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

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.

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. Yours for relief,
Herbert K. Rowland
