Days.
ISSUES STILL UNSETTLED
Before Case Comes to Trial Council
Will Wrestle With Proposition
With Relation to Drain.

The trial OF the case of Matthias
Schnell VS.. the city of Rock Island. or
the storm drain litigation, will go over
again for few days II was set for
trial for May 90. but will not come up
until May 81. Whether there will be
further combinations or not is not
known. The jury that was TO report
for the trial of this case will not be
called until May 81 AT 9 o'clock
Although the court has given much
time this week TO the settlement of is
sues in the Schnell case, and further
arguments were heard this morning
the case is not yet ready for trial The
first day of this term it was supposed
that the issues were all settled and
that the case was ready for trial. In
fact, it was already on the trial list

Action of Council.
Meanwhile Mayor McCaskrin made
his startling announcement in the
council meeting of the proposed reso-
luton that would be offered at the
next session of that body. What. if
anything, this will have to do with the
trial of the case in court remains to
be seen.
The mayors proposition, according
to his statement, is to serve notice on
Matthias Schnell TO complete the drain
according TO contract within a certain
length Of time, and that if he fails to
comply IL may either be completed at
the expense of the bondsmen or con-
demned as a nuisance. This, accord
ing to the mayors statement, he be-
lieves to be simply business PROPOSE
ton, and a resolution that ought TO
have been put on the records of the
council eight years ago. when the city
decided not 10 accept the drain or pay
the contract price for it unless COMPEL
ed TO do so by the courts.
The council meeting at which this
proposition will be offered is held the
night previous to the date set for trial
of the case. But. as this is being done
Independent of the proceedings of the
court, it may have no bearing on the

Salmon Run is Light.

George H, George returned from a Wis
it to the sound yesterday, He reports
the salmon run to be about the same as
last year up to the present time, the
pack being light On Saturday about
10000 pounds of salmon were received
from over 80 traps, sufficient for only
25OO cases, which is considered an ex'
ccedingly light run,
On the Columbia river reports from
the various canneries show very light
run, with all eanneries away behind
with thei: pack, as compared to last
year. 1t seems doubtful if there will
be any large run this year, as the fresh,
ct has been light. With large freshet,
the salmon remain on the outside Of the
bar until it subsidies and all come in,
the run being steady, and none of the
canneries expect to equal the pack of
last year.

Mr.. Loughery states that they killed
about $50 sea lions during the time
they were there. The beaches are
strewn with the carcasses of the dead
seals and he thought that the com
plants made by residents along the
beach was the cause for discontinuing
the work. The work, however, has
been beneficial to the fishing industry
very few sea lions being in the river.
1t is probable that another effort will
be made again next year to destroy the
remaining sea lions.

Weekly Crop Summary.

The past week was cool, with consid-
cradle cloudiness and some rain, which
occurred principally in the coast coun-
ties and the northern portion Of the
Willamette valley. The weather gem
orally, however, was ideal for haying
and the ripening Of grain. The bulk Of
the hay crop has now been secured in
excellent condition. and the yields near
ly everywhere were above the average.
Fall wheat harvest has begun, and the
harvesting OF barley is progressing
rapidly. These crops promise to be un-
asually good. Spring wheat is heading
and filing nicely, and oats show con-
siderable improvement since the last
report Hop lice are still numerous
and great deal of spraying was done
during the week. Gardens, potatoes.
field onions and corn are making salts
factory advancement. Berries continue
plentiful in the markets, but apples,
peaches, pears, plums and prunes, al
thogh doing well now, promise yields
smaller than usual.
