Pleasure in Morning
Sightseeing, bathing. boating and
fishing were the order of the forenoon
for the visitors after they got past the
ho,th on the pier where a dozen young
Uonnan were engaged in fastening pic
mic buttons on passersby and separat-
ing them from nickels in return. FoSL-
card views of the new FIRST M. -.
church were retailed from the DOOM
also. while from another emporium on
the strand the women of one OF the
Sunday school classes of the local
church sold homemade candies.
At noon time basket dinners were
spread on the long tables under the
auditorium and the department or the
interior was attended to. There was a
tempting array of viands, including
numerous fried chickens, to which the
visiting ministers ala run Justlce'

COUNCIL ADJ0URNS EARLY
WITHOUT FINISHING WORK
Anxiety of Budget Committee to Re-
sumo Deliberations Breaks
Up Meeting

Ry adiourning before half the busi-
ness of the day ives finished, the city
council yesterday threw municipal mat
ters into something of a tangle Ger
tain urgent demands are held up and
hearings that were set for o'clock yes
terday afternoon could not be held.
The quick adjournment was some
thing of a mystery. Councilman Wal
lace, chairman of the budget commit
tee was evidently in a hurry to get
through with the council work so his
committee could resume its slashing of
department estimates.
Don't take up that matter unless it
is Urgent Don't waste any time on
that" he would say as one matter after
another was brought up by Minute
Clerk Carroll. This irritated Healy
and Yonkin a little, neither of whom
is on the budget committee and
Healy moved to adjourn. He was
quickly seconded by Yonkin, and the
two insisted on the motion being put.
1t was put. and because it was some
thing in the nature of horse play, which
several members of the council are
ready to indulge in at any time, it car
ried and the council adjourned until
Friday morning.

MAYOR PROCEEDS TO HAVE
FRANCHISE FORFEITED
Secretary Learns That Pacific Light
and Power Company Has Agreed
to Settle for EIec-
triclty

"Please instruct the city attorney to
begin proceedings to declare the fran
chise of the Pacific Light and Power
company forfeited for failure to COM
ply with the terms OF its franchlse anu
furnish light to the public library"
This was the text Of message writ
ten and signed by Mayor Alexander
Yesterday, and which would have been
presented to the council had not Sec
retary Frank j. Henderson learned py
diligent inquiry that the Paclnc Light
and Power company has been turnlsh-
ing the library light since July 10.
This information was secured through
H. w. O'Melveny, attorney for the Pa
cific Light and Power company ana
also a member OF the library board.
Mr. O'Melveny told Mr.. Henderson that
the lighting company had agreed 10
assume the light bills of the library.
The hill for light is rendered to the
library by Hamburger's each month
and amounts to about $120. Hereafter
when the bill is presented 1t Will De
turned over to the lighting company,
a check for the amount Will be Drawn
in favor of the library by the lighting
company, and the check lndorsed 70
the Hamburger company. The Paclhc
Light and Power company prefers TO
adopt this method rather than run ITS
own wires into the Hamburger build
ign.
But this arrangement was not known
until yesterday when Mr.. Henderson
began an investigation. Even l. b.
Dockweiler, president of the library
board, did not know of the matter:
The franchise of the Pacific Light
and Power company compels it 10 fur
nish light to the library. This clause
was included in the franchise when the
library occupied quarters in the city
hall. When it removed from the city
hall this was overlooked for two years
or more, until Mayor Alexander called
tba attention of the council to the mat
fer in a message, and the council in
structed the city attorney to make an

FIRST REJECTION OF
APPLICATION OCCURS
Notary on One Of Drawn Envelopes
for Occur d'AIene Land Forgot
to Certify His
Authority

COUER D'ALENE, Wash, Aug. 10.
Judge Witten resumed the drawing
for the Couer d'Alene reservation at 8
o'clock this morning. The crowd,
small at first, increased soon to sew
eral hundred, but at no time was the
enthusiasm equal to that manifested
on the first day.
The first rejection of an application
occurred today when the name of A. d.
Boughman Of Charlotte, Mich, through
Agent Edwin L. Coy of the same place,
was read. 1t was rejected on the
ground that Ellerton r. Bayles, the
notary public of that town, did not
specify he was the notary authorized
to make out papers for land drawing.
Out of the 5000 drawn this is found
to be the only one defectively executed.
The man employed to call out the
names as the envelopes were opened
met many that were almost unpro-
nounceable, but he was completely
staggered today when he ran across
Miecyiplawadolf Jaklewicz of Aber-
deem, Wash, who drew No 2699.
There will be no drawing tomorrow,
but Thursday morning the fourteen
cans containing the $1,000 applications
for Flathead lands will be opened.
There will be 5000 drawn for the $500
claims. No timber lands are involved.
Next Monday the drawing for the
Spokane reservation will begin.

DRoMG0LD NOT A SUCCESS
AS EXPERT VETERINARIAN
Enters Into Controversy over Chambers
Question with Well Known Author
tiles on Horse Diseases

Councilman Dromgold set himself up
&c a horse doctor yesterday against
come of the best veterinary surgeons
in the state. and in the eyes OF nus
colleagues he suffered somewhat py
comparison -. ro
council asking that the public watering
troughs be abolished. Dr. C4aIle7 Id
Keene. state veterinarian, Or. Row
land county veterinarian, and DR.. w.
u Morrison, recognized as one OF the
leaders of his profession in southern
california. appeared to argue IN favor
of the petition. They declared the
Dublic watering troughs We're a serious
menace to the health of horses, and
that they We're prolific IN the spread Oh
glanders. which is fatal to morse.
Dromgold insisted that there was no
danger from glanders and asked the
doctors if any of them knew of case
of glanders in Los Angeles. They re
Dlied they did not, and for good
reason. As soon as a case of glanders
is reported the horse is Immediately
ordered destroyed They said 1t was
inpossible for them to know OF every
such case but that at any time Drohl-
colds question would have TO be an
swered in The negative, for if they
could answer it i'm the affirmative and
ders, they would not be doing their
duty. because, knowing Of such a case,
they would have the horse killed.
Dromgold triumphanuy pointed to
this answer as an argument that there
was no danger Of glanders spreading
from watering troughs
DR. Keene said it was not their in
tention to deprive the horses of water
on the streets, but that hydrants could
be provided where the troughs are
located and the watering done with a
bucket. Dr. Rowland offered sug-
gestion that met the approval Of every
member of the council. That is, to
have sanitary troughs made that
could be emptied at the bottoms.
The council refused to order the
troughs abolished, but practically de-
clared they would order the city attor-
ney TO prepare an ordinance for the
sanitary troughs.

1t is unusual on picnic occasions for
speakers to hold their hearers in the
auditorium for speeches of much
length, but Bishop Hughes audience
of more than $500 people remained in
remarkable quiet until the close of his
address.
Reception in Church
After the program had been con-
d with the singing of Onward,
Christian Soldiers" and the playing of
THE Star Spangled Banner by the
band, the Methodists directed their
steps toward the new church building
at Fifth street and Locust, where FOR
two hours a reception was rendered the
ont -of-toWn visitors. The pastor, the
Rev. viii A. Belts, and wife and a
large number of the members of the
church were on hand to welcome their
guests.
Among those in charge of the in
formation booth on the pier We're Mr..

Those in the candy booth were Mrs.

Messrs. Parsons, Durand and Sweet
were members of the committee on
giving out the prize flags this after
noon.
Great quantities of coffee had been
prepared by the townspeople for the
free use of the Methodists. All wear
ing picnic buttons secured free coffee
and reduced rates at various amuse-

ARLINGTON AVENUE
PARK GAME IS LOST
FINAL BLOW DEALT BY CITY
COUNCIL YESTERDAY
Later On Solons Order Condemnation
of Strips Of Land to Make Old
Agricultural Park Breathing
Spot for People

The final blow was dealt the pro-
position to condemn land for a park
in the southwestern part of the city
yesterday when the council ordered the
city engineer and the city attorney to
stop all proceedings in the park mat
ter.
The land which it had been expected
to condemn for park purposes is bound
ed by New Orleans, Cimarron and
Twenty streets and Arlington
avenue, and the assessment district
that was expected to pay for the land
and the making of it into park was
included in the territory bounded by
Washington street, Western avenue,
jefferson street and the western city
limits.
A protest against the park signed by
about 80 per cent of the property own
ers in the assessment district was the
cause of the council abandoning pro-
ceedings The protestants represented
that the property sought for park
was on a hill side and not suitable for
park purposes, hat it was at the nor
therly edge of the assessment district
and that the cost would be prohibittve.
AS soon as this was disposed of, the
council Immediately instructed the city
engineer and the city attorney TO Degln
proceedings to condemn land to be
added to Agricultural park. A number
of lots, some of which are improved,
are included in the land which is de-
sired to square out the big park. This
land includes strip on Figueroa street
and two blocks in the northwestern
corner of the park. A large majority
of the property owners in the district
are in favor of this improvement and
it is not expected a serious protest will
be filed.
The assessment district, which will
pay for this additional land, is bounded
by Western, Washington, Main, Moneta
and C1anSon

Find some way to build over the

Grand and Santa Barbara avenues. 80
was the order given the city attorney
by the council yesterday The council
recently asked the board of public
works to do the same thing, but the
inspector of public works reported that
the railway was on private right-of-
way and his department could do moth
ing.
AS the matter now stands Grand
avenue is practically cut in two at

to the south side of the street it Is
necessary to drive to Figueroa and
come back. Councilman Wallace be-
leves this trouble can be remedied
and it was at his suggestion that the
