COTTNCTT,

On Wednesday, December G, next, at
8 p. M, a meeting of the members of
the above named council will be held as
usual. But what makes this particu-
lar meeting an unusually important
one, is the fact that new staff of Off
GERS is to be elected for the ensuing
year. The present staff, whose term
is soon to expire would feel much
pleased, much encouraged and much
fattered at seeing a large attendance
of the councils membership at the

ton OF officers an important alteration
of the bylaws is to be discussed No
member should absent himself the night
in question.

Three Criminal Charges.

Thursday three criminal com.
plants were entered in the recorders
court against Hon. Otis Patterson,
receiver of the U. s. Land office-one
charging him with assault and battery,
one with carrying a concealed weapon
and one with assault with dangerous
weapon. The cases will be heard in
Recorder Gates court next Tuesday at
2 o'clock. The origin of the cases 10
a trouble between Receiver Patterson
and Postmaster Crossen that occurred
in c. j. Stub1ing's saloon on Wednes-
day evening. 1t appears that Patter-
son and Crossen had had some words
in the postorfice during the day, Mr..
Crossen having ordered Mr.. Patter.
son out of the Office, and they chanced
10 meet in the saloon that evening,
when hot words passed between them
and Patterson assaulted Crossen.

The Funeral OF the Late Pr resident of
France Conducted at Paris.
PARIS, Feb. 23.-The remains of the
late President Faure were laid to rest
in the cemetery of Pere la Chase with
military honors. President Loubet,
army and government officisls, mem
bers of all foreign missions, the papal
nuncio and other distinguished per.
sons took part in the procession to
Notra Dame cathedral, where the
ceremonies took place. The streets
along the route to the church were
ined with soldiers, back of whom
surged many thousands of spectators
At times there were shouts of "vive
la armee," but nothing was said to
Loubet.
At the conclusion OF the ceremonies
at the Cathedral, the procession, with
the remains, proceeded to the cemetery.
The whole way was traversed without
an unpleasant incident. The military
and police arrangements were ad-
mirable.

Not seriously Damaged.


Considerable uneasiness has been
felt concerning the condition of fruit
trees throughout the county. it having
been generally thought that the recent
cold weather had done much damage.
This. however, does not prove to be
the case. :. Mr. Schaunss member: of
the state board of horticulture, has
made pretty thorough Investigation
of samples of trees sent him from all
the principal fruit sections in th 9
county and by personal inspection of
many of the orchards, he finds that
the trees have scarcely Been injured at
all, though the peach crop has been
materially damaged. He thinks at
least Is per cent of the peach buds are
KILLED, the most serious damage being
to early Crawfords and Salvies, the
buds of which are about all ruined.
Other classes OF fruit he believes to
be comparatively unininred, and he
looks forward to the usual crop this
season.

utility of a mouse trap with a music box
attached. He has. constructed one

wander into the trap, and are easily
caught.

A Mistake.

J. A. Kramer, in the Oregonian Of
the 22d, states that an expert by the
name of Mansfield was employed by
the legislature during the regular ses-
sion to expert the state printers &C.
counts and drew large salary for the
work, while he wasat the same time
employed in the state printing office.
In this Mr.. Kramer is mistaken. Hon.
John Michel, Of this city, who was
chairman of the senate printing com.
miltee, states that he did not appoint
an expert on state printing during the
regular session. although: Mansfield
was expert during the special session.
1t is but justice to Mr. Michel that
the mistatement of Mr.. Kramer be
corrected.

although the winter was very severe
in that section there was comparatively
no loss of stock among the sheep men
They all had an abundance of hay and

ter in good shape. Mr.. Pagan began
feeding in December and continued
until the first of this week, when he
turned his focks on the range, the
grass having started sufficiently to
supply them with all the feed they
needed. He says the loss of sheep in
the neighborhood where he lives will
not reach one per cent for the winter.
