The Republicans
Were NotA sked
Into Caucus.
REFUSE TO VOTE

The second meeting of the new ex-
else board last night in the council
chamber of city hall resulted in a tilt
between the republican and demo-
cratic members.
The trouble arose just before the
beginning of the meeting, when the
three democratic members of the
board held caucus behind closed
doors IN the ante-room of the council
chamber, until nearly 3 O'Clock.
The two republican members,
r. II. Walker and w. H. Cheshire,
grew uneasy shortly before the meet
ing was called and were on the point
OF leaving for home The three demo-
cratic members, President Mulchahey,
and Commissioners Meshrow and Sea-
man, retired from the ante-room and
came out with papers in hand ready
for work.
President Mulchahey called the
meeting to order just before 9 o'clock.
Clerk Mac William read the minutes
of the last meeting, after which the
board prepared to act on number of
applications for remarks. Just be-
fore the voting commenced Commits
sIoner Cheshire arose and stated that
in view of the fact that the three
democratic members had held cau-
,cus before the meeting and consider
ed applications, and as he was entire
ly ignorant of what was to be done,
he asked to be excused from voting.
Following this Commissioner Walker
took the floor and likewise asked TO
be excused from voting on applica-
tions, which he felt he could not vote
inaelligently upon. Following Mr..
Walkers statement silence reigned
for short time.
The meeting was later continued
with only the. three democratic mem-
bers participating. The two republic
an commissioners occupied their usu-
al places but did not act throughout
the meeting.
Transfer Revoked.
The recently granted transfer of
Reuben Mailer, from 1882 State street
TO the northeast corner of State and
Fayette Streets. which had beon
granted by the old board. was revok-
cd because of its adjacence to the st.
Marys school house, 6stng less than

and the board acted on the resolution

METER RAN
WRONG WAY.

A we'll known property owner made
complaint to the water department
few days ago that his bills were too
large. An official of the department
went to the house and on examining
the meter discovered that it had been
running backwards instead of cor
rectly.
The blame for the occurrence is
placed on one of the employees, who
accidentally set the meter the wrong
way when he connected il with the
main.

NO CROOKED RACES.
Walla WalIa Fair Man Says Every
thing Must he Square.

"Crooked riding and fixed races
will not be tolerated on the Walla
Walla track during the coming coun-
ty fair, If it is possible for the fair
association and judges to get next
to those who use such methods for
their own financial benefit" said r..
b. Caswell, one of the directors of
the Walla Walla County Fair associa-
tion, says the Walla Walla Bulletin.
"There has been great deal of this
sort of thing going on all over the
circuit" he continued, "but 1t will
have to stop in Walla Walla. There
were two riders ruled out in Spokane
for this sort of work, and there was
some trouble at the Meadows this
summer, but, nevertheless, it has not
been stopped, and it remains for the
association here to stop it."
Mr.. Caswell stated that not only
the riders would be ruled off the
track, but the purses would not be
paid to any horse that entered the
race under these conditions. Crook
ed "bookies" and pool makers will
have to be very careful in Walla Wal
la II they try to throw" any races,
as they will be watched closely.

a gloom Of sadness was cast over
the nine Hawaiian girls yesterday
"Diamond-Head Charley" of Homo

ley" is one of the most familiar
characters in the islands, says the
Oregon Daily Journal. For years he
had been keeper of the light at Dia-
mond Head it it was his duty, night
and day to report the sighting of the
vessels from all parts of the world.
Everyone who visits the Hawaiian
Islands has seen the Diamond Head

first thing seen by the passengers.
Diamond Head Charley" was always
on hand at the lighthouse to show
the visitors through the structure and
explain its workings. In this way he
came in contact with people from
all parts of the world. He was every

OREGON pRuNEs $1,000, 900.
Immense crop Is Being Harvested all
Over the State.

"oregon prunes will bring to
growers this season $1,2O0,O00, APP
proximately," said II. M. Williamson,
secretary Of the state board of hor-
ticulture, this morning, according to
figures gathered by Wilbur X. New
ell, president Of the state board In
round numbers the dried crop is 25,-
100000 pounds, for which the grow
ers will receive ga cents and the
shipper 6h cents. The shipper will
receive more than $1,600,O0O for the
crop he handles, says the Oregon
Daily Journal.
"The season has been a very fa-
vorable one for prunes," continued
Mr.. Williamson. practically the
whole yield has been saved, which
brings the estimate up to a high fig
ure. Last year the crop was not
worth more than 100000, Plenty
of sunshine has put the quality into
the fruit.
"In the counties in the northern
part of the Willamette valley pruncs
Ovid the best and the quality and
yield has never been exceeded, per-
haps. This includes Yamhill, Clack-
amas, Washington and Multnomah
counties, but especially the two first
named. Sales of fresh fruit in the
eastern part of the state were also
large, amounting to more than $780,
600.
"Never has the grape crop been as
good in every respect as 1t is this
season. Not for years have we been
favored with so much warm sunshine
during the carly part of October.
And grapes must have sunshine to
make them sweet Oregon grapes
will sell this year side by side with
the best in the market.
There has been some complaint
regarding the quick ripening that is
making 1t difficult to gather all the
grapes when in the best possible con-
dition. Otherwie the season is ideal
and could not be improved. I hope
the people Of the state will appreciate
the favorable condition in the grape
situation and take particular care.
The results will be gratifying, both to
the grower and buyer"

The Spokane Chronicle is authority
for the statement that a plan is for
mulating to attack the direct primary
law of this state, passed by the last
legislature, on the grounds of its con-
stitutionality, says the Walla Walla
Bulletin. The Chronicle intimates
that the Mead administration is back
of the plan. In view of the fact that
Mead has repeatedly gone on record
as being in favor of the primary law
the assertion that he is in a deal to
have its provisions annulled seems
almost incredible.
