three weeks hes has lain at the hos

or il he were well enough to send
him on to Portland where he has
friends and kinsmen. The trip was a
great trial to him, and the ladies
took faithful care Of him en- route;
but they all made il successfully at
high noon yesterday, and everything
was done for him that skill and good
will could suggest until the evening
train left up when he was made very
comfortable and went on to his
friends. Mr. Cooper was one Of the

Signed the Ordinance

Mayor Wise yesterday signed the
ordinance granting final payment
to Contractor Goodin for the work
performed on the Irving avenue inn
proyement. Mr.. Goodin's contract
was in the neighborhood Of $4,000
and he has received all Of that sum
less approximately $io36 AT a meet
ing Of the streets committee, the
Mayor and the city engineer, the
whole matter Of the Irving slide was
talked over, and it seemed TO be the
opinion that the slide could be bridg-
ed over and the Improvement thus
completed at cost not greatly ex.
ceeding this sum Of $io36 However,
the question must first be definitely
ascertained as to the advisability Of
trying to complete the improvement
BY constructing bridge over the
bad place; the proceedings, as re-
CARDS the taxpayers who are to pay
for the whole cost, might possibly
be invalidated BY thus changing the
plans and specifications Of the con-
tract, Il is thought, and hence this
matter has been turned over to the
city attorney for an opinion. Appar-
entity, however, a change as material
as this proposed one, and not dissi-
milar, was made in the West Com
mercial street improvement where a
new bulkhead Is to Be put in against
Mr. Hahn's property, and new as
sessment made, Between new bulk
