mint3 with ten miners for the win
ter's work. Mr. Harless came to Ore
gon City Wednesday evening and says
that there is a good deal of snow up
in the mountains. Coming out they
encountered between three and five
feet of snow. The weather was fear
fully cold and at times he thought he
would freeze to death, due to the
strong wind that was blowing through
the passes of the mountains. The
crowd is expecting a hard trip to the
mines. In speaking of the work there
there, Mr. Harless said that the new
bunk house w as a good one and would
be good shelter for the men from the
winter storms. There are now six

office at 327 E Sixth street. Mr. Smith

inspection of service rendered:
In making a report the committee
stated that the members had found
the present system of electric light
and power was very unsatisfactory,
and very expensive for the following
reasons:
The main wires from the power
house to the station are too small.
Secondary wires are also too small.
The current la unsteady, voltage low,
?auing poor light part of the time,
and high voltage, burning out lamps
"lid making renewals expensive.
1 he factories using the power have
in pome cases been greatly handicap
xd and some have been forced to
rse Gtlifr power, with great Injury to
t..-.?.iiselves and city. The cost Is too
reat tuJ the meters very unsatla
f ictory.
We -iif,gest that the city ought to
have an expert to go Into the details

.barge and the right way of correct
ing present system.
The committee to whom was refer

of said matter before the officers of

The Batdorf damage suit against
the city has been brought to notice
since the city attorney, J. U. Campbell
denies every allegation in the amend
ed complaint of Mrs. Batdorf and sets
up a cross complaint, alleging that
the street where the plaintiff received
her' injuries was unimproved and thus
it was not the duty of the city or of
the council men to build or maintain a
sidewalk there.
It is also alleged that the plaintiff
was familiar with the condition of the
street and her accident or injury was
caused entirely by her own careless
ness. Mrs. Batdorf! brought suit
against the city and its councilmen
more than a year ago to recover $5000
