over the past twelve months. 1t was
enough for him that during the period
he had dropped from his pinnacle of
honest labor to be the pitiful slave OF
a habit. A red lamp glowed down at
the corner by Uhlman's bakery-at the
entrance to the alley that ran around
to the back door. AS Jim went to-

were closing up, doors swung open
and discharged quarrelsome groups Of
men, who scattered up and down the
pavement, some of them making the
midnight hideous with their raucous
voices.
Jim Collins passed them and went on

Theodore NJ. Barr, OF this city was
the lowest bidder for the contract
for installing a heating plant for the
Eastern Oregon Hospital for the In
sane, and Olson & Johnson, of Mis-
soula, Montana, the lowest bidders
for the contract for constructing the
group Of buildings to be built on the
grounds, and while neither have been
officially notified that the contracts
have been awarded them, It Is safe
to predict that they will be.
The bid for the installation of the
heating plant was S41.599, and that
for the construction of the group of
buildings, S294,675. The total is
about $4,000 less than the estimate
made by the engineer There was
appropriated approximately 100000
for the construction of the buildings
and the purchase of site for them
and when the contracts are all taken
into consideration and also many i'm
provements to be made for which
contracts have not yet been awarded
the appropriation will be exhausted.

MISS NOBODY FROM

germ of laughter throughout its four
spectacular scenes. The story CEN
ters around fascinating chorus
girl, who is aided in her diamond
smuggling enterprise by host of
sultors on board the liner Lusitania
Novelty is the keynote of the story
from the first to the last, and one of
the earlier surprises is the disem-

finale of the opening scene-the en-
tire company Is precipitated upon
audience by means of a gangplank
from the deck OF the liner to the
center aisle Another innovation is
the great dress rehearsal scene,
which gives the audience a glimpse

lem revolved about the question
whether II was wlsest to pay the
mayor good salary and require him
20 devote all of his time to his la
bors and the commissioners a noml-
nal salary and require them to de-
vote only their time to Legislative
questions or whether to pay all of
them good salaries and divide the
work in the city among them and re-
quire all OF them TO devote all OF
their time to the work prescribed.
The latter view finally won.
Those favoring the first view sug-
gested salary OF $4,000 a year for
the mayor and salary OF $500 a
year for each OF the commissioners.
In legislative matters the commis-
sloners were to be given equal pow
or with the mayor, but the affairs Of
the city In general came under his
direct control. Under this plan the
mayor would be required TO devote
every bit OF his time TO the work
prescribed for him, and the two COM
missioners would only be concerned
with Legislative matters and ques-
tons pertaining to the city in a gem
eral way.
The Other Side.
Those fayoring the paying OF a
good salary TO the commissioners
and the mayor contended that by dl-
viding the work between the three
that sufficient saving could effected
20 balance up the salaries paid At
the present II Is impossible for the
heads OF the different departments
In the council TO discharge all the
work. II is necessary to employ ln-
spector, superintendent and so on
and that this II was oontended. would
be done away with under the plan
proposed. The work Of the city ls
divided about equally between the
mayor and the two commissioners
and its discharge will require all OF
their time
RemOnstrance Question Decided.
The remonstrance question came
up for consideration again and was
nnally decided. According 70 the or
iginal draft 10 days was allowed a
property owner in which 70 remon-
stFate against a street improvement.
and the remonstrance must contain
names Of property owners owning
theee-fourths OF the area involved.
Tho 10 days was extended 20 30 and
the three-fourths was changed TO
two-thlrds.
Under the present plan the city
assessments are levied and collected
from property owners before con-
tractor places a pick In the ground
for street improvement work but Re-
cordlng 90 a plank inserted In the
charter last night this condition OF
Riairs win no longer exist The
plank provides that no lien shall at
tach against the property until the
contract has been let and work ae-
tually begun by the contractor; and
further provides that the property
owners must be notified OF the time
Of the making OF the assessment for
the Improvement work.
