East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-04-02

Last night the city council held its
long deferred charter meeting, and
the various changes that have been
drafted by City Attorney McCourt at
the instance of the council, were talk
ed over in detail. 1t was then decid-
ed to take the matter up again at the
meeting tomorrow night and after
wards to hold public meeting for the
purpose of allowing all to participate
in the changing.
OF the various changes proposed,
the most important features are those
providing for increasing the bonded
Indebtedness and for raising the max
imum tax levy. 1t is proposed to issue
new bonds as follows: for levee i'm
provements and redemption of bonds
now due, $4,000; city hall, $4,000;
sewer system, $4,000; streets. 10000.
Under the proposed new charter the
maximum city tax hereafter is fixed at
Q mills, with a possible addition of 2
mills for street purposes. At present
the maximum levy is Z mills, with 2
mills for street purposes.
The proposition of having the prop
erty owners pay for the improvement
of the street intersections has also
been proposed. However, the senti-
ment of the council last night was op-
posed TO that provision and 1t will
probably be eliminated tomorrow
night. 1t is urged that since the city
has already paid for the paving of the
squares on Main street, II would be
showing partiality to the owners in
that section to change the system now.
Hardin Got Contract.
Among other business taken up last
night was the matter of street clean
ing and an ordinance was passed auth
orizing a contract with A. A. Hardin
for the coming year. Mr.. Hardin was
the lowest bidder for that work. hav-
ing offered to clean the paved portions
of the streets for sos per month, and
he has now commenced on his con-
tract.
A resolution was introduced for the
purpose of clearing a defect in the title
of lot 1. block 21, in Arnold & Raley's
addition. The property is owned by
Mamie Brown with the mayor of the
city designated as trustee. The reso-
luton was referred to committee.

Harriman's Accusations.

Hartman wrote the letter to Sidney
Webster, a New York millionaire. The
portion relating to the alleged solicit
tated contribution is as follows:
about n week before the election
oc 1904, when II looked certain the
state ticket would go democratic. and
New York was doubtful as to Roose-
welt himself. the president sent me a
reques; TO go to Washington to con-
fer upon political conditions in New
York. I complied. He told me he
understood the campaign could not be
successfully carried on without suffic-
lent funds, and the national commit
tee had utterly failed of obtaining
them.
81 explained to him I understood
the difficulty here in New York was
mainly caused by the upstate leaders
being unwilling to support Depew for
reelection; that If he, Depew) could
be taken care of in some other way
| thought matters could be adjusted
and different contending elements in
the party brought into close alliance
again. We talked over what could
he done for Depew and finally he
agreed that II found necessary, he
would appoint him ambassador TO
Paris. With the full belief the pres
ident would keep the agreement, I
came back to New York and sent for
Treasurer Bliss, who told me l was the
last hone; that they had exhausted
every other resource. In his presence
| called up my intimate friend Depew
and told him It was necessary. in or
der to carry New York, that $500, 900
should be raised at once, and that II
he would help would subscribe $780,
000." That gentleman said he would
let me know which he did with the
result that the whole amount, includ-
ing my subscription, was raised.
Checks We're given to Blits, who took
them to Cortelyou."

DENTIST DISLOCATED
HIS SPINAL COLUMN.
Man Dies in Chicago Hospital After
Having Tooth Extracted.

Chicago, Aug. 22.-George Davis,
3S years of age. died in the county
hospital today of what was diagnosed
by the physicians as a broken neck.
Davis came to the hospital one week
ago complaining of a pain in his
neck. His right arm was paralyzei,
and the day following his arrival he
was attacked with severe pains in the
spinal column. He told the physi-
clans that he had gone to a dentist
to have a tooth extracted.
The tooth was difficult to extract
and Davis said that the dentist had
jerked him severely. 1t is believed
by the physicians that the dentist dis
located a portion OF the spinal col
umn in the neck by his jerks.

Gen. Greedy holds that the army

doubtless of sufficient nutritive vaue,
in quantity and variety does not sat
isfy the American soldier. When not
supplemented, through supplies from
gardens, post exchange stores, etc, Il
furnishes only a meager monotonous

Washingtos, d. c., Aug. 22.-Maj.
Gen. A. w. Greedy, commanding the
northern division of the army, de-
clares in his annual report that the
main reason for desertion, according
to the universal opinion of commits
pioned and noneommissioned officers,
was inadequate pay. the Jack of the
canteen, and resultant trouble in
dives surrounding the army posts,
and "rhe, low standard and general
worthIessness of recruits" ThS
moral deterioration of the recruits IS
characterized as a corollary of the
small pay given the men.
Gen. Greedy urges an increase OF
nay for the men, a fiye-year term OF
enlistment, material increase in the
strength of the infantry, and restora
ton of the canteen privileges to the
extent OF selling beer, or If the can
teen Is not restored, that there shah
be legislation similarly restricting
the use of liquor by all federal on
Gals and employees.
He says it is beyond reasonable
doubt that the establishment of the
canteen decreases drunkenness, ald
that its elimination has largely in
creased liquor drinking asd dissipa
lion among enlisted men,
Gen. Greedy also urges The neces
sity of materially increasing the pa!
of officers, unless it is contemplate

nection with President Roosevelt's
visit October 2, is being organized on
a big scale by the Business Mems
League, which has placed l.. c. Ir-
vine in charge of this end of the ar
engagements for the waterways cele-
bration. Mr.. Irvine announced yes
terday that he felt certain of having
no less than 100 cities along the
Illinois, Missouri and
Ohio rivers represented in the river
parade. Many of these delegations
will come to st. Louis in steamboats,.
The. assembling of the steamboat
fleet of this size at st. Louis will
have all the elements of a decided
novelty for st. Louisans of the pres
ent generation. Nothing like so large
a river feet has been seen at st.
Louis for thirty years. AS a specta-
Gle the river parade will be unique,
and the results in advertising and
booming the deep waterway move
ment will be effective. The boats
will be massed in the st, Louis har-
Dor TO receive and salute the presi-

Mr.. Irvine is in touch with the

towns along the river as well as some
of the inland cities, and is receiving
Encouraging replies from all points.
Much interest and enthusiasm is
shown in the river demonstration and
the Memphis convention, and the diff
ferent cities exhibit a willingness to
take advantage of the opportunity to
Advertise themselves and boost river
improvements Among the larger
cities which will have chartered boats
are Evansville, Louisville, Cairo,
Cape Girardeau, Alton. Keokuk, Kan
sas City, Quincy and Peoria. Some
of the towns will have an entire boat.
Others will secure reservations on a
boat chartered for the use of two or
three towns, which will club to-
gether.
To Carry Immense Banners.
A plan of decorating the boats has
been adopted. Each steamer will
carry an immense. banner with the
words Fourteen feet through the
valley" Banners with the names OF
the different cities will also be dis
played with a decorative scheme OF
flags and bunting. Most of the del
egations will bring bands along and
make preparation for a big celebra.
