Few Vacant Houses in Heppner.

At the present time there are very
few vacant houses for renting pur-
poses in town. At this time of the
year when many people move to the
country for the summer, several
houses are usually left vacant, but
this year, according to several people
who have recently tried to rent, the
houses are full. If this condition
prevails until fall with the usual in
tluX that comes with the opening of
school, we will indeed be up against
a serious proposition. The only sol
ution to the house problem will be
the building of more homes for rent.

PLANNED MURDER AND
 SUICIDE SEVERAL DAYS

The condition of Mrs Alice Hunts man, who was shot Monday night by Wayne Davis shortly before Davis killed himself, is reported as un- changed at the Sisters hospital. She is reported to have a small chance to recover.
 The attempted murder and suicide evidently had been contemplated for several days, the consummation of the tragedy being conditioned upon the despair Of Davis of securing the favor of Mrs. Huntsman. Three or four nights ago, Sheriff Adams, re- turning to his office late in the even- ing, saw Davis standing on the west side of the plaza, with his hat pulled as far down as possible so as not to obstruct his vision, watching the front entrance of the Doris where Mrs. Huntsman lived He walked as far as Washington street and back again, never taking his eyes from the front door of the lodging house.
 Frank King said that he saw Davis at the Ford hotel bar late in the af- ternoon before the tragedy and that Eavis said, I'm going to kill a man and woman tonight. I think q good deal of Jeff Adams and Jim Murphy, but you may tell them that don't want them to be following me tonight"
 The inquest over the death of Davis was held yesterday morning before Coroner Johnstone. A formal verdict declaring Davis came to his death at his own hand, was returned.

as the men they have selected to rep- resent them in it's government
 Further, I wish to say that it has been our endeavor to select for the different offices created by this char ter, men of the highest intergrity pos sible to obtain. As to the man chosen by this commission for the manage ment of the business affairs of the city, l have no fear in stating that when he has announced his appoin- tees, the fair, rational people of the city of Phoenix will agree that in his selection he has about as nearly sue ceeded in appointing a class of men of the very highest personnel attain able as it is possible for any individ- ual to do.
 For the commissioners and myself, l desire to state that we expect to make our mistakes. We expect criti- cism, but each and every one of us hopes that when his term of office expires, and we cast off our tempo rary mantle of authority. the fair minded people of this city will say the credit side of the ledger in our behalf much exceeds that of the debit side. This is the only result that any just man can expect.

and you will be called upon to reme- dy them. Don't get discouraged easily for every day of your term you will be called upon to settle i questions of great import like these. l will sympathize with you, but you alone can settle them, that is one of the perogatives of the mayors position. l Commissioners wish you all and promise a loyal support to this first administration under the non partisan commission form of govern ment.
 When the applause had died away, i Mayor Young greeted the retiring ex- i ecutive with the words:
 1 Mayor Christy, I suppose I should i say former mayor, but l am not pro- i foundly impressed by title or position. Although 1 am in reality your mayor i still think of Mir Christy as my mayor. ! The felicitation between the old and new administrations was expressed this noon, and it would seem a waste of time to further continue this sub ject
 ! l would infer the taxpayers, and the i people who pay the bills, would like I a word or two on the policies to be pursued by the new mayor and con- misSiOners. My understanding is few pre-electiOn promises We're made. In i cidentally, l stood fer a free employ ment agency and rest rooms for wom- en and children. The free employ ment agency now exists; the rest room, we trust, will soon exist
 Five years ago I made VOW that were I ever in a position to suggest and enforce any ordinance in the city government, the first one would be one compelling the cleaning of the sidewalks not later than 5:30 a. m through the spring, summer and au- tumn months, and not later than a. m. during the winter months. I trust this will be one of the first orders issued by the new commission.
 Again, we believe those paying the bills should be brought in closer touch with the administrative affairs of the city. To bring this about, with the consent of the commission, it shall be my endeavor, during the next few months, to have many committees ap- pointed from among the business men and business women, the professional men and professional women, the la boring men and laboring women, and especially from among the mothers of the city. l shall ask the different women societies of this city to select their representatives and give me their names so that through US they may be listed on the different con- mittees to meet with the mayor and commissioners at different times 10 discuss, individually and collectively, those subjects pertinent to the best welfare of the city and of the citizens comprising it.
 I speak for the commissioners as well as for myself, when l say I know
 it is going to be the honest endeavor
 of every one of us to try to get the
 best results obtainable in every de-
 partment of this city's affairs with
 the most economy possible. There is
 no better way that the commissioners
 or myself can gain the necessary in-
 formation to act intelligently in these
 matters than by getting in closer
 touch with the citizens, who have at
 heart the welfare of the city as mucf

see that the best in every man ap- pointed or employed is, during the hours for which he is employed, fully given over to the advancement of the best interests of this city. There will be no eXactions-autocratic egotisti- cal, or unjust-made of any man. whether he be an employe of the city or a resident, business, professional or otherwise, and that the men in charge of the city have no favorites to reward nor enemies to revenge. I believe, when the time for casting the balance arrives, it will be found that while we have had our dreams, there has been nothing visionary, and our dreams of today will have come true-and if not, they will be on the proven road to complete fruition.
 A practical basis has been outlined, and practical lines will be followed i throughout. This commission is not composed of men of sentimentality, or of men who are impregnated with what I may term the thought rot of today. They are practical men and not full of "isms" These being facts which I feel I know, I bespeak for them and for myself the well wishes, the kindness and the earnest support of every man, woman, boy and girl in the city of Phoenix l wish to say to you, one and all, we consider ourselves your servants for the terms elected, and we want you to know you are free to call to see us and give us ideas and suggestions and tell us your troubles, for by this method you profit and we learn.
 The new mayor and commissioners bid the old mayor and councimer God speed! If, at the close of oul terms of office, we can step down and out, breathing the atmosphere Of peace and good will, such as we have partaken of this day, have no doubt but every member of this government will concede it not only a pleasure but an honor, to throw out the life. line to our successors and say tC them, as the retiring members have said to us this day-'If there is Ily. thing we can do for you to hell along the cause of good government in the city of Phoenix, call upon u! anywhere, at any time and the bes We know will be freely imparted t you, and the best we can do to assis YOU will not only be considered privilege, but an honor.
 When he had concluded Mayor Younl announced that the first order of busi ness would be to select a vice chairman Upon motion of Foley, seconded b
 Woods, Joseph Cope was nominate
 for the office. He was unanimousl chosen.
 And then another pause.
