DEADLOCKED.
The Mayor and the Council Lock Horns,
Resulting In Adjournment.
An extraordinary meeting of the city
council occurred Saturday night, which
will pass down to history as the shortest
regular meeting on record, and perhaps
the most animated.
Mayor Kreft called the meeting to
order .at 8 o'clock, present Councilmen
Hudson, Eshelman, Jolea, Butts and
Crowe. Messrs. Jolea and Butts were
seated at the recorder'B table and were
going through the bills during the read
ing of the minutes. The minutes of the
regular January meeting were passed
without comment, at were the special
meeting of Feb. 8th. The recorder had
just started out with "City Hall, Feb.
19th, a special meeting of the common
council was held Feb. 17th " when the
mayor interrupted the recorder's mono
tone by a vigorous rap with the gavel.
It was ominous and startling. As the
gentlemen of the council elevated an in
quiring 'glance to the presiding officer
they saw a countenance bearing a hard,
set look, and heard the words :'
"Gentlemen, these minutes are not a
matter of record. I declare them out of
order and they will not be read."
; There was a" momentary silence,
broken by Aid. Hudson stepping to the
recorder'B desk, inquiring for a charter.
He read therefrom a section, which did
not quite fit the case in handand said
he would look further into the matter as
soon as he had a little leisure time. He
said he supposed the meeting was regu
lar, that he had been duly notified by
the marshal, and presented himself in
accordance with the summons.
Aid. Jolea, who had been perusing the
bills, said : "In looking over the bills I
discover a bill for 267 meals for prisoners
during the month of February, and, as
far as I am concerned, there will- be a
bill for 300 meals in March for feeding
the council unless these minutes in
question are' read." .
Mr. Jolea was evidently prepared for a
long siege, but a motion later to adjoqrn
removed the necessity of the city feeding
him-and the other councilmen during a
protracted deadlock. . . '
Aid. Hudson next tried to break the
deadlock by moving that the minutes be
read. It was duly seconded, and again
the sounding gavel struck the bench. "
"The motion is not in order, and will
not be put," said his honor.
"Then I move to adjourn." .
It was seconded by .Mr. Jolea and the
motion put, when Aid. Butts quickly
arose and said in a deprecatory way:
"Gentlemen, this is no way to do busi
ness, at all. It is only boys' play. - Let's
get to work and do the business the city
expects us to do. There are people here'
waiting for their money, bills that ought
to be paid, and we ought to pass upon
them." v
"Question," was the response, and
the motion to adjourn was carried:

THE SCHOOL MEETING.
A Larger Attendance Turns Out than
for Many Years.
A Schoolhonse for ISO Pupils Will
Be Built In, Thompson's Addi
tion Three Grades. Will '
1 Be Added.
The annual school meeting; of. District
No. 12 convened this afternoon at 2
o'clock. As it was generally understood
this was to be an important meeting, a
larger number were in attendance than
for several years. Other matters of a
public nature are sometimes slighted,
but when anything touching upon the
welfare of ,the children comes up, par
ents generally exhibit the true interest
and . brave every inconvenience to be
present. .
The meeting was opened by a reading
of the call by Mr. H. S. Wilson, followed
by a reading of the clerk's report by Mr.
E. Jacobsen. .This was very full, con
taining besides a financial statement, a
report of ' the several classes and the
number of pupils in each class. .
Election of a director to serve three
years was next declared in order. Mr.
S. B. AdamB nominated Mr. Orion Kin-
ersly, and Mr. Geo. Runyon' nominated
Mr. Jack Elton. In answer to an in
quiry as to what constituted a legal
voter, Mr. Wilson replied one who was a
resident of the state for one year and of
the district thirty days, who was over 21
years of age, and had any taxable real
or personal property in the district.
The ballot resulted in Kinersly 82, Elton
47, and Mr. Kinersly waa declared duly
elected. " . . '
For clerk Mr. C. L. Phillips nominated
Mr. E. Jacobsen. Mr. FitzGerald nom
inated I. C. Nicholsen, and Mr. Wiley
nominated 1. 1. Burget. Mr. Nicholsen
declined. The vote resulted Jacobsen
74, Burgett 69. . -
The next question considered waa the
one providing for additional school room,
whether to buy,' lease or build. An
offer was read from the academy direc
tors to lease two rooms in the basement
for $40 per month, or one room for $20.
In this connection a statement was read
from Prof. Gavin that if but one grade
was added, one room extra would be all
that was needed. .'
Mr, L. L. McCartney then addressed
the house in reference to a petition for
the construction of a school building in
Thompson's addition. Mr. Jack Elton
presented a written motion, which after
it was amended read aa follows : That,
the school directors be empowered to
construct a school building within 400
yards of Mrs. Fish'B brick dwelling
house, suitable for 150 children, and
that it be finished and furnished by the
first of September, 1894. .
School Clerk Jacobsen read a supple
mental report of population, showing
that there were . 175 school children in
Thompson's addition. Mr. McCartney
said that in his neighborhood the chil
dren would have to walk two miles to
school, and. being bo small they could
not go that distance. That when they
grew larger they would have to enter the
struggle for existence, and hence they
would be deprived of schooling." The.
motion was carried '
The next question was that of increas
ing the number of grades. Mr. Bayard
moved that the grades be raised up to
and including the eleventh grade, this
being an addition of three grades to
those at present. He supported - the
.motion in a short speech, saying that
while his children were not old enough
to attend, they would be some time and
he - did not want to send them to Celilo
or Hood River to acquire the finishing
touches of on education.
Mr. Adams was then called for. He
said this was the only subject that had
been brought up which he felt deeply
interested in. He referred to the hard
times, and was as much in favor as any
yody else in reducing taxation or in
debtedness. "The present stringency
affects every induatry from Maine to
California," said he, "and we must pro
ceed yery carefully, or else we will be
swamped. But there are two indus
tries in The Dallea I might mention
which have been exempt from the gen
eral depression. : These are the infant
industry and the rock crusher. And the
administration or any other authority is
powerless to cope with them. When I
went in. aa school director: there were
only about .500 school children in the
district. Now there are 1,060." A
voice in the house said, "Good for
Adams." The laughter that followed
this witticism was deafening, and all ef
forts to restore order were powerless.
Mr: Adams continued: "I was , in
formed that today's meeting would, be
a warm one and I can afford to furnish
a little fun. J3ut to be serious, this
question of increasing the grades ap
peals to me strongly. The benefits are
these: We have got to have more
school room, and it makes but little dif
ference as to that, whether the pres
ent grades-are added or not. We must
have two more teachers. ,. Raising the
grades will not add any more room.
The only difference is the class of
teachers. The higher grade teacher
will have to . be paid $25 more per
month, or $225 for the school year. I
will take the Outside tuition money that
will be paid, consequent upon raising
these grades and give bond, to pay this
$250 extra with no added expense to the
district. ' I have received applications
from ten or fifteen families outside the
district, which cannot be provided for.
I have had to tejl them no. Why, if we
had these grades, there would not be a
vacant house in town. I do not say
anything against the present school. It
is good as far aa it goes, but that is not
enough.
"Again, there ib no less than 25 or 50
children-going out of school this year
who should remain, but who are going
ont at 12 to 15 years of age. Some
children are going over the course again,
reviewing because parents want to keep
them in school. And the parents don't
want to se nd them to Dnfur or Hood
River to be educated. This ia a matter
that appeals to our patriotism. It is
humiliating to go to Dufur and Bee them
spreading out, while we are not doing
our duty at home. I say it ia a matter
that should be considered by every pa
triotic citizen."
The motion was then' put and unani
mously carried ; and shortly after the
meeting adjourned.
