board providing the
board wishes to do so. He says that
by extending the race down across the
Oliver place he could develop enough
electricity with which to run his mill,
supply the branch asylum and still
have much to sell. Mr. Walters also
pointed out that he has already done
the expensive part of the work tow
ards extending the mill race and that
should the state wish to make q deal
with him the race could be carried
the remainder of the distance at
comparatively light expense.
Whether or not the state and Mr..
Walters can agree upon a plan for
harnessing the Umatilla for the pur-
pose of developing electricity for their
respective purposes remains to be
seen

Modes,v in Dress.

In travelling about our fair state
one is frequently struck with the
Righteousness Of the foolish
fashion some OF our young girls
follow. DO you suppose a man.
or any one else for that matter,
admires a young lady because she
wears an abundance of yellow
hair bought at the store? Do yor
know that Queen Mary forbade
any lady Of the court TO appear
at the recent coronation of King
George in a hobble skirt, a low
necked waist or a painted face?
And yet some Of our girls think
they are behind the times II they
do not follow the fashion and do
those foolish things. II seems
10 me that England is honored in
having a lady ruling as the first
lady Of the land. who shows such
respect for what is sensible and
decent, to make such require
ments.
II more people who are leaders
would lift up their voices against
some Of the existing evils Of the
age il would 80 long way to-
wards their Punishment. 1t is
appalling the way some of tie
girls, especially the younger
girls. dress in some q the larger
towns. Let me plead with you
not TO wear low necked dresses.
Simply a collarless dress is al
right and comfortable in warm
weather, but don't be guilty Of
such style Of 'undress" as is
seen in q fashionable ball room.
The dress Of a young lady is
largely on index 10 her character
and il young men are on the
alert they can pick out a girl for
life companion who has a beauti-
full disposition and character
largely by her manner of dress.
Strive to be modest, clearly and
neatly dressed and dress accord
ing To your means and station in
life and don't follow the fads of
