LONGSTON AND COUNCIL AGREE City Council G rant Balance of W ork to Local Man as He First Bid It MAYOR JOHNSON MEDIATOR Finds Common Ground Upon W hich Both Could Meet “Two men may have a difference of opinion and each of them be strictly honest,” said Mayor Johnson at the council meeting last Wednesday night when the discussion between the mem bers of the council and W. J. Longston of the Longston Construction company threatened to break the bounds of a gentlemanly argument. The only sensible thing to do in such an event is to talk it over in a business like way and to arrive at an agreement with the least possible trouble, was the gist of Mayor Johnson’s talk following the above statement. Mr. Johnson’s suggestion was followed an d after somewhat lengthy deliberation a reso lution was passed, giving Mr. Longston the contract for that portion of the work which had been in dispute, name ly the lowering of sewer laterals, the laying of culverts and the building of bulkheads, at practically the figures named in the Longston Construction company’s bid. The culverts and bulk heading were accepted on the basis of cost plus 10 per cent, as designated in the bid, and the lowering of sewer lat erals at Mr. Longston’s bid of 30 cents for four inch and 45 cents for six inch, up to the amount of the engineer's es timate for the entire work of such low ering or $465. Any excess of this amount to be paid for at the engineer’s estimate of 12 cents and 15 cents re spectively. The street matter was brought up by Councilman 0. C. Sanford as soon as the council had met and disposed of the routine business at hand, including the authorization of warrants for the pay ment of the regular monthly bills 0. K’d by the finance committee. In reply to a question from Mr. San ford, Recorder Lawrence said that Mr. Longston had been notified that the contract was ready for his signature, but as yet Mr. Longston had not signed it. A motion was put by C. W. Gard ner that the necessary steps be taken to force Mr. Longston to sign or for feit his surety of about $1200. It then developed that Mr. Longston had not been notified until Saturday afternoon and the law gave him five days. Mr. Gardner withdrew his resolution and a discussion of the affair followed which came to a halt when Mayor Johnson came in with his suggestion that the council and Mr. Longston find a common ground upon which they could agree. Ordinances providing for the assess ment of Henry, Thitd an d Elliott streets were passed, no objections to the same having been filed. A report of partially completed work by Moon & Gidley was handed in by City Engineer Henderson. Upon this work he stated the contractors were entitled to 80 per cent of its value. As notices had to be posted for five days before the money was paid the matter was continued to the next meeting. Among the other business passed upon by the council was an ordinance providing for the sale of the old city hall site to J. E. Norton, and a bill presented by C. D. Hudson for Dr. Richmond for repair work done on the sewer at the hospital was laid over for further consideration. more sensible modern method of meet ing upon the common ground of broth erhood “to talk it over.” Sure Roads to Prosperity It is quite natural that definite meth ods for making a million dollars should be disclosed to the public by one of the directors ot a large advertising agency, who in the course of a speech pointed out the sure roads to prosperity. Here they are: A new automobile fuel cheaper than gasoline, or in its absence some new way of creating power, fur nishing puncture proof and anti skid tires; a non-leakable fountain pen with a lot of other improvements; a new process for a moth-proof wardrobe; an automatic rug beater that gets along without arm-strong power; a window screen that is as handy as a window shade; a window shade bracket that will not damage the window casing and one which can be easily removed; anew style of men’s collars without the ne cessity for buttons and the choking left out; a method of supplying the market with the means of using carrot flakes, the beauty food of nature. Tests for Jars for Canning The following tests are suggested by the Office ot Extension Work, North and West, S ates Relations Service, to determine if jars are de fective for canning purposes; Screw top jars — ( i j Place top on jar without the rubber. Turn down tight. If the thumb nail can be in serted betv'een top and glass, the top is usually defective. ( 2 ) Place rubber and cap in position and screw down lightly.’ Pull rubber from position; release. If the rub ber returns to position between top and jar, the top is defective. Glass-top jars.—( 1 ) Place glass top on jar without rubber. Tap with finger around the outer edge of the top. If the top rocks it is defective. ( 2 ) Wire bail placed over the top of cover should go in with a snap, even when tightening Ever or clamp spring is up. If it does not, remove bail from tighten ing lever and bend to make tight. This tightening of bail should be done every year. ............------------------------- May Lose Allowance A Portland dispatch says; Oregon voters will have to decide next Novem ber whether to stick to the present “two-quart” law for a while longer or make prohibition absolute by prohibit ing the importation of any liquor into the state.

A suggestion was made by the bidders that the sale proceed under the auction plan. To this the county court refused to agree stating that the law provided that sealed bids only be re ceived. Following is a list of bidders and the premiums offered by them: Clark Kendall Co., Portland. .$13,915.61 Lumberman’s Trust Company Portland................................ 10,860.00 E. H.

This loss amounts to approximately $6000. The legality of the procedure author izing the bond issue is to be passed on by the attorney of a reputable eastern bonding house, this taking the plan of a friendly test case in court. All the bids filed were conditional upon a fav orable opinion being rendered. Autoists Have Close Call J. D. Benham and family, of Fairview escaped death by a narrow margin Sat urday on the Fairview mountain, four miles north of this city. While back ing his Studebaker car on one of the steep grades, the driver sent the wheels too near the edge of the bank and they slipped over, the brakes refused to hold and the car dashed backward down the steep hillside for at least fifty feet, tearing a path thru the tangle of brush. Why it did not overturn is a mystery to everyone that was in it. It landed with a crash against a couple of small logs, jarring the occupants considerably but stopping their wild flight. The car was not injured to any great extent and the Benham family feel very fortunate in deed. It is a hundred feet or more to the bottom of the gorgj and but for the small logs being in the car’s course, it is hard to tell how the ride would have ended. It was necessary to secure the services of a team to get the car back on the road. A Ford car can usually pull off a stunt like the Benham car did and get away with it, but it’s very sel dom an automobile can. for Tia Juana WERE CAMPED AT SAN DIEGO Full Regiment of Oregon Sol diers There ed to Arago.
