man Bennett, "we can eliminate Howard
from further work for the olty I want
to see It done. There purely must be
noma way in which this can ne aone.
We hava had enouarh of him In the
Kighth ward and from what I have
beard from other councllmen they have
had enough of him in their wards."
Afterward Mr. Bennett explained that
Howard had a policy of securing a large
number of contracts which he anew he
.had nelther-the money nor the material
to complete on specified time. ' Then
aid Mr. Bennett, he comes In and asks
for extensions of , time. These exten
sions are nothing more than delays and
sometimes amount to several years. The
people should not be allowed to suffer
this imposition, declared the member
from tbe Eizhth.
Councilman Wills said that a contrac

work for a private corporation at the

charged as much as 6( cents a yard for

knowing that in order to get a proper
rate or interest on his money due to tne
long delay In receiving payment from
the city, he would have to charge a

Buncllman Vaughn led the opposition

number or property owners on the
street, who declared in the meeting that

dltlon.

City Engineer Taylor accepted
rk as done satisfactorily and
recommended Its acceptance to the ex
usual routine fashion on Taylor's rec
-oirimendatlon.
Councilman Vaughn said that he
spoke to Mr. Taylor a dozen times re
garding the manner in which Howard
nd his men were working and pro
tested his acts. Vaughn deolared that
he asked Taylor several times not to
aooept the street before notifying
Vaughn and the property owners so that
they might make their objections in
proper time. Vaughn's criticism of the
methods of the city engineer's office
were passed over by the councllmen and
Mr. Taylor, who declared the work had
been performed in a proper manner.
The council voted for the assessment
ordinance and the property owners will
refuse payment, claiming they will take
their case into courts before giving up
their money for work done fraudulently.

Thomas C Finnegan. one of the pas
sengers of the Ill-fated west side train
which went into the ditch Monday night
near Foreet Grove, and who is nw con
fined to his bed in a hotel at McMlnn
vllle. has so far recovered that he is
able to write and tell of his experience
In an interesting letter written to a
friend in Portland. In part the letter
of Mr. Finnegan la as follows:
"While I am badly bruised, especially
in the right hip, I am in an optimistic
mood, as I feel so grateful that I was
not instantly killed. The doctor marvels I
that I did not crush my limb and hip I
into a jelly.
I was seated In the smoker on the
left hand side and as the coaches were
turned over and down the embankment
to the right side I was thrown Into
space. But as I felt It going I had the
presence of mind to grab . the arm rest
of the seat, which prevented me from
being dashed across the car and through
the window. When the coach landed In
the ditch with the top of the car down
my hold was broken and I fell among
the debris with glass falling about me
like a snowstorm.
"I attempted t rise but fund that I
was out of commission. Air. Grant, a
traveling . man. was lying beside me,
knocked senseless. At. this juncture a
man attempted to walk over us, stating
that he wanted to get his baggage out.
I called him a cur and demanded tnat he
assist in extricating Mr. Grant. At this
he woke up and went to work in ear
nest. "At this time gas began to escape and
we were In danger of being suffocated
and momentarily expected fire to break
out and cremate those who could not
move. I expected the car to take fire
every second and there was only one
exit at the end of the Coach which some
one at this time battered down. We
were carried out in a fainting condition
and were compelled to remain in the
rain until arrangements for our trans
portation were completed.
'I shall never forget the wlerd scene
of the broken glass falling about me.
The little tot of a girl whose mother
and baby brother were killed was in the
arms of a man standing near me, crying
plteously to be taken to her grandma.
She was carried to a nearby farmhouse.
When I was being taken from the ex
press car I fainted and was carried to
my hotel on a stretcher, where I soon
revived."

ideas that meat is not the

greatest error,. A growing child

and as Dr. Grindley has proved by
scientific test, pure, wholesome
