The aldermen present were Loye,

ana he is willing to trade off few

taken up in discussing street commits

support the good Democrats who are in.

Officers.
Nearly all of the banks of the city
held their annual meetings Yesterday at
the close of the regular business of the
day, but with very few exceptions the
elections were merely matter OF form,
the changes being very few; and where
they did occur, SO slight as to make no
material differences in the affairs of the
Institution which they concerned. At
the First National bank there Was a
slight change in the directorate, but the
officers chosen were the same who had
so ably discharged the same duties dur
ing the year just closed. The Bank of
Commerce also made slight alteration
i'll the personnel of its board <Of
directors. but here also the officers Of
last year we're reelected. The board of
directors chosen by the Nicollet Nation
al showed no change, and when the
election of officers occurs later in the
week it is not likely that it VIII effect
any change. The others for tine most
part replaced their directors and officers.

A RED-LBTTER DAY.
That's What the Thirtieth Was to the
A. F. C.

While the ASTORIA boys were jubliat-
ing over their football vistory Wednes-
day afternoon, Tallant and Carruthers,
two of the members, were running races
In Portland against the crack amateurs
Of the northwest. BY reason Of the
floods, no telegraphic news could be OBJ
Sained on Wednesday, and It was not
till yesterday morning that any account
of their performances arrived in this
city. Tallant romped away with the
half mile and milesevents in magnificent
style, beating all his competitors and
showing the Multnomah sports that the
younger organization down the river
was becoming formidable opponent.
Prof. Spencer, who brought the news.
states that the captain OF the Astorias
won both events with the greatest ease,
and opened the eyes of everybody con-
siderably. Yesterdays Oregonian, in a
long account of the contests calls him
"a wonder" Carruthers was placed in
his heat in the hundred-yard race, and
in the final came just six inches short
Of victory, a most credltable and en-
couraglng showing for such young
runner.
In the evening, at the Marquam
grand, Tallant was presented with two
handsome gold medals, and was heartily
cheered by the large audience at the
theatre. Though loud calls were made
for speech, his innate modesty would
allow Of no response. 1t Is safe to say
that he would rather have run a hun-
dred miles than appear on that stage. II
it had been possible to avoid the agony.
In connection with the football game,
It may be said that the arrangements
made for handling the large crowd that
attended proved almost perfect, and
that there was not a single hitch
throughout. Messrs. d. Stuart, r. Prael,
George Cherry, Horace Thing and the
secretary, Frank Gum, were mainly
responsible for this state OF affairs.
Every member Of the football club is
requested to be In attendance at the
club rooms tomorrow Saturday night,
at 1880 sharp. Important business Is to
be transacted, and 1t is necessary for
everybody to obey this call.
Tallant will be home on the r. II.

MACHINE LUBRICANTS.
A Subject Upon Which Many Mechanics
are Ignorant.

There Is considerable ignorance
among mechanics on the subject Of lu-
bHcatlon, which appears most proml-
nently In a lack Of familiarity with the
relative intrinsic values of the common
lubricants and their adaptabllity to the
various purposes. AS a result much i'm
jury Is done TO machinery by their in
discriminate use.
For ordinary machinery, the tempera-
ture Of which does not exceed that OF
a common steam engine, says Paper
and Press, tallow is without exception,
the most effective and least deleterlous.
The Boston Journal Of Commerce re-
Gently observed that the difficulty OF
applying this tallow renders oil more
generally acceptable.
The stiffness Of plumhago, soap. tall
low and oil can be verled by their inter-
mixture. and the addition to tallow and
oil Of potash and soda will reduce them
to any desired consistency. potash pro-
ducing hardness and the latter the re-
verse.
These alkalies destroy the sensitive
ness of oil and fat to atmospheric
changes. but render them useless on the
pistons Of steam engines and other very
hot bearings. Glyceifne is probably the
best lubricant for very fine machinery.

the warm weather and the providential
occurrence of the. showers on the night
of the 25th, have had most beneficial
influence in starting the growth Of vege-
tation that had been retarded by the
constant cool weather of the past
month. The wheat that turned yellow
has again resumed its healthy green
color since the warm weather began.
Timothy, clover and alfalfa is approach

THE CONDITION OF CROPS.

The following is the crop-weather
bulletin for Western Oregon issued by
the Department of Agriculture for the
week ending Tuesday, May 20, 1884,
Temperature became much warmer
than the normal averaging six degrees
daily. The precipitation was aboui the
average, except in the Rogue River and
Umpqua valleys, where 1t greatly ex-
ceeded the normal. The sunshine ex-
ceeded the average.
Crops-The reports received this week
are the most favorable of the season as
to the progress which grain, hay, hops
and vegetables are making 1t becomes
more evident as the season advances
that the frosts injured the fruit crop
materially. Fruit on low lands suffer ed,
while on the more elevated lands little
or no injury resulted. Considerable
fruit is already dropping. In some sec
tions 1t is thought that an average crop
of fruit will be secured. The apple crop
will be large In all sections, having suf-
fered the least from the frosts. A corre-
spondent writing from the southern
section expresses the opinion that
cherries will be abundant, prunes Will
mature on half Of crop and apples
will be about the average, which seems
a conservative estimate. Strawberries
have been In the market in the southern
counties for several weeks; they will
not mature a full crop. though the sec
ond crop Of blossoms give promise Of
an abundance. Small fruits will be
plentiful. Fall wheat is heading in
Jackson, Josephine and Douglas coun.

Dor, for deep-water vessels. within

needs a railroad to make her great
