at Pasco. This morning when Walter
Adams reached the W. & C. R. office,
he found things looking like there
might have been an explosion during
the night. The relay, through which
the main line Is connected with the

be unfit for use any longer, and a
new one had to be placed In Its stead.
On communicating with Pasco Mr.

Judge Kohlsaat. ,

However, the attention of the night

detected the smell of burned rubber.
Whir the exact cause of the shock
has not yet been learned. It Is. presum
ed that It was caused by one of the
Northwest Gas & Electric company's
lines becoming crossed with the tele
graph wires, during the night. This
may have been caused hy the wind
which blew hard towords morning.
So much heat was generated by the
shock that had (here been anything
inflammable near the relays the same
would doubtless have caught fire, and
In the case of the W. C. R. depot at
least, this would have been serious, as
'no one Is there during the night.

West A lut Protestants Omitted Some
Vital Information Which Invalidat

ferred Back to Them -An Hour
Was SMit In Fruitless Dlsciissloa
mid liCft Where It Was Begun East
Court Muy Petition for Street Im
provement Bills AnioiinlliifC to S'2,
116.31 Ordered Paid JU'sirts Ac
cepted. From appearances there Is little
prospect for any street Improvement '
this fall, for the council Is disheart
ened and last night seemed almost
willing to throw up the sponge before
tlie first round had been finished.
The trouble all came In the shape of
a remonstrance from property owners
on West Alta street, In which It was
claimed that the "underslgners were
unable at present to stand the expense
of the Improvement." However, there
was nothing in the petition to show
what .frontage was owned by each
signer, nor did It state that the signers
constituted a mujority of the property
owners on West Alta. These things,
according to City Attorney Carter,
were necessary', and that official had
some doubts regarding the word "un
derslgners." Consequently, the re
monstrance was given to Councilman
Swearingen to hand back to the sign
ets with a request that each man state
the frontage owned by him.
j .o sooner naa inc v est street
remonstrance been disposed of until
C. S. Wheeler backed by Dr. T. M..
Henderson, arose and said that it was
the wish of the majority of owners
on Alta street between Cottonwood
and Johnson that their block be Im
proved with the same material that Is
to be used on Main street. They were
evidently of the belief that something
better than macadam will go on Mala
street when that thoroughfare Is Im
proved, and they wished the same
treatment for their block. Conse
quently, thty asked that the macad
amizing of Alta street be commenced
at Johnson street Instead of Cotton
wood. This seemingly laudable :re
quest appeared to disconcert the coun
cil as much as did the remonstrance
from West Alta. Some of the mem
bers did not think It worth while t
Improve Alta street merely from John
son to the Intersection with Court, and
favored abandoning Alta -street alto
gether. A motion by Councilman
Swearingen that the resolution be re
vised as desired by Messrs. Wheeler
and Henderson failed of a second, and
as a result no action whatever was
taken, the matter being left In a rather
chaotic condition. r
Floundered and Stalled.
For fully an hour the council floun
dered In a discussion of the above sub
ject, and various solutions were pro
posed. Some one suggested that here
after no Improvement be ordered un
til It was petitioned for by property
owners, hut to this Councilman Renn
objected, becouse he said property
owners would never take the initiative.
The question of Improving East Court
from Mill street to the mill race was
discussed, and an effort may be mode
to secure a petition from property
owners along that street nsklng for
macadam.
A favorable report was made by the
street committee on petition for a side
walk and stairway between Tustln
and High streets, and the same was
ordered.
petition from residents of High
School hill asking for the organization
of a hose company there, was referred
to the fire committee.
Liquor licenses were issued to Raker
& Garrison. Turner Bros., ljiwrence
& Aston, and wholesale licenses to
the Pendleton Tee & Cold Storage
company, and to Conrad Koehler.
Rills for the past month were paid,
amounting in all to $2116.31. Of
these the largest were W. S. Wells, for
