Much interest is being taken in the mass meeting which lias been called for this evening at the court boos From ! r swssss, usual nour an nounced for opening the meeting aayives half-past seven o'clock. Hie capacity of the court room will doubtless have been taxed, for every citisen who is Interested in the city's welfare will make an effort to be there. It has not been announced just what tbe mode of proceedure will be, bnt it is v ry generally understood that a municipal league will be organ ized and that steps will be taken which look to the betterment of this city in any matter which can be improved upon. The question of munic ipal ownership of water and light plants is said to be on tbe program and also the matter of naming a ticket which will be voted upon st the approaching c.ty election. These are only a few of tbe many im portant matters which sre to be pre sented and it should be tbe desire el every citisen to be present and to par ticipate in the discussions which wih take place. Remember the hour and i" you aaot to get anything more thai standing room, be sure that yoa are : the eoarf house lie fore half past seven o'clock. K r: wing that the question of the municipal o nership of the cit) 'e watei and light plants would he an issue of the eampaign, the Plaindealer repre tentative callel upon Meters Kimball and Hoover, the only two aspiran's for mayorality honors, ihu far, for an ex preteion of their ideis regarding tbe im portant matter. He found them both ready to discuss the matter Mr. Kimhall said : "I do not care to make promises, but, I am free to tell yon tha I think that this is a moat important matter and one which we are soon t have to settle. It ia the popular idea and I notice that Eugene, Ashland an others of our neighboring cit e bare al ready decided to own tbeir plan's. I will be in favor of whatever the people want. If elected mayor it will oe mi earnest endeavor to give a good, honest, business-like administration. I will do my best to shot off anything which savors of "graft," and will work for economy and good service. You may say that it it cornea to my rote and the Thiswill leave me free to do what I believe lo be the will of tbe people.' Mayor Hoover was then visited at his . . . ,-, . ... " heartily io favor of tbe city's owning its own water and light plant. I have ad vocated ibis idea all along and I will do all in my power to bring about this very thing, if I am elected mayor of thia city. If socii a thing could be done and the city should have the two contracts for water aod light, it would not be very long until we'd pay off all our indebted ness and be in line coouitioo. Ves, you can say that I am heartily in favor of this matter of the city owning its water , od '-nl PlnU nd a" 1 wil1 80 TOte j and act, if I am elected." .
