Taken to Poor Farm.

Harry Mcdonald. at one time one
of the wealthy men of eastern Oregon
and large property owner in Pend
leton was committed to the Morrow
county poor farm in this city last
Friday. Harry has been a familiar
figure on the streets of Heppner for
the past few years. He has had
practically no mean of supnort for he
has grown to old to gain living with
his own hands. Several years baoK
Mr.. Mcdonald owned what ls now
the most valuable property in the
city of Pendleton but as he says, "I
lost it all by drink and gambling. "
He went to the poor farm with tesrs
in his eyes, "boys" he said to the
fellows who we're talking to him as
the officer came up to take him away,
"I never thought / would spend my
last days in the poor house. f" And
the officer took him over the hill.

'WOMAN'S CLUB PUBLIC
MEETING IS OF INTEREST

The Ely Woman's Club presented
most interesting program at the
open meeting yesterday afternoon,
held at the county high school build
ing. There was good attendance,
and those not regular members had
an opportunity to witness the lines
along which the club Is working for
the good and advancement of the
community.
An unexpected attraction was the
presence of Mrs. e. l.. Robertson,
who has been prominent and active
in women's club work, and who was
charter member and vice president
of the first woman's club. organized
twenty-five years ago in Orange, NJ.
From this organization has develop
ed the present widespread scope of
woman's organization. Mrs. Robert
son was also an organizer of the Fed
Grafton of Woman's club. and an in
innate friend of Mrs. Brown of the
Federation. Mrs. Robertson was a
speaker at yesterdays meeting, and
spoke Interestingly on the origin of
the Federation of Woman's clubs.
Others taking part in the program
were Probation Officer David Reedy,
Senator Comins and Mrs. ]. w. Gum.
Mr.. Reedy gave an interesting outline
of his work, from the time of his ap-
pointment to the position to the pres
ent and also told how he happened
to receive the appointment. 1t was
a talk of particular import to parents,
as the efforts of the probation officer
can be greatly assisted by the CO.
operation of parents.
Senator Comins, who Is a member
of the county board OF education,
said that he Was going to tell the
meeting how the selection of the high
school building site was brought
about. But the senator changed his
mind and didn't enlighten the au-
dience. giving as his reason the prob
ability that the matter would be thor
oughly "aired" within a short time,
through other sources.
Fhe meeting concluded with an in
structive paper on "Eugenics.' by
Mrs. Gum.
The next meeting of the club will
be at the school building, Saturday
afternoon, April 10.

FIRE SCARE WHEN CABIN
ON SIXTH STREET BURNS

A cabin near McDonald's black
smith shop and owned by Jake Shall
enbarger, caught fire yesterday after
noon, and before water was turned
on was blazing like a wood box full
of paper AS the wind was blowing
strong the fire looked dangerous for
few minutes, but when the firemen
sent two sloshing hose streams into
the flames the blaze was quickly ex-
tinguished and no adjoining property
was damaged. The building on the
north caught fire just before the ar
rival of the fire department but was
soon out of danger owing to the
quick work of the department.
The burned building had been oc-
cupied by Albert Rose who was out
of town at the time. The cause of the
fire is unknown. 1t is thought no
insurance was carried on the build
ing.~

CITY CLERK DICKINSON
REELECTION CANDIDATE

The registry books. in charge of
Judge Bragg, are open for the city
election, which comes May 9th. AL
though several weeks ahead, Ii is
time candidates who are desirous of
having a hand in the choice of of
ficials should attend to the formality
of registring.
Thus far prospective candidates
have been rather apatehtic and non
committal as to whether or not they
would run, and this. applies to most
of the encumbents as to the possibili-
ty of their being candidates for re-
election. 1t is however probable that
several of the present city officials
will conclude to run again and be-
come candidates before the campaign
is very much older.
The only official thus far who has
come out with announcement that he
is in the race, is c. w. Dickinson,
city clerk and candidate for re-elec-
tion. Little Dick" as he is
familiarly called, has been city clerk
for the past two years, and has full
filled the duties so we'll that IL is
very doubtful If any one will come
forward with any reason as to why
he should not be reelected. He has
proved his competency for the posi-
ton, has lots of friends, and con-
Quoted the affairs of the Office in a
way generally satisfactory. 1t is
pretty confidently believed that
Little Dick" will continue in the
city clerks Office.

County School Board
Decides On Site Of
High School, Building

The site for the county high school
building has been decided upon, 1.-THE
board of education at a meeting last
Wednesday voting in favor of the
site adjoining the Hermansen addi-
tion. offered by the Ely Securities
company. The meeting of the board
of education, including Lindsay Dun
can, DR.. r. H. Richardson and Fl. A.
Comins, was one marked by some
spirited argument, the board not be-
ing unanimous in the choice, Mr..
Comins opposing the site favored by
the other two members of the board.
Bnt the majority vote decided in
favor of the site as named.
The lot decided upon is approxi-
mately 400 by 600 feet and COM
prises six acres which are purchased
from the Securities company for 500
per acre. The site is opposite the
Central Ely stopping place on the Ne
vada Northern railroad and south of
the highway leading from Ely to
East Ely.
| The members of the board of edu-
cation favoring the location state
that in their opinion the choice is an
ideal one, the ground being of ma
ture that will give the building a
perfect foundation and thus permit
the erection of the structure at much
less cost than upon any other site
that has been considered, and that
on no other site offered was there suf-
fcient ground for the needs of a
| high school building. They stated to
representative of the News yester-
White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1913-04-06

day that the same amount of ground
In any of the other locations would
have cost many thousands of dollars
and reduced the appropriation for
the building almost one-half. Other
desirable features which influenced
the board in its selection were per-
feet drainage, insuring a dry base
ment that can be fitted for gym
nasium and other purposes, aud that
the site Is also within easy reach of
students from all parts of the dis
trict. and removed from Influences
which might tend to distract the at
tention of students from their work.
1t is proposed to put the ap-
proaches to the school grounds in the
best possible shape. and the Nevada
Northern railroad will erect shelter
at the Central Ely stopping place for
the accommodation of those pupils
using the railroad to and from
school.
1t is proposed to start work as
soon as possible after the required
advertising for thirty days for re-
ceiving bids, and it is hoped to have
the building in readiness for oc-
cupancy in the early fall In case
the building is not fully completed.
the board of education states that
the opening of the fall term may be
delayed until such time as the new
ehool house is ready for use. or In
case the delay would prove too long,
the present county high school could
be utilized until the new structure Is
ready.

woes; they love a train, they tread
each others heels. Pryor.
John Magnuson would be justified
| in the belief that after all there Is
something in the broken mirror
hodoo. as following on the heels of
the mishap to the Ely Photoplay
mirror screen, that was discovered
broken to bits last week, came disas-
ter to Mr.. Magnuson's Ford car,
from fire.
This mishap occurred Monday, near
Fizhugh creek. in Steptoe valley. Mr..
Magnuson and Surveyor John H.
Watson had gone to the formers
ranch, and on returning had stopped
at a point about four miles south
from the ranch. leaving the car and
proceeding up the creek couple of
miles to do some surveying. Soon
after their attention was called to an
unusual smoke arising from where
they left the car and upon hurrying
back found the rear of the machine
all ablaze. The two men were mind
full of the danger of the explosion of
the gasoline tank, but nevertheless
attacked the flames with sand, and
succeeded in putting out the fire be-
fore the car became total loss. The
principal damage was done to the
rear of the automobile, and the en-
gine and connecting parts were not
much the worse for the experience.
Neither did the gasoline tank ex-
piode, which is probably fortunate,
as in such an event the ruin would
have been complete, and the freight
ers themselves might have received
serious injury.
The fire was somewhat disas-
trous for Mr.. Watson, as he had
left his coat in the car, and this was
burned together with some valuable
papers in the coat pockets. The car
rying case of his transit and several
parts of his surveying instruments
were also ruined.
While running across the desert to
the burning car, Mr.. Watson STUN
bled and took a nasty header. He was
carrying the transit which was badly
damaged by the crash resulting from
Mr.. Watson's fall.
The car will be repaired. Mr.
Magnuson, by the way, has received
word from the manufacturers of the
mirror screen, that new one Is to be
shipped forthwith, and that a man
will accompany the big glass on its
journey from the factory to the
theater, to see that no unavoidable
accident occurs. to result in another
smash.
