A. petition egme in to have something done with tin* water standing on Hull street. The city will reduce the amount of water or per haps the section may be declared a lake resort and pleasure boats in stalled. A communication from Dr. Stricker, of the state health board, was read, and the council voted to place our city in the first class as to health condi- t ion*. Various reports wyrp received, among them an interesting one from the fire mandial. During IkMvmber only two alarm# were tamed in and in neither instance was the damage more than a few dollars. A noticeable feature was that although cunditions were fa vorable, not a single fire was reported to mar tbe Christmas holidays. A committee of West Side orchard- ista with 8. G. Oxborrow aa spokes man, visited the council, requesting an expression from the body in regards to tbe proposed West Side market road through the Paradise acreage. The matter was discussed at some length, atid it was decid<<d that the street committee secure further rights-of- way prices and tbe counril meet with the county court in an endeavor to get together on the pro|s*sitlon. A committee from the Heights came before the aiderman asking police pro tection for their section. They cited instances of robberies and attempted robberies, stating that they felt they were Badly in need of police service at night. The council instructed the police committee to give the matter attention and endeavor to give the Heights section some manner of night protection. E. A. Sparks, Ray Sam uel and B. L. Van Ciaa presented the Councilman Young stated that the old fire bell tower was becoming a menace inasmuch as it was frequently run into by autoa and suggested that the bell be transferred to the city hall. He declared that the lot should be cleaned up and used for the city equip ment which- la scattered. The sugges tion seemed to meet with approval and the matter waa referred to the proper committee for action. It was unanimously voted that the city go on record as favoring the bridge road going under the O.-W. R. 4 N. bridge, and that the county court be apprised of this fact and requested to consider this road. W. L. Clark, city engtneer and water supervisor, tendered hi* resignation, but the councilmen voted not to accept the resij¡snatlog. They also voted to buy the lighting apparatu* used oa the community Christmas tree, the belief being expressed that another tree would be in evidence next Christmas time. Ond of the most Interesting wrest- I ling card* ever staged here was put on I at the K. of P. hall Saturday night. I Despite the-fact that 100 ticket* were I refunded to Japanese a good crowd I waa present and it wasn't long until I it was about the most enthusiastic I crowd imaginable. The match was I to have been of three event*, any I <>ne of them headliner*, but almost at I the last moment Prof. Takahashi. I champion jlu jltsu wrestler, wired, I "Sorj-y. Cnable to come. Pardon me." I He waa matched with John McKenxie. I of Oakland, and bad agreed to explain Jlu Jltau wrestling to the fan*. The Japanese contingency is not at *11 pleased with tbe professor's renigging. I and have written him urging an earlf I match here. It ie expected that he will lie seen here soon. Henry Jones, of Provo, Utah, welter weight world champion, reckoned with out his host when he agreed to throw any three men of his clans within an hour. Jones is a good man, and Fri day night had defeated Robin Reed at Albany. However, Al Brown, of Tex as. who met him first, waa made of India rubber, ana it took Jones 43 minute* to put him on the mat. Jone* got several dandy holds, but Brown appeared not to have a bone in his body and would wriggle out. Jonea dually got him with a toe hold. It [was a wicked toe hold, too. Both men were fast workers. George Lester was second on the mat and Jone* went after him with a determination, but Tweeter was a surprise to everyone, showing more strength than it was thought he possessed. He was not aggressive, a* waa Jonea, but he sure had the staying power and was still unbeaten at the end of the hour limit Young Lester is a former boxer and gives promise as a future wrestler, with further training. Thia three-man liout was promoted by Art I m Chapelle, former welterweight champion of Can ada. who waa to have been third man. | but owing to Lester’* Maying qualities is still looking for a bout. The big event waa tbe match between Rood River’* Durable Dane, Fred Mor tensen. Rill Thornton, of Vancou ver, light* heavyweight champion of Canada. Thornton is ■ clean wrestler, and it was a pleasure to see him work with Mortanssih who has the reputa tion of being one of tbe cleanest sjxirt* on the Pacific coast. Mortensen sur prised even his most enthusiastic back ers, coming through with quick action and good holds. Thornton wss equally The prohibition fund of the «tnt» la lined solely to defray expenses of pro hibition officer* and by the district attorney* and sheriff* in obtaining evi dence of liquor violations.
