President Mohler Reelected.
From Fridays daily.

From Fridays daily.
The telephone brought us last
evening the good news that Presi-
dent Mohler had been re. elected to
the same position at the annual
meeting of the o. r. & n. Co., at
Portland on Thursday. Mr.. Moh-
Ter is very strongly in favor of the
immediate construction Uf the long
talked of o. r. & N. branch rail-
road to Camas Prairie and while
recent changes in the ownership of
that company have caused a sus-
pension of work on its projected
extension for the present, yet the
fact that Mr.. Mohler is still at the
head of the company is an assur-
ance that the late derangment of
his plans is but temporary, and at
the expiration Of the present truce
it may confidently be looked for
that the old aggressive spirit of
active railroad construction to-
ward this point will be resumed.
Camas Prairie has a powerful friend
at court in President Mohler and
it is cause for genuine congratpla-
tion that he retains the manage
ment of the great Oregon railroad
which he has brought to a stand
ard of perfection. not surpassed by
any of the eastern trunk. lines.

THE CITY GUARDIANS MEET
Grant a Franchise for an Electric
Lisht Plant.

AT Saturday nights meeting of
the Board of Aldermen, there was
q full meeting with his Honor
Mayor Wax in the chair.
After the usual preliminaries had
been gone through, such as read
ing and accepting the minutes OF
the last meeting, the question of
California Dicks board bill to M
NJ: Shearer was brought up again.
At last weeks meeting it was de-
cided that the board would allow
the gentleman 81 for Richard from
the "Goldeh State's'' account, but
to this Mr.. Shearer dcmurred,
claiming that that was insufficient
lie acknowledged that he had no
absolute claim from the fact that
the time Mayor Wax had given
him an. order WHICH stated dis
tinctly that it was for two or three
days board only, but that he had
been told by Officer Church and
DR.. Bibby that the city would be
responsible and hence had kept
Dick, even against his own inclin-
ations. Alderman Brown in a
most bland tone asked: "Is not
Mr.. Dick good for it? He gets a
pension, does he not?"
Alderman f. G. Sherwin re-
sponded: "No, the saloons get
the pension"
Mayor Wax: "You have the or
der gave you, have you not, Mr..
Shearer?"
Shearer: eyes, but it is only
for two or three days."
After considerable argument in
which the entire board took hand
it was decided on motion by Alder
man White, seconded by Brown,
that Shearer be allowed $S more,
which Mr.. White remarked would
be "tirst cost for the grub" The
argument was concluded by Mayor
Wax remarking, '.it would be a
good idea in future, Mr.. Shearer,
to get an order before You board
people at the city's expense" to
which Mr.. Shearer responded,
"Wcll, l can live the rest of my
life without any California Dicks
in mine"
The question of the electric light
franchise was then brought up for
reconsideration and City Attor-
ney Griffith read tle one which he
had drafted for that specific pur-
pose. The applicant for the fran
chise is d. G. Van Buren,. The es-
sential points of the ordinance are
that work must be commenced by
Oct. l, and that the plant must.be
in a sufficient state Of completion
to be able to furnish light to the
city, abodes and business places Of
the citizens of Grangeville by Jan.
l, 1900. The ordinance passed its
first reading on Saturday night. 1t
was understood that Mr.. Van Bur-
Ell would proceed with his further
arrangements for the installation
of the new plant Immediately.
The bills allowed and ordered
paid were: Geo. Brown. S1.75;
A. J. Turner, s25; J. Pfeufer, So;
w. P. Breden, $3.50; H. G. John
son, 81; II. F. Church, So; r. d.
