COUNCIL If there is a quorum pres
MEETING ent, tonight's council
meeting will probably prove interest
ing for a number of reasons. There
are a number of matters of import
ance to. citizens an-d taxpayers sched
uled to come up for consideration.
There are, for instance, plans for var-
Sious street improvements, which will
Jlje of particular import to property
owners on these thorougalares; anil
taen there are some matters that are
of interest to the city as a whole.
Among these last are the water ques
tion and ths purchase of the Jones
rock-crusher.
The water matter will probably gat
quite an airing, even if the special
pure water comimittee has no rtporf.
to make. Thera has been consider
able agitation during the" past week
or so in favor of Bull Run water; an
application for the purchase of Bull
Run water has been made to the
Portland commissioners; thsre has
been a reviewing of the question of
where and how water was to be pro
cured for the municipal elevator on
Seventh street. Any one of these
things, taken up, is liable to bring
about a general discussion of water
topics in fact such a discussion was
expected at the la3t meeting- of the
city dads, but never got started. Peo
ple in general are interested in the
water matter, they have heard hints
here and there as to tentative plans

for a new supply; and probably this
manifestation of interest on the part
of the public will be sufficient to
bring the matter up for discussion.
Then there is the rock-crusher pur
chase, already approved by commit
tees, and set for tonight for final ac
tion. An ordinance providing for the
purchase of this plant by the city was
scheduled for the last meeting, but
action upon it was postponed upon
the motion of Councilman Tooze, sec
onded by Councilman Hoi man. There
seems to be a fear on the part of
some of the councilmen that the pur
chase of this crusher is going to be
detrimental to the city; yet every otb.
er community in the Northwest ii
making haste to put in municipal
p'ants for the preparation of street
material. Cities are finding it cheap
er to either do their own paving or to
be in a position to do it, for paving
companies and contractors are feeling
the increase in the' cost of living, and
are increasing their bids on suca
work correspondingly.-
Oregon City last year got some ex
ceptionally low bids for rock used in
street work, but there is every indica
tion that it will never see such low
bids again. In fact recent bids have
been higher, though the "rock mar
!:et" has not shown any fluctuations.
Oregon City has in its possession now
a magnificent bank of rock in fact it
has more rock at its service than
many a private concern. This rock
crusher, which it is proposed to buy,
is situated on this city-owned proper
ty. If the city buys it, the city will
have the whole thing, and as it in
tends eventually to put a reservoir on
the site, it can use the crusher in
breaking up material excavated for
the reservoir, and put this material
upon its streets. It seems an ideal
arrangement. And aside from that,
possession of the rock-crusher is a
check on street bids,, for when they
get too high the-city can utilize its
own plant.
The council is scheduled to pass up
on this matter tonight. Taxpayers
who have to pay the city bills are
watching the matter and the action of
tha councilmen with interest. They
have voiced no objection, so far, to
the proposal to appropriate 6,000 for
this purchase in fact the only objec
tion so far made has come from con
cerns who do not want in the future
to be forced into competition with the
city. It will be Interesting to sse
the view the council will take of tt,
and' how much it will plan for in the
line of future economy.
With these things scheduled to
come up, the council meeting prom
ises to be interesting. Probably there
I will be a good attendance of citizens
: Oregon City people seem to take an
i intimate interest in the doings of
their representatives in the municipal
scheme..
LOOKING FOR. Current news states
SOMETHING? that Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, one time leader of a for
lorn hope, is on his way' to the Ariz
ona desert and the Grand Canyon on
a camping expedition. The desert
will be a. nice place for a summer
outing, no doubt, and after that prob
ably the barren depths of the Grand
Canyon will be a pleasant relief.
Truthful travelers say that no self
respecting thermometer will register
the temperature that rules on the
desert in July, when the Colonel 'will
be there; and as for the bottom of
the Grand Canyon well, it is hot
there, too, and infested with biting
things, say reports.
Naturally, then, public curiosity
must be aroused by this quiet little
jaunt of the Colonel. This time he
is taking no retinue with him, no
brass band, .and no moving picture
machines. What can be his object
in thus going away to the most scan
tily populated spots, where only whit
ened bones lying on the shifting sands
mark the trails, and where venomous
things crawl and wiggle and creep
and make weird noises? Can it be
that the great leader wants to seek
seclusion and the abode of silence?
Or is it that he desires to pique pub
lie curiosity and so rouse' a jaded en
thusiasm in the cause? Or is it that
the Progressive Doctrine has escaped
somewhere, and having looked in
the abodes of men for it fruitlessly,
the Colonel is now going to seek it
in the waste places and in the wild
erness? 7
