NEW YORK. July 2i.-The general
trend of prices was downward at the
opening of today's stock market. Ca
madam Pacific and American Can fell
a full point In the early dealing and
New Haven at 99a4 equaled its recent
low record
The only marked exceptions to the
lower tendency We're Biscuit and Amer

New Haven scored a new low record
soon after the opening, declining TO
99as, from which il made full recovery
Pronounced weakness was shown by
Baltimore and Ohio and Colorado Fuel
while the leaders which We're lightly
traded in were fractionally lower.
Curious Contradiction.
Today's early stock market presented
a curious contradiction of conditions,
most of the potential issues showing
heavy tendency while various specialties
made material gains.
A prominent feature was New Haven.
which declined to a new low record. but
soon recovered TO a fraction above Yes

declined liz. also made partial recovery
Can Smelling, Cotton Oil and Colorado
Fuel displayed some heaviness
Peoples Gas was strongest of the spe-
cialties. its rise approx;mating points
Biscuit, Beet Sugar. American Tobacco
and 800 gained from 1s4 TO over
points.
Trading was dull and professional
In government bonds Is and As fell to
low record prices
Strong Technical Position.
Fairly large buying orders gave the
list an appearance of activity and
strength at midday. Scarcity of stocks
on the previous decline also disclosed
strong technical position, which ia
cilitated the brisk upturn.
Steel. Union Pacific. Reading. Pacific
and the Coppers rose from to n.
above yesterdays close. before realiz-
ing small profits to check the move
ment.
The activity of the noon hour was
soon followed by relapse to dizziness
of forenoon. but prices evinced no
tendency to recede.
On the contrary. most OF the active
issues improved their position.

PENDLETON'S
PROGRESSIVE
SPIRIT
Shown in Selection Of Modern Type
of Street Improvements
Type Of Street improvement.

Pendleton through the intelIg, ,ence
and business acumen of its citizens.
has unquestionably become the big
gest and most progressive city Of its
size in the country.
In no single instance has this pro-
grescsive Spirit been better demon
strated than IN the selection and ad-
herence to the type of pavement laid
here. The same spirit that made the
Roundup OF national prominence. ex-
erted itself against all opposition and
after thorough investigation decid-
ed that the best was the cheapest and
none too good for the town. AS re-
suit Bitulithic was selected and first
laid .eight years ago on Main street
and East Court street and the wis
dom and advantage of this selection
IS best shown by the fact that these
streets after eight years of heavy
traffic are apparently just as good as
when first laid. and. have not requir-
ed the expenditure Of a single dollar
in maintenance. Last year. forty ad-
ditional blocs of this pavement were
laid and at least fifty more Will have
been laid or contracted for this year.
The adherence to Bitulithic was not
accomplished without considerable op-
position from within and without and
although several different types OF
pavement reported to be Just as good
but cheaper" fought desperately for an
entrance, the Pendleton spirit, in the
light Of their knowledge of Bitulithic.
and it's apparent superiority, refused
TO experiment
With the increasing popularity and
realization of the advantage accruing
from. this type of pavement. Pendleton
will soon be in the first rank OF cities
having well paved streets. The i'm
petus to real estate values since the
adoption of this pavement on resi-
dence streets has even exceeded the
highst expectations. In one instance
I'm particular can be shown of a lot

he sold for $4,000 before this street
was paved. which sold for 800 90
fter the pavement was completed and
the buyer assumed the cost of the

practically a triple increase In value
most of which is undoubtedly due To
the pavement. The record of real es-
tate transactions in Pendleton in the
| last two years will show that fully 90
per cent of the property that changed
