To make the people realise whet was doing, a. first-class thunder storm was pulled off with ' real lightning and thunder to heighten the effect.

The main part of . their work, of course, related to that part of the charter, namely, subdivision 1 of section 86, ' which deals with the way In which the city may be bonded. The committee rec ommended a change In the wording regarding the qualifications of elec tors. Several other changes were recommended, the principal one prob ably being that making the tenure of office of the mayor, recorder, chief of police and treasurer one year Instead of two. In the section relating to the licensing of occupations and amuse ments It was recommended to cut out the word employments, and In another subdivision of the sams section, relat ing to the power of the council, the word "and prohibit," referring to the exhibition and hanging of flags from houses and other buildings, will be missing when the charter again comes up for consideration. Regarding fines and Imprisonments, the recorder will have power to Imprison an offender 150 days, Instead of 90 days as for merly. Section 45, In chapter VII, giving the recorder power to tr of fenders without the Intervention of a Jury, will be changed by the earnest solicitation of Councilman Monroe, to allow any offender who Is liable to a serious penalty, the right of trial by Jury. When a vacancy occurs In any office under the proposed new char ter It will be filled by appointment from the mayor. Several other changes were recommended, most of them minor, and of little relative im portance, the principal object of the revision committee being, besides the necessary changes In the section relat ing to bonding the city, to remove the features which were held to be ob jectionable last year. F. K. Lowry, agent for the Ameri can Light & Power company of Kan sas City, was laid before the council In writing. The proposition of this firm, followed by a detailed estimate nf the complete cost of the work In Its entirety, Is that they will Install the water system according to the the plans already formulated, at a cost guaranteed not to exceed $160,- 000, taking the S per cent bonds of the city In payment. The bonds, of course, must be passed upon by the company's attorneys, but If found necessary to hold a special election, the company agrees to stand the ex pense. The work Is to be Inspected and paid for In sections, as It pro gresses, the city fiot to hold out more than 10 per cent of the amount due at any time. If at any time the company should ask for the bonds In order to com plete a sale, the city should turn them over, receiving a cash equivalent therefor. This proposal . naturally elicited a good deal of discussion. Councilman Meyers thought the clt) not In position to take up a proposition of the kind at the present time, and fa vored advertising for bids on the work, and on the bonds; he thought the city ought probably to realize more than par If the matter should be delayed until after the presidential election. Mayor Halt favored the submission of the figures to some reputable engi neering firm In order to learn If the bid of Mr. Lowry's company Is a re a sonable one, and as good si we may expect to get. If such were found to be the case, he was In favor of Imme diate action, saying that he could see no reason for further delay If the work could howm done as reasonably as at any ruiure time, councilman Bay was of the same opinion a Mr. Meyers, believing that a delay might be profitable. Councilman Williamson arose to say that he fully understood the need of a new water supply, and waa favorable to any proper action that would help the matter along, and he further urged the vital necessity of Immediate action If the city 's ever to secure the Beaver creek water. He said that In a short time the govern- ment. In the Absence of any definite move on the part of the city, would throw open that part of the reserve, and In such rase It might be extremely difficult to regain the Beaver creek water reserve. Mayor Hat! continued to the water committee. INVOKING THE RECALL. some one to employ expert advice re- it Is entirely probable that after the garding the proposition of Mr. Lowry,' next meeting of the city council no In order that some definite, action stock of any kind will be allowed to might be taken and Mr. Meyers con- be herded In any of the streets or nW tinned tii amviha nirninnr anrn n rm iki t I...... . i. t,.. . ...mn An., m n m n ... - - .

The matter was finally referred back jots In the boundaries of the city with out the express permission of the' owners of such lots, and then only If the stock Is In charge of some person sufficiently strong and mature to pre vent straying or damage by the stock. Of course, the ordinance proposed does not prohibit the driving 'of animals from place to place, but Its main ob ject is to absolutely prevent the stak ing or herding of cows, etc., on the Streets and alleys. An ordinance em bodying these provisions was read the UMtiH ,1mA Inn, nlorh, nnit wnnM latt . ....... ......... n w a Its final passage had not Councilman Monroe arisen to ask how old a per son Is considered by the ordinance to be competent to care for stock In the city. dered by this question, the ordinance was referred back to the street com- . mlttee, and will come up' for final passage, possibly In an amended form, at the next meeting. First Recall Petition Is Issued In Med ford on a Member of Council.' A Medford dispatch says: The first recall petition in Oregon under the new amendment to the con- j stltutlon adopted at the June election Is being circulated in the First ward j by prohibitionists for the recall of leged cause of the recall Is that Mr. Olwell does not now reside In the ward. The real cause Is thought to be that he voted to license the Hotel Nash bar and It Is hoped by getting Olwell out to elect a councilman in his place who will favor a dry city. Mr. Olwell la a popular business1 man of this city and no complaint was ever filed regarding his removal to another ward, until Councilman Wortmah challenged his vote last Tuesday becauss he voted to keep the Hotel Nash bar In ' operation. . Mr. Wortman threatened an1 Injnuctlon against the license at the time, but abandoned his intention. FOCLKES HERE SrNDAW Noted Prenbytortan Preacher of Port land Will Bo n La Grande The Rev.
