LOCAL MATTERS.


By order of the Council. we print In this
issue the petition of MIR. John A. Craw-
ford asking tile city to release him from
keeping la repair the rords and bridges
over the Canal in the city limits. The or
dinance granting the right OF way through
the city comnels the CaHalCo. to bridge
the Canal at all street crossings. and keep.
them in repair. Mr.. Crawford. proprietor
of the Canal, considers this tax too much
and asks the city tu relieve h;m OF the bur-
den. We greatly doubt the power of the
Council to relieve Mr. Crawford in the
matter, as such an act would be n
species of class Iegislation-a direct tax
upon the property holders of the city for
the benefit ofa corporation. In any event,
If the Council should repeal the ordinance.
the first result would be an expensive
lawsuit to the city, which might not be
terminated very soon, aud be attended
with the most injurious results to city val

Business men make the matter OF instir-
ing their goods and property of the first
importance, as no man can tell the day
nor the hour in Which his property may
be damaged or entirely destroyed by fire.
even though he mag exercise the greatest
care and watchfulness. Our farmers are
pretty generally making assurance doubly
secure by insuring their grain after pIac-
ing it in the warehouse. This is wise and
safe, and slionld be followed by all. In
sure Your grain. houses, barns. or goods
of any kind in n sound company. and you
can sleep soundly. Ameng the soundest
insurance companies doing husipess in
Oregon. none can be more highly recom-
mentled than the Connecticut and tile
German-Amcrican. Il is a ntewortIy
fact that both the above companies paid
every dollar of their losses in the great
Chicago and Boston fires. fact which
speaks loudly in their favor. The instruc-
tions to agents In every case IS to find ont
speedily the amount of any loss by FIRE in
which they are interested, and pay it to
the last farthing. These are the comran-
les i'm which to insure. Mr.. Jniins Grad
wohl is the accommodating agent for both
companies in this city, to whom all should
apply who desire to insure in safe COM
