TO THREE MOTORISTS

Be careful the speed cop will catch
you if you don't watch out The news
that there is a speed cop on the job
came as a surprise to three Pendleton
motorists yesterday when they were
requested 20 go 10 the police station.
Had they known it and kept the pres
sure off the speed pedal they would
each have SO more money today
with which to buy gasoline, but why
do So much ''ifing," in that case the
city would now be $50 short of the
amount it has in the treasury
The names as entered on the police
docket are Vern ]. Dresser. Edward A.
Porter and John Doe, and after each
is written $50 or days" In each
case the speed officer reported the
machine to be going from rs to 80
miles an hour.
The identity of the speed officer is
not made public as it is said this
would be too much information for
speeders.

Pupils of Washington, Lincoln ant
Hawthorne schools tied for speed in
leaving their respective school build

morning by Fire Chief Ringold when
they were all out As seconds after the
gong sounded. Each school has about
$50 pupils in attendance today.
The pupils OF tho Pendleton high
school were outside in 40 seconds. but
their greater speed is due to the fact
that the pupils are older and that the
number in attendance was less than
at other schools 1t was a noticeable
fact that high school pupils did not
hurry. while grade pupils did.
The little children of the Field

barracks are flored and the eats are
good" said Captain j. A. Best in an

PROTEST AGAINST
GAS STORAGE TANK

a strong protest was presented to
the council last night against the
granting of a permit to the Pacific
Power G. Light Co. for the installing
of gas storage tank near their prop
erty in the west end of the city.
The company Is planning the build
ing of an auxiliary gas storage tank
for the service of patrons in the west
end of the city. With the present
sy stem it is impossible TO give these
patrons service with sufficient pres
sure. The tank is to create a reserve
to overcome this difficulty. The tank
planned is a standard 20-foot steel
tank, water sealed. The site selected
is lot IA in block 40. between Alta
and Webb streets. The lot is being
purchased by the power company from
the Northern Pacific railroad.
Residents near the proposed tank
say il will be menace to their rop-
erty in case of fire and say tnat it will
also cause "A depreciation in the value
of their property.
On motion of Councilman Taylor 4
was voted for the entire council to visit
the proposed site for the tank and
make a personal Investigation before
action is taken. At the same time the
council will also view proposed i'm
provements on the extension of Wash
irgton street east of Monroe. which
G. A. Hartman requests permit to
make. The Improvement includes the
grading of half of the street and the
building of n rock retaining wall in
the center of the street. which will be
25 feet high at the highest point. Mr..
Hartman will have drawing of the
proposed work for the council at the
next meeting.

VICTORY
WILL OPEN ON
M0NDAYAPR.21
Short Time Notes Instead of
Bonds Will be Offered by
the Government.
LOCAL MEN WAITING
FOR INSTRUCTIONS
Modified Methods Expected
But Patriotic Appeal
Expected.

| WASHINGTON. March 13.-Secre-
tary of the Treasury Glass announced
that the campaign for the Victory
Liberty loan will open on Monday.
April 81. and close on Saturday, May
| 10. During that period short term
notes to the amount OF s7.000.000,-
900 viii have to be disposed of.
The notes will mature in from ono
to five years The rate of interest has
not been fixed, but IL is generally be-
lieyed that it will be I-2 per cent.
The last Liberty loan was issued at
Ia per cent, but on account of su-
per-taxes and profits taxes under the
war revenue bill, it has oeen found
that it would be impossible to float
another issue at that low rate
In arriving at the decision to issue
short tearm notes rather than long
term bonds, for the Victory loan. Sec
retary Glass says he has done so be-
cause he believes that tfis notes for
short term will be maintained al
par with more facility than would
bonds of longer maturity.
Secretary Glass appeals to the peo-
pie to support the loan in the same
patriotic manner in which the pre-
vfous Liberty loans were supported.
Unless people generally subscribe. he
says. the burden OF subscription will
fall upon the banks, and sYu his opin-
ion. this would be misfortune.
Though the Victory Loan has been
placed on a very attractive basis as
an investment, it will not be divorced
from patriotic appeal. judging from
the letters being received locally from
treasury officials.
Whether or not there will be an
active drive for subscriptions will de-
pend entirely upon the Instructions
from district and state head
quarters and these instructions are
before the first of the
MONTH 1t is very probable that the
employed in the Third and
Fourth loans will be mooiried but 1t
s believed locally that the govern
nent will urge upon all persons their
litigation to participate in this last
oan tn pay the cost of victory
