 the illness of Mr. Aschroft. It is ex-
 pected that the gentleman will be

 pearance later in the week.
 Confronted with evidence enough to
 convict seven times over Thomas
 Butler. stood b, fore his honor yester-
 day afternoon and received his sen- tence of six mouths confinement. The
 cause was selling liquor to natives,
 Andy Moses and wife. being the pur- chasers. If Butler was their sole
 source of supply, it is now good time for them to take the pledge for
 six months at least, since that indi-
 yidual will hardly have time to ply
 the liquor or any unlawful traffic, with Indians or otherwise, since he
 will be under the care of ''our finest"
 until spring, gentle spring comes
 again. So long.
 Late arrivals at the hotels: Royal: Fiery Strombing. O. NJ. Haversen. Hans Vedesen, Ed. Ewapson James Boyd, R. Graham, Peter Owens, all from Hadley.
 Along the wharves may be seen
 numerous gasoline laucnhes tied up.
 There are also number of fishing
 boats in port. the Bonita, of Brocton,
 has just come in from Cape Shakan

 After due deliberatiou the council decided to relect the petition for the reason that reservation was includ- ed in the deed exempting the cannery from future assessments for street ad ditions or improvements. The council has agreed to build an S-foot plank road. but they did not feel justified in binding future councils, or to give away the city's rights to any particu- lar person or persons that others were not entitled 10. In this the mayor opposed. as did all the councilmen, making the decision unanimous one.
 IT appears that the owners of the capnery were laboring under a mis- taken idea. assuming that the cit, could dictate to them just when the cannery should build street, and they were not iu position to do so at the present time. When it was made known to the cannery people that they would not have to build the street un-il they petitioned for it they agreed to the modification in the deed.
 Repairs and additions to the powder dock, across the strait, have been con- pleted.
 Preparations for the presentation of the cautata Esther" for the holidays a ill shortly be inaugurated under the direction of the Laides Aid Society of the M E. Church.
 Owing to the uncertainty of ade- Quate correctness. and the meager teiegraphic correspondence. we have not attemUted an editorial review of the political situation. MT.

Knights and ladies. elbowed and danced with monks and anthropophagi, 1 whilst the birds and beasts looked on
 from the woods. mountains and seas

 1 The musicians were there with the
 real goods. They played, and played
 and played. And we could sill listen

 number of peoD;e ever gathered iD Redmens' HaIi, .he Eagles flight into
 extravaganza productions was highly
 successful. Eagles soar high. any way. and-weIl, that's all right, we
