the city council before the work is ordered sue d
petition is iurisdctionaI fer purposes of the as
sessment, and IL the council proceeds without IL
the assessment has no legal foundation and
must wholly fail. II would seem wise for per-
sons purchasing these bonds, in order TO be
secure, 10 see that there has been presented TO
the city authorities q petition, as required by
the charter. and that the proceedings have been
legally conducted up 20 the time of selling the
bonds. IL these requirements are fulfilled. in
my opinion the oondholder can safely rely upon
his security.
Every effort is made by tho city officers to COM
ply strictly with the law In every respect, and
II any defect be discovered it will be because
mistakes sometimes arise in spite of the best in
tentions and utmost care. All the proceedings
are matters OF record and can be Investigated at
any time by intending purchasers.
Our supreme court has minated in the case
OF Chalk vs. White. - Pacific, 979, that If the
city should sell Ill the real estate in the several
assessment districts to pay the assessment and
Ii such sale should not provide fund 81 fficient,
the city would rot be found to make good the
deficiency to the bondholder This is I'M
doubleday the law in regard 10 these bonds. and
whatever the supreme court may decide IN the
question now pending, there viii be no doubt
that the city will be under no obligation If, az

impossible, as tho city council cannot and will
not order an improvement If the total amount

valuation OF the property in the district.
think have touched upon the main legal
points involved in those bonds.
Liquor dealers, teamsters and others to
whom license is necessary, have sub
jected themselves frequently of late to
penalties by their ignorance of the law.
They have assumed that it is the duty of
the license inspector TO collect their fees.
This is not the case: all fees should be
paid to the city treasurer, and it is the
duty only of License Inspector Ellicott to
ascertain that no person is conducting any
business without license. Mr.. Eliicott
finds it necessary to give warning that the
law will be hereafter strictly enforced.

HELD UP IN TIE EVENING.
Young Man Robbed Cfose to His Home
Police Keex, Quiet.

Young Man Robbed Csose to His Homo
Police Keep Quiet.
J. Wallenberg, a CLERK. who resides at
Ali Marion street, was geld up at the cor
ner of Fourth and Marion streets between
and 10 o'clock last Friday night, and
robbed of his watch and about $50 in
money.
Wallenberg was going home from work,
and the early hour and central location Of
his boarding place dislalied any fear re-
specting the many bold zhighwaymen that
have been infesting ting city. He passed
by the Methodist churck at the corner of
Third and Marion, and then came
to. the row of trees that extends
to Fourth. When he reached Fourth
street it was only. half block
farther to the house and he was thinking
about getting out his latch key, when he
received greeting thas made his heart
beat more violently thar that of young
man who has fallen in lave with a pretty
girl, and his legs trefsble as if he was
speaking a piece for she first time in
public.
Throw up your hands," were the words
and then Wallenberg sag two men stand
ing before him with revolver in hand.
One Of the men emphasized the remark
by showing the ugiy-loeking muzzle OF
revolver under his nose and the other APP
preached him in a business-like manner.
Wallenberg is peaceable man and evil
IDENTIFY concluded that. revolvers were
trumps and that discretion was the better
part of valor. His hands went up and,
while there is no EVIDENCE that he. tried to
reach the skies, as the man did
at the time of the Northern Pa
cifc train robbery, he kept them aloft
until the highwaymen sere through with
him. While one held che gun the other
rifed Wallenberg's pockets. His silver
watch came first, then HIS money. between
SIS and $40. They were mot satisfied with
taking every valuable ts,at he had, but
even deprived him of his pass key.
The job finished, the cool robbers had
no further use for him a:ld ordered him to
60 on UP the hill. He obeyed, and the
successful highwaymen walked off, very
likely congratulating themselves on their
exploit in the heart of tlEe city and in the
early part of the evening when people
were pessing near them and the blue
coated guardians supposed to be on guard.
The affair was reported to the police. but
if any arrests have bees made or steps
taken to apprehend the sighwaymen they
have been religiously kent secret.

TRACK OVER THE SUMMIT.
Great Northern Rails Will Be Lai
Through Before Christmas.

Great Northern Rails Will Be Laid
Through Before Christmas.
The end of track coming from the east
on the Great Northern railroad is by this
time at the summit of the mountains and
tracklaying will be completed before
Chistmas. This information was brought
down by J. w. Stewart, contractor who
is just finishing his work near the western
end of the switchback and who is now at
the Grand. When he started down on
Friday morning the trackiayers were one
mile from the summit and had probably
started down this side yesterday. They
are laying one and half to two miles a
day, and, as it is only fifteen miles from
the summit to the end of the track laid
from the west, connection will probably be
made in about ten days. There IS four
and a half to FIVE feet of snow at the sum-
NIT, but it is shoveled Oft to clear the way
for track.
On the west end of the line the ballast
ing is done as far east as Foss river, over
fifty miles from Lowell. and the road is in
such fine condition that trains run over it
at the rate of thirty to forty miles an hour.

a velvet bow and long ends and allowed
TO fall itself in broad folds to the ground.
Arrangements like this and some of the
others spoken of are not strictly classed
as Watteaus, put they come under the
same general heading of loose draperes
which bear no necessary relation to the
gown.
For the rest there is a great rejoining
in color. Women walk the streets and.
face you in the shops and picture gal
leries in deep rich amethyst Tarple and
dark pinkish reds and in an immense
range of greens. There is more haste
than the season demands in putting on
velvet and fur--warm colored velvet and
dark fur to stand out in luxurious
contrast. / remember woman who
passed me on tho street a few days ago in
wonderful Henri III. cape OK brilliant
blue velvet with broad Greek fret en-
broidery of jet and silk and narrow bor-
der OF iridescent cocks feathers. The
mite of a shoulder mantle, which distin-
guishes this sort of cape and the high
plated collar had cocks feather trim
mings TO correspond. It's worth watch
ing when a woman sweeps down the
street in marvel of this sort with one
hand full of autumn roses and the other
extended to pick up the tail of her dark
blue cloth-embroidered gown.
The capes of the season are very full
lost in the depths of a great circle OF
violet velvet with mink tails fringing 1t
about the shoulders and three rows more
of the caudal adpendages of the unlucky
little beasts TO trim it. at the bottom.
Velvet and fur belong quite as much to
the house as to the street. 1t is n part OF
the still prevalent Russian craze that
when your hostess pours tea of an after
noon il is more likely than not to be in
some dull red cloth robe, folded across in
front with n border OF sable that runs
around the throat and down to the floor,
and with sleeves and perhaps an entire
side on the train at the back of black, or
may be blue velvet or corduroy
