l occurred yesterday morning, when a
restaurant keeper of Compton added an
other chapter to the story by relating a
little episode which occurred in his
establishment the morning after the
robbery. He said that Kirk and
his companion reached Compton about
6 O'Clock in the morning and asked if
breakfast wins ready. On receiving an
affirmative answer they partook of the
early repast, and on settling, Kirk, who
paid the bill, drew out double handful
OF silver, some of which fell and rolled
in all directions, the coins being promptly
picked up and pocketed by his COM
panion. The runaway night clerk was
''doing the heavy" in fine style for, in a
lordly manner, he told the cashier to
keep the change which was preferred
him when he paid the bill. The restaur-

the local officers OF the affair.
The cashier at the Nadeau House says
that Kirk must have been pretty well
laden down when he started, for in the
safe were $40 worth of quarters, all OF
which he carted off. In addition, he
took big sack OF silver, the receipts Of
the bar, and he evidently meant to get
everything, for even dollar that was in

haste, however, he overlooked a package
of 800 in gold which was in corner OF
the safe, this being the only thing left
behind that he did not take.

Business is rapidly increasing and
prosperity reigns supreme at this

Hop raisers find it very difficult
to procure white labor sufficient to
gather their crops, which are many

Salem is looking toward Falls City
for lumber supply. Salem realizes
that very small outlay of capital
will not only facilitate these necessi-
ties but bring great deal of other
traffic and travel over the road, we
moan the railroad from here to
Salem which will be built sooner or
later as sure as time lasts.

THE CITY DADS DOINGs.

Street Railway Franchise and the Tax
Levy for 1889.
Last nlght the city council met in
adjourned session.
The committee on ways and
means presented their report, fixing
the tax levy at eight mills. The re-
port was adopted and was as
follows:
"Your committee to whom was
referred the assessment roll, for the
purpose of making the tax levy for
the year 1899, beg to report as follows:
"The debt of the city, with inter-
est to date, is about Sl3,5OO. This
includes an Indebtedness carried
from last year::of $45O7.OO.
"The amount necessary to carry Oh
the city government from date to
Jan. 1st, 1890, will be about $4S33.O
This amount added to the present
debt would make a total liability of
S19, 1890
"The income of the city up to Jan.
lst, 1890, from licenses, etc, will be
about $4,000. The assessment roll
shows net amount of taxable prop
erty Of S1,645, l49. A levy of eight
(S) mills on the dollar would produce
$l3,24l.19. Added to this, the $4,000
deprived from licences, would pro-
duce n total of $l6,24l.19. This
amount deducted from the liability
of $l9,333.00 would leave a debt of
S3,09l.Gl, reduction from the debt
Of Jan. lst, 1889 Of S1,4lj.10.
"lt must not be overlooked that
the city has incurred heavy expenses
on account of the fire department,
additional electric lights, building
of bridges and relaying of innumer-
able sidewalks this year, and as it is
the intention of building several
cisterns next year or sooner, we do
not think it advisable to make
less levy than eight (S) mills.
Respectfully submitted,
