We believe that by the annual meet
ing Of the association to be held in
February, 1900, that we can pay the
amount paid in by the stockholders
since February, 1898. We think that
no other business should be considered
until these amounts are paid. (
We therefore recommend the adop-
ton of the following resolution:
Resolved, That the Directors be, and
they are hereby directed and author
ICED to use their best endeavors to pay
to the stockholders in full the amounts
by them paid on their stock since Feb
ruary, 1893, and that If possible such
payments be made on or before Feb
ruary, 1900.
By order of the Board of Directors,
P. B. JOHNSON, Secretary.
After the reading of the report the
recommendation of the board was, on
motion Of Hon. Grove L. Johnson,
unanimously adopted
A general discussion then ensued as
to what salary or commission was be-
ing paid to the Secretary, the matter
being brought before the meeting by F.
D. Ryan who stated he was acting in
the interests of several stockholders.
Vice President w. A. Curtis informed
the stockholders that the board was
paying the Secretary a salary of $50 a
month and per cent. commission on
collection of rents, which added, on an
average, about S6 a month to his sal
ary. and thought he earned more than
the amount paid. John Feeney
thought the Secretary had been faith
full and earned his salary in the past
but thought now as there was not sc
much work that expenses could be cur
tailed and said that he had a proposi-
tion from J. M. Henderson to act as
Secretary for 3 per cent. on the col
lection of rents and per cent. on the
sale Of the property. The Secretary ex-
pressed willingness to resign and j
l.. Siller and other stockholders thought
the Secretary was entitled to even more
salary and the thanks Of the stockhold-
ers, rather than any criticism, as he
mad charge of over hundred thousand
dollars worth Of property. The matter
was finally disposed Of by referring IL
TO the Board of Directors to see if any
curtailment Of expenses could be ac-
complished, when the meeting ad.
journed.

made necessary because after full and
careful examination we found in each

the debt was not possessed of any
other property out of which the amount
due the association could be collected
and by receiving from them a deed for
the real estate in payment of the debt
we saved the expense Of attorney fees

ONE VICTIM OF vEsUv1Us.
An American Who Lost HIS Life on
the Burning Mountain I1xty
Years A9o.

There came near being tragedy on
Mount Vesuvius recently, when several
ladies ventured too near the crater
ard were all but swept away by
streams of molten lava which poured
from the mountain. This fact recalls
the sad death nearly so years ago of
Mr.. Charles Carroll Bayard, of Della
ware, who had many relatives in Mary
land and was widely known in this
state.
The accident which cost Mr.. Bayard
his life happened in 1850. He was an
officer in the navy and, arriving at
Naples, a party of naval officers and
others was made up to visit the crater
Of Vesuvius, which was then semi
active. Among those with him was
the late Charles Tucker Carroll, of Bal
timore, father of Mr.. J. Howell Carroll,
now United States consul at Cadiz. Mr..
Bayard was the brother of the late
Richard B. Bayard, father of Mr.. Rich
ard 81. Bayard, of Baltimore, and a rel
ative of the late Thomas F. Bayard.
The party mad reached the summit
of the mountain, when suddenly there
was a shower of red-hot stones thrown
high in the air. All hands took to their
heels, and few moments later discov-
cred that Mr.. Bayard was lying on the
ground behind them. One of the heavy
stones had struck him on the arm,
making frightful wound. He was
taken back to Naples and given the
tenderest nursing, but he died, and his
body is buried there, his tomb having
been suitably marked IN later years.
A strange thing about the accident
was the fact that Mr.. Bayard was loath
to make the trip which ended in his
death. He had a presentiment that he
ought not to go, and even in the car
riage on the way to the mountain top
he caused the vehicle to be stopped and
declared that he would get out and
walk back to Naples. His companions
demonstrated with him and tried to
convince him that his presentiment
was but foolish fancy, and he finally
consented to accompany the party.
When hewas hurt none of his friends
had the slightest idea that he was ia
tally injured and believed that he
would be well in few weeks. Not so
with him, though. "You may ampu-
tate my arm," he said. "or do anything
you like. but you cannot save my life.
am going to die. I felt It when I |
started for the mountain, and DOW
that this has happened am convinced |
that nothing can save me-"
He was right. He fingered for about |
ten days and then death came.-Balti-

Obstructing sidewalks.

Portland papers are making a Wig
orous protest against the practice in
vogue in that city in obstructing the
sidewalks with displays of merchandise
and bicycle racks, which they claim in
some places 30 nearly take up all the
walk that pedestrians often have to
take the streets in order to get by.
The papers certainly are justified in
making these complaints. The prac-
tice of some Portland merchants of
occupying two or three feet of side
walk the whole distance of their stores
to make display of wares, and then
placing a bicycle rack on the outer
edge Of the walk, leaving only few
feet of clear space for travel, is
abominable. 1t gives visitors to the
city the impression that their comfort
or convience ds not considered and
they make their stay in the city as
short as possible. In The Dalles it is
different. With very few exceptions,
confine the exhibits they
make to their stores or at least to the
outer walls thereof, leaving the side
walks for the travelling public. Port
land might learn something in good
city regulations by sending delega-
tion here to investigate our methods.
