In 1865 he was appointed fore- man of the track laying of the Union Pa- eific and was subsequently made conductor and foreman of the train. Mr. Baxter was for seven years roadmaster of the Laramie division of the Union Pacific and from 1882 fo 1884 was section foreman of the Truckee division of the Bouthern Pacific. From 1834 to 158 he was roadmaster and general foreman of bridges and bulldings and water supply of the Southern Pacifl and In August, 189, he was made superin- tendent of the Wyoming division of the Union Pacific.

HASCALL TALKS Former Councilman Tells Muniel League of Vital Polnts in City Government. . BALTIMORE, Oct. 9.—The convention of the league of American Municipalities re- sumed its sessions today. Addresse were delivered by Mayor Fleischman of Cin einnati and Mayor Sullivan of Hartford, Conn. Isase 8 Hascall, a former city courecil- man of redd a peper om . “Vitul Potuts in Government.” It was conceded that the motives of the municipal leglslative body in the passage of the proposed ordinance, cannot be | Judiclally Inquired into. But the purpose | to be accomplished by the ordinance may be considered, it was held, Indeed, must be, in determining the validity of the ordi- nance. The question to be determined was one of power in the municipality, tn the determination of which the legal effect ot the action of the municipality becomes the controlling matter for consideration. Continuing his argument Mr. Horton de- clared that the power of the city council to vacate the streets is plenary. It is in- sisted by the defense that since the statute | grants power to municipalities “to lay out, establish, alter, widen, extend, grade, pave or otherwise impfove streets and public §rounds, and to vacate the same.” By the platting of & city, the streets, in their entire width and length, are dedic- [ | ated, it was contended, to the use of the | public as streets. The city therefore be- comes seized In fee of the streets and alleys for the use of the local and general publie, holding them In trust for such pur- poses, and none other, The attorneys for the defense will take up their side of the case following the con- clusion of the argumgnts by the plaintift The defense is represented by W.

INQUIRY TO BE MADE BEFORE BOARD Some Interesting Local History on This Important Subject Antlci- pated at Coming Meeting of Commissioners. It is expected that the session of the county commissioners . this morning will develop some Interesting matters in relation to the county bridge work and that considerable local history will be made. The items scheduled for considera- tion include Commissioner O'Keeffe's second attempt to have received a report in con nection with the Elkhorn bridge, which was compiled at his suggestion and for his personal use by two experts, and which the ors refused to receive at for the alleged reason that It was a private communication, being addressed to Mr. O'Keeffe, A matter which is deemed equally im- portant will develop when the attempt is made to discover how many bridges are commission now under process of construction for which the contracts were let at various times, ranging from one to two years back. The statement was made by one of | the commissioners that contracts had been let for the construction of & number of the Snyder bridge and two others in the vicinity of Elkhorn, and that nothing has been done by the contractor.

Sheeley constructed the bridge, but the surveyor would not place his approval upon it. _Bheeley sued to re- cover the contract price and was beaten in the district court, but secured a fa able decision in the supreme court passing upon this case, however, the su- preme court modified the conditions under which the contractors, in the future, may execute thelr contracts. It was provided that each contractor shall draw up plans and specifications. It also provided that the county commissioners shall do like- wise. This was not done at the time Douglas county let the contracts for the erection of a number of steel bridges, over a year ago, and which are conspicuous today for their absence. The contractors refuse to bufld these bridges, it is alleged, thinking that some technicality might deprive them of their contract price.

The price which Is D, wholesale, | 1s about 50 cents less than the Californians could be brought here. These pears are green and very sweet and will be kept on hand for the holidays. About the only other representatives of the pear family now on the counters are the Bureau Clair- geau (32.60) and the Howell and Sheldon (32.25).

New York grapes are the highest in pric» for years. The Concords are getting in in fine condition and are going readily at 27 cents wholesale. This is because the local \ crop is very short. A car of Lodl (Cal) Tokay grapes got in and are the finest of the season. The western grapes have not hit the galt of the easterners, but the Tokays are stiff at §1.50. The quinces have caused a blg demand for sweet apples. There is sald to be a secret understanding between these two, for the quinces do not preserve readily without the apples. Grime's Golden and the Jonathan are the only locals enjoying an Al demand and they sell for $3.60. The New York apples, on the other hand, are quickly taken at $3.25 or $3.50 In preference to other home-growns at $2.75. LOCAL BREVITIES.
