as result of the shooting of Fred II.
Patterson about two weeks ago, was
given her freedom this mornlng by
Sheriff Zoeth Houser on the recon-

The recommendation of the district
attorney was made after Patterson re-
fused to swear out charge against
the woman, He told the district at
toreny that he wished to have nithing
more to do with her.
1t is probable that the grand jury
will investigate the shooting which re-
suited in Patterson being wounded in
two places, His condition is said to
be satisfactory now, and his recovery
Is assured. He received one bullet in
the back and the other In the elbow.

effort" Eugene Debs told the United

conference is little more than a
waste Of breath. II will not end

SPOKANE'S PLAN CALLS
FOR CLASSIFICATION
OF ALL TOURIST CAMPS
Agreement Between Cities is
Idea Which Conference Will
Consider; Local Men Going

That an exhaustive study of the /
problems municipalities face in pro- /
viding accommodation for auto tour |
lists will be made at Spokane January /
I. when delegates from many cities in
the Northwest meet there at the first
annual Pacific Rocky Mountain
Northwest tourist camp conference is
indicated ina letter which has been
received in Pendleton at the office of
the Pendleton Commercial Association
for the convenors of the conference.
An effort will be made at this time
to reach an agreement whereby the
cities and towns of the Northwest can
unity their work and tourists may So
cure uniform treatment from all Of
the towns.
Mayor G.. A. Hartman and Counc /
man William Dunn, chairman of the
parks committee, will be sent to the
conference to represent Pendlcion,
action to this effect having been taken
last Wednesday night by the city
council. The following excerpts from
the letter of announcement from the
convenors give an idea of what is pro-
posed to be done;
There appears TO be a sentiment in
favor of classification of tourist
camps and charges based on services
rendered. For example, communities
like Portland. Seattle Boise e-Spokane,
where many luxuries are provided,
would take the highest classification
and charge maximum rates for reg
istration Camps less extensively de-
velopcd, where the service rendered ~
not so costly. would take a lower
classification and make the charge
agreed upon for their class. An ap-
proximately uniform scale would Oh
tain, however. in all communities
/ the same class, each community to act
on its own initiative in regard to rais-
ing it's classification when circum-
stances warrant.
"Another important aspect Of the
conference appears TO be the sugges-
tinn that tourist camp managements
cooperate efficiently in regard 10 re-
porting undcsirabes 1t is felt that
much can be accomplished in this di-
rection.
again. it has been suggested that
a Joint effort be made to secure the
enforcement in all communities of
such ordinances as exist or to secure
4 the passage Of new ordinances. com
