Complete Sewer System May Iw In
Ktalled in West HoHrburg Min
or Matters uro Given Just
Consideration.
NumeroitB matters of au Interest
ing nature were considered at last
evening's session of the city' council,
the moat important of which was that
of installing a complete sewer sys
tem in West Uoseburg. Councilman
Strong, chairman of the committee
on health and police, reported the
sanitary conditions bad in West Rosa
Imrg, and especially referred to the
so-called hospital sewer which ter
minates at a point almost directly
west of the hospital on the bank of
"the Umpqua river, "Upon investiga
tion I found the hospital sewer In
-very bad condition," said Councilman
Strong, "ns are the sanitary condi
tions in West Roseburg generally. I
?an ascertain but one feasible man
ner in which to remedy the existing
evil, and that is by installing a com
plete sewerage system in that section
of the town. Such is a simple mat
ter inasmuch as one line, running
-directly west to the river, would car
ry the sewerage without difficulty."
In concluding Mr. Strong recom
mended that some action be taken
relative to the sewer system men
tioned and upon motion of Council
man Mullen the city engineer was
instructed to survey the contemplat
ed line that he might submit to
the council a statement relative to
the estimated cost of the undertak
ing. The motion passed without a
dissenting vote and indications are
that the work win be commenced at
an early date. At least, Councilman
Strong contends that little opposi
tion will be met in the undertuk-i
ing inasmuch as the citizens in West

Herriugton Comes I tuck.
Unlike the famous James J. Jeff
ries, A. P. Herringlon. proprietor of
a local soft -drink emporium, came
back, and nt ilast night's council
meeting he was granted a license to
conduct a near beer emporium,
notwithstanding that his application
for a license was' rejected at a pre
vious meeting of the municipal body.
Councilman' Josephson advanced a
motion asking that the action of
the council two weeks, ago, when
Herringlon was refused a license be
reel tided,' and that he be granted the
required "operative" document upon
the council's approval of the bond.
City Recorder Orcutt reported that
the bond was In his possession with
I,. Rabat and William Carroll as
sureties. . ' .
Mullen remarked: "I am of the
opinion that another surety should
he added in making the bond abso
lutely secure."
Councilman Strong asked for In
formation relative to the standing
of the sureties and was assured that
they were perfectly responsible.
A motion wns then advanced by
Councilman Mlcellt to the effect that
the license be granted and that Her
rington bo allowed to conduct his
emporium according to the existing.
laws. The motion passed with one dis
senting vote, registered by Council
man a.ullen.
Minor Matters,
Councilman Mullen, chairman of
the committee on-electrlc lights, re
ported that the decorative light post
stationed nt the corner of Cass and
Sheridan street, which was recently
wrecked, had been repaired and was
at present In working order. He
also said that the committee was
inspecting lights in other sections
of the city, but requested further
time In which to file a report.- The
renuest was granted.
Councilman Josephson reported
"Hebe" out of order, the result of
coming In contact with a wagon.
Councilman Strong promised to have
the lady in usual health as soon as
the necessary repairs could be made.
"Hebe" Is familiarly known through
out the citv by the more common
name, "drinking fountain."

CRANE CHIEF POLITICAL ADVISOR
Ballinger MaiiitainK that he Will Not

- ly Asks Him to Step
: Down and Out.
BEVERLY, Aug. 16. President
Taft's scheme to reorganize the re
publican party is steering through a
stormy course " and encountering
breakers innumerable. Speaker Can
non refuses to be eliminated from
his dominating position in the party
councils, and information y hat is
considered perfectly reliable says
that Secretary Balllnger will not re
sign unless the president flatly re
quests such action. Senator A Id rich
has frequently announced that he
will withdraw, but It is generally
understood that he expects to retain
his hold on party affairs and will not
voluntarily relinquish his toga. Sen
ator Crane, who it is believed is
the chief advisor of the president, Is
said to have suggested the changes',
and It is understood that tremendous
pressure is being exerted to cause
Taft to get into the collar and mnke
good the prog ra me outlined by the
senator. It Is rumored that when
Crane approached Balliuger and sug
gested his retirement, that the irate
secretary told .Crane that he could
not understand how his- dropping
from the lime light would help the
party, but on the contrary such ac
tion would only make of him the
scape goat for the mistakes of
others. Further than that the sec
retary emphatically declared that he
would not resign unless Taft, made
the matter a personal request."' Taft
Is now being urged to give Balliug
er a hint that his resignation would
be desirable in the interests of har
mony. port to the effect that Winnie Cad
dis, the plumber, had completed the
Mill-Short street sewer according..
to the plans and specifications fur
nished by the city. Accordingly the
sewer was accepted and a warrant
ordered drawn In favor of Mr. Gad
dls In the sum of $1,128, the con
tract price.
A general discussion prevailed rel
ative to the popular tree nuisance,
and upon motion the city attorney
was ordered to frame an ordinance
providing that alt trees of this na
ture within 100 feet of a sewer he
killed. The ordinance will he sweep
lug in its nature, mid will Include
trees on private property as well
as those In the streets.
The sidewalk ordinance, substitut
ed by Councilman Mlcelll, of the
street committee, was placed on its
first and second reading.
Councilman Mullen asked for In
formation relative to whether the
city had upon Its books an ordinance
prohibiting drivers from driving
horses and wagons over the curbs.
McClallen contended that there was
such an odinance, while Mullen al
iened that there was no such or
dinance at the present time. The
desired Information was unobtainable
and other business was taken up.

noon, said that the curbing was
of miserable construction, be-
