Of Arizonia, New Mexico and Califor'

and his reports furnished much need
ed and important information con.
corning both plans. He Joined the
reclamation service Immediately after
the passage of the reclamation act,
and since that time has taken part In
all the engineering work connected
Herewith.
Mr.. Davis is a man of great Indus

characteristics are clear Judgment

Council Proceedings.

The 39th regular session OF the
city council convened last Tuesday
in the council chamber, and upon
roll call all were found to be pres
ent except Alderman Jobes. who
was doubtless preparing for Christ
mas.
The ball was opened by Mayor
Couch declaring the election of a
councilman to succeed Peter Aut-
zen of the Second Ward to be in
order. When the ballot was can
vassed it was found that ]. 7. Pet
erson, the genial counter jumper in
the Prall Mercantile Co.'s estab-
lishment, had received four votes
and Mr.. Brice one vote. and the
mayor declared Mr.. Peterson elect
ed to fill the vacancy. Therefore
the cigars are on John and we will
call for ours as soon as our Christ
mas box is empty.
The petition Of Edmondson Co.
was brought up, but as the council
had not satisfied themselves as to
the matter il was deferred until
next meeting.
The petition OF the St. Johns
Water Co. requesting that the
locations of the three fire hydrants
authorized for installation Septem-
Der 3 be changed to read, lone at
the corner of Hayes and Fessenden,
one at Hayes and Catlin and one at
Jersey and Chicago" was granted.
S. V. Davidor, for the st. Johns
Gas Light and Heat company, pre-
sented his bonds as required by the
terms of his franchise, but the
mayor and city attorney did not
think they filed the requirements
of that document. Mr.. Davidor
and his attorney agreed to present
other bonds as desired by the
mayor if they were given further
time. On motion of King they
were given 80 days further time,
with but the one dissenting vote of
Alderman Dobie.
The following bids for heating
apparatus were: Potter & Goold,
one furnace plan, $493; same firm,
two furnace plan, $343; c. l..
Johnson, Portland, S365; ]. G..
Boyer and Co.. Portland, s275. On
motion Of Walker the mayor ap-
pointed a committee consisting OF
Leggett and Walker to investigate
the merits Of the different heaters
and report at the next meeting.
The appointment of b. F.Noonan
! as FIRE chief was confirmed by the
