The car was running at a good clip
when, Perkins asserts, something went
wrong and threw the car from the

quite a distance when the machine

Fruit Evaporator at Dalles.
The Dalles, Ore., Aug. 27. Negotia
tions have been completed for the in
stallation of a modern fruit evaporator;
plant in this city. The plant will have
a capacity of 11,000 pounds of fruit
every 24 hours, and by its operation a
vast amount of fruit will be made
marketable that has heretofore gone
to waste. ; A company has been form
ed "by local prominent fruit growers,
and they plan to have the new enter
prise working within a short time. W.
M. Luther, representing a WaUa Wal
la manufacturing company, will in
stall the new plant. ' This dehydrating
machine uses the vaccurn process. As
vegetables, like corn and potatoes,
may be dried also by the new plant,
it promises to become one of the cliief
industries of The Dalles.

were talking at the same time and at
each other and charges of falsifying
were hurled and counter hurled for
several minutes. "If you have proof,
produce it; if not shut up.1 This was
the advise hurled at Councilman Hais
ten by Councilman Lincoln. Council
man Jones likewise registered resent
ment at the Halaten Charges. Jones
and Lincoln voted to require mainten
ance bonds on Spring street but Vha
motion was voted down. The whole
affair was the most really exciting
set-to of the many exciting events of
this kind that the present council has
enacted. The presiding officer's gavel
worked like a trip hammer; the audi'
ence was in feverish anticipation of a
personal combat and after it was all
over and no noses had been fractur
ed, a sigh of relief went up. The aft
ermath was' a feeling of disgust that
such scenes should be enacted in the
law-making chamber of the city.
Spring Street Re-advertised.
In accordance with the opinion of E.
W. Geiger's legal advice that the pres
ent proceedings on Spring are invalid,
the council took steps to go over the
work again. The bids wilt be called
for on the 10th of September and on
that date remonstrances will also be
heard. There will be no bond re
quired of the contractor other than the
10 per cent for six months. .
Liens to Be Foreclosed.
The foreclosing of liens on property
in improvement districts where in
terest is delinquent, was " ordered if
not paid by September first.
Such payment will recoup the de;
pleted interest fund so that the inter
est coupons coming in on that date
can be met. Otherwise the interest
fund will have to be replenished from
some other source which is deemed on
ly a last resort measure. Official ord
ers to that effect are published else
where in this issue. '
Vacation of the extreme west ends
of B and C streets was granted, but
new water mains in that same terri
tory petitioned for were later refus
ed in view of the small returns that is
in sight to the city.
A petition for a block of concrete
sidewalk on W avenue was denied in
view of the heavy expense entailed.
The water main extension on K ave
nue was granted.
The tool house is at last to be tem
porarily housed on some certain spot
if the committee's report, adopted last
night, Is carried out For months, the
tool house has been a thorn in the side
of the council and a stack of communi
cations offering sites at more or less
nominal sums, was laid on the .table
and the tool house ordered to thC
gravel pit on Eighth street, n :
; The subway ordinance on . North
Second street was passed and it is
now possible for the city and O.-W. to
proceed with construction of that piece
of engineering as soon as the contract
is signed. :
Assessment -ordinances on O ave
nue were passed. ;..- a ;
The assessment ordinance on the
West La Grande sewer district was
passed. . '
The extension of hard surface pav
ing to the property line, in lieu of a
side walk in the wholesale district, on
Jefferson and Greenwood, was denied,
it benig held that the city could, not
change its course without going oyer
the whole proceedings again. v
Mayor Hall submitted a communi
cation to the council dealing with' the
finan 'i.l situation. It says: ,i .:.;'
To the Mimbera of the City Couacil:
I wish to respectfully call yo.ir at
tention ence more to the financial con
dition of the city and the result! ,t uj-J

During the first half of the present
year the financial condition of the
city was Improved to the extent of
about $13,000. By the - continuance
of -the same policy we should be able'
to make as good a showing for the
second half of the year. "
