may be said to be the founders of the
organization. These two are still ac-
tive members and supporters OF the
Commercial association.
Another notable fact in connection
with this organization Is that 1t has
occupied the same quarters. continu-
ously, from its organization to the
present. The rooms now used were
selected and occupied on February %,
1893
AS an illustration of the changes
which have occurred during the life
of this association, 1t is notable that
early In its history, September 9Th,
1893. a resolution was passed direct
ing that the use of a telephone be
|. discontinued and the instrument be
removed from the quarters. 1t would
be hard for any live organization TO
dispense with that necessity TO-DAY.
The first piece of public business
TO claim the attention of the members
of the Pendleton Commercial associs-
ton was that OF improving the means
of communication by road with the
Umatilla Indian agency, five miles
east of town. The present road lead
ing eastward from the city limits IS
the direct result of that initial effort
on the part OF the organization. Fol-
lowing this other road betterments
were discussed and investigated and
wherever practicable action looking
to Improvement was taken
little more than year after the
original organization OF this associa'
ton. the subject Of town library
was taken up ana on May lst' 1894 II

Past Year Has Been
Banner Year For New
Sidewalk Construction

Sidewalk building has kept apace
with street improvement during the
past year. In fact there has been SO
much activity in this. particular line
of work that several new cement con-
tractors have entered into the field
A total of 81 permits were issued,
during the year for the laying of
concrete walk and in every instance
an old wooden walk has been re-
placed by one of cement. a city ordi-
nance now prohibiting anything but
hard surface walks
Approximately 1880 feet of cement
walk has been laid during the year
and the improvement has been
slightly one. The next year promises
ell is condemning old walks just as
soon as they show that they have out
lived their usefulness.
The records at the city hall show
that June was the banner month for
walk building. A total OF 30 permits
were issued in that month. Pract
cally all of the building was done be-
tween the months of May and De-
cember for the winter chill generally

The story Of the man who lived In
a certain section Of a state in the
south and who died and failed to go
to heaven is reputed to have written
back to his friends on earth and told
them to send along his blankets. The
inference Is that the state in which
he resided for many years at times
grew rather uncomfortably warm and
not being used to the chiiler atmos-
phere Of the hereafter where the
fires are always kept burning and no
furnaces are needed In the winter. he
probably felt justified in making
request for his blankets to aid to
the comfort Of his stay. 1t is all
matter Of climate. Environment
makes the man, according to some
authorities. And the Inhabitants Of
hot. sultry places could he excused
for hot. sultry tempers. A crouch In
the warm summer is likely to be-
come the unhappy accompaniment oi
almost any man.
One would think that the subject
of climate would be most uninter-
esting sort of thing to write about. 1t
would, in any other part of the globe
but Pendleton. But being the clim-
ate here, and In fact throughout
Umatilla county. the most pleasant
things can be said about 1t without
losing ones temper. Mark Twain
said something about the climate of
New England-where the changes are
varied and at times strenuous-and
It is to be supposed that he lost his
temper In doing It for If there is
anything that cannot be depended

But II he ever had occasion to visit
Umatilla county and Pendleton, while
his remarks might have been Of de-

have had to mention the duststorms.
But the climate the pure, undi-
luted climate, what is It? Well it's
the climate, that's all. and that's
about all that can be said. When 1t
comes to defining the climate, one
scarcely knows how to begin and n
dictionary definition conveys nothing
but technical knowledge which the
