PREPARE TO
PURCHASE
The PLANT.

Announcement was made last night
by Councilman Rigdon that the special
water committee Lad entered into
contract with the Salem Water COM
pany for an examination and inspec-
tion Of its plant, preparatory to TAX
ing steps to purchase it,
Both the city and the company some
time ago selected engineers to ap-
praise the value of the plant and sub
mitted reports to the council The
company, however, desired the city to
enter into a contract with 1t so that
it had some assurance that 1t would
be guided in making its purchase by
the report Of the engineers. Several
months ago the special committee held
public meetings to determine whether
the people favored purchasing or con-
demning the plant, and they declared
in favor of the former, and If ac-
quired at all it will be through this
method.

south on High to State, thence west
on State 10 Commercial, thence north

ing the largest percentage Of attend
ance as well as for the one making

Sacramento, Cal, Aug. 20,-Because
the agitation for the abolition Of the
death penalty in California failed to
enlist more than a few thousand sig
natures to the petition seeking TO make
hangings impossible henceforth, Gov
ernor Hiram Johnson announced to-
day that all Of the seven men whom he
had reprleved from time to time be-
cause of the existence Of this petition
must die. He declared that he had no
other alternative and that the law must
be enforced
Alexander szafscar and George Fig
ueroa and under sentence to be hang
ed at San Quentin September G, the
week of the state fair and Just pre-
ceedlng the celebration of Admission
day; Willie Luis, Chinese; William
Burke and Frank Bauweraerts are to
die Friday, September 10, Charles Car
son, whose sanity has been denied by
the warden and prison guards is to
give up his life September 20, and ED
Williams is under sentence to be hang
ed September 27.
These are only the men whose SEN
tences have been reprieved. There
are five Of six others awaiting execut-
ion, whose hope Of securing commut-
alton to life Imprisonment is shattered
by the governors decision.
Governor Johnson has at no time ex-
pressed any sympathy with the move
ment to abolish capital punishment
When Governor West of Oregon de-
clared, last January, that no man
should hang in that state while he
