Plans to make Christmas a happy day for the poor of the city are already be- ing made by the Eufaula lodge of Elks and the Women's Benevolent union. The former have been in the Big Brother" movement here for many years and havs made many heart happy on Christmas, while the benevolent union is an organi- zation of the women of the city who have done much during the past four years to organize charitable work in Eufaula. This has resulted in much more effective work not only during the Christmas sea- son, but during the winter season, when the call for help has been insistent.
 The congregation of the First M F. church will enter their handsome new church building sometime in January. according to an announcement of the building committee today. They expect the building tos'be completed by the 18th. It has been in course of construction for over a year, there having been many de- lays. The church will represent a cost of $25, 600 and there will be very little debt on it when completed. The ladies of the congregation will install the organ which has been purchased for 5000. All that remains to be done is the completion of the interior finishing and the instala- tion of the plumbing and heating sys- tems.

coon FREIGHT RATES

GOOD FREIGHT RATES
 Guntersville enjoys one of the best
 freight rates in the state. With water
 competition, the Nashville, Chattanooga
 and St. Louis railroad makes an excel
 lent rate to the merchants and shippers.
 Guntersville claims that freight to Albert ville Boaz and Gadsden is shipped via
 Guntersville to get the advantage or the rate. Many hundred automobiles used
 in all parts of this section are shipped to Guntersville and assembled Good
 freight service is had on the Tennessee river between Decatur and Chattanooga. One through boat makes round trip each week, while there is a more regular schedule between the several towns along the river.
 The town is lighted by the Alabama Power company, with maintains branch
 plant here, and is planning for the maln line to be put in. This will add to the industrial importance of the town, as
 the power supply will equal that of any other town The town has it's water supply furnished from big spring on the mountain. It is run to the town by gravity.
 On account of the cheap freight rates on exports, Guntersville argues that it is an ideal location for industries. The Guntersvlle Realty company has a num-
 Der of fine factory sites reserved for prospective industries.
 According to ]. A. McKinstry, veteran real estate and abstract man of mar shall county, real estate is in more de-
 mand than it has been for many years

NIGHT FOR ENTERTAINMENT
OF PATIENTS.

Having staged their play, "A Night
in Bohemia" two nights at the oregon
theater before large audiences and at
a neat profit, the, Elks this evening
will repeat it at the auditorium oil
the Eastern Oregon State Hospital for
the entertainment of the patients
there.
The entire cast, with the exception
of the childrens chorus, win go down
to the hospital Because of the large
number of children in the opening
chorus, the Elks did not feel that IL
would be right to call upon the moth
ers to prepare the children for third
night The members of the cast will
meet at the Elks' hail at 6:45 and
leave at for the hospital.
The second performance at the the.
ater last evening went off even moro
smoothly than the first and was wit
messed by larger audience. The
principals sprang new jokes and kept
the audience in a good humor from
start to finish. The 1916 play Of tho
Elks was a big success in every par
ticular and the committee feels deep.
ly indebted to those who made the
success, possible.

CITY OFFICIALS AGAINST
TURNING OVER FINE MONEY

Announcement in the Portland pa
pers that all fines collected in mu'
nicipal courts for violations of the
prohibition law must be turned over
by the cities to the counties moved To-
cal officials this morning to consider
making demands upon the Pendleton
council to turn over the money coll
lected in the police court as fines for
illegal sales OF liquor However, the,
city officials claim they have protect
ed the city by prosecuting under the
city ordinance and not under the state
law.
They assert that the recent prohi-
bition ordinance was passed for the
sole purpose Of permitting the city to
prosecute bootleggers and keep the
fine money in the city treasurer. Port
land Is turning over more than $1,000
collected as fines but, local city Off.
cials claim, Portland has been prose.
cutting violators under the state law
instead OF under a city ordinance.
The county officials complain that
the city authorities prosecute in their
own court such prohibition vlolators
as are likely to have money to pay
their fines, while they turn over to
the county offenders who will prob.
ably have to lay their time out in jail
at the expense Of the taxpayers. The
city replies that prosecution under the
city ordinance does not preclude the
county officials from prosecuting the
same offenders under the state law.

Warrant Issued
For Arrest of
Mayor ia. Best
COMPLAINT FILED CHARGES HIM
WITH VIOLATION OF va
GRANCY LAW.

Mayor James A. Best was this af-
ternoon charged, in a complaint filed
in the justice court, with violation
of the state vagrancy law, and war
rant was sworn out for his arrest. Al
press time he had not been served
with the warrant.
The complaining witness is Ar
thus J. Gibson whom the mayor had
arrested Saturday night on charge
of violating the dancing ordinance
and whose trial is set for Saturday
The offense of which the mayor is ac-
cused is alleged to have been com.
mitted in the Oregon theater on the
night Of March 23 at the conclusion
of the boxing exhibition between Ray
McCarroll and Romeo Hagan. The
complaint charges that he conducted
himself in "a violent. riotous and dis
orderly manner" and used abusive
and obscene language" in the pres
ence of a large assembly OF people.
The occasion is well remembered by
the public as it excited a great deal
of comment at the time.
Just what counter Mayor Best will
make is a matter of conjecture. 1t
is said that he has been threatening
to prosecute the principals in the box
ing bout and 1t is known that today
he sought to secure an affidavit
from McCarroll to the effect that his
bout with Hagan was a prize fight
and not boxing bout"

MONEY IS WANTED
TO IMPROVE ROAD
TO STATE HOSPITAL
RITNER REQUESTS FUNDS BE
USED BY STATE FOR HARD
FL SBRFAGENG HIGHWAY.

Learning that there is an extreme
probability of $4,000 of road money
appropriated by the state for the i'm
provement of the Columbia highway
in Wasco county being turned back to
the state, Representative R. w Rlt-
ner today wrote to Governor Witty
combe, Secretary OlcOtt and Treasur-
er Kay asking that a portion of this
money be appropriated for the hard
surfacing of a road past the Eastern
oregon State Hospital
County Judge Marsh will make a
similar request, at the same time send
ing blue prints of the proposed road
improvement between this city and
Pilot Rock Junction which the county
is planning.
The last legislature appropriated
$45,00O for Wasco county roads con-
tingent upon that county contributing
like sum- However. Wasco county
has taken no steps to raise the addi-
tional $4,000 and the state appropria-
tion will thus likely revert to the
state.
Inasmuch as the state board has
practically promised before that i'm
provement of the road past the state
hospital will be made when the mon
ey becomes available, Representative
Ritner feels that it is only fair to ex-
pect the fulfillment of that tentative
promise now that money is likely to
become available. He estimates that
$4,000 will accomplish the work.
The county court cOntemplates
spending the money raised in road dis
trict S5, in which Pendleton is located,
upon the road between Pendleton and
Pilot Rock Junction or Rieth, as it is
now called.
