Cheb- RINGTON. 11-10-lOt HELD SPECIAL SESSION City Council Discusses Meter System and Makes Arrangements For Sewer Assessment. W. A special meeting of the city council was held last night for the purpose of considering the report of the commit tee appointed last week to confer with Hon. H. Y. Gates concerning the plan of attaching meters to the irrigation hydrants in Dallas. The general trend of the report sub mitted was unfavorable to the plan of adopting a meter system. No action was taken on it and immediately after it had been submitted City Engineer Morrison filed figures to show that the irrigation rates in Portland are much lower than in Dallas and that the city is making a good profit from the municipal ownership of its water sys tem. The subject will be given further consideration at the next reg ular meeting and council will prob ably take action on the report filed by the committee last night The city attorney was instructed to draft an ordinance to license street peddlers of groceries and general household commodities, since a num ber of persons have been plying this trade in Dallas for some time and it was thought proper for the city to extend to the established merchants of the city some protection against such transient opposition. It was decided to place $1800 of the general fund in the street fund to cover deficits and uncollected assessments on the street Improvement work and the auditor was instructed to notify all property owners who bad not yet paid their assessments that these must be paid as soon as possible or legal proceedings would be resorted to to secure settlement No assessment has been made on the sewer project and Mayor Muir appointed committees last night to examine the property in the sewer districts and fix a valuation on it as a basis for assessment. The personnel of the committees is as follows: Oak street district Councilmen Ellis and Coad j Clay street district Council men Stafrin and Myer; Washington street district Councilmen Shaw and Uglow.

Fuller Describes Industrial Conditions As He Found Them in Atlantic States. TIMBER LANDS Puller & Elliott W. V. Fuller arrived bdme Saturday evening from a six weeks' business and pleasure trip in the East. His journey eastward was made over the Canadian Pacifio, down through Illi nois, New York, and Pennsylvania terminating in Washington, D. C, where he spent a week's time before starting on his return trip to Oregon through the central states by way of the Union Pacifio. While in Washington, Mr. Fuller had the pleasure of meeting President Roosevelt, paid a visit to beautiful Mount Vernon, and delved to his heart's content among the govern ment records in the great capital city. Concerning business conditions in the East, he says that while the effects of the 1907 panic were more severe in the Atlantio states than in the western coast states, business in every depart ment is picking up rapidly since the close of the presidential campaign and everything indicates a speedy return to normal conditions of prosperity. Mr. Fuller was in New York during the latter part of the campaign and for a short time succeeding the election, and characterizes it as "the hottest fight he ever saw." But, he added, 'the opportunities of the working men to secure employment were immeasur ably increased when the final result of the election became known." He said that in passing the offices of employment agencies a few days before election, one would see their black boards almost empty, the few demands for labor being filled almost the instantthey were sent in. In con trast to this, within four days after the election one would see the black boards in front of the same agencies chalked as full as they could bold and instead of men asking in vain for employment the situation was reversed and those having work to be done were clamoring In vain for men to do it. In Minnesota and the Middle states the improvement is not so rapid or so marked. Min nesota especially, alum ber state, has accumulated an enor mous reserve of lumber and just at this time is minimizing its cut of logs, which condition has and will have for a short time a depressing effect on the Industrial activity of that region. Mr. Fuller's main object in making the trip was to Interest eastern capital in the timber land of the west, and he says that he found conditions in the east, and especially in Pennsylvania, most encouraging. In Pennsylvania be met a number of men who have already secured large timber holdings in Oregon and Washington and every thins indicates that the time is at hand when there will be a general movement of eastern capital toward Oregon and Washington timber. Pennsylvania has already exhausted its timber supply and everything indl cates that the supply from the southern states, on which they have been rely ing thus far, will soon be also exhausted. Already they are waking up to the conditions and this awaken Ing is bound to result In a general movement toward the next natural base of timber supplies the forests of Oregon and Washington., Only Real Estate firm in Polk County handling Timber liana exclusively Don't fail to call or write if you have timber to sell.
