NO ARRESTS REPORTED
DURING THE ffSTIVAl;
TOWN WELL POLICED
In a communication from City At
torney Carl Wimbtiriy, members ol
the city council who assembled for a
meet ins Monday night were in
Jormett that a certified copy of the
city charter with all the ordinances
an'd amendments, must he tiled in
the near future with the librarian of
the State Supreme Court at Salem.
In onb-r to comply with this reijue.st
a classification and segregation ot
the various measures and legislative
enactments will have to be made cov
ering a period of many years. The
cost, including the printing, will not
be less than several hundred dollars.
According to the city attorney, the
pviiera! laws ol Oregon for ihe year
l!iT, si! oiit in chapter 2 7 :i ll.it'. it
is the duty ot all incorporated cities
and towns in the stale to tile such
material at as early a date as pos
sible. The reason for such proce
dure Is tlfttt it is often necessary to
plead and prove the adoption of
charter amendments in the Supreme
Court and with legislative material
of th cities on file, judicial knowl
edge of the matter under discussion
will be taken wit bout del it y of the
usual protracted lot malit ies. The
city attorney advised that the matter
be taken up in this city at once.
According to several of the eoun
cilmen and the city recorder, the
compilation of the necessary material
will require weeks of arduous work
and investigation. Many ordinances
are on the books which have long
passed out of use, while others which
are useful to a high degree are little
known and seldom seen. Also the
large number of measures has tnade
it a difficult matter .to keep in mind
the legal standing of the city on a j
number ot important questions. The
advisability of compiling a code of aii
tite city enactments has been agitat
ed on M'veral occasions, and it now
seems the task must be completed.
In case t lie work is done, it if
thought a suftici'Mit number of copie.
will be printed so that the material
may be had upon request or in pay
ment of a small sum, as a matter of
reference.
On accuitnt of a lack of a quorum,
no meeting was held Monday night,
and the matter of a code will prob
ably receive some definite action at
the meeting next Mouday.
Ab a lesult of the effi lent
serviie rendered by the traffic
police who worked voluntarily
and without pay under the di
rection of T. A. KanVty, deputv
sheiiif. theie was not uii acci
dent here during the carnival
and not a person was arreMfMi
during the three dava of
tivities. This is considerable
Aof a record when it is consider
J. ed that the attendance was so
large. Those who are entitled
to special commendation for
their work in policing the city
are the men who served as
volunteer police, the l:tdles ?
serving as matrons, members $
of Troop A, Hoy Kcouts. and
the officers and men of the
Fourth Company, Coast Artil-
lery.

ons, chief among them is. there
would come no reply, "The public be
damned." Hut tlu public would be
served. Ilesides, the public would
get a share of the melon by the rail
roads running at cosi, like the post
office system, the public schools
no graft.
I have no personal grievance
against any railroad, save dislike for
their greed or graft. (Selfishness is
the only sin in human life). Too
many melons for railroads.
I earned favors from railroads in
their issuing yearly and other time
passes over continental lines on ac
count of th pres'i ;s a dercrf ptivn
writer. I assisted in working up an
emigration to the Arkansas Valley.
The railroads were (lien run on a
more public usage. Th world was
at peace then and. like May, all the
earth was gay-.
There are millions who are In fa
vor of public ownership of public
utilities, and municipal ownershio ol
water, heat and light. When these
things come in vogue, things will be
had at cost, and salary and wasre
will be good, with no strikes or lock
outs no incentive.

The Ueview today receUed the lol
lowing letter from James Inman, a
former resident of I)ouglas County,
which will be of interest to many
people of this vicinity:
Though a late day, and after many
others have had their say on the
improved road question, under the
i m pending bonding lor good roads,
please allow a say from another vot
er of the state by giving a few opin
ions, among others, why I am in fa
vor of bonding for $t;.(liMi,noi) for
the purpo.se of building hard surface
roads. 1 had much rather it be $16,
(HHi.iMHi, even should there be but a
few counties benefitted by it. as it
would be an entering wedge toward
building a coining wealthy statehood.
Another reason is, not only Ore
pon, but the whole nation needs hard
Hun'ace roads for wagons, autos and
auto triick use, because of present
miserable railroad transportation.
The way the aerage railroad is man
: ted seems to make transportation
prohibitive, because the scarcity of
iiemht cars and consequent slow
transfer to the extent that a ship
ment of hou.-ehnld prods consigned
M Chic;igo last January for .New
York did nor arrive at their desjua
