A meeting of the city council was held on Monday evening to take action on the ordinance intro duced two weeks ago by Council man Aiken providing for the amending of sections 7 and 23 of ordinance No. 123, known as the liquor ordinance. There were present Mayor Woodson and Council men AikeD, W. O. and C. A. Minor, Humphrys and Noble; absent, Kirk.

The riiatter of insuring the city nest house was referred to com mitteeon streets and public prop erty. These minor matters baviog bee attended to, the council took u the consideration of ordinance No 123. This brought forth som discussion and on motion of Aiken the ordinance was withdrawn unanimous consent and the City attorney iustructad to prepare an other ordinance providing foe th repeal of section No. 7, only of ordinance No. 123. By the repea of this section the limit to th number of liquor licenses that can be granted by the coancil will b removed, but the present license fee of $200 per quarter will be re tained. The Aiken amendmen provided for a reduction of the fee to $125 per quarter should th number of licenses issued read seven or more. This provision was the objectionable feature to the majority of the council, hence the proposed new ordinance, which was prepared, presented and read first time, and will pass the coun oil, without doubt, - at the next meeting the first Monday in Nov ember.

Demonstrations and lectures will be given on the train by representatives of the Oregon Agricultural College and Experiment Station on subjects of interest to the farmers, including more and better Livestock, Poultry, Grain, Forage Plants, Conservation of Moisture and Agriculture generally. Stops will be made of sufficient length at each point to afford ample opportunity for personal discussion of any and all agricultural problems. The announcement states that the demonstrations and lectures will be of particular value to farmers, and they are cordially invited to attend and bring their families. The subjects of hog raising and, field pea culture will receive special attention; in fact the train is named "The Hog and Field Pea Special." The most improved methods of hog raising will be fully demonstrated by an expert from the Agricultural College, and the train will carry some of the prize stock belonging to the school. There will be a car devoted to poultry raising also. Our people are particularly interested in this line. Representatives of the Oregon Agricultural College and Experiment Station who will accompany the train are Dr. James Withycombe, Director; Prof. H. D. Scudder, Dry Farming Expert; Prof. F. L. Kent, Dairy Husband man; Prof. James Dryden, Poultry Husbandman; Prof. E. L. Potter, Animal Husbandman; Mr. Robert Withy combe, Superintendent of Eastern Oregon Experiment Station; Mr. H. Umberger, Superintendent of Moro Dry Farm Station; Mr. Orran Beaty, Traveling Agricultural Advisor, and Mr. C. E. Robinson, College Herdsman. The supreme object will be to get next to the farmers and agriculturists; no extra time is to be taken up with long talks but special attention is to be given all questions asked. Come prepared to get all the information you can. Train will stop at Jone from 8:00 to 11:30 a. m. and the afternoon from 1:00 to 5:00 will be spent at Heppner. No stop will be made at Lexington but we are authorized to say to the good people of that community that there will be plenty of room for them on the train, and for the sum of 25 cents each way they can ride to Heppner and land at home at 5:30 in the evening.
