council meeting Thursday evening. The
most important matter to come before
the council was the report of the special
committee appointed at the previous
meeting to investigate the sewer propo-
sition. The committee reported that
engineers were now at work on the plans.
and that as soon as the necessary red
tape could be unwound, work could pro-
gress. The cost of the proposed system
will be some $210O, and by unanimous
vote, the council decided to proceed to
install the system. Connection will be
made with the college system, below the
o. r. & N. depot. As the matter could
not be concluded Thursday evening, an
adjourned session will be held tonight
when definite arrangements will be made
A number of applications for extension
of water mains were made, and the water
committee will investigate. Application
of Whitcher q Cleland for license for
billiard and pool tables was referred to
the finance committee.
The board of regents, at the annual
meeting held this week elected f. T.
Barnard president of the board r. G.
McCroskey vice-president, and U. L.
Ettinger, treasurer. Among the work
transacted was the establishment of the
department of geology, with Solon Shedd
as professor, and the making of Prof.
Beach professor of history and acting
head of the department of economic sci
ence and history. The board also dis
cussed the need of new building to be
used for recitation ICONS, there not be-
ing sufficient room in the present build
ings for both laboratory and recitation
purposes. A proper building for the
purpose would probably have to be some
what after the plan of the Chemistry
building, and will require an appropria-
ton of $50 900 to $40, 900.
Rev. Sargent and A. X. Finley have
returned from a weeks trip to Oregon

will be $4,000 1t will be built On Me-
chanics hill.

amount cleared was $3.50, most of which

They wish to thank the directors of the
l. 0. o. F. hall and all others who SO
kindly aided Them also the public for
its liberal patronage. Many have re-
quested that they give an election din
ner, and it is probable that they will.

has taken a change of venue to justice

Powers was hauling brick from the rail
road to the new building on Grand aud
