The city dads are after the reclamation officinls with a big stick, and are determined to have tho old disease breeding Ankcny cannljabolisbod or know the reason why. The council has been hammering, at the govern ment officinls bore for somo months to got something done to abate this nuisnncc, but to date nothing defi nite has, been accomplished. Last night tho report of A. Castel, S. T. Summers and Marion Hnnks, who had been appointed by t.bo council to make a thorough investigation of the cnnnl with the view to determine if it is responsible for tlio unhenlthy con dition of tho town, was received and unanimously adopted by tho dads. The report stated that tho canal is in a deplorable state of filth, nnd that the honltb of tho entire town wns menaced therqby, and that something should be done nt onco to rid the town of this filth. Just what steps the reclamation officials will tako i'.i the matter remains to bo seon, but in tho fnco of tho fact that this canal has been condemned by City Health Officor Hamilton and now by a special committee from the council,, it is likely that pressure will bo brought to boar on those in powor to remedy this evil. Great Scarcity of Houses for Rent ing Purposes in Central Point Many More Are Needed. WALKER BUYS MORE LAND IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA CENTRAL POINT, Nov. 5. (Spc cial.) There is a great scarcity of houses for renting purposes in tlrn city, and tho situation seems to grow worse every day. New peopla are arriving constantly, and when thoy begin to look around for a suitable residence they are confronted with the fact that there arc no houses to rent. One agent alone has over 2o houses for rent, and ovary one of them is engaged. Whilo this speaks woll for the growing condition of Central Point, yet it will soon begin to have its bnd effects, as the new arrivals, if thoy cannot find suitable quarters here, will go where thoy can. It looks like a cbanco for a good in vestment for somo capitalist to build more houses in this city. TWO CHANGES TO BE MADE IN FAIR BOARD SALEM, Or., Nov. 5.
