CHARTER WINS
IN NORTH BEND
Carries Election Saturday By
152 to 40 Talk
Waterworks.
By a vote of 152 to 40, the elect
ors of North Bend Saturday adopted
a new charter for that municipality.
Tho new charter will becomo effect
ive as soon as the North Bend city
council canvasses and certifies tho
results of tho election. Tho council
will meet Tuesday evening to do
this.
The election Saturday passed off
very quietly. The bulk of the vote
was cast In the afternoon, only
about GO being cast up to 1 o'clock.
Thero was no united opposition to
the new charter which is modeled
closely after tho Portland charter,
only such changes being made In
the Rose City document as were es
sential to mako It suitable to tho
smaller town. Captain A. M. Simp
son, who at first came out against
the new charter withdrew most of
his objections towards tho last, his
principal opposition being based on
a point that had been settled some
time ago that is tho annexation of
the old town.
The principal feature of the now
charter Is tho Increasing of the maxi
mum Indebtedness that tho city may
Incur. Under it, tho city may issue
bonds up to twenty per cent of the
assessed valuation and Issuo war
rants to the amount of $20,000.
Plan Water System.
Special provision is made to en
able the city to install its own water
works system and it was stated to
day that this will bo taken up at
onco. It was stated that just as
soon as the new charter becomes ef
fective, some of the business men and
members of tho North Bend city
council propose to arrange for the
flotation of a bond issue to meet the
expense of putting in the now water
works system. There has boon con
siderable agitation In the past In
North Bend for a waterworks sys
tem of Its own, but It has not ma
terialized in any action because of
tho inability to raise the funds. Tho
change In the charter removes this
barrier, it is said. Tho advocates of
the new waterworks system are un
decided yet whether to go ahead
with a municipal system or to awnrd
a franchise to another corporation.
The Marshfield Water Company now
has pipes In North Bond but some
appear to bo dissatisfied with tho
service given.

VISION TOLD
Twin, Though Miles Away,
Knew of Death at Moment
Quicksand Engulfed Him.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 21. While her
twin brother Fred was being drawn
to death in tho quicksands of Long
Lake, near Mitchell, 111., recently,
Merle Huber, seventeen years old,
who was twelve miles away, In Gra
nite City, at homo alone, shrieked
and fell to tho front porch in a faint.
Neighbors ran to her assistance and
revived her.
"Fred is dying. I can hear him
calling to me. Ho is drowning. Let
me go to him," moaned tho girl.
Merlo made frantic offorts to
leave tho house, but was hold back
by friends, who assured her that
Fred was all right. Tho girl could
not bo quieted.
Five mlnutesilater a message camo
from Mitchell that Fred had been
drowned. When tho news reached
his sister she again fainted and Is
In a critical condition.
Tho Huber boy, who was a student
at tho Granite City High School, was
spending his vacation with friends
on a farm. Accompanied by two of
tho farm hands, Honry Stovall and
Jesse Collins, ho wont to Long Lake
to swim. The men decided tho wntor
was too cold, but Huber swam out
sovoral yards and then started to re
turn. Ho throw' up his hands and
fell back.
Stovall and Collins Jumped In to
save him and when thoy reached
tho boy ho wns still alive, struggling
to free his foot, which had becomo
Imbedded in tho sands which aro
several feet deep all along tho shore
of tho lake.
Tho farmhands stayed only a' few
seconds with Huber. loaded down
with their clothes and shoes, tho
qungmiro was already pulling them
down, and It was only with an effort
that thoy were able to tear thorn
solves freo and got to tho shore,
An hour lator a ropo was tied
about the boy's body and it was
dragged out of tho sands. It requir
ed five men to oxtrlcato It.
A comparison of tlmo showed that
tho girl had fallou into the faint at
tho moment when tho boy became
ontangled In the quicksand.
