$4,000 HOTEL
FOR THIS CITY

A SIS 900 hotel for Pendleton is not
only possibility but a probability. A
move is already on foot to construct
such building in the city and it is
understood that $4,000 has already
been subscribed to that end. The
men who are behind the movement
have been working quietly but ear
nestly and, while they have not pro-
ceeded far enough to disclose their
names or plans, they are willing to
announce their project and to declare
their intention of putting it through
if possible.
The announcement has been receiv-
ed by the public with great approval
for it is generally felt that Pendleton
is behind many of her sister cities
in the matter of hotel accommoda-
tions. There are several hotels here.
respectable, decent and fairly well
equipped, but they are lacking in the
modern conveniences and facilities
which characterize such hotels as the
Marion in Salem and the Osborn in
Eugene.

place has become since the patients
have been housed and the work OF
beautifying begun, With the appro-
priation made by the legislature. Su-
perintendent McNary plans to begin
al once to lay off the grounds and
when this has been done, one will
have to go a long way before seeing
a more beautiful spot
In the buildings themselves, there
is a good deal of work yet to be done.
The stage in the assembly room is not
finished but will be shortly, as Dr.
McNary will let a contract sometime
this week for the scenery. The Ii
brary room is not completed but with
the legislative appropriation for this
purpose it is prbable that supply of
books will be ready in a few weeks.
There are still a few operating rooms
which have not been finished and
work on these is being pushed ahead
as rapidly as possible.
The patients appear to be quite
contented in their surroundings They
have the advantages of wide, open
air porches where they can go when
ever they desire, and many of them
have the privilege of the grounds
where they can enjoy the balmy air
and the bright sunshine.
DR.. McNary has already begun to
have much of the grounds cleared and
plans to clear large area of orchard
trees so as to make it available for
other purposes.
The superintendent is also preparing
to build himself and family a cottage
on grounds adjoining the asylum, and
probably this work will commence
within a few weeks.

ASK FARMERS TO

An agricultural conference has bee,
called for Saturday. March Is. at tn,

er ways and means for making senate

ture, most effective. The farming in.
terests have been particularly invited
to attend and make suggestions upon
which the Oregon Agricultural col
lege may act. The gathering was
called by Dr. w. ]. Kerr, president of
the o. A. C.
This masure.' it is realized is of
wide scope, concerning at is does the
whole state, and it was drawn solely
for the development of the farming
districts. 1t is earnestly desired by
Dr. Kerr that the new extension work
shall have the benefit of practical ad-
vice and he wants the farmers organ
izations to make their wants known in
the matter.
Demonstration Farms Planned.
The bill provides for the establish
ment of demonstration farms through
out Oregon, to be run by the college
in cooperation with the farmers of
the various districts where the farms
are placed, and expert agriculturists
will be in charge, ready to advise and
work with the farmers in order to
get the best results in the different
sections. This work has been found
to be productive of splendid results
in a number of Middle West states,
where it has been put to a thorough
test, and it is thought this movement
marks the beginning of a tremendous
agricultural development of Oregon.
1t is felt that it can be launched with
the greatest success after a thorough
consideration of what is most needed
and the conference next Saturday is
called for that purpose.

MANY BUILDINGS
ARE GOING UP

With the warm, sunny days arrived
there has been a considerable impetus
given to building activities in Pendle-
ton and the sound of the saw is be-
coming familiar again.
Among the more extensive inn
provements now under way are the
two concrete livery barns, one on east
Court street and one on Cottonwood.
Both are to replace old wooden sta
bles and answer the demand of the
times. Mrs. Ida Fowler is construct
ing the Court street building on her
lot opposite the court house which
has been occupied by the Telephone
stables for some years. The old
structure has already been torn down
and the excavation for the new is well
under way. A large tent has been
stretched on the lot just to the east
and this is being used as a temporary
home for the stables.
Gibson and Cole have the contract
for the barn on Cottonwood street ana
the excavation work is now nearly
done. The building will, be of con-
crete and will be so constructed that
if Cottonwood street ever becomes a
principal business thoroughfare, it
can be conveniently changed into a
store building and another story for
offices added.

building which will house his store.
Among the new residences soon to
be built are a handsome $4,000 bum

LITTLE NEW IN THE
COTTON MARKET
Main Influence Promises
to Be Deal in
July

New Orleans. La, June S.-The cotton
market this week promises little new.
There are no reports and the end of til
present condition periov will still be far
enough off to prevent any active interest
in condition figures The main influence
promises to be the zeal in July and II is
probable that any bullish DEVELOPMENTS
in this direction will continue to success
fully balance favorable crop and weather
news.
A fairly large short interest exists and
this interest gets nervous over bullish
talk regarding the July position. We're
it not for the operations in July the
market would probably work lower on
good crop news. Sh, rts. one and all, are
predicting that prices will break sharply
once the July position is liquidated.
What the shorts most fear are large
shipments of cotton from this side OF the
water as the result of large acceptdnces
of deliveries on contracts Any news
this week that will tend to show that
such shipments are nronable will have
a strong bulish effect on the market.
New crop news has been so favorable
of late that the lulls have gone TO
claiming that any change must he in
their favor. No 81 otion of the belt is
complaining at the faoment and 10 sec
tion needs rain badly or desires any great
change in temperatures. Bright, warm
weather with occasional showers are the
conditions most desired over the entire
cotton region. Too much rain, too cool

considered un adorable. A continuation

lish operations in July, would probably
