He also charged the members

During the heated debate on
the question of taking the mat~

that such an action would be
regarded as an insult by them
and they would resign from
the committee.
Messrs. Lambert, Emmert and
Thompson, members of the
committee, got on their feet and
gave the mayor an unmerciful
scoring, characterizing his
action as childish and unwar>
ranted, and actuated by mos
tives that were exceedingly
small. The mayor replied to

it came to a vote, as the council

WAS A WARM SESSION
+ock Horns With the Mayor Over
Question Of a P ark For City.
SPECIAL COMMITTEE CREATED

~ HOHf- W Ht VI - 49, 80 =
Matter Is Taken Out Of the Hands of
Real Estate Committee and Several
Members Threa. ems to Resign.
One of the hottest sessions of
the city council that has been
held for a long time was the
special meeting called by the
mayor for O'Clock Monday af>
ternoon forthe purpose of TAX
ing the project of a park at old
water works out of the hands of
the real estate committee and
placing it in the hands of a
special committee to be ap>
pointed by the mayor and to be
subject to his direction This
proposed action was brought
about by the charge of the
mayor that City Clerk Letter
had failed to incorporate the all
legged fact of the appointment
of a park committee in the mo-
ton which was carried at the
regular June meeting, when it
was decided to establish the
park at the old water works.
At that time the council vot-
ed to establish a park at this
point but deferred action on it
until the city's finance were in
better shape. I. was also deeds
ed that any contributions to-
ward the project were to be taxi
en- in charge by the authorities
at the city hall, without specify
ing who the officials were to be.
1t was also proposed at the
time to take the matter out of
the hands of the real estate
committee and place it in the
hands of a park committee, but
this part of the motion was OBJ
jected to. and withdrawn. The
mayor and two or three coun-
cilmen insisted that this had
been made a part of the motion
while the other members of the
council insist just as strongly
that it was not. 1t was on this
point that the mayor and the
members of the real estate
committee locked horns, with
the result that charge and
counter charge of duplicity,
usurpation of authority, un~
truthfulness and other polite
and complimentary terms We're
freely handed about.
The animus of the affair was
contained in the action of the
real estate committee taking
the chain gang to work at the
Kilmer springs this morning
without consulting the mayor.
Mr.. Enmert, chairman of the
water committee, had given Mr..
Thompon, chairman of the real
estate committee, the power to
take the chain gang out of the
lock up under the power grant,
ed to him (Mr. Emmer) by the
city ordinance on that subject.
The mayor thereupon got a
written opinion from City Att
torney Lemen to the effect that
this cannot be done; shat no
prisoners may be removed
from the lookup without per-
mission of the mayor, etc. So
far as the laws are concerned
there was a direct conflict, and
it appears that both sides to the

ON OREGON'S BIRTH
JUNE is, 1914, GAVE THE
STATE TO AMERICA.
Day Was Celebrated at the Lewis and
Clark Exposition by an Elaborate
Program-State Buildings Formally
Turned Over-Presdent Myers and
Governor Chamberlain Made Ad-
dresses.

Portland, June 15.-At the presi-
boundary question was one of the
issues upon which Polk was elected
president. Statesmen made fiery
speeches and the country seemed on
the verge of another war with Great
Britain.
But wiser counsel prevailed, and on
June Is, 1916, at a convention of the
representatives of the two countries,
the difficulty was settled by a COM
promise fixing the 49th parallel as
the northern boundary of the oregon
country. while Vancouver Island was
given to the British. Free navigation
was granted both nations, and rights
of actual possession of land on both
sides of the boundary line were to be
respected by both.
It was SO years ago today that the
treaty was signed between the United
States and Great Britain. According
ly, in commemoration of that event
this date, June Is, 1905, has been Sc
lected as the date of the dedication
of the Oregon building at the. Lewis
and Clark fair. The ceremonies at
tending the formal dedication were
among the most elaborate and inter-
estlng features of the great exposi-
| ton.
The ceremonies began at o'clock,
when Jefferson Myers, president of
the Oregon state commission of the
Lewis and Clark fair, turned over TO
Governor Chamberlain the property
of the state and the work of several
years was completed.
President Myers acted as chairman
at the exercises. Invocation was pro-
nounced by Rev. j. r. N. Bell, of
Baker City An address was delivered
by Commissioner j. H. Alberts, chair
man of the building committee, pre-
senting the buildings to the governor
in behalf Of the commission.
Governor Chamberlain delivered an
address, formally accepting the build
ings in behalf of the state of Ore
gon. Mrs. Clara B. Waldo, grand
lecturer Of the Oregon State Grange,
was the next speaker, and was fol-
lowed by B. F. Mulkey, president Of
the Southern Oregon Normal school.
During the program the administra-
ton band furnished music.
