roll call is given in full. This record
shows three votes cast by Hon. John

one IN the Fifty-second. In the Fifty
first congress ON juno 5, 1890, the bill
known as the Window silver purchasing

The placing of meters is of great ad-
vantage to the consumers as we'll as to
the city. The income for meter rent dur
ing the year from consumers is nearly
5000 more than the same consumers
would have paid under the general Wa
ter rent, besides preventing an uunecess-
airy waste of water. It would be we'll
for the city council or its committee to
have meters placed for such consumers
as has been recommended by the Super
intendent of Water Works.
The income of the plant during the
year amounted to $1693.O5. To this
should be added the following:
1. Furnishing 100000 gallons
of water per month to the
Electric Light Company un-
der the light contract, which
if figured at the lowest meter
rates, at 2 cents per 100 gal

2. Furnishing water for street

ling contract, as shown in my
last report on sprinkling g.
374,750 gallons, figured at 2
cents per 100 gallons and
paid for by assessments for
sprinkling. ............... 475.0O
8. The use of As fire hydrants
for fire protection at $40 per
annum each, which amount is
the lowest rent cities pay
where the water works are in
the hands Of private parties
(they are paying from $40 to
$40 per fire hydrant per
annum). $4,000

as he was leaving the club house. no
one who ds acquainted with him, so far
that he told Mcleod. as he passed out
OF the door into the darkness. that no
one would ever see him again,
strengthens the belief that he has com
mltted suicide.
She missing mans wife was very un-
happy yesterday, in her little cottage
at the head OF Twelfth street. She con-
fidently expected her husband would
return. but. when night came last eve-
ming. and he did not put in an appear
ance. she was almost distracted with
anxiety and grief. A little girl. the
only child of Mr.. and Mrs. Bentsen.
also feels the continued absence of her
father with keen concern.
Mrs. Bentsen believes that her hus-
band suddenly became insane and LEFT
the club with no definite purpose in
view. She thinks that the injury to his
head years ago Is the direct cause of
the trouble. The fact that he had been
complaining OF pains in the head for
several days before his disappearance
and was unusually morose and discon-
tented. gives credence to this theory.
She does not believe that her husband
has killed himself, and Is inclined to
think that he embarked In his small
sailboat and headed for the Columbia
river.
Chief Mimic takes a deep interest in
the case, and the entire police force
has been ordered to keep a sharp look
out for any information concerning the
missing man. The detectives have been
given instructions to try and learn
where Bentsen moored his sanboat. So
far. this Is not known. II IL Is found
that his sai1boat Is gone, the mystery
viii probably be cleared up in a few
days. The officers of the Multnon1ah
club are deeply interested in the
strange case. They cannot account In
any way for the mans conduct. He
seemed ito be thoroughly satisfied with
his position in charge of the bathing
establishment, and those who patron
lied II were pleased with him.
The theory is advanced that Bent
sen. who Is an old sailor. has shipped
Tor some foreign port on a sailing YES
sell But no ship has left this port In
the last three days. and this theory Is
at once exploded. II is possible, how
ever. that Bentsen has gone down the
Columbia river In his sailboat for the
purpose OF boarding a vessel at Asto-
ria. His domestic relations were of the
pleasantest nature, and his friends
scout the idea that he would so will
fully desert his family.
II ts very probable that Bentsen's
dead body may be found in the course
OF a few days, and the mystery sur
rounding his disappearance. IN part,
explained.
