A woman cannot work overtime In a furnace-llte kitchen, with a wood range In hot weather without paying the penalty. The drudgery, the long hours, the extreme heat, the smoke and ashes, will cut down her energy and matae her prematurely old. In face and form. ,. '' .'' , ' ... .. . This Is a fact that cannot be disputed and all of us can call to mind ' many examples.

With Councllmen Mackey and Church absent, the council met last night for its first of the month ses sion and was busyt up to the midnight hour. With liberal spurts of oratory and He votes the evening presented a varied program, but for all that, the body wadfed through an Immense amount of routine1 matter. '''. Residents on Adams avenue between First and Oak, streets want cement walks on both sides of the street and their petition for this was read and referred last evening. To change the nam of Twelfth street to Caylor street is the purpose of many of the residents on that stree t. They petitioned the council last evening for such action and their ni-vr were referred to the street committee. T,", ' '''."". ' '- Suit Is Threatened. ; J. H. Peare served notice on the council that he would institute pro ceedings to recover $1,000 damages said to. have been sustained because his properiy was Inaccessible during the present summer in .East addition because the city sewer so obstructs a i strip of land connecting the land with 1 Adams avenue, that a man cannot cross It. In his communication to the council Mr. Peare pointed out how the city could remedy thig obstruction but in th8 event that It . was not changed as , requested, proceedings would be commenced. The ; matt r was, referred to the clly attorney. Four residents along Lake street want permission to run an 18-incl plp across the road in such a way that it will carry water to their res spectlve properties and yet be no det riment to the street , They agree to keep the streets clean and offer to have their contracts rejected if they do not do so. The petition was referred.""-''"''' '""'" ", Sidewalks Discussed. s August 16th th date t't for har-! ing remonstrances on Fir and North Fir streets. Second and H. street committees were given more time to report. Attorney Turner Oliver pre sented the council with a suggestion that the grading on the Fourth street hill be done at one time and not re quire the property owners to make th deep fills thre and then later hava the entire hill graded. In some places the wooden sidewalk Is far above the surface of the ground and must be brought down to proper grade before the cement walks are built. It was the opinion of the council that' Mr. Oliver's suggestions be adhered to and j also that Mrs. Anson's and similarly located walks be not Included in the proposed improvements. Mr. Anson's walks are in fine repair and almost exactly on grade, but will be torn out next year. 1 ' , ' ' ' , . Kxl ordinance defining more clearly what constitutes a nuisance, and aim ed at careless property owners who piple- various odds and ends in their alley, was read and passed with an emergency clause. , ' Allow Water for Contractors. About one cent per lineal foot frontage is the amount the city will allow property owners who supply water for construction of the cement wakfl In front of their property. The report of J. L. Jones, special sewer Inspector was read and shows that he has kept close tab and has found occasional Joints of sewer pipe that had to be rejected. There had been 105 Buch rejections when the re port was made out. 'Bids were re ceived for the construction of cement walks and curbing in Connerdale. The two bids presented were by C. T. Dar ley whose bid amounted to about $9, 613.13 while the Smith Construction company" wa8 represented by a bid of about the same nature. The bids were referred. "-' The construction , of board side walks on S avenue were also bid in, L. P. Oesterllng offering , to do the work for 29 cents per Hnal foot. John L. Mars offered to build his own walk for $1 per lineal foot, using cement Instead of board walks. 1 hit ino LINE EXTENDED SOUTH END OF UJ1ATILLA COU.V TY SEEKS RAILROAD.
