new SALOON ORDINANCE IS PASSED

The question of the kind of bridgl
for Fourth street caused more wrang-
ling than anything else in the council
meeting last night.
Councilman Glasford was deter
mined to nave his pran of a steel
bridge adopted and resisted every at
tempt Of COuncilmen Kirkman and
Tausick to delay adoption of the plans
for the steel structure until a full
council were present.
He said he did not propose to vote
for putting all the money in one
place and that the steel bridge was
good enough. That if Mr.. Tausick was
not in hurry he did not care, but
he had been trying to get some sort
of bridge that would suit MIN for a
long time. That a good bridge had
been torn out to please the adjoining
property owners and now they wanted
DrluSe costing $l5,OOU.
kirkman Presses 1t.
Councilman Kirkman reiterated his
views given the night before that he
was for a concrete bridge as he be-
lieved in putting the very best bridges
in the business district. Tausick re-
piled that he was glad that Glasford
had such kindly feelings for him.
That he believed a concrete bridge
would be better in the long run for
the city; that the city had expert
mented with the other kind on Main
street and it mad to be propped up.
Durham said he favored the steel
plan and it was adopted by a vote of
four to two,

will cost between $4,000 and $4,000. All
previous bids were rejected and the
clerk authorized to advertise for new
ones. .a.;.,,
The Saloon Ordinance.
The much discussed saloon ordi-
nance was brought up on it's third
reading and passed. Glasford alone
voted against it. The substance of
the new ordinance is as follows:
"Any licensee hereunder who shall
violate the terms of his license shall
forfeit the same and the city council
shall have full authority and power
to declare license forfeited for the
violation of any of the terms upon
which it is granted. The city council
shall have full authority and power,
upon conviction of any licensee here
under in a court of competent juris-
diction, of the violation of any of the
terms of his license, to forfeit the
same, provided, however, that the city
council shall have full authority and
power upon notice and hearing to de-
clare a license forfeited whenever It
shall appear to the city council that
any licensee is not a fit and proper
person to conduct a drinking saloon"

of the council thought that such a

for two of his boys and let Keith work
on my place. He was very poor and
could get nothing else to do.
Later he left, but came back last

place. Then was when he began to

Il got the boy back. In Canada the
law gives him to me. 1 would have
no such trouble as I am having here.
That made my wife come back and
she stayed with me until May, when
she skipped again, with the boy.
Il could get no track Of her but
heard that she and Keith were living
in Wallula about three weeks ago and
came down at once. 1 found they had
been living as man and wife at WAL
lula for two. months She went as
Mrs. Keith and said the boy was
Keith's. She has tried to run off with
the boy so much and skipped from
place to place so often that I am
afraid she will again. That is why I
wanted to get him where he would be
