CITIZEN SOLDIERS
MAY GET UNIFORMS
Khaki Trousers. Shirts and Leggings
Not to Cost O1er 81 or So is Outfit
Under Consideration

1t is not improbab that the three
military units of Pendleton will ad-
opt uniforms in the near future. The
Silver Grays have already begun steps
to secure uniform dress for drill
and the other units will doubtless fol-
low suit.
1t is proposed that the three units
secure cheap khaki trousers. shirts
and leggings. the whole outfit not to
cost over two or three dollars. Such
a uniform would improve the appear
ance of the marching bodies, would
be inexpensive and would not be any
waste of money inasmuch as the
clothes would be adapted to wear on
outings or in work about home -
The Silver Grays last evening ap-
pointed a committee. consisting of
Dr. F. w Vincent, E. W. McConas
and Horace Mann. TO look into the
matter of a uniform. At their meet
ing they also adopted bylaws but
deferred the selection of officers un-
til later.
All three of the units held drills last
evening and there was an average at
tendance at each of SO. The first
unit drilled at the city hall, the sec
ond at Roundup Park and the third
at the Commercial gymnasium.
Name is Selected.
The first unit last evening formally
adopted as its name the First Reresrve
of Pendleton. Election of officers
was noe held. however. the company
decioing to wait until later. Each
member was made a special recruit
ing officer in order to bring the COM
pany up to $50. After the next meet
ing the new recruits will be placed
in an awkward squad in order not to
hold the others back.
The second reserve now has
strength Of about so and the number
will be swelled to 100 soon. Squad
d.iil was held at the park last even
ing until darkness fell. The next
drill will be held sunday morning at
It. n'Clock.
