The Smith Construction company
was given the contract for construc
tion of a five-foot culvert on Second
street between Grandy and Palmer
avenues. '
The petition of wholesale district
property owners to have a cement

grade to facilitate loading of wagons
has been granted.

Time Warrants Bonds Sold.
A premium of $11 par, and accrued
interest were realized on the sale of
$50,000 time warrant bonds last even
ing. The Dextcr-Horton people of
Seattle offered a $11 permium but
wanted $2500 legal investigation
bonus, while the Central Savings &
Trust company of Denver offered the
premium noted above and that firm
got the bonds. This money will be
used to enhance the general , fund
warrants and put the city on a cash
basis as soon as possible.
Property owners on Y petitioned
last evening for, a two-inch water
main from Spruce to the city limits.
It was referred to committee.
W. C. Hanson is protesting against
the re-assessment of property in
East La Grande to 1 rectify alleged
errors in the originul main trunkline
sewer assessments. His protest al
leges $592 against his property, some
of which' he elleges is without the

a deed to the lot now halting travel
on East Jefferson and it seems that
the street is to be finally opened as
the property owner is willing, but
may object to have O street cut in
at an angle, leaving her property in
two triangle pieces at opposite sides
of the street. This may be remedied
however and both Jefferson and East
O connected and opened.
JUNIUS FERRIN HURT.
Lad, Who a Year Ago Was Seriously
Injured, is Hurt Again. .
Bicycles carry a particular hoodoo
for little Junius Ferrin, son of Mr.
and Mrs. C. P. Ferrin. Last evening
the youngster was hurrying to the
depot to mail a letter and when dodg
ing through the crowds at Depot and
Adams, collided with a bicycle ridden
by Roy Logue and was knocked sense
less. His scalp was cut and one
shoulder bady bruised, but he recover
ed from his coma state in 10 or 15
minutes after being removed to the
Silverthorn drug store. His mother
and father were also down town and
got to the scene soon after the acci
dent. A year or so ago he was
knocked senseless, to remain so for
foru days, in a bicycle accident.
CHIEF EXPLAINS
Council Hears Facts and Figures
. About Last Fire Here.
Fire Chief Benham was called be
fore the council last evening to set
aright reports concerning the cause
behind the alleged failure of the
chemical engine to work properly at
the fire which destroyed the La
Grande Business College equipment
recently. President Campbell ex
plained that the council was not cen
suring the department but wanted the
facts in the matter. In the chief's
opinion the 22 seconds required to get
chemicals through the hose seemed
several minutes to the men handling
it and to Mr. Taylor the school owner.
The report that 15 minutes elapsed
before water was put on was sternly
refuted, tho records showing that the
department was back in tho station
20 minutes atfer it had been called
out, and he pointed out that Mr. Tay
lor in his excitement retarded the
work by locking the firemen out of
the room where the fire was located.
The opinion of the council wns that
the department was not to blame and
that the time needed to get water and
chemicals on the fire was overesti
mated under the heat of excitement.

And no wthat Parisian Sage, the
remedy that kills the dandruff germ
is sold in every town in America, the
clean people of this country ' have
awakened to the fact that dandruff
is unnecessary; that falling hair and
itching scalp can be quickly stopped,
and thut people who use Parisian
Sage will never grow bald.
To ever reader of the Observer who
wishes to eradicate disgusting dand-
ruff, stop falling hair, and have an
immaculately clean scalp, free from
itchiness, we make this offer:
Parisian Sage is sold by druggists
everywhere, for 50 cents for a large
bottle. It is an ideal daintily per
fumed hair dressing, free from
grease and stickiness, and, will cause
the hair to grow lustrous and luxur-

Municipal Light in Baker.
Baker, May 7. By the action of
the city commissioners at their ses
sion yesterday, it was definitely de
cided that the city will install its own
lighting plant and system. By their
votes the people of Baker decided
some time ago that it was their wish
that such a plant should be owned
and operated by the municipality, but
the defeat of the water bond, where
by it was tnteded to enlarge and ex-
lend the water system, left the com
miss.onery in a quandry as to what

and daughter, Mrs. Grace Foye.
Crowds of People Arrive Early.
Long before the noon hour hund
