So unto the Short Line edict
That the diner will be arid,
Comes the knowledge that the dryness
Will be minus thusly, mostly;
For the liquid can be purchased

mond, the famous bison Of the Cen
trail park geological garden, whose
image adrons one side Of the nickel,
will be slain in a few days, but his
massive head will be preserved and

WAR MOTHERS

Inc war DaD1eS u EUROPE arc UoS1u-
ming to arrive, and thousands more of
them will shortly be ushered into exis-
tence, many of them never to know
their fathers.
Many curious and interesting situa-
tions have arisen following the demand
Of Germany and England that their
girls and women respond to the countrys
cause that the race might be perpetual
led. A frank condition arose at the out
set Of the war, when authorities and
clergy insistently demanded that the
women do their part toward bearing the
burden Of war by marrying or affiliat-
ing with their warriors before they left
for the field. The consequence is count
less thousands Of new children. The
women responded in spirited and fear
less manner.
Now the problem arises ~ to what is
to be done toward legitimizing these
children, and the laws are being con.
strued to make the "war mother' just
as honorable q woman as the regularly
married women, and why mott Perhaps
in this later day, it may be something
of q shock to old set principles and
man made law, or theory, and it may
transpire that nice little ideas Of moral
ity and sense Of modesty may be shock
ed, but it never has developed on earth
under peaceful times that child Dor,
Of real love was particularly bad chilt
and more can be said of the "wal
babies" those babies that were the re
suit of girls and women yielding to here
worship and country's call.
The most celebrated woman physical,
in England has her say, and this is hel
opinion:
"Most babies are born healthy, ant
if the military doctors have done thei
duty to the troops under their care
these war babies should be healthie
than illegitimate children in general
Just because their fathers have bee,
living with higher standard of health
and hygiene while under military dis
cipline and medical control. Woman =
work, then, is clear-to secure to thes,
war mothers for the sake of thei
babies, what Sir George Newman call
the minimum requirements for health,
motherhood.
Little, then, remains of the mora
lethics in the matter. The babies ant
their mothers are here. Their father
may be torn to pieces or lost in tn
maelstrom Of battle. The problem j
to take care of the coming race, AM
codes and theories can sanely be Sc
aside in the process.
The whole case is put strongly by tn
editor of the New York Times as fol
lows:
"Awoman who is about to present tn
state with war baby, who in doin,
SO risks her life to protect the rae
from the adverse eugenic effects o
war, might be pardoned for asking b.
whom she needs to be forgiven and 70
WHAT She is in a position, indeed t
raise a most embarrassing issue.
woman can not give her life in battle
as q man does; she has another funs
ton, which is to replace life, and sh
who performs this function, out. Of wed
lock may make q greater sacrifice tina
one who has observed the forms.'

THE PEOPLE At PILOT ROCK
JUNCTION WANT ROAD WORK
COMMUNITY MEETING Is HELD
TO DISCUSS THE QUESTION
MANY ATTEND.

The people in the vicinity Of Pilot
Rock junction are very anxious for
some road work and a community in
terest meeting was held Saturday ev-
cning. The following report Of the
gathering has been handed the East
Oregonian:
The meeting was called to order by
Geo. r. Roberts, chairman and A.
McRoberts was chosen secretary. A
general discussion ensued as to the
present needs for the upbuilding Of
the community in general. AS this
Immediate vicinity has not had any
money from the county court for
building roads or repair work and
the children from Birch creek have
to cross private property to get to
school, everyone present agreed to
90 all they could to have the county
court build a road. The chairman
appointed S. Caldwell, Henry Forth
and ]. NJ. Harrison a committee OF
three to confer with the court and
70 take any means necessary towards
getting road work started between
Pendleton and Yoakum. 1t was the
opinion of all present that II there
was not good prospects of getting
roads built soon those concerned
should put up a building and start a
cooperative store.
The next meeting was called for sat
urday, February 18th.

BLANCHE M'GAUGHEY GIVES
UP RIDING FOR HOUSEWORK
DARING YOUNG ROUNDUP PER
FORMER MARRIED TO THE
DAIIES FARMER.

No more bucklng bronchos for
Blanche McGaughey. no more the fol-
lowing OF wild west shows. no more
the thrills OF Joy that come with the
applause OF the multitude at the sight
OF a pretty girl defylng the contor-
tions OF a plunging outlaw mustang
It's the quiet life for Blanche from
now on. The Pilot Rock girl who has
won prizes at the Roundup and oth'
or frontier shows and who has tour
ed the country with wild west attrae-
tions Is going to content herself with
cooking three meals day and doing
the washing for a young farmer oil
The Dalles. For be 1t known that the
happy-go-lAcky Blanche yesterday
afternoon at high noon became Mrs
I. A. Sammis. the wedding ceremony
being performed in The Dalles.
The wedding notice comes as
surprise to her many friends here and
was almost as much a surprise to her
self, according to her own admission
She left Pendleton only a few days
ago for San Francisco where she was
TO Join the "1O1 Ranch" profession
al wild west road show. She stopped
off at The Dalles for a short visit and
there cupid wooed her from the paths
of fame to the sedate life of house
wife.
The announcement Of her weddins
came last evening by letter to II. w
Collins. director of competitive events
OF the Roundup. She had no inten
ton of being married until next oc
tober. she said. but the young farmel
would not hear of her joining the 10
Ranch" Men will have their way,
she wrote. "and 1 decided 1 wouldn
trifle with our happiness by going oil
TO San Francisco" Her husband Il
connected with the Mt. Hood orchard
Co. owns a fruit farm and is the fin
est man in the world, the bride states
in her letter. She had a saddle or
dered and wanted Mr.. Collins to can
eel the order as she will have no use
for it. Her husband doesn't farm
with horses, she writes rather regret
fully. but uses a caterpillar and gaso
line instead.

from reading the book. For decades
It was the only production the late

pains in making this wonderful pic

Kit to Mary the elopment OF Mary

death Of Mary, the meeting OF Kit

burning of the steamboat and the
deadly duel between Kit and Bond
underneath the water in which Kit is
victorious, the reunion Of Kits dau

been 80 devoted to her. All will say
Kit, the Arkansaw Traveller is a
mighty good fellow.

Market Makes Big Improvements.

Market Makes Big improvements
The Pendleton Cash Market has Just
finished making extensive improve
ments within Its store building, cor
ner Court and Johnson streets. The
principal improvement consists In a
cold storage plant which will not only
keep the meat storage room cool but
will also keep the meats within the
show cases cool. Amonia pipes have
been run inside these cases and the
platters containing cuts Of meat will
rest upon these frosted pipes. This
plant will not only reduce expenses
by keeping Own the ice bill but has
the added advantage Of maintaining
an even temperature and of making
the care of meats more sanitary and
convenient. The proprietors of the
market havealso moved their meat
counters to the rear OF the store room
and are adding to their stock of gro-
ceries.

signed the ordinance as mayor, was
not mayor and hence the ordinance
was null and void. Judge Fitz Gerald
overruled the demurrer. Bowlsby
pleaded not guilty. was tried, con-
victed and sentenced to ten days in
Jail.
The petition for the writ OF review
takes the matter into the circuit court
for settlement and the legality OF the
ordinance will probably be determ-
ined at the same time as the mayor
atty OF the city.
Judge Phelps stated today that the
mayoralty case as well as the quo
warranto case brought against Una
tilla city officials will probably be
tried out some time this week.

equally pretty gifts cost so little.
The rolls are usually made in two
lengths. one for centerpieces and
one for doilies. To make one a
strong pasteboard tube, such as
used for mailing is procured. Circular
pieces of cretonne are stretched over
the ends and pasted down on the
roll.
A strip of the cretonne as wide
as the tube is long IS then cut off of
any length desired. One end of this
strip is trimmed in a curve and the
other left straight The curved end
and sides OF the strip are bound with
tape.
The straight end is pasted to the
roll, the cretonne wound once about
it and sewed down to form a casing
for it, Ribbon ends are sewed to the
curved end of cretonne to form ties
for fastening it when the doilies have
been rolled
The cretonne used to make the roll
shown in the picture is a striped pat
tern with small flowers scattered over
the surface. Dark backgrounds with
gay flowers make rolls that do not
