One Pbicb to All WrVnnAnrti" Job Printing VOTE WAS REGULAR RE-COUNT OP VOTE CONFIRMS WILLIAM? ELECTION. Transfer Man Now Ha Majority of Two Over Story. Contract I Approved. ' At a Rpeclal meeting Monday night the' council by a vote of 6 to 2 conducted a re-count of the vote cart for Alder man In Ward One at the recent muni cipal election and found that David C. Williams, the Republican candidate, de feated Councilman E. F. Story, candi date for re-election, by a maojrity of two. Vote a canvassed by council two week ago gave William three majority. Monday night' re-count, Including two dlHputed ballot which were counted for Story, gave the following result, Story, 167: William, 189, The re-canvas of the vote at this time was oppoiied by councilman -elect Williams, who was represented by At torney J. B. Hlge. W. S. U'Ren and C. H. Dy, on ground that by -the city charter the Incoming and not the outgoing council Is vented with the Jurindlction of nettling all contests affecting the mem bcrshlp of that body, that the old coun cil having' canvassed the return and caused certificates of election to laaue, had exhausted Its right and for further reason that the council had failed t provide by ordinance a required by charter provision for the holding of such contests Involving a recount of the vote. Numerous protest and objection offered by counsel for William, the conteatee, Were Ignored by the majority . member of the Council In favor of Storf who was represented by Judge G. E. Hayes and W. A. Dlmlck. After an extended de- hHfA AnA rnunh lpcrnl ftnarrlnz. the re count waa ordered, wie cortteetant gain ing but a single vote. The result of the re-count 1 a com plete exoneration of Constable H. W, Trembath, who as a member of the elec tion board In that Ward, waa accused by Story In the conteat paper that were filed, of having purposely and fraudulently misread a number of the ballots preju dicial to the interest of Story and In fa vor of Williams, whose election, it waa alleged, was thua secured Illegally. Despite the vigorous protest of At torney Hedge, U'Ren and Dye, rep resenting prominent citizens and tax payer, the council by a vote of S to 2 adopted a resolution offered by Kelly approving the contract that has been prepared by the" railroad company for certain team and pedestrian aub-waya In return for a perpetual franchise to Railroad Avenue and - Instructed Mayor Dlmlck' and Recorder Curry to indorse the contract tn behalf of the city. The contract ci.mot bo finally entered Into, however, ur.i'l udg McBrlde sustains the motion to dissolve the Injunction which he haa under consideration. Un less the Injunction la dissolved before January 1, when the member of the new council 'take their seats the Senti ment of that body will be 6 to 4 against concluding th transaction between the city and the railroad 'company on the basis of the arrangement that la now pending. The vote on the resolution Monday night was a follows: Ayes Chapman, Kelly, Koerner, Mason, Story and Straight; Noes Justin, Knapp; Ab sent Wm, Sheahan. In objecting to the consideration of the resolution, Mr. Hedge based hi protest on the following objections That the meeting was not regularly called; that it waa not called for the purpose of considering the franchise question; that it waa an attempt by the council to grant rights not permitted to be granted by charter; that it waa an attempt to burden Railroad Avenue with additional servi tude without compensating the abutting property owner. Mr. U'Ren voiced the same objections and added that it was an attempt to dodge the injunction of i the circuit , court and an attempt by a i discredited council to over-ride the ex ! pressed wishes of a large majority of the I people as evidenced at the recent city i election when the franchise, which was the true issue in the campaign, wa de feated by a majority t of three to one. He also objected to a consideration of the resolution for the reason that Kelly and Story are not legal member of the council since each reside in a precinct other than the one from which they were elected. ' Mayor-elect Sommer, upon Invitation of Mayor Dlmlck, occupied a beat be side His Honor during the council's de liberations. ' New Officers Hold Conference, At a conference last Friday night that was attended by the members of the Cltl sen' Committee, Mayor-tlect Sommer and a number of the newly elected mem bers of the city council a definite pro gramme of action waa discussed with reference to the Southern Pacific fran chise that must be finally passed on by the incoming council. It will be proposed to the Southern Pacific that the under ground pedestrian crossing at Third and Seventh streets be dispensed with and overhead crossings provided Instead, that an overhead team crossing be provided at the foot of Tenth street. ' It Is ex pected ' that these changes will prove agreeable to the railroad company and that the pending litigation between the citizens of Oregon City on one hand and the members of the council and the rail road company on the other, wilf be ad justed to the satisfaction of all parties interested. CROSSED THE PLAINS IN '49. Daniel O'Nell, Pioneer Steamboat Man, Makes Last Voyage. Daniel O'Neil, a well known pioneer, died Sunday night at the Rose Farm, near this city, after a brief illness. A year ago Mr. O'Nell, because pf falling health, severed his connection with the O. R. & N Company and returned to this city where he died in the same house that he waa married in 46 years ago. Mr. O'Neil was born at Duanesburg, New Tork, January 6, 1829 and In 1849, when 21 yeara of age, he crossed the plains, coming to Oregon, a Quarter master CJork of the First Regiment of the United States Mounted Rifle. Thla regiment came direct o Oregon City, where they passed the winter of '49. In 1853 he went to Australia where he re mained for four years, returning to Ore gon City In 1858 when he married Mis Minnie Holmes, daughter of the well known pioneer, Wm. Holmes, at the old Holme farm near Oregon City. Ac companied by his bride Mr. O'Nell re turned to Australia where (even year were spent and, after a trip around the world, returned to Oregon where they have lnce resided. He leave a widow but no children. - For the last 35 years, the deceased was In the employ of the old Oregon Trans portation Company or the Oregon Rail road it Navigation Company in the ca pacity of purser on Columbia river steam er. Mr. O'Nell waa purser on a line of steamer operating between Astoria and Portland when the fare between those two cities waa $25. When hi health failed him a year ago, Mr. O'Nell wa employed as purser between Portland and the Dalle. Burial took place Tuesday afternoon In the Holme lot at the Masonic ceme tery, funeral service being held at the Rose farm at 2 p. m., Rev. P. K. Ham mond officiating. The service were largely attended by Portland people. ALFALFA EXPERIMENTS. Alfalfa Raising Proving Successful at Experiment Farm. Out at the Experiment Station Dr. Wlthycombe, the director, I carrying on some experiments In farming that will be of great value to the people of Ore gon. ' Four year ago an experiment in grow ing alfalfa waa begun, and the result, which at this time can be asserted as proven ' facts, are that alfalfa can be raised In Western Oregon as easily and auccessfully as clover. In California and other state where alfalfa 1 grown it require considerable Irrigation, but the plat of alfalfa on the Experiment Farm has received no Irri gation, and 1 now in It fourth year, which recommends alfalfa very highly for a forage crop. During the past three year there ha been ten crop of hay harvested from thl plat. Last year it yielded an average of eighteen tona of green feed to the acre or a little over even tons of dry hay to the acre. Where alfalfa is properly started and the land well drained there is no doubt about It being raised successfully, and it is thought by many that in a few years there will be as much of it raised in the Willamette Valley as there Is clover. Dr. Wlthycombe 1 In favor of rotation crops for the genera; farmer and ha made several experiments f along these line. One of the systems 'that he rec ommend Is a follows: Raise a crop of corn or 'the silo. Then In the Fall, after the corn crop is off, disc the ground once and drill in wheat In a normal season this will yield forty bushels to the acre. The first of March sow on the ground six pounds of red and two pounds of alskle clover and fifty to seventy-five pounds of land plaster to the acre. With that treatment the land, the next year after the wheat crop Is har vested, will cut from three to four tona of clover hay, to the acre, and yield a second crop for eed or pasture. The following year the crop should be about three tons with a good pasture there after. After pasturing In the Fall of the second year, turn under and sow to win ter wheat or oats, then start the process over again. Use land plaster each spring on the clover. There are two principal .cfajects in , . , , V . "r: : th tahAr tn A minimum mpar V, fhfai rotation the ground is kept In gbod physical condition, and the cultivation can go on for generation without any serious loss of plant food. , Another method of rotation, which has been successfully tried at the Station 1 to sow the ground with any kind of spring grain, then in the Fall go on the stubble with a diec harrow, before the rains, and sow to vetch with winter hA&r np Ar rutrfl inn put fnt hov Tha 1 next Fall plow and the Spring, follow ing bow grain and so on.

The econl bl-ennlal report of Albert ft. Sweetser, State Biologist, ha been printed and fijed with the Governor! For the past two year the work of thl Important office has been given to the investigation of the water upplt gjid examination of the water of several large communities. Some space i devoted to the Oregon City water aupply and tha " splendid Altering system In use hare. Mr. Sweetser finds that the purification of the water aerved by the Oregon City water works is 99 par cent. With ref erence to the local water service and the purity of the supply Mr. Sweetser report a follow: "Situated on the Willamette" River. about thirty-eight mile below Salem, I Oregon City. The city supply Is ob tained directly from the river .passed through a system of mechanical Altera tion and pumped Into the mains directly, their being a reservoir on the hill as an overflow balance. - "The filter plant waa Installed by th California Jewell Filter Company, rep resenting the New Tork Continental Jewell Filtration Company. The build ing is located near the plant of the Port- land General Electric Company, and Is" 28 by 75 feet. Beneath the building Is a cemented storage tank of the same size and 12 feet deep. The filter itself comprises a battery of two tanks each 18 feet in diftmpfjir anA foot hfirh V.v. ing an inner tank 15 feet in diameter, and 6 feet high. In the bottom of each tank I a system of branching pipes provided with screen cup, the mesh of which is smaller than the grain of the sand used. These two have a total daily capacity of 1,000,000 gallons, and units can be added at any time.. They are filled to a depth of about four feet with sand brought from the Berkshire Hills, Mass. Thi sand Is found to have rounded grains, and while the first ex pense may eb large, yet It haa been shown by experiment that the loss of sand and the amount required for re newal is very small. 'In a building at the rear are two settling tanks 22 feet in diameter and 14 feet high. The water Is pumped from th river into these tanks and enters about two feet from the bottom, producing no disturbance in the deposit, a trace of alum being being added as it is pumped in. It remains here about one hour and twenty minutes before going "to tib fllter, allowing heavy suspended matter to settle to the bottom, from which it la readily remove by a patented device. The water is carried by gravity from the settling tanks to the outer filter tank and flow over the edge of the inner on apt iide, thu distributing it evenly ana with little disturbance, over the surface of the sand. The alum acts as a coagulant and also forma a sort of skin over the sand enhancing Its filter ing properties. Actual analysis shows that in spite of addition of alum th filtered water haa lesa alum than th original. "The fllterate ia collected In the stor age well and distributed by a high pres sure pump. The filter Is washed out about once In twenty-four hours v by pumping filtered water back through the screen cup and at th same time stlr- rmg the sand by agitator or revolving; .ww.m. rakes, the wash water being carried oft to the sewer.
