Gllfton MiiM Hhow Hnml, In Decision Vacation of Htrrctn In AjiSuhI Concrete Walk r -. ' Contract Ic-t. Whether or not tho city of Bend should grant to E. D. Glleon a fran chise permitting him to bring water from Spring river to llond for muni cipal and domestic uses, wan the question which occupied the greater part of tho council's tlmo last night at tho first meeting of the month. Tho matter came up when tho ordl nnnco bill carrying the franchise was read for the second tlmo, and ques tions by Councilman E. L. Payne brought explanations from R. S. Hamilton, attorney for Mr. Cllson. Mr. Payne's objections to granting tho franchlso wero that there bad been no assurnnco that financial support would bo nvallablo to make posslblo fulfilment of the terms of the contract, and that tho city la now gottlng good service and an abund ance of gormless water from the Dond Water, Light & Power Co., tho present franchlso holder. Mr. Ham ilton bu gested In answer, that com petition might result In oven better service and that it would bo easy to safeguard the city by adding a time limit clauso tp the franchlso. auto matically revoking the; permission to do business In caBe construction work were not pushed to a certain point within a tlmo limit to be speci fied. OilKon Munt Show Hund. Councilman McPhorson questioned the advisability of granting a fran chise until tho financial resources of tho petitioner could bo more clearly dotonnlncd, and Councilman Rhodes doubtod tho wisdom of allowing fro public nervlco corporations In tho city, sotting forth tho theory that Jhero Is not enough business fur more than ono, and that with two attempting operation, tho quality f sorvlco glvon would suffer, Instead pt being bottorcd. $?' Councilman Benson believed in granting the franchise, with n tlmo limit clauso attached, and predicted hnt competition might hasten muni cipal ownership. Mayor Kasto ad mitted that he considered city owner ship and mnnagumont to bo deslra bio, and that this might come within another five years, but that It would bo much less oxpenslvo for llond to take over ono water system Instead of two. Tho discussion was ended by a motion by Mr. McPherson pro viding that tho ordinance bo tabled until tho next regular meeting, by which tlmo, Mr. Gilson will bo expect ed to have shown to tho council (Continued on page 6.)

"Ahova all, don't.) LARGE CROWDS ATTEND MIXER ON LABOR DAY COUNTRY AND CITY JOIN FORCES. PROSPERITY IS SEEN Boclnl Side of Day Enjoyed by Mere Than a Thousand, nud Ad dresses of Interest to Farmers Given. More than 1000 farmers and their families gathered Monday on Tumalo Island at the first aa nual Fanner-Danker mixer. They camo with lunch baskets filled with homo-cooked delicacies and enjoyed them under the abundant shade during tho noon hour. Tho party was successful In every particular. For ono day the fanner laid aside his work, even as busy as he Is at this time, to intermingle with his friends and neighbors. Ono thing was evident In talking with moro than a score of farmers, and theso farmers with whom con versation was held are tho average of tbo fanners who reside in Ces tral Oregon. There were ae grouches. There were no hard luck stories about crops. There wero no disparaging remarks about tho country. Every farmer had a look of prosperity. Ilia family, those who are fortunate enough te be In this class, were well clothed, and apparently well fed. It was ap parent that prosperity In varying degrees prevails in Central Oregon because few were the farmers at tbo big picnic who did not come In their own automobiles. Every farmer, htawlfe and h!a family reomed to be happy and satisfied tho Mother Nature had been good to him this year In bringing to ma turity tbo best and biggest crop he has ever bad in this county. One other feature waa evident. There was good feeling. Everywhere was to bo seen handshaking and .well wishing. Interest of one man In 'the crops and conditions of bis neigh bor. It was evident, too, that there was not a waning of the neighbor hood got-togother spirit which has bco so pronounced with the Central Oregon fanner. Mixer Well Worth Willie. -r The Farmer-Danker mixer had no otbor motive than to get the farm ers and bankers together on a so cial basis. If thq men and women who attended this gathering re ceived no other benefits than cewe through social intercourse, the mixer was highly successful in the fulfillment of ts alms. It cannot (Continued on Last Pngo) make the mistake of thinking that extra water will take the place of cultivation," ha said. Mr. BramweH was in attendance at the Banker-Fanner mixer on 'La bor day, and at tho Commercial club luncheon this noon, commented nprovlngly on tho get-ogothor spirit manifested by the business men and farmers, Ho advised that greater attention bo paid to potato culture, and de clared that Deschutes county haq a baking potato that should be fea tured with much profit to tho grow er.
