Now York and several other sections In thu east once enjoy ed a flue reputation as raiser, of ap ple, and pears. Most of the people 111 the west have come from the east and they have fond recollections of the fruit raised there. In their Imagina tions there wa. nothing like It ex cept the Oregon fruit of course. But when these people returned to their native heath and sampled tho fruits they were surprised to discover that what had filled them with delight In their youth fell far below the stan dard which our local fruit had estab lished for them. Kastern fruit raisers and more par ticularly lund owners who wuut to dispose of their lunds, are now preaching the doctrine that It Is possible to do In the east what Ij being done in the west. They are making a very appealing .tory of It. Hut what they forget is that every section of the country ha some spe cialty which It cun produce belter than any other section. Oregon is In a class by Itself in tho raining of smnll fruit and apple and pear. It is likewise In a cluss by Itself In other respects, but thnt Is another story. It is not alone that its soil Is peculiar ly adapted to fruitgrowing, but there I the further fuct of the very highest grade of Intelligence being put luto the production of the fruit Itself, sup plemented by a care that perhaps can not be duplicated elsewhere except in France.

The ordinance went to It. first nailing and provide, that eight mills sliull he levied for the general fund and for permanent street Improve ment and that one-half mill .hall be raised for the library purposes. The council did not see bow It could get along with less than the ap propriation that had been made for lust year and felt that a tux of 4 smaller rate would not met expense. Tho limit Is 10 mills and there was some suggestion of raising the levy to that amount. , Chase Aa.e.sments. The assessment, for the damage, to the property of Mr.. S. A. Chase wero approved and the ordinance went through on final passage. An alley wa. narrowed by an ordance that merely reached It. first reading from 26 to 10 feet The garbage or dinance wa. postponed, until the next meeting to allow the committee on police and surety a chance to study it more carefully.

Property owners are going to fight the Carver franchise and any other that propose to run up Water street. Announcement was mado at the city council that the meeting would be an interesting one when the question of gathering a franchise to the electric line up Water street I discussed by the council. Doth representative of the Carver Interests and those of the Clackamas Southern as well a many of the property owners on the street were present and Indicated tnelr views to the city fathers on the pro posed right of way for which the line has asked.

I paid that shortage out of my own pocket." The scenes shifted at the counoj) meeting last night. Instead of the usual break between Councilman Al bright and Tooze, the curtain raised on a battle between Tooze and Hoi man. Albright got Into the fray and fired a few shots at Tooze over the elevator proposition but thai fight was merely secondary. The hall wa crowded with people from all parts of the city, lleforu the audience, the councllmen fought a battle that grew hotter with every word that was said and the people watched the line drawn tighter in the expectation that something would happen. Hut It didn't. The heated members calmed down and the coun cil got back Into the grind of busi ness In short order. The row in Ihe council broke out, however, during the application of the recorder for a readjustment of lie terms under which Councilman TJoe was to pay for the improvement ot the street in front of his proper'. A misunderstanding arose over the In structions that the recorder had re ceived from the council and the as sessment had been paid under that misunderstanding. When it came to the point of correcting that mistake, Mr. Tooze threatened ail sorts of in junctions and legal steps througn the courts and told the council thct he did not propose to stand for the things Hint it was doing to him, and charged that the committee thai had tho as sessment matter in hand was inspired by 'malice and moved by personal ani mosity toward him and saw its chance to get even for some ot the thing that be had done which they might not have liked. Councilman Holman had said that the report had come to him that Councilman Tooze had signed receipt ed bills for the dirt used In his im provement when that dirt did n t cos. him anything. He said that he had no reason to believe those repoiu were tnie but asserted that he would not accept any verbal report on the Tooze property expense and demand ed that the bills be brought Into the council. Mr. Tooze said that he did not have those bills. "I believe this report of the commit tee Is an act of spite and malice and is moved by a spirit of animosity to ward me," declared Councilman Tooze "and I warn you, gentlemen, not to place a lein on those lots for I have retained an attorney and shall fight the case through the courts." Holman and Albright both denied the charge and said that Tooze had a habit of objecting to reports that did not meet with his approval. He call ed attention to the fact that several committees had before reported on assessments for the same property and that Tooze had selected the re port that was most favorable to him and that he had paid hi assessments under that arrangement. Tooze, on the other hand, claimed thl he was offering to pay more than his neigh bor had paid for similar work and that he thought that was all that the council could ask of him In all fair ness. The subject was quickly changed. A Night of Terror. Few nights are more terrible than that of a mother looking on her child choking and gasping for breath dur ing an attack of croup, and nothing In the house to relieve it.

Festivities and fireworks began in the city council Wednesday night when Council Albright charged that Tooze was trying to hold up the con struction of the elevator and that his strategic move were directed all of the time against the elevator itself. The fun started when Morris Bros, filed a bid for the $12,000 worth of elevator bonds that have been Issued by the city and offered to take them at par, providing the council allowed commission and expenses of $600 on the transaction. Tooze on Hi Feet. Tooze Immediately declared that he could not see the sense in submit ting the question to the people ot sell ing these bonds at home and then promptly selling them to an outside concern before the voters even had a chance to determine what they wanted done with those bonds. He contended that all cities through the country are selling their bonds to their own people rather than sending them to eastern bonding houses. He argued that the people should have the bonds In their own hands and that the money should be held at home. He believed that the bonds should be made even smaller than had been at first planned and that the denomina tions should be placed at $10 so even the women and children could save their money and buy city bonds. Gain Interest. Councilman Tooze's contention was that the people of the city would gain an interest In the city government and that they would hold stock in the enterprise just as the people working in mills and other Industries Bave their money and purchase stock in those concerns. Councilman Albright, on the other hand, felt that the whole deal was a conspiracy that had been hatched by Tooze to hold up the work on th ele vator and that he was merely formu lating plots and plans for preventing the construction of that elevator. In fact, he said so emphatically several times. Tooze believed that the measure had been placed on the ballot and that the council would be placed in an em barassing position if the people voted for the selling ofhe bonds and the city fathers had sold them before even an expression of opinion had been given at the polls. The bid was referred to the com mittee on finance." Ask Circuit Court to Reriove Old Member From Of fice Injunction 1 J. E. Callavan, candidate for coun cilman from the third ward, has pub licly denounced the effort to class him with the wet and now says that he Is, was, and always has been a sup porter of the cause of prohibition. In a statement Issued Thursday night, he say that there has been some effort made to allign him with the wet forces and that he is neither in sympathy with the saloons nor has he ever supported their cause. He be lieves In prohibition and will conduct his campaign for office on that platform. Quo warranto proceedings will be brought In the direct court" of the county against the former water board by John F. Albright, member of the city council and relator on the action. The suit will be filed by E. B. Tongue, prosecuting attorney, by his deputy, Llvy Stlpp. The city will be represented by William Stone, the city attorney. Though service was made upon the former board, it was later decided not to bring the action In the court until Wednesday. The suit Involves the removal of the former board from office and the Is suing of a restraining order that w 111 prevent It from performing any of the duties of the members of the board of water commissioners. It recites all of the evidence that has been brought out during the dispute te tween the city council and the board and the tatter's steady refusal to pro duce the water main to the elevator. The complaint recites that "not withstanding the action of the city council In removing defendants from the board of watgr commisioners of Oregon City, the defendants do now unlawfully hold as the board of wa ter commissioners and exercise the duties, functions, and rights of said office, and wrongfully and unlawfully enter said office." The pialntiff asks that the court remove the board from office and that It retain the members from entering into the discharge of the duties of the office and receiving any of the "emo luments thereof appertaining and . "that they be restrained from further exercising any of the rights or duties of the same and that the plaintiff re cover his costs and disbursement herein." Though the complaint Is the recita tion of greivances that the city coun cil believes it has against the board In refusing to lay the main to the ele vator In spite of repeated orders and furnish pressure to raise and lower the machinery that operates the platform. L Philip Soregban has announced his candidacy for councilman at the forth coming election tn December. Peti tions are already being circulated for him and will be tiled within the next few days. During the past week, his namo ha been mentioned as a possible candi date for the office, but not until Thurs day night did he make any definite public statement as to bis Intention.
