people as good ventilation and light with

the general land vaules would be en-
hanced by spreading business over u
greater area. The use of reinforced con-
crete in Birmingham will be a considera-
tion, as it is ideal for such climate
and can be used with great economy
for reasonably high buildings and per-
manent and handsome appearance pre-
sented encouragement should be given
to private individuals to construct homes
with surrounding gardens and certain
zones or districts should be set aside for
residences
"The suburbs should be planned for the
future growth of the city and partieh-
larly with respect to residence zones, as
well as for manufacturing plants. There
should be truck gardens to supply the city
markets, dairy and poultry farms, with
radial as we'll as diagonal thoroughfares
leading from one suburb to another, and
from the city direct into the rural dis
tricts ell of which would make Bir-
mingham an ideal modern city"

Flock to See American Monster

From the New York Times.
Many hundreds of persons visited the
Paris Natural History Museum this week
to view the latest arrival. the huge head
of the extinct monster. the triceratops,
recently discovered in the Rocky Noun
tains and presented to the museum.
The triceratops. which was contempor-
ary with the Doplodoccus Carnegiensis,
was says Professor Boule, the palaeon-
tolcgical expert of the museum, at least
80 feet long. with a head measuring more
than six feet.
As the name implies the monster has
three horns, of which one enormously
powerful Is fixed at an aggressive angle
in the center of the forehead. The other
two rise above the eyes Tse bones of
the head. which were of great hardness
and soidity, were covered. it is stated.
with thick skin, armed with scales and
spines. which were sufficient to turn aside
a modern projectile.
The triceratops stood very high on its
legs, says Professor Boule and could
attain great speed. When alive it was

and even the gigantic mammoth could
not have stood up against 1t in battle

I'm planning for the future growth
of an existing city" said Mr.. Leavitt
'it becomes necessary to know first
the exact conditions to be considered

place in the construction of the city;

ther, what possibilities are there which
have not yet been developed and how
can such development be brought
about to the advantage of the city?
I'm taking up these various points
for discussion it should be borne in
mind that the city and it's development
and it's protection from all that may
be harmful is all done for one pur-
pose, the benefit of the people who are
in it. To keep these people healthy.

employment and to enable them to en-

all that may be desired is well planned

made beautiful, even If there are none

Pendleton's new theatre has been
named the Alta on account OF It's
location across from the city hall on
Alta street. Pendletonians can be
justly proud OF the city's new place

makes an epic of adornment in being
designed for the purpose 1t will be
used for. A proper shape, ventila-
tion system, toilets. dressing rooms,
stage, stage-loft and lighting system
incorporated in the building leaves
nothing to be desired.
The Equipment consists OF the most
comfortable and r0omy opera chairs,
the very best of machinery. stage
equipment. etc, that money can buy.
Manager Oliphant states that he
believes the time has come to put just
as much honesty and integrity behind
the show business as the public ex-
pect from other lines OF mercantile
business. consequently the policy OF
the house will be to deliver the
moneys worth of clean goods at all
times. Nothing will be offered to the
publ cthat has not had his personal
criticism.

PROGRESSIVE
SPIRIT
Shown in Selection Of Modern Type
Of Street Improvements
Type Of Street improvement.

iNDe Oi
Pendleton through the intellig, ,ence
and business acumen of its citizens.
has unquestlonably become the big
gest and most progressive city of its
size In the country.
In no single instance has this pro-
grescsive spirit been better demon
strated than in the selection and ad-
herence TO the type of pavement laid
here. The same spirit that made the
Roundup of national prominence, ex-
erted itself against all opposition and
after a thorough investigation decid-
ell that the best was the cheapest and
none too good for the town. As re-
suit Bitulithic was selected and first
laid eight years ago on Main street
and East Court street and the wis
dom and advantage of this selection
is best shown by the fact that these
streets after eight years of heavy
traffic are apparently just as good as
when first laid, and, have not reQuir-
ed the expenditure OF a single dollar
in maintenance Last year, forty ad-
ditional blocs of this pavement were
laid and at least fifty more will have
been laid or contracted for this year
The adherence to Bitulithic was not
accomplished without considerable op-
position from within and without and
although several different types of
pavement reported to be "just as good
but cheaper" fought desperately for an
entrance, the Pendleton spirit, in the
light of their knowledge of Bitulithic,
ftu
to experiment
With the Increasing popularity and
realization OF the advantage accruing
from this type Of pavement, Pendleton
will soon be in the first rank of cities
having well paved streets. The i'm
petus to real estate values since the
adoption of this pavement on resi-
dence streets has even exceeded the
highst expectations. In one instance
In particular can be shown of a lot

most of which Is undoubtedly due to
the pavement The record Of real es-
tate transactions in Pendleton in the

Washington-The average member

age membership for the first five months

Grafton. the paid membership for that
month reaching 1,979.420. This latter
