HOTELS AND ROOMING HOUSES
MUST SECURE CITY LICENSES

City Recorder Fitz Gerald has a
brand new job. that OF decding
whether every hotel and lodging
house keeper In the city of pendleton
has satisfactory proof of good moral
character to be allowed license for
his place of business. II the record.
er decides in the affirmative The ap-
plicant, who must present himself in
person, may have a license for one
year upon the payment of one dollai
This is the gist of an important
piece of legislation carried out at last
nights meeting OF the city council
when an ordinance providing for the
regulation of hotels and rooming
houses was passed with an emergency
clause attached. As yet the mayor
has not signed the ordinance. al
though he is expected TO do SO within
a day or two.
The ordinance is passed as "a war
emergency measure, and was drawn
up at the suggestion Of mcmbers OF
the state board Of health and army
authorities, who recently visited the
city. These men are making "a tour
of the state and it is probable that
they suggest that "a similar ordinance
be passed in each city they visit. The
measure passed here last night Is
practically the same as that In force
in the city of Portland.
Among the provisions OF the new
ordinance are these regulations which
the landlord must see are enforced.
A hotel register must be kept. which
shall be signed by every guest; the
register must he open to inspection at
all times; II shall be unlawful for any
person to register under an assum-
ed name or noe by which he Is noi
commonly known; no two persons Of
opposite sex shall occupy the same
room unless they are husband or wifo
or a mother and small children. The

GREEN APHIS IS
DAMAGING FRUIT

That green aphis is doing consider
able damage to alfalfa fields and
fruit trees throughout the county is
the statement of County Assessor c.
p. Strain.
Mr.. Strain in his recent trips over
the county has found tho aphis work
ing on alfalfa in practically all To-
calities, while the damage TO fruit so
far as he knows is confined to the
east end of the county. most in the
vicinity of Milton and F'reewater. In
the orchards prunes seem to be the
favorite food of the aphis. and it is
the prune trees that are suffering the
greatest damage.
The orchardists Of Milton and Free
water are spraying their trees with
''black leaf preparation Of nicO-
tine, and think they will be able to
overcome much of the bad effect OF
the work OF this orchard pest.

WHOLE CITY COUNCIL NAMED
AS COMMITTEE TO SERVE ON
COMMISSION CHARTER BOARD

About as near "A disagreement as
the peaceful city council has had for
some weeks occurred last night in
connection with appointing a COM
mittee to meet with a delegation from
the Commercial association for tho
purpose OF considering "A commission

Councilman II. j. Taylor started
things off by declaring that he was
absolutely opposed to the appoint

would be an insinuatiou that the city
council system has been a failure, and
chaucnged tho other members as to
whether their work had been fall

EMO quota assigned last year.
Pendleton's part OF the $4,000 ask
ed OF umatilla county for the Second
Red Cross War Fund has been fixed
at sI7,500I almost half of the total
The executive committee of the pa
triotic service league last evening fl
naIly established the quotas of the II
districts OF the county, the quotas be-
ing figured out upon basis of the
classification OF potential contributors
in each district. A year ago the quo
tas were arbitrarily fixed for the Red
Cross drive and in all subsequent
drives the first Red Cross quotas were
used as a basis. The quotas figured
out last evening are for the first time
based upon o careful approximations
OF the incomes OF the residents OF each
district.
.-g-e- snIlsGrkptIGas Iosscrtsl.s-
The executive committee last even
ing also established the base subscrip-
tion for each class. Individual sub
scriptions for this drive VIII be con-
siderably less than u year ago due to
the organizations system OF asking all
TO contribute according 60 their abil-
fly rather than permitting compar-
a year ago several $500 subscriptions
were received and considerable
number from 500 up to $3.50. This
year there will only be about a half
dozen assessed as high as $500. The
majority OF those who contributed
$3.50 last year will be rated at about
half that amount this year. More
than half tho potential contributors
In the county are rated at $500 or less
while other base subscriptions range
from $40 up to SIS.
Many Ovcrsubscribe.
A year ago this coHDty's quota was
$4,000 but nearly $4,000 was SUBJ
scribed. This year the quota is $37,-
600 and, while the ratings are made
upon that basis, sthe committee anti
cipates that every community will
oversubscrlbe to a small amount ow-
ing to the fact that a good many peo-
pie will probably desire to contribute
more than their ratings.
A comparison OF the quotas of this
drive with the subscriptions of last
year will show that Umapine is as
sessed for more than her subscrip-
tlon last year. However. the UmaDine
district last year was but one precinct
whereas this year it comprises two
and half precincts. Part of the
Freewater territory has been given to
umapine.
Cottonwood precinct Is tributary
TO Walla Walla and residents of that
community have done their contribut-
ing i'm walla Walla. Under the chair
manship OF Ralph Reser. however, the
committees there secured $4,000
from that precinct for Umatilla coun-
ty in the Liberty Loan drive and will
probably turn i'm $1,000 for the Red
Cross. Gibbon, Meacham and Holdman
were last year included in the Pen

LADYSMITH BANKS AND
TREAS. CERTIFICATES

Neither of the banks of the city of
Ladysmith have so far taken and it is
possible that neither will take, any of
the treasury certificates which Secre-
tary McAdoo offered by expensive
telegraphing a week ago
The fact remains and that is some
thing that the treasury officials and
some of the men at the head of the
Federal Reserve banks have over
looked, that this is new country and
the money available here is practically
all iii the hands of the farmers or has
already been used for Liberty bonds OH
the last drive.
With a new bond issue coming and
conditions as they are in local banks,
and that seems also to be the opinion
of the banks in other sections of the
county it has been deemed a part of
good business to wait for the loan and
not to take up the treasury certifi-
Gates. These are really q security that
interests the larger banks more than
the smaller ones. There they have
clients with idle money looking for a
short time investment and here the
situation is almost entirely different.
To call in all the loans and to press
payment now would spell ruin to many
men who are making sacrifices daily
to get on.

CALLED STACKER:
T.. S. ARRESTS HIM
T. Purdham Taken to Superior
on Charge of Non Regis
tratiOn-Under
Bond

Deputy L. S. Marshal w. T. Pugh
came to Ladysmith from Superior
Tuesday morning and at once went to
LarsOn's camp in search of Fred Purd-
ham, who has been living with his
parents about miles north of the city.
He was wanted as a Stacker. Wednes-
day the marshal took purdham to Su-
perior. He was not at camp. but was
apprehended at his home.
In Superior Wednesday he was
given a hearing before United States
Commissioner, II. E. Ticknor. and held
in 5000 bond, being released however.
on his own recognizance.
The arrest grew out OF complaint
made some time ago that Purdham had
failed to register for the draft June 5.
1t was brought out at the hearing that
he was, according to the school records,
u, in Aug. 1916, but Purdham Oh the
stand at Superior swore he was not
81 until last August. 1917.
For that reason the commissioner
released him for further investigation.
The government is picking up all the
slackerS in this section and Mr. pugh
has made many arrests recently.

FARMERS REST ROOM
MEETS WITH APPROVAL

O. J. Falge. of the City Retirement
Committee. of the Chamber of Com
merce and Frank Helm. president of
that organization, appeared before the
city council at its meeting Wednesday
evening. and presented the matter of
the farmers rest room and public COM
fort station for the city. This was ta-
ken up at the last big meeting of the
Chamber and unanimously approved.
After going into the question in some
detail, the council agreed that the
comfort station was big step in the
way of appealing to the people of the
surrounding country to come here TO
trade as the rest room provided place
for the children and the mothers while
in the city.
While no action was taken, the
Chamber committee was asked to Sc
cure definite figures as to the cost and
to seek a location and to report to the
council later,
