STORES TO CLOSE
ON GOOD FRIDAY

1t is believed that Pendleton will
be the only city in the United States
west of the Mississippi river that will,
as a city, formally observe Good Fri
day. On the sixth day of this week
there will not be a store, poolroom,
saloon, or business house of any kind
open to the public between the hours
of noon and 3 p. m. as a result of a
move which had its inception with ].
F. Robinson and which was endorsed
by President Tallman of the Com
mercial association, and which was
brought to a successful conclusion as
the results of the efforts of a commit
tee.
The custom of closing business
houses on Good Friday is one quite
prevalent in Europe and many eastern
cities have adopted it but heretofore
so far as is known, no city in the west
has evenr recognized the day in such
a manner.
Good Friday is observed by both the
Episcopal and Catholic churches in
commemoration of the death of Jesus
Christ and there will be special ex-
ercises held by both of these churches
on that day.

Asquith and his cabinet ministers.
The militant suffragettes have de-
clared war against their sisters who
are working for the vote for women
by constitutional means.
A meeting of the constitutionalists
which Philip Snowden, socialist M
p for Blackburn, was addressing at
Gateshead last night, was thrown into
disorder by militants, who insisted up
or interrupting Mr.. Snowden. Quiet
was not restored until the students,
male and female. had elected the
more warlike supporters of the suf-
fragette movement.

SMALLPOX SCARE
AT WALLA WALLA

Walla Walla, Wash, March 1S.-
Cne man has already been taken to
the pest house with smallpox and
several other residents of West Main
street have been exposed to the dread
disease, according to announcement of
County Health Officer DR.. NJ. Stiles
yesterday. This is the first indica-
ton of the epidemic which has been
raging in other nearby communities,
and DR.. Stiles is using every precau-
ton to prevent the spreading of the
disease. He has thoroughly fumi-
gated the lodging house in which the
man has been rooming and has is
sued warnings to all residents in that
near vicinity, while he also desires to
publicly warn others in that neighbor-
hood to be extremely careful in the
near future.
The disease was first discovered by
a friend of DR.. stiles who informed
him of his suspicious, and an investi-
cation Sunday morning proved the
diagnosis correct. The man. whose
name is Gale, had only recently re-
turned from a trip in and around
Pasco, Toppenish and Spokane. and
it was on this trip that he contracted
smallpox. for there have been scores
of cases throughout that section dur
ing the past few months.
The patient was just beginning to
break out when he was examined by
DR.. Stiles and no time was lost in
getting him to the pest house. There
were several friends and others who
had associated with the man before
his plight was discovered, but as yet
none of these have shown any symp-
toms of the disease.
