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.

MUNSING
UNDERWEAR
Twenty different qualities. Every required style
and size. There isn't a question about the better com
fort and value of MUNSING UNDERWEAR. It's
simply a question of how long it will be before you
find it out for yourself. MUNSING UNDERWEAR
is made to fit tailored as it were to fit the form
and finished as no other underwear is finished. There
are no bunglesome seams, no clumsily worked button
holes, no loosely knit ankles or cuffs, and best of all
they're always just the same shape and retain their
elasticity until they're worn out, doesn't matter how
often they have been to the laundry.
This is the only place in Polk county carrying this
splendid line.

RETURNED FROM THE EAST
V. 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.,
