AS was intimated in this paper
last evening resolutions calling for
the matchmaking of the principal
residence streets of the city were in
troduced at the council meeting last
night by Chairman Rem of the
streets committee. Two of the res
olutions, those calling for the i'm
provement of West Webb and East
Court streets, were adopted unani-
mously, while the West Alta street
resolution was read but not acted
upon.
The reason for the delay regard
ing the latter street is that it had not
yet been ascertained what tthe prop
erty owners along the block between
Main and Garden streets are willing
to DO. 1t is desired to have that
block paved with bitulithic, but
should the abutting property owners
refuse to pave, the block will be in
cluded in the macadam district.
Now that the macadam resolutions
have been passed they will be pub
lished for 10 days and should no re-
monstranee be presented within that
time the council will proceed to let
the contract for the work.
Would Remove w. & c. r.
| During the session last evening the
council took up the matter of the
w. & C. r. track and some very pun
| gent remarks were made regarding
the condition of the track by Mayor
Fee and others. That the present
| condition of the track is bad was
unanimously agreed, and Mayor Fee
declared that the company should be
| required to place the track in proper
shape or remove the same. City At
| torney McCourt was directed to in
vestigate the problem and ascertain
what powers the council has in the
matter. f-s
Likewise the o. R. & N. stockyards
came in for another dose of criti-
cism last night, and 1t is very prob
able that the company will be forced
to remove the yards to a point out
side the city limits. It was agreed
by all present that the present loca-
tion is improper from many stand
points.
Glasscock Resigned.
The resignation OF John Glasscock
as city street commissioner was ten.
dered last evening and by action Of
the council was accepted. The ap-
pointment Of the street commission
er rests with the mayor and no other
appointment has yet been made by
Mayor Fee.
At the instance of Jesse Failing,
Councilman Thompson brought UP
the proposition of allowing Mr.. Fail
ing to encroach upon the river by
constructing a wall of masonry out
side the levee at the rear of his
building. The place is being figured
upon as theater location and, ac-
cording to Mr.. Failing he desires the
right to construct the wall in the
event his location is used. No ac-
tion was taken by the council last
night.
Charter Meeting Tonight.
That the charter committee of 2t
will hold session this evening, COM
mencing at 1880. was announced last
night by Mayor Fee, who requested
all members of the committee be
present. The session will be held at
the council rooms and will COM
mence at 1880.

nEERs BAsE INGRATITUDE.

Freed the Man That Had Saved It
 From a Pack of Hungry Coyotes. Will Scott, holding down a claim in the tall timber a few miles from Butte Falls, had an exciting experience one day last week. He was at work In the timber some distance from his cabin when his attention was attracted by the ferocious barking of a pack of coyotes in the canon below him. The sounds were unlike the ordinary coy ote cry, and MT. Scott, becoming inter- ested, started down the hill to investi- gate and as he stepped around a bunch of thick brush came suddenly within few yards of magnificent buck surrounded by the pack.
 The coyotes had chased the buck through the deep snow until he had | finally made a stand and was making valiant though losing fight against the hungry horde. With hoof and horn he fought them off, but 1t was a los- | ing game, and had MT. Scott not ap- peared on the scene the unequal fight must have soon been over. So interes- ted were the combatants that they did not notice the presence of man, but when the coyotes finally saw him they quickly beat nasty retreat. With a snort of victory the buck turned his head and saw the man.
 l He paused for the fraction of min ute in surprise then, with lowered an tiers and blazing eyes, made a rush for this new intruder, and suddenly ] |, lao 1 He did not feet in mood for footrac- ing just then, either, so he shinned up a tree at a pace that would make the lnimble gray squirrel green with envy. Nor did he have any time to lose, for as he swung himself into tho first branches the tip of the deer's antlers tickled the bottom of his foot ana caught the hem of his overalls, rip ping them to the pocket.
 That was perhaps the proudesG buck deer that ever trod the earth in Ore gon He had put to flight band of wolves and treed a man and he con- cluded to camp there awdile and en- joy his victory. For an hour he guard 1 ed his captive, stamping his feet, shaking his head and making other Iwarllke demonstrations, while Scott remained in the treetop and wished
 for his rifle Finally the deer tired Of 1 the game and moseyed off into the woods, stopping once in a while and 1 looking back, as if to say: I've a mo-
 tor to climb that tree and get you yet"
 Was Scott mad? Well, rather. He had saved the deer's life, and for his kindness had been repaid with base 1 l,ngratitude. He is an ardent sports sman during the lawful season, but in his present state Of mind the whole
 deer family would better give him q
 wide berth-From the Central Point Herald.

THE ALCOHOLIC RBvvoLUT1oN

A SCort of Second Emancipation Act
 for the Country.
 Now that denatured alcohol has been relieved of the enormous tax of the in- ternal revenue, 1t is to be of infinite value to the farmer if we are to be- lieve Day Allen Wiley's article in Ap- pleton's. The author says:
 You may say that twenty years is a short time in which to accomplish such an industrial revolution as has been foretold. Is it? What did we know of the telephone q quarter of a century ago? Those who saw the huSo, ugly looking leather disk that was shown at the Centennial. Exposition in 1878, ridi- culed the assertion of the designer that 1t would convey words beyond tho or dinary range of tho human voice To- day the telephone has reached every where that civilization has reached. It is indispensable in modern life. Less than thirty years ego, the first exchange was established In America, and now some of them have subscri- beTs connected with 'Sentrap by the barb-wlre fences which not only bound tho farm, but form the telephone line, Twenty years ago. the oil stove was a curiosity, but as the fact became known that the surface of the country concealed an underground sea of pe- troleQm, the coal age was replaced by the petroleum era in many of tho states beyond the Mississippi The possibility that twenty years hence we may live in the age of alcohol Is no more wonderful than the advent of the telephone the oil stove, the cotton gin, or the combined harvester and thresh- CT.
 Back in the sixties "A. Lincoln was the name signed to document which caused the bells to ring and the bon fires to blaze from one end of the northern states to the other, for it freed five millions of people from slavery. Curiously enough 1t was partly to defray the expenses of the civil war abolishing slavery that alco- hol was literally placed in bondage. How this step has crippled the pro- gres of the United States may be un- derstood when it is known that In 1861, prior to the enforcement of the reye- nue tax, we were using over thirty mill lions of gallons, although our popula- tion at that time was but thirty-two millions. Had the farmer and the | manufacturer been permitted the free use of the liquid except as @ beverage, to-day our consumption would doubt less have been more than ten times this quantity, for Germany alone makes over a hundred million gallons a year, largely for industrial purposes, also tenfold more than we have manu- factured annually under the oppression of the revenue law. There is good req son for calling the law which at last gives us free alcohol for our industries, | the second act of emancipation, for 1t is in truth release from bondage"

SURVIVORS OF JOHNSON M

FEACrLAl EaNI IEIALL
 Of the afty-four Senators who thirty hire years ago participated in the im- peachment trisl of President Andrew Johnson, only five are known to be alive, and they are or were Republi- cans. Only two of these survivors vot- ed against impeachment. They are Gen. John B. Henderson, who then represented Missouri in the upper chamber, and who is now one Of Wa4shlngton's most conspicuous citi- 2ens, and E. G. Floss, who, now S5 years old. inGrm in health and utterly broken in fortune, resides with son at Albuquerque, N. NJ. The other three = those who vted for impeachment ex-Senators Sprague of Rhode Island, George P. Edmunds and William M. Steward of Nevada
 Of all the nineteen Senators whose ivotes saved Andrew Johnson, the world seems to have gone hardest with MT. Ross. He was a Senator from Kansas, and the feeling there was so bitter and intense that for his brave act in Washington he was driven from his State, discrcdited, disheartened and broken i'll spirit, Had Ross voted with the overwhelming majority of his party ia the Senate, Johnson would have been convicted of high crimes and misdemeanors and deposed from the Presidency. It was the one vote of the courageous Kansan that saved IFdm. Ross was at one time Territorial Governor of New Mexico, but aside from this he appears to have been able to stem the swift current of the tide of affairs,
 MT. Stewart, by the way, is the only living man who witnessed the adnis- tration of the oath of office to Pres ident Johnson by Chief Justice Sal mon F Chase, who afterward presided at the impeachment trial. The oath was administered in Mr. Johnson's room at the old Kirkwood House, now the site of the Raleigh Hotel, Q few hours after MT. Lincoln's death.-From the Washington Herald.

INcoNvENIENcBs OF AN INDIAN


 A prisoner in Rampore Boalia jail has a clear grievance against the gov- ernment. There are certain inconven- fences inseparable from prison life which all reasonable criminals more or less unwillingly accept, but the most complaisant draws the line at being marked down and clawed by a leopard ess in the seclusion of the prison yard. The animal seems to have been in spired by suffragetic like curiosity as to the inside of a prison and having got in by the highly irregular method of leaping the wall, she enSconced her self among the low brick piers on which the old barracks are raised from the ground. In the early afternoon she espied a prisoner in the yard clearing up, and like the impalsive creature she was, promptly leaped upon him, strik- ing him to the ground and claWing his back. Then, with the fckleness of her sex, she suddenly changed her mind, and in an access ot shyness ran away and hid herself among the brick pillars. ow Colonel R. R. Weir, inspector-gen- eral, happened to be in the village, and to him the Incident was reported. Though it cannot be said that the du- ties of an inspector general of prisons includes the destruction of vermin, Colonel Weir dIG not stop to consider technicelities. but borrowed a rifle. After some difficulty in getting within striking distance of the intruder as she lay in her fastress, he succeeded In planting his first shot behind her shoulder, after which nothing re- nlaincd to be done but to first cut the carcass and record its tape measure ment as more than seven feet,-London Daily Telegraph,

Grab Rope From Bellringer and Cut
 Down Trees.
 Ghostly happenings have disturbed the town of Kirkwall, the capital of the county of Orkney On Wednesday night says the London Daily Mall, the wife of the bell-ringer went to St. Magnus Cathedral to sound the cur few at 8 o'clock. This is an ancient custom still observed in the burgh. The bell had been tolled for less than a minute when, it is alleged, a figure suddenly appeared at the woman's side, snatched her hands from the rope and as mysteriously disappeared. Yesterday morning over twenty trees which a few years ago were planted in front of the cathedral were found to have been cut down. The night was a calm one; with brilliant moonlight, and the trees were standing at 1 o'clock In the morning.
 Hundreds of windows have an out look on the spot, and many people who were still astir at o'clock in the morning did not hear the slightest sound outside Yet an houy later every tree had been destroyed. The police are bat1ied.

How the Street Car Company Keeps
 Tab oa Him.
 They haze a funny way of running street cars in the City of Mexico, ac- cordiug to J. H. Handlon, who just re- turned from a pleasure tour of that country. He paid particular attention to tie street car service in the south 'ern republic.
 q went into the office of the electric car lines of the City of Mexico said MT. Handlon to a reporter oe the San Francisco Chronicle. 'Jn the waiting room was one of these two hit porce- lain cuspidors, chained to staple in the floor and padlocked saw the neces- sity of such precautions when in- spected the car service.
 "As a car leaves the barn fellow, called the 'caredor, or something like that tares q receipt from the conductor for everything in the cai. Any part missing when the car comes back Into :he barn are charged to the conductor. | saw a fellow docIed for missing brass rod from a curtain The coneuc- tor on the shift before him had got away with 1t. Another conductor had Iunscrewed brass handle off door to sell somewhere. The company ia losing | 2,5eO electric globes month; scnduc- tors sell the.1 and report them as l9oken, Now all globe sockets are etched with ac;d, and must be returned 1 to prove bieakage
 "They have no such thirg as a cash register on a street car Tn Mexico The l fare is six cents (MeXican) Each con- luctor carries small book from which he tears a little ticket and hands it to q passenger as a sort of receipt fo1 his fare. To encourage the public to ask for these coupons, they are good as lottery tickets at the monthly drawing when $2,50O is distributed in prizes. sc most of the passengers save their tick cts
 An inspector jumps the car occasion ally and makes the passengers show their coupons. The conductor has tc produce enough money to correspond with the number of tickets gone from his booklet
 "The conductors, however, have a way of telling the peons. Six cents with lottery ticket, four cents with out and then they pocket the fouI cents They have also issued counter felt tickets and pocketed the fares.
 Mexican conductors are paid 10 cents an hour (Mexican money9 What they get that the company does not is an, other matter
 "The motormen are paid IS cents ar hour the first and second years, IS cent! an hour the third year, 20 cents al hour the fourth year and p cents al hour from the fifth year on. The conn ductor, however, is never paid any nor, than 10 cents an hour, because his jol is full of good chances, The reason tn lmotorman gets so much more pay i that he spends about half his time il jail.
