The boy was terrible excited when
he reached town and his story of the

The popular supposition amine

ACTED BY COUNCIL.
City election, at which will -e
chosen a mayor, recorder and three
ccuncilmen, has been set for June 21.
This was the decision reached by tne
Council at the regular meeting, Wed
nesday evening. The ordinance as it
passed, also set May 31 as the date
for the ward and general caucuses,
but an attempt la being made to
change this date to Juno 1st The
High School commencement exercises
have been set for the. evening of May
31 and, as the invitations and pro
grams for that are all out, it would
be impossible to change.
Besides Mayor Topping and Re
corder Kausrud, ,the retiring officers
whose places are to be filled are
Councilmen Dippel and Pape, Intho
West Ward, and F. J. Chatburn, in
the East Ward.
Officials for the election will be,
follows:
East Ward; judges, E. Dyer, S. Mun-
dy and Nora Neilson; clerks, Wm. Mu
vity and Geneva A. Byrne.
West Ward; judges, Chrisr Rasmus
sen, Mary E. Walker and C. F. Lor-
enz; clerks, W. S. Littlefield and Guy
Dippel.
One of the important matters to
l some up" at the meeting .Wednesday
.light, was that, of the cost of lighting
tho city. Mayor Topping brought
the matter up and stated that he
had carried on quite an extensive cor
respondent with other clues regard
ing tho cost of lighting and he had
found that other cities having about
the same conditions we have here, ire
-aying less than Bandon. After
sr ma. discussion the problem was re
fcrcd to a committee, which will in-
I wttlgate and report.
I When a committee from tho KnlghM
' Pythias lodge .made known then
juircu mat wie iuuk must win unu
plaster the addition which it content
plates building to the east side of its
hall, a lively discussion started.
Chris. Rasmussen also mentioned the
fact that the ordinance required that
he lath and plaster tho inside 'of the
corrugated iron garage building,
which he Js building on East First
street. This talk brought up the re
port of the committee recently ap
pointed to investigate tho fire ordi
nance and it wassfound that the re-
Iort favored the repeal of the ordi
nance. Tho objections to repealing
were heated and a compromise vreo
reached, whereby blocks 2 and 3 of
Woodland Addition were included in
the warehouse district The lodge
nnd Mr. Rasmussen got the permits

None of the candidates who wtre
unopposed on the ballot were in any
way endangered by tho "dark horsj"
candidates whose names were written
in.
In the four Bandon and Two Mile
l.recincU the majorities favored the
?ame candidate! as did the county
majority, in most caeea. There wire
some exceptions, however. Miller,
for District Attorney received n plu
rality of 20 votes here and Liljeqvist
ran a bad third. Shields was given
the majority of tho Republican votes
cast for sheriff and Johnson was in
the lead here for Coroner. Conrld
ering the number' of registered voters
in this section, the number of ballot!
cast Friday was exceptionally light,
only a few over 460 peoplo going to
the polls.
For the office of justice of thi
peace and constable for this district,
there were no candidates up on oithe -
the Democratic or Republican ticket);,
and numerous different names wera

justice of the peace, was re-nominat

for justice and Fred Fejger's frlenJ I
