TO ASK FOR AN
ADDITIONAL sum
TO The $4,000
CONF ERCiAL CLUB ACTS
Dissatisfied With Appropriation, City
VIII Try to Secure $4,000 More
for Federal Building-If Unsuccess-
full. Plans VIII Be Drawn So as TO
Allow for Addition.

Dissatisfied with the plan of pro-
cedure outlined by the assistant Sec
retary of the treasury. the Pendleton
Commercial association last evening
decided to ask congress for an addi-
tional appropriation of $4,000 for the
construction of federal building
suitable to the needs of the city If
efforts to this end meet with no sue
cess. the supervising architect will be
asked to draw plans for a postoffice
to come within the $4,000 appropria-
ton and yet which will permit of an
addition being built for a federal
court room at a later date.
The action taken last evening fol-
lowed the receipt of letter from the
first assistant secretary of the treas
ury in which he stated that plans
would be drawn for a one-story build
ing to be used for postoffice only
No mention was made of accommoda-
tions for the federal court and a re-
cent suggestion from Secretary Rit-
ner that. by the use of local materials
a building large enough for both post
office and federal court might be
priation. was ignored. The letter al
so stated that the department could
not take up the plans for some time,
and altogether. it was decidedly un-
satisfactory.
Following a discussion. Judge Steph-
en- A. Lowell made the motion that
the secretary and president be in
structed to furnish the Oregon con-
gressional delegation with complete
data regarding the needs of a federal
building and that an additional ap-
preparation be asked at the next ses-
sion Judge G w. Phelps seconded
the motion and it carried unanimous
ly.
Judge w r. Ellis. who. while a
member of congress. was instrument
al in securing the first appropriation
was present at the meeting and eX-
planned the action he had taken. Mr.
Taylor supervising architect. and I
went over the matter several times" >"
he stated. "and he was of the opin-
ion that plans should be drawn. in
case no further appropriation was re-
ceived. so that the roof could be rails
ed and an additional story built on at
a later date, At that time there was
nothing certain about Pendleton being
made the headquarters of the federal
court. l think that at the next ses-
sion an additional appropriation could
have been secured had not either my
successor or the people of Pendleton
neglected the matter"
Askd for his opinion. Judge Ellis
stated that it would probably be an
easier matter for Pendleton to get
an additional appropriation now that
the federal court is located here
Several were of the opinion that a
building. large enough for both post
office and court. could be constructed
for $4,000 il native materials were
used, but Judge Ellis declared the
Washington architects generally had
their own opinions as to what ma
terials should be used and that It
would be difficult to change them

one can hardly appreciate the mag
nitude of the Eastern Oregon State
Hospital unless he is able to make a
careful investigation of the methods
used in conducting this great institu-
ton for the mentally deficient. In
recent issue of the East Oregonian,
an idea of the modern ways of treat
ing the insane was given, and ii was
shown that today these unfortunate
persons are regarded as sick persons
and were treated accordingly. In or
der that this treatment may be most
efficient it is necessary that the
handling of these people be carried
on upon a scientific and systematic
plan. and for that reason an institu-
ton such as we have here, as well
as the one at Salem, and the other
large institutions of the state, main

probably second to none.
