HARRIsBuRG's ELECTION About n
year ago the saloon license, at Harrisburg
was raised TO $1,000. II proved local op
ton measure. The saloons stopped but
the drug stores kept running. AS result,
though, during the last year II has not cost
a cent to run the city. There have been no
drunks and the Marshal has had nothing to |
do. But the sidewalks have become dilap-
idated and prominent citizens refuse to
consent to the levying of tax, and as re-
suit there has been slight reaction. Mon.
day at the city election the issue in the |
choice of the Councilmen was low or high |
license. The low license ticket was elect |
ed as follows DR. w + Mendenall, John |
Bennett, Theo. Roach, VIM. Roach, las, |
Sabin and ] L Fuller. The remainder OF
those elected were ] p Schooling, Mayor
L Douglas, Marshal, ard Geo Isom, Re- |
corder, there being no issue except as to
the councilmcn. AS result two saloonswill
Immediately be opened in the city and q |
revenue of 5000 be raised. That Is the |
way the matter stands at Harrisburg. The |
Marshal will now have business, and the |
Recorders Court will be opened.

of .Lyonsville, the new town which he has
just established this side of the Mehama
bridge on the Oregon Pacific, was in the
city Tuesday. lie informed US that he had
already sold twcnty.one lots in Lyonsville,
all of the purchasers of which declare their
intention of building at an early date, so

Now FOR THE Posr OFFIcE.-Wc are
informed that two petitions are now in cir
culation in this city for appointment as
postmaster. One asks for the appointment
of Mr.. C. w. Watts to begin as soon as the
change can be made after the inauguration
of Harrison. The other petition asks for
the appointment of Mr. Frank L. Kenton
whenever a vacancy shall occur. We un-
derstand Mr. Kcnton and his friends do
not want any change until Mr., Thompson
serves his term out.
