,HUFFMAN IS CITY MARSHAL
Pdlai on Nigtn Job Steps Taken to
Convert Big Water Drain into
City's Main Sewer
! 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

.where the drain is open, and that the
only way to effectually abate such
I nuisances Is to complete and con

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.

War on the Fly.
While the subject of sanitation

'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.

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.

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

lent reason to believe Borne strong

put the road through in the next two

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.
