It was intended that a meeting should be held Toes.hiv evening. However, a failure cure a quorum prevented it. The ho- pointment of a sunerintemlent of tl, city water plant rests as it was left bv a recommendation fmm fh. c;,.. and Water committee at the meting vi me i-uuncii me previous week. The members ot that committee thought it advisable not to take any debute actiou on the matter until the situa tion was thoroughly studied. At pre sent Miss I.ucile Johnson'with an oflice established in the First National Hank building has charge of the collections under the supervision of Recorder Langille. The center of interest in mu municipal matters now is the coming general election, the date of which is Tuesday, December 5. Because of the fact that a notice of thirty days by publication must be made of the primary election, this has become impossible, and nominations by peti tion, which is nermithul iH.,i.,r n... charter, will have to be made of the ollicers. Ihe matter jof Jthe election has been resting very quietly. More interest seems (o have been expressed on the Heights than in any other part of the city. A meeting was held there Friday evening, 'when a straw vote was taken to find the sense of nuhlie opinion as to nominations for ollicers to till the vacancies. The result of the vote was the following slate: F. M. Klavin. A. C. Staten W l ri,.,i. and J. M. Wood for councilmen : II. It Langille for recorder; and E. O. lilanchar for treasurer. Iliuimnr it was-renorted vesleniuu that all r,f tim above selected men had been inter viewed and all seemed to be reluctant as to aeceiitinir nominations. In order to further discium tlm matter a second tneetinir of the Heights citizens will be lill at il, Hoiman Halt nevt Tnsduu uvu,.i.... ..

While none of the rotirinu cnnmiL men, Wright, Howe, Early and Robert son, have positively refused to become candidates for re-election, all are re luctant to enter the field, because of other pressing business matters. He cause of the fact that all of them have become so familiar with the nrohletns of the city's improvement, which they have caused to progress very succcess- luny, it nus ueen suggested that ull of them be uersuaded to I lei'imu nan. didates for re-election, in order that , the city may have the benefit of the ' understanding of the situation that they have acquired and their assistance in the completion ot the municipal water system. COLUMBIA SCENERY REAUHFIIL IN FALL Always beautiful, the seenerv alum the Columbia river between Portland and Hood Kiver is never more gorgeous than in the fall of the year. The' frosts of the season have touched the leaves ,f the little dwarf,,.! vi,,,. mantes and the fnliarr,. nf II,., r,,,i,,,, oak, the latter of which because of its handsomeness and similarity to the maple is often disastrous to the unwary sseeker for autumn leaves. They have turned golden, crimson and dozens of other colors. All mingle with the green of fir trees and moss covered boulders and the lieht hrown urunnpn and dying weeds and the cold gray of the erai8. The llicture thev form ia one that is noted by the passengers of the O-W. R. & N. Co. The gorgeous display of a prodigal nature makes the Apple City-l'oithind trip a pleasure never to be forgotten.
