AWAKENED KEEN INTEREST
IMPORTANT MATTERS TO BE
CONSIDERED At COMING sES-
SION OF CONGRESS.
Tariff and Railroad Legislation Is
Looked for-Panama Canal Will
Have Inning.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 3.-The
presidents announcement that he will
call a session of congress for the mid
die of November has awakened keen
public interest as to the matters that
will be brought forward for considera-
ton and action. 1t may be confidently
stated that the session will deal pre-
eminently with business questions.
The captains of industry will be sum-
moned to give their testimony in the
committee-room hearings. Tariff and
railroad rate questions, and the bust
ness aspects of the Panama enterprise
will be the subjects demanding atten-
ton, and they will come in peculiarly
pressing form.
Germanys action in putting ex-
IRENE barriers against our trade has
alarmed the middle west, and the reci-
procity congress which has been called
in Chicago for the middle of the month
will be expressive of an awakening of
western interests in the nations trade
outlets. The apparent decision of
Canada to get along without this coun-
try in its trade relations, building up
it's own industries, points in the same
direction. The threatened Chinese boy
colt Of American goods is occasioning
some disquietude. Efforts are being
made to adjust the threatened diff
culties by diplomacy, but it is proba-
BILE that the success of such action
will depend on the cooperation of
congress.
The prospect of success Of any leg
islation affecting the tariff may OBJ
viously be Influenced by the railroad
hate situation. 1t would be natural
for the stand patters" on both ques-
tions to unite forces in favor of letting
things alone. The fight will come from
the senate. It's leaders are apparently
determined, whatever else may be
done in railroad legislation, that there
shall be no transfer of rate-maklng
mower from the hands of the owners
of railroad properties to any public
agency; and, of course, the power to
superyise or adjust rates implies this.
The senators who hold this view may
not be in a numerical majority and
hence the possibility of their needing
an alliance with the opponents OF the
tariff changes. That they can control
the senate admits little question.

CITY COUNCIL TOOK PRELlMiN-
AIRY STEPS TO IMPROVE
STREETS LAST NIGHT.
Sale of City Property to Y. M. c. A..
Held up-Movement for New
City Hall.

The first definite steps toward the
improvement of Fourth street from
the bridge to Elm and Elm from Fourth
to the Oregon Railway and Navigation
company's depot was taken last night
by the city council. A resolution pre-
scented by Councilman Martin direct
ing the city clerk to proceed under the
city ordinances relative to street i'm
provements was unanimously passed.
1t is the intention to make the i'm
provement by paving, the material to
be used to be decided by the prop
erty owners in the district.
Giasford Did Not Like the Price.
The only subject that brought forth
any discussion at the meeting last
night was the adoption Of the report
of the finance committee relative to
the petition for the sale of the city's
property on Spokane street which is
now being used for a city pound. The
committee recommended that the
property be sold to the Y. M. c. A.
committee, which had announced that
it desired to erect the proposed new
building on the land. The price set
for the property was $4,000.
When the motion to adopt the re-
port was presented Councilman Glas-
ford entered a vigorous protest. He
said he believed that the city should
not sell the property at the price rec
commended by the committee, main
tanning that it was too low. He as
serted that while he was heartily in
favor of the movement to secure a
Y. NJ. c. A. building for Walla Walla,
yet he did not believe that the coun-
Gil should let go of it's property below
it's actual value. He claimed that by
the opening Of Spokane street the
property would be greatly enhanced in
value and that it was the duty Of the
council to see that the rights of every
taxpayer was protected. He claimed
that it would not be right for the city
to dispose of the land for less than 500
per front foot, and he would oppose
the proposition.
Councilman Cox favored the adop-
ton of the report on the ground that
if it was purchased by the applicants
it would mean the erection of a hand
some building that would eventually
result in an increase in the value of
all the other property in that particu-
lar locality. He maintained that as
such a building would prove of great
benefit to the people in general and
especially to the young men of Walla
Walla, the city could well afford to
dispose of the property at the figure

House Struck by Lightning.

On Monday afternoon during the
thunder shower in Baker City. light
ming struck residence, but luckily lit
tie damage was done and no one in
jured. The Herald says: James
Hunts residence on Colorado street in
South Baker was struck by lightning
this afternoon at 8 o'clock. Luckily
there was no person in the house at
the time and consequently no one was
hurt. The house was badly damaged
by the lightning, which struck tine roof
and ignited the shingles, so that be-
fore it was put out most Of the roof
had been burned off. The blaze was
discovered by workmen in the Oregon
Lumber Company's mills, who at once
ran to the scene and with the aid OF
buckets and hose succeeded in get
ting the fire under control and finally
putting it out. An alarm was turned
in, but there was no need for the de-
partment as the fire was out by the
time it arrived The loss will proba-
bly, be between two and three nun
dred dollars-Baker City Democrat.

ARMED Guards Will Shoot.

CHICAGO. Aug. 3.-As a result OF
the reckless manner in which some OF
tho automobiles have been speeding
through the Fort Sheridan reserva-
ton along the finely macadamizeo
streets. the post authorities have pu,
on extra guards, armed with Krag-
Jorgensen rifles, to see that the ma
chimes do not run faster than five
miles an hour Every entrance TO the

orders to shoot the tires of the ma
chimes if their orders to malt are
not obeyed.

recommended by the committee even
If it was slightly below its actual
value.
The matter was finally disposed OF
for the time being by laying it on
the table until the next meeting in
order that the entire council could
vote on the proposition.
For New City Hall.
Mayor Hunt instructed the fire de-
partment committee to examine the
plans which were prepared several
months ago by an architect for the
remodeling of the present city hall
and fire station. He advised the COM
mittee to make a careful examination
Of the plans and report whether it
would be practicable to carry out the
proposed improvement during the
present year.
Relative to First Street.
Mrs. Clara Quinn, through her at
torneys, Garrecht & Dunphy, submit
ted a communication in which it was
stated that if the proposed opening of
First street from Main to Rose was
carried out it would result in some
difficulty in settling the rights of the
owner Of large portion of the prop
erty that would be used for the street.
She requested that no further action
be taken until the matter could be
discussed by the city officials and her
attorneys so as to avoid any POSSIBLE
ity of litigation. The matter was re-
ferred to the street committee.
Street Lighting Contract.
Upon the recommendation of the
street light committee the bid of the
Northwestern Gas & Electric company
to furnish street lights for the next
two years was accepted and the con-
tract awarded to the company. The
company agreed to furnish all the
lights that the city should call for at
the rate of SIS per light each year. At
present the city is paying an average
rate of $677 per month for each light,
there being 113 lights in use.

partment committee that the con-
tracts for furnishing of $500 feet of
Victor fire hose at 80 cents per foot
be awarded to the Drumheller COM
pany and that a contract be awarded
to A. B. Olsen to furnish 500 feet of
hose at the same price, was carried
out.
E. D. Mattison was awarded the con-
tract to furnish bonds for the several
officials, his price being for the entire
lot SITS.
The city clerk notified the council
that the Pacific States Telephone &
Telegraph company had filed with him
a map showing the location Of all of it's
underground conduits.

estimates on the cost of paving Third
street from the alley between Alder

given was $1,SSO.51. The clerk was d.
rected to have the necessary papers
and ordinances prepared SO that the
street could be paved at once.
Warrants were ordered drawn in
favor of the water register for the fol-
lowing sums: For sewer extensions,
$4,000; for current expenses $4,000 and
for water pipe $1,000.
