was drawn by Mr.. Joseph Bell. Ev-
cry member was highly elated over
his gift, and as the bundles were
taken from the large Christmas tree
and handed to each individual pres
ent, the unwrapping of the packages
to see their. contents was great sport
for all.
Four new members were initiated
in the order, Messrs. Charles Har-
rison and c. F. Mobiles of Bushnell
and Messrs J. VI. Thomas and n P.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS
HIS DISAPPEARANCE
PETER J. SUHL LEAVES HOME IN
HELIX EAST MONDAY.

What has become of Peter ]. Suhl,
prominent Helix farmer? He has
completely disappeared and his rela-
tives, friends and officers are con-
Quoting a search for him. Suspicious
or foul play are entertained inasmuch
as he had a considerable sum of
money upon his person when he dis
appeared.
Mr.. Suhl came to Pendleton last
Monday and since then he has drop
ped as completely from the ken of
his relatives as if he had dissolved
into thin air. After reaching Pen
dleton, he drew $4O0 out of the bank
and sent money order for $21O to
a sister in Iowa. Since then his
movements can not be traced. 1t was
thought that he might have boarded
a train to Iowa where his sister Is
living but telegram to the sister has
brought no response.
There is also a probability think
his relatives, that he has wandered
while temporarily irresponsible Last
summer he suffered a sunstroke while
in the harvest fields and since then
he has acted strangely at intervals.
The fact that he had about 5000 on
his person and his continued silence
are the only grounds anyone has for
entertaining ideas of foul play. There
is no known reason why he should
have disappeared deliberately. The
whole thing is a mystery to his people
and is causing them much worry.

coming back to Pendleton after be-
ing ordered to stay away and is now

to trouble serious enough to get free
board in the bastile for twelve days.
On her return to Pendieton. she be-
gan associating with negro and Chi
nese men, became drunk and ran
afoul of the officers again. The col
ored woman was Mrs. Maggie Mosely
and she was in court on charges by
her neighbors that she allowed her
chickens to run at large. She declar-
ed the wind and boys were respon-
sible as they were wont to open her
henhouse door. Sentence was sus-
pended upon her.

MANl0N-CLAMAN co.
GIVES GOOD SHOW

An appreciative audience at the
Oregon theater last night enjoyed the
Manion-Claman payers in THE Girl
from Keswicks." The story in this
intensely interesting drama is one of
political intrigue and displays the ten
dency of political leaders to go to
all lengths TO gain their ends. From
the first scene TO the final curtain,
the drama held the attention of the
audience and frequent applause show
ed that the play was being thorough
ly enjoyed
This production is among the best
that have been played here by a stock
company. The members of the cast
handled their parts with skill and
made the best of every tense situa-
ton.
The plays of the Manion-Claman
company are in many respects above
the average of stock productions. This
company will be here but two nights
more and the management expects
that full houses will be the rule dur
ing the remaining plays.
The Girl of the Hills" will be the
name of the bill for tonight.
On Sunday night, the Iast night of
the company here, the we'll known
drama East Lynne" will be the pro-
ductiOn.

81 to 60. E j. Murphy pointed out
II would be practically impossible un-
der a 81 per cent remonstrance to
improve such streets as east Court
where so per cent Of the property af-
fected is held by one owner, in this
case the O.-W. r. & N Co. Judge
Lowell pointed out that at present an
so per cent remonstrance Is required
by law but that as a matter Of prac-
tice only 81 per cent. The general
sentiment seemed to be tina a major
ity of the property owners should ruic
but favored increasing the percentage
limit to 60 in order to give the com
missioners leeway in cases such as
presented by east Court. Colonel Ra-
ley cast the single vote against this
proposal.
After considerable discussion, the
club voted to reduce the amount of
additional water bonds which the
commission could authorize from
800, 900 to $4,000 w. L. Thomp-
son strongly urged that the clause be
NhiiilAtolSu thhiifigt tiAdS a
bonding provision would kill the
charter with the voters.
If additional bonds are required. he
said, an amendment to the charter
| could be made by the commission.
Others took the view that power
should be given the commission to
sell additional bonds If more money
should become necessary to complete
the gravity system and the reduction
to $4,000 was In the nature of a
compromise.
w. L. Thompson also led a fight
to eliminate the clause providing that
all bonds sold by the city should be
| 20-30 bonds but he lost out for want
of a second to his motion. He held
that straight 20year or straight 30
year bonds would be more market
able and would save the city money,
stating that bond purchasers desire a
definite maturity. He favored giving
the commissioners power to make out
any kind of bond they saw fit. II
Murphy strenuously opposed this
as did several others.

Think it was Another Foster.

That the II. c. Foster who married
Miss Hattie Long of this city and then
made getaway with $1,000 which be-
longed to her is not the H. c. Foster
who until three months ago was cook
at the Eastern oregon state hospital
is the opinion of physicians at that
institution. They declare their belief
that it was another man of that name
whom she married. The dispatch
from San Francisco states that Miss
Long met Foster at Salem where he
was employed as cook and many be-
lieve he is the same man who was
here. They were married at Van
couver, Wash. and went to San Fran
cisco on the steamer Roanoke.
