Cas-.ier Treasurer, mm TRANSACT BUSINESS The council I: it night after hearing ad dresses from Superintendent of the O. R & N. Co. J. M. Buckley and Right of Way Agent J. B. Eddy who informed the council what the company desired in the vacation of certain streets on the north side of their yards, vacated portions of Monroe Ave; Depot; Parmer; Ash; Birch; and Chestnut streets and Harrison and . Mioln Avenues. During the remarks made by Mr. Buck ley he stated that the improvements the company had in view, would (O isist o" a new modern round house, maenme snops. blacksmith shop, store house etc, would cost fron. $8.1,000 to $100,000. This is the first official statement of the proposed cost which has been variously reported to be from $100,000 to $250,003. The ordinance prepared for the vacation of these ctreets demanded that the com pany be required to put 'in a crossing on Fourth and at t'lr street, but Superin- tir.Jw.tt Buc'.l'Cy f1?t reuvir thm proposition for a moment and offen sive clauses were exsunged. Mr. Buckley settled however that when the new round house was completed that there would be two entrance instead of only one as at present and that he estimated tnat present switching on Fir St would be reduced one half, if ha was Ib error how ever he would not object to putting in a gate on Fir street for the protection of teams. Mr. Buckley also stated that the com pany intended to either run the re fuse water into the city sewer or' run a sewer of their own This vasts water has been the cause of just complaint among the citizens north of the tract for many years and it is hoped will soon be properly taken care of. Mr. Schiller, of the Interior Dprtment, to whom had been referred the petition of the Commercial Club to have the govern ment set aside certain lands at the bead of Rock, Grave and Beaver creeks, ap peared before the council and made the statement that he had just spent four days in looking over this territory for the purpose of investigating tie demands of the city and also to report of the rights of grazers within the forest reserve, and in formed the council that he had examined the waters of Beaver creek and found it a beautiful stream, much larger than the stream which now supplies the city of Ta.oma, and if the watersheds of this stream were asked for. he would certainly recommend it. The council appointed a committee to prepare a petition in accordance ith the suggestions of Mr. Schilitr. INVESTIGATE WA.ER SUPPLY . The foliowir.g motion was introduced by Will.amson "Tnat a special committee of five be appointee to inspect the flow of water in Beaver creek and also Five Point creek and to inspect the most feas ible route and level to convey the waters of either of said creeks to the city; that the $250 heretofore placed at the dispos al of trie water committee be transfered to this spicia1 committee to be used by j them or such portions of it as may bi necessary in maKing this investigation: ! that the committee report at the first regular meeting in September." It was passed by the mayor being added tj the committee which consists of Williamson, Qartljtt, QirJiiiBr, Cxrrani Ri;urii3t coughs QUICKEST CURE colds THE THROAT DR. KING'S CHAS.

NEW BONDS FLOATED Bids were opened for the refunding of the present $30,000 water bonds draw ing six per cent interest and it was found that the bid of the Fastern Oregon Trust and Savings Ba.'.k.of La Grande, was the lowest, being a proposition to refund at 6 per cent, and givin. a premium of $600. This will effect a saving to tne city of $300 annually. LIQUOR LICENCE ORDINANCE Bartlett introduced an ordirance mak ing saloon license $1000 per annum, or six months for $500. It was read and referred to the Ways and Means committee.- This is not as stringent in many ways as the recently vetoed ord nance. INVESTIGATION ON AGAIN The graft investigation which was sup posed to hae "een quietly and effectively shelved at the last meeting, accidentally became quite a live issue and the com mittee has arranged to meet next Tues day evening to make further investiga tion. it an came about by the mayor under the head of reports of committees asking if the committee as a whole, to which the graft the charges agamst Marshall Rayburn and councilman Gar- dinier, were referred, hid any report to make. Mr. Meyers r. marked that tne committee had met once to investigate the matter, that no charges had been filed, and that what was expected to have been a meeting of investigation passed off into a regular council meeting. Mr. Carr took the floor and thougnt that if the committee bad industriously tried to find any charges they would have been forth coming. The Mayor recalled Mr. Carr's attention that he was a member of that committee and that if he kntw anything it was proper for him to present them. Mr. Garr then moved that a com mittee of three beappointedto investigate. This was voted down. In this connection it might be stated that it is rumored that the district attor ney is making a thnrough investigation and that it is possible that indictments will be filed at the next term' of the cir cuit court THE TOWN COW The town cow which is no small portion of our population the latest enumeration placing her in the ZOO list was discussed and the Pound master was discussed likewise for being derelict in his duty. At 10:30 he was telephoned tor but unfortunately for him he was sleeping too soundly to be disturbed. However the safest plan will be for both herder and owner to see that they are properly conxeyed throught the streets to and from the pasture. STREET SUPERINTENDENT RESIGNS POSITION Street Superintendent John Wilson tendered his resignation last evening which was accepted but nothing was done towards electing his successor.

A The following letter concerning a new and destructive fruit pest has just been received by the Yakima Republic: Editor Republic: We have found a new pest on our fruit trees and shrubs in our locality. It seems to be of the aphis specie, only it is brown or nearly red in color, and very small in size, hardly visi ble to the eye. It is very quick in action resembling a race horse, when looked at under the glass. The little newcomer seems to take up its abode on the sunny side of the fruit trees and shrubs, but wc r.ot icr.f.r.c :t::If t: tit cr.t however; it may be found on all parts of the tree. It seems to live and propogate on the upper glossy side of the leaves, covering itself with a fuzz or texture which is very thin. On first noticing this pest in the orchards, you will at once think the trees have been subject to an excessive dust bath, or are in need of irrigation. But upon close inspection you will see the small insect as described above sucking the life from the leaves thus changing the beautiful green color to a brownish green, then gradually a dead brown follows. Now our little enemy is ready to mi grate to greener pastures. Anyone may see this little pest in the orchards in or about Zillah. We have currant bushes that are as brown as if they were visited by a November frost Anyone who knows any remedy or methods of com' bating this pest will greatly aid the fruit interests of our county.
