steadier or more substantial growth
than Temple Lodge, No. 8. A. o. Q.

the first degree upon two candidates

1t would seem that the recent grand
jury was rather hasty in condemnirg
the city council for the e''deplorablec con-
dition of the roads leading into the
city" II we are correctly informed
the council has exerted every effort
in its power to better the condition of
the roads, and besides it is rather
questionable if the grand grand jury |
has jurisdiction over the acts OF the |
council in such matters.
DR.. Farnham and wife, who were |
passengers on the Regulator on her |
trial trip yesterday, were much pleased |
with the scenery on the Columbia, and |
consider it the finest they have ever
seen. They visited the hot springs at
Collins Landing, and partook of the
water. the doctor says, without any
"stick" in it, but Capt. Waud fur
nished the "stick" when he bumped
up against pile in making landing.
DR.. Farnham speaks in high praise OF
the hospitable treatment extended to |,
himself and wife by the officers of the
D. P. & A. N. Co.
One of the most effective apparatus
;or subduing fires is the chemical en-
CINE. In cities where they have been
Used it is estimated that over so per
cent of the fires are put out with them
ind that much less property is dam
ICED than where water is used. For
'ome time past the city council have
,een considering the advisability of
ldding chemical engine to the fire
apparatus of the CITY, and it is stated |
hat if one is put in insurance rates
will be greatly reduced, thus effecting
great saving to the insured. Mr.. A. I
}. Long, of Portland, is in the city to-
lay comforting with the city author
ties, and will submit proposition to
hem for supplying chemical engine.
