LAFKY ORDINANCE TO
PURCHASE WATER PLANT
FOR SUM OF $300,000
t
Fallowing Is the full text of the ordinance prepared by Alderman
Lafky, whp, with Alderman Durbln, brought In a report to buy the
property of the Sa-.em Water Company by the city for 300,0O0. The
council passed an ordinance prepared by a special committee com-
posed of Aldermen Carson, Stolz and Greenbaum, in which $48,500
of the original amount agreed upon by the three engineers re'pre-
anting the water company, the city and the state, had been cut out,
and the water company had notified the city that no further reduc
tions weuld be made. Alderman Waring brought in a report sus
tainlng the former findings of Carson, Stolz and' Greenbaum, and
the city council, by a note of 8 to 6, passed the ordinance, which
the mayor vetoed. Acting In good faith, Mr. Lafky got up the ordl-
nance presented below. It was drawn by the city attorney and care-
t iuuy guuo vcr vy uean wcNary. ior Willlamette University law
school. It provides' for purchase in accordance with the Durbln-
Lnfl;y report at $300,000 flat, but includes the $48,500 formerly
dropped out. The Carson-Stolz-Greenbaum report and ordinance,
vetoed by the mayor, carries $330,000 and a lease on the water
power for three years at $3000 a year, with an option to purchase the
water power at $45,000 at any time belbre the expiration of the
lease. After consultation between the mayor and Mr. Durbln, Mr.
Uifky's ordinance was Indefinitely postponed. Both ordinances pro-
vide for payment by the city for all betterments and extensions
made by the water ampany since the date of the arbitration that
fixed the price of the plant on May 8, 1909, or about $30,000 bet-
torments that are just like so many dollar pieces put into the prop-
erty, and made necessary by permament street improvements. The
plant of the Salem Water Company is earning net money, which if
capitalized at present, would 'pay Interest on something like $700,-
000. The difference in the prices fixed by the two ordinances Is
about $100,000, and business men say the city would get a profitable
piece of property at either price.

PURCHASING
AGENT GETS
"QUARTERS"
Tucked away on the second floor of
the capltol building in the wash and
cloak room of the 6enate chamber
without any direct means of ingress
or egress and with Just barely enough
space so that he can Install a desk
and turn around Is the office of C. D.
Frazler, state purchasing agent.
Using the language of the Oregon
ian correspondent these "large and
commodious quarters" were assigned
to Mr. Frazler Saturday afternoon by
the secretary of state. When the law
creating the office went into effect
Saturday, the secretary found him
self confronted with a serious prob
lem In finding an office room and it
was after a vain search of the entire
building that the room was decided
upon as being the only one available.
It is small and Is used during the
session of the legislature as a wash
and cloak room for the dignified sen
ators. There are no means of egress
or Ingress to it, save through the
room occupied by Frank Meredith,
secretary of the state fair board, or
that occupied by Architect Knighton,
and both of which are used during
the session of the legislature as com
mittee rooms for the senators.
In the event that Secretary of
State Olcott is successful in ousting
the plant of Printer Dunlway from
the state house he will assign him
better quarters.

The mellow notes float back to me

Once again I see the boats on Missls-

Once again through dusky woods the
white magnolias gleam.
The fig tree and the myrtle tree, the
jes mine and the rose
But sweeter still my mother's face In
undimmed beauty glows!
Once again I cuddle close within my
iatner s arm,
And single out the Southern Cross,
and watch the nre-flles swarm:
The soft night breeze Is heayy with
the honeysuckles scent,
But I thought his good Havana a
more haunting fragrance lent!
All the joy and all the pain of van
ished hopes and fears,
All of them come trooping back from
over wasted years
"Black gal-a, white gal-a, yaller gal-a

With that little darky's song ringing

Averts Awful Tragedy.
Timely advice given Mrs. C. Wil
loughby, of Marengo, Wis., (R. No. 1)
prevented a dreadful tragedy and
saved two lives. Doctors had said
her frightful cough was a "consump
tion" cough and could do little to
help her. After many remedies
failed, her aunt urged her to take Dr.
King's New Discovery. "I have been
using it for some time," she wrote,
"and the awful cough has almost
gone. It also saved my little boy
when taken with a severe bronchial
trouble." This matchless medicine
has no equal for throat and lung
troubles. Price 60 cents and $1.00.
Trial botle free. Guaranteed by J.
C. Perry.
The art of ooking a piece of beef
steak is quite as "cultural" and a

Would have fallen on any one who at
tacked the son of Peter Bondy of
South Rockwood, Mich., but he was
powerless before attacks of kidney
trouble. "Doctors could not help
him," he wrote, "so at last we gave
him Electric Bitters and he im
proved wonderfully from taking six
bottles. Its the best Kidney medi
cine I ever saw." Backache, Tired
feeling, Nervousness, Loss of Appe

Id the Wake of the Measles.
The litle son of Mrs. O. B. Palmer,

The result was a severe cough which
grew worse and was bo severe he
could not sleep. She says: "One
bottle of Foley's Honey and Tar
Compound completely cured him and
he has never been bothered, since.

A Wonder Bungalow.
A triumph of architecture In
point of maximum convenience with
minimum expenditure of both mon
ey in building and energy in "keep

Maynard In the June number of
Popular Mechanics Magazine. He
appropriately calls It a "Wonder
Bungalow." Some of the features of
this dwelling are as follows:
Prom the entrance porch, one
steps into a beam-ceiled living room,
25 feet long by 12 feet wide, extend
ing unbroken clear across the front,
with casement windows on all three
sidesi Directly to the right is the
staircase. In the center of the front
wall are French windows leading to
the living porch. Next to tho stair
case is a little closet for outdooj
wraps. In the back wall of the liv
ing room Is the lopening of a small
hall leading to he ground floor bod
room, the bathroom and the stove
space. Next is the grill which hides
the stove, and beyond this the revolv
ing wall and swinging door which
closes off the kitchen.
"When not in use, the dining room
table is placed in a corner of the
kitchen. It is set for breakfast,
lunch or dinner, as the caso may be,
In the kitchen, then the meal Is
placed upn It, the swinging door is
hooked back, the revolving wall
swung aroundi, the table being pushed
along at the same time, and !n a mo
ment one end of the living room has
asumod the characteristics of a din

ing wall is a china cabinet, which is
