timony introduced by the defense
and scored Jefferson heavily for mak
ing his little ll-year-old niece, Amy
Pruitt, a party to the disreputable
scheme. Inducing the child to swear
falsely, Judge Hamilton said to Jef
ferson, was a more serious crime
than that of which he had been con
victed. Jefferson had only $205 on
his person when the fine was Impos

clerk, but Judge Hamilton allowed
him to return home to raise the re

Last Monday night's regular meet
ing of the city council went by with
out any settlement of the election
tie for councilman in tho First ward,
where J. F. Clements and J. F. Cul
ver each received 28 votes for the
office a total of 56 against a total
of only 55 votes cast, as shown by
the official returns. Neither did the
council make any provision for an
other election In that' ward or take
any other stop that might lead to a
solution of the problem. A report
from the judiciary committee, which
pointed no way out of the dilemma,
was formally adopted, and the coun
cil, apparently indifferent to the duty
confronting it, calmly proceeded with
the transaction of other business.
The Judiciary committee, consist
ing of Cardwell,' Long and Patrick,
reported that on the face of the
official returns from Ward No. 1
neither Clements or Culver were en
titled to a certificate of election, and
the recommendation was made that
the election in that particular ward
be declared void. The report was
adopted unanimously.
Councilman Fisher, of Wnrd No. 1,
criticised the judiciary committee
for not investigating" tho mntter
thoroughly before submitting a re
port. Ho asserted that one of the
ballots at the polls in Wnrd No. 1
was cast by a person only 19V4 years

to testify as to whom the vote was

replied that tho judiciary committee.
In its Investigation, could be guided
only by the otlicial returns. Accord
ing to law, he explained, a ballot box
cannot be opened and the vote there
in canvassed only in court and upon

Recorder Orcutt reported that the

just as soon as the necessary bonds
were sold, he having been notified
to that effect by W. L. Arch a in beau.
one of the company's representatives.
who was in the city last week. The
council then began to discuss plans
for meeting the Issue, considering
whether it would be better to lloat
the bonds first and hold an election
afterwards, or to negotiate no fur
ther and proceed nt once to order a
new election. In the course of argu
ment It developed that alter the re
fusal of Morris llros., of Portland,
to accept the bonds voted Inst April
V. I. Vawter, the Medford banker,
representing Nuveen & Co., of Chi
cago, wrote to Recorder Orcutt, ex
pressing the opinion that his firm, in
stead, would probably take the is
sue. Since that time, however, noth
ing has been heard from Mr. Vawter.
Council Long thought that the
best thing for the. council to do at
the present time was to find out
whether Nuveen & Co. would sub
scribe to the bonds. To that end he
moved that the street committee
be instructed to communicate with
Mr. Vawter, and the motion carried

Pursuant to the request of the
council, made at the previous reg

by -the Recorder, for the privilege
of submitting plans and estimates
for a new bridge over Deer Creek
Mr. Jennie explained his Inability U.
be present In person before the coun
cil by saying he was engaged just
now in building a bridge near Oak

he could save the city at least $2000
If r!!rwod to build the Deer Creek
bridge, and that he would guarantee
the structure to be substuntinl and
lasting. The present bridge, Mr,
Jennie said, could ' be repaired nt

Smiles crept over the countenances
of the members-of the 'Board of
SSiS'rK
upon receipt of a lettor from Mrs,
M. C. Wells, of Portland, asking for
a reduction In the valuation of her
vacant property In Drain. The prop
erty was assessed at $650. Mrs.
Wells wanted this amount reduced
to $400, giving as the reason that
the assessment was too high In pro
portion to the valuation placed upon
adjoining property. Referring to tho
higher amount, Mrs. Wells, In bur
letter, Bald:
"The amount seems to savor of
confiscation, and In those days of
so much graft, ono need not be sur
prised at its coming from any direc
tion. As 1 am a widow lady and not
entitled to vote, I must look to you
for protection."
