MUCH BUSINESS ILK
BEFORE COUNCIL MAY
AS REIGN WANES OF I
The life of the present city ad
m in tet rut lull Is nearlng un end with
the approach of tho new year, and
while the city council meeting for
next Tuesday night will he the last
regular one for that body, at least
two more special meetings will
probably be held to close up the
affairs of the present administra
tion, as on January (J next the new
mayor, K, M. Wilson, and the new
city council will nssumc office.
In fact thero Is such tt large prist
of city business already ahead that
the meeting Tuesday night will be
divided into two sessions, tho one
of that night adjourning over to
Wednesday evening.
This Is because most of the city
officials desire to attend the Mes
siah oratorio, to bo presented by
local talent at the Holly theater
Tuesday evening and It would be
impossible for the council to trans
act all present pending business in
time to attend the oratorio.
Therefore the city council ses
sion will be convened at 7 o'clock
that evening, instead of at 7:30,
the TjHutil hour, and the city fath
ers .will :transact business for one
hour, and adjourn the meeting
over until Wednesday evening.
Even if nil. pending business is
completed on those two evenings
it Is expected that additional busi
ness arising between that time and
January 6th will necessitate two
special meetings.
"One of the landmarks In tho
llellvlew district for many years,
the A. C. Joy peach orchard, is
being pulled out." says the Ash
land ' Tidings. "This orchard was
wet out nearly 50 years ago by tho
late Chas. Loomls. Mr. Loomls as
a boy helped to clear tho land and
set out the trees,
"The orchard is almost the old
est commercial peach orchard In
the valley. During the last 20
odd years that Mr. Joy has owned
the orchard there has been but one
total failure of crop, three partial
failures of 50 per cent or less. Mr.
Joy estimates that ho has harvest
ed close to 1000 tons of peaches
from the orchard. Ilufu.s King, an
other old IJellvieu' resident, pruned
the trees for tho last 'JO years.
"The fruit was practically all of
the Muir variety. ,
"To see these old, well known
trees uprooted will be the loss of
one of the well known landmarks
of the early settling and planting
In the IJellview district."

Charles .Vuhss. Jr., the little boy

tl of or life sine othe first of June,
when his eyes looked upon a dark
world which has never brightened,
is critically ill at tho home of his
parents, Mr. and Mis. Chus. Xahsfl
of the Crater Lake highway.
No improvement in his condition
was reported this afternoon and It
U feared that the tumor on his
brain, which robbed him of his
eyesight last summer, will rfib him
of his life.
I All efforts of local physicians
i and northern specialists have fail
led to 'restore his eyesight or re
move tho tumor from his brain.
The little boy returnd to his
home near Mod ford, a .short time
ago when specialists at the Doern-
I becker hospital in Portland an
j mm need that it would be impos

Kor weeks he maintained his
I cheerful attitude toward life and
continued with numerous forms of
'modeling clay and other work pre

some time.

"Tom Sawyer" is tho kind of

FANNY WINS WASHINGTON
PANNY took to the luxury ot
Juliette's home like a cat to
cream, but slio never got over the
thrill oC bavins her bath drawn and
scented, her breakfast thought to
her bedside.
"Mr. Chamberlain told me last
nig lit that 1 was as ethereal as
marsh-mist ho ought to see mo
now." grinned Fanny ouo morning
as she was pouring thick yellow
cream on her oatmeal. "1 suppose,
darling Juliette, that It's a bit gross
to enjoy food so much but not at
a party. Ouo is supposed to have
a good time at a party. Ann It s
always a party to havo breakfast
la bed."
No debutante ever had
Their first days wcro spent In
an orgy ot shopping. David recent
ly bad made 91,000 on the stock
exchange and given half of It to
Fanny. Juliette suggested that she
take charge of this that Bhe was
a better bargainor than Fanny: but
she never asked tho price ot any
thing, and bought, and bought until
Fanny protosted: Jullotte laughed
and went on buying.
Fanny knew David would not like
Iter to accept clothes from his cou
sin; but what could she do? She
couldn't hurt Juliette's feelings, and
tho things were so lovely, and any
way David didn't know what
women's clothes cost.
On the third evening of Her stay
Juliette gave a dinner tor 40, with
olliora In to dance.
Tho afternoon was glorious, and
Fanny itched to be out In the sun

at home and rest. At 5 Alicia. Juli

ut 3, as Fanny went down tho stairs
to Join Jullotto In the drawing room
she caught slfclit of herself In a long
gilt pier glass In the lowor hall nnd
knew for the first time that she was
beautiful.
She was wearing n simply cut
frock of cream colored sntln and
Jullotlo's pearls and quaint old
paste buckles on her satin slippers.
Allda had pulled her hair straight
back and colled It cunningly In a
great burnished knot that seemed
almost too heavy for hor slender
