THE OBSERVER
(Continual from par 1.)
being specifically- mentioned.
The enforcement of the ordinances
prohibiting minors In aaloons.
The enforcement of the ordinance
prohibiting the sale of tobacco to mi
nors. The abolition of the redllght district.
( The wiping out of the questionable
lodging houses.
Sunday closing of saloons.
These alleged Immoralities Mr.
Cates declared were making of Baker
City a Sodom and Gomorrah.
He declared that many of the ordi
nances were not enforced and it was
time to get some one who would en
force them.
"What does the council sny," he de
manded. N
"We will listen to ynu, Mr. Cates,"
said Mayor Tollman, "and to what any
one else has to sny, but the council Is
not now on trial."
"I want to ask a question," said Rev,
Finger, who was called following Mr.
Cates. "I speak not as a radical nor
as a reformer, but I ask this question
In the name of common decency." The
minister then alleged that girls under
18 years of age were allowed to loiter
about the back doors of saloons and
make "dates" there. "If our officers
cannot see these things," he said, "then
what In the name of God can they
see?"
Mrs. John Palmer, who followed
Mr. Finger, declared that she wanted
to speak for the women who had no
right to vote, had nothing to say in
the management of the affairs of the
city, but yet were taxpayers. She de
clared that It was her purpose to beau
tify Baker City from the Inlsde. "I
am ashamed of Baker City," she said;
"it is noted all over for its wicked
ness. I write my friends, -uon i ever
set vour foot In Baker City. It has no
government to bring up a family'."!
She declared that It was her desire to
see something done to protect the boys
and girls.
Many references were made during
the discussion to the reecnt suicide of
Mrs. Andrew Bird, and its revolting
details. That the action taken against
the questionable lodging houses fol
lowing her death will be continued by
the administration, was indicated b
Mr. Pollman, In his reply to the visit
ors.
"There have been many raids upon
these places," said the mayor In reply.
"People have been taken out of these
places before and they will be again.
You can't keep a person from killlnp
himself nor from going to the bar'
through a policeman. But I do be
lieve that the city council of Kakei
City, together with the police are am
ply able to take care of our city."

attended one of their meetings, but he
had been there but a short time when
he became thoroughly Imbued with
the spirit and could not but help see
great opportunities for Grande P.onde
valley.
The objec's of this association Is to
create Interest and enthusiasm that
will result In the changing of our state
constitution and the passage of the
proper legislation that will permit of
forming railroad districts, that under
proper restrictions certain areas enn
be bonded for the purpose of building
and operating railroads. Mr. Miller
cited the furt thnt if 1 Grande could
form a district on the west plde of the
Grande Ronde valley, that It would he
only a matter of organization of se
curing a railroad or trolley line from
Ia Grande to Summon ille, thence to
Walla Walla.
The Idea is identical with the for
mation of Irrigation district', under
which great Irrigation projects have
been made possible In Oregon and
Idaho. The next meeting will he hold
at Ontario on the Ifith and 27th of
this month, and in the latter part 'f
April the conpress will be held In Ia
Grande. At that time the people of
this vicinity should make It Imperative
to attend and become acquainted with
the objects of this organization, of
which Judge Lowell of Pendleton is
prldetit.
Tl.i; i;ts Mr. Miller's first i.-it to
P.nse. Ho was surprised at the enor
mous amount of paved streets and
cement sidewalks that Boise has con
structed. Wiih no adjacent territory
that is anwhere near as rich as I .a
Grande's. Ttnise is able to build h!nrk
