David Taylor as spokesman, with
other memters of the park committee
appeared before the city council Mon
day evening and submitted a PROPOSE
tion whereby the city should take over
the park and relieve the nine men
who signed a joint note to procure
means to purchase the property in
trust for the city, from the Athena
Land and Trust company.
Mr.. Taylor for the committee. nro-
posed that the city purchase the park
and issue warrants for the same.
Councilman Watts then stook the
floor and explained that he did not
want his position in the matter mis-
understood. He favored the city
owning the park. but at this time did
not see clear way for the city to do
SO, unless by the method of popular
subscription. His statement regard
ing the city's present financial con-
dition was something fierce. He said
that he looked at the matter from a
business standpoint and intimated
that il his private affairs were in
like condition he would go into bank
ruptcy. He said the city warrants
were away beyond the charter limit.
| and piling up at such rate that In Q
little while no one would want them.
To this argument Mr.. Taylor replied
/ that the city warrants were good
enough for payment Of other ubliga
tions contracted by the city and there
fore they were valid for purchase o.
the Park property, and to show thai
he thought 80, be read the names O.
Jerry Stone, Chas. Norris, David Tay
llor, N. Al. Miller and J. E. Froome
members Of the committee, who stoo'
ready to advance the purchase pric'
and take city warrants to be redeem
ed by the city in the regular rotation
Of warrant redemption.
| Then the question Of the legality o
issuing warrants above the amour
specified by charter was advanced
by Councilman Plamondon, whose OF
| iections to the purchasing the park
With warrants was based on thiI
ground.
Councilman Wilson exploded this
line of argument with The statement
that city warrants were legal ant
that they were good as long as people
would take them. Mr.. Wilson said
be considered the park property In the
light of valuable asset to the city
at the price it was possible to seoure
it. He was strongly in favor of the
city relieving the committee in the
manner proposed.

Thomas ]. Kirk.

The last will and testament of the
late Thomas j. Kirk was admitted to
probate before the County court at
Pendleton. Saturday, with Edward Il.
Koontz and Marion Jack, sons-in-law
of the deceased, named as executors.
BY the terms of the will, the estate,

married. In that event, the property
10 to te kept together until her death.
By the terms of the will the widow
is to receive $500 annually so long as
she remains his widow and is TO have
the home place in the town OF Athena,
with all that goes with it so long as
she lives. At her death this properly
is to revert to the estate but II at any
time the house should be destroyed by
fire it is to be rebuilt for her out of
the fund of the estate and If illness
or anything similar should cause her
expenses to be more than 500 per
year, the difference is to be made up
by the executor from the funds Of the
estate.
Thomas Edward Ehrhart is to re-
ceive $500 when he becomes 21 years
Of age and Thomas Jefferson Kirk is
to receive 81 900 when he becomes OF

| ing named heirs are to receive $1,000

ance which be carried is 10 be divid'
ed equally among bis heirs as soon al

COUNCIL TURNS down BUYING CITY PARK
Proposition of Park Committee for City Take Over Val
uable Property Is Temporarily Blocked,

Councilman LeGrow said he believ-
ed the city should own the park, that
the purchase price of the property was
a reasonable one. and he favored issu-
ing warrants for its purchase and
thus relieve the committee.
So far it was sstwo and to use
baseball parlanoe, and the decision
as to whether the council would take
the park over for tho city was put up
to councilman johnson. councilman
Tompkins being absent. And ooun-
Gilman johnson didn't have much to
say. He asked few questions. His
last one was his leading one. He
asked if it wouldn't be a good idea to
submit the proposition to the people.
This gave councilman Plamondon
an idea and he made motion. 1t
was rather complicated and Mayor
McEwen got tangled up in announc-
ing it and requested that the council
man write it down. He took an
Athena Commercial Association letter
head, wrote for a minute or two.
handed 1t to the Mayor and this is
what he read:
s'The Mayor shall appoint COM
mittee to circulate petition to see
if the recorder shall place on the
ballot at the next city election. the
question: Shall the charter be
changed to levy an additional tax for
park purposes. Cali of which didn't
amount to tinker's dam, but this
little rider did the business:)
"The subject is indefinitely post
4 poned at this meeting"
| Before the vote was taken, Recorder
i Richards asked for recognition and
with forcible argument stated that
that portion of the motion referring
the matter to ba voted on by balloi
wasn't worth the paper 1t was written
on, and asked OF the counoilmen II
they were not put in Office to transact
the city's business. Then councilman
Wilson called for rising vote and the
Mayor put the question.
The result was that Counoilmen
Watts, Plamondon and Johnson voted
for the motion, while Councilmen
Wilson and Le Grow voted against
it.
oh, yesl Strung along In the rapid
fire discussion, somewhere. +. B. Boyd
and VIM. Winship made few re-
marks, and Henry Barrett said II was

ing the park at much of bargain, OF
not, sizing up his opinion at the rate
adjacent land was being sold.

1 new CANDIDATES
Watts and Foss Out For Reelection
Belts and Gross Enter For Office
Of C0uncilmen.

Four new names have been placed
ON the list of candidates for election
to city offices since the citizens nomi
pated ticket at the City Hall. on
Thursday evening, January 81.
They are M. L. Watts and A. "A.
Foss candidates for reelection to- the
offices Of water commissioner and city
treasurer, respectively. At the mass
meeting, David Taylor defeated Mr..
" ats for the nomination by vote OF
SO to 5 and Byron Hawks was nomi-
mated over Mr.. Foss by vote Of rs to
10. The petitions Of Mr.. Watts and
Mr.. Foss have been filed with the
recorder.
Two other petitions for nomination
have been fled. They place in noni
nation for the Office OF Councilmen
Mr.. Geo. Gross and Mr.. Ohas. Belts.
Their candidacy results because Of
the refusal of DR.. J. d. Plamondon
and M. L. Watts, present ineumbents,
to qualify for office.
AZ 1t now stands. the chief interest
in the election nenters around the
candidates in the race for Water CON-
missioner and city treasurer. That
the contest for these two Offices will
be warm one is evident from the
fact that this early in the campaign
the reins Of the fight are being closely
drawn.
In David Taylor, the municipal
campaign warhorse, his friends believe
they have winner. They assert
with confidence that he has the edge
on Watts and give as their reason for
believing SO that the latter seems to
have taken little interest in the affairs

A PIONEER or THE YEAR 1851.
John Fletcher Has Prospered in the
Big Bend District.

John Fletcher. former Umatilla
county pioneer who now lives In the
Big Bend district near Waterville,
was in town this week, accompanied
by Mrs. Fletcher, visiting old-time
Weston friends, says the Leader.
Mr.. Fletcher crossed the plains with
his parents in 1861. and is now 20.
years old. He is an Indian war veter-
an. having served In 1875 with Cap
tatin Kelly's Washington Territory
Volunteers. when boy Of 10. Hon.
q. w. Proebstel OF Weston was among
bis old comrades. and he was much
disappointed at finding that Mr..
Proebstel is absent In California.
Mr.. Fletcher crossed the town site
OF Pendleton three times before the
county seat had been marked by
single building. He was present at
the house warming of Its first hotel
built by Mrs. Aura M. Raley In the
early sixties. So few were members
of the gentler sex at that time that
only two ladies could be found to
grace The dance with their presence,
the other guests being cowboys and
packers.
Locating at Weston in early years.
Mr.. Fletcher was associated with s..
A.. John in the meat market business.
He left here 22 years ago for the Big
Bend and after the usual hardships
of pioneering in new country. has
bnilt up competence. He and bis
sons now own and farm l400 acres
OF Big Bend soil. which with the
advent of the railroad has advanced
/ Ia value to $50 an acre. Mr.. Fletcher
stuck so closely ito bis knitting" that
in the entire 20 years he never left
| bis home district until last spring
when he went to Seattle to attend ths
fair and sec two of his sons who are
| in business there.
The old pioneer carries bis year,
lightly. and was easily recognized by
the Weston friends who remain. III
has done his share toward maintain
ing the Roosevelt doctrine. Mr.. ant
Mrs. Fletcher are blessed 10 theil
declining years by six sons and fv'
daughters, all of whom they regart
with pride as tho best of children.
