A h Drew Dawson and Hubert Smith Bond Buyers Claim they Already Have a Contract with the Citv- and bis wife had circulated reports re flecting upc n the character of Prof. H. Does not Agree to Pay Par E. Whitney, the Board of Directors for the City Bonds The water commission had a private meeting on Thursday evening in regard to Engineer Chase's plans and speciuca- lions for the proposed new’ water sys tem and in the action of the city council in passing an ordinance to its third read ing, which negotiated for $45.00) bond ed indebtedness with the interest to com- rn.-nce on the 2nd of January. After the commission had gone through the speci fication and ordinance, it instructed Mr, B. L. Eddy to draw tip a number of amendments and adjourned until the next afternoon, when they weretakm up. The commission emphatically ob jected to the city council disposing of $4-5,000 of bonds, and to draw interest on the 2nd of January, when the money would not be required tor six mouths or more provided a new system was put in The commission was in favor ot entering into a contract wi»h the bond buyers on the understanding that if the city decided to put in a water ¡»ystem the bonds were to be taken up when the money was re quired, and not before. As the water rights, where it was proposed to locate the intake on the Killam creek had not been obtained, neither the rights of wav for the p'pe line, the commission sugg< t ed the.t this be attended to at once. The most important question the commis sion was up against was the material to be used in the pipe line. Some of the commissioners are decidedly opposed to putting in a 14 guage steel pipe, while others thought it was all right, as the engineer had recommended it. It was, however, decided to recommend two other kinds of pipe in the specifications one of the commissioners remarking that if that was not changed he wanted to get off the com nission, “for he'd rather be the contractor than a banker with a graft l»ke that in the specifications.’’ All the recommendations that were submit ted were carried with the exception of one, that relating to the mention of buy ing out the old water system. After President Colin had stated that he had asked Mr. Cooper what the old system could be bought for, he thought $7,000 was out of their reach, and Mr. Thayer saying the system would have to play out ot itself, no objection was raised as to leaving out all mention of the old company. The commission recoin mend- el a number of other changes along the lines suggested above, and the President, B. L. Eddv and M. F. Leach were ap- pointed to lav the commission's desires before the city council that evening. There was quite an interest taken in this meeting. After the recommendations had been read, Councilman Chase moved that they be adopted. Mayor Talmage looked ill at ease at thesudden turn mat ters had taken to thwart the effort to saddle the citv with a bonded indebted ness and a large amount of interest to pay before the money was required, and he did not help his position bv complain ing about the commission not doing any. thing, when it was well known that nei ther the city council nor the commission could do anything until Engineer Chase had handed in his report. The mayor said the bond buyers had prepared the ordinance which the citv council had partly acted upon. The city council de ci (led to submit the recommendations to the bond buyers before they incorporated them, so adjourned until Thursday so as the get a reply. A reply was received from the bond buyers on Thursday, and it is putting it mild in saving that some of the members of the water commission are thoroughly disgusted. The bond buyers claim they already have a contract with the citv to take the Lords, and the only modifica tion they will agree to is that the entire amount of bonds must be taken up on the 1st of March and the interest will commence from them. Another thing that was a surprise to the commission, and will be as big a surprise to the citi zens, the bond buyers does not even agree to pay par for the bonds, which was one of the stipulations the water commission wanted incorporated in the ordinance and which the bond buyers now object to. The water commission held a meet ing Thursday afternoon mid took the matter. Mr. Eddv protested nt such un. busii c s-like transactions in the negotia tion and disposal of the bonds and bind ing the citv up to the bond buyers with out the consent of the water commission. He was so disgusted that he did not want to remain a meml»er of the water commission, so resigned us a member, for he would not stand for such “rotten’’ transactions. All the water commis sion’s recommendations, which safe guarded the citv, have been turned down in favor of the bond buyers. The city council meet the same evening mid agreed, by resolution and ordinance, to accept the bond buyer’s conditions tor $45,000 worth of bonds, thus closing another chapter in the history of the water agitation, mid which is going to give the citizens the “cohl water cure" good and hard. The Echo de Paris claims to have in. formation that it was on the request ol the British Government that Vice Ad miral Rojestvenskv sent back Lieutenant V alron, of th<r transport Kamatchtka, to testify In-lore the International Corn mission on the North Sea affair concern ing the wireless message which around the suspicions ot the comm tnder of the Baltic squadron and led to the firing on the Gamecock fleet. I Called a meeting on Thursday afternoon to investigate tl>t* allegations, when there was a large attendance at the School lidise. It was at the request of M . Whitney that the Hireling was C tiled. Drew Diwson and Horliert Smith and wife were notified to be pre sent and they made their statem mts. Mr. Whitney denied every word of what had been said about him and accounted for all the time and where he was be tween six and eleven o’clock on Thurs day evening of last week, and to co- «berate this s large number of witnesses were called, all of whom swore that Mr Whitney was from seven o’clock to a few minutes past eight in the M E Church. At about ten minutes past eight lie was in Clough’s drug store, and five minutes later he was at home, where he remained 15 minutes. From there he went to the Presbyterian church and remained 20 or 30 minutes. Leaving the church about nine o’clock he went home with several young ladies and were in their company until eleven o’clock The evidence was so clear as to Mr. Whitney’s whereabouts that even ing that it was a matter of physical im possibility to prove that lie was else where. On Thursday evening the board made further investigation that it was almost impossible to distinguish a persons where the witnesses said they identified the professor, and the board decided this morning th.it the witnesses were mistaken in the identity of the person they saw near the Adventist Church and acquitted Mr. Whitney. BEAVER. Christmas morning was welcomed with a white covering on mother earth, of hail, saddened also by the funeral ser vices of Mr. E. W. Brown, whose death we gave a notice of last week. He has been an invalid for some time. He was buried in the cemetarv on the hill at Beaver. Rev. H. White preached the funeral sermon. The Beaver and Spruce Sunday schools celebrated Christmas at the U. B. church with a number of recitations and songs, after which came the unloading of the two trees, which pleased both young and old. Beaver is to hold a watch meeting al the U. B. Church on New Year’s eve . beginning at 8:30 P. M. A number of the Beaverites attended the dance at Three Rivers and report a very enjoyable time. A quiet wedding was held at the home of W A. Sailing, the contracting parties being Miss Delia Sailing and Mr. Ernest Tyler of Tillamook City. The hypnotist failed to hypnotise, so he went way back and sat down.

The announcement of his appointment to he chief-of staff was received with general satisfaction as the preparedness of the Japanese army was generally credited to his foresight and wonderful executive ability. w. nn effort will be made to evade the law, but it now rests with the proper officials to see that it is enforced, tor the people of the county will hold them responsible, for it is their duty to enforce the laws, and for which they are paid out of the taxpayer’s money. * * * The water commission has already demonstrated it business ability and its interest in the city by thwarting the efforts of Mayor Talmage to have the city bonded for $45,000 and paying out at least $1,500 in interest before the money is really required.
