The city council met Monday even
ing and passed a resolution asking
for bids for a tire truck. they also
passed a resolution regarding the va
eating OF a part of Front street on
the application of w. II. Conklin. As
all of the property owner affected
have signed the application for this
vacation, there is little reason why ii
should not be done. Some talk was
also had about placing new silent
policemen" at the street intersections
on Main street. There seemed to be
an intention to defer this until paw
ing was done. The present saw bucks
seem pretty safe in their jobs.
Mrs. Helen Barrett Montgomery, the
authoress and lecturer, who addressed
the students at the college last Thurs
day at a special convocation, spoke
Of the missionary influence on the
world. She has made a visit to every
mission station in the world and is an
expert on missions. She spoke par
ticularly of the work Of Clarence II.
Robertson, who is the Y. NJ. c. A.
secretary for China, and Of his influ-
ence in the empire. It va not until
after her address that she knew of his
being a graduate from State College.
Those who heard Mrs. Montgomery
we're warm in their appreciation of
her talk.
The Register is in receipt OF a fine
description of the wedding Of DR.. Guy
L. Boyden to Miss Zella Marie Thomp-
sol at the home Of the brides par
ents in Pendleton, Wash. on Septem-
Der 26th. 1t was a very elaborate af-
fair and with the reception following
was one of the social events of that
city during the present season. I'M
mediately after the reception the doc
tor and his bride motored to Walla
Walla, and made a two weeks visit to
British Columbia and Portland. Then
they went to American Lake where
DR.. Boyden will be one Of the eXamin-
ing physicians at the camp of the Ma
tional Army for several months. At
ter January 1st, they will be at home
in Pendleton where the doctor has
made a wide circle of friends, both
socially and professionally.
An enlightened public is undoubted-
~ the greatest protection against any
public There are many ways
existing conditions, but none so effec-
tive as the press and the stage. When
u ""p w, FcIit Nhi't y'hiH
ago, that a gigantic trust for the traf-
fc of young women and girls had been
built up in this country, these two
great mediums combined to expose it
and today the percentage of girls who
fall victim to their snares has been
very materially reduced. The subject
is not yet sufficiently talked about.
Every one should know the methods
OF these wolves of society. Every girl
Should be familiar with the bait they
set their traps with. "The Girl With
our a Chance" which appears at the
Grand Opera House for one night,
starting Saturday, oct. 18th, viii show
you many new methods which they
employ to decoy unsuspecting girls
into their nets. Every father and
mother should see it. Every minis
