At the council meeting last night
Mayor James A. Fee read his annual
reports were likewise submitted by
the recorder and the finance COM
mittee. The mayors address, which
contains many strong recommenda-
tlons regarding future improvements
and likewise considerable praise for
the present council. is given in full
below:
Council Reverses Itself.
Aside from the annual reports and
the mayors message the most import
ant action last night was upon the
subject OF accepting the Court street
gutter and curb work. When the time
arrived to take up that subject the
veto OF the mayor was IN readiness.
However, II was never read, for
Councilman Murphy moved that the
former action Of the council, in ac-
cepting the entire Court street work.
be reconsidered. The motion was
carried. and when the original motion
was put to a vote It received no sup
port.
o. 1rfrniedIately after the apove action
had been taken Councilman Murphy
moved that n warrant for $4,000 be
drawn in favor of the Warren Con-
struction company in part payment
OF the amount owed by the city for
the work on the squares. In making
the motion he specified that the pay
ment should in no way involve an ac-
ceptance Of the work done by the COM
pany The motion was carried. It
was then declared that property own
ers could pay their paving assess
ments at once and that the bond OF
the paving company would be suffi-
cient to insure repairs on the cutters
and curbs where such is necessary.
The Mayors Message.
To the Common Council of the City of
Pendleton.
Gentlemen:
The law requires the mayor at the
first meeting each year to state to the
council the financial condition of the
city; and, I'm performing that duty. I
deem II proper TO call your attention
to some things very essential to the
growth and progress of the city.
The city will increase in wealth and
population by the adoption of a new
charter which will confer upon its in
habitants greater facilities for financ-
ing the improvement of its streets and
levee, and the construction of a city
hall. and providing for greater fire
and police protection.
This charter should be broad and
liberal. and should confer upon you
greater authority in making public
improvements, and increase your
power in guarding the moral and in
tellectual welfare of the inhabitants
of the city.
The work of improving the streets
should be continued. but you should
keep within reasonable limits, and
not unnecessarily distress the prop
erty owners.
The work commenced upon the
levee should be continued until every
foot OF It Is put In first-class con-
dition down to a firm foundation, so
that II may be able to withstand any
extraordinary freshet, and thus pre-
serve the property of the city and the
lives of its inhabitants.
A new city hall should be erected
the coming year. At the present,
aside from street and levee improve
ment, no other public work is so
much needed.
All reasonable effort should be
made by the people of the city to es-

Senator's Smith and Cole and Rep
resentative Barrett came up from Sa-
lem this morning and will remain at
home until Sunday. The legislature
adjourned yesterday because of the
delay in printing supplies and bills.
The state printing plant is behind
with its work on account of moving
the office and the work of the legis-
lature was hindered by the lack Of
printed supplies.
All the members of the Umatilla
county delegation are enthusiastic
over the excellent beginning made by
the legislature. All express the be-
lief that the present session will re-
suit ia, Orably for eastern Oregon,
and that much valuable work will be
done.
The legislature settled down to ac-
tual business on the first day of the
session and while but few bills have
heen presented, yet those so far pre-
scntcd are very important and mean
much fer the welfare of the state,
Smith Is Active.
Among the bills introduced in the
legislstu by the Umatilla county
delegation are the following. Sem
ate ill No. -. ny Senator Smith, to
authorize school districts of the first
class to make the tax levy without
action on part of the taxpayers; sem
ate bill No. IS, by Smith, to make the
legal rate of interest on Umatilla
county warrants per cent instead
of 6. BY the adoption of this bill
saving of $1,000 will be made to this
county. According to Senator Smith
his hill has aroused much interest
among senators from other counties
and it is possible the measure will
be changed so as to include Jackson.
Clackamas and possibly other ccun-
ties.
Another bill started upon its way
by Senator Smith was senate bill No.
81, which authorizes boards of health
to establish and enforce guarantees,
Tie senator also introduced in the
senate the hill for the calendar which
embodied the idea of State Printer
Duniway and produces a saving of
81 I,UUU 10 lIle state.
For Branch Asylum.
Another matter of Importance that
is heing fostered by Senator Smith,
| is that of action looking to a consti-
tutional change that will permit of 4
branch asylum haing established in
this city. Next week he will intro
duce a resolution upon that subject
and as he is 4 member of the resolu-
ticns committee will be in an ex-
cellent position to advocate the meas
ure before the committee. Under
the present legislative rules all reso-
lutions nature, must he passed upon
by the resolutions committee, thereby
making that body a very important
one. 1t is the only permanent sem
ate committee so far appointed and is
composed of Senators Kay, Bower
man, Smith of Umatilla, Bingham
| and Wright.
District Fair Bill.
The district fair bill. which pro-
vides for s25O0 per annum for the
Umatilla-Morrow county fair instead
| of $500 as last year, was introduced
yesterday by Senator Smith. The bill
regarding the Grant-Umatilla county
boundary line will be presented short
ly.
The trust bill recently drafted by
Senator Smith and published in this
paper, has been investigated and re-
ported upon favorably by the attor-
ney general. 1t has also been learned

A MITE OF A DOG.
The Smallest Dog in the World a Little
Princess Gift

The Princess Windisclgratz is the
granddaughter of the Emperor Of Aus
tria When she was but about eleven
years old she was known and loved as
''thc little Princess Elizabeth"
There lived a baker in the city Of Vi
emma whose wife was particularly fond
of the little Princess Elizabeth. This
bakers wife had, in 1891. Il tiny white
dwarf dog given her. which was 50 small
that when full-GrOwn it could sit on
Iady's hand. SO small a dog had never
been seen before, and people often came
to the house on purpose to look ut it.
1t was Christmas eve. The bakers
wife dressed herself in her Sunday best,
put the dog in basket lined with pink
satin and went to the palace where lEliZ-
abeth lived. No stranger was allowed
to go into the palace except by permits
sion. She showed the dog to the guards,
and they were 50 delighted with it that
they managed to get her into the palacc
and when once in it was not very diff
cult to obtain permission from the court
authorities to see Princess StophdniC. the
mother Of the little Princess Elizabeth.
"Iour royal highness," said the bakers
wife, y hope that you Will allow me to
present little gift to your daughter this
Christmas evc?" and then she uncovered
the basket with the tiny white dog in it.
Wasn't the Princess Stephauic delight
ed with it? And Of course the little
Princess Elizabeth was. She loved it
more than any Of the rich gifts which
she received for Christmas. The dog
never grew to be more than five inches
high.

COLLIER JURY TO
ASK FOR LENIENCY.
Jurors Hold a Meeting and Object to
Plea for Prison Term in
Auto Case.

hENOSHA, Wis, April o. Special.
A remarkable state of affairs has been
brought to light in connection with the
sentence of Ted Collier, who recently was
convicted of manslaughter. 1t became
known today that members of the jury
which tried Collier have held Il meeting
which may save Collier from a prison
term. 1t is stated on authority that
members of the jury are ready TO go be-
fore the district attorney and Judge
BeIden and plead for leniency for the
convicted man.
One OF the jurors in an interview
said: In all Of cur consideration of the
guilt or Collier not once did we consider
1t possible that Collier would be sent
TO PRISON. The understanding among the
jurors was that should we vote to find
Collier guilty, he would pay 4 fine. At
the meeting of jurors Saturday two of
the men who had voted from the first
Tor conviction were present and sug-
gcSted going before the district attorney
and the court and in some manner show
ing the opinion oil the jurors in regard to
the penalty for Collier The court handed
us two forms of verdict and neither oil
tcret us amy chance To make any recon-
mcndatOu rs to the penalty that should
be imposed. We ali felt that for the
best interests Of the community Collier
should be fined, hut not one contem-
plated the possibility of Il prison sen
tencc. l am certain that the sentiment
of the three jurors will be sanctioned
by every man who sat on that jury"
The statement of this juror. who is one
of the best known farmers in kcuosha
county, is one OF the most unusual ever
made and it is thought that this is the
first time in the history of the circuit
court here that members of Il jury held
a conference for the purpose Of appeal
ing to the court for sniency for the man
they convicted of crime 1t is not known
whether any suggestion from the jury
the district attorney.
The matter of the sentence Of Collier
will be taken up by Judge Belden prob
ably Il week from today.
