One business man of the city who
acts as an agent for landlords, stated
today that he could have rented
house every day during the past 80
days If they had been available.
Another factor testifying to the
property and growth of Pendleton is
the fact that local carpenters and
painters are working continuously
and are not adequate in number to
do all of the building work. Several
contractors have been forced to send
for labor to Walla Walla and other
cities where there is not so much ac-
tivity.

GREAT DEARTH Of HOUSES TO RENT

Pendleton is the only city in the
northwest, probably, where houses to
rent at this time are at a premilm.
Although the house renting season is
yet early. there are no empty houses
within the city limits. The many
residences erected during the past
year have not relieved the shortage
to any noticeable extent and the de-
mand now. a month before the open
ing of school and the consequent
moving of many families to the city
for the winter, greatly exceeds the
supply.
