CRY SoRiP.-The Coancil last Friday
evening passed an ordinonce which pro-
vides that scrip issued on street i'm
provement contracts shall be receivable
in payment of taxes assessed thereon.
This is wise measure and should meet
with the hearty corporation Of all prop
erty holders whose lots are affected by
the grading now going on. If such
will purchase the scrip issued to con
tractors on the streets now being ina
proved, IL will tide over the present
stringency in the money market, and at
the same time be safe and sure invest
ment. The scrip issued bears interest
at 10 per cent. per annum. Ii is made
receivable for taxes on property situate
on the several streets now under con-
tract for improvement. Forty DAYS af-
ter contracts are completed those taxes
are due On Ninth street, for instance,
the contractors can finish in three
weeks. II is obviously to the interest of
every property owner on that street to
have the work completed without I'M
necessary delay. This can be done If
the residents thereon will advance the
funds, or a portion thereof necessary,
and take the scrip issued by the city,
which, as before mentioned, is receiv-
able for taxes on the property. 1t
strikes rs that { is would be very wise
thing 10 do, not only by those affected
by the Ninth street improvements, but
by all others having property liable for
improvements now uRder contr ct. Il
certainly will have the effect of urging
speedy completion of work under way
and will greatly relieve the contractors
who are straining every nerve to faith
fully and honorsbiy complete their
work in accordance with stipulations.

The accident occurred ut a road cross-

miles from this city. The cars jumped
the track and were piled up in heap,
Mr.. Buffers body being nearly covered
by the debris, his face and limbs be-

the matter is certainly one for the in

rails and planking of q crossing for the

this instance completely filed with a
thick piece Of plank which caused the
cars TO leave tbs track. Whether il vas
put there by some ignorant persons or
by some tramps for the purpose of re-

OPPOSITION STEAMsHIPS.-It is rumor-
ed in Portland that the Central Pacific
people are about to put on a line of
steamships between that city and San
Francisco. There may be truth in the
rumor, but it is doubtful. It is much
more probable the Central Pacific Com
pany will put its line on to British Col
umbia and Puget Sound. They already
have the beginning of line in the San
Pedro and a sister ship now building,
vessels entirely too large to engage in
the Portland trade. They also have
invested in the Carbonate coal mining
property probably full million dollars,
they having paid for it in crude con-
dition $3.50 900 two years ago. Further
than this, they are in with Mr.. Duns-
muir in the Vancouver Island railway
project-a scheme in which there is the
biggest money to be made for the out
lay of any enterprise on the coast. In
Guiding the two steamships, the Car
bonado property and the Vancouver
Island Railway, it is safe to estimate
the interests of the Central Pacific peo-
pie in this northern country at three or
four million dollars. Thew have no in
tersst in Portland whatever, and they
will of necessity be compelled to come
here If they go there. Under the cir.
cumstances We can be excused for dis
crediting the report as far as Portland
is concerned, and will rather pin our
faith to the idea that Puget Sound and
British Columbia are intended instead.

CHANGING GRADEs.-The building in
the rear of the stone bank of D. Horton
& Co., on Washington street, has been
moved forty feet further west, and been
raised three feet. The new LanQston
barn has been built upon the raised
grade, as was also the Marshall build
ing. The new wharf of the Oregon I'm
provement Company, costly and mag
nificent structure, was put up on the
same level, and the advantage thereof
is most plainly evident to truck and
dray men, and not at all dimly SO to
other Glasses of citizens. Now that this
has been done. and now also the un-
questioned value of the move has be-
come so apparent, movement 10 made
to lower the grade three feet. What
will he gained by this lowering, we do
not know, but that it will compensate
for the damage to be done We do not
believe. Commercial and other down
town streets are visibly higher each and
every year, and will continue growing
higher for number of years to come,
though how much can emily be conject-
urea. New wharves and new buildings
should be erected With a view to the fu-
ture street level. Il will be q bad thing
ON the front to have the proposed grade
three feet lower than at present, when
Commercial street is three feet higher
than at present.

Investments in the South.
New York Star.

1t seems that English capitalists
appreciate the possibilities of the
South great deal better than our
Northern fnanciers, for they are
buying and increasing in the South
ern States in great quantities. Their
purchases In Florida are literally i'm
mense; but they have bought large
tracts in other Southern States as
we'll, and have their agents on the
lookout. They pick up plantations
which cap be bought for a trife of
their value, and seize upon large un-
cultivated properties, to hold for II fu-
fure colonizing OR clearing up. The
English idea seems to be that a few
wears hence the Southern States will
be the most attractive and profitable
in this country, and they mean to
take the occasion by the foretop and
anticipate the inevitable. And for
once they are right. We have all
along urged our capitalists to turn
their attention southwark and make
investments, where from the nature
of things there will be the greatest
growth the next twenty-five years.
