The question of electric llghta re
ceived considerable consideration at
the council meeting last evening.
Councilman Dunn was of the opinion
that the Grande Ronde Electric Light
company had not done everything In
Its power to furnish lights during the
past 30 days; that he had interviewed
Superintendent F. O. Taylor, of the
Amalgamated Sugar company, who
stated that their plant, which con
sisted of a 260-horse power engine
and 200 tons of coal, was at their
disposal; that the sugar company felt
that they were largely Interested In
the city and would have offered their
plant at a very reasonable price.
However, negotiations had never got
to that point, as the light company
stated that conditions were such that
they could not "hook up" to their
power.
Taking advantage of a clause in the
present lighting contract , with the
city, the council passed a resolution
Instructing the recorder to notify the
light company, by giving them 0
days' notice that they would consider
the proposition of cancelling the
present contract and further directed
the recorder to communicate with the
cities of The Dalles, Walla Walla,
Pendleton and Baker City and ascer
tain what scale of prices they were
paying for street lights. Our con
tract was made August 26, 1900, for
three years, on a basis of 80 HghU at
$8 per month; 85 to 89 lights for
$7.75, and In excess of 3 llghta 87.60
per light. While this action on the
part of the council does not mean
that it will cancel Its contract, It may
do so If it Is found that we are pay
ing more for light than other cities.
F. A. Blackwell, proprietor of the
State saloon, offered a bond signed
by the Fidelity Surety company, to
take the place of the personal bond
filed at the time he made application
for his license. This was something
new, and the council looked so favor
ably upon this manner of furnishing
bonds, that It may require all uch
bonds to be furnished by bonding
companies.
L. Remlllard asked permission to
move his saloon from lu present lo
cation on Depot street to the Sommer

The question of granting a liquor
license to B. F. Wade was held up
until the adjourned meeting Monday
night. In view of the fact that this
license, If granted regularly, would

cil haa not yet decided upon a plan
of issuing licenses so that all will ex
pire on July 15, the date of the $1.-

will be adopted Monday night
The report of the special commit
tee appointed by the mayor to Inves
tigate the present supply of water in
Beaver creek, was read and, owing
to the fact that the committee made
Its Investigation at no expense what
ever to the city, the council naturally
was so confident that they had con-
scIentlonBly performed their duty, a
vote of thanks was unanimously voted
by the council.
Mayor Richardson Instructed the
proprietors of billiard halls and bowl
ing alleys that If they permitted boys
of less than 18 years of age to enter

would be cancelled.
A petltoln for a five-foot sidewalk

earnestly, both in and out of the pul
pit Bla preaching was simple, clear
and kindly. He attacked sin, but
showed his love for sinners. The
meeting was marked by humility and
prayerfulness. Cottage prayer meet
ings were held during December and
throughout the meeting. Thus God
was acknowledged and He certainly
blessed those who trusted Him. We
believe that many more will shortly
obey the Lord. This week we hold
seven prayer meetings. The Converts
are already sharing in these services
and will gain strength thereby. To
God the giver be all the glory.
