CITY COUNCIL
GIVES A SHOW
(Continued from Page 1)
should be paid for the work done but
Bor gen hotly told him he would'nt i
get a cent and later said something
that appeared to be the very opposite.
As a matter of fact the whole thing
was mixed up. The councilmen actu-1
ully did not know what the contract j
contained and the clerk was sen# to
his office to produce it and read it
over. The reading seenid to show
that the city attorney is right in his
interpretation of it and that the coun
cil has probably got itself in a nice
jackpot, although, let it be said, there
is some reason to hope that Mr. Man
tell will yet proceed with the work j
successfully.
Ally. Knew of Assignment.
Chamberlin again asked for the
reading of the assignment of the con- j
tract by Mantell to Bade but the
council thought it should be kept ;
private and then the city attorney ad- j
mitted that he had known of the as
signment. He said he advised Bade ,
to bring it before the council if neces
sary. This seemed to be an admis- j
sion that city officials actual!v did J
speak as officials about this assign- ;
ment. If a comment is permissible it j
may be said that the council or some
members of it were not supposed to
know what was about to be sprung on j
them.
Half the story is not told here am!
half was never heard as there was
neither plan nor plot to the comedy
and all were speaking together most
of the time. Not only that but half
a dozen subjects were taken up at a j
time and sometimes a dozen amend
ments and resolutions were launched
but died in infancy.
In speaking here of the assignment
of the contract it is only fair to say
that Mantell says the assignment is
r.ot actually consummated and that
the document was only a preparation
for assignment.
It may be also said it is stated that
Mr. Cappernoll is acting as attorney
for the city and Mr. Mantell both, and
that he drew up this assignment doc- j
ument, or, rather, acted in some ca
pacity with respect to it.

WILSON TO WIN SAYS TILLMAN.
JUNEAU, July 28.—United States
Senator Benjamin K. Tillman of
South Carolina, whose dynamic
speeches in the Upper House of the
National Congress two decades ago
earned for him the nickname of
"Pitchfork Tillman” arrived in Ju
neau at 11 o’clock last night. He is a
tourist on the Canadian Pacific steam
ship Princess Sophia, and is making
the trip to Skagway before returning
to Portland, via Vancouver, B. C. He
is accompanied by Miss Sallie May
Tillman, of Trenton, S C., and Mrs. H.
\V. Hughes of Portland, Ore., his
daughters.
Senator Tillman is chairman of the
naval affairs committee of the United
States Senate, and while in Seattle
the next week he will visit the Brem
erton Navy Yard. “I am in favor of
an adequate navy,” he said last even
ing. "An adequate navy need not
be the largest navy in the world. It
is efficiency that helps to make ade
quacy. We should have a navy that
is strong enough to cope with the
navy of any nation, and if my hopes
are realized, our sea fighters will be
increased.

When once the streets are graded,
And this town takes on the air
Of a camp that has grown permanent,
Of a city that is “there;”
When the trail is clear to Kenai Lake
Then we’ll charter Ashland’s car,
And you’ll have a picnic as the guests
Of the Famous Palace Bar.

Just “talk, don’t walk” we do the rest
And it is not too far,
In 40 winks we land the goods
From the Famous Palace Bar.
