COUNCIL MEETING
The City Dads Met Last Night
and Transacted the Usual Routine
of Business.

The first thing that woke the mem
bers up was when the report of the
arbitration committee was read in
reference to the amount allowed Mr.
Uglow for the ground that was to be
used as a septic tank location.
What shall we do with the report
came forth the sonQrous voice Of the
Mayor Silence re.gned for a few
minutes, the stiffness became painful,
at last Councilman Hayter rose and
said, as this matter was left to the
decision of three men, and as the
council agreed to abide by their de-
cision, I do not see how we can avoid
accepting their report and paying the
amount of the apprajsemeit, I admit
that it was great surprise to me
when I learned that the amount al
lowed was so large, / had no idea it
would reach such figure, but as |
said it was agreed to abide by their
decision, so / move that the price be
paid as soon as Mr.. Uglow make out
a good and sufficient deed Council
man Sibley seconded. Then the
Mayor spoke Gentlemen as mayor
of the city of Dallas, if this is passed,
it will be over my protest, / think
it is wrong to pay this price, it is far
too much. $1,000 for little more
than an acre? I have in my pocket an
option on a piece Of land that can be
bought for 5000 that is as good and
can be used. I don't think it is right
and | go on record as so saying and
you can recall me If you want to-.
QUESTION, a councilman called, the
vote was taken. Hayter, Gohrke,
McBee, Sibley, Barham, Riser voted
Yes. Fenton and Barber, No. Car
ried.
Councilman Hayter made a good
motion as follows that the city at
torney be instructed to prepare an or
dinance to compel connections to the
sewer be made from toilets, and other
places where wafer is used and allow
ed to waste-Carried.
A number of sidewalks wer ordered
to be laid- Dr. McCallon, the Coun-
ty Health Officer, appeared before
the council and asked permission to
allow him to repair his walk on his
instead Of building a, new
one as ordered. The mayor stated
that he had to build new walk when
he wanted to repair it, and as
new walk was ordered and the records
are all made up showing this, the
Doctor would have to build. The de-
cision met the approval of all pres
ent. The council agreed to pay, not
to exceed $3.50 to fix the road at and
near the Geo. Browns place.

Oregon Has 1000 Men Ready.

Salute or no salute, the Oregon
National Guard is ready to mobilize
within 48 hours. 1t is no secret
either, that officers are expecting
prompt orders to move.
GAS Huerta has refused to fire the
salute, | think that war will be de-
clared said Colonel C. H. Martin, U.
S. A. commander of the Third Ore
gon Infantry, "but even if he had
given the requested salute the crisis
could not be very long postponed. "
"We now have nearly 1000 men in
Oregon who could be moved almost
instantly on command. The infantry
will include 1900 men and 81 officers,
the battery III men and five officers,
the cavalry SO men and three officers
and the ambulance companies 72 men
and five officers. Besides there are
eight companies of Coast Artillery
that could be used in the field. These
companies are ordinarily supposed to
serve as coast defense, but they have
been trained as infantry and it would
perhaps be thought better to send
them to the front in that capacity,
rather than send green recruits.
"The peace strength Of our COM
panies is only So men, with three Of
ficers, while the war strength is 10S
men and three officers. Then there
will be a band of SO pieces and 21
scouts, as well as machine gun
company of 10s men.
Guards Will Become Regulars.
"When the crisis comes the Presi-
dent will issue orders to Governors,
following which the members of the
National Guard will report to the
Secretary of War and enter the Reg
ular army as volunteers. The meas
ure now before Congress, calling
for the employment of the National
Guard by the Government, will I'M
doubtedly pass"
Nearly every quarter of the state
would contribute its quota of guards
men to the Oregon contingent. There
are six companies. of infantry, one
battery, one troop of cavalry and one
company of coast artillery at Port
land, one company of infantry each
at Oregon City, Woodburn, Dallas
and McMinnville and two at Salem,
two companies of coast artillery at
Eugene and one each at Roseburg,
Ashland, Cottage Grove, Albany and
Medford.
All forms and blanks necessary for
converting the Oregon National Guard
