With Mayor Hoover absent, as ; predicted, from the regular meeting : Monday night, the city council, after 1 many weeks of delay, quickly dlspus ed of the city police question by elect- 2 ing Joseph Huffman marshal to suc j ceed I. J. Norman, resigned. Carl ! Palm, who has been acting as mar s' slml for a period dating' hack to the I beginning of the Illness of Mr. Nor J man which caused him to give up his star, was elected to the position of ; night watchman, a job that has been , held by Mr. Huffman for the past ; ten months. The marshalship carries a salary of 65 per month, $5 more than Hint of the night shift, but the V difference In pay Is more than earn- ; ed by the multiplicity of duties which the day-time oflicer is expected to ; perform In addition to looking after tne peace or uie city. Williams Not Quiilillcd. ( Mayor Hoover's appointment of ;' his unole, Thos. J. Williams, to the ' city marshalship, ae previously an : nounced in The Review, was made nown to the council In written form, ut a provision of the city charter as i to the qualifications of an applicant for office relieved the council of the i necessity of either confirming or re j jectlng Ihe appointment. The pro f vision in question Is that no man is ; eligible to an official position who has i not resided In the city for a period 1 of at least one year Immediately prior to the date on which such np- - pointment is contemplated. Sam Josephson, president of Ihe 's council, who occupied Iho Mavors . chair, asked Mr. Williams, who was 1 pres t. If he had been a resident nf Roseburg for one year past. Mr. Wll- - Hams, who until recently was in j business-at Wilbur, 'replied that he i had not. He was then Informed by .Tosephson that he was not qualified for the position for which Mavor ! Hoover had named him. Josephson Apjiolnts. "Under the authority vested by f e council," said Josephson, "I ap lnt Joseph Huffman city marshal and Carl Palm night watchman, sub ject to the council's confirmation." The appointments were ratified with out a dissenting vote in the bare uuorum present. llerore tbe ques i tion was submitted. Councilman Fisher asked for proof of the author ; ity assumed by Josephson. and the ; presiding officer furnished it by read ; ing that provision of the charter ; vesting the president of the council ; with all the powers and every prerog ative of the mayor of the city when officiating In the latter's stead. ; Make nig Drain a Sewer. Preliminary steps were taken to ward establishing the main sewer of . the city out of the big. natural water drain, extending northwesterly ! through the center of the city, from upper Lane street to the river at the : foot of Washington street. A reso lution was passed directing the city engineer to draft the necessary plans ', and furnish estimates of the cost. These will probably be submitted to the council at its next regular meet ing, two weeks hence. f The health and police committee of the council, comprised of Strong, Fisher and Mullen, presented a re port on this project In which the cost was estimated at not less than PROGRAM STAR THEATRE I -nusimnu on salary 'fr Two Acts McKenzle's Merry-Makers. 4" .

We find," said the report, "that I nuisances exist on the properties .where the drain is open, and that the only way to effectually abate such I nuisances Is to complete and con I nect the nlies alreadv Inirt nmi n.nira I the entire drain the" main sewer of I the city." Dr. George E. Houck, countv health oflicer, addressed the council, saying that conditions along the drain were Buch that there was no argu ment against is conversion into a properly built sewer. "This sewer wrn simply Have to be built; that's all there Is to It," said Dr. Houck. "It's an absolute necessity." Kxprdlte Authority. The report of the health and police committee embodied the recommen dallun that the committee be given power similar to that held by the one on city Improvements, that is: to abate all menaces to public health, with the aid of the police, if neces sary, without wailing for a meeting of the council to ask such authority, as is necessary under the present pro visions or tne charter. This recom mendation was adopted by the coun cil, witn instructions to the city at fornoy to draw up the proner ordin. mice. To ndvhe the cHy attorney In Ihis matter.

Dr. Houck 'tave a talk 011 the motto thai la lin ing hung up In cities all over the i nion, namely, "Swat The Fly." "Manure piles are the hrRorilmr 'jiuri-a ui inese nisease carriers," ex Halned the Doctor, "and attacking these breeding places Is the only effectual way of exterminating the 'lies. It requires only two weeks for Propagation, and the city should see nat no manure Is left standing that engm-ot time In a livery stable, pri vate barn or blacksmith shop." It Is quite probable that Dr. 'louck's suggestion will find Its way mo Hue city law nook. Cimlwi'll ict Anxious. Because E. G. Perham. of Marsh leld, has not come to Roseburer to xecute his bond to secure his con 'ract for the construction of a new fridge over Deer Creek, Councilman araweii displayed some anxiety o Perhnm's faith. I have received from Mr. Perham . certificate of deposit of $2".0 in a larshfield bank as a forfeit." an louncod Recorder Orcutt. "He In- ormed mo some time ago by letter hat he was gelling all of his nia- eriuis together, but that he would Hit begin work until the Warren Construction Company was through sing the present bridge. I then 110 liied him that the council wanted Mm to execute his bond In Roee 'iurg. not In Marslifield. as he sug gested, but to date- I have received to further word torn him." "The first think we know we'll hnve another Kelsey proposition on nir "niKls," declared Cardwell. "This '! whnt we get' for dealing with out siders." On mrtlon. Recorder Orcutt was instructed to notify Perham to come to Roseburg at once and execute a bond or forfeit his deposit check. He will have five days in which to do his If Recorder Orcutt can reach him by long distance telephone or in days if the notice has to be mailed 'o him. Other Mnttrm. Councilman Firter registered a kick against the two local theatres, declaring neither of them were com nlying with the state law In regard to exits. He gave notice that he would call this matter to the atten tion of the police at once. A petition for crosswnlks on North lackson street was referred to the city Improvement committee. First reading was given an ordin ance providing for 36-foot roadways on streets having a total width of GO feet. On streets 50 feet wide or less the roadways are to he three lifths of the total width. Tlllls Allowed.

UK TI1K HOT ltlTl'I.ITlllC IS IIKOI'X, Mrst Two lllocks of ltoscburg'a Street l'uvhig U) be Completed in the Next Few Days. Application of the first bltullthlc material under the street navlne con tract was begiin opposite the depot iu this city this morning. Rolling of the first heavy layer of crushed rock on the first two blocks to be paved was completed Monday and the application or tne bltullthlc paving material was next in order. This bltullthlc preparation is applied hot, a portable melting furnace being kept in the immediate vicinity of wuere tne - dope ' is being put on the street. Following this a coating of smaller size crushed rock Js to be applied and rolled firmly into place with the big steam roller and, finally, the surface coating Is added of the finest screened grade of crushed rock and bltullthlc cooked and mixed to gether In the big cooking and mix ing plant located at the east end of the spur track In North Roseburg, adjacent to tho large rock crusher nnd quarry from which tho rock Is heing taken. Once the curbing and street grades are completed, and the first heavy layer of crushed rock Is In place the surfnclng can be finished rapidly. The first two blocks of completed paving will probably be finished this week. This new paving will be ready for use in a day or two after the last surfacing is put on. A final cover ing of loose sand is usually applied as a temporary protection for the new paving, for a short time, as is done with newly laid cement side walks or other cement work. This bltullthlc, however, is an entirely 'iinei-eiiL suostance rrom cement. When hot It very much resembles coni tar and Is just as black. It har dens almost as soon as It cools but 's not brittle. When this and the crusned rock Is firmly rolled Into nlaco with the 12-ton steam roller. It forms one solid mass, entirely lniior- 10 water and makes a smooth, nnd durable street. The four blocks on Jackson street will bo the next to be completed, as well as the block on Douglas street sdiacent to the Hotel McClnllen. It Is probable that this will all be fln Micd by about Aug. 20, and hv that time several olhcr blocks will be ready for the paving. People are getting very anxious ror the main business blocks to be "I'liipleletl. as it Is Impossible to keep down ihe dust while this work Is go in': on. and traillc and business Is hffins l-niieiletl. with the application :f Ihe bltullthlc material begun, the 'ivnnlellon of the first few blocks Is In si'-iht and In throe weeks or less we expect to have six or eight blocks of fine, niodernly paved street com pleted. ENGINEER IH ISLIll'RT SEES FINE RAILROAD PROSPECTS. H. G. Hurlburt. one of the engin eers who helped to locale the S. P. R. It. through this portion or Oroson nbrn.t 30.vears am, was In this city Monday night. He will attend the big Irrigation Congress at Spokane next week and expects to be present at ino ueveiopnieiit Coni-i's In .tin rsh Held Aug. 20. He has great 'aiih in the early and rapid develnp rr.ei t of this portion of Oregon nnd 10. loves one or more railroads ii.tn the Coos Hay region and cc'icectln !( eastern trunk lines are sure to oon be built. From ne-sonal ex. amination he knows the Umpnu. s.iute ovei the Cascade mountains to be one of the very best and be lieves It will not remain unoccupied much longer. He says this route is 200 miles shorter fro 11 Holw, Idaho, t' the coast than iiy any present railroad line reaching any Beanort. Then Coos Day Is 300 miles nearer i-t ranaina than ,5 Po-ilnnd. thus making a difference of 500 miles In favor of the Coos Hay route With the Immense traffic awaiting tht building of a railroad from Coos Hay to llolse, and this great difference In distance In its favor, there Is excel lent reason to believe Borne strong company will take up the matter and put the road through in the next two or three years. CAR STRIKE IMPENDS STRONGER THAN EVER. Special to the Evening Review. CHICAGO, Aug. 3. Prospects of a street car strike are stronger than ever today. in all. 12.100 men would be affectiii If both surface and elevated men quit work. The demands to which the rail way refused to accede consist prin cipally of a request for a raise from 2 i cents an hour to 30 cents an hour. The company replied that the men were now getting higher wages than are paid In any other city east of the Rocky Mountains, and that Ihey should be satisfied. Preparations for a streetcar con flict between the men and companies such as Chicago has never seen were begun today by ofheiais on both sides and by city authorities.
