Revenue Available Under
Charter Limit Found Too
Small for Towns Safety,

Unless Pendleton grants the city
government little more latitude ia
the way of producing revenue for city
expenses the town next year will be
in n worse plight than the small boy
whose pants had become dangerously
tight. This fact became evident last
evening at a meeting of the budget
committed, composed of the mayor
and members of the council, in addi-
ton to eight other men named in ac-
cordance with the state budget law.
The figures as presented show that
a higher levy than the / ] mills allow
ed by the charter will be imperative
If the city's interests are to be safe
guarded Accordingly the people will
be asked to approve a larger levy and
1t was recommended by the commit
tee last evening that the charter be
amended so as to eliminate the II
mill limit on the assumption that the
state six per cent limitation law i

penses without charter restriction

YOUNG GIRLS DARING CLIMB

=; = - English Village. y y -

A daring climb was accomplished at
Repton, in Lancashire, England, some
years ago. the exploit being kept In
memory By a frayed fragment Of cord
that used to bangle from the cross
surrounding the lofty spire Of the
village church, and which was known
locally as Little Bessie's Rope" Bes-
sic was the daughter Of Rept0n

of bravado and in order to win q bet
Of few shillings. undertook to climb
to the top Of the spire and there don

been presented. 81 .@>EsY y. !, !
True to his word, he fixed his lad
ders on, the day appointed and
climbed by their aid as far as the
bottom sof the Big copper ball which
upheld the. cross. Over one arm of
the cross lie then lassoed rope,
mp which he climbed, and afterward
proceeded to don the clothes. Next,
standing upright, he started to throw
into the. air, one by one, his old gar
ments. Suddenly. however, there was
a cry Of alright from above, followed
my great hush below. The foolish
fellow had somehow managed to
loosen the rope. his sole connecting
link with terra firma, and it slipped
down and hung suspended from the
topmost ladder, 80 feet below. Two

ward the church. but child-woman

Strange Properties Of TourmaIine.

The crystal, tournlaline, Is capable Of
attracting small bits Of paper and
straw In much the same way as am-
Der. This attraction is, Of course, due
to an :electrostatic charge.
Z When the crystal is exposed to sun
light Of low temperature 1t loses Its
electrical charge, but regains 1t upon
being heated again. If 1t has a mega
tive charge at first, it will have a posi-
tive charge when it is reheated.
Several other precious stones exhibit
phenomena along this line, but tour
nlaline is the most interesting and
spectacular of all.
