COUNCIL ROW ENDS
Ifl MEIER PURCHASE
Mayor Casts Deciding Vote
After Mr. Daly and Mr.
Baker Clash Over Politics.
ACT EFFECTIVE IN 30 DAYS
Charges riung Freely When Method
or Handling Water Bureau Is
rut on Grill Visit to Iiull
Itun Head works Causes Fuss.
Pity Commissioner Daly by innuendo
accused Commissioner Baker at yes
terday's Council meeting of playing
fcmall politics in connection with his
opposition to the purchase and installa
tion of water meters.
Commissioner Baker came right back
and accused Mr. Daly of being the
fiddler in the small- politics game and
went on to explain why, without par-ing-
words.
Mayor Albee after mounting- the
fence with the apparent intention of
blocking- the Daly meter plan, jumped
10 the Daly side and voted for pur
chase of meters 86O of them. Com
missioners Baker and Blgelow voted
no and Mayor Albee and Commissioners
i'aly and Dieck, yes.
Measure Effective in 30 Days.
The measure will gro into effect in
3t days and bids cannot be advertised
for until that period has elapsed,
originally the measure carried an
emergency clause which required an
unanimous vote to make It effective
at once. Two weeks ago Mr. Baker
held up the ordinance by voting against
it and it went its regular course.
The session yesterday was the first
mud-slinging engagement Indulged in
by the Council for some time. It has
been brewing ever since Commissioner
Daly came in two weeks ago with a
rush order for 600 meters and . asked
for immediate purchase. Mr. Baker
said nix and the purchase had by law
to bo put over for two weeks.
The two weeks ended yesterday and
the measure for the meters came up
in regular order. Council Clerk Grutze
began to call the roll. Commissioner
Baker, who heads the roll, said "No";
Commissioner Bigelow, who was sec
ond, said "No"; Commissioner Dieck
Kald "Yes," Mr. Daly said "Yes" and
Mayor Albee, who therefore had the de
ciding vote, said "Wait."
Mayor Brings Up Issue.
"I'm not ready to vote for these
meters now," said the Mayor. "The
purpose of buying meters is to give
jieople who want -meters the privilege
of the meter rate If they desire it
How about giving meter users the
benefit ot flat rates if they want them?
If a person wants his meter taken out
nnd tlie flat rate restored to him is he
not entitled to it?"
"There has been some of the smallest
politics played in this meter proposi
tion that I have ever seen," snapped
Mr. Daly.
Baker saw that the blow was aimed
at him and he retorted, "I believe that
is so. I've seen more small politics
played in this than in anything I've
ever seen."
"I will say in answer to the Mayor,"
said Mr. Daly, "that the person having
a meter is entitled to have it removed
if he wishes unless the meter has been
put on as a police -measure to check
waste. Installation of meters is a cold
blooded business proposition and
nothing else."
Vote by People Recalled.
"Are we going to overrule the people
in the proposition? Didn't they say at
the last election don't buy f.000 meters?"
"Yes." replied Mr. Daly, "after a
'iciotis, lying campaign conducted by
The Oregonlan."
"And three other papers were behind
your campaign." said Mr. Baker.
"I would suggest," said Mr. Daly
turning to Mayor Albee, "that you
turn the Water Bureau over to Mr.
Uaker to please Mr. Baker and The
Oregon ia-"
"I am not looking for any additional
work," retorted Mr. Baker, "but I am
willing to take It and will guarantee
it will be run on a sensible basis."
Visit to Headworkn Recalled.
"The Council understands conditions,"
Fald Mr. Daly. "You all went to the
t'.endworks last Summer and saw the
entire flow of Bull Run River going
into the pipe lines."
"That didn't mean anything," de
clared Mr. Baker. "You forgot to men
tion that the water going into the
I'ipe lines, and apparently all being
required to keep the city supplied, was
in fact going into the reservoirs which
you had drained in advance to make
room for all the water you turned
into the pipe lines."
"I am not admitting that that was
a fact," said Mr. Daly. "But saying
for the sake of argument that it was,
it showed that the full Bull Run River
could be put into the pipe lines."
Mhj-oj- Finally Votes "Yes."
"That doesn't mean anything." re
torted Mr. Baker. "And referring back
to that statement about small politics.
Wouldn't it be a fine game of politics
for me, if I were playing politics, to
-;'POse three newspapers that backed
; our meter campaign and take a chance
of getting the support of one news
paper that opposed your meter cam
paign? Three papers against me and
one for me. That would be fine poli
tics." At this point Mayor Albee had made
up his mind and voted "Yes" and the
ordinance was passed and the meters
will be purchased. Commissioner Bige
low voted against the meters because
of the people at the last election
'having opposed meters.
Eadleman, formerly Supervisor of the
Oak Grove road district, was totally
destroyed by fire yesterday with a loss
of $1000. Mr. Eadleman was in a near
by field planting potatoes at the time
and the other members of the family
were away from home.

NEW RAILROAD PROPOSED
Li Tie Between Baker and Pino and
Eagle Valleys May Be Built.
BAKER, Or., April B. (Special.)
Possibility of building a railroad be
tween Baker and Pine and Eagle Val
leys, 45 and' 70 miles from here, was re
newed today when it became known
that Alexander Allerdyce. representing
Spokane and Lewiston, Idaho, capital,
is to come here next week to look over
the field. A letter received by Judge
William Smith said Mr. Allerdyce will
make a special investigation as to the
returns that might be expected from
su ch a railroad.
According to the present plan, the
first part of the road will be ctnstruct
ed to Sparta, 40 miles from here, where
there is a large timber and mining dis
trict. Pine and.- Eagle Valleys and
Homesteady will be later extensions.
It Is planned to use electricity. It is
estimated the road to fcSparta will cost
$400,000. To meet thi3 expense, a stock
subscription in Baker of $100,000 is
proposed and with funds obtained else
where the first 17 miles will be built.
The rest of the road will be constructed
with bonds secured by the portion al
ready built.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
for Washing Hair
If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is
very harmful. Just plain mulsifled co
coanut oil (which is pure and entirely
greaseless). is much better than the
most expensive soap or anything else
you can use for shampooing, as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out eafily. and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky. bright, fluffy ,and easy to
. jiianaK1.
You ran get mulsifled cocoanut oil at
most any drugstore. It is very cheap,
and a few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for months.

LA GRANDE. Or., April 5. (Special.)
John Glrdler has been - re-elected
superintendent of city schools. This
will be his fourth year, and general
satisfaction is expressed at his re-elec
tion. 'Harmony and progress." says
the School Board, "have ever been the
rule during the Girdler regime."
H. VV. Stone, Y. M. C. A., Asked
to Go to New York.
SALARY ADVANCE LARGE
Portland Board Unanimously Urges
Secretary to Decline lo Become
Executive Head of Educational
Work In Xortlj America.
H. W. Stone, general secretary of
the Toung Men's Christian Association,
yesterday reported to the board of
directors that he had received an offer
to become executive head of the 1". M.
C. A. educational work in North Amer
ica, with headquarters in New Y'ork,
at a salary said to be several thou
sands in advance of that received here.
The offer was made when Mr. Stone
was on his trip to the East recently
and since that time he has been con
stantly urged by prominent business
men and associated leaders, including
John R. Mott, to accept. He is with
holding his decision.
The Portland board unanimously
urged Mr. Stone to remain in charge
of the work here, pointing out that he
had built the institution up to one of
the foremost in the country in the 20
years hat he had been in charge and
that it would mean disaster were he to
leave the work now that his plans
are beginning to be realized.
Mr. Stone has not yet determined on
his course. The Y. M. C. A. schools of
North America, now have 110,000 stu
dents over whom Mr. Btone would have
direct supervision. He would be called
on to direct the execution of plans that
he suggested to educational leaders at
the New York conference when an ex
tension of work hitherto una.ttempted
was decided on. Standardization of
the schools to make the city Institu
tions universities in themselves, the
issuing of association textbooks and
the establshment of community centers
and educational work in all of the
rural districts of the United States
would be some of the problems that he
would undertake to solve.
"It is a great field that has been
opened to me," said Mr. Stone yester
day, "but Portland also is a great field.
We are nearly through a critical pe
riod and a great future is in store for
the association I have dreams for a
10 story building to -be added to the
Portland association, a great movie
theater for educational work, an indus
trial association for the North End,
utilization of churches and schools as
community centers in short, the real
occupation of the field that is here.
Wo also have plans to establish citi
zenships schools among foreigners and
to take steps to develop the community
life in the rural sections of the state.
"When I was in the East John R.
Mott, who declined the post of Minister
to China to continue the work, in the
student and foreign fields, was urgent
particularly that I should accept. He
pointed out that the presidency of Vale,
Harvard or Princeton would be insig
nificant in its opportunities in com
parison with the place that has been
offered. I would have charge of the
biggest university and school system
in the world."
