One of the" most Important meetings
the water board - ever held occurred
this morning when the members dis
cussed the franchise ordinance granting
. the Mount Hood Hallway & Power com
pany permission to , use ; the surplus
water of Bull Run river below the
city's intake and the right of way across
the city's lands on the river. Tha board
meeting was attended by City Attorney
Kavanaugh and R- )V. Montague, special
counsel, both men assisting tha board
in arriving at an understanding of the
ordinance.
City Attorney Kavanaugh presented
an ordinance as did Montague and both
measures were taken up section by sec
tion. Both ordinances were similar la
the main and also showed great sim
ilarity In detail. Both eliminated tha
features objected to by the members of
the judiciary committee of the council
and when the board decides upon an
ordinance It will be Again -submitted
to the judiciary -committee. "After the
committeemen ga over tha ordinance
again a joint meeting -of the commit
tee and .water board will ba held and
their recommendation. . will go to the
council. v, .iV-;v..i-:,,,.. y i

PEASANT GIRL .
BEATS ARCHDUKE
Officer Suffering Physical Punish
: toent Liable to Dismissal ':
v.; From Arm. . .
- Budapest, June t2,-Archduke Joseph,
aa Brigadier, is accused of having al
lowed himself to ba beaten, and If Em
peror Francis Joseph wasn'l an emi
nently sana and kindly-man. the marti
nets of tha war office might give his
imperial highness ,all sorts of trouble
by trying to enforce against him tha
letter of tha military law, that any
army officer suffering physical punish
ment must resign.' .- -
The awful affront happened at tha
archduke's summer home, tha estate of
Klstapolcsany. It seems that the arch
duke, his wife. Archduohesa Augusta,
and a courtier ' were walking in the
castle park, when they suddenly heard
the swish of a rod behind. At the same
moment the archduke got a cut across
tne nacg ana snouiaers.
Turning, he saw, a pretty young girl,
dressed up In peasant's finery. She held
a willow switch In her hand and was
about to apply it again and again, when
an exclamation from the archduke
stopped her.
'TJon't be angry, your highness," she
said, "but unless you acoept 15 strokes
from this switch, I will not gat married
during the year, and besides you will
have sickness In the House."'
Tha courtier, who Is a Hungarian by
birth, explained that Whitsuntide must
see tha master beaten by his female
vassals, or they and the master himself
are nouna to surier. un mis tne arch
duke laughingly consented to be birched,
and allowed his wife to give him a few
additional strokes for good measure.
