THE FIGHT is ON
COMMISSIONER DAVIS INSISTS
HE is THE WHOLE PUSH.
Undertakes to Chastise Assessor Archer for
His Stand in the Matter Of Mill Assess.
ments. His Bluff is Promptly Called by
the Assessor.
the Assessor

Assessor Archer went to the Sound last
week without asking permission OF Geo.
l.. Davis, chairman of the board Of county
commissioners, and in consequence all
help in Mr.. Archer's office has been laid
off, says the Montesano Vidette.
Tuesday morning Mr.. Archer was called
before the commissioners and asked by
Mr.. Davis if he was not running around
good deal and was asked what business
he had out of town. He replied that
that was none OF Mr.. Davis business
and that ne was running the assessors
office.
One word led to another and sometimes
two or three. Mr.. DAVIS charged Mr..
Archer with writing violent and sedi-
tious articles for Giants Sawyer and with
the crime of les majestic. He was also
charged with employing more help in his
office than was necessary. He retorted
that under his administration the office
had cost several hundred dollars less than
under the last year OF his predecessor
and that he could not see where the
county lost anything by his having TWO
assistants all the year instead OF putting
| on big force for a short period.
The controversy was finally ended by
the assessor going to his office and DIS
charging the entire force. The commits
sioners afterwards passed an order allow
ing him one clerk at $50 per month for
the present, but the assessor says he will
continue to do the work alone and will dc
just as much as he can himself, and what
he cannot do will remain undone.

ENLARGED DUTIES
OF the Mayor Provided by
the Law Passed by
the Last Legis-
lature.

Additional authority has been placed
IN the hands of the mayor, who, under
the new law, found at page 200 of the
1903 session laws, appoints marshal. pc
lice justice, policemen, poundmaster, city
engineer, street superintendent, water
superintendent and auditor. none OF
whom are elected. He also has given to
him power to fill any vacancy OF an !.
elective Office, snch as treasurer, health
officer, clerk and city attorney. Vacancies
on the council are filled by the majority
vote of the council. All appointments
made by the mayor shall be subject to
confirmation by the city council. If the
council refuse to confirm, the mayor must
continue to appoint until his appoint
ments are confirmed. II he fails, for one
week after the rejection of his appoint
ment, to appoint another person, the
council may elect some suitable person to
fill the vacancy. The mayor may dis.
charge at his pleasure" the poundmas-
ter, city engineer, street superintendent
and auditor; with the consert of foul
cOuncilmen, he may remove the marshal
police justice and members OF the police
| force. If his appointment be to fill d
vacancy in an elective Office, the ap
pointee, if confirmed by the council holds
Office until the next regular election.
Another change made by the law, con-
centrating still further power in the hands
Of the mayor, is in regard to his veto
power. Under the old law four council.
men could pass an ordinance over the
mayors veto. Under the new law five
members are required TO vote Affirmative
ly for an ordinance to pass it over the
mayors veto.
Another change made is mo ordinance
and no resolution or order shall have any
validity or effect unless passed by the
votes OF at least four councilmen."

EDISON THEATER
Success Of This Popular
Theater Continues
Great Program
This Week.

The bill for this week beginning today
at the Edison Theater comes heralded
by some very fattering press notices
from the different towns on the circuit
where it has been given. 1t is claimed
by Manager Hirschman to be the most
expensive and finest show that he has
lever presented to his critical and appre-
ciative audience.
Gardiner, West and Sunshine are
the features of this weeks bill. They
present very funny sketch in which
little Sunshine, little Filipino girl, the
only one on the vaudeville stage, keeps
her audience laughing by her very clever
acting. Leonard and Drake, team of
no mean ability present their sketch en-.
also producers of good, hearty laugh.
Miss Belle Williams, comes highly spok-
en- Of as delineator OF coon songs.
The picture part Of the program is also
very we'll represented. Mr.. Gene King,
the we'll appreciated barytone, will sing
the latest illustrated song entitled "She
Rests by the Suwanee River" The
moving pictures are this week directly
imported from the Edison factory and
reproduce great spectacular production
entitled "Bluebeard and his Many
Wives" which will compare favorably
with the most appreciated "Uncle Tom IS
Cabin" which was presented last week.
The new Edison Theater. on Wishkah
street, which Manager Hirschman has
50 pluckily rebuilt in the short space of
two weeks, is a great improvement on
the former theater owned by Mr.. Hirsch.

THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE
Absolutely Pure

| 10000, on the north side Of the Chehalis
river, at a cost of not to exceed $40, 900
above the revenues in one year, and NAV
possibly be done with 5000, depending
upon the cost of land and building of a
reservoir:
First: Collect for all water used, and
abandon the old plan of using the re-
ceipts for the purpose of extending
mains, the cost OF which should be taxed
to abutting property.
Second: Give franchise for water
supply for South Aberdeen, such as was
not long ago refused, and abandon the
attempt to supply that part Of the city
from the north side, which attempt has
absorbed a great part of the water reve.
nues during the past five years and re-
suited in very Indifferent service.
Third: Procure new pump, of 2,000,-
600 gallons day capacity, and one new
boiler-which the engineers say will put
the pumping station in good working
order-and as soon as possible, build a
storage reservoir of as great capacity as
means will allow at height that will
give sufficient gravity head for ample fire
protection.
The first suggestion can be accomplish
ed at once. and without cost, and there
is small doubt that the second can he ar.
ranged Tor before another dry season. As
to the third, the pump and boiler can be
bought at once. In fact, the water COM
mittee has been reporting in favor Of
them for some months, while there has
been an attempt at diversion by insist.
ing upon the city starting law suit for
more water supply that would cost more
money than would the required pump
and power. The cost of reservoir need
not be great at first, after suitable site
is acquired. If necessary an earth res
ervoir can be made answer until the
plant will have earned money enough to
have it lined with cement,

JAP GIRL KILLED
SHOT BY HER LOVER IN A BAGNIO
YESTERDAY MORNING.
The Murderer Attempts Suicide. but Fails to
Hit Vital Spot. Coroner's Inquest
Charges Him With WiIful Murder. Taken
to County Jail.

Kisabruro Ogawa, a Japanese cook
shot and killed Emma NamOru, an in
mate of bag2io on 6 street, at II 80
O'Clock Yesterday morning, and attempt
ed to end his own life with the pistol,
but, owing to nervousness, only shot a
hole through his left arm.
Marshal Anstie and Officers McGahan,
Hill! and Bergeson were at the city jail,
in the same block, at the time, and.
hearing the shots, were soon on the
scene and secured the murderer.
The woman was shot twice, the first
bullet striking her in the left breast and
passing through the heart, the other en-
tering the left side. Death was almost
instantaneous. After firing the fatal
shots, Ogawa turned the pistol upon
himself. evidently intending to put a
nullet in his heart. but struck his left
arm above the elbow instead.
The woman was breathing when the
officers arrived, and DR.. Smits was tele-
phoned for, and arrived in few minutes.
The wounded arm OF the murderer was
attended to, and he was taken to Jail.
When questioned by the officers,
ngawa confessed the crime. saying he
had meant to kill her and himself be-

Coroner Smits held an inquest on the
body yesterday morning, with the fol-
lowing jury: f. B. Benn, VIM. bod
bridge, G. B. Shipman, Fred B. Thomp
son, r. p. Porter and c. Chapman.
The testimony of the Japanese wit
nesses showed that Oyawa vas infatuated
with the Namoru woman, and wanted to
marry her, despite the fact that she had
a husband in Japan. and had threatened
her life because Of her refusal. The two
had been at supper in neighborng
house, and had quarreled, and the
shooting occurred shortly after returning
to the & street house.
The jury found that Emma Namoru
met her death from pistol shot wounds
inflicted by Ogawa, who was committed
to the county Jail to answer the charge
Of murder, and was taken to Montesano
this morning.

A MUSICAL EVENT.
Miss Nellie Redinser's Recital Friday Evening
Grand Success,

good sized audience attended the re-.
cital Of Miss Nellie Redinger in the
Presbyterian church, Friday evening,
and the lovers of classical music enjoyed
a rare treat. Miss Redinger was fresh
from her triumphs at Tacoma and Olym-
pia and was at her best, and the repeated
encores were sufficient testimony of the
appreciation of an audience somewhat
disposed to be critical. That Miss Red
niger is to figure with the greatest must
cal artists OF the day is plain to all who
hear her wonderful playing and observe
her great musical powers.
The singing by Miss Goldie Redinger
and Rev. f. r. Prichard was we'll re-
ceived, and served to round out very
pleasant evening for those present,

CITY WATERWORKS
PLAN TO SELL TO A PRIVATE
COMPANY NOT COMMENDED.
To Sell the City Plant Would be an Act Of
Municipal Retrosression that Aberdeen
Cannot Afford. Not Necessary as Bust.
ness Proposition.

The proposal OF the city council to sci
the city waterworks to private corpora
ton meets with scant approval by a large
majority of the taxpayers OF the city. In
deed, this is SO apparent that it is Doubt
fnl if the ordinance submitting the ques.
tion at the coming election will pass the
council at its meeting next Wednesday
night.
The arguments adduced to justify the
sale will not bear scrutiny. Briefly.
they are: That the city is unable 10
make needed improvements; that under
city management the system does not
pay, and the city needs the money.
Let us examine those reasons. The
city can sell bonds in sufficient amount
O put the system in thorough repair, by
adding new boiler and pump, and build
ing storage reservoir-say $40, OOO-as
soon as they are legally voted. The fail.
ure to sell the 100000 bonds already
voted would not operate against an issue
OF 100000, as the latter sum would be
within the limit of indebtedness allowed
by law.
That the system does not pay is not al
legged by anyone familiar with the record.
The system, since il was installed, has
Melted sufficient money to have paid for
all extensions as we'll as pay off the $685.
600 bonds that stand against it, had its
revenues rot been diverted to other uses.
Last month the revenues amounted to
$l,366-and properly managed should
have been Il ,S00-and the cost OF opera
ton was $45695, divided as follows:
Wages three engineers, $cc35 lbs cords
word, at $1.93. $221.95.
That the present value of the system to
the city approximates 900 per annum
can be readily figured out from the rec
ords. Ordinary management should
make it yield 81 500 month from con-
sumers, While conservative sum to allow
for fire hydrant rental is $3.50 per month.
Thus we have a revenue per annum as
follows:
Receipts from consumers ...... $4,000
Fiie hydrant rental ........... 1900
Total receipts .......... sos
From which is to be deducted the fol-
lowing operating expenses:
Wood, 1900 cords, at $2..........$ 5000
Wages, three engineers, at 1926
month 2,s2O
Oil and other incidentals ....... $50
Interest on bonds, $65 600. at 6
per cent. 5000
Total operating expenses. S $500
