ED. WILEY'S
APPOINTMENT

Ed Wiley, former head of the
water construction department. re-
lieved soon after Mayor Pratt
went into office. has been placed
at work on the Monroe street
bridge. 1t Is rumored that Wiley
was given place with the city
again to placate Councilman Cart
wright Of the First ward. but II
this was the purpose of taking
Wiley back 1t failed for the reason
that Cartwright voted against the
administration on every point last
night.
Likewise. 1t Is limited that the
reason Joe Charlton was received
back into the employ of the city
vas to win a warm spot in the
heart of Councilman Nelson for the
administration. Nelson was also
unappreciative last night, II this Is
true, for he was with the "insur-
gents" on every vote.

SEA LION TRIES TO
ELOPE WITH TEAM

SEAL ROCKS, Ore. Aug. U.s.
The sea serpent today has been
retired in favor of an enormous sea
lion. which, according to j. Hol-
gate, attempted to drag him, his
horse and buggy into the waters of
Alsea bay.
THE animal must have weighed
more than ton," said Holgate. IL
saw him sleeping on the beach and
l tied rope around his neck and
started to haul him away. The old
fellow, refused to bulge. Then he
became frightened, turned and
made for the water. The rope
around his neck held all right and
my horse and buggy followed the
sea lion. If l had not jumped and
cut the rope, guess it would have
been curtains for u.s."

Councilmen Lambert and Dalke
heartily endorsed Arvid Reuter-.
dahls plans for the new standpipes,
In spite of the fact that w. F. Zim-
norman tried to explain to the
council last night that 1t was not
necessary for the city to have
standpipes in Kenwood addition, al.
leging that they would be below
the level of the reservoir. M. Zim-
norman told the city council that
he had endeavored to assist the
water commissioner in every way
for competent and intelligent man
agement, but when he was asked
by Councilman Peter Nelson to
state just where his views differed
from Reuterdabls, 1t was found
that there was not single plan
adopted by Mr.. Reuterdahl to
watch he was not opposed. In con-
clusion Mr.. Zimmerman states that
he did not stand for standpipes I'M
der a reservoir zone.
When Mr.. Reuterdahl was asked
to enlighten members of the city
council on some Of the questions
which Mr.. Zimmerman had tried to
explain he stated briefly, in his out
spoken manner, that 1t would be
impossible for him to discuss the
question of the matter of stand
pipes below reservoir zone be-
cause there were none.
A delegation Of citizens who we're
present from Kenwood addition
heartily endorsed Reuterdahl in the
establishing of the standpipes and
bitterly condemned the water COM

in carrying out his plans.
