Inexcusable. carelessness and unbus iness like methods by the officials of the Oregon Agricultural society put the chautauqua in bad light yesterdy. The officials of that concern prom ised in telegrams and letters to send a man here(.,H. S. Jackson whom lo cal apple men know as an authority on pear blight, that local orchard men might hear some method of cop ing with local conditions. This was advertised, and ' yesterday afternoon when Mr. Jackson was-called to the platform by the chautauqua manager it developed he had not arrived. No word was sent the local people of his failure to come, and the orchardmen who gathered to hear him' were dis appointed.. "The two who did come, H. B. Miller and H. M. Williamson, had no message for the local people and while they, talked for an hour pr more said nothing of importance." The men were brought here at an expense of $50 and because the man who all the orchardmen wanted to hear didn't come, the expenditure has been a flat loss. ' " However, it was no fault of local people but an oversight, careless in the The Gossard Corset Fulfills Your Corset Ideal Whatever your aim in wearing a corset, you can attain it by wearing a.

The Mis sissippi decision gives a ray of hope that the A. A.

' EVENING OBSERVER, y u ; - ... t . . NO RAISE IN PRICE MUST CLOSE OPEN DITCH IRRIGATION DITCH THROUGH CITY A MENACE, This Is Opinion of City Council and Orders Are Issued. ' La Grande irrigation company to car- T water from the river at Oro Dell to the heart of the city where the wat- er enters a awer pipe line, has been ordered through a resolution adopted at the regular first of the month meet- mS last night. ' This order applies of course in the city limits only and not to a considerable distance northwest toward the river The ditch has been running open for several years but Bids for printing in .booK form ot the proposed charter was let to the Observer after the bids of the Observ er and Elgin Recorder had been read. The Elgin paper offered to do the work for $123.50 and the Observer bid was $107. Under protest City Attorney Rusk recommended that the city pay the sum of money awarded J. H. Peare for damages from the sewer pipe line. Costs and main damage fund amounts to nearly $600 but the city attorney is his written opinion complained at this sum of money because "one-third of that sum would have handled the ques tion originally." The recommendations were adopted by the council. Two concrete culverts will be built on Fourth street at H and I streets to handle the flood waters and regular streams. This action' was taken on recommendation of the street commit tee which had had the serious problem under consideration and found that the best solution. The work will be done under forced contract.

The council, has decided to v invest $4,500 from the Beaver Creek pipe line fund in special improvement warrants using only such improvement bonds as exist in districts where all property owners have waived all irregularities This is deemed to be a perfectly safe investment and not only retires inter est but recoupes the special interest fund on the pipe line. The cement ordinance which has been the subject of spirited debate and vetoed by the mayor because in con flict with the contract guarantee with he Warren Construction company, was finally killed when by the narrowest mnrflin the vote was sustained. Coun cilmen Haisten and Davis voted against the veto, but six can do the business. The ordinance required the holes made in paving by house movers' pins to be filled with cement and this it was argued by the mayor on au thority of experts would eventually undermine the subgrade or bulge the paving. It follows that bitumen will be used hereafter. 1H Chautauqua Oddsm Chautauqua Grounds, July 3? (Spe cial) "Let it rain," so say the camp ers at the park and all assert that they are having the time of their lives and are not one bit uncomfort able, and to step into one of the cozy homes and snuggle up beside a warm fire one can easily realize the truth of their statements. - 'I just love to hear the rain beating on the tent at night," said one lady this morning "it seems to kind of put me to sleep." Any way they intend to stay and all wear a smile, as they tell you to cheer up, it will be clear for the 4th. The domestic art class are still deep in the mysteries of dress making.
