THE COUNCIL DeADLockeD.
The Mayor and Three Councilman Want
w. h. Butts for Marshal.

The chief business before the city
council Saturday evening was the ap-
pointment and confirmation of marshal,
There is a deadlock in the common
council at the present time, on the one
side the mayor and three councilmen
and On the other the remaining six coun-
cilmen. Reduced to individuals, four
out of ten are determined that W. H.
Butts shall be the next city marshal,
and six of ten are for some one else.
The first business before the meeting
was petition from Mr.. J. NJ. Patterson
that the council fix rate of So night
or $l5 per week for shows in the armory
hall. Referred to the finance committee.
After the disposal of this business
| there was q momentary silence broken
by the mayor, who stated the object of
the meeting to be the selection of mar
shall. He said he had been unable to
make any appointment except the one
he had heretofore made, and hoped the
council would take another ballot and
make the confirmation. OF all men in
the city Butts was the ideal man in the
mayors estimation vino could work har-
moniously along with him. He should
| like to have his choice respected, be-
cause lie is in a great measure response
bic for the marshal's actions; whatever
mistakes the marshal makes is treasured
up against the mayor who made the
appointment.
Councilman Nolan moved that ballot
be taken, which resulted as before-6 to
8 against confirmation, when the mayor
announced that he had no other names
to propose. The meeting then adjourned
without further remark.
! No intination was given of yielding
/ bn either side, even in the event of g
lIchange in the vote. All this suits the
Ipresent incumbent, Mr.. Blakeney. He
Ibelieves the best way out of the diff
Guilty is for the mayor to present his
name, and he believes that seven out oi

agreed upon as the verdict. One of the
jurymen asserted the damages at $3.50,
and another at 100000. A new jury
might award more or less, and each
party to the suit seems willing to try a
new deaf.
An outsider who listened to the trial
Gays it was funny to hear the arguments
made. which tended to convey the idea
that there were tons and tons of fish to
be hauled to the railroad every day in
the year, and that ''trains or boats"
would be running over the boat railway
go close together that wagonload of
fish could not be hauled over it without
danger of being run over.
The facts in the case are that the bulk
OF the fish are caught at The Dalles
within ten days, and that the whole fish
ing season there lasts only about a
month. AS to the boat railway, per-
hAps Mr.. Seuiert may live long enough
to see boat pass over it, and perhaps
he may not; but it will be long time
before there is one boat per day passing
up and down over the proposed boat
railway. However, this probably cuts
no figure in the amount of damages
which should be allowed on general
principles.

usual. The placing of seats in the

The continued high water is having
its effect on some of the tenants in the
lower district. We learn that Mrs. Brit

the house she has occupied for the past
twelve years. It is about time the city

venting it's becoming stagnant, thereby
endangering the health of the city.
The prisoners in the county Jail are at
times visited by Mrs. Cross, who talks,
prays, sings and reads with them, en-
deavoring to induce them to accept
Christ. This morning the lady made
one of her periodical visits. She is al
ways treated respectfully and. courte-
ously, and undoubtedly elevates them
