Review PAVING IffiD . i Warrants on Special Fund (o be Taken at Par CITY CAINS FIVE PER CENT Reduces Paving Contract to About $61,000 Leaves $4500 For Deer Creek Bridge Interest in the pending street pav ing contract has been in a state ap proaching the intense since the city council meeting Monday night. Mainly at issue wns the question as to whether the city warrants to be issued therefor could be sold, and thereby reduce the bid of the Warren Construction Co. to the figures given In the city engineer's estimates. A committee of the city council this morning called upon the local bank ers and placed before them the mat ter in detail. The management of each bank was seen at their res pective places of business and each agreed to take up all the paving war rants drawn on the special fund foi that purpose, at face value, the onl condition being that all the pavlnr funds be handled through the ImuiV taking up these warrants. This hap pily puts an end to all possible con Irnversy on this question anil putt city of Hosuburg warrants at par where they should have been all tlu time. This financing of the paving war rants will bring the Warren Con st ruction Co's. bid down to abou; C1,000. Half of this is to be pale1 from the sale of bonds and the othei half by assessments against the prop erty abutting the pavement wher laid. This will leave a margin o' nhout $4,500 to be applied on. build ing the Deer Creek bridge. Shouh the city bonds be sold at a premluu the bridge fund would be proportion ately increased. iOuglneer Marlon? is here again to complete the cit; surveys, detail plats, etc., under Kn gineer Kelsey's contract. In relation to the sale of the cit' bonds. City Recorder Orcutt nlread has bids on file and these will in opened tomorrow night. More thai face value will probably be offered A movement was started here tola to make this a popular loan and this $35,000 worth of bonds taken up at home by our own people. Several of our business people have slgnilled their willingness to take up $1000 to $2000 each of this bond Issue, showing their absolute confidence In the city. ThlB plan may yet prevail before the council convenes tomor row night. With all these details adjust -d. there Is no apparent reason why the paving contract" should not be let without further delay, with Ihe coi: . dition that the work be coalmen etl ' at once. It will be worth many thousnnds of dollars to How-burg lo have this paving done this season. The conditions preliminary to be ginning of the paving work seem to have all been complied with, the hid of the contractors is less than is be ing paid elsewhere, the warrants will be taken up at par as fast as Is sued and there seems to be no rea son for the council to further delay awarding the contract. Some talk has been heard that further Investigation of the rpialit of bitulithic pavement should be made before a contract is awarded That seems to be useless as some 200 of our citizens went to Kut;ene . ...

An entire ly new factor appeared in the Wil lamette Vulley prune market today, when the Northwest Association was formed tor the purpose of packing prunes (his season. Tile new association includes some of the largest growers in this section it the valley. Its members declare It will not join the packers' combine, which was formed here some time tgo, and will he the only large paik ng firm outside the Hackers Asso--fation. The new Growers' associa tion lias purchased the packing plant of Lesselle Uros., at Albany, and will operate it. The blant has n capacity jf IT0 cars for the season. The cap ital stock of the new coucern is $10, 000. -Among the growers who joVied in organizing the new concern are L. M. Gilbert, of Hosedale; Knos Pros nail, of Salem; S. P. Kimball nnd M. M. Kills, of Dallas: A. L. West and I... M. Crozier. of Rosedalo. L. M. Gilbert was elected president, Knos Presnall vice-president. and S. A. Nesselle secretary and manager. Lesselle was formerly manager of 'he packing plant owned by Lesselle Uros., am: It is apparently the pur pose of the new association to make ise of his knowledge of packing and marketing fruit. Mr. Lesselle said .(might that prunes can be sold in 'he east at figures a full oent above ihe prices now offered by the packing 'louses which are members of the iiaekers association. Tlie growers who have organized the new association will proceed at nice to enlarge the membership. One if the plans of Ihe new concern is to require all members to dry their irunes thoroughly, so that there will 1jh no danger of the fruit spoiling, as was the case in some instances last enr. In order that the growers shall lave no incentive to underdry, each rower will be credited with the ad litiounl weight his fruit may gain luring the processing, grading and lacking, which increase is consider able in many nstances. The effect of the entrance of an independent packing firm into the narket will be watched with inter st, for neither the eastern- Jobbers lor the Oregon growers are pleased A'llh the new contracts that have 'lecn drawn up by the members of he packers' association.

Their families lived together, while they were away with threshing crews. At the time of the horror Mrs. Shultz and Mrs. Fix were nt a theatre In Inloust All of the children were asleep when the fire started. Smoke and flame nwakened the eldest Shultz girl, nnd sbo immediately aroused the next oldest girl. Together they endeavored to awaken the smullci tots, but they were too sleepy to realize their danger. The two older girls then attempted to carry the four Fix children out of the house but they were forced to abandon them in order to save their own lives. Before help arrived from the neighborhood, these four tots togeth er with two of Shultz's children had perished. Although the Shultz sisters gained the outer air, they are burned so bad ly that they cannot live. The fire is believed to have Btarted from a defective flue In the kitchen. Pendleton's llig Kohs.
