working Them Too Hard.

1t is little wonder The Dalles team did
not win the first races of the tournaA
ment, when it is considered that
the cart they were compelled to
drag was twice as heavy as that
of any other team. Their cart weighed
600 pounds exclusive of hose, and with it
and the trappings, about 1000 pounds.
It was almost enough to stall horse,
and then to think that twelve men were
compelled to drag this immense dead
weight and run at breakneck speed on
lose the race, is calculated to draw tears
The ether teams had carts weighing 300
pounds. It was comparatively easy to
start off with 80 light cart and to main
tain good rate of speed with ease. Not
so with the big cart. The effort to start
the unwieldy affair and get it under
headway left the boys painting and ex-
hausted before % yards had been COW
cred. They were in no condition to
race after such a useless task. 1t IS a
wonder some of them did not break a
blood vessel. The fact that they were
only beaten by six inches in the hub
and-hub race shows of what superior
timber our boys are constructed. In
this race the winning team also had a
start of thirty feet. The department
should have racing cart. All the carts
in the city are service carts and very
heavy, and it Is nothing short of inn
posture to iHflict so heavy burden upon
our own boys, making them work
harder than every other team to win q
prize, to say nothing of the danger Of
losing the honors altogether through SC
unfair handicap.

round Dead Near Astoria.

An Astoria dispatch says John Sven
son, fisherman, was found dead at
Clifton yesterday, with a bullet wound
in his breast. At first it was thought
Svenson committed suicide, but Coro-
ner Pohl's investigation now makes it
appear that it was case of murder in
stead. Svenson was the keeper of the
scow from which woman and two men,
whose dead bodies were afterward found,
disappeared during the fishermen's 8
strike, a few months ago. 1t is surmised
that Svenson knew something of the
murderers of these people, and, under
the stimulus of the reward offered by
the county court, was about to make
some damaging disclosures, and hence
his taking off.

c. F. LAuER FOR MARSHAL.
The Third Name Presented by the Mayor
Receixed nfirmation.
7he vexed marshalship auestion has

/The vexed marshalship question has
ing called for the purpose last evening
five of the councilmen agreed upon a
name, and there will not be another
farce of the kind which has lasted two
months for another ten. It is mistake
to suppose the mayor and council are
not as tired of the new way of choosing
a marshal as the people are. By the
change made by the legislature in The
Dalles city charter, the mayor is given
supposed authority to appoint marshal.
But actual experience proves it to be a
myth. The only power with which the
mayor is gifted is that he need appoint
no one who is persona non grGta to him
Aself. The difficulty is that the appointee
must also be the personal choice of five
bf the councilmen, which is very diff
Icult requirement. The mayor and the
council are aware that the position in
which both have been placed has not
been a dignifed one, and they would
have been glad to have disposed of the
marshal appointment long ago.
At the meeting last night, full coun-
ell was secured about 9 O'Clock, when
they were called to order by the mayor,
Mr.. Menefee. He at once presented a
list of names, the third name securing
lfthe requisite five ballots. The name OF
L. S. Davis was first presented and
lacked one of confirmation; Jess Blake
Nney lacked two; while G. F. Lauer re-
eeived five votes of the nine and was de-
eIared elected marshal. -
