CAMPAIGN TO GET
NATATOR|UM FUND
IS Being RUSHED
Commercial Club Committee is Now
Prepared to go Ahead With Work
Of Securing Money.
PLANS HAVE BEEN FINISHED
Exact Location OF Pool Not Yet De-
cided Upon But Two Places at
Round-up Park Are Being Consid-
ered-COnstruction May Begin
With Opening OF Spring.

The campaign for the raising OF
the money necessary for the building
In Pendleton OF the finest public nat
atorlum in the northwest Is now fair
ly under way and will be pushed vig-
orously by the Commercial Club COM
mittee which has for months been la
borlously consulting over plans for
securing the best possible pool at the
least possible expense.
Such a pool. the committee esti
mates, will cost about $4,000. This
amount Is more than was first con-
templated but, after going thorough
~ in the the investigation OF the swim
ming pool subject, discussing the mat
ter with competent engineers and
Others who are familiar with pools In
other cities, the committee decided
that the cost OF maintenance and op-
Grafton, which will be fixed and
constant one. would be greatly les
sened by increasing the original ex-
pendlture.
In other words the committee has
learned II will cost much less 70
maintain and operate pool built oil
permanent materials imperyious to
water. heat, steam and cold weather
than IL would be to build cheap
...col which within a short time would
need repairs. From the stanSS2int oi
sanitation and convenience the strue-
ture OF concrete throughout would be
indefinitely superior to- one OF cheap
,er construction, in the view OF the
committee.
The plans for the pool have been
completed by ]. o. Convlll, superin-
tendent OF parks and boulevards In
Portland, and. by his own declara-
ton, they will secure for Pendleton
better natatorium than has Portland
or any other city in the northwest
because he has taken advantage OF the
mistakes made by other communities
TO give Pendleton the best obtainable.
The exact location Of the pool In
Round up Park has not yet been
definitely determined the committee
having two locations picked out.
Because OF the greater amount OF
money needed to construct a desir-
able pool, the committee has started
out upon n new campaign. A pre-
vious campaign last summer had re-
suited in contributions from about
600 individuals and many Of these
are now doubling and quadrupling
their. former subscriptions, regarding
Il as n business proposition to build
the better pool The committee feels
very encouraged over the results OF
the first weeks canvass and antici'
pates that enough money win be rails

ton.

with American commerce by a new
blockade of England and France. AL

imperial navy towardf the ships OF
the enemy or neutral commerce. .
Won Bernstorff's statement said. 1T
Is absurd to describe the proclamation
as "a paper blockade of the British

a statement of what has been, since
the beginning of the war, the atti-
