STREET VACATION ORDINANCE FAILS Closing of Greenwood Street At High School Grounds Lacked Requisite Majority. Plenty of Water on Hill Farm. W. W. Harris has struck plenty of water in a well only 10 feet deep on his hill homestead four miles northwest of town. He dug a well 22 feet deep and struck enough w ater for household use, but continuing this well to 47 feet did not increase the flow. Starting another in a hollow a strong vein was struck at 10 feet.

The ordinance for the vacation of Green wood street where it passes the county high school grounds, failed of the required two-thirds majority when put on final parage at the city council meeting Monday night. The vote stood, yeas, A kins and Combes; nays, Berland and Graves. Councilman Reavls was absent on account of illness. At the time it was said that a majority vote wis all that was necessary to pass the ordinant e, and as it stood a tie Mayor Soyd vojed aye. An examination of the charter shows that a two-thirds majority is necessary and so the ordi nance is dead. j A number of citizens wore present. George W Hyatt pruseuted a remon rance against tiie closing of the street, with 60 signatures. He explained that he could have secured many more if he had had time. Mr, Hyatt called atten. tion to the fact that if the ordinance passed there would be no street for four blocks open eastward. Capt. A. C. Smith, while unacquainted with this particular case, was opposed on general principles. A. 11. Rudd said that in his opinion Greenwood street would be the main highway onto the hill. II. C. Cramer opposed closing the street as there are none too ,m:'.iiv open now. Ben Weathers said an out let should be maintained to that section which many predict will one day be. come a choice residence district. After the vote Mayor Boyd told of the promise made by council to court to vacate, by virtue of which the building was placed where it is. Counciln an Berland said he would vote to vacate 30 feet of the street but believed that a 00 foot stieet should be retained. The petition for vacation was signed by the county court and 'A. B. Dunbar. Mr. Dunbar owns the frontAge on tbe south side of the street and has given the court a quit claim to his reversion. ary interest in the street.. He has since changed bis mind about vacating the street mid signed the remonstranc against it. Marshal Miller reported the result of the census of the city taken by him He found 803 persons, 513 of whom re- idu north of Main stre. t. The ordinauce vacating Walter and 30 feetat west end Greenwood street was passed unanimously, it appears in another place in this paper. The new franchise for Home telephone company was laid over until tlie company agrees to give the city free telephone service. City recorder ana citv treasurer wero directed to make reports. Councilmeii Graves and Combes were appointed as a committee to buy lumber fur neeilert crosswalks and have same hauled at once. Licht committee recommend' d in stalling nine additional 32-cantlle power incandescent street lights, nve oi wnici are to lie placed on the north side of town; one near J. C.

In a one-sided but interesting and exciting game the Enterprise indoor baseball team defeated the Wallowa team at the Enterprise rink Saturday nirht by a score of 40 to 14. The game was never in doubt after the first inn ing, but bits of good fielding by both Bides, the hard hitting and brilliant base running by the locals and the en- The next attraction at the opera house after Mr. Zwickey's lecture will be "Mrs. Temple's Telegram," the most successful play of the current season, which will be presented by the Enter prise Stock company, Tuesday evening, February 18.
