.Meeting Adjourned to Meet Again
Next, Friday Evening at Eight
In a brief half hour session last
evening, the council went through a
large amount of business, for so short
a time, and paved the way for a
very important meeting next Friday
evening. All were present excepting
Pnnnnllman VkaIoah
- The flf8t matter
taken up was that
of instructing a .committee of the
council to purchase sewer pipes and
make arrangements for speedy ship
ment of it to be used in constructing
the sewer across the streets where
paving Is to be put down.
No Itemonstraters Present'
Considerable improvement to C
street in South La Grande had reach
ed the state where property holders
were given a change to remonstrate,
but none were there, indicating the
general feeling of agreement with the
improvement fever. Sixth street was
not acted on last evening. '
Break in Water Pipe.
Intake Caretaker Ed. Propeck came
down from Beaver Creek yesterday
and reported a leak in the main pipe
at a point near the Bartmess ranch.
Air valves had evidently blown out
and though no great quantity of water
was spilling, still the matter needed
immediate attention and Water Su
perintendent Oilman today sent men to
have it repaired.
Ben Morgan, who styled himself
Not a temperance crank but a friend
of law and order" appeared before
the council stating that he had pro
vided for analysis of various kinds of
drinks sold In La Grande as near-beer,
and accused them of being more than
regulation percent alcohol. He volun
teered his evidence at any time that
the council might deBlre it. Analysis
were nmde by an O. A. C. chemist.
Fair Streets Closed.
It appears that a petition presented
to the council last evening, by Chair
man W. B. Sargent and Committee
man J .E. Reynolds et al, represent-
lng the building committee of .the
Pair association, will be granted
next Friday evening. The exact word
ing of the petition in one instance
infringed on the rights and powers
of the council and when that is chang
ed, H is evident the council will fall
In line with the petition. The prayers
J
are merely to have Spring street from
Fourth to Sixth, Fifth street from N.
to Spring. Penn. from Fourth to Sixth
closed from traffic during the week of
the fair, and the vacant block bounded
by Penn.. Fifth and Fourth set aside
ror tne use of the fair. Where the
council wished for a more explicit
B I I I I Um II I I I .Ml.nl oil .nnnnoealnna r.A v- . u u V'UU I'm lll' A T
prayer was in the matter of giving
the fair permission power to handle
and control all concessions and
street licenses during fair week! This
will be modified to stipulate amuse
ments and similar concessions which
might hug close to the fair buildings.
Adjournment was taken until Fri
day evening.
AUSTIN IN RUINS.
Interior Town is Badly Damaged by
Conflagration. '
The town of Austin Is practically
no more. A disastrous night fire
worked havoc and only Jack Edward's
saloon and the city calaboose are left
of the once hustling town.
The fire originated from the light
ing plant in Courtway's saloon and
owing to the poor facilities for fight
ing the flames the blaze made rapid
headway and could not be stopped
but '. finally burned itself out after
destroying four buildings. The post
office, which was run by Mrs. Irvine,
was burned completely down, as was
the boarding bouse, which was con
ducted by Mrs. Hobbs. An old store
which was owned by Mr. Miller was
also taken by the flames. The latter
building was unoccupied. These four
buildings were grouped together and
It was impossible to Bave any of
them.
' The railway station of the Sump
ter Valley was not damaged, nor was
the mill of the Oregon Lumber com
pany, which Is some distance from
the town. -Baker City Herald.
One day last week nearly $30,000
worth of land was sold near Hermis
ton to people from North Dakota. :

One hundred thousand dollars for
Pendleton's Junior college! exclaims
the Pendleton East Oregonian .
This Is the slogan of the -campaign
Inaugurated in this city this afternoon
for the old Pendleton academy which
hereafter is to be a Junior college.
Rev. Edward M. Sharp, D. D., pas
tor of the Mt. Tabor church in Port
land, and Rev. David A. Thompson,
pastor of the Spokane avenue, for
merly the Sell wood church, arrived
last evening from Portland and willl
have active charge of the campaign.
They will be assisted by members of
the board of trustees, the commercial
association and local business men
generally.
These men and President Bleakney
of the Junior College met last even
ing with J. V. Tallman and G. M.
Rice of the board of trustees and W.
L. Thompson, Ben Hill, Charles Bond,
Clarence Bishop, Will Ingram, Harry
Gray, Judge Stephen A. Lowell, Leon
Cohen, Mayor E. J.! Murphy and
Councilman W. E. Brock, represent
ing the Commercial association. A
second conference Is to be held with
these men this evening. '
The plans which have been adopt
ed as a result of last night's confer
ence and much study and thought
provide for raising a $100,000 endow
ment fund for the local school. This
will put the Institution on a firm
basis and' will put an end to the per
petual begging expeditions from
to year which have been necessary
in order to provide maintenance ex
penses. The full amount is to, be
raised in installments and no pledge
Is to be binding until the first $25,
000 is subscribed. ,
The pledge which each donator
makes is so worded that he does not
pay the amount pledged until his
death or at any time in the future as
he may designate If that is his desire.
The only present payments he is ex
pected to make is Interest at the rate
of six per cent, payments to be made
in annual, semi-annual or quarterly
Installments, Just as the giver speci
fies. In this way the institution is
saved the trouble of seeking an in
vestment for the money and the man
giving it has the use of it so long as
he lives. ;

it you could see how some factory
made clothing is put together. The
skimping of materials, the ' inferior
interlinlngs. B t none of these things
occur in a suit of our tailoring. That's
why one suit of ours will outlast two
of the factory made. Order one and
