Heard and Seen

Now that spring 10 here. II may
interest bird lovers to know that ut
least one bird has solved the problem
OF transportation without the use of
wings.
Birds are famous for their migra-
tions, but hitherto they always have
! used wing power. Now comes along
one local bird who gets himself from
place to place with scarcely the ZAP
Of a wing.
This bird came riding down Penn
| morning last week. He was perched
on the roof of street car coming
from Georgetown.
| When the car stopped at l1th street
the bird alighted. and walked gravely
up and down the platform. He was
a fine. big fellow, with a black body
/ and blue head. but did not look
like blackbird.
I After surveying the Post Office De-
| partment for a bit. the bird few over
Vernon. and established, himself on
| the roof.
When the car pulled out. the bird

Robins are growing very fat On

Bracing himself the bird throws his

The performance does not strike

are operating under the laws of ma

This breach of legal ethics could not
be allowed to pass unnoticed SO the

WITHOUT EMERGENCY
FUND CITY IS $967
AHEAD OF BUDGET
Some Departments Have Defi-
cits and Others Have Cred
it's; Receipts Below Last Yr.

Counting the credits that prevail in
some departments against the over
drafts which have piled up in others
and leaving tho emergency fund on
of the column altogether, the city OF
Pendleton is just $9.67 ahead of its
estimated expenditures for the first
half of the year. This state of con-
ditions was found to exist when the
city council last night examined the
report of the state of it's finances
submitted by Edwin Winter.
There is an emergency fund of
something more than $1,000 provided
for in the budget, but Mayor Hart
man last night called attention to the
possibility of this emergency fund
over failing to materialize if re-
ceipts do not come up to what is
expected of them. For one thing, re-
ceipts from fines are falling down
considerably over what they were last
year. Taxes are never paid on a 100
per cent basis, either, it was stated
last night, so the city considers itself
just about as near the ragged edge"
as it cares to go. The fire depart
ment, street department, parks de-
partment and cemetery departments
each have overdrafts checked against
them.

and specifications for paving on
South Main street and in tbe Happy
Canyon districts were passed by the
