Current Comment on Seven Devils.

Current Comment on Seven Devils.
The Baker City Herald has the
following to say about the Seven
Devils situation:
That work is diminishing in the
large Seven Devils properties has
been reported often of late, and is
now confirmed by persons direct from
the region. Some have it that work
has ceased. Several men have been
let out and among those who have
been engaged there, an air OF uncer-
tainty seems to prevail. What this
will mean ultimately is unknown, as
the management of the Boston and
Seven Devils Copper Company dc
not divulge any thing regarding theil
future, whether Of good or bad omen

following small paragraph:
The iron bridge across Salmon river
on the state road to Warrens collapsed

The disaster Is more important

built by the state at cost of $17

GREEN RIDGE.
TEST OF WATER ORDINANCE.
City Solicitor Favors Placing the
Company OH the Offensive.

There are several plans under con-
sideration for the bringing Of a test
case to establish the legality of the
ordinance fixing water rates for this
city, but the-plan that City Solicitor
Watson is known to favor is the
placing of the company in the position
of relator, rather than in that of re-
spondent.
This could be done by getting one or
more consumers of water to refuse to
pay the present rate when requested to
do so by the company, and to insist
upon paying no more than the price
fixed in the ordinance. This would
force the company into bringing suit
to recover the full amount of the pres
ent rate and would make the con-
sumner, backed, of course, by the city,
the defendant in the case.
There seems to he no doubt ir the
mind of any person who has considered
the matter but that the legality of the
ordinance will be attacked by the COM
pany and as ii is generally presumed
that they will take the case up to the
United States Supreme court, in case
they lose in the state courts, 1t Is
deemed advisable to have the matter
brought up as quickly as possible. AS
such course of procedure would take,
at the most conservative estimate at
least two years.

Yesterday afternoon the grand jury

men, Kilcoync. Biancardi, Stevens,
Munroe and Gallagher, it was admit
ted received pass hooks from the troll

by the trolley company for expenses
for attending tho hearing. although
they had been subpoenacd by the 9TH

1t is also possible that other testi-
n1ony bearing on the transaction was
adduced from r. w. Gallagher. who
was prominent in the negotiations be-
tween the company and the council
men, and who. since that time has
been dismissed from the companys

CONTROLLER is SILENT.
But 1t Is Thought He Will Ignore
Councils Resolution.

Controller Howell would not say yes
terday whether or not he will heed
the resolution passed by the select
council on Thursday night and which
will pass the common council on next
Thursday night, directing him not to
countersign any warrants for bills not
approved by the auditing committee.
The general impression prevails,
however, that, acting upon the rule
laid down by City Solicitor Watson,
lie will ignore the resolution and will
justify his contention by the conten-
tion that councils have no right to
abridge his powers in that manner.
If he does ignore the resolution Just
how council can compel him to obey
it is little bit of mystery, with the
city solicitor and the whole admins
tration with him.

The coefficient of friction in canals

on whether such material is we'll
