ADJOURNED SES
SION OF COUNCIL
WATER COMMITTEE MAKES REPORT
Steps Taken to i:talllh Men Urade
on State Street aud Make Other
Street Improvements.
Tbe adjourned uncling of the com
mon council tli-t was neui rriaa;
evening to close up unnnishd busi
ness of Monday erening, was auenu-
eu by the full council, and considera
ble iuipurtsnt tiusmess was transact-
The fire and water committee re
ported tbat it Lad teen Ml. Davidson,
t ttie water company, wno saiu mai
ha would still ask e-'tO.OOO tor tbe
spring, but that if any member of tbe
oounotl could snow him any reason
tor asking less, be would be glad to
ooufer with them, lie also informed
the committee tbat tbe only release
that could be given the city tram tbe
bondholders, would be to aocepc city
bonds at six per cent to the amount
$50,000, place them in a smiting
tund, aud give a release of tbe spring
property by Mr. Oohen as tiustee,
subject to the lights of the individual
boudboldeia.
A. A. Jayue waa present and stated
tbat he had been asked whether sever
al questions oould be submitted to a
vote of tbe people at one eieouou, in
etermine the wishes ot tbe citizens
voting for water bonds, without
invalidating the election of water
bonda. lie said tbat He Dad not uau
time to go Into the mattter fully, tut
waa ot tbe opinion tnat it oouiu ot
done.
Mr. Jayne also stated tbat be bad
been employed to commence a civil
action to settle tbe stieet Hue on
Strauahnu avenue through tbe oourts,
and that in bis opinion there were
seveial ways iu which it could be
one. He thought tbe best plan would
be to briug a suit iu equity, stating
the grounds ot the city iu the com
plaint, and bring action against one
ot the property owners whose build
lug is in the street, according to the
line claimed by the" city. Were this
suit defended on the ground that the
ity was in enor in regard to tee
line, it would bring tbe issue square
on its merits. A deoision ot tbe court,
whether in favor or againtt tbe city,
would determine tbe question and
settle the line, lie said that this kind
of an action would be taken, unless
be found a better way.
Tbe Ore and water committee also
reported that the request of Mr. Dab
ney to build au addition to bis bust
ness property, waa in violation of the
ordinance, aud recommended that it
be not sianted. it waa tne opinion oi
the committee tbat a good many sub
stantial brick blooka weie now being
ereoted in the business section of tbe
town, and it waa hardly in tbe line ot
promotion to encourage tne remouei-
ing ol wooden buildings.
Attorney Dei by waa instructed to
prepare a new pound orainanoe ana
tbe old one will be repealed, as it is
ot nf using in its present much amend
ed state.
The Oregon Lumber Co. served no
tice on tbe oouucil that part ot the
road leading to tbe boat lauding was
on their land, and did not follow the
right-of-way dedicated to the city a
oouple ot years ago, and asked the
oity to have the matter attended to
at once. The matter was referred to
the street comittee.
An ordinance establishing a new
grade on State street passed its first
reading. The ordinance was tbe out
come of a meeting of tbe street com
mittee and propei ty owners on tne
street Friday morniua. in which the
matter of sradina tbe street waa aia
cussed. Ibere waa a difference of
oninion as to the best method of
grading tbe street and especially as to
tbe sidewalk grade ltie majority
want tbe street graded on tbe terrace
plan, aa it will save the property own-
era considerable money, and aa there
is a bis fall aoross the street in places,
It would avoid a out in some places ol
ten to fifteen feet. The oidinanoe as
drown contemplates nearly a straight
line from Second to Ninth stieets,
aud woud make a cut in trout of Ira
man Butler'a property of about seven
feet. Tbe oidinance was referred to
Councilman Watt to Investigate the
matter more fully, get the opinion of
the maioritv of tbe property owners
on the street, and report back to the
council.
Dr. Brosina requested permission to
dump gravel on Ninth strett opposite
his residence, as tnere was a uepres
sion in the street at this point, and
he wished to use the giavel out or tbe
basement of bis business block for
the purpose. The same was granted.
The city englneor was instructed io
furnish Oontractoi iiant with tbe
names and location of the street signs
which be is painting uuder bis con
tract. Revised bide for printing the char
ter and ordinances of the city were
opened. The first bids called for on
ly 125 copies, and tne last inns, ior
500 oopiea, wero as follows ; Aiusley
Prinling Co., 1.50 per psge. JNews
Letter publishing Co., foi the drat
150 pages $2 per page, all in -xcefa of
150 pages. ei.nU per page liwiu uoa-
son Co., til. 90 per page. All the bids
uclude binding ten copies in cloth.
The matter una taken under advise
ment.
A petition sizoed by several ptoper
ty owuen on Oak streo; asked to have
tbe fence built across tne end oi uaa
street torn down and the read filled,
as there Is i nly about. 15 feet of road
at tbe corner. The petition was
granted aud the same was referred to
tbe street commit ee. it was suggest
ed tbat tbe work be done gradually,
aa opportunity presented itself to get
cheap filling material, rather than
force tbe work done at considerable
cont.
Safe Blowers fiet SI 00.
Saturday morning at about '.
o'clock burglar enteied J. '1'. liol
man's meat market on the heights
aud blew open tbo asfe, getting away
with about S100. So far there is no
clue to tbe robbers.
Tbe burglars entered tbe side door.
which was either unlocked, or which
tbey unlocked, as the door was not
broken open. Tbey then unbolted tbe
front door, so as to leave tbe way
clear for a quick escape. They then
drilled a bole through the top of the
aafe, and tbe shot hoisted the salt
door from its hinges. Iracka in tba
road showed tbat they went acroas
tbe read and behind a building until
tb abot was Bred, when they went
back, secured what money and checks
waa in the aafe, took tbe metal cash
box, and departed before any one
thawed up. They were tracked down
Paradise avenue tbe next morning to
tbe railroad track, and it appears tbat
they oame on tbat way. aa their tracks
eould be plainly aeen the next morn
ing, ibe casn box waa aiao round
where they had broken it open. Three
ohecka for small amounts were ee
oured, upon which payment has been
stopped. There waa also In the aafe
purse containing f0, belonging to
another man, which waa placed io the
safe the nigbt before.
the explosion waa heard by many
n the vicinity, but before any one
got out on the atreet tbeie waa no one
in sight. Marshal Danger waa in Tbe
Dalles at tbe time, called there the
uigbt before on aoount of tbe aerioua
illness ot his father, and Watchman
Kinebart waa on duty in tbe business
portion of the oity.
Extension of Snmpter Valley Road. !
That there la something -iut ot the
ordinary now on in connection with
the alfiirs ot tbe Oregon Lumber
company and the Humpter Valley rait
road is a oeitalnty, aaya tbe Sumpter
American, ibe presideut ot those
oouoerns, David l-oolea, recently
spent some days in making a trip over
ibe northern part ot Grant and the
southern part of Umatilla oounty. 11 li
obiet engineer, J. A. West, has since
been In there as have timber cruisers
iu bis pay. It la ourrent tbat men
-re now in tbe Held running linos in
various parts ot that country nndei
Mr. West's direction. The timber
within that belt ia tbe great desider
atum, ot course. Tbat there ia a pos
sibility ot tbe Pendleton-Pllot Kook
branch coming In from tbe north,
may, perhaps have had something to
Jo with present activities.
1 lie ourbstone contingent herea
bouts have been making their guesses
is to what might happeu should hur
ry-up instructions be reoeived foi
ooustruociou by the Sumpter Valley.
One route they could go would be out
to Susanvitle from Austin and then
take to the north. Another, and muob
nearer route, with hardly any heavier
grades, would be via tbia oity and out
over the Mt. Baldy ridge from Cable-
vil'.e.
Oeneral Superintendent Oeddea was
tackled the other day for "inside"
information and he amilingly replied:
"Ves, we are doing something, and
maybe both those loutea might fca
built. Mind you I don't aay that they
will be, but there ia alwayi a pros
pect, you know."

aoross tbe plains, and has not been
back since to tbe scenes of bia young

Oskaloosa and Eddvville, Iowa, and
on bia way home will visit pointa in
Kansas, where be will meet aome of
the old comrades who aooompanied

Occasional headache, belching, bad
taite in the mouth, lack of appetite and
sleight nervousness are symptoms of
indigestion which, when allowed to go
uncared for, will develop into a case of
dyspepsia that will take a long time to
get rid of. Don't neglect your stomach.
At the first indication of trouble take
something that will help it along in its
work of digesting the food you eat.
Kodol for Indigestion and Dyspepsia
will do this. Kodol will make your
food do you good and will enable you to
enjoy what you eat. ttold by Keir &

HOOD RIVER I
APPLlfCROP
ESTIMATED ABOUf 120,000 BOXES
Prices are Conceded Ut be Higher thai
Last Tear and Quality Ia
Evea letter.
While tbia la the off year for an ap
ple crop in Hood Hiver it ia eetlmst
ed tbat tbere will be about 130,000
boxes ot commercial apples, or nearly
aa many aa laat year, ine anoriage
ot tbe Hood River crop ia nol doe to
any adrerae climatic condltiona, but
the tendency of tbe Ligb grade apples
to bear heavy every cu.er year, ito
old bearing treea in tu valley will av
erage about bait aa mauy as laat year,
while tbe large aoreage ol young treea
ooming into bearing tbia year tor tbe
flrat time, will make op the deficien
cy. There are piotably about 1000
acres ot young treea tbat are Just com
ing into bearing, and in tne next two
years tbere will be about 9000 acres ot
bearing orcbarda In tbe valley, moat
of which are Spitzenbergs and -ellow
Newtown.
While the prloea obtained by tbe
onion tbia year have not been given
out it la admitted tbat tbey are high
er than laat year, and tbe more com
mon varietlea have made tbe blggeat
advance. Last year tbe union prioes
for Spitzenbeiga, 4-tler, were 13.25 to
3.15; Newtowna, $1.80 to V2.25; Bald
wins, Jobnatbana, Ben Davi and use
varietlea aold from 85o to 11.25. It
ia aald tbat the market has atlSened
all along the line, and especially tbe
oheaper varietlea.
Ibe interest in uood Kiver is very
significant, when . 23 buyera were on
tbe market for tbe crop. Tbe result
of the prioea obtained at Hood River
thia year will again set the market
price for the country ior nign grade
apples, with Hood River at the t ip.
it la estimated tnat tne uavioion
Fruit Co. will handle close to 100,000
boxes of applea tbia year, aa tbey get
tbe bulk of tbe applea ot the valley.
The Apple Urowera uulou have more
membera thla year than ever, and
while aome ot tbe old membera did
not sign up this year, yet tbe new
membera more than make up tbo
difference. It la thought tbat tbere
will be only about 20,000 boxes out
side ot the orop already contracted
tor by the Davidson Fruit Co. While
tbelr label will so on all boxea ot
their purobaae, yet all the high grade
applea ot the union will be wrapped
in tbe printed wrappers oi tne nnion.
It will be a double advertisement.
On account of tbe oiop being set
thin on tbe old treea, tbe quality will
be improved, tbe alze larger than
with heavily laden treea. Tbe young
treea alio have a tendenoy to bear
large frnit. The condition ot the orop
at present ia excellent. The orchards
have ail bad splendid care, and toe
results will be highly satisfactory in
profits. Those fortunate in having
their orchards oome in toil bearing
thia year, or nearly so, will realize
profits that will make present land
value look obeap.
Tbe extraordinary conditions m tne
eaat tbia year wbiob resulted . in al
most total orop failures in some sec
tions, is oommented upon by one of
tbe eastern apple buyer aa follows:
A oondition obtains in tbe truit
world this year that baa never oo-
ourred in my 30 years' experienoe of
tbe buslneaa. ibe abortage is not on
ly the greatest ever known in tbe ap
pie business, but apples to pears and
peaches aa weli. In every section or
tbe United States and Canada. In
Michigan both tbe peach and apple
orop ia almost a total failure. Illinois
will not have U pel cent oi a orop.
Tbe big apple orop predloted in New
xork has been out down almost one
halt by tbe reoent drouth in tbat
state. There are no apples in Kansas,
and Missouri is experiencing tbe big
gest failure in her history. Think of
Colorado, that last year shipped over
3000 oara of applea from the district
around Urand Junotion alone, witn
but 20 per oent ot a orcp of all kinds
of fruit In tbe entire state. 1 was in
formed at Urand Junotion the moat
rosy veiw of tbe shipment there this
year did not place it at over 600 care.
ibe great peaon growing districts
tbere this year around Paonla. Delta
and Corey have practically nothing to
send to market.
"The inroads of pear blight in Cal
ifornia ruined tbe Bartlett pear orop
there and as you have probably no
ticed baa sent them to a prloe in east
ern marketa never before known. Pear
growera In Oregon will reap a harvest
this year.
"Of all the sections I have traveled
through tbe northwest states are tbe
leas': affected. In Idaho the orop ia
light. It will, 1 think, ship about 200
cars. I expect about the same number
to go from Hood River. Southern Or
egon will ship from 200 to 250. Tbe
Grande Ronde valley and the Walla
Walla district will put out a fair
amount of fruit, and of better quality
tban 1 have ever aeen there. Yakima,
I have estimated, will furnish about
400 to 450 oara and Wenatobee, Cash
mere, Toppenish, tbe Okanogan coun
try and other pointa in Washington
aa many more. Some pointa in Brit
ish Columbia will have considerable
frnit.
"In all I estimate the Paolflo north
west at about 2000 cars. This is, of
oourae, far abort ot what it abould be
tbia year, and I think about 60 per
oent of last year's yield. Ho you see,
oompaied to other sections, Hood
River and other points in tbe north
west have a good orop.
"It will, of oourse, be necessary for
every big firm to endeavor to get
some fresh fruit to hold its trade and
I have met more buyers in this coun
try this year tban ever before. Once
tbe market adjusts itself, however, I
do not think prices will be higher
tban tbey are right now."
Tbe way to get rid of a cold, whether
it be a "bad" cold or just a little one, is
to get it out of your system through tbe
bowels. Nearly all Cough Cures, espec
ially those that contain opiates, are
constipating, Kennedy's Laxative Cough
Syrup contains no opiates and acta gent
ly on the bowels. Pleasant to take.
