A MISREPRESENTATION of The DalIes

a Misrepresentation of The Dalles
Boomerang.
DIR. Cornell's mission to this city from
Saginaw, Michigan, has been for the
sole purpose of satisfying himself re-
:specting the truthfulness of a letter re-
-ceived from some enemy of The Dalles
unknown to us. to the effect that s.there
'is no good agricultural land within
fifteen miles Of. Grand Dalles, or within
forty miles of The Dalles.'' Such letters
have the desired effect of the writer's !:
They help to Kill The Dalles," is what
DIR. Cornell thinks, now that he has
come out here. and has seen for him
self. We are very glad that he came !;
and if any more intelligent people in the
east receive such advices as his from The
Dalles, we hope they may follow the
precedent he has established. We hope
the writer OF the letter which, brought
DIR. Cornell cat here, if he lives in The
Dailes, or witiaia forty miles of here,
will call upon him while he is here, and
make confession of his ignorance re-
specting the resoprcesi of this vicinity.
If not, may the good Lord in his proyi-
dence kindly remove him from our midst.
AS DIR, Cornell, and other visitors say !.
The Dalles ought TO have present pop
uiation Of S6,00o at least. and with
proper development of possible local in
dustries should readily surpass any
community in the Pacific Northwest in
sideaof five years. This is the talk we
have from'straneers, to whom we should
throw open the gates of our city with a
welcome loudly accented, instead of bar
ring them out by splenetic, jealous and
audacious misatatemeuts.

CHECKED BY CULLEN.
A Very Suspicious Report Sum-
marily Treated,

The committee on police submitted
the following report regarding the
charges made by Chief Garvin as to the
failure to find books which he thought
should have been kept by his prede-
cessor in office:
Thai careful examination OF the records
left at the public stotion by ex-Chief John
Clark, and found by Chief Garvin, shows
their utter inadequacy tor the pur-
pesos required. and justifies the COM
plant of Chief Garvin that of
many important public matters no records
whatever could be found. In view of these
facts the committee said that ex-Chief John
Clark. who by the nature of his Office was
responsible for the faithful performance OF
duty by all officers under him. including the
detective department.. though in our opinion
guiltless of any criminal intent, was in
high degree negligent in the performance of
his duty in the Keeping of the records of the
police department.
Aid. Cullen wanted to know at what
meeting of the committee these facts
had been arrived at. He was present at
one meeting, and. so far as he hnew,
the only meeting of the committee held.
At that time no such report was recon-
mended, and he was positive no
such report had been agreed upon.
Aid. Hickman, to smooth matters over,
said, as there seems to be some dispute
IS to the report, he was in favor of the
en- ire matter being sent back to the
committee. This was accordingly done.

SALOON LICENSES,
City Attorney to Pass Upon the
Proposed Revocation.


The committee on license reported in
favor of the revocation of the saloon
license of E. l.. Murphy, at 526
st. Peter street. After discussion
the matter was, on motion of Aid. Gull
len, referred to the city attorney to as
certain If there was sufficient evidence
to warrant the revocation of the license,
On the report of the same committee,
recommending the revocation of
the license of John Graf, who
kept a saloon and dance hall
at Blair and Mackubin streets.
the eight members were evenly divided.
Aid. Cullen wanted this matter referred
to the city attorney. Aid. Hickman said
he could see no legal question in this
case. A protest from III. Bremen, who
owned the license under which
Graf conducted the saloon, was
read. Mr.. Bremen asked the matter
be laid over month until he could dis
pose of his license. He claimed he had
not been given an opportunity TO be
heard in the matter, as provided for by
the state law passed in 1887, and under
which the license had been iasued.
Aid. Hickman was opposed to the par
ties who owned licenses under which
such places were run being given an
opportunity to dispose of the license
after the saloons had been ordered
closed. The motion to refer to the city at
tOrney was lost and the motion to revoke
the license was also lost. there being
four votes for revocation and four
against. Those voting for a revocation
were Aid. Copeland, Zimmerman. Hick-
man. and Montgomery, and against it
Aid. Cullen, Dorniden, Franklin and
Warren. -
The resolution which provides that
no city notices shall be printed In any
but the official paper was passed by a
vote of five to three, Aid. Cullen, Dor
nlden and Warren voting against it..
The resolution does away with the
printing of notices in Die Volkszeitung..
The printing ordinance was referred
to the city attorney, Aid. Cullen saying
no new or salaried Office could be cre-r
ated. Under the printing ordinances
the mayor was to appoint an expert at a
salary of $40 per month, and this was,
as he understood it, against the law. 8
The chief of police was ordered to de-
tail five policemen, and the mayor
authorized TO appoint five men with
terms for sixty days TO assist in the
capture of unlicensed dogs. Aid. Cui-,
len thought sixty days too long, consid-
ering the lateness of the season, but his
argument had no effect.
Aid. Franklin said, through resolu-
ton. that the method of conducting
business of the board often resulted in
measures being passed with undue
haste or being unnecessarily delayed.
He recommended that the ways and
means committee of the board
be directed to consider and report
upon the desirabillty of preparing an
''agenda" paper some time previous to
the meeting, SO that the members could
be appraised of the nature of the bus
mess to come before the body. The
matter went to the committee on ways
and means.

DAMAGE BY STORM.
Streets to BE at Once Repaired
by the City Engineer.

The resolution of Aid. Copeland, ask
Ing that the city engineer put men and
teams at work on repairing streets in the
First ward, raised storm of protest
from the other aldermen. Each of the
city fathers wanted work done in
their wards. The city engin-i
eer said there was only $4,000.
IL the fund from which the men could
be paid. To do the work properly
would cost about $4,000, and il this
amount was taken from the sheet fund

the wards of the city, instead of the
First ward only.
A number of claims for damages by
reason of the recent storm were put in
and referred to the committee on claims.
Matilda ReimerS wanted SS25; the ST..
Paul Stove works. $40; Henry +. LANCE.
$500; Peter Minea, 5000; and Henry Bal
linger claimed his entire bakery had
been ruined. ;
The rules were suspended and an
ordinance authorizing the issuance of
$40, 900 worth of certificates of indebt-
edneSe passed. Some question was
raised by AID. Montgomery as to wheth-
er the ordinance had been considered
W q COHllIltttt. Lit dlluOuUceLlenG
that the ordinance had been submitted
byComptroller McCardy was sufficient to
pass it. This ordinance cleans up all
the certificates to be issued during the
present year.
The board knocked out the assembly
resolution disseminating the use of Sew
enth. Wabasha and st. Peter streets for
market teams. Aid. Dorniden said the
market gardeners had as much right to
stand on the streets mentioned as on
Third street. The others thought so,
too. and that part of the resolution was
annu1led.
About thirty residents OF the Ninth
ward asked for the placing of Thir-
teenth street between Jackson and
Mississippi street in a passable condi-
ton. The petition also asked for re-
sumption of service on Thirteenth
street by the railway company or the
removal of the tracks of said company.
Referred to street railway committee.
The city engineer reported that it
would take $1,000 to construct new work
on sewers Oh Exchange and Fourth
streets. which had been washed cut by
the recent rain storm. A resolution or
dering the work done and paid out of
the sewerage fund was passed.

KERKER'S SALARY.
The Clerk Will Have to Whistle
for His Salary.


The report of the committee on ways
and means, fixing the salary of the
clerk of the board of public works at
$500. caused a slight breeze. For the
past two months Mr.. Kerker. the clerk,
has been unable to get his pay, the
comptroller. claiming that the council
must first pass resolution approving
OF the salary fixed by the board. The
board sent IN resolution fixing the
salary at S1,S00, and the committee rec
commended its adoption. Aid. Franklin
wanted the salary cut 10 $1,000. Aid.
Cullen said the clerk had been two
months without his pay, and it was not
fair for the board TO pick him out to
make reduction on at this time. Aid.
Hickman said when the salary of any
one official came up then was the time
to cut it. 1t was conceded that the work
was not one-quarter as much as it was
four years ago. and he thought 81. 200
was fair salary. Aid. Cullen said in
divlduals should not be singled out. If
it was necessary to reduce salaries in
the board of public works. then do it in
fair way. Aid. Warren said it would
be an Injustice to single out this
particular clerk. If the committee on
reduction of salaries wanted to reduce
the salary III connection with others 1t
would be all right. He thought the re-
duction should be uniform in all de-
partments. Aid. Franklin said it was
right and proper to give the committee
basis to work on. He could furnish all
the clerks necessary at $1,000 per year
and they would be glad to get the place.
Aid. Dorniden said they could eihter APP
prove or disapprove of the salary, but
he thought it had no right to make the
reduction. Aid. Montgomery SAID, as a
member of the committee, he shonld
vote for the adoption of the report.
The motion to cut the salary to $1,000
was lost by tie vote, and the resolu-
ton to fix the salary at 1880 failed to
pass by a tie vote. This leaves the
clerk without any chance to draw his
salary until some further action is taken
by the council.

AhotkNfSy OOAt
City Treasurer Miller submitted an
additional communication regarding
the number of street cars which he
claimed were being run by the street

books and returns in the assessors
Office that the company had run 442
more cars since 1885 than license had

Ni'CARDY'S HAND.
He Takes a Lunge at Salaries in
the Engineers Office.

The city comptroller reported the pay
roll of the engineers Office. accompanied
by letter stating that the salary of the
engineer was fixed by law, but that the
salary of other employees must be fixed
by the council. The city engineer
stated. in reply to the letter of the
comptroller, that the pay rolls for May,
1890. fixed the salaries of the department.
The resolution accompanying the cor
respondence and pay rolls ordering a
s.. ll4.67. to pay July salaries, was re-
ferred to the special committee OH re-
duction of salaries. Later in the even
ing Aid. Franklin, having been In
formed of the mistake, moved that
the pay roll be allowed and the
balance of the communication sent to
the special committee.
The city clerk called attention to the
law, which provides for the dividing of
any election district in which more than
AGO votes were cast. The records show
three such districts. the Fifth and Sixth
districts of the First ward, and the
Eighth district of tine Eighth ward. Aid.
Warren and Copeland will attend to the
redistrlcting of the precincts.

BURNS BILLS
Are RuthlessIy Cut by Expert
Schurman-Faulty Contracts.

COnCFdCCS.
Charles S. Schurman presented re-
port as to his investigation OF the print
ing bills of j. II. Burns. The total
amount of Oyercharge, after deducting
the undercharge, was SSO4.6S. The re-
port says the contract schedule is
faulty IN that it is not full enough to
cover the work needed by the city, and
some of the prices are so low as
to be perfectly plain that the con-
tractor could not furnish the goods
without seriOns loss. In a number of
cases where postal cards were furnished
no copies could be found. ana it was
impossible to figure closely on such
work. The item of election tickets was
open to question, the claim by the coll
tractor being that he was entitled
to so cents per hundred for binding,
which would allow S6S5.95 for printing
and binding the tickets. Ten cents
block would, in the estimation of the
expert. have been good compensation
for binding, and is what he allowed in
his estimate of 1920 for the work.
The overchargeS mentioned range
from $1.40 TO S257.20 aud the under
charge amounts to $500.
The overcharge is in the following
departments: City clerks office, $3.50
So; treasurer's office, SlSl.S5; building
inspectors office, S54.s6 health office,
s6l6S; engineers department., S6.06;
board of public works department,
$3.50; municipal court, s71.66; police
department, s22.34; city attorneys Of
fee. $40; comptroller's department, $50.
The report was accompanied by bill
for $50 for services in making the in
veStigation.
Mr.. Burns said he had been kent ont
of his money since last December. He
wanted the amount, which the expert
allowed he was entitled to. given MIN.
Not being allowed to be present at
the investigation made by the expert he
had been unfairly treated. All he
wanted was fair treatment, which he
claimed he had not been given.
The matter was referred to the COM
mttee OH printing, who, with Mr..
Burns and the expert, will endeavor to
reach all amicable settlement.

ity Fails to Pass.
The ordinance repeating the ordinance
allowing Theodore Hamm to lay spur
track to his brewery came from the
committee on streets without recon-
mendation. Aid. Hickman said such
improvements as proposed by Mr..
Hamm were of great interest to the
city. He did not, however, agree with
the opinion of the city attorney, which
was to the effect that the city could
grant permission to lay the track.
Railroad companies had the right to take
Land by condemnation proceedings. The
council had the right to make such
grants to railroad companies. but not to
private individuals. He had examined
authorities, and they all leave out the
facts he had stated. The city had
assumed to grant an ordinance which
it had no right to grant and would
be liable to damages which might re-
suit. 1t was not an answer to say that
Mr.. Hamm was responsible for any
damages resulting. 1t was under these
circumstances necessary to prevent the

bicycles were allowed on the side
walk. Aid. Warren had an amendment
put on which prevented bicycles from
being allowed on any sidewalk on the
Sabbath day. Aid. Cullen, however,
capped the climax by Offering an amend
ment which allowed pedestrians no
right on the sidewalks when bicyclists
desired to use them. This was unani-
