FIRE COSTS A
FIVER.
Breaking
First Pino Is Imposed for
City Ordinance.
At a hearing before City Recorder
Hill on Monday A. M. Lara was
fined $5. for breaking section 17 of
ordinance 13, which forbids the
lighting of n bonfire within too
feet of a building. The complaint,
sworn out by Policeman Chapman,
showed the fire to have been lit In
the rear ol Lam's store on August
16, nftcr Mr. Lara hud been warned
by the officer.
The offender was let off with the
minimum fine inasmuch as this
was the first offense under the
ordinance prosecuted and because
his action cleat ly resulted from for-
Setfulness. Imprisonment and a
ne of $300 or less may be Imposed.
Last Wednesday Charles Kart
ell (T was fined $5 on a charge of
drunkeness.
That the troubles of the Deschutes Irrig-it(6n 8c Power Company
have been adjusted and development work will be resumed within 30
day Is the wclome new brought to Hind by Fred S Stanley, who
was vice president of the corporation All the conflicting interests have
gotten together and agreed upon a titan of action The gist of the mat
ter is that the total capital stock of the corporation, $2,500,000, i to
be wiped out and count no longer as an oblig-ition of the company,
and the Howard contract is totally eliminated. The creditors of the
corporation wilt bid iu the properly to be sold under foreclosure of first
mortgage bonds. Starting thus with a clean sheet, it is found easy
to get money to carry on the reclamation work and forces will be put
at once cotiMtructing additional canal and ditches and marketing the
lauds, The entire business is expected to be out of the hands of the
court within 30 days.
For the present it is arranged that the enterprise shall be conducted
by a committee representing all interest. J. II. Farnham, manager of
theuig contracting concern of J. G. White & Co , New York, J. G
Addison, representing the Ohio bondholders, and Jeosc Stearns, repre
senting the Portland creditors, will probably constitute this committee,
though no formal appointment has yet been made. Receiver Red field
will probably resume his former position as engineer of the company iu
the field. No local manager has yet been selected, and many other de
tails have not yet been settled. Hut it is definitely announced that the
career of the old company is ended, the water is squeezed out of the
concern and a new organization will carry the big project forward to
completion.
Mr. Stanley is quoted as saying that $4,000,000 will be spent in
Improvement work und that the darning of the Deschutes just north
of town and construction of the North Canal to water approximately
50,000 oditional acres soon will be undertaken.
