Considerable interest has been
aroused in society circles in New
York City by the marriage of young
Arthur Gwynne, nephew of Mrs Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, to Miss Anna Re-
gina Kenna. She was an artists mod
ell; he is the son of wealthy broker.
But young Mrs. Gwynne Is as good
looking as the women the young man
has met in the society to which he
has been accustomed.
The pair slipped off to New Jersey
the other day, and after obtaining
license there were married by
Methodist clergyman. The authori-
ties of the state when they heard Oh
the case said that twenty-four hours
should have elapsed after the issuance
OF the license, according to the law
of New Jersey. Then, again, they
found the clerk for Cupid had been
told the bride was twenty-one years
old. 1t developed later she is not
more than seventeen. But what was
of more consequence to the young
woman. her mother insisted on re-
ligious ceremony and the pair had to
stand up before priest.

BROWNELl SAYS he IS
TO STAY IN the RACE

The following reply from G. c,
Brownell regarding his candidacy for
gubernatorial honors appears in the
oregonian of this morning:
I'm answer to your inquiry as to
whether 1 would withdraw as candi
date in the primaries for the nomina-
ton for governor now that our friend
T. T. Geer has announced himself as
candidate on portion OF the plat
form which I had heretofore declar-
ed in favor of, wish to say that Mr.
Greer admits in his declaration that
state should no longer remain half
dry and half wet" thereby admitting
and indorsing one of the principles of
my platform.
In answer I would say that the IL
quor problem either is right or it is
wrong. Mr.. Geer considers that it
would be wrong in the state of oregon
for the state to be half dry and half
wet. 1 agree with him, and follow II
up with the additional and broader
declaration that if it is wrong for the
state of Oregon to be half dry and half
wet, then it is wrong for the United
States at large to be half dry and half
wet.
1t is the same general problem that
bothered our fathers in regard to the
slavery questions. Thousands of the
people were willing to go half way
and for 80 years they compromised
with this great evil. Ny position is
that there should be no compromise
upon this question. 1t should be de-
termined upon the broader principle
be half dry and half wet in the state
Of Oregon, then it is wrong to be halt
wet and half dry in all states of the
United States.
am, therefore, for national pro-
hibition without any compromise, and
for state prohibition without any COM
promise, and for national woman suf-
frage, and in addition thereto. an
absolutely in favor of actual separa-
ton of church and state from poll
tics.
1, therefore, decline to withdraw
and shall stay in the fight to the end
with the idea in mind that this ough
to be made an issue in the republican
primaries, as it is bound to be an is
sue in the November election. If sue
cessful, 1 will be glad, and, If not
there will be no personal regrets, bu
we will have united party, workint
for the development and improvement
of our civic and economic life in thi!
state. in which I hope to bear SOM
little part. Sincerely yours,
GEORGE c. BROWNELL.

PORTLAND WOMAN
FLEES FROM MEXICO

DENVER, Feb. 24.-Only five Am
erican women are still in the city Of
Tampico. Mex, where a battle ragged
recently and where another attack by
Mexican constitutionalists is expected.
This word was brought by Mrs. Har-
old II. Webber Of Portland, Ore, one
of party of 13 women who left Tam
pico ten days ago at the urgent re-
quest of the American consul.
She is en- route to Portland Dis
cussing conditions at Tampico, she
said:
prices are high in Tampico be-
cause OF the war. I had only one
room there. without stick Of furni-
ture and without water or light at a
cost OF S3s a month. Light was 81 a
month extra. Houses rent at several
hundred dollars a month and they are
not good houses at that. Before !
came away wanted a pair of shoes.
THE Ordinary high ones cell at
$2s a pair, so ! contented myself with
low shoes at $13.
American women should stay
away from Tampico or any part OF OF
Mexico. They won't let an American
woman work down there. don
know what they would do with her II
she tried it-shoot her, I suppose. 1t
is understood by all classes that no
white woman must do anything outside
of her own home-thats a rule so
rigidiy enforced by custom that no one
has dared to break It.

PEND[ETON NOW IN
MARKET FOR BEEF
SEVEN CENTS Is TOP PRICE OF

of the beef the company has been
feeding here itself this winter the
Pendleton Meat Co is now in the mar
ket for cattle more extensively than
ii has been for some time past. While
there is necessarily limit to the am
cunt of beef the local company can
use the local market is often a favor
able one for the growers At times
in the past men have made more by
selling here than they could have
realized from the Portland market.
At this time price of seven cents
Is being quoted on extra choice stuff
according TO Ross Carney. packing
house manager. Considering the ele-
ment of freight that price is virtually
the same as the Portland price now
ruling. However, this top price is only
for the finest grade steers and it is
easy for the company to pick up beef
at prices around six and half cents.
AT the present time the local mar
fet like the Portland market reveals
about the same prices that prevailed
a year ago. The prices however. are
not pleasing to the growers because
of the fact all who bought cattle to
feed were compelled to pay higher
prices than usual last fall. Hence
there is scant show for profit with the
market as it now stands.
Much Livestock Sold Yesterday
was an extremely heavy day in the
Portland livestock market and many
eastern Oregon growers were among
the sellers Prices held rather well
considering the rush to market. The
bulk of the steers sold at from SIX

LIBRARY NOTES.

The parcel post will admit books
after March 18th which will be of the
greatest benefit to all county library
systems The rate in the first zone
will allow the average book to be sent
for six cents. County readers may
send directly to the central library for
books not found in the nearest branch
These will be sent out by parcel post.
the library paying the postage one
way and the borrower paying return
postage. Readers are expected to
make special use of their own branch
library but this will give additional
accommodation when necessary. Bor-
rowers card must accompany such re-
quest. If person is not already reg
istered at their branch, the book will
be sent there where the borrower can
call for it and register at the same
time.
Local Library Boards.
There has been some misunder-
standing in several cities as to
whether it was necessary or allow
| able to have a local board appointed
| by the mayor to provide a room for
the branch library and to look after
it's maintenance. The law does not
make special provision for this under
| the county system. So the progress In
several places has been delayed till
| the matter was settled.
Miss Marvin. the state librarian
and Judge Maloney of the county
court say it is not necessary to have
officially appointed boards but both
think it advisable in order to give the
work more efficient and permanent
| footing. Miss Marvin has furnished
sample ordinance that is being ad-
| opted in the smaller cities. Alto
gether, the prospects for branch Ii.
braries throughout Umatillo county
look very encouraging, due to th'
general interest of the reading pub
lie and the special efforts of thu

allowed to take care of that place by
the common council.
Instead he will start at salary Of
from $500 to $4,000 year, accord
ing to an announcement made by
James ID. May. OF the civil service
commission. The applicants for the
position will be compelled to take q
civil service examination.
Corporation Counsel Lawson has au.
thority to make his own promotions,
and he will advance each of his other
assistants and place the newcomer at
the bottom Of the list.
Investigation OF charges that the
fire commission has ignored the civil
service commission and has rejected
men from the eligible list will be made
in a meeting of the civil service
board next Monday night. according
to Commissioner May.
The friction between the two depart
ments seems to arise from the fact
that the fire board conducts Its own
examinations In addition to those i'm.
posed by the civil service commission,
and maintains its right TO reject men
who cannot pass certain tests. ire
