CHARTER COMMITTEE RESCINDS
ACTION ON IMPORTANT POINTS

James Johns Safe.
The other clause stricken out lest
evening was the reassessment clause
clause recommended by the CONNER
cial club. This clause was taken from
the Portland commission charter
but had provision aimed TO make
it retroactive so as to provide for a
reassessment here that would have
made it possible for the city to have
made a reassessment on jackson
street and thereby forced James
Johns ct al to pay their prorata of
the cost of the paving of that thor
oughfare. Evidently this feature Of
the clause is what brought about its
downfall though r. Il. Johnson, one
of the attorneys for Johns asserts his
client would have been safe even had
the reassessment clause been left as
recommended by the Commercial
club. Col Raley. who like Mr.. John
son. represented property owners op-
posed to paving, was instrumental in
having the reassessment clause strick-
en- out last evening.
The proposed charter is now being
printed and will be circulated short

OF LEAGUE.

Roy w. Ritner. Pendleton's repre-
sentative on the directorate of the
Western Tri-state league. left this
morning for Walla Walla to attend
meeting of the directors at which

of the league. With Boise flirting
with the Union association and ths
attitude here not over-enthusiastic
there is probability that the league
will pass out of existence
A question which may precipitate q
hot discussion at the meeting today
concerns the matter OF pooling the
hotel and travelling expenses OF tho
teams during the past season and di-
viding them equally between the four
clubs Pendleton stands to get a re-
bate of about &4O0 II this IL done
and. inasmuch as the by-laws make
provision for such settlement II IN

Newport

The Ahwaneda brought in from
Bsndun 80 tons Of coal for the
Newport market. The people are
using more coal than before be-
cause it is cheaper than wood. The

can 60 out.
The barge Frederick is now un-
loaded and lying on the beach in
front of Olssonville. The barge is
greatly damaged but it will be re-
paired. The high tide of the 22d
damaged several of the scows. A
large wood scow that belonged to
Captain John Fogarty of the Truant
is greatly damaged and is now on
the beach. Both ends of the scow
we're stove in and it will cost con-
siderable to repair it. The storm
continues with heavy southwest
wind. The agate beds are all
covered up with sand. so it il hard
to find any agates.
The comedy play given in three
acts at the Midway Theater Decem-
ber 1920 was a decided success both
rs literary and financial venture.
This play is all local talent under
the management of Cecil Jefferies
Emery, young man of much ex-
perience in theatrical work. All
the characters in the play were
we'll sustained and it would have
been a credit to more experienced
players. The same play will be put
on at Toledo Saturday evening the
