Perhaps the worst feature of the
whole ca;o is that if the Government
dam were favored in this way by the
railroad and detour made, private
power enterprises and irrigation com
panies might insist that further jumps
lie made by the railroad to get over
their dams as well.

cinio another blow when Wade Huston
put in a Lilt for surveying for cross
walks done nnder the old administration,
amounting to $10 more. The bill of E.
S. Price for hauling amounting to $15,
which waa ordered paid at this session
was also an inheritance from the old
administration. All drop of lemon
squeezed on a sore spot.
The following bills were ordered paid :
Estea Short, pistol for marshal 20.00

Marshal Huston had a little joker in
his bill. He added 10 per cent because
he get his pay in city warrant which
are discounted that much for cash.
But the council wouldn't stand hi
work. Councilman Shipp laid city

dollar, but as he ia barred by law from
dealing in warrant, 90 cent is about
all they can be cashed for.

Not Receive Witk Favor.
Additional obstacle to railway con
struction are not likely to be given a
hearty welcome by the Harriman inter
ests. It is pretty well understood al
ready that the heavy cost of the Des
chutes railroad, as riven in the esti
mates of the projected line, cast some
what of a gloom over the Chicago of
fices of the Harriman system. Addi
tional expense and serious operating
difficulties are not likely, it is believed,
to be met with favor at headquarters.
It is estimated that if the reclamation
dam is built it would cost not less than
$000,000 for the railroad to make the

the railroad.

In regard to the refloating of the

committee and tbe recorder were in

up the loan, one plan to be to re-issue
of the bonds after the same manner as

being to issue the bonds in denomina
