Attorney Fee Tells Council City
Cannot Sign Temporary Con-
tract to Avoid Paying I'M

SAYS VISIBLE MEANS
OF PAYING ESSENTIAL
Manager Plan, Insurance on
Hall, Complaints of Street
Commissioner and Coal Sup
ply Discussed at Meeting.

The City OF Pendleton cannot sign n
contract with A. c. Long & Co.. for
fire truck. with the 6O-day option of
breaking the contract City Attorney
James A. Fee told the city council last
night The contract was suggested as
a means of saving the city $500. which
amount all fire trucks are due to ad-
vance on May /. The city ordered the
bid OF A. @. Long e. CO.. accepted two
months ago for the purchase of n new
fire truck, but 30 far has made no
attempts to raise the necessary purch-
ase price.
Signing OF such contract as was
suggested would be neither legal nor
binding. the attorney said. Further
more. the city cannot enter into agree
ment to purchase an article without
having the visible means OF paying for
1t. 1t IL probable that no fire appara.
tus can be bought until the new city
budget Is voted upon and then new
advertisements for bids must be made.
Taylor Secs No Need
Councilman Henry Taylor, one OF
the opponents OF the move for chang
Ing to the city manager plan. declar-
ed before the council that III the street
Commissioner fulfiiis his duties as
laid down In the city charter. there Is
no need for 4 manager. The veteran
councilman had the recorder read tho
duties OF the commissioner from the |
charter.
The special committee on insurance !
matters reported that the co-insur- |
ance carried on the city hall at pres |
ent was ineffective because of the fact /
thai the building Is not insured to 90 |
per cent OF its present value. They |
recommended that the insurance on
the building be reduced from 100000 |
to $4,000 and the co-insurance clause
eliminated In order for the city to |
derive any benefit from co-insurance
they reported, 1t would be necessary |
20 carry s45,0G0 insurance, which,
they said. was too much. The report
of the committee was adopted.
Remove Dirt and Gravel
Complaint was made by Councilman
Estes that persons are in the habit OF
removing dirt and gravel for various
uses from the unimproved streets or
the city. without permission from the
street commissioner. In some in
stances, he said. they had removed
such quantities from one place that
the street had been excavated below
grade and in other places they had
left deep holes. The recorder inform-
cd the counciimen that any persons
found guilty OF such practices could
be fined under tn Getty ordinances.
Bids for the winters supply of coal
for the city hall were opened and the
contract awarded to Smythe-Lonergan
Co, whose bid of $11.65 a ton deliver
ed was five cents lower than that of
the only other bidder, the Van Petten
Lumber Co. The low bid specified
that delivery must be made immed-
lately.

Looking at Katherine Miller as she
.reclined on her wonderful regency
bed and displayed the fine curves of
her marvellous beauty my opinion
about goodness and badness was
crystallized.
The woman could be desperately
wicked from choice, knew in my
heart, and in spite of my husband s
recent defense and explanation of her
curious conduct. And couldn't help
wondering what her next exploit
would be like. She would will It and
execute 1t with the finesse derived
from previous practice, 1 felt sure.
And II she had the mind to be SO un.
principled, she had wit enough to be
virtuous. 1t was the wish to be good
that she SO completely lacked.
She wasn't merely a pretty fool as
we girls knew her had always agreed.
In many ways she. was far cleyerer
than any woman Of her set. Sho had

"The worse you treat Katherine Nil.
Ter, the better she will treat you" said
to myself, as I recalled our clashes
and my frank antagonism when we
were In Mexico. But the tiger.lady is
purring like pussy-cat today. She
knows, Jane Lorimer, that you are the

heard her chatter all day about the

exacted anything from the individual
in daily life. :.
! remembered the girls had gone
to school with at the little college Of
which my father had been president.
They were country and small town
girls. Few were well endowed with
worldly goods, but how rich mos. of
the young women were in character!
And what an enormous amount OF
learning and culture they managed to
acquire! How some Of them would
have adored katherine Miller's odd
boudoirSher round metal mirror from
an Egyptian tomb, or the one in she'll
frame which Katherine had bought In
the South Sea Islands! Katherine
Miller had choice and expensive trim
kets enough to deck out the rooms for
a score of girls, but she hadn't the in
formation which made her keenly
alive TO the value OF the art objects
she had collected. How could such in
justice exist in a world WHICH might
be so wonderful for everybody?
/ answered my own question thus:
cts not unfair, in way. Human
beings get their values mixed, that's
all. We expect to live in luxury be-
cause we try to be good. We forget
that we cannot reap material reward
by an endeavor to live like saint,
neither can we gain spiritually by col.
lecting exorbitant rents. Nevertheless,
we expect that we ought to become
rich because we are virtuous! That
is not logical even II it is fayorite
theory!"
Katherine Miller and Chrys chatted
on and on about the many meanings
of the circle. / gathered that it stood
for most of the virtues, that 1t was de-
rived from the sun, stood for eternity
since it had neither beginning nor end,
for perfection since 1t could not be i'm
proved upon, and for eternal love when
shaped in gold for wedding ring.
"My goodness!" thought l. "rm
glad don't have to live in roomful
Of circles like this Imagine having TO
remember all that when opened my

And, suddenly, quite scorned my.
self because was drinking Kather-

her delicate Japanese sugar cakes,

heri
1t wasn't good mani =. Worse
than that, It was hypocritical!
Look to your own glass house, Jane
Lorimer!" advised myself. But even
by blaming myself. couldn't shut out
the idea that Katherine Miller was my
sinister destiny in disguise.

Amy Leah Dennis made her debut
as one Of the Garrick Players last
night and won her audience with
winsome charm. She essayed the diff
dcult role of Pollyanna. the glad
GIRL" with a childish naturalness that
relieved 1t Of the mawkish senti-
mentality. OF all pests the precocious,
self-conscious child 10 the most bore
some, ana the late Mrs. Porter achiev-
ed a remarkable thing when she de-
lineated child that went about lee
turing people and yet did not make q
nuisance OF herself. Pollyanna is a
combination Of warm hearted impress
siveness grated on adult philosophy
and absorbed with the unconscious
ness of a loving child, q child who
made demi-god Of her father and
who became a living embodiment of
his teachings. And this is the char
acter Miss Dennis has assimilated and
has portrayed. She has cleyerly
avoided the danger Of making her
work tiresome and has given yeri-
simtlitude to a 1ovable character. The
play, unsatisfactory IN parts. but
pleasing as q whole. has been seen
IN washington number of times,
but never performed here more ade.
