CHARTER AMENDMENT WINS
r"iis City Authorizes Council to Issue
100000 Water Bonds.

FALLS CITY, Or, Dec. 5-The
special city election held here TODAY
resulted in an overwhelming victory
ior the charter amendment which will
give the council authority to issue wa
Ter ponds to the amount of 100000
one hundred and thirty-nine votes
We're cast for the amendment and onlv
80 against it.
The city charter formerly forbade
tne selling of water bonds bearing any
greater interest than 5 per cent ner
annum. A bond issue was authorized
oy the voters last Spring, and plans
ana estimates were prepared for an
adequate water system When the
bonds were advertised for sale. no
buyers appeared, and the council
round it impossible to dispose of the
securities without paying a greater
annual interest than per cent. This
temporary abandonment of the i'm
provement.
Under the new charter amendment,
the council will now ask authority to
sell bonds to the amount of 100000
Tor the purpose of constructing a sys-
TEN of waterworks suitable to the
needs of the city. 1t is hoped that the
Improvement will go through without
further delay. Falls City has long
needed public water supply, and the
people have shown their desire for the
Improvement in several elections, only
to encounter unlooked-for obstacles
before the work could be gotten un-
der way 1t is now believed that re-
lief from undesirable conditions is in
sight.

EDITOR WOULD LEASE LAND
V. T.. Fiske Applies for Remaining is
Feet Of City Hall Lot.

V. p. Flske. publisher OF the Item
izer, made application to the city
council last night for a 1O-year lease
on the remaining Is feet OF the city's
land on Court street. For lease on
the strip between the Fuller livery
barn and the lot recently leased TO
Matthew Fenton. the Dallas publisher
offers the sum OF SEQ a year. the city
to remove the hre-bell tower at its
own expense.
For a 20-year lease. at $50 a year.
Mr.. Fiske agrees 20 construct con-
crete building on the land and TO turn
the building over 20 the city at the
expiration OF the lease. The appllca-
tion was referred 10 the committee
which recently granted lease TO Mr.
Fenton.
The character OF the building pro-
posed to be constructed by Mr.. Fiske
Is not described IN his application. but
II would presumably be a one-story
structure. The strip Of ground is bare
ly rs feet in width. and Il IL not prob
able that any attempt would be made
to make the building more than one
story high. as no room would be left
for a stairway 20 the upper floor.

POLK COUNTY GOAT NOTES
Farm Paper Tells What Anogra Goat
Breeders Are Doing.
Oregon Agriculturalist. )


U. S. Grant and VIM. Riddell have
Texas. They think there is nothing to
worry about from a mohair stand
point.
James Riddell, of Riddell & Sons,
of Monmouth, Oregon, was in Port
land, and visited us for day. "Jim"
had good many things to look after
while in town. Among these was a pos
sible market for Angora venison. We
visited several of the leading markets
and the general impression was that
Immediately after January 1, prices
would be better than at present In
other words. the outlook was promis-
ing. At any rate there will pe a good
demand at that time on until spring.
So would advise shippers to wait.
When ], B. Stump gets down to a
point where ''he takes his pen in hand"
he generally writes something en-
eouraging. J, B. is still in the Angora
business and if you doubt it, watch
him at the show.
Mr.. Billings, of near Dallas, was in
Portland recently and sold some nice
stock to the Front street merchants.
He reports that he was fairly dealt
with and realized very well on his
shipment. He sold the skins to the
Angora Rug Company. of Salem. for
good figure.
Mrs A. j.. Farley, of Dallas, recently
shipped one of her fine registered
bucks to Mr.. G. G. Belts, of "The
Edgewood Farm" at Harrisburg, Ore
gon. This buck was sired by king
Arthur Jr.," who was Grand Champion
on the fair circuit of 1908. Mr.. Belts
expects to exhibit at the Portland
show and as the buck is an extra fine
individual, much is expected of him.

and Wheeler. Counties voting wet are
Crook, Gillian, Grant, Klamath, Lake,

PURCHASES POWER SITE
A. L. Shreve Secures Valuable Proper
.ty Near StaytOn, Marion County.

A. L. Shreve, proprietor of the Stay
ton Electric Light plant, states that he
has just completed a deal for the pur-
chase of a power site three miles up
the Santiam river from Stayton. The
site is a valuable one and capable OF
generating about 5000 horse power. 1t
is Mr.. Shreve's plan to clean out the
drift, build a headgate and do consid-
erable other preliminary work this
winter and in the course of year or
two build a big. modern power house
on the site, which is located on the
north side of the river.
The stayton light and power plant
has been taxed beyond Its capacity and
frequently the power has failed when
II was most needed. This new move OF
Mr.. shreve. therefore. means much to
Stayton.-Stayton Mail.

GREAT APPLE SHOW CLOSES
Fruit VIII Be Sold in Eastern Cities at
Fancy Prices.

At IL o'clock Saturday night the
best apple show ever held in Oregon
came to a close. Waiting gangs Of men
set to work Immediately TO pack up
the exhibits. Some of the apples shown
in Portland will be sold in New York
and other eastern cities at fancy
prices. Some of them will go abroad.
A portion of the Mosier exhibit is to go
as present to the emperor of Ger
many.
The people who work in shops and
mills during the week came to see the
apple show Saturday night. The ex-
pressions of admiration and surprise
heard from the first coIners were
heard all over again.
During the week probably 100000
people have seen the show. Enough of
these have been paid admissions to
make the expense list and income list
about balance.
During the year to come President
Atwell and Secretary Power, with
members of the Oregon Horticultural
society, will be planning to make next
years apple show much better than it
was this year. They want an exhibit of
10, 000 boxes of the finest apples raised
in the world. They want to be able to
open the exhibits to the growers of
Washington, Idaho and British Column
bia. They do not believe that Oregon's
apples will suffer in contrast, but that
on the other hand, it will make Ore
gons products appear all the better.
If it is possible the show will be held
during the first week of November. 1t
will then be found possible perhaps to
transport it bodily to the Spokane ma
tional apple show, then on to some of
the cities of the middle west and east.
where the people who are thinking of
locating on the farms may be given
reason for planning to come to Oregon
and the northwest
The program of addresses and dis
cussions given at this years apple
show is said to be the best ever pre-
sented in the society's history. Ad-'
dresses have been delivered by experts.
and the discussions have been parti-
cipated in by men who are now rais-
ing apples and who want to know how
to raise apples of finer quality and
more uniform size than they have yet
found possible.
The exhibit of the Oregon Agricult-
ural college, in charge of instructors.
showing the diseases of fruit trees and
explaining how to guard against them,
has been of particular value The apple
show of this year has been productive
of suggestions which, if carried out,
will make It immensely more import
ant next year than this, both in quail
ity of exhibits and insadvertising vail
