Assurance that Pendleton will see
considerable more commercial. build
ing activity this summer is conveyed
in the plans of the Hotel Pendleton
for enlargement. Either the addition
of two stories to the present hotel
building or three stories on top of the
present Association block will mean
considerable activity in that vicinity
The rapid growth of this city as a
travel center has made heavy de-
mands upon all the local hotels, and
the Pendieton, feeling the pressure
keefly, sees need for more room.
Were there two more stories built
above the. present structure, Pendle-
ton could claim one skyscraper.
Whether the building will go up or
spread out is to be decided shortly
and action probably will be obtained
quickly. A. E. Doyle Portland archi-
tect will be consulted regarding the
plans when he is here this week.

A carpet sweeper, a pan Of water

brought by his wife, Emma. The two
are negroes.
The wife said Stoval struck her with
a carpet sweeper when she entered their
bedroom Saturday night. She was
carrying a pan of water at the time,
she said, and admitted that she had in :
tended throwing it on her husband.
After he struck her, she said she picked
up the lamp, but he hit it with the
sweeper. 1t broke and cut her hand.
Stovall said he only protected him :
self. 'She is a good wife around pay
day. he told the magistrate, "but after
that she is bad and abuses me-" The
magistrate held the man in $500 bail
to keep the peace.

been to get a telephone. A few 'ur-

on the spot to get one. We have hopes
of getting one of the fall allotment.
If we do not get in this sort of phone
we either wait several years-already
we have waited two-or pay fabulous
price. AS you see, telephones are still
a great luxury in Japan"
