. 4 VANCOUVER. Wash., June 19. Three
member of the City Board of Aldermen
re threatened with Impeachment pro
ceedings and are charged With violat
ing the state law that provides that no
city official shall Hell, or cause to be
. void to the city, any supplies whatso
ver.
i ' The aldermen -mar have only been fol
..lowing an old custom; they may have
-recognised only the fact that the city
vu customer., and may have given
good measWe and full value, but the
hand of the law Is about to descend,
- however Innocent their Intentions, . and
..before more than a few days pass a
: writ of ouster, will be filed In the Supe
rror Court agralnst J. A. Webber, George
.. Crawford and John. Huston...
The light is being made by one, or at
' most, . two dtiiens, who allege- that
the board members have discriminated
against them to their detriment and
that they will call into account these
. members for their Illegal selling of sup-
piles to the city. Henry Van Atta is
the chief complainant and has placed the
entire matter In the hands of Portland
lawyers. When seen yesterday Mr.- Van
Atta said: .
"WOX, Expel Three Men.
"Yes. I am going to . start a suit to
expel three men from the City Board
of Aldermen, and later I am going to
. charge them with a criminal actlen as
the statutes provide. Why do I . do
.this? Well, partly because I think no
city official should try and get patron
age out of his place, of office, and also
-because these same eouncttmen have
posed as believers in publio morality
to such an extent that they shut off all
saloon license applicants, when I had
Invested hundreds of dollars in refitting
and stocking a new aaloon, understand
ing that I would be allowed a license.
When -Oiejr"C0V"nie" out through the
petty-spite Of four' membefs of the board
oij the pica' of civic righteousness, when
up to a few weeks ago these same men i
collected ft' secret fee ' front cutthroat
gamblers skinning victims here In hid
den places." then I decided to act.
. "until my application for a license
came np we never 'heard of the- theory
that there were, too many saloons here
and though I know that some aldermen
boasted that I would never get a license,
I did not think the board would listen
to their spite. Any man In Vancouver
knows that I am responsible, that I
have always conducted every enterprise
in a decent manner, and even the board
does not dare to Intimate that 1 would
not conduct a straight place."
Another Cause,
Mr. Vim Atta also gave a bit of In
side history regarding the fight the pro
prietor of his restaurant, Mr. Owen Mul
llgun, nnd b certain brewery had carried
on which was, he alleged, also back of
the board's riTucnl to iillow hlm.a II
crnwe.
. Said Mr. Van Atta: "Mr. Mulllga
had erosMed swords with the brewery
over im old dispute, nnd whe'n 1 started
to stork my SHloon ho placed me unde
a bond of $1,000 not to sell a certain
brand of beer. The brewery learned
tills and 1 understand gave some of thel
subjects on the board to understand
that my license must be turned down. 1
have proof enough against all three men
nnd may later ask the impeachment of
another member, livery one of the three
has from the time lie went Into office
handled city contracts, and from what
others have told me I believe they hav
not undersold the prevailing prices
any marked extent."
Mr. Webber Is a blacksmith. Mr. Craw
ford a grocer and Mr. Huston a lumber
dealer. The three men have so fa
only heard rumors of Mr. Van Atta
contemplated action, and prefer to wait
until the cases against them are tiled
before making complete statements.

(Journal Special Service.)
ASTORIA. Or... June 19. The regatta
committee Is up against a pretty hard
proposition, and Chairman Brown is
wondering what the end will be. Music
Is always the principal feature of the
carnival, for the great crowds must be
constantly entertained. Accordingly, it
was arranged to engage the local band
and also to enlist the services of the
Nineteenth Infantry Band. The Astoria
band Is first-class In every respect, but
It was deemed advisable to engage two
bands.
When the local Musicians' Union
learned of the determination of .the com
mittee. Secretary West was notified that
the Astoria band would be unable to All
its contract if the Nineteenth Infantry
Band were engaged. It was explained
that the Musicians' Unions all over the
country had long since decreed against
Army and Navy bands, and that no
Union organisation would be allowed to
officiate In co-operation with a band
representing the Army or Navy.
This ultimatum has come as a serious
setback to the regatta committee, which
had been congratulating Itself on the
success of its efforts to secure the very
best music obtainable. , As the com
mitteemen do not relish the idea of a
boycott' by the musicians, they will
probably submit to the demand that the
contract with the Army band be annulled.

VANCOUVER. Wash.. June- 19. To
morrow the city will ballot on the ques
tlon of voting IM.000 in bonds for the
erection of a new school houae. The
bonds proposed will be paid annually In
Installments of $2,000, the flrt pay
ment being made two years from the
date of Issue; to raise this sum a two
mill levy will be needed from the dis
trict.
According to A. I Burnham. County
Auditor, and a member of the Board of
Bchool Directors, the present tentral
school is dangerous and unfit for any
use whatever. - This morning Mr. Burn-
ham said:
The building was erected 22 yearn
ago and, as far as I know, the only re
pair made during that time has been
the application of 170 worth of plaster,
The building has not been painted In a
decade, the steps to the basement and
the main building are worn so thin
thst you can see through them, the
foundation on one side has settled sev
eral Inches and the floors of the second
story rooms Incline at an abrupt- angle
because of this settling. The plaster la
off entirely in places and Is hanging by
thread In others; nothing lias been
done for so long that we can do little
with the old building, though it might
be made to answer If extensive repairs
were made at once. Even If all our
present buildings were in the best of
condition, we would need the new school
house, for every room, except - the
school on- the east aide, has an average
of 6S pupils in it and even the base
ments are filled. The condition must be
remedied before fall and I sincerely
trust the bonds will carry.
The directors plan to build a school-
house similar to the one at Woodlawn,
but to only build four rooms next year
and then to add to these as the treasury
permits. Generally there is little oppo-
Itlon to the bond Issue except among
those who live east of the garrison and
who have ample school facilities.

SALEM. June 19. An act of the last
legislature provides for the investment
of moneys, hold In the Irreducible school
fund, university fund or agricultural
college fund, in school district warrants
or bonds, and under this act the Btato
Land Board Is now preparing to take
np the bonds of several districts In the
state.
The act (II. a No. 46) provides that
any surplus of the irreducible school
fund, university fund or agricultural
college fund, or any other fund, held by
the State Land Board, not loaned In ae'
cordanca with the provisions of law.
should be Invested as far as possible in
bonds and warrants Issued by the vari
ous school districts within the State of
Oregon, under the direction of the State
Land Board.
The act provides that before school
district officers offer any such bonds or
warrants for sale they must give notlca
to the State Land Board of such issue,
and the amount thereof, and the State
Land Board shall have the preferential
right to purchase and pay for all or any
number of tho bonds and warrants so
offered, out of any of the funds in the
hands of the Board, the bonds to bear
Interest at 5 per cent per annum, and
to be bought by the board at par.
The bonds so to be purchased are not
to exceed the sum of fl 0,000 each, and
the State Land Board is authorized to
sell the same at any time before ma
turity.
In compliance with this act two school
districts In Oregon have already taken
steps to Issue bonds, these to be sold to
the State Land Board, and the first is
sue of such bonds under the new law
will soon be made.
School District No. 1, Clatsop county,
has decided to issue bonds for $35,000,
and School District No. 2 of Wasco
county, is taking similar steps with an
Issue of $3,500, and the State Land
Board now has the matter of taking
up both blocks of bonds out of the funds
under Ita control, as soon as all formall
ties are complied with.
Under the act of 1901, the State Land
Board purchased one $400 bond .from a
school district in Harney county, bear
ing 6 per cent interest, and this is the
only school bond at present in posses
sion of the Board.

PENDLETON. June 19. One of the
most severe wind storms In the his

Mountains between Meacham and Huron
Monday night.
From Huron eastward, along the aides
of the mountains, hundreds of trees were
twisted down and uprooted. The tele
graph and telephone ltnes were almost
completely wrecked for a- distance of
eight miles through the ' heavy timber,
and at least a dozen trees, tree tops and
masses of broken limbs fell across the
railroad track between .Huron and
Meacham.
The severity of the . wind may be
guessed from the terrible work it did at
places. Large pine trees at least three
feet in diameter were twisted off and
hurled down the mountain sides. In
places small groves of black pines were
all blown-down and every rotten treetop
on the mountain w broken off.
At Meacham at least one-fourth of the
