The market for sail tonnage is prac-
tically unchanged. Long voyage YES
sells are offered freely and at low
rates. but interest is yet of an ex-
ceedingly meagre character, the gen
eral cargo lines and case oil shippers
being momentarily out of the market.
South American freights are scarce,
though vessels in most instances are
held at steady rates. Coal and lum-
Der tonnage for the coastwise trade is
neglected, and rates are nominal,
Steamer business is yet at a stand.
There is no special demand for grain,
while cotton, timber and other trades
are extremely dull Boats are freely
rendered and at low rates, but interest
is not stimulated.

county court was present, nohery
definite information was forthcoming.
County Clerk r. L. Bartlett said that
the matter had been placed in the
hands of Commissioner Loyelace with
instructions TO fix the bridge as soon
as he could. The order for lumber had
been Immediately sent in but there
had been unavoidable and unexpected
delay in filing the order Mr.. Bart
lett said that Mr.. Lovelace was getting
things ready as fast as he conld and
would do the work in a few days as
soon as the materials were on hand.
For temporary use free ferry was
suggested. The G.. p. W. i. & p. Co.
offered the use Of their scow which
might be readily converted into a fer
ryboat and the Golden Drift Mining
Co had offered to loan their cable.
The river banks were already par
italy graded at the site Of the old
free ferry and little work would
make them passable. A motion was
made by DR.. Smith TO adopt the ferry
boat idea but on division of the house
the motion was lost.
j. W. Howard moved that the chair
man appoint committee to procure
material for temporary bridge.
This motion was afterwards modified
to tho appointment of committee of
10 to work in conjunction with the
court. This motion was adopted and
the following committee were named
by the chairman: Henry Harth, Il.

Last Sunday CRAFTS Pass was a
"dry town" for the first time in
years. The mandate OF Mayor Bashor
to enforce the Sunday closing ordi-
nance was carried out. In his efforts
to enforce the city laws and to carry
out the promises under which he was
elected, the mayor deserves the hearty
commendation and support of the peo-
pie of the town. When saloon men
enter business here they are aware Of
the restrictions and they should OBJ.
serve them without being compelled.
Let them observe the laws as other
people arc obliged to do. The mayor
should be supported in this move.

be sacrificed to public interest. The
mayor considers that he was elected
on certain principles which he is
therefore in duty bound to carry out
and to that end he wants his own ap-
pointees in the subordinate offices.
The council insists that the mayors s
appointment are not satisfactory.
There should be an earnest effort made
to get together. Let each party give
way little if necessary. Let a con
ference be held and the points Of diff
ference enumerated and tabulated if
necessary and some means devised, by
arbitration If no other way presents
itself, to eliminate these. It is
imperative for the good Of the city
that war should be no more. Peace
is sweet.
