COUNCILMAN
DURBIN JOLTS
The WATER CO.
OFFERS RESOLUTION RECON-.
MENDING FORFEITURE OF
FRANCHISE UNLESS WHOLE
SOME WATER AND PLENTY OF
1T IS SUPPLIED.

Contending that the Salem Water
company had failed to live up to the
franchise granted to 1t in 1901 in
that 1t has not and does not provide
the city with either wholesome wa
ter or a sufficient supply Of II, a reso-
luton was introduced last evening
by Councilman Durbin instructing
the city recorder to notify the COM
pany to comply with the terms OF its
franchise and declaring the fran
chise forfeited in the event that the
company failed to obey.
Councilman Durbin in speaking in
behalf Of the resolution declared that
he had no disposition to injure the
compay or to injure the city of Sa-
lem by pronouncing the water made
quate and also unWholesome but that
1t was a duty, unpleasant as it was,
which deyolved upon him to per-
form. He declared that the intake
pipe was still unfinished and that
the service was no better today than
1t was years ago. He asserted that
tests recently made upon the water
to determine whether 1t was pure or
not showed It to be impure
Councilman Huckstein while not
opposing the resolution, stated that
prior to leaving the city for a visit
to the east that the water was pure
and that he had not been advised by
the city physician to the contrary.
Councilman Lowe stated that he
did not desire to raise his voice in
opposition to the resolution, but that
he did desire to say a few things in
behalf of the company AS to the
purity of the water he expressed no
opinion but when 1t came to the ade-
quacy of 1t, he declared that the
company realized that there was not
a sufficient supply and that it was do
ing everything within it's power to
increase 1t, that 1t hadmore than 100
men now at work lengthening and
strengthening the mains and that it
had formulated plans for an ade-
quate water supply for the city.

EMBEzzLER
EXPIRES. IN
MEXICAN JAIL

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug 1.-Accord-
ing to advices today, Wilson B
Evans, former paying teller of TIE
Farmers and Mechanics bank of Los
Angeles, who was accused of having
embezzled $27,5OO from the bank and
fed to Lower California, died last
Friday in the Jail at Acapulco, where
he was awaiting extradition.
Evans had been in Jail for more
than five months. 1t is said that
following his flight from Los Ange-

San Francisco, where he chartered
the schooner Kate and sailed out of
the bay. He was seen at Acapulco
by a steamship agent who recOg-
nized him and and his arrest fol-
lowed. Evans had $1,000 when ar

Every year 1t is estimated that 5000
die OF diseases that could be pre-
vented If parents we're instructed how
to feed and care for their babies. The
most striking and impressive exhibits
were the cartoons depicting the hor-
rors attending the unclean milk sup
ply OF the city.
Infant Welfare Work.
One OF the most satisfactory re-
suits OF the welfare Exhibit" is the
great increase that has been made in
organized effort to combat this an
nual slaughter of the innocents. The
various philanthroples are co-operat-
ing, as never before, to stamp out
this evil and business houses dealing
in infants foods and supplies are
lending generous and efficient aid IN
the same direction. Last summer the
Nestle Food company established a
model nursery in the crowded section
OF the upper East Side of the city,
where trained nurses instruct the
tenement mothers in the care of their
infants and younger children. In
structlon Is given here, not only in
the proper preparation of food, but in
all details Of child hygiene, and every
effort Is made to keep the methods so
simple and practical that the foreign
born mother, who Is in the majority
In this section, can easily carry out
the same plans in her own home. The
Nestle food lends itself admirably
to this plan, for 1t requires only the
addition Of cold water and two min
utes boiling for its preparation and
sufficient quantity can be made up
at once for the days feelings, as not
even lca is needed to keep It sweet
and all right to give the baby.
A Store Play Room.
One Of the well-known department
stores has a day nursery fitted up
with sand boxes, that are the delight
Of the small children, who remain
happy and safely busy here, while
mothers shop in other parts of the
establishment. It is not, perhaps,
pure philanthropy which directs the
setting apart of this valuable space
for the pleasure OF the visiting kid
dies, but at any rate neither they nor
their mothers are disposed to cavil at
the kindly service rendered.

VETOED THE
FRANCHISE ON
TRADE STREET

Declaring that It Is against the
policy of the city as well as the
country in this age to grant a fran
chise to any railroad company carry
ing with 1t an exclusive franchise
privilege for a spur or side track,
Mayor Lachmund last evening We
toed the franchise granted the South
ern Pacific on Trade street, and his
veto was sustained by the council by
a vote of 10 to 4, The franchise
asked for, called for the construction
Of spur from the Southern Pacific
tracks to the Salem Brewery Asso-
Citations brewing plant.
Veto Message.
The veto message was as follows:
1T Is against the policy of the
city as well as the country, in this
day and age to grant franchise to
any railroad company carrying with
1t an exclusive franchise privilege for
a spur or side track and | have no
hesitancy in vetoing this ordinance.
1t is unfortunate that Salem has in
the past granted valuable franchises
to railroad companies and to pro-
moters carrying with them rights
and privileges of great value and in
which the interests of Salem have
not been sufficiently taken into con-
sideratlon and during my term of of
flee | will not by act or deed sane
tion any measure having in view the
granting of any franchise without
due regard for the future growth of
our city. | am a strong and ardent
advocate of railroad development
along liberal lines but caution should
and must be used towards railroads
entering Salem in the future Com
petition Is essential to our growth
and II Is against our interests to
grant special privileges to any par
ticular railroad company which in
the future will prove detrimental to
the interests we are pledged to pre-
serve. This ordinance Is distasteful
on the ground that it does not carry
with 1t a common user clause; with
out 1t special privileges would be
granted to the Southern Pacific COM
pany and the aim Of Salem should
be to permit other rail lines to serve
the public on an equal and euuita-
BILE basis. The granting of this
franchise would give preference TO
the Southern Pacific company in the
service to be rendered to the parties
seeking the benefits under II, with
out due regard to competing lines
which will in the future undertake to
serve these same interests. Looking
at this bill in its broadcast sense and
with the best interests on Salem at
heart return same with my veto +"

TRAPPING EAGLES.
The Chinese Get Them With q Baited
Net and Deeoy Bird.

Net and q Decoy Bird.
Every year, according to an old Gus.
tom, in the second quarter Of the Sep
tember or October moon, the tnhabit-
ants of the Chinese province of Shan
tung 60 to Mongolia to hunt the eagles
which abound in that region. The
huntsmen march in troops along the
roads, carrying on their shoulders long
poles from which are suspended their
baggage and provisions and on which
are perched tame eagles to be used as
decoys
The hunters make use Of large net,
spread open on the ground and baited
with small dried fishes, in the midst
Of which is placed tame eagle. The
decoy naturally begins to devour the
bait and thus invites its wild cousins
to follow its example. When the birds
have alighted and are feeding the
hunter, from his hiding place two or
three hundred yards distant. quickly
closes the net by means Of cords and
thus captures the eagles.
Eagle hunting is very lucrative. The
feathers are used In the manufacture
of fans and are sold at high price
even In China. There are three sorts
Kicpei, black with white centers; Che
ma, white spotted with black; Tout,
sing, half white and half black. Sew
eral eagles contribute to the making
of a fan, for only q small part Of the
plumage can be utilized; hence these
fans are very costly.

changes In the Fartrio9oS OF tno Va

A remarkable example Of the effects
Of environment and changed condi
tions of life upon the forms of ami
mails is furnished by a species of par
fridge living in the Canary islands
Over 400 years ago the Spaniards in
troduced the red legged partridge from
Europe into these islands, and the bird
has continued to flourish there; but, as
recent examination proves, 1t has un'
dergone notifications clearly brought
about by the conditions under which
it lives.
Its back has turned from russet
color to gray. This looks like pro-
tective coloration, since the bird passes
its life among gray volcanic rocks.
Its beak has become one-fourth
longer and thicker than that Of its
ancestors and of its European rela.
tiyes, and its legs also have increased
in length and grown stouter.
These changes are exactly such as
were needed to suit it to the life that
1t is now compelled to lead amid the
rocks and on the mountain sides Of
the islands, where a more rigorous
physical development is required than
was needed in its former home.-Har.
