The city council met in regular session Tuesday evening. Present Mayor Clifton, Councilmen La follette, Zevely, Elkins, Foster, Ward and Noble; Recorder Hyde, City Engineer Kelley, City Attorney Duffy and Marshal Coon. The minutes of the last regular and special meetings were read, corrected and approved. The Dillon sidewalk must comply with the regulations of the city ordinances as to width. A five-foot walk would not only violate the city requirements but would also prove inadequate to accommodate the children on that side of town when school commenced. The regulation walk must go down. The council has ordered a new walk on East E, from Third to 5i street. The property affected be longs to Mrs. Lively, Henry Gray, C. W. Elkins and the Windom es tate. In muddy weather footwork in that part of town is very dis agreeable, especially for school children. The walk must be com pleted in 30 days There are several bad crosswalks that Councilman Ward was in structed to have repaired. G. W Lippincott was granted permission to put a corrugated iron roof on, the building occupied by him as a restaurant, corner Main and Fifth streets. It was decided to put doors on the hose cart house's; also a light in front of the one on the north side. A hundred candle power lamp was ordered put in at this end of the street .leading to the fair grounds. Mrs. Maling's trees and old build ings, corner Third and D were con demned and ordered removed. The trees in ten days and the old build ing in 30 days. The trees now Btand right in the way of the new cement sidewalk, hence the haste in having them removed. The dog nuisance came in for some strictures by the councilmen. The marshal was directed to en force the ordinance strictly tothe letter without fear or favor. The Rye Grass ditch in the north -side of town is in bad with the council and also a number of resi dents in that section. Something must be done and that right away. City Attorney Duffy was instructed to take action at once. J. B. Shipp, treasurer of the fair association, appeared before the council in behalf of his association, to request some financial assistance. He asked for $600 from Prineville f 300 from the council and $300 from the business men. His Re quest was granted and the recorder instructed to draw a warrant for, the amount. Reports of the recorder and "marshal read and ordered filed. No sandwich stands are to be 'allowed on the streets during the fair. If any operate it will be upon private property, says the council. First and Second streets are to be sprinkled during the fair unless it HOW TO GET STRENGTH alter any sicknes9 is purely a matter of nourishment, whether the attack was on ordinary cold or severe illness; the weakened forces cannot repulse disease genua, and this is why a relapse is bo often fatal or why chronic weakness often follows sickness. Restoring strength, to millions of people for .forty years has proven the real need for taking Scott's Emulsion after any sickness; nothing equals it nothing compares with it. Its pure, medicinal nourishment, free from alcohol or opiates, promptly creates rich blood, strengthens the nerves aud lungs to avert tuberculosis.
