suit, and the city will be the de-
fendanr. A decision of the supreme.
court has fully established thei la
bility of the city in such cases.
1t seems to me that, as a matter
of public economy as we'll as for the
sake of appearances, that those in
authority should see that present
conditions are improved. IF no
one else will do so, the city coun-
Gil as final authority in all matters,
ought to take the miserable walks

Immense Land Sales
S. N. Wilkins, who returned
last week from trip of 1000 miles
of travel through Eastern Oregon
relates farm lands sell very freely
in certain portions of the section
traversed. One man in a single
day bought 48 quarter sections of
hill farms, recently put under cu1-
tivation. The purchaser is sup
posed to represent syndicates that
buy up the land, and then sell it
again to arriving immigrants from
whom they receive $1,000 to ST.
500 per quarter section. These i'm
migrants they steer into the sec
ton through the efforts of agents
kept On trains, and constantly in
the East.
All over Eastern Oregon where
agriculture is practiced there is a
very large crop of wheat, and the
grain wagons now transporting the
cereal to market, monopolize the
country roads and are a sight to
see.
Mr. Wilkins went to Wa11a Wa11a
during his trip, to accompany J w
Moore who is to remain there dur
ing the winter.

From the Nachrichton Feb 22,
1899, Portland, translation:
"Our city possesses in Miss ST.
sic Fennell violinist of excellent
talents. This was demonstrated
in splendid manner last evening
at the concert at the Auditorium
The young artist deserves to be
mentioned with the utmost honor.
Whoever knows what it means to
the Wieniaski polonaise
in such a style that a composer
himself would admire it, must have
been smitten with the way she
played this most difficult compost
ton. This is no fattery, but gen
uine appreciation which is due the
young lady. We wish she would
favor us repeatedly with her beau-
tifu1 playing. She has our SINGER
est wishes for success in her MT
sica1 career"
Miss c L Huggius of Portland,
who is assisting Mrs Pipes in her
concerts, is a native of Scotland,
and received her musical education
in the old simultaneously Brus-
sells, Berlin and Paris, where for
ten years she had the best instruc-
ton obtainable, under such men as
Mehu1, Shott and LaPorte.
She is a thorough musician and
excels in every branch of her pro-
fession, both as an instructor and
performer, and as an accompanist
she has no equal On the Coast.
Miss Higgins finds ample en-
p1oyment for her splendid talents,
in her home city, and consented to
make such an extensive tour only
after the most earnest solicitation
Of Mrs Pipes, with whom she has
often played before. .-r
