The CHEEKY Dandelion.

OF all the merry. happy so lucky
flowers the yellow dandelion takes the
prize. It is "bon camarade" with the
rich and the poor. Its saucy. impudent
little face greets you from the center
Of your choicest flower bed. and 1t
smiles cheerily up at you from the
dusty highway. In the crowded alley.
reeking with filth. it bravely opens Its
yellow petals. Anywhere and every.
where that bit Of earth can accumu-
late there appears the little dandelion.
A veritable street gamin, how It lives
and how It thrives Is mystery much
like its human brothers. Close to the
pavements. under the horses feet.
snuggled in areaways, laughing from
the gutter. the cheerful little rascal
wins your love In spite Of yourself.
And out in the country what glorious
times they all have together. starring
the grass with golden stars. the Joy OF
the children and the curse Of the gar.

TO MAKE REPORT ON
LIBRARY PROSPECTS

Another step toward securing a
Carnegie library for Pendleton was
taken last evening when Mayor Mat
lock appointed a committee consist
ing of Councilmen Cole, Montgomery
and Dyer to make a report at the next
council meeting as to what support
the city is willing to give such an in
stitution. This action was taken aft
er letter from the Carnegie corpor-
alton to the library board had been
read and considered.
The council seems very favorably
disposed toward the proposition to
secure some of the steel kings money
for a library building and, if the dis
cussion at the meeting last evening
can be taken as an indication, will be
glad to donate the parcel of land just
northeast of the Main street bridge as
a library site. At present the library
tax yields a revenue of about $500
annually for a library and it would
have to be increased a very little to
meet the requirements of the Carne-
gle corporation.

room of the American National
Bank building as an office. Mr..
Hansen is from Prosser, Wash, and
has been a prominent and active resi-
dent there. However the realty bus
mess has been overdone through irri-
cation exploitation and he desires to
locate here. Mr.. Hansen is a Ger
man and comes here largely because
of the face he has a number of warm
friends among the German farmers of
this section. His partner, a. j.
Houghton. will arrive shortly from
Prosser, coming overland in their
auto.
Mr.. Hansen declares that through
out eastern Washington a persistent
story is circulated to the effect that
the Pendleton Roundup is to be
moved to Portland. He states that
many people believe the story and is
of the opinion steps should be taken
to correct the wrong impression that

the case was brought up. the testi-
mony of Pendleton witnesses was
about all that was introduced.

chief of the bureau of chemistry of

he was fighting. DIR. Wiley comes as

Originally John E Gunckel. the
newsboys' friend, was scheduled to
speak but some difficulty was en-
countered in getting his dates ar
ranged and Wiley was substituted.
Because of his national prominence
and the cause to which he has dedi-
Gated his life a large crowd will

portunity to hear him. The tickets
