If Govomor Olcott should name

COUNCIL BACKS
MAYOR'S WORK
FAULT FINDING RULES
' REPORT DIES.
Mlntcr Target of Hcathlng Criticism
by City Executive Camp Ground
Appropriation Made, and Park
' Cotiunlttce I Named.
After reviving the report of the
rules committee criticising the mayor
and the Commercial club, and which
has the center ot hostilities for the
two previous meeting, R. P. Mlnter
aw the pestiferous document die a
natural death at the regular session
of the city council last night. Coun
cilman Benson endeavored to have
the report tabled, but there was no
second, the council choosing rather
to Ignore It entirely. Not even Mr.
Mlnter, who wrote the report, was
heard to move its adoption.
The change of a few dates in the
early part of the report, having to
do with elections, was made the ex
cuse for dragging in the whole docu
ment for another reading before the
council, and almost before the city
recorder had finished. Mayor J. A.
Eastes rose to his feet, trembling
with anger. "It is not the duty of
any committee to wind up its report
with such a alam as that against city
official and such a respected and
progressive organization as the Bend
Commercial club," he said. "Why
organized labor did not come in for
criticism I can't understand, for the
question ot voting bonds or taxes
waa submitted to the Central Labor
council as well a to the Commercial
club."
Here Mr. Minter declared that he
had not Intended to hurt anybody's
feelings, but that he objected to the
city's business being "peddled about"
from one place to another Instead
of being transacted in the council
chambers. ,
Commercial Club Praised.
"As the mayor of Bend, I have the
right to go before the Commercial
club whenever I damn please for
the discussion of public matters,"
Mr. Eaates declared. "I've got the
floor, Mr. Minter." as that council
man, heckling the speaker, Inter
rupted. "The Commercial club Is a credit
to Bend, and there can be nothing
wrong in referring a question to them
as a means of securing popular
opinion. "A to this." indicating the
rule committee's report, "when a
man will get up and present a docu
ment ot this kind, he is not a good
citizen, and does not deserve to
represent the city of Bend."
Mr. Minter was aggrieved, main
taining that his civic patriotism and
the purity ot his motives were un
assailable.
Report Is Killed. .'
Mayor Eastes called for action on
the report, but resented an attempt
by Mr. Mlnter to preside. Council
roan Benson moved to table, but,
there was no second, and E. L. Payne,
the third member of the rules com
mittee, explained his stand In the

who addressed the Bend business

are unable to seo 'why trunk .high
ways should be built first." -
