At an adjourned meeting of the city council held Tuesday night, City Recorder Langille was instructed to notify John Nuveen & Co., Chicago hankers, who had been awarded the municipal water bonds, that nego tiations between that firm and the city were to be considered at an end, because the lonir delava and manv excuses for not closing the bond deal ottered by the eastern bankers were not considered as legitimate by the council. A letter was received Tuesday from IN U Veen & u., which was the first communication which the city has been aole to get trom the etneago concern in several weeks, with the exception of a couple of tele(jrams. In the letter received this week, the eastern hankers raised several objections to closing the bond deal, which in view of other knowledge which the council nas recently gained about the UJucago concern, the city fathers to believe that the further delavs were not bains for.Ae city's best interests, and that the Nuveen people did not intend to take the bonds at all. The City has had no absolute as surance that, the Nuveen bankers. would be able to ultimately swing the bond deal and reports have been had from other towns in Oregon, where the same company has been awarded the bonds and not taken thein finally. The constant appearance and re-appearance of representatives of the American Light & Power Co., of Kansas City, who have been trying to ersuade the city officials to give them the contract for building the new water system and to turn the bonds over tp them as payment for the work, has led the city ocfnials to believe that some understanding might exist be. tween the Chicago and Kansas City concerns, the bankers playing a delay game to give the contractors the work on their own terms. Similar circum stances have existed in other Orugou owns. At LaGrande, Nuveen. Co failed to buy the bonds and the con-, tract for the water system was gMYt'ii to the Kansas City firm, and it is understood that the work, was not satisfactory in the eastern Oregon town. The agents of the American Light & Power Co. cited this instance of their doing the work in urging that Nuveen would not close for the bonds. At Medford the same sort of. a situation existed, . but the work waa not given to the Missouri firm and it is understood ttat Nuveen is now causing'delay at Cottage Grove, where a condition soch as is in effect hereJ eixsts. , ' In the correspondence which the city officials have , had with. Nuveen & Co., the latter has men tioned the fact that on several oc casions they had recejved letters from H. F. Davidson, president of the local water company, threatening . litiga tion should the Chieagq men buy the. bonds. It has been hinted that there may have been an understanding be tween the Chicago bankers and persons interested in the local company for the bonds to be held up until the com pany could arrange its affairs and sell their plant to the city. The city will -immediately take steps to re-advertise for the sale of bonds and it is probable that an ordin ance will come before the council Mon day night providing for a new sale of bonds. . . . . The council Tuesday night, decided that a new ordinance was not necessary for a sane July Fourth, but that the ordinance which prohibits the use of explosives and fireworks in the city units should be enforced to the letter. GAMBLERS WORK HOLD-UP GAME There was considerable stir Sunday night over a holdup of two men by a lone highwayman with a revovler at the corner of Fourth and Columbia streets. The men held up were R. V. Rusk, of Payette, Id., and Joe Dar vin, of Dufur. The former claimed to have lost a watch and $80 while the latter was the loser to the extent of fS&and a watch. An investigation by Mrshal-Lewis led- him to the belief that the holdup wa dpne by W. F. Rusk, a hrotherW -ft. V. Rusk, and thai, it -was a-jb put up OR Ilarvin, who was the sole lose?. The two Rusks came to town the latter part of last week and were recognized by former residents of Pavette. as men who formerly loafed around the rac track there. Darvin came in Sunday from The Dalles and topped at the Gerdes rooming house, where the other men -were living. t he three became acquainted and Dar vin went tor a walK with one or me brothers Sunday night, during which time the hflld up ocurred. All three men aided the officers in search of the city that night and early Monday morning Marshal Lewis wont to the room of th Bosk brothers and searched the men and their belongings. He failed to find a trace of the stolen goods, but they were well equipped with crooked gambling, apparatus, which confirmed the officer's suspicion that they were had men. Darvin could scarcely believe that they hail betrayed him and as there was no evidence they were not held, but were urged to leave town, which J morning boat. they the HOOD RIVER TEAM TAKES A BRACE Columbia River League standing : Club Won Lost Pet.

Gd. hdale fiTayers by a score of 11 to 1. The local boys were strengthened by Druhot, a new pitcher, who slipped them over the plate in a fasionh that the Washington players could not fathom. The rest of the team gave the twirler good support and during the eighth inning was the only time that a Goldendale player was able to make the circuit of the bases. The locals had the game won in the first inning when they led off with three runs and the rest of the scores were added in the seventh and eighth sessions. Klaus and MacMaster were the batteries for the visitors, but the former could only throw puzzles part of the time. The Hood River team put up the best game of the season ana tneir suck work was strong. Gessling and Capt. Johnnie Castner were able to land on Klaus for a number of good hits and the other members of the team got a good share. Next Sunday the team journeys to White Salmon and it is the program to take a fall out of the leaders of the league on that occasion. Manager Lew Morse has an eye out for another player or two to patch the weak spots wun( ano tne noys are going over to win. The Dalles took the first game from White Salmon Sunday and spoiled tneir clean percentage record and ,the local tossers are determined to eifce them Out of another eame. The team will be accompanied by a large crowd from here and the rooters are going to help the boys laud a victory. WILL PI T SPENCER ON HOOD RIVER RUN The steamboat, Charles R. Spencer will be put on the run from Portland to Hood River within a few davs and will probably make the rouncf trip Delween nere and the metropolis daily ruhnine for the summer tourist uas- senger trafPic. The Haitey Gatzert has been laying off this week and is being renovated for the summer ex curison rtin. It is probable that the liailey will be put in service Monday making' the round trip out of Portland each day and in case the Spencer is nut iii commission, it is probable that lieither of the boats will go above Hood River. The run from Portland to The .Dalles and return is too long for a one any trip. The boat traffic from Hood River is ihw very heavy. The Dalles City went into service Monday and will continue on the. Portland-Dalles run carrvin? oassemrers and freicrht all Summer. The Spencer and Gatzert have not been carrying freight on their summer excursions runs, but Commodore O. C Dean is trying to arrange tor tnem to operate an ex press service between Portland and noou Kiver. in case the floats go no farther up the river, there will be a. stop of about two hours here in the early part - of the afternoon, which would uive amide time for the har ling of freight while the boat was docked heTe, ami Would not interfere With the passenger traffic. Commodore Dean is esDeciallv anxious to obtain this service at least on the down river , inuring - ine oerry season, wnen it will be very convenient and quick way to get the berries onto the Portland market dally: ft Mere News of London Wedding.

TRAINS NOW RUN TO PARKDALE MT. HOOD R. R. OPENS NEW LINE Excursion of Business Men Planned Booming Upper Valley Country -New Depot. to The Mt. Hood Railroad began opera ting trains on its extension from Dee to Parkdale in the upier valley Tues day, and that enterprising villag-j is booming. For the present the regular trains leaving here in the morning and returning in the evening are being run through to the southern terminus of the road, but within a few weeks a regular schedule will be arranged, which will probably mean two trains each way a day between Hood River and Parkdale. A new freight tariff sheet has been issued by the Mt. Hood company, which contains the rates to the three new stations of Trout Creek, Woodworth ami Parkdale. With the opening of the new road, the large development which has been going on in the upper valley will be accelerated. There is an immense amount of unimproved land in that part of the valley, and many new set tlers have gone in there within the last year, if good train service for passenger and freight traffic is pro vided it will mean that many other people will soon go into the upper country to which the greatest draw backs have U en itit nminlnnnaa ,.,,,1 ditliculty of access. Many of the people in this city and the lower valley are ignorant of the extent and resources of the upper val ley, and in order that thev nmv Im m. better acquainted with that section, upt.

I he MOMS of Parkdale and thi valley country, will provide some en tertainment and assist in showing the visitors the country. This trip will be along the same fines as trips which have been made in many counties of the state from the mnntu in ti. outlying communities and in a small way win oe similar to the trip recently made bv Portland himinpua man tn If la- math Falls and southern Oregon. Stops on the junketing trip will also probably . , w ioii, me iiiiji ui uie Oregon Lumber Co., and dtt the tract of the Honeboro Orchard Co. PARKDALE WILL HAVE FINE DEPOT Plans are being drawn by Architect R. R. Hartlett for a depot to be built by the Mt. Hood Railroad at Park dale, the new terminus of the railroad in the upper valley. The new station will be built on the bungalow type with a shingled exterior, but will be the largest and best Btation along the line of the road. The station win be 70 feet long and will contain, besides a commodious waiting room, ticket office, toilets and freight room, appartments to be occupied by the agent and his family in the dejiot. These rooms will all be on the ground floor and the second floor will be fitted with several rooms, which mav be utilized as offices of sleeping quarters for com pany employes. The dejiot will be built along artistic lines with wide projecting roof. The railroad company, which will begin running trains through to Parkdale on a regular schedule in a few days, will build the new depot immediately in order to have it in shape for the sum mer traffiic. Architect Hartlett is also drawing plans for two other smaller way stations to be located in the new railroad extension which will contain freight and waitinf room. One of these stations will be erected at Wood worth and the other one probably at Trout Creek. W. EL Marshall was the nurchaser of the first lot in the town of Park dale, the new terminus of the Mt. Hood K. R. in the upper valley and he will soon establish a real estate office there.
