preparation for Federal Building

A renewed effort Is to be made by
the Pendleton Commercial associa-
tion to secure an additional appro-
priation from congress in order to
make the federal building large
enough to house both the postoffice
and the federal court President
Tallman was instructed to take the
matter up with the Oregon delegation
and to have other citizens write to
the senators and congressman at in
tervals so that they would not be per-
mitted to forget about the matter.
Through Senator Chamberlain II
has been learned that the bill intro
duced by Congressman Sinnott pro-
viding for an additional appropria-
tion does not provide for the housing
of the federal court already establish
ed here. Also letter from the Port
land Commercial club brought the
news that the government architects
are so crowded with work that it will
be from three to five years before
any plans can be drawn unless relief
Is given them through a bin intro
duced empowering them to employ
outside architects. Endorsement of
this bill was given by the local as
sociation last evening.

after the first of the year the MEM
bership committee intends starting an
active campaign to secure new mem
bers for the association. At present.

bers do not provide enough revenue
to meet all Of the expenses.

tion that there be different classes Of

that the dues for others be kept at a
dollar.

was one Of the best Of the year.

FOR DELAY ON BRIDGE HERE

a penalty of $40 day is what the
Portland Bridge 4 Iron Co. is paying
for its delay in completing the Star

Following the meeting OF the coun-
Gil last evening, an informal caucus
was held to consider the matter OF
extending the time limit for the
bridge. The council was practically
unanimous in refusing and in insist
ing upon an enforcement of the PEN
atty provided. The council virtually

Conditions Along Mexican Border
Given Prominent Attention.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.--Secre-
tary OF War Garrison submitted his
annual report today. The Mexican
situation is reviewed and the status
OF the United states army in the dif-
ferent possessions of the nation. is
said to be satisfactory. In part, the
secretary's report is as follows:
On July /. the authorized
strength of the regular army was 4, :
1853 officers and $3.50 enlisted men.
u decrease Of ~ officers and an in
crease Of 3401 enlisted men over the
preceding year. In addition the au-
thorized strength Of the Philippine
scouts was $50 officers and 5732 en-
listed men, the same as during the
preceding year.
One June 80. 1918. the actual
strength of the regular army was
79,9S6-4665 officers and 1891 en-
listed men. In addition to this. the
actual strength Of the Philippine
Scouts on June 80, 1913, was 1880 Of
ficers and 540s enlisted men, de-
crease during the year of ~ enlisted

ing the same as last year.
Military Operations.
An extensive border patrol has
been continuously maintained by
these troops from the Gulf Of Mexico
to Sasabe. 80 miles west of Nogales,
Ariz.. distance following the wind
ings of the frontier, of some 1900
miles Throughout this stretch OF
territory our troops have protected
the border from incurions by indi-
viduals or small raiding parties from
Mexico, have been continually on the
alert to prevent violations of the neu-
trality laws, and have acted In con-
junction with the civil authorities to
prevent illegal importations Of arms
and ammunition into Mexico in viola
ton of the presidents proclamation
of March IA. 1912.
The duty of our troops at border
towns during the conflicts between
the two contending Mexican factions
was of most trying nature, and the
conduct Of the troops under the cir
cumstances and the exercise Of good
judgment and self-restraint on the
part of commanding officers are
highly creditable.
