Though Mayor Tauslck of Walla
Walla, has vetoed the new franchise
that was granted the Oregon &
Washington company by the Walla
Walla council, his act will have no
effect whatever upon the building of
tho lnterurban line.
At the Walla Wallu council meet
ing last night Mayor Tauslck return
ed the franchise ordinance with his
veto and In a message set forth his
reason for disapproving of the meas
ure. Ills act apparently means that
the franchise will not be granted as
the council will not pass it over the
objection of the mayor.
Already Had IVanclilse.
But that the refusal of the mayor
to approve the franchise will have
ren'ly no effect whatever upon the
proposed luterurbun line was declar
ed over the phone this morning by
Gilbert Hunt. According to Mr. Hunt
the company already held a franchise
for Walla Walla and tho refusal of
th council to grant the perilling one
does not shut them out -f "the city.
The members of the company re
gard the original franchise as unsat
isfactory In some respects and asked
for another more favorable to them.
That the mayor would veto the fran
chise ordinance was anticipated by(
tho members of the company and so
they were not surprised at his action
lart night.
Xv After Money.
Regarding the lnterurban road Mr.
Hunt wild that up to the present time
no definite time has been set for the
beginning of construction work, but
that the preliminary work Is moving
along satisfactorily. The project Is
now up to tho eastern men who ore
to back it and a soon ns It has been
financed work will be undertaken.
Mr. Hunt says that the money for the
road will be forthcoming and that
the people of Pendleton will not re
gret the Tctlon of the council In vot
ing the road a franchise.
Reasons for Veto.
In his veto message the Walla Wal
la mayor set forth five reasons why
the new franchise should not be
granted. His first objection was that
the company would be allowed to hold
Its right to use the streets for 25
years after building, but a single mile
of tract In the city.
Secondly he objected because the
proposed franchise granted the com
pany the right to build two parallel
tracks on each street, thereby mak
ing It possible to have four tracks
on some streets.
His third objection was to the fea
ture concerning fares and transfers
within the city.
His fourth objection was that file
franchise did not properly secure the
city and save It harmless n cases of
accidents.
The fifth objection was that under
the franchise the mayor of the city
could grant the company the right to
operate freight cars through the city
In the day time. He held the power
should rest with the council.

I. a Grande, Sept. 16. There was an
element of violence in front of the
United States land office yesterday
morning when the doors were open
ed for filing on a section of land In
Wallowa county, for which a score
or more of people for days waited
patiently on the sidewalks to make
filing. During the day over 40 filings
were made.
Tho first Intimation of violence took
place when a group of people from
Wallowa county formed an opposition
line. There Is an ordinance, the
wording of which Is Immaterial, but
tho purpose of which Is to keep loaf
ers off the streets after 2 o'clock a.
m., which was enforced when police
men broke up the second line, the
members of it having not procured a
permit from the mayor to remain In

Walla Walla. Sept. 16. Rev. An
dieas Bard, for 10 years rector of St.
Paul's Episcopal church In this city,
filed his resignation with the vestry
last night, the date of Its taking ef
fect being October 1, if possible, and
not later than October 15.
Reasons given in the resignation
are that he has been In Walla Walla
10 years, that he has built the church
and school here, and that his work Is
completed, and that he desires to go
to a larger field.
Rev. Andreas Bard, with his wife
and daughter, will first go to Germa

father, the lit. Rev. Taul Bard, bishop
of Northern Germany, is now station

At a meeting of the council ordi
nance committee last night the dairy
ordinance Introduced at the Instance
of City Physician Cole was thorough
ly "churned' and a few changes pro
posed by Interested parties present,
were made. None of them, however,
effect the merits of the ordinance.
and It will doubtless be passed by the
council tonight.
The meeting last night was held In
the office of City Attorney Raley and
It proved almost as large a conference
as that held when the lnterurban
franchise people were here. Mayor
Murphy, Councilmen Knight, Strain,
Mumm and Stroble and City Attor
ney Raley were present In behalf of
the city, while the dairy Interests
were represented by Messrs. Harper,
Morgan and Powers. Another Inter
ested attendant was John Hailey, Jr.
The most serious objection raised
against the ordinance as originally
drafted bv Messrs. Cole and McClure
was that by its provisions It practi
cally barred local householders from
selling milk to their neighbors. The
measure provided that no dairyman,
or any party selling milk, should
store milk within 200 feet of any
place where manure is piled and tt
required that before delivery milk be
cooled to a temperature of not high
er than 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
Last night the ordinance was
changed so that It now permits the
delivery of new milk without any
cooling process and the provision re
garding . manure piles applies only
where milk is retained for four hours
or longer. If milk is not delivered
within three hours' time it must be
cooled. The restrictions as to the
grade of milk and cream to be sold
were not changed.

The provision requiring dairy cows
to be tested for tuberculosis, by far
the most Important section of the or
dinance, remains as it was excepting
that the council reserves the right to
approve the parties whom the city
physician shall select to make the
tests. It Is the intention of Dr. Cole
to ask Dr. McClure and his deputies
to make the tests and they have al
ready received permission from
Washington to serve, free of cost 'to
the city.
The penalty for a violation of the
ordinance was changed slightly. It
formerly Imposed a fine of not less
than J 25 nor more than $100. It now
specifies that the fine shall merely
not exceed $100, thus allowing the

introduced and the play made longer.
