COUNCIL MEETING
TUESDAY EVENING
Will Restrict and Li
cense Saloons.
MARSHAL MUST REPAIR WALKS
Jesse Yancey Resigns as Coun
cilman Guy Lafollette
Appointed.
The regular October meeting of
the city council was held Tuesday
night in the city hall. Present
Mayor D. F. Stewart, Councilmen
Lippman, Rosenberg, . Sbipp,
Noble, and S. V. Yancey, Marshal
Joe Kelso and Recorder R. V.
Breeee. Minutes of the September
meeting read and approved.
Councilman Lippman, as chair
man of the license, committee, re
ported that a traveling show troup
bad been in the city five nights
during the past month, and that
the regular license of $5 per night
had-been collected from them after
some difficulty. , .
. Councilman Lippman also sub
mitted the matter of putting a li
cense on the 'near beer joints' and
limiting the number of them. As
chairman of the license committee
be recommended that an ordi
nance be drawn limiting the num
ber and placing an annual license
of $300 on each of the places.
Enlarging on hw remarks, he
said that at the present time there
are seven of these places in the
city, and unless we put some re
striction on the number there will
he no less than twenty-five by May
1, 1911. We have the power as a
council to put any restriction on
there places we want to and the re
strictions will have to limit the
number as well as set an annual
license, for there are lots of these
fellows in Madras and they are all
making money, and they can come
here and build any kind of a place
they want, and go into business
which many of them will do un
less we do something about the
matter soon.
Councilman Rosenberg express
ed himself as being in favor of a
license and said that seven of
these places should be enough for
a town of thia size. About $300
annual license is the amount that
he would favor.
Councilman Shipp said that the
city is paying a marshal and a
nightwatchman, neither of which
would be needed yery badly if it
were not for the existence of these
places and the disorder they create,
and that he would be in favor of
fixing a license at not less than
$500.
Councilman Yancey said that
these places should be compelled
to pay for their support, and that
he would favor a license of $300 or
$400.-
Councilman Noble said that he
would be in favor of a good li
cense on them.
With this discussion the matter
was left to the license committee.
L. C. Morgan was present look
ing alter the matter of a license
for the moving picture house. He
showed that a license had been
granted to Mrs. Crocius for the
purpose of operating this show,
and the license would not expire
until January 31. After consider
able discussion it was moved by
Councilman Shipp that the
amount of the unexpired license
he allowed Morgan & Fetett on
their new license for this show, as
they have bought out the interest
of Mrs. Crocius. This motion
The report of A. W. Yancey, as
nightwatchman, was read and
showed that six arrests had been
made during the month of Septem
ber. -
The report of Joe Kelso, marshal,
showed that he had made three ar
rests during September, and that a
total of $153 had been collected
from road and poll tax and $11.90
water rent had been collected.
The report of Recorder R. V.
Itreeae showed that nine persons
had been brought before him for
trial; that seven of them bad been
lound guilty and fines had been
collected which, after all coats bad
been paid, netted the city $45.
Besides this a total of $25 had
been collected in show license,
making a total of $70 received by
him for the city.
The reports were all accepted
and filed.
A communication was read from
the state engineer stating that he
would he in the city on Monday,
October 17, for the purpose of ad
justing the water rights for Crook
ed r.ver, in which the city has a

committee on Fire and Water were
instructed by the council to be
present at this hearing in the in
terest of this city..
A new ordinance was then pre
sented which enlarged on tbe
duties of the marshal regarding
the repair of sidewalks. In effect
the proposed ordinance reads: "It
shall be the duty of the marshal to
inspect every sidewalk and cross
walk in the city at least once in
every forty-eight hours, and to re
pair and keep in repair all broken
places in said walks, or to notify
all property owners of needed re
pairs oc walks adjoining or abutt
ing their property."
"It shall be lawful for the mar
shal to proceed against all persons
neglecting so to do, by laws so pro
vide. It shall be lawful for the
marshal to accept reasonable pay
for bis own time for repair work
done on sidewalks of property
owners."
"The city council shall not allow

Good Yield of Grain.
George Rodman of Culver har
vested 10,500 bushels of wheat
from 275 acres this year. The
yield was alittle over thirty bushels
to the acre, and at the present
price of grain in Prineville would
average $22.50 an acre..
George Rodman bought a com
bined harvester this spring and
harvested his crop in twenty-two
days. The adoption of this kind
of machinery means an increased
profit for tbe farmer and a step
forward for tbe entire community.
The purchasers of these harvest
ers are: Windom Bros., Ira Patrick,
Moering & Stoler, Neil Millican,
Thomas & Cox, Joe Wiegand and
Wileon Bros. The machines are
a complete harvesting plant.
They are operated by three men
and Bixteen head of horses. They
harvest twenty acres a day grain
all sacked and piled.

COLUMBIA FERRY
AIDS WORK
Oregon Trunk Operates
Temporary Crossing.
ROAD TO BEND NEXT SUMMER
Material Being Ferried Across
Columbia at Mouta of
Deschutes.
Tracklaying has begun by the
Oregon Trunk Line at the north
ern end of its line into central Ore
gon, and with the bope of having
the line in shape for traffic as far
south as Crooked river, 22 mile
south of Madras, by February 1,
says the Journal. Allowing for
delays it is estimated that about
one and a half miles can be put
down daily.
Tbe first construction train of
the new line crossed the Columbia
river from the North Bank connec
tion on the Washington side of the
river to Clark station, a short dis
tance above Celilo. From this
point about a mile of rail has been
laid toward the main line grade.
The train was taken across on
tbe large scow ferry. The scow
ill be kept constantly on the
move from now on, ferrying ma
terial to the Oregon side.
About 125 men will lay track,
while an equal number will follow
them to ballast the road. Grading
of the road has been completed to
a point aout 70 miles south of
Clark station and it will be com
pleted as far as Madras by Decem
ber 1. Grading between Madras
and Bend is abo being done, near
ly 1000 men being in that field.
Delay in constructing the big
steel bridge across Crooked river,
22 miles south of Madras, will
check tracklaying at that point for
some time, possibly till April, but
it will not take long to complete
the road after the bridge is in.
This steel, structure over tbe tur
bulent river will be 350 feet long
and 250 feet above the river bed.
Arrangements have been made
fcr material yards oa tbe south
side of the river in addition to
those at Clark. Rails, ties, bridpe
and other material will be accumu
lated at the south side yards in
quantities, so that in the event the
ferry is put out of commission tern
porarily by unforeseen cause, con
struction work on the railroad need
not stop.
The grade is ready for the ties
and rails for a distance of about 80
mile?, with the exception of seme
of the bridge work, which cannot
be completed until trains reach
those points with the bridge steel.
A delay is expected at a tunnel on
the 12 miles of the road to be used
jointly with the Harriman lines
opposite the Warm Springs Indian
reservation. Commencement of
this tunnel was delayed by the con
troversy between the two roads
over right of way, and as the re
sult of line changes made subse
quently to the joint track agree
ment. Continued on Inside page.
