COUNCIL ACTS ON
IMPORTANT MATTERS
The legular monthly meeting of the
city ootincil was held Monday even
lug with Mayor L. N. Hlowers pesid
lug and all tbe members present.
The regular routine business of
tbe council was transacted after
wbiou a committee fromUbe Woman'a
Club consisting of Mrs. il. F. David
son, Mrs. X. J. Cunning and Mrs.
CIibs. Castner were given tbe atten
tion oi tbe couucilmen. The ladies
were resent to urge some action in
reuB'd to cleaning up the flltv streets
in advance of the fruit fair. Ibe
streets tbey said were in an unsightly
condition in a good many planes and
they thought that something ought to
be done to place them in better con
dition before tbe many visitors that
were expected arrived. It was ex
plained to them tbat the city ooul l
tint take any ottloial action in regxid
to having the streets cleaned as there
were no foods for tbat purpose. A
resolution however was passed in
struoting tbe c.i'y marshal to notify
poperty owneis to cloan up in front
of their places and it s expected that
they will take pride In doing so.
On motion tbe aiireemeot which
was reached with the Colombia Bridge
Cuuipuuy at a special meeting was
ratified. .1 be istecuieot is lo tb
effect tbat tbe bridge company will
complete tbe bridge lo aooordance
with tbe specifications at the contract
price and that tbe extra work tbat it
Is neoessary to do will be done by tbe
city. Complying with tbe contraot
an oder was issued to tbe company
tor half payment on the bridge a
mounting to about $3,500,
Another matter that engaged the
attention of tbe council and is of in
terest was a deoision in establishing
the street line ou Staoahan avenue.
After a long drawn out oontroveisy
under advice from tbe ctty'a attorney
tbe2tteet line baa been established
in accordant with tbe survey made
for the road by tbe Wasoo (oounty
otllcials After a aearob of tb
record it wa found tbat there la
no other authority for locating a
proper line ior the street. Tbe deci
sion will necessitate tbe moving back
of several of tbe abutting propeities
on the east side of tbe street.

Washington, D. C, Oct. 6. S. A.
D. Puter made two unsuccessful at
tempt to see Secretary Garfield yes
terday with reference to prosecution
ot alleged fraudulent timber land
case in Linn and Lane counties, Ore
gon. Puter came to Washington to
Impress upon the Government au
thorities tbe importance of winning
these cases, for be assert that on
tbe 16 sections of land involved 1
timber worth fl, 500.000. TltU to
this land, according to Puter, wa Il
legally obtained by C. M. Smith, of
Minneapolis. Puter want tho Gov
ernment to engage Francis J. Heney
to take charge of the Government's
case, believing that he alone can have
Smith's title set aaide.
Discussing hi mission to Wash
ington, Puter said;
"Smith, who is worth about $18,
000,000, 1 resisting suits filed a
short time ago and has employed
some of the ablest attorney om the
Coast. I think it would be better
to delay trial than to go Into court
only half prepared. If It is impos
sible to secure Heney'a services, It
would be advisable to secure other
able assistance."
