mended awarding the contractu at
the meeting of the council Monday
nlnht. The W. Q. AM red Compauy,
which wan the lowent bidder ou ex
cuvutln, was awarded the
Kradlnn at $'1,1".'."); Chan. JobiiHot) &
Co., a l)allen linn, wan awarded the
contract for pavement and curb ami
Kuttera, their bid lielntf 'iii.I.'C, and
U. I), (iould & Co. 'ot the storm Hew
er contract at $1'!1..'J."j. The work
covera an Improvement of twenty
blockH and In to be commenced with
in fifteeii days after the hIiiIii of
the contractu. The contractors are
allowed four months lu which to
IUiIhIi the work. The J ohunon Com
pany 'h price for the ntreet paving In
$l.'0 per Hiiuare yard, or twenty
cents a yard cheaper than the pave
ment laid lu First Htreet by the Al
dred Company. The specifications
for the work ure the same as those
covering the the First Htreet paving.
The bids were awarded with the
unanimous approval of the Mayor
and council.
It Is stated that It Is not the
Intention of the council to commence
work on the street paving until the
water suit Is settled which Is ex
pected to occur lu the early purt of
August. All arrangements to start
the work, however, will be com
pleted so that there will not be any
delay, the minute negotiations are
concluded.
From the anxiety now shown by
bond buyers to take the f'.Mt.OoO Issue
of water bonds It Is thought there
will be no delay lu selling them and
that It may oe possible to dispose of
t hem without amending the charter
which some of the attorneys for bond
houses have Insisted on. A com
munication from Morris Itros. states
that they have offered to take the
bonds from I'len & Co. to whom they
were awarded, but who have not
yet accepted thetn ulthough the time
has expired. The DesMolues Invest
ment and Security Company has al
so asked to have their bid reconsid
ered. The street committee, which was
empowered to act on changing the
grade at Fourth and Columbia to
meet the requirements of the build
ing to lie erected by ('apt. McCan, re
ported fuvorubly, und the grade will
he changed.
A discussion over the manner of
paying for the proposed storm sewer
In the paved district was brought up
by the request of K. L. Smith for In
formation on this point, the latter
tfcllcvlng that a special sewer district
should be created to defray the ex
pense. Councilman Wright was also
of this opinion. Councilman Farly
said that he believed that as the
whole city would lienetit, the ex
pense should le paid out of the gen
eral fund. The amount necessary,
l,v!l :L"i, he said, was a small one,
with the entire assessed valuation of
the city to pay for It, and the sewer
would practically drain a good part
of the city of surface water. Coun
cilman KolnTtsoii was of the opinion
that the city's finances did not per
mit vt the expense being paid out of
the general fund and that It would
therefore expedite matters to create
n special storm sewer district. Farly
stated that $1,(MH) to $7,(MK) would be
turned Into the general fund when
the water bonds were sold, which
would easily take care of the matter.
Wright smilingly replied that there
was a good tleal to do with this
money and didn't believe It would
hold out. Howe was lu favor of the
general fund plan, while Muggins
rather favored the special district.
The matter was finally held lu abey
ance and will lit decided later. Coun
cilman Ilrostus hail not arrived when
the discussion took place.
The treasurer's report was read
and the recorder ordered to furnish
each councilman will a copy, ltec
oinmeiidatlons were made relative to
automobile speeding and signs warn
ing auto drivers and thes d limit
fixed at l.'i miles per hour out wide the
lire limits.
The ordinance ordering a sewer on
the west end of Columbia street was
passed, and also the one for the
Heights.
Matters relative to the city print
ing were discussed and a motion
passed to divide the same between
both papers. The action had the
unanimous approval of the council.

wheels of both boats were In action,
and It was feared that the man
would be sucked under and drowned.
Ity quick action, however, the hands
on the liatzert managed to fish the
passenger out. He was none the
worst- except for a wetting.

Neither side scored aguln until the

the home plate.
For four Innings there was nothing
doing In the run getting line. In the
last half of the ninth the Midgets

hearts of the Leaguers. Hood

batters steady and the fourth game
of the series was over, making the
contest two and two. Features of
the game were Moore's fielding and

RIVER LATEST RUMOR
The latest rumor Is that the North
Coast survey from North Yakima
will probably come down by way of
Bear Creek and Wind Liver. Horace
Wetherell was Informed by the engi
neer In charge of the survey that the
road would cross the Columbia at
Cascade Locks. The O.-W. It. & N.,
or Harrlman system, Is surveying a
line from North Yakima southwest
around the base of Mt. Adams, anil
their destination Is Portland. The
surveyors are now In the vicinity of
(ilenwood. Those who know the
country say that Carson Is In a di
rect Hue between the end of the sur
vey and Cascade Locks, and that a
better gradecannot le found through
that couutry for a railroad. Carson
