 At a regular meeting of the common council held Tuesday even1ng the business of selling the bonds and letting the con- tract for the new sewer system was finally disposed of. Alder men Bauerbach, Henderson, Robertson, LaPrade and Ward were present, Mayor Schaal pre- siding.
 The early part of the meeting was taken up with auditing bills and canvassing the election returns. Louis Korn appeared before the council and entered complaint against Alderman La Prade whom he charged with violating a city ordinance in dumping old bricks and ether rubbish on a street crossing. MT. Korn also filed objection to the pile of manure that Alderman LaPrade had allowed to accumu- late on his property to the offense of the neighborhood. The for mer complaint was referred to the committee on streets and al leys and the latter to the com missioner of health.
 After the votes cast in the re- cent election had been formerly canvassed and attested, the dis position of the bonds was taken up and on motion of Alderman Henderson, the Ulen, Sutherlin Go. of Chicago, was awarded the issue at par. The bonds will be of the negotiable coupon is- sue and bear interest at six per cent per annum. The maturity of the bonds will be decided at a meeting of the council to be held within a few days.

POTTER CALLED
 TO WASHINGTON
Has Long Commanded Conf dence of Secretary of
 Agriculture.

Albert F. Potter, chief of graz ing, who has been called to Washington to temporarily sue ceed Clifford Pinchot, deposed, is an Arizona man. He was born i'll Sacramento, Cal, but in 1885 he went to Holbrook, Arizona, and became cattle grower. His partner was Joe Woods, now sheriff of Navajo county. After growing cattle for about ten years Potter went into the sheep business. Seven years ago he made trip to Washington. While there he met Secretary Wilson, who liked him so well that he induced him to go into the forestry service. As chief of grazing he has made a brilliant record. He Is well known in Phoenix for he was there a year ago last August and made a trip through the Tonto Basin and Verde vally to observe the effect of sheep grazing ill that section. His adjustment of the matter was entirely satisfactory 
 to the farmers of that valley, who feared that their watershed was being destroyed.
 Last summer Mir. Potter and Secretary Wilson made a long trip of inspection together thru the national forests of the north west and became fast friends. The confidence whicl: the secre- ltarx reposed. in Mr. Retter was greatly strengthened and wlseii the time came to select another forester Potter was the man chosen.
