ABOLISH THE COUNCIL
WOodmen Take Important Step
and Adjourn.
GIFT FOR FALKENBERG
HEAD CONSUL IS APPROPRIATE
LY COMPLIMENTED.

The Woodmen abolished the execu-
tive council, disposing of the matter
with comparative ease, the stormy ses-
sion of the evening previous consid-
cred, and finally adjourned at 6 o'clock
;iast evening. A number of important
matters came up yesterday besides the
council affair, which is of the utmost
Importance itself, meaning that the
head consul and board of managers
have absolute control and can enact
measures at any time between the head
camp sessions.
During the day the hazardous risk
assessment was cut down from 50 cents
per month per $1,000 to 20 cents, which
will be saving of thousands of dollars
to the membership.
Officers Are Installed.
The installation of officers took place
under the direction of Past Head Con
sui M. T. Moses of San Francisco. and
in resolution later adopted he was
highly complimented for his excellent
manner Of making the installation and
given vote of thanks for his faith
full and untiring work in the order.
Another pretty event was the voting
of $3.50 jewel to Head Consul F. A.
Falkenburg in recognition of his ten
years service. Mr. Falkenburg is the
founder of the order, and by resolution
ne was complimented highly on origin
atlnS the greatest fraternal organiZa-
uon of its kind in the history of civic
societies.
Other resolutions were passed, THANK
ing Salt Lake City and the Salt Lake
camps for their unequaled entertain
ment, and the Salt Lake press for its
reports of the proceedings
Another benevolent act marked the
afternoon session, the full claim of
NeighbOr Levi Hunt of Washington
being ordered paid, although there was
a question as to the orders response
blllty for the amount, which is So, 600
Mr.. Hunt died of smallpox and his
widow will receive the money.
Constitution Is Amended.
One amendment to the constitution
was enacted which provides tfIat in
case of death the board of head man
ayers will elect head consul.
1t is generally conceded by the dele
gates that the Salt Lake convention
has been the most successful in the his
tory of the order. The legislation has
been of a nature calculated to strength
en- in mum Ders the membership by thou
sands, and all the delegates and off,
GERS feel more than satisfied with what
has been accomplished.
A great many of the visitors left
town last night, two special cars o--er
the Oregon Short Line carrying the
Oregon, Washington and Montana del
egatiOns. Head Consul Falkenburg
stayed over to rest up and will go on
to Denver perhaps tonight. Others of
the officers from distant points will
leave during the day and the town will
be free of the woodchOppers for the
first time in eleven days.
The camp session has been a great
thing for the town, especially for the
hotel men. 1t is estimated that the Wis
iting delegates have spent no less than
$4,000 since coming here.

Since Thursday the police have been
looking for William Hawkes., who, until
the early part of the week, was a saloon
keeper at Frisco. The mining camp re-

1t is essential to the story to state that
warrant is out for the arrest of Mr.

The complaint grows out of the fact that
Mr. MoritZ sent last week by express to
the Frisco saloon keeper $500 in cash, to
use in casSing the pay checks of the
Horn Silver employees, who were his
best patrons. This was not the first time
that the brewery magnate sent money

MI oMrltz said yesterday that he did

Wnselins's best adsertissnishf - tie
rext tn years win b her lon debit &
MI. August Il. Weidebusch said:
The friends Or the refunding
scheme made the appear very
plausible upon a merely superficial in
spect1on. but it viii not stand the
light of close analysis I am surprised
at the number of fallacious arguments
which are being used in support of it.
One of these is that it will enable the
spending of a certain amount, gener-
ally given as !s25. 900. upon municipal
improvements. Do voters realize
that this $4,000 a year or whatever
the sum may be, represents what
would under the present system, be
applied to wiping but the city's in
debtedness?
"The- proposed sinking fund of S15.-
600 a year means simply the creation
of a practically non-interest bearing
fund of $780, 900 in the aggregate. The
city may get two per cent interest
not more-while paying four per cent
upon the debt.
Il don't think the projectors Of the
refunding scheme are sincere in their
proposition to engage in commercial
electric lighting. If they are sincere
they propose to virtually squander
nearly 100000. and for what? The
plant they propose to buy is admitted
ly inadequate. Besides, one of the ar
guments advanced by what the Reg
lister terms the literary bureau for
the refundipg scheme, is that it is
not the purpose to buy the franchise,
but simply the plant. If the city ac-
quires the plant. and the company re-
tains its franchise, what is to prevent
the company from engaging in the
manufacture and sale of electricity
for lighting purposes, in competition
with the city?
Il don't think the light proposition
was incorporated in the ordinance for
any other purpose than to make it APP
near more attractive to the voters,
and to enable the projectors of the
refunding scheme to make ridiculous
promises of cheap light"

Public sentiment in opposition to b

seems certain. The literary bureau and
the squads of active and interested
workers in behalf of the scheme, have
manifested such eagerness for its pas
sage, as t o arouse justifiable suspicious
on the part of hundreds of voters, with
the result that the provisions of the
ordinance are being studied. A thor

gets opposition to it in most instances.
