were surprised to see, the inhabitants
drive their hogs and sheep from their

the horn drove them all out to pas

common to see an old man walking

PATRIOTIC LEAGUE WILL NOT
TAKE UP MEMORIAL PROPOSAL

With all the discussion of memo
rial for Umatilla county soldiers in
the war, the Umatilla County Patri-
otto Service League has reached the
conclusion that it is not the proper
organization, , to undertake such a
work. Resolutions therefore have
been adopted to that effect, and the
league viii not undertake anything or
offer any suggestion in that direction.
However, it is the opinion of the
members of the league something
should be done to secure a suitable
memorial for the boys who served
their country, and as individuals they
are willing to undertake and join in
a movement in this direction. Follow
ing are the resolutions adopted:
Whereas, There has already been
considerable discussion relative to the
proposal to build some form of me-

KAISER SHOULD HAVE
TO REBUILD GERMANY

LONDON. Dec. 2T.-The shooting
of the former kaiser and his cocoon
spiratoTs against world peace, would
be letting them off too easily. in the
opinion of Richard Barth. socialist

The best punishment would be to
make them rebuild Belgium and

interview with the Berlin correspond

in Berlin. the main reason being the
kaiser wanted to rule the werld.
Others responsible are the crown

E INFLUENZA GERM NOW KNOWS HOW IT
FEELS TO Be A SHEEP WITH SCAB

No, Pendleton is not being con-
verted into sheep camp. NotwIth>
standing you may catch the loud
smell of "sheep dip as you pass along
the streets. and should you pass a
sheep man he is sure to be standing
with contented smile on his lips and
his nose tilted In the air shifting like
pointer that has located a China
pheasant.
All this smell is being caused by a
measure taken in the effort to get
the hest of the Influenza which is
threatening to put the entire town
on the shelf. Mayor Vaughan has
ordered out the street sweepers and
the large tank on the machine charg-
ed with a strong solution of sheep
dip which is sprinkled on the streets
as they are cleaned.
This is the plan understood to have
been used at the town of Brawley,
Imperial Valley and was successful in
stamping out the influenza epidemic
in five days. It is also reported San
Diego, Cal. is using the same prepara-
tion. 1t means practically the dis
injecting of the entire town.
The idea was received here in a
letter from Folsom Tallman who is in
the aviation section of the navy at
San Diego. in a letter to his father, ],
V. Tallman Of Pendleton.
The idea of disinfecting the streets
and entire CITY with the solution win
be given thorough trial. and who
can say it viii not have the desired
result. While sheep dip does not
have as pleasant smell as Florida
water.S there are many things that
could lie worse About three gallons
OF sheep deep are used to a block.
