This is due above all other reasons to the fact that in the army battling for health are enlisted intelligent men and women, well trained and determined to push the warfare. It is scientific as well as sentimental, and the union Of thinkers and workers who are backing the movement means that only good can be accomplished. These people have not undertaken to work miracles. nor

The enactment of the ordinance
authorizing the city recorder to ad-
vertise for bids for the floating of
the city water bonds in the amount
of 100000 and the awarding of
the contract for the construction OF
the South Salem sewer, to the con-
tracing firm of Beebe & Stevenson,
for approximately $1S5,000 were
among the most important things
accomplished by the city council at
last nights meeting, and, in fact, for
the entire year of 1910 to date.
Numerous matters of routine char
acter were attended to, such as pro-
viding for the construction of cement
sidewalks and other public improve
ments in various parts of the city,
and, for the first time in months, the
council failed to make provisions for
a special session next Monday night
when adjournment was taken to the
next regular meeting, two weeks
hence.
The South Salem sewer project is
one of the largest undertakings in
the line of public improvement and
betterment of the sanitary conditions
of the city that has been attempted
by the city for many years, and the
contractors will furnish the neces-
sary bond and make arrangements to
begin work upon the job as soon
as possible, and it will be rushed
through to completion as fast as men
and machinery can do 1t. Owing to

structed to do so by the council last
evening.
Among the other matters of inn
portance which came up for consid-
Grafton at last evenings session Of
the council was a petition presented
by t. B. Jones and many others for
the placing of an initiative ordinance
upon the ballot for the city election
to be held in December of this year
making 1t felony for any person 70
sign an initiative petition more than
once and for signing IL Illegally, and
this petition was referred to the COM
mittee on ordinances. There is a
question as TO whether or not the pc

signatures of registered voters to
entitle 1t to consideration. and thia
is one of the matters which the COM
mittee was instructed to investigate
before the council takes final action
upon it.
A resolution was also introduced
and referred TO the mountain water

of improvements and betterments
that have been made by the Salem

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 1S.-Before
a crowd of $4,000 roofing, yelling,

Philadelphia Athletics this afternoon
smothered Chances Cubs by a score
of 8 to 3.
The American league leaders led
throughout the game, and surpassed
the Chicago aggregation In fielding,
hitting and in the pitchers box.
Three-fingered Brown, long the idol
of the Chicago populace, was hit
freely after the first inning until the
seventh, when they gathered five hits
and six runs.
The features Of the game were the
heavy hitting of the Athletics, their
'ufield defense and the superiority OF
tieir team work, in which the Cubs
we're picked to excel.
Coombs was not at his best for the
Philadelphians. He walked several
men, and made at least one error that
resulted in tally.
The victory gives the Philadelphia
team a two-game lead for the worlds
championship. the Cubs having failed
so far to win game.
