CITY ACCOUNTS
COUNCIL HAS SHORT SESSION
BUT TRANSLATES LARGE VOL
UME OF BUSINESS.

While, the session of the city cOun-
Gil last evening lasted but one hour,
large grist of routine business was
transacted. The first important mat
ter to come before the attention of the
council was the report of the water
office for the month of August. The
report showed a total revenue of ST.
1906, with a total expense of $1759.O6,
showing net profit of $500.
The following report from the city
cemetery committee was. read and
adop. ed by the council: That a new
map of the old cemetery, and that a
duplicate set of books be purchased
one set to be kept by the sexton ard
the other by the city clerk. That
hand cart be purchased for the use of
the sex on in gathering rubbish. 1t was
announced by the committee that the
records of the cemetery at present
would be destroyed in case of fire, and
that it was necessary to have a dupli-
ton and the other in the clerks Of
flee.
The matter Of exporting the city
books was definitely decided upon and
Fred Greene and w. H. Slime were
employed for the purpose. Fred Green
will expert the books of the water de-
par ment and w. H. Slime will check
the books of the other city officers.
, Liquor licenses were granted to A.
Cassen of the Crane saloon and to
Charles Prather, of the ''U and T. sa-
loon.

STREET LIGHTS FOR FAIR
BUSINESS MEN WANT CARNIVAL
DECORATIONS TO REMAIN
IN PLACE.

The electrical decorations which
were used during festival week will no
doubt remain in the business districts
of the city during the coming county
fair: at least this is the contention of
a number of local business men, who
are willing, if necessary to pay the
additional charges for the Juice" dur
ing fair week.
The idea was advanced some time
ago, but owing to a rumOr which was
in circulation to the effect that the
wires and lights We're the property of
a Portland firm and that they were
borrowed for the occasion, the idea was
abandoned until last evening, when a
party of businessmen took the matter
up with the members of the fair aSSO-
citation and it was found that the cleo
trio equipment was the property of the
Walla Walla Gas & Electric company
and that for the consideration of a
small amount the company would con-
sent to it's use during the county fair
week.
Secretary A. c. Van De Water is of
the opinion that a collection, sufficient
to maintain the lights, can be raised
without trouble.

MONEY RAISED
FOR OPEN RIVER
WILL PURCHASE BOATS TO BE
OPERATED ON UPPER
COLUMBIA

AS the result of a series of lectures
ject delivered by DR.. n. G.. BlalOck at
PascO and KenneWick recently, nearly
$1,000 was subscribed in stocks. This
money will be used in furthering the
great undertaking and purchasing at
least one new boat for river use.
Speaking of his address delivered at
Pasco, Monday evening, Mr.. Blalock
said: L had a very interesting au
dience to talk to. Every person pres
ent was very enthusiastic in the great
work, and l had but little difficulty in
raising subscriptions.
I'VE have now the steamer y. N.
Teal" running on the lower river and
the steamer. Relief operating between
Cello and Umatilla. 1t is our further
which will make regular trips from that
place to Kennewick and Pasco. The
Open River Transportation company
assures us that if We will take $4,000
in the company for the purpose of pur-
chasing the Norma" they will raise
the rest and convert her into an oil
steamer.
I'VE are greatly indebted for the as
sistance given us by Col. Roessler, the
government efficient engineer who is
now in charge of the work Oh the Co
lumbia river. He assures us that the
| five points of difficult passage along
| he river will be opened as soon as
possible
Il am more enthusiastic than ever
over the brilliant prospects and the
great result which will be accom-
! plished as soon as the river is open.

and passenger transportation will be
of the very best.
When the locks of the Cascades
were completed the freight rates from
! Portland to The Dalles. 80 miles, on

| one week after the completion of those
locks, boats made their trips regularly
! between Pasco and The Dalles and re-
| duced the rates to 81 per ton. Within
| L few days the same rates were placed
| on the O. r. & n. traffic and they
continued the same until today The
same ratio will be given from Pasco
% Portland if they can but have the
means, and do you know what that
would mean if the rates would be re-
luced over all this Inland Empire? It
would mean a saving to the producers

MANY MEN OUT
OF EMPLOYMENT
WHEN FLEET SAILS FOR PACIFIC
THERE WILL BE NO WORK
FOR $1,000.

| WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-One of
the many questions the United States
government will have to consider in
cidental to the coming cruise of the At
lantic fleet around the horn is prOvid-
ing a means of living for the $4,000
men who are 10 be left without work
on the Atlantic coast. This question
was brought pOintedly to the attention
of the navy department today when it
was decided that the battleship Louis
lana must delay her target practice
and stay for repairs at Norfolk to
provide work for the men at that yard.
In the navy yards on the Atlantic
coast are about $4,000 men. OF these
1000 are at the Washington yard, Bats
at New York and 2069 at Norfolk. 2974
at Boston, 1884 at League Island and
| S66 at Portsmouth, without consid
ering the skilled men employed at
| Charleston and other points. The
question is what to give the men to
do when the fleet goes to the Pacific.
Fleet Will Move.
One suggestion openly advised by
many officers is that congress au-
thorize the building of new ships ana
thus keep the men busy. Another sug-
gestion is that the men be sent to navy
yards on the Pacific coast. but as the
ships are to leave here in first class
condition this suggestion is considered
hardly warranted. Rumors that inter-
ests dependent on the fleet remaining
on the Atlantic coast would raise many
obstacles to the Pacific trip have not
proved true. 1t is realized that con-
gress has no say in the matter ard
that no outside influences can make
the president change his mind.
Many interesting circumstances are
coming to the surface to show the eX-
gone and is preparing to go TO insure
the success of the gigantic naval de-
monstratiOn. A new obstacle is
found in an existing law which i'm

SPEAKER CANNON
AND THE LUNAHC

The Hon. Joseph G. Cannon, Speaker
of the House of Representatives, was
riding in a street car in Washington,
D. c., says Harper's Weekly, when an
elderly man, with nervous manner
and rather wild look, entered the car
and took the seat next to him. There
upon ensued a conversation which is
thus reported in the paper named:
After a short time the man, turning
suddenly on Mr.. Cannon, demanded,
DO you know what I am going to do?'
mo- replied Mr.. Cannon.
4 am going to have all the bones of
my ancestors collected, mounted with
silver, and hung on the walls of my
room,'' said the man.
Il would not do that said Mr.. Can
non.
Why" demanded the man.
We'll" replied Mr.. Cannon, you
can not expect to live more than TWEEN
ty years at the most, and when you die
all the bones of your ancestors will be
thrown out in the ash-barrel, and you
would not like that
No. said the man: 81 never thought
of that. I'll have to think that over
addressed Mr.. Cannon In the same
manner.
DO you know what I am going to
do?"
NO" replied Mr.. Cannon.
Il am going to dig a hole in the earth
one hundred miles deep and three miles
in circumference" said the man.
Il would not do that replied Mr.
Cannon.
WHY" demanded the man.
Because you can not tell what you
would find so far down in the earth, !"
replied Mr.. Cannon; besides, you
would be worried to death by the labor
unions"
Il never thought of that" said the
man. TIL have to think that over"
After a slightly longer period of ST.
lence the man once more addressed Mr..
Cannon.
DO you know what I am going to
do?''
mo replied Mr.. Cannon.
Il am going out West and sink one
hundred thousand artes1an wells all
over the plains,' said the man.
Il would not do that" replied Mr..
Cannon.
Why" demanded the man.
Because" replied Mr.. Cannon, Il
know you do not wish to injure any
one, and as water is scarce supply of
you would cut off the water supply of
many cities and towns"
L never thought of that" said the
man. I'll have to think that over
They both left the car as it was near
ing the Capitol, and the man remarked,
You and I don't seem to agree"
The other passengers had greatly en-
ioyed the conversation, and one #
them remarked to his ne1ghbor, Which
of those two old gentlemen was II
crazfer?"
But his neighbor gave it up.

Merry charges the Nicaraguan gov

cablegrams.
Reticence is maintained by officials
as to the action to be taken, but the

dent Zelaya, who may feel obliged to
stop his hostile operations against
