Advertiser Bureau,
 2aIu1a JtiIy i'd


 Last nights session of the City Coun- ell was probably the longest in the his- tory of the city. President Peacock call ed the meeting to order at o'clock and for four hours the city fathers talked and transacted business. The meeting was noteworthy only because of its length for though many matters were disposed of, none were of particular interest.
 A feature of the evenings session was the introduction of an ordinance by Coun- cilman Berry who wishes all the territory of the city north of the B. s. and N. O.. Railroad to be constituted into a sepa- rate and additional ward, to be known as the "Sixth.'' The matter was referred to the proper committee. An interesting discussion was precipitated by the intro duction of a petition from John Fabritis asking that he be allowed to sell fruit on Sunday. The petition was refused. Sev- eral other petitions were considered.

An Exceptionally Dry and
Clear Month
COMPARISON OF TEMPERATURE
The Report of Observer Newman
Shows a Deficiency in
Rainfall.
COMPARISON OF TEMPERATURE

the temperature at point to suggest
fall weather. Observer Newman OF
the local bureau yesterday issued a

two degrees lower than last year and
four degrees lower than the October

grees on the 10 and the lowest was 80
degrees on the last day of the month
The greatest daily range was 35 de-
grees on the 18th and the least daily
range was s degrees on the 2Sth.
The total precipitation for the month

NEED A BETTER SUPPLY.
CoIfax People Considering New Water
Works,

COLFAX, Nov. 3.-The question OF
supply of pure water for city purposes
is one which the people of ColfaX are
now confronted with. The city coun-
Gil seems to have exhausted every en-
deavor to securei such a supply with
in the immediate vicinity of the city
and other means will have to be used
Situated as ColfaX is, the town can
not afford to go much longer without
pure water. The stuff which is now
furnished the patrons is invariably
bad. The city does not suffer for
want of adequate supply for fire pro-
lection, the only fault being that the
Palouse river, from which the water
is pumped to the reservoir, cuts some
wonderful caperS at certain seasons
Then it is that the water takes on
the color Of weak coffee, and then it
is there is a peculiar odor which does
not entice the thirst.
Several propositions have been dis
cussed. The scheme presented by
VI w. u. lSoUcIlS VI ullIlldIl, 10 lie
effect that the city locate a we'll site
and bore for artesian water at a point
somewhere between Albion and Pull
man, has met with much favorable
comment. The plan is simple, and
the water could be piped from such a
point to Colfax and flow into the city
reservoir by gravity. The only draw
back to the plan is the distance and
cost.
Another scheme which seems as rea-
sonable is for the city to locate and de-
velop springs up the Palouse river
and run the water down a gravity sys-
tenn Every mile which the city can
cut off in piping will cut off in the
neighborhOod of $4,000 expense for
the new system. If an adequate sup
ply cannot be found short of fifteen
or eighteen miles, then the city will
nave to consider a greater expense.

and pleaded guilty.
mo I made no arrest" he continu
ed for the simple redsoH lndt the
violation Of the laws Of Milton and
rreewater are on account of ignor-
anca Of the law and not from a de-
sire on the part of the violator to do
ANYTHING unlawful. You see this fish
law is something new and the people
have not been educated up to it. 1t
would not do for ME to make whole
sale arrests in Milton this year. 1t
would make matters worse next year

Mr.. Nye says the people Of Milton
and Freewater are willing to abide
by the law if they understand it and
does not think there will be any more
violations Of the fish law in that neigh

lEWSFROM NEIGHBORING TOWNS
LIVE STOCK ASSOCIATION.

Z. j. Mills, live stock agent for the
Oieeoh railway and Navigation Co.,

'eruay on business connected with his
department. Mr.. Mills is taking a
special interest in the Forthcoming
convention of the National Live Stock
| association which meets in Portland
ior TOUR days commencing January
lzth, and in an interview yesterday
AFTERNOON declared that everything
| pointed to the meeting being the most
successful ever held in the history
| OF the association.
You can just say for me that Port
| land Is taking a hold Of this conven-
tlon with the intention Of making it
huge success which it is bound to
BE- Mr.. Mills said: I'VE want every
man In Walla Walla interested in the
association to come down on those
| oates and be with us. To make it a
success of course every person inter-
| ested in the livestock industry and
the upbuilding Of the northwest must
| give their aid. If this is done the
| meeting is sure to be a grand sue
cess.
The National Live Stock associa-
ton represents more wealth than any
like association in existence, including
| in its membership over 1CO local or
men, buyers, breeders and packers in
every state of the Union. An invest
| ment of more than $500,00O,000 is
represented in it's membership, and
| the organization is recognized by the
national and state governments as
! the exponent Of the live stock indus
| try.
THE value of securing a meeting OF
| this wealthy and influential body fol
| the Pacific northwest cannot be over
| estimated. 1t will bring into our mid
st several thousand of the most in
| f1uential citizens of the United States
and do much to advertise our country
| its Incompatible climate and vast re-
| sources. In addition to this it viii
call the attention of capital to the OPP
portunities for profitable investments
|
dustry throughout the entire north
| west
The forthcoming meeting will be
of special interest from the fact thai
a number of very important matters
affecting the live stock industry viii
come up for consideration. Whatever
action may be taken upon these ques-
| tons will have a material bearing
upon national and state legislation.
| In order to demonstrate to oul
eastern friends the live stock indus
| try of the Pacific northwest is of re-
spectacle magnitude, and as a recog-
milton Of the courtesy extended this
| section in selecting Portland for the
| 1904 meeting place, it is desired that
the local attendance be as large as
| possible"

DENIED BY HIS SON
Aged Father Of Dowie, Is Driven Out

statement made in New York by John
Alexander Dowie, to the effect that
he had no right to the name Of Dowie,
and that he had painful revelations
that John hurry Dowie was not his
father, is a base and cruel falsehood.
His father is John Murray Dow1e,
Of Essex, Ia, who was born in Scot
and. He resided for many years In
australia. where he was held in high
estimation as a member of the Con-
gregational church and as an honor
lble citizen. Seven years ago he
anne directly to Chicago and joined
lis son, who in a public address, in
great congregation, introduced him
With the highest encomiums, as his
'ather.
The father labored with his son in
ion for three years JW
Four years ago Dowie ban1shed his
father from Zion because the sturdy
old Scotchman held firmly to his for
mer beliefs and would not indorse the
