JThe ordinance providing for the hold ing of a special election for the pur ple of revotmg a $'.'0,000 found, from the proceeds of which a municipal water sstem will be installed, had its final passage at an adjourned meeting "f the city council '1 net-day night, and the date for the election has heen set f'-r Monday, July 1. The council de .fire to hasten as much as possible the intion in this matter of the installa tion of the waterworks and begin the actual work of construction this fall, i Indeed, it is now hoped that the work , u ill begin l'.V Septen her 1.

'J he plant should be nearly completed h) the end of the year. i lie nayor an I members of the ctiy council have e.xpiessed the desire that every qualified vt ter attend t-o poles the day of the special election hi d as sist in iiuthorir.nuf the bond issue. It is well known'thut the great weight of sent miei.t is favorable ai.d has lonp heen demanding a more aileiniute water system. The bond issue would he h gaily uuthorized by u very small vote. However, if the existing senti ment is properly expressed, it will place the bond Jhuyers in a mure favor able attitude of mind and the negotia tions piccedirg the construction may be closed up with more alacrity. At the Monday night meeting of the council a resolution was passu! author izing: the advertisement for sale of $:;r,U00 water bonds. This sum will be used in curing for the WHirai ts issued in pa ment cf the water system se cured from the Pacific Power & Light Co. through condemnation proceedings. A letter was received by the city re corder trom the Urtgon Koad uiling Co., which was read to the members of the council assembled Monday night and which stated that this linn would be ready to begin the oiling; of the business strerts and portions cf Oie most frequently used sheets of the residence district this week. It whs decided thai the Twelfth sheet oiling should be done at the same time. This latter weik, however, will be cared for by the general fund instead of through an assessment en the property wners. these citizens having been heavily taxed tiy former improvements on the street. The total expense of the Twelfth street oiling will be approxi mately $'.V2u.

A communication was received from the Home Telephone Co. asking that it and the Hood liiver tins & Kleclric Co. be allowed to make use of the sntne pole at the Northwest corner ol 1 bird and Cascade. Dr. Kdgington, in a long report, slated that a number of unsanitary conditions in the city should rect ive the attention of the council. Dr. I'ldg ingtoh stated that the streets where horses are hitched for long periods every day, should be swept frequently. The Moore Keed Yard, heMcclare.i, was unsanitary, horses standing there in stalls with only earth bottoms. The health ollicer biought up the problem of installing a larger outfall sewer pipe. He urged thaL the council take immediate action to begin this work. The old pipe has become filled with the fibrous -roots of the cotton woods growing in the lowlands, and us the high water recedes the s:ewage is flowing into the bottom north of the O.-W. K. & N. station and creating a horrible stench, which the physician declares will menace health. The council, Hf ler an investigation, found that the city has a deed to an easement across the lowlands, crossed by the outlet sewer. Tiiis deed, how ever, contains a clause specifying that the sewer shall be below the suiface of the soil and that it shall extend straight out from Kirst street to the river. At present the sewer is raised above the surface at this end and swerves from the straight line us it approaches the river. 'Inehualth and sewer committee w;is instructed to hasten the work of installing a larger outlet sewer. RECENT ACTIONS OF and camp outfit to Wallula, Wash., where they launched the little craft in the river. The entire trip to thia city was made on the waters of the Colum bia, exeept the portage around the dalles from Celilo to The Dalles. "We have enjoyed our outing; ex tremely, said Mr. dore, who with his bride left here Monday for the remain der ot the journey down the river to the Washington town. "Although we had our camp outfit alonR, we have not needed to use it, having landed always at some town on the river bank. The only uncomfortable time we had was above 1 he Dalles, when a rain struck us. We took our canoe from the water and tried to make a shelter Ly turning it over us. However, it was better to don our mackintoshes and proceed down the stream." Mr. (iore is an attorney at Kalama and has long heen an enthusiastic can- oist on the river at that point.

Fourteen automo bile owners have been arrested for ex ceeding the speed limit of 10 miles per hour.

The numerous arrests that have been made have aroused the ire on the part of a number, who declare that warn ings should be issued before a strict enforcement of the law, which the ; officials have been lax in maintaining until the machines were timed at the beginning- of lust week. People living on the Heights urged the enforcement of the law, declaring that the speed of many curs along the principle street in that section of the city endangered the lives of children living there. One uf the peculiarly funny situations of the speeding arrests whs the cuse of Coun cilman J. E. Robertson, who voted for the rule and who was among the first to ft el its tired.

Morris, it is declared, is an exemplary lalsirer and is toiling with a will on tne highway. He spent the first few days on the regular pick and shovel gang, but because of bis williugne-s ami intelligence he has been added to F.n- gineer .Murray Kay's surveying gang The work on the road is progressing rapidly. Adam Shortgen, accompanied by one of the prisoners, a skilled steuni shovel man, was at Dee Sunday to in spect a steam shovel near there owned by the Mount Hood U. R.
