WATER COMMITTEE MAKES
REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
i SOURCE AS
Committee Holds Options
- on Three Places-Awaiting
Blakeley's Report
The special water committee of the
city council Friday evening were
"smoked out,' and induced to take
the "dear people," to use a phruso
expressed by Councilman .Merrick, into
their confidence. The dissemination of
knowledge followed a wordy controver
sy between Councilmen llafer and Mer
rick. " The finance committee reported n
disagreement over the bond ordinances
requested by John Nuveen & Co. Chair
man Trowbridge stated that he did not
agree with the other members of the
committee and thought that to ask tin
water committe for a report as to what
had been done was equivalent to voting
lack of confidence.
Hafer Wants Information.
Mr. I Infer stated that the council
had never been taken into its confi
dence by the water committee and that
lie thought both the council and the
people of A red ford were entitled to a
report from the water committee, ami
whined to go on record as standing for
publicity on the water question. Ho
thought the council had acted blindly
long enough in following the demands
of the water committee, when no in
formation as to it h acts or intentions
had been given, and he would not vote
favorably upon their requests until a
report was forthcoming.
Merrick Makes Reply.
Mr. Merrick, chairman of the water
committee, stated that lie thought the
demand for publicity came chiefly from
The Tribune and not from the taxpay
ers, and he pointedly said that a great
number of people were constantly run
ning into print in order to gain cheap
notoriety. He said that he h;id never
refused information to a councilman.
Mr. Hafer replied at some lengt li,
taking as a personal charge the accusa
tion of "running into print for cheap
notoriety," aud concluded by dcninnd
ing the information which Mr. Merrick
professed to be so ready to give.
Mayor Roddy told of the public's in
terest in the water problem and of the
number of people who called upon him
daily and wanted to know what was
being done. He slated Hint he person
ally knew the committee had not yet
determined upon a source of supply, hut
thought the public was entitled to the
information at the hands of the com
mittee, and suggested a report as the
way to keep peace in Ihe city's offi
cial family.
Where the Committee Stands.
Mr. Merrick i olio wed with a verbal
report! According to him, tho committee
has options at the present time on the
Slinger ranch, on .ti'O inches of water
from the Fish Lake Dilch company ami
on Wnsson canyon.
The committee has not as yet turned
down the proposition of Fred J. Blake
ley, by which he proposes to obtain
water from the Applegate country. Mr.
Merrick states that the commit fee is
still awaiting a report from either .T.'D.
Heard or Mr. Htakeley. and that they
would have n hearing whenever they
were ready to meet agaiti with the com
mittce.
The engineer is in the field at the
present time making a survey for a
pieliue from Little Hut to creek t hat
will so lower the cost of construction
as to bring it within the amount of
money at the disposal of the commit
tee.
Ordinances Adopted.
W. I. Vawter poured a little oil upon
tho troubled waters by explaining the
necessity of passing the ordinance and
acceding to the demands of John Xu
veen & Co. if the bonds are to be sold.
He urged the burying of personalities
and the pulling together for the com
Dion good. He described the necessity
for wnter, praised the committee fnr
its efforts and suceeeeding in restoring
peace.
The three ordinances forward ( d by
John N'uveen & Company came up for
consideration. It had been the impres
sion of some of the counciln that
tftVro ordinances would tie the council
tip to one proposition. After it was
explained that such was not the cae.
VET CHOSEN
they were unanimous adopted.
GORE I
CAR OF PEARS
Second Car of the Season
Goes Forward Today
Has Splendid Crop
John Core shipped the second car load
of this season's pear crop todav and
will follow with a number of other
cars next week, having commenced gath
ering the fruit Friday morning. The
liurrclt orchard shipped the first car
of the season on last Tuesday.
Mr. Core has a larger and better
crop this year than he has ever had
before, due primarily to the fact that
lie smudged his orchard this season. He
hail a large number of old fence rails
available and more as an experiment
than anything else he made preparation
for a cold snap and when one visited
i he valley he was aide, by actual test,
lo raise the temperature in his orchard
i degrees.
A large number of ranchers are pre
paring to smudge next year, as this can
be done with comparatively little ef
fort, as cold snaps are rare and not
heavy when 'hey come.
As the prices obtained for pears are
always satisfactory in vitw of of the
fact that the supply is limited, Mr.
Core will probably do belter than he
lid last year, when from his seven and
one half acres tie realized . 10,21)0, or
l."tw an acre.
Two years ago Mr. Core was ef the
opinion that his crop was a failure, but
he succeeded in realizing nearly $1000
an acre from his orchard.
The prices that will be paid for pears
I his season will probably be Ir.wer than
last year, in view of the fact that
California reports a hotter crop than
for some years past. Tho difference,
however, will not be great, as manv or
chards in other sections of the United
States have been entirely destroyed by
the blight.
.Next week the work of gathering the
fruit and making it ready for shipment
will become general throughout the val

that as som as these ordinances were
passed that they would forward $fi."i.

The matter regarding the projection
of t he property of John M. Hoot on
Seventh st reel and Riverside avenue,
which causes a jog of 2(1 feet into the
street, was referreil to the city engineer
after a committee, composed of Coun
eilmen llafer and Olwell, had confer
red with Mr. Hoot and it was learned
that he would not offer any proposition
to the city except to sell them the prop
ertv for 2."iO a front foot or a consider
aiton an nting to about In.noO. The
cit v engineer will act n he sees fit
in the matter.
Minor Matters.
The resolution calling for an election
to vote l.VIHMt bonds for Ihe purchase
and erection of a garbage incinerator
was laid n the table.
The pints of FainiiiS and Lewis ad
JitioDS were accepted.
ANOTHER WATER
PROPOSITION
Flow Interferes With Lay
Ing of Sewer Mains
More Water Today
There is no scarcity of water where
the ditcher is at work in the south
western portion of the city. A pump
is kept constantly at work keeping the
water out of the trench so that the
sewer main, which is being installed in
that section, may be laid. As it iB con
siderable difficulty is being experi
enced in carrying on the work, and
alt on account of the water.
It is impossible in that part of the
city to sink a well to a greater depth
than 12 feet on account of the water
rising ho rapidly, as soon as the gravel
underlying the clay is encountered.
New Proposition.
H. 1. Little, who has had a great
deal of experience in well digging
throughout the valley is of the opinion
t hat a trench cuuldt be dug lii feet
deep by the ditcher across the old Wag
ner creek channel for a distance of .loo
feet, the trench roofed over and a pump
put in that all the water needed by the
city could be obtained there. He states
that he has no land to sell, no water
rights to unload, that he makes Ihe sug
gest ion solely for t he benefit of the
city.
if ihe water from the Fish Lake
ditch supplemented by the little in Hear
creek does not prove enough to protect
the city, t his proposition may be en
quired into by the water committee. Cer
tain it is the contractors are having
trouble in laying a sewer main six feet
deep on account of wnter, and this be
fore the water gravel is encountered.
Water From Fish Lake Ditch.
This afternoon the pump which has
been installed to pump water into the
city from Hie Fish hake ditch -H'lHl feet
north of the end of the A street main,
will be put in operation and water will
be pumped continually into the well at
the present pumping station and from
there lifted into the tank and distribut
ing system of the city.
The water is not to bo pumped into
the mains of the water system direct.
I as Ihe pressure is too great for the
pump lo make any progress against.
With the supply from Hear creek and
from the Fish Lake ditch a certain
amount of water can be kept, on hand
to protect the city in case of fire.

No less than 50 injured, mure or
less seriously, during the night's riot
ing. A volley from the guns of soldiers
mowing down five members of the mob,
most of whom will die, and slightly
wounding many others, put an end to
the riots here nt ! o'clock this morn
ing, alter two persons had been killed
by bullets and one negro hanged, in
addition to the destruction of 3o busi-
ness places conducted by negroes.
rhu city is quiet today after a night
of horror, ami soldiers are patrolling
t he si reets to prevent nny new out
break. All saloons are closod and the
authorities are using every precaution
to prevent trouble,
The section of the city occupied by
negroes looks as if it hnd been swept
by a cyclone or wrecked by explosions.
The restaurant of Harry Richardson, a
negro whom the mob wanted for an
attack upon Mrs. Far) Hullain, in n
complete wreck and the twisted frame
of his motor car lies in the street in
the ashes of restaurant fixtures and fur
niture. Militia Arrives.
The mil it in from Peoria, Pel. in and
Decatur arrived here at 2:It0 o'clock in
a special train. The riots were then at
their height, following the shooting of
James Hayes, white, nil onlooker, by
t harlcH Hunter, a negro hotel porter.
The mob, already wild with the hours
of excitement, seized Hunter nnd quick
ly overpowered him. lie was dragged
Irom a buidliug where he tried to hide
ami, amid the hoots ami yells of the
mad mob, a rope was fastened about his
neck ami he was dragged to a nearby
tree and there hanged, several shots be
ing fired into his suspended body,
The soldiers with fixed bayonets
charged through the main street from
I he railroad station and succeeded in
routing thecrowdu in the business sec
tion. Houses Burned.
In t he meantime the work of des
truetion was going on in the negro sec
tion, where houses were being burned
ami negroes put lu flight.
Tie' poorer pari of the negro section
hnd been practically wiped out when
the soldiers arrive,! ud tho crowds
were then moving on the homes of the
more respectable blacks.
The troops drew up in front of the
mob and ordered a halt. At first the
riolers paid no attention and continued
to ndwmce, not believing the 'tin sol
dicrs.'' as they called the militiamen,
would shoot. Then came a sterner com
mand from the militia. Still the mob

Warned Mob First.
Suddenly there was a crash of mus

Thru ..tine a seconod volley, also fired
in I lie air. The mob advanced once
more.
' Di-ipei-M. or you will be shot down,"
came t he order from t he t.iilitiameu.
This aain was greted wilh hoots and
