SEWER ASSESSMENT IS LEVIED Waicr Pressure to Be Tested; Street Improvement is Asked Itnml .Matter ami Dump tJrouiuls Arc (troimileil. From the attitude expressed by the city council Monday night, no ef fort will be made by the city to avoid a lawsuit with Attorney O. P. Co show. The controversy over the own ership of land in Flint's Addition which is claimed by Mrs. Libby Co show and also by the city as a por tion of Hamilton- avenue, has been the subject of contention for several months and appeared before the local hotly again Monday evening when City Attorney Wimberly asked for instructions in behalf of the properly owners for the abatement of a nuis ance. According to the attorney's com munication. Mr. Coshow has recently ru lined a fence to be erected in the si reel inclosing the property in dis pute, with the result that the prop erty owners claim to be suffering from a nuisance created by the ob struction. The street so obstructed runs east from the end of Watson street. In the inclosure is property claimed by Mrs. Coshow by virtue of certain deeds and the failure of the city to reach any agreement whereby it was to be vacated. Attorney Wimberly slated that At torney Coshow had offered to settle lor $150. but thhat the proposition hadn't been accepted. He believed it was impossible to avoid a lawsuit if the city council wished to stand by their rights, and in response to the question, advised that the mar shal be instructed to remove the fence. It .seemed, he said, that this would involve litigation, and was ap parently what was desired by the other parties. He was of the opinion however, that t lie city was prepared io take up the case and believed there was no alternative but to go t.; the courts. In the matter of Hbating nuisances created by such obstruc tions, he said the Supreme Court had held it lawful to take measures to bring about relief. Councilman C reason immediately moved that the marshal be directed to undertake the removal of the ma terial from the street and place the same on the property nf Mrs. Coshow at the side. "If it means a lawsuit," said Mr. Creason, "we ,are ready to Marl something." The motion car ried. Ask lliuher Water Pressure. A petition was presented to the council by properly owners on Claire street in which they called attention to the tact that the water pressure there was so low as to subject leni lo a severe fire menace. They re quested that steps be taken to rem i dy the situation as soon as possible. The article was signed by It. K. Smith. Captain Hackett, Joseph Mi eelli ami W. H. Fisher. In the dis cussion il appeared that, the water supplied to the property there iv from a t wo inch main, which was very small for the amount of water used. Several councilmen mentioned t lie requirements set out in the lriinchi.se and it was later moved that the city attorney make an investiga tion with the view of ascertaining if the franchise requires a sufficient pressure. A test by t he fire com mission will also be made at one: and a report will be made at the next hM't'ting. Assessment Ordinance Passed. The tin rd reading being made up on the ordinance levying assessments tor the construction of a portion ot the Flint Addition proposed sewer system, the much debated mailer was finally brought to a vote. None 01 the properly owners imolved were present and no remonsl ranee nien lioned. On the roll call Councilman Itullv inkle hesitated and then voted yes. The other councilmen also voted in the affirmative with the ex ception of McCliniock. Alter firt passing. M r. McClintoek t hen regis tered the only negative. It was the opinion of several that the system had been started and was undoubt edly a benefit to the residents of that section. It was also their belief that no more equitable plan of as sessment could be suggested and therefore considered that the council should stand by its original plan. Ask New Slieet Improvement. K. A. Hinkle. a property owner on Spring street, between Mill aud Pine streets, stated that he was anxious to have a roadway by which he would lie able to reach hi? garage hy other means than on foot. On account of the mud he said his garage was practically useless, as was the situa tion with John Span Eh. anothei property owner, who was anxious to build a garage ir it were possible to y cur1 some kind of improvement. Mr. Hinkle said he had made tem porary improvements with little or no permanent effect and was now ready to undertake the construction of some street improve men l that won hi be more durable. f(o asked to know the cost of pavement and the method by which action might be started. Councilman Creason replied that the council would co-op'-rate with hi ni. provided the majority of the re.jd-nts on th street were in sym pathy with such a project, and ad vised that a formal petition be taken LOCAL DOCTOR WOULD . SERVE HIS COUNTRY; . ACTUAL WAR EXPECTED Dr. A. C. Seely. member of the firm of Urs. Seely, Setlier 4 & Stewart, toiluy wrote a let- f ter to the Government ofieials offering his services in the naval department in the event J actual war is declared by the f I'nited States on. Germany. In the event Dr. Seely's appliea tiou is approved he will prob- ably be assigned to the medi cal department, and will eon tinue to specialize in eye, ear, nose and throat work. Only In case of actual war would Dr. Seely be called to the col ors. J to the property owners and if signed by a sufficient number, be later pre sented to the council for action. This proposition was accepted by Mr. Hinkle, and he said he- would en deavor to bring about permanent improvement of the best character possible. Dump Grounds Ilcnted. Among the bills for the month presented was one in the sum of $25 submitted by Councilman Creason for rent on the city dump grounds. Asked regarding the rent, Mr. Creason informed the council that he had made known previously that the rent would be $100 a year and that the council could expect a similar bill every three months. He further stated that he was ready at any time lo close the dump grounds in case (he city wished to make a contract with any one else. A motion was made lo the effect that nothing could be done at present but pay the bill, aud the sum was accordingly al lowed. Bonds (iive Trouhle. Mrs. Corrine C. Alley submitted a report in which she stated that she had been unable to cause the return of certain street and bridge bonds which had been called under a city ordinance making il possible for their retirement upon the accumu lation of sufficient funds in the city treasurer's office. Mrs. Alley stated that she had endeavored lo redeem four bonds at the Douglas National Hank and that only three had been tendered. According to the city at torney, the bank could not be com polled to return more than they wished. Other Matter Applications for Jitney licenses were read from W. W. Cage, with Nathan Fullerton as surety ; Waym Cioodman, with J. U. Hoggs surety; C. G. Patrick, with C. W. Hess sure ty. The application ot Mr. Gage was lo take over the license of his son.

There is an old .saying that ' . Nature cures, the doctor takes the fe" but as everyone knows you can help Na ture wy much and thereby enable il to effect a cure in much less time than is usually required.

C. band is to play throughout the car nival and a host of attractions have been arranged, according to word re ceived from the Roseburg Commer cial Club.

We predicted many months ago that as a result or the war some of the crowned heads of Europe would lose their jobs. The Czar has got his and we believe the Kaiser will be about next.
