From Property Owners.

Resolutions culling for the macad
amising of Alia street were finully
adopted lost night. Other business of
Importance was also transacted,
among which was a request from the
Northwest Gag & Electric company
for a nine months extension of time
In which to Install their gas plant
here, and which was laid over for a
week.
With the adoption of the macada
mising resolutions lust evening the
first definite step towards street im
provement was taken, and unless the
matter Is killed by remonstrance,
work will be started soon. Three
separate resolutions were passed:
One for West Alta, betwen Garden
and Chestnut streets; 'one for East
Alta, between Cottonwood and Court
streets, and one for Frnnklln, between
Railroad and Court. The Improve
ment of Franklin street Is wished be
eause It is necessary to haul the ma
cadamizing material over It, and at
present It Is said to lie almost Impas
sable. The resolutions culled for 38 feet of
macadam In the centar of the street,
and a four-foot park on each side,
between the sidewalk and the macad
amised part, with the exception of on
Kant Alta in front of lots 7 and 8. In
block 5, where the macadam Is to
reach to the curb. 'This place Is In
front of the Pendleton Iron Works.
The maradnm Is to be placed six
Inches deep. In the resolution It Is
ordered that the work be paid for by
the owners of abutting properly, and
that the city hold a lien on said prop
erty for the cost of the work. The
city will pay for all squares at the In
tersection of streets.
Copies of the three resolutions will
ho published for 10 days, and unless
two-thirds of the property owners re
monstrate within that time, the work
will be undertaken.
Extension Request Referred.
' The request from the electric light
company for a nine months extension
of the time on their franchise, for In
stalling a gas plant, was made to the
council by Dr. F. W. Vincent. The
latter stated that the plant hnd not
been Installed within the year as
agreed by the company, because of
their Inability to flnanre the work.
According to him the company had
been forced to pay 10,1)00 more than
was estimated for their power system,
and consequently they had not been
able to place the gas plant nt once.
Tlowever, he said they wished to do
so next spring, and asked for an ex
tension of nine months time. After
considerable discussion of the matter,
the request was finally relerred to the
health committee, with orders to re-
port next week. A $1000 bond was
given by the company last year, and
this amount is not subject to forfeit
should the council so wish.
A petition from the residents of
Willow street, between ' Tnsttn and
High, asking for the construction of a
sidewalk and stairway, was read and
referred to the street committee. Also,
the same was done with a communi
cation from J. W. Klmbrell, stating
that the grade In Haley's addition
should be changed.
Marshal Cnffmnn asked the coun
cil for a few days leave of absence so
that he might visit the fair nt Port
land, ami the mutter was left with
the police committee.
Chairman Murphy, of the police
committee notified the marshal that
the services of Special Officer Steph
ens could now bo dispensed with, and
consequently that officer will be re
moved. Mny Revive Curfew Bell.
The matter of ringing a curfew at
8:30 was brought before the meet

staled that since he had been acting
as recorder he hud found there was
great need of tho snme. Also, John

Washington, Sept.. 28. I3rlgadler
General Oreely, chief of the signal
corps of the army, has Just completed
a thorough Inspection of the Alaskan
telegruph ssytcm. The tremendous In
crease In commercial business hun-
dlcd by the lines gives an Indication of
the growing importance of Alaskan
trade.
in the post two months telegraph
lolls on commercial business have
amounted to more thun 8132,000,
while the enst of government business
on the lines during this tlma exceeded
120,000. Many thousand code words
were transmitted during the 15 months
the wireless system In Alaska has
been operated without a single error.
Tho competition between govern
mental, commercial and press business
on the Aluskun lines has developed to
the point where a new system to ex
pedlte business has been demanded.
General Greely was impressed with
the necessity of improving the quar
ters of the men In charge of the Alas
kan lines and will take this mutter up
at once. This work Is attended with
many hurdshlps, but the record of the
men on duty there Ib regarded as ex
ceptionally good.
Eighty miles of line Is being rebuilt
which will allow the abandonment of
70 miles In undesirable localities.

An Interview from Governor Cham

Not so with Secretary of Mate F. I
Dunbar. Mr. Dunbar said to the same
Interviewer that as he had been In

would not be a candidate for re-elec

REV. IIAYNES IN SEATTLE. j
Minister Who Is Under Fire Says Little
of His Trouble. .
"I take It that you believe in me or
I should not be here." said Dr. Myron
W. Haynes. late of Chicago, in his in
troduction to his sermon to the First
Baptist church of Seattle, says the
Seattle News. "There have been
many things suid and done that have
been misunderstood and placed before
the public in false lights. Of these
you are cognizant. It would avail
me nothing to detail them here. I
come to Seattle to work for God and
this church and all that I ask, if 1
may use the words of our -illustrious
president. Is a square deal and talr
play from the people."
This was the extent of the reference
mude by Dr. Huyiies to the recent con
troversy regarding his own actions.
From these remarks he proceeded to.
his sermon on a text chosen from the
fourth verse of the eleventh chapter
of Paul's epistle to the Phllipplans,
"For and whatsoever state I am 1 have
therewith to be content"
Dr. Haynes was Introduced to the
congregation by Corwln 8. Shank who
referred to the fact that the congre
gation had long been looking for a
pastor capable of taking up the lead
ership required of htm and that at last
they- had found one In the Derson of
Dr. Haynes.
The church was crowded to the
doors, there being upwards of 1000
people present and more than 100
were turned away on account of being
unable to get in the doors. A number
of the regular members of the congre
gation who have taken part In the op
position to Dr. Haynes were conspicu
ously absent.

to talk, and thus far has refused to
meet the Indignant people of China
