due to a lack OF ammunition. The

renewed offensive.

a difficult task in regaining all the

Mnnt On Name Restored.

A petition was presented last ev-
ening by residents OF the north end
of Matlock street asking that the old
name Of Blaine be restored to that
portion north of Jackson. Judge
Lowell presented the petition and gave
the reasons for the change as three
namely. that most Of the property
owners desired it for sentimental rea-
sons, that the street jogs off at Jack
son street and could thus be separate
from the remainder Of Matlock
street and that all OF the old plats on
file show this as Blaine street The
change in the name was made when
the new bridge was built so that the
street would bear the same name ON
both sides of the river. Matlock was
chosen in honor OF the late Mayor w.
f. Mauock. No action was taken
last evening but the councilmen SEEM
ed favorably disposed toward grant
ing the petition.

New SprinkIerS to
be Bought for Use
on City's Streets
WORK or ALLAYING DUST WILL
NOT BEGIN TILL NEW EQUIP
MENT ARRIVES.

Sprlnkllng Of Pendleton's streets
will not be commenced until the city
can buy some new sprinkling tanks.
At the meeting of the council last
evening Councilman Murphy reported
that II would cost $3.50 to put the
present tanks in repair, whereas a
new wooden one may be bought for
5000 and a new steel tank for $3.50.
Upon motion the city recorder was
instructed to advertise for bids upon
two or three steel tanks. Until these
are purchased, the streets will be
sprlnkled only when Jupiter Pluvlus
opens up his faucets.
Numerous and sundry matters
came before the council for consider
alton last evening, among them being
"A renewal Of the request Of property
owners along Riverside Drive for
proceedings necessary for paving that
by-way. DR.. NJ. s. Kern called atten-
ton to the fact that all OF the prop
erty owners are willing and eager
for the Improvement and that II is
sorely needed The obstacle seems
TO be the inability to secure deed
70 25 square feet OF the dripeway for
use as a street. The owner Of Brown
Hall does not answer any Of the COM
municatios sent to him and condem-
nation proceedings would greatly de-
lay the work.
The purpose Of the property own
ers was to have the driveway paved
from Main 10 Raley but objections
we're interposed by members Of the
council last evening TO this program
on the grounds that the city would
have to pay for the block of pave
ment along the south end of the old
cemetery The expense, they thought,
would not be justified by the number
OF people accommodated. The upshot
OF the discussion was that efforts will
be made to have the driveway paved
as far as possible In the immediate
future.

Santa Is
Up Against it
Now!

BERLIN, Aug. 2S (via London,
11:lO p. m)-American business men
in Germany are taking the gloomiest
view Of the fate Of the great quanu-
ties of goods ordered in Germany for
the American Christmas trade. They
say the loss Of these goods will amount
to millions. orders totalling about
$5O,0OO,OOO for such wares as toys,
Bohemian glassware, brOnzes, Christ
mas cards and optical speCialties had
been. placed mostly last autumn for
summer delivery II Is stated, TINS
being the usual practice in order TO
give American wholesale dealers an
opportunity to place the goods. the
articles are all OF a seasonal value and
become virtually valueless unless de
livered Immediately. However, the
British order in council, although not
effective when the orders for the
goods were placed, prevents such a
delivery.
American dentists, who constitute
one of the most numerous elements
among the Americans In Europe, also
are suffering under the war situation.
This Is not on account of any anti
American feeling or any slackening in
the demand for their services, but be
cause they are unable to get dental
supplies and artificial teeth from
America.
From the lighter side, the order in
council also is playing havoc with goli
supplies. Golf balls and clubs are
being exhausted rapidly and ardent
golfers are obiurgating England and
/ planning an appeal TO their fellow
enthusiasts in America.
