sioner. A letter from Brewer & &c.
set forth that the lands are absolute
ly worthless without irrigation and
that it was doubtful if the home
steaders could pay for water, Acting
on the information of Bertram G.
Rivenburgh, land commissioner, that
the other 700 acres, not desired for re-
lease by the Brewer Company, We're
suitable for demonstrating purposes
and that the petitioners could prob
ably be persuaded to accept them in
stead Of the lower 500, the board gave
its approval to the lease.
The action of the board does not
constitute contract, or even instruc-
lions to Riyenburgh, it was explained
at the meeting. It merely makes it
possible for Riyenburgh to execute the
lease if the petitioners can be per-
suaded to change their minds and ac
cept the upper lands.

MAY CUT POWER
OF PURCHASING .
Agent WESCOTT

Hereafter the city purchasing agent
will do no purchasing, If amendments
to the ordinance creating the office
now being drafted by A. NJ. Cristy,
first deputy city attorney, pass the
board of supervisors. As result OF
a conference of city department heads
held in his office this morning he, is
revising the ordinance as 1t now
stands with view to eliminating the
difficulties that have created more or
less friction between the purchasing
agent, H. E. Wescott, and other de-
partment heads.
1t is proposed to eliminate the
requisition now necessary before a
city department can obtain materials,
supplies or services legally and con-
fine the work of the purchasing agent

OF city purchases Under the pro-
posed amendments department heads
will have list Of low bids furnished
to them and will do their own buy
ing.
various departments direct, without
requisition from Wescott. There has
been much inter-department trouble
over this and in the last few weeks
1t has resulted in two firms being
given one contract, Wescott giving one
and the head of department another.
The attention of a number Of the SUI
pervisors was drawn to the trouble
and this mornings conference re-
suited
The law is full of such technical
difficulties and many of its provisions
have never been complied with. 1t
is proposed to change it and make it
workable. The changes have the ap-
prevail of Wescott and of Supervisor
Robert Horner, the most ardent advo-
cate Of the present ordinance. They
viii probably be presented to the
board at tomorrow nights board
meeting for approval.
Present at the conference this
morning were: A. M. Cristy, first dep
uty city attorney; w. T. Garden, Sec
ond deputy city attorney H. E. Wes-
colt, purchasing agent; Harry Muir
ray, manager of the water and sewer
department; r. w. Aylett, garbage in
spector; Henry Freitas, building in
spector; Supervisor Robert Horner;
James Bicknell, auditor; Charles H.
Rose, sheriff; Julius Aseh, deputy
sheriff; Charles Thurston, fire chief;

period of general amusement and
sociability stimulated by music from
orchestra, was begun and
continued throughout the evening.
1t seems that Mr.. Lyons has recently
a gymnasium and athletic
club at Cotil}ion Hall and made a sort
of opening exhibition for the entertain
ment of the guard. The first number
of which was a catch-as-catch-can
performance on the mat between Thos.
Reno and Geo. Harris Both the boys
were light weights and would hardly
be called experts; but they were quite
evenly matched, both were game and
went for three falls with a zeal and
zest that made real entertainment and
brought hearty encouragement and ap-
plause. The first fall was won by
Harris, but Reno developed staying
qualities and took the other two.
Mr.. c. L. Longley then talked to the
boys for some twenty minutes and
was complimented by excellent atten-
ton although the position of his
auditors, standing or sitting on the
floor, was not too comfortable. The
talk consisted chiefly OF "reminiscences
of fifty years ago, going to show how
far from being a real and effective
soldier is the patriotic young volunteer
who leaves the school room. the pillow
or the counter to "spring" to arms at
the call of his country incidentally
it was made enthusiastically obvious
that however much they might desire
peace and deprecate war, the young
guardsmen did not favor peace pur-
chased at the price of National dis
honor.
This was followed by bout with
the gloves between Dorman Rice, OF
Company d, and Jack Kirkman, who
is now employed on one OF the new
buildings here, after six years in the
U. s. Navy. In announcing this, as in
the case of the wrestling match, Mr.
Lyons stated that it was merely q
match for points and that no rough

they were all on hand during the Jour
very lively and quite even rounds OF
the encounter. Another mat match
between Alexander and Putnam, both
local boys, claimed attention and re-
ceived much applause and although
the latter secured two falls in success
sion and won the match, he found Wig
orous opposition at every turn.
The little bugler who blew the mess

and the coffee, sandwiches, pickles,

was abundantly served, ruled the
cheerful hour. The special train upon

.EREC|COURT IS
TAKEN BY FRENCH

Paris. Sept. 26.--French troops
captured the village of Fregicourt, a
little more than mile east, north
east Of Combles last night, closing
still further the Anglo-French moose
about the German garrison Of
Combles.
The war Office also announced to-
day that French advance guards pene-
trated the Combles cemetery, while
Others reached the southern edge of
Combles. Southwest of Combles a
German trench was captured.
The capture of Fregicourt was
accomplished with almost no luii
in the great battle that began yester-
day when British and French ad-
vanced simultaneously on a 12-mile
front. French detachments had
reached the outskirts of Fregicourt,
while other forces were occupying
Rancourt and driving the enemy
from positions further south. A
storming attack last night swept the
Germans out Of Fregicourt. In the
fighting southwest of Combles Ger
man company was captured.
Southeast OF Combles the French
spent last night consolidating posi-
tions won in yesterdays attack, Ger
man attacks between the Bethune
road and the Somme were repulsed
and 500 prisoners taken.
The Teutons made violent attack
on the northeastern front Of verdun
at 8 o'clock last night, on the sector
between Thiaumont and Fleury. The
assault was stopped by French cur
tain fire, the Germans losing heavily.
In AZ air duels on the somme
front yesterday nine German flyers
were brought down.
