ty the report of City Attorney A. Levy,
relative to the pay of aldermen for each
and every meeting, which was read at the
last meeting, was accepted, and the faith
erS will hereafter he paid S. for every

After some discussion, Alderman
Mackey offered a resolution to the effect
that W. p. GOOdloe be detailed to spend
or 3 days at the garbage furnaces and
report his opinion regarding them, giving
quantity and price of fuel, etc. The
resolution was tabled as u second was
not heard.
Alderman Joe Beckmann made a
motion to reject the two garbage furnaces
as they do not fulfill the contract, The
motion was seconded by Alderman Jack
Daugherty.
Alderman Mackey said he did not know
enough TO vote on the matter. He
claimed that the reports had not been
satisfactory and have not furnished suffi-
cient light on the subject. He said he
Ditied Mr.. GarretSon.
Alderman Joe Beckmann said he Ditied
no one: there was no such thing as
pity in a case of this kind.
Alderman Daugherty then arose and
discussed the question pro and con. and
was in favor of living up to the contract,
but claimed that the fumes arising from

Dalles Chronicle: 1t is now
known to be a fact that a new
freight schedule has been adopted
by the Union Pacific system east
from Portland over the Pacific di-
vision. Portland saw that some
thing had to be done to hold her
trade with Eastern Oregon, and has
succeeded in accomplishing the
adoption of this new schedule. 1t
is not yet positively known what
reduction has been made. What
Pendleton now wants, says the
Tribune, is a new freight schedule
from the East, and she and Walla
can get it if concerted action is ta-
ken. There is no reason why Spo-
kane can have her freight delivered
2Oc on the hundred cheaper over
the Union Pacific system than PEN
dleton and Walla Walla, and the
two latter cities ought to rise up in
their might and show this company
what virtue there, is in the Inter
state Commerce Law.

Governor Pennoyer has very
properly vetoed Durham's bill to
amend the Australian ballot law.
His veto reads: "To the House of
Representatives: House bill No.
IT'S, amendatory of the election
law, is herewith returned with my
disapproval. The present election
law has been in operation only two
years. 1t has secured that which
every citizen should desire-the Sc
crecy and sanctity Of the ballot.
The citizens Of Oregon have become
familiar with its provisions, and
objections plausible at the time of
its enactment are fruitless now, af-
ter a successful trial. Although
doubtless not intended, the effect of
the change proposed by this bill
would be TO destroy, in a measure,
the secrecy of the ballot, and to af-
ford an opportunity for vote buy
ing. The result it is most certain
would be desired neither by the
legislature nor the people. / veto

St, Paul Globe; The bill appro-

the worlds fair passed both houses
and became a law This gives MIN
nesota $150,000with which to make
a respectable appearance before the
world. The sumis none too much.
It will prove to be money well in
vested. Our state is not any too
well advertised, and this is the op-
portunity of its existence. We need
more farmers, more mechanics and
more capitalists. In short, there
is plenty of room here for more
good men of every class. And then
we need a broader market for our
products of every kind. 1t is un-
necessary to offer an argument to
prove the potency of advertising,
Everybody possessed of grain of
intelligence knows its power. A
"fifty-cent" exhibit would do us
more harm than good. If we are
to reap any benefit from our effort
in that direction, our exhibit must
make an attractive showing, and
to make such among the mammoth
presenta tions which many other
states are preparing to make, it
viii cost every cent ofthis large ap-
preparation. We had far better
make no showing than anything
less than what $150,000 will afford
us.

reduce the peoples taxes? 1t costs
the people altogether too much to

TIE ISLANDS IN DLSP UTE.

The Sandwich Islands are situated
at nearly an equal distance between
the shores Of America and Japan,
between 19 deg. and 27a deg. north
latitude, about 2100 miles from
San Francisco. There are fifteen
of them, but only eight are inhabi-
ted or inhabitable. The eightinhab-
tied islands have q combined area of
6740 square miles, Hawaii being the
largest, containing an area Of 4210
square miles. The islands were dis
covered January Is, 177S. 1t is
stated upon apparently good au-
thority that at that time they con-
tained a population of 100000, but
the population has since then been
constantly decreasing.
In 1923 it was less than $50, 900;
in 1882, 130,313; in 1886, 10S,579;
in lS49, S4,163; in 1853, 71,019; in
in 1860, 67,979; in 1876, $685.
5916 ofwhom were Chinese, 4561
whites, and the census Of 1890
shows the population to have been
$4,000, Of which "a ,436 were natives,
$50 half castles, 15,301 Chinese,
1880 japanese, 1902 Portuguese.
and SOLO other foreigners. This
continued decrease has been at
tributed to the dissolute habits of
the native population. Until a
comparatively recent period mar
riage existed among them only in
name, and is not now much better.
Children were brought up for the
most part by others than those
who begot them. Abortion was
common and children were regul-
arly put to death during the first
year Of their existence. The ma
tive population has decreased over
80 per cent. since the discovery of
the island. By the census of 1890
it was but little more than one
third of the total population, and
it is probably tess than one-third
today.
Of the total trade Of the islands
91.18 is with the Unitd States.
The principal productions are sugar
and rice. Of the plantations grow
ing these products Americans own
74.17 per cent These figures show
that we have q good right to take
the Sandwich Islands under our
protection.
