Tho Common Council met soon after
the appointed hour of meeting.
A communication from the Mayor
suggesting that tramps coming to the
CITY be arrested and required to work in
breaking and transporting stone from
the Canal to be used on the streets was
read and referred, on the motion of MIR.
Cation, to the committee on streets.
The Joint committee of finance aud
general laws reported adversely to the
application of the Commissioner OF
Revenue for an increase of salary. for
the reason that the charter forbids a
change in the salary of any officer dur
ing his continuance in office.
The Joint committee later introduced
a resolution that the Commissioned OF
Revenue should be allowed an extra
compensation of $3.50 for the purpose OF
employing, with the approval OF the
finance committee, a competent assist
ant during the next year.
Mr.. Fisher thought this was whip
ping the devil round the stump. The
resolution was inconsistent with the
report. He thought that the matter
should be gone into more fully by the
committee and some consistent action
taken.
Mr.. Cation moved to refer the subject
to the committee on finance with view
ofschring the drawing OF an ordinance

s. Fool And His Money.

Il. NJ. Carpenter, who has 'ut quite
swath here the past yeaF OF more,
got gIoriously drunk Saturday night
and was displaying several hundred
dollars in bills, gold coin and notes.
He was anxious to show his money,
and on going in saloon to get.a drink
would count over the whole amount
each time and then draw from his
pocket the small change necessary TO
pay for his drink. During the night
he took occasion to snoGza arouid the
saloons, and at late hour went out to
an out building. When he came back
he found his money was gone. Two
parties were seen in company with
him, and the next day he swore out a
warrant for their arrest. He claimed
they had relieved him of $3.50. The
evidence against the parties appeared
quite strcng, but Carpenter left for
California Sunday night, and the only
witness resided away from town and
had gone home, SO the case against the
parties was dismissed There is no
sympathy expressed for Carpenter, but
if such affairs are transpiring in our
city the guilty parties should not be
allowed to go unpunished.- .-Eugene

Richard Eaton, young man about
twenty years Of age, was drowned in a
slough near Junction City Wednesday
evening. He had taken a kind Of tub
boat and was going to row down the

boat. He was alone and it is not
known how he met his death, as the
boat in which he was rowing was
found right side up but his body was
found al the bottom of the slough. 1t
is supposed that owing to Che unstead-
iness of the boat he had tipped it and
fell overheard and was unable to save
himself, though the slough wes not n
very wide one nor very deep. The
body was recovered that evening. The
funeral services were conducted Thurs

Neglecting Their Orchards.

Mr.. P. w. Tenneson, manager of the
Northwest Horticulturist, of Tacoma,
Wash, has recently spent two weeks
in looking over the nurseries and
orchards of the Willamette valley.
He says that the one fact, which has
mostly impressed itself upon him dur
ing his trip is that very large number
of fruit growers are doomed to disap-
pointment, simply from the fact that
they are not giving their trees proper
care. Those growers who cannot keep
their trees in clean, healthy and
vigorous condition, had better grub
cut their orchards at once for they will
not be able 10 compete with their
neighbors who take care of their trees
The neglect to spray and the lack OF
drainage are among the leading causes
of the lack of thrift among orchards.
Even if the trees are free from insect
pests, II any moss is growing upon
them they should be sprayed in the
winter with solution of concentrated
lye or washed with lime to destroy the
moss. Whenever the moss establishes
itself upon tree it makes the condi
! tions fayorables for an attack of insect
pests.

in the boycott, of the number of men who
had gone out as strikers and of the SYM
pathizers who had come forward for their
encouragement. He explained the line
of action here in Chicago and elsewhere
throughout the country. He said he was
most elated over the work which had
been accomplished. The American Rail-
way Union had brought about one of
the greatest strikes this country had
ever seen aud he hoped to see it carried
through.
At midnight. Immediately after his in
terview with a reporter, Mr. Debs re-
turned to his hotel, leaving the meeting
still in session. The conference lasted
until 1890 A. NJ, and was marked by sew
eral heated arguments, the hot-heads be-
ing in favor of a strike at once, while the
more conservative counseled moderation.
No decision was reached, and the meet
ing adjourned until tomorrow morning.
At the close of the session, President
Gompers was asked if the Federation of
Labor would be willing the present strike
should be called off, relying on the moral
force of the Government TO effect arbitra-
ton. Gompers said; ''To call off the
strike would be for one of the parties,
that one. of course, the workingmen, to
surrender; and after peace was restored
there would be nothing to arbitrate."
Debs says there is no foundation for the
statement that he had engaged Robert q.
Ingersoll to defend him.

The Executive committee COnYeneS.at

CHICAGO, July 12.-The Federation Ex-
ecutive Committee convened at Ii o'clock
to-day.
Among the national labor organizations
represented were Printers, Cigarmakers,
Painters and Decorators, Carpenters,
Brewers, Trainmen, Miners, Firemen,
Building and Trades Council, Balers,
TaiIors. Iron and Steel Workers, Musi-
clans. Machine Wood Workers and Sea-
men. It is said that they represent about
1000 men. President Gompers pre-
sided.
The strike situation, from its inception,
was carefully Investigated. 1t was gen.
orally believed that no decision as to the
action of the Federation of Labor would
be reached before tomorrow.
Neither Debs nor Sovereign were pres
ent. although il was announced that Debs
will be called before the conference is
closed. 1t was apparent that the knights
of Labor were not looked upon with
favor.
The Cigarmakers represented 5000 on
strike. President Debs was invited to
appear before the Executive Committee
at O'Clock tonight.
The meeting at 1870 took a recess until
2:3O.
The evening session Of the Executive
Council of the American Federation OF
Labor was held at the Briggs House with
closed doors. Very soon after s O'Clock
President Debs appeared in response to

President Gompers, and told in detail
the history of the strike. He then went
on at length to tell what had been done

and the arms of the Federal troops, and
for that purpose the rights of States were
being encroached upon by the Federal
authorities.
Mr.. George then entered into lengthy
condemnation of President Cleveland
and his employment of Federal troops IN
the West. Every mention of the Presi-
dents name was received with misses,
and when Mr.. George asked, "What are
you going to do about it?" voice
shouted: ''Impeach him p' "Hang
him ~ shouted another. Nearly every
body followed with suggestions until the
ball was in an uproar.
Mr.. George differed from all the reme-
dies proposed by his hearers. The sys-
tenn, he said. would have to be funda-
mentally changed. Strikes were useless,
and always resulted in failure. At this
point the speaker drlfted into his we'll
known single tax theories, and told his
audience Things would be better when
his theories shall have been adopted.
After Mr.. George had finished, a tele-
gram was received from Samuel Gompers
at New York, asking that the voice of
labor might be heard from New York
and advising calmness and assuring them
of final success.
Frank X. Foster, lawyer of Boston,
was the next speaker. He too denounced
President Cleveland and Attorney-Gen-
eral 0lney. Cleveland and Olney, he
said, would pass away, but the labor
powers would finally carry all before
them. IL was movement of evolution,
not revolution, and when the wave was
strong enough God help the Pullmans,
the Carnegies and the Olneys.
Father Thomas b. Ducey. pastor of ST.
Leos church, said the criminal in this
case was not President DebS, but Presi-
dent Pullman. The trouble arose out of
of Of ho ,,-b0
said there was nothing to arbitrate. In
conclusion, he affirmed his belief in the
righteousness Of the cause of the present
strike.
The resolutions adopted commended
the decisive action of the American Rail-
way Union in demanding arbitration.
Little sympathy was expressed for vio-
lence, but the resolutions demanded the
removal of conditions provocative of vio-
lence.
OF the authorities at Washington, the
resolutions said: I'VE denounce and con-
denim that perversion OF the functions of
the Federal Judiciary, by which unpre-
cedented orders granted manifestly on un-
true allegations are made the basis for the
assumption of military authority. That
the unwarranted and danti-reDublican in
terference of the Federal Government
with the affairs of the States, even in
spite of the protests of their Governors,
is an usurpation of power, which should
be condemned by all liberty loving
Americans"
The Government was declared to be in
the interest of corporations and conspir-
ing against the liberty and civil rights of
citizens. The Senate was denounced for
rushing to the defense of monopolies and
corporations in the sacred name of liberty.
Sympathy was extended to the people of
California, and Congress is asked to fore
close the nations mortgages on the Pa
citic railroads.
In conclusion, the workingmen were
called upon to use their political rights,
and the meeting adjourned.

A NEW RAILROAD.
Transcontinental Scheme Reported to
be Heading for California.


be Heading for California.
New YORK, July PA Washington
dispatch to morning paper says: The
day the Presidents signature is affixed to
the Utah admission bill will see the
launching of the greatest railroad enter
prise for years. A transcontinental
scheme has been matured and is only
held back until Utah can be dealt with as
a State. Behind the plan of develop
ments is the wealth and influence of the
Mormon church. With the quicknesS
characteristic of the Mormon leaders, the
surveys have been made, the estimates
compiled and the resources of the country
are fully investigated. The work is in
such an advanced state that some en-
gines are now there and ready to be
used for construction power.
1t is to be built from Salt Lake City
southerly, and then westerly to Pacific
connection in the Los Angeles country.
If the connection cannot be made with
the Sante Fe in Southern California, then
this Utah road will be built through to
the coast, bat the probabilities are that a
traffic arrangement will be made with the
Santa Fe from the Needles through to
the coast.
The projectors of the new road have
already sounded President Reinhart of
the Santa Fe officials to hold a formal
meeting with him after the Statehood bill
is signed.
By reference to the map, branch of
the Union Pacific will be seen running
southwesterly from Salt Lake toward the
coast country but stopping short in the
midst of the SierraS. The Mormons have
done better than they have. They have
laid out road which is marvel to the
engineers who have seen the profiles.
They parallel the ridges instead of cross
ing them. They have tangents sixty and
seventy miles, demonstrating that what
appears to be the longest round is really
the shortest way to the coast. In South
ern Utah are anthracite coal beds which
exceed Pennsylvania by ope-half, but
have until now escaped the Gentle rail-
road builder. These coal fields will be
pierced by the new road.
Bishop Clawson of the Mormon
Church is the active representative of
Zion in this project. He is here in
charge of the lobby which has put the
statehood bill through the Presidents
hands so smoothly. Associated with the
Bishop is Mr.. Trumbo, one of the ex-
ecutors Of the Stanford estate. Co.
operating with the Mormons and in the
statehood scheme is Colonel Us. Clarkson,
who represents capital to be invested in
the road and who will probably give his
attention to the franchising of the road,
retiring from active politics.
