existence. for 1t is TO become the nu-
cleus of the county library. the local

To require the Pendleton Roller
Mills Co (the Byers mild now owned
by a Holland syndicate, to abolish
their present open and dangerous
mill race within the borders of the
city and TO have the water brought
to the mill through an underground
conduit Is the purpose OF a move that
" now underway here.
Dr. l. u. Temple. city phySician.
has taken the initiative in the matter
and he Is confident Of success for
the move. The doctor declares he IL
Interested in the matter both from
the standpoint of an official and a
parent He IL Interested as par
cnt because his little boy attends the
Washington school and has been trav-
cling along the open mill rave going
To and from school The lad was also
playmate of the little Riggle boy
who was drowned in the mill race on
Monday. That accident brought the
situation close home to the doctor
and has influenced him in taking up
the fight to have the open race abol-
ished
Il also feel 1t my duty as an Off
cial to call attention to this matter" p"
says the doctor. Only yesterday J
was called over to the north side of
the river to see cesspool into which
"A little child had fallen The child
was rescued and | ordered the man
TO have that cesspool covered at once.
II was my duty TO do so. But the
Byers mill race has killed many chill
dren and n number OF men. Why
should II be exempt"
A petition asking the city council
to order the abatement OF the open
mill race has been prepared and is
now being circulated. DIR. Temple has
taken the subject up with City At
torney Carter. who has agreed to pre-
sent a complaint against the open
race.
Another factor that may have some
influence on the outcome of the move
is the fact damage sult IS impen6-
ing as n result of the drowning OF
the Riggle boy. AS attorney for the
parents of the boy viii NJ. Peterson
is preparing to sue for damages to
the amount Of $500. Thus far the
suit has not been filed but instead
a demand for settlement has been
made upon tho mill company. I'M
less a suitable settlement is secured,
damage proceedings will be underta-
ken. according to Mr.. Peterson.
Mayor supports Move.
This afternoon DR.. Temple declar-
I'd he had the support of Mayor Mat
lock and practically all local business
men in the move to abate the open
mill race.

There were women of all sizes and
all degrees of beauty, some afoot,
some on horseback and some in car
riages and automobiles.
The parade was marked by many
special features in the way of cos.
tunes, and the passing marches re-
minded one of the annual Promenade

stores about Easter time.
Heading the parade were delega-
tons from each of the nine states

gle hall and several other of the suf-
frage societies held meetings in vari-
Gus halls throughout the city.
