payments to the extent Of four GER

The lie passed and the two men
engaged in a combat. They were
separated by Legislators in a scens

TWO GOOD ORDINANCES.
One VIII Prevent Youngsters From
Assembling at Forbidden Places.

Two ordinances intended for the
betterment of juvenile conditions in
! Pendleton will be presented at the
council meeting this evening and if
passed will make the path of virtue
easier for some of the boys who have
lead erring lives in the past.
One of the ordinances prescribes
that it shall be unlawful for any res
taurant keeper 10 permit a minor
under the age of IS to be served
within his place of business, except
on the written consent of a parent
or guardian or when accompanied by
such a person, between 80 minutes
after sunset and 80 minutes after
sunrise.
The ordinance is intended mainly
for the benefit of ing Goey, whose
place it is alleged has been too fire.
quently visited by young boys The
ordinance contains the emergency
clause.
The second ordinance drafted pro-
hibits a secondhand dealer or other
person from buying rope, sacks,
chain, iron or other junk from boy
under the age Of 1S unless upon the
written consent of a parent or guar
dian. A penalty ranging from a fine
of from So to $500 or of imprison--
ment from two to 90 days is pre-
scribed and this ordinance also has
the emergency provision.
The anti-junk ordinance is meant
to suppress the stealing of small ar
ticles by youngsters who afterwards
sell the same to some of the second-
hand men of the city.

NEW ROUND HOUSE READY.
o. II. & n. Moves Into Fine New
Structure at La Grande.

o. II. Is n. Moves Into Fine New
Structure at la Grande.
Forsaken and abandoned, the old
round house stands awaiting action
by the o. r. & N. as to what shall be
done with it, for the last engine to
be housed beneath its dilapidated
roof left it at IL o'clock this morn
ing, and henceforth the new, modern
and thoroughly equipped structure,
the new round house, will be the
home of all engines, says the La
Grande Observer Engine No. $50
was the last to leave the old home.
A casual inspection of the new
structure reveals much, far too much
to be enumerated in a news item, but
for many of the appliances which 60
to make the building the most mod
ern in Oregon outside OF the Albina
shops are not in working order yet,
is the comfort in which the employees
work. Heated by hot water through
out, there will be no necessity of
numb fingers for the entire structure
is heated to a uniform and comfort
able degree.
While the engines are housed in
the new home, boiler washing is still
done under the old system. and not
until the appliances have been thor
oughly tested. will the up-to-date
methods be employed. This means a
reduction of several hours in the time
required to prepare an engine for
the next run.

MILTON SEEKS
ELECTRIC POWER
BONDS FOR $4,000 EX-
TENSIONS TO BE VOTED
Present Municipal Plant Produces
But 100 Horsepower and the Town
VIII Add 1910 more to Meet De-
mand of Growing INDUSTRIES
Electric Plant Has Been Profitable
for Milton.

That the progressive little city OF
Milton is going to engage in the de-
velopment of electric light and pow
er as a municipal investment is shown
by the fact that the city council has
decided to submit a proposition at the
coming city election for the voting
of bonds to the amount of $40, 900
for the extension of the present mu-
nicipal electric system.
At the present time Milton owns
her own light and power plant,
which produces 160 horse power, and
ii is the wish Of the city council to
secure $40 horsepower additional to
supply the demand for power in that
vicinity.
Additional power can be easily Sc
cured from the Walla Walla river
and the town can sell large guam
tity of power and light and it IS
thought that by extending the plant
sufficient income can be realized from
this source to pay all Of the running
expenses of the town.
The electric lighting system now
owned by Milton has proved to be a
paying investment for the town.
Aside from furnishing cheap light
and power for the residences 1t has
yielded a handsome income and will
soon be paid for out of the receipts
from the plant. The original cost of
the system was $4,000, but it has
been enlarged and is now worth
about $4,000.

TWELVE ARTESIAN WELLS.
Fort Klamath Country Well Supplied
With Flowing Wells.

There are now 12 fine artesian
wells in the Fort klamath country.
At the beginning of the year there
were none, in fact none in klamath
county, and the first one in the Fort
klamath or Hood River valley coun-
try was put down on the Weed ranch
as an experiment.
The last one sunk this season was
on the AL Melhose property. a fine
ranch of 720 acres. At a depth of
1872 feet he secured a large flow Of
water, rising IA feet above ground.
The water will be piped itno the
house and to various parts of the
ranch. In time he expects to have
an artesian well for every 100 acres
giving him a perfect irrigation sys-
TEN of his own. The water has a
faint tinge of sulphur in 1t, but the
cattle on the ranch drink it freely
and like it.-Southern Oregonian.

cars left the track, becoming demol-
ished thereby, while the track also
became torn up,
Owing to the blockaded track the
southbound mixed train was unable
to get past the wreck this morning.
Consequently an extra engine that
was here was sent north with two
cabooses TO bring the passengers to
this city.
The Vansycle grade where the two
wrecks have occurred is a very steep
one and railroad men declare that
II cannot well be improved owing to
the fact that the road has to follow

LAND OFFICE BUSY.
Men Come from Far and Near TO
Make Filings as Usual.


Temporary money stringency has
not affected the business of the To-
cal land offices, says the La Grande
Observer. Men are filing making
applications and making proof just
the same as before.
While payments on proofs are gen.
orally made by exchange papers
there is little gold handled in the
transactions. But regardless of what
the medium of payment is the con-
tinued activity in filing and making
proofs should show that the state of
Oregon has implicit confidence in the
prompt return to normal conditions.
The routine filings and proof maxi
ing that take place in the United
States land office and the William
son land office, bring men here from
every corner OF the state and even
other states. The general opinion of
these men, elected in casual CONVEX
sation, is that conditions are every
where improving.
