sands of acres of land are under wa
ter.
The streets of Duptsar are under
six feet of water. Trolley road beds
in the flooded districts are destroyed
and ali suburban traffic is complete
ly demoralized. In the Redstone valley
near here, 500 families were forced
to flee to the hills for safety. A
number of miners are reported miss
ing near Smock and it is feared they
perished in the cloudburst. The AL
leghany river at Pittsburg is rising
rapidly and it is expected the 1S-foot

TWO new CELLS
FOR CITY JAIL

Hereafter violent prisoners of the
city may become just as violent as
they choose without hurting them
as much noise as they please without
annoying the residents in the vicinity
Of the Jail. This as a result of the
action of the council last night in
deciding to purchase two new cells, a
padded one and a solid one. The ac-
tion was taken upon the solicitation
of Chief of Police Kearney and upon
the recommendation of the house
committee following an inspection of
the Jail by the whole council.
DIR. f. w. Vincent, manager of the
local power plant, was given permis-
sion to extend an arm from a pole at
the intersection of Court and Cotton
wood streets from which to suspend
the arc light, thus doing away with
one of the poles.
Walter Golfer, the blind news seller
was given permission by the council
to sell Roundup souvenirs on the
street without license and the coun-
ell decided that during the Roundup
no license would be required of local
people who wished to conduct street
lunch wagons 1t was the concensus
of opinion that the problem of feeding
the crowds would be a large one and
should not be made more difficult by
curtaling the number of feeding
places,
The recorder was instructed to ad-
vertise for bids for the construction
of manhole at the intersection of
Water and Vincent streets
Also the recorder was instructed to

CITY PHYSICIAN TEMPLE SOUNDS Warning,
PRECAUTIOH NECESSARY TO PREVENT TYPHOID

To the Public: In view Of the fact
that Pendleton is comparatively free
from typhoid fever and of the ap-
preaching season of low and infected
water supply; it is encumbent upon
every resident to take every reason
able precaution to prevent the de-
velopment and spread of typhoid
fever
The recent high water has done
much to make the water supply un-
fit for domestic purposes, because of
washing the earths surface into the
streams and there being SO much un-
clean material and debris on the sur
face at this warm season of the year
and especially to typhoid infection,
more than at any previous period OF
the present year,
Recent meteorological analysis from
the State Board of Health shows wa
ter taken from the city reservoir, an
excess of organisms with positive
dangerous bacili contained therein
In view of this fact it become;

Stuffs. The purchasers are justified
in making such complaints, but the
most successful preventative TO this
would be to simply change your place
of trading. Mr. Grocery Man is al
ert to his financial interest and would
not be long in searching out the cause
of the loss of his best patrons and
suggestions from the health officer
tc screen the fruit and vegetables
would be unnecessary.
Complaints of unsanitary conditi-
ons will always be looked into prompt
ly from this office, but before COM
planning about your neighbor take a
good look into your own back yard
have found some people do not do
this. This office has no desire To
take hand in neighborhood quarrels
and when the prerogatives of its
power is displayed it is anything but
peace maker
There are a few residents of Pen
their homes with the sewer system,
this should be done without delay.
The city has established sewage
system at great expense and no one
is so poor but they owe it to them
selves. their neighbors and the city
of Pendleton to connect up their toi-
/ lets.
These few suggestions are given
with a view of making Pendleton a
/ better and healthier town to live in.
| Il death invades our homes through
negligence we will realize too late the
value of a suggestion and regrets and
neglect of duty is hard to take from
our minds.
Respectfully yours.

City Engineer to Be
 Member of Committee
 New Building Lines

Acting on the suggestion of Mayor Wilson, the committee on Streets and Sidewalks which will recommend the adoption of a uniform building line for Main street from Railroad avenue north to Bulls Head, will embody in it's report on the Macfayden resolution, the recommendation that the city en- gineer be made one of the special committee to take up the matter.
 Alderman Macfayden'S resolution in troduced several months ago, called for the appointment by the Mayor of a committee of four, to comprise the president of the Common Council and the presidents of the Board of Trade, the Business Mems Association and the Manufacturers Association, to take up the matter.
 Mayor Wilson suggested the advis- ability of including the city engineer upon the committee. This met with the approval of the author of the res olution, and when the committees re- port is made to the Common Council tomorrow evening the appointment of a committee of five will be recom- mended.
 The councti meeting promises to be brief. There is not a great amount of routine business on hand.

Lawyers Preparing For Murder Trial
 Of Rev. Richeson
Especial from United PressD

Boston, Jan. 1-Attorney John l.. Lee and Beverly Harrison, chief coun- seI, with William A. Morse and Philip R. Dunbar, for Rev. C. V. T. Riche- son, charged with murdering Avis Lfnnell, arrived in Boston today from their Virginia home, to begin final preparations for the defense of the Baptist minister, New England's most remarkable prisoner.
 With Attorney Lees arrival today it was expected definite statement re- gardfng Pastor Richeson's defense would soon be made. The famous criminal attorney has been kept in touch with the situation throughout his three weeks absence and the first thing he did was to send for Druggist Levitan, of Cambridge, who declared he sold cyanide to a girl answering the description of Avis Linnell, a day or two before her death. Levitan has a record of this sale of cyanide to a young girl who gave a, fictitious name and address.
 Unless District Attorney Pelletier's private detectives can prove that an- other girl and not Avis Linnell bought the cyanide from Levitan, the latter's testimony will be prominently featured to offset the testimony of Druggist Hahn, of Newton, whose statement that Richeson bought cyanide from him was what finally decided the po- lice to arrest the minister at the home of his fiancee, Miss Violet Edmands.
