The records at the police station
show that he was arrested on May 4,
1912, upon a warrant charging him
with the violation of ordinance No.
607, known as the transient merchan-
disc ordinance, which makes it crime
to sell merchandise upon the streets
OF Pendleton without first obtaining a
license.

FEDERAL BUREAU
WILL BE MOVED

Pendleton is to lose the northwest
department of the federal bureau of
animal industry which has been To-
Gated here for the past half dozen
years and Walla Walla is to gain it.
An order was received this morning
by DR.. Harry E. Pinkerton. chief of
the department, to move his office to
Walla Walla on the first OF next
month.
The order came as a surprise to DR..
Pinkerton as he had had no intima-
ton that such a move was being con-
templated until yesterday. As an ex-
PLANTATION of the order for removal,
he is notified that the officials at
Washington have decided to consoli-
date two offices and that hereafter
the local chief will have charge of
the meat inspection work as we'll as
the field work. Walla Walla has a
meat packing establishment and it is
probably for that reason that the
headquarters Is changed to that city.
DR.. w. V. Glaisyer, one of the dep
uties who has also made his head
quarters here. has as yet received no
blhtlS anu uOCS uOl huOW MHtlIltl
or not he. too, will be removed, DR..
J. c. Wilson, another of the deputies
who is now doing some field work
in Idaho, has been ordered to Miles
City, Montana.
The news of the order will be un-
welcome to local people both because
It will remove an important depart
ment of federal work and because it
will take citizens who have made
many friends while living here
The department was located in
Pendleton some six years ago at the
time when scab was so rampant am
ong the sheep of eastern Oregon that
a quarantine had to be maintained.
DR.. s. w. Mcclure was then in
charge and he was succeeded by his
deputy, DR.. Pinkerton, when elected
to the position of secretary of the
National Woolgrowers' association.

at Luther College.

The Winneshiek County Norwe
gian Pioneers held their annua
meeting on Saturday afternoon jus

size, and in it lived Mr.. and Mrs

Koren and wife, the late president
of the Norwegian Synod and pastor
of Washington Prairie church. A
calico curtain divided the cabin in
to two rooms, ore of which was U.S.
ed as bedroom and was further
divided by another calico curtain.
The main room was used as parlor,
kitchen, dining room. study, etc.,
and here these sturdy pioneers liv-
ed in peace and happiness, laying
the foundation and blazing the trail
of Norwegian life in Winneshiek
county and northern Iowa. The cab
in will stand for many years on the

with relics of early days. Many ar
ticles of furniture, etc. have alrea-
dy been donated from various parts
OF the country, including beds,
quilts. churn, cups, kettles, lantern,
revolver, etc. and a fund has been
started to provide for repairs and
