JUX.1A V 1 Mifr S TUltD . t. DECEMBER 16. 1811 P I OltlPTION BATES: Ona Year Six Month!... Three Month! 12.00 100 .75 NEW CITV CHARTER. The proposed new city charter and coming municipal election are being considered oy many heavy taxpayers and property owners at this time. They are urging immediate action in re spect to the new charter and will insist upon candidates for councilmen and mayor pledging active, progressive administra tion. They are urging the pre sent officers to hasten work on the new charter and that it make every provision necessary to the growth and advancement of the city. The Times-Herald is pleased to note such interest by heavy pro perty owners who have displayed more or less indifference in the city affairs in the past We have always advocated the election of men who have large interests in the city to fill its offices and hope such men may be selected at the next election. The new charter should be in readiness for im mediate publication or otherwise placed before the voters that they may study it and suggest such modifications or additions as may appear best Engineers Cooper & Dodge who were employed several weeks ago to make estimates on water and sewerage systems, have about completed their in vestigations and their reports will be in the hands of the city authorities before the first of the year. They have made a careful investigation of several schemes and no doubt the city will be able to take up such matters in an in telligent way from their reports and select the most feasible pro ject. TONAWAMA. The new opera house and dance hall in The Times-Herald building has been christened "Tonawama" the Piute Indian name for Har ney Lake. The management did not desire it called "Byrds" nor "Times-Herald," but did want it localized, therefore Dr. Mars den was consulted and out of several suggestions "Tonawama" was chosen. Other names that would be appropriate for a play house were simply "jaw break ers" in the Indian language, therefore could not be applied. Tonawama will be found a de lightful place for play goers, dancing parties and general pub lic gatherings as it has been ar ranged for comfort and enjoy ment. Good chairs, fine lights, J well heated and ventilated. The manager has received this week and is having it put in place, all necessary scenery to J produce any standard play writ tnn nrwl ic nnrrnf inf ino fm ntfmp. ." , ; . . v " ... tions oi a High class nature witn one of the regular coast theatrical circuits. The intention is to se cure only standard companies that will produce such plays as are gigen in Portland and regu lar theatres. It is desired to make this a portion of such cir cuit bringing players in by way of Bend then out by way of Can yon City, Prairie City and Baker or the other way if most conven ient This will require some time and may not bo arranged for until next spring. In the meantime the Tonawama Stock Company has been organized and includes some of the best local talent obtainable. This company will not attempt any heavy pro ductions this winter but light draraaa and comedys will bo given at frequent intervals for the en tertainment of the people of this section. Tonawama is at the service of the psople of this section at all times. It is not the policy of the management to play "hold up" but to charge reasonably for the house. Seats will be placed in harmony with this policy and will be sold on a basis of advan tageous position both for seeing the stage and hearing. Children will not be permitted to congre gate on benches in front to annoy and disturb. Churches, societies, charitable organizations giving benefit en tertainments will be given spe cial rates at any time except holiday dates. The first entertainment to be given under immediate manage- t ment of Tonawama will be the Christmas ball. It is hoped to make this an enjoyable affair and conducted in such a manner as will please the public An or chestra of at least four pieces and more if they can be secured will furnish the music. The floor will be put in the best pos sible shape for dancing. The ball will not open until 9:30 as there will be a basketball game between Burns and Prine ville teams at Locher's hall pre ceeding the ball. Later the same week a comedy in three acts will be produced by the Tonawama Stock Company. BASKET BALL GAME. A game of basketball has been arranged between Burns and Prineville to be played in this citv on Christmas night The local team will play a return game in Prineville on New Year's day. These games should be some of I the best ever witnessed in the I state as both teams are classy I and are composed of some of the crack players of the state. The game here will be played in Locher's hall. The local team has begun practicing. The boys should make every lick count from now until the game is called for their opponents are likely the hardest five our boys have ever gone up against. STAR ELECTS OFFICERS.

The doctors could not locate it defi nitely and not having the proper appliances or electric light to as-QiBt-. in its location he was ad vised to go to Portland. He went out Sunday morning ay way oi Bend and on Thursday his mother stated she had heard nothing as to his condition but was confident he was all right as James had said he would not notify her if the nail was removed. It was reported yesterday evening that the specialist at Portland could not find the nail either in his thrn.it or arimnch and the sun position is that it either passed through or was dislodged in coughing unknown to James.

A force of men now is at work under contractors, extending the Oregon Short Line's road east of Vale, and surveying parties are engaged in obtaining addi tional information on the terri tory west of Vale to a point near Dog Mountain. While Dog Mountain is out of a direct line between Vale and Burns, it is believed that Burns will be the western terminus of the first rail link rushed from the eastern portion of the state. Tentative plans provide for further con struction work from Burns to Bend. Crescent, 55 miles south of Bend, is the natural place for a connection between the present O.-W. R. & N. terminus at Bend and the new Southern Pacific main line now being built be tween Natron and Klamath Falls. How soon construction work on the east and west Oregon line will be started will be determin ed largely on the rate that the interior of the state develops. When Judge Robert S. Lovett, head of the Harriman system, was in Portland a few weeks ago, he declared that the road AUTOMOBILES Eight hours to Bend over the fastest and best roads in Ore gon. AH winter service.
