MERCHANTS PLAN
ANNUAL OUTING
Committee Appointed Last Evening to
Arrange for Excursion-Prob-
ably Peoria.

A short meeting of the Retail Mer.
chants association was held last even
ing. The meeting was devoted largely
to discussion of the annual outing
and excursion. Peoria seemed to be
favored by the members. and the mem
bers authorized committee composed
of E B. McKown. F. T. Myers, and T.
F. LaVelle to plan for the excursion.
The committee was not instructed TO
make arrangements TO Peoria. but as
that city is favored. it is probable that
the excursion will be to that place.
President q. H. Kingsbury gave an
interesting talk on the organization of
merchants in various cities of the
state along special lines of business.
In the state there are local organiZa-
tions of almost every different retail
business. The advantages of these
were explained and an interesting dis
cussion INDUCED in by the members of

President-William Jackson.

A meeting will be held at LongView
park tomorrow afternoon to look into
the needs of that pretty tract. The
members desire TO familiaTize them
selves with the plans for the improve
ment of Longview and the work that
is necessary to execute them, so that
if the city council apprOpriates funds
for the purpose, no time need be lost
in proceeding with operations. 1t is
hoped that Longview will be literally
remembered when the funds are APP
portiOned for next year.
While they have not agreed TO any
recommendation as to the amount de-
sired, members of the park board think
LOngview should have $1,000 this year
Two years ago. it will be remembered
the councils appropriation was not
used because it was impossible to get
bidders for the job of grading the
driveways and walks. and the sum set
aside was returned TO the city's gen
eral fund. Last year very little was
used, and ii is argued that the park
now ought to have a credit with the
other municipal departments of two
or three thousand dollars

RAISES PUMP FEUD
Another Fight Brewing in the City
Council Over Ma
chineFy.
SEXTON STARTS SOMETHING
Committee Will Investigate Needs and
Report TO the counciI-WiII Prob
ably Buy This Time.

Another pump" storm is brewing in
| the city council IL started last even
| ing. Aid. Sexton, of the waterworks
committee, called attention to the con-
dition of affairs at the waterworks and
introduced resolution, which was
passed, providing for the appointment
of three members TO act with the wa
terwOrks committee in the investiga-
ton of the conditions at the plant and
at the reservoir station.
Nothing to Fight About.
There was really nothing to fight
about last evening, as all were agreed
| that there should be an investigation
and il seemed To be the opinion of most
of the aldermen who have Investigated
that there ought to be additional serv-
ice placed in the waterworks. But the
mention OF pump seems to be similar
TO one boy knocking a chip from an
others shouldn't means fight, Wheth-
or there is anything TO fight about or
not.
The immediate cause of the investi-
cation is in the fact that the large
pump again broke down yesterday

all, day and most of two nights. The
smaller pump. which is kept as a re
serve force, has been doing the work,
and with the water already at the res
ervOir. no trouble was experienced, but
in case of fire the city would be in bad
shape.
Scenes of Year Ago.
AS the question came up, it brought
back the scenes of little over year
ago, when the pump question was
fought out in the council Chairman
Robbins with the waterwoTks commit
tee having recommended the purchase
of a new pump, and majority of the
council finally voting the proposition
down and deciding to repair the old
one. The old one was repaired and
has been in the service since that
time. but the five million gallon pump
has been bearing the long end of the
service, being kept going at all times,
unless some imperfection put it out of
commission. The pump is in good
shape, although 1t has been running
for about ten years, but il is consider
ed necessary to have more reserve
power than the smaller pump supplies.
Committee Appointed.
On that committee Mayor McCaskrin
appointed Aids. Robbins, Anderson and
Dauber The waterwoTks committee
consists of Aids. Sexton. Wilson and
Eckhart This committee will investf-
gate the condition. securing such infor-
nation as is needed from the superin-
tendent or calling in other experts. as
they sometimes do under such condi-
tions, and make a report back to the
council, when the question of purchase
will be taken up if it is decided that
one is needed
