To Vote On Bonds
For Water Works
Special City Election Will Be Held
Next Saturday From I to
7 p. M.

The special election next Satur-
day is not to authorize the sale o.
100000 of bonds but for a sum moi
to exceed 100000. There's quite {
difference. The council is on record
as desiring to put in a first-class
gravity water system, and the mem
bers can be trusted to spend nj
more for that purpose than is abso
lutely necessary. That may ant
probably will mean less than $25,
900.
The election will be held in Tho
office of City Recorder Taggar
from 1 until o'clock in the after
noon. There is strong interest il
the election and in the result. Thu
opponents of city system are untir
ing in working against it by ever,
means in their power. Friends of
city system are also awake and
full vote will probably be polled. l
Is stated that the size of the major
ity will have an effect in the sal
of the bonds.

famed beauty of this valley. o
course they will not see nine tenth.

trance, but the glories of the can
yon ride will compensate them 70
the time and expense.
Wallowa will do the honors in he
well known, hospitable style, an,

address Of welcome and Col f. S
