at Monday night' meeting of the coun

Flacher typewriter. The Aatorlan cor
rectly reported the matter yeaterday,
although It neglected to aay that the
atatemente of Auditor Anderaon and
Councilman Nordatrom created much
merriment. The proposal to purchaa
the typewriter came from the city offi

Clerk Clinton atated yeaterday that
the county had no Idea of getting rid
of the machine, which ' baa recently

received only partial confederation.
The matter of a dumping ground waa
dlacuaaed, and , the committee on
public property will report upon It at
the next meeting. However, the mat
ter of the violation of the anti-expectoration
ordinance waa passed up
without comment. Mayor Suprenant
atd yeaterday that the law ought to
be enforced, but he expressed the opin

mayor ha only advisory control over

executive of the city. "The club's

at the next meeting of the association,
which will be on the evening of Janu

last evening, the members talked In a
general way about the ne'eda of the
county and city. It waa practically
decided that the new road committee

the latter course will pay In the long
run. The subject of a new hotel for
the city also engaged the attention of
the club for a time, but no definite
course was shaped. It was apparent
from what was ' ald, however, that
the need of an up-to-date hotel la ap
preciated by the club, and that some
thing effective will be done along this
line in the near future is certain.
