FOR REPRESENTATIVE.

Those OF our readers who have
a go at the April primaries We
wish to remind that we have a can.
dida,e in the field from St. Johns.
This would be sufficient cause for
every mothers son, who can get
out, 10 put in his little ticket for
him, But when we can add to
this that he will ftly represent his
district in the legislative halls of
the state, that he is a man of in.
tegrity, faithful To his friends,
Jealous for the welfare of this city,
energetic in both his public aud
private business life, that he has
just closed term of office in the
service OF the city where his every
act is above reproach, where he has
always worked for the advance
ment and best interests of the city,
every citizen should make il point
to get out and boost him. You all
know whom we mean: kindle {.
Couch, who is in the field as a can
didate tor representative from this
district, and in keeping with the
true principles OF American citizen
ship has declared that he will vote
for the peoples choice for senator.
Now will you be good, and give
our candidate a boost to what is
iue him, a seat in the legislative
ialls OF the state.

Council Proceedings.

The city council met In their satl
weekly session last Tuesday al
present except Peterson, absent on
leave. The jack knife gambling
scheme that was seeking q foothold
was sent a glimmeriug.
Remonstrance from the citizens
on Tyler street was read aud both
petition and remonstrance was laid
OH the table.
l.. l.. Jackson reported that the
water pipes along Philadelphia
street were not laid deep enough
being less than ~ inches below
the surface.
j. 5. Downey appeared and re-
monstrated against the ordinance
passed by the council regulating
the relaying Of the water pipes after
the Improvement Of the streets, but
he was unable to present a better
ordinance aud the ordinance passed.
Ii was suggested that as the water
company had been and were still per
sisting in the laying of water pipes
contrary to the specific terms of
their franchise. that the most effect
i've measure would be to notify them
that they must either remedy this
state of affairs or suffer the revoca-
tion of their license. This strin.
gent action did not seem to fiud
favor in the eyes of either the |
council or Mr.. Downey, but under
the terms of the water charter il
seems the simplest way out of the
difficulty.
Dobie reports that the Hansen
stable was all right, having been
'leaned up.

that the city has a 3o-days test of
machines in order to satisfy them
selves that they are all right.
II we were inclined to criticise
the action Of the council we would
say that an 8 or Io-ton roller we
think would be more suitable for
our class of work, but as the ma
chimes are to work to the satisfac-
ton of the council the smaller one
may then be secured in exchange
for this one at only the expense of
taking this one to the station for
reshipment, and this expense will
likely be more than covered by the
work done in the testing, as it can
go to the station on its own wheels.
Potts was granted a renewal of
his saloon license on motion of
King, all voting yes except Leggett.
Election bills to the amount Of

Bills To Be Acted Upon.

IL Is our intention to present tc
our readers from now on until the
June election the various bills
which come before the people on
that date for their acceptance or
rejection and will state the merits
or dement's of each as we see them.
This week we have four bills re-
ferred to the people by the legisla-
tive assembly, the first being mum
bered 3oo-3oI. On this bill we
would vote no, for the reason that
the law makers receive now more
than their services are worth. In
most cases and in case of an extra
session IS per day would be abun-
dant remuneration.
No. 3o2'3o3 granting permission
for the erection OF state institutions
outside of the seat of government
by act of the legislature we would
vote no, on, because such an ar
rangement could be used for polit.
ical purposes by the legislature by
any party which might be in power
to further their own ends, aud
against the interest of the people.
II the location OF such state institu-
tions were to be left to the decision
of the people We would be in favor
of It.
No. 3o4-3o5, an amendment to |
article VII of the constitution by
increasing the number OF, judges of
the supreme court from three to
five, we believe wise enactment,
as We do the clause regarding the
probate jurisdiction being extended
to the circuit court the same as Is
now exercised in the county courts.
This will insure better service in
the supreme court, and as we'll re-
lieve the county court Of much Of
is work. The extra expense ,
would be much more than met by {
he Improvement in the service and !
he promptness with which such
business would be transacted.
No. 900 3o7 to amend section I
No. II of article ii of the constitu- 6
ion synchronizing the general bien-
lial elections with the national cleo
ion, that is. the first Tuesday in
November, after the first Monday.
This will be great saving to the
itizens OF the state ON national
lection years. We would there
pre- vote for this bill.
'isrsd 10 the People BY legislative Assembly I

evidently intended to be section
9) of article Nv of the constitution, A
the compensation of mem
ers of the legislature to $500 for

We are very sorry TO note the
failure of the city park bonds to
carry. We are sure il our people
knew what a city park means to
the weary mill worker, the tired
housewife, the invalid; when these
individuals can get a holiday or an
idle hour for recreation, when they
can go out on the cliff under the
shade of the great frs and rest in
hammock or settee and watch the
craft plying upon the river or see
the big city up the Willamette or
the birds in the tr rees overhead and
over the river, while they rest from
their toll or recuperatc from the
III effects of disease, and IL they
could be made TO realize that all
this can be obtained at small
cost to the entire city now, that
a few years hence will cost many
times as much If IL can be obtained
at any price, we believe the vote
would be different than the one
just made. We believe IL this shall
be presented properly TO the people
and an opportunity given them TO
vote on the bonds they would
carry and we hope those most in
terested will present the matter
again in June.

Hardly man in this city realizes
what constitutes Bakers exports and
the quantity that is shipped from this
city. Few days pass that several cars
are not picked up at this station for
various points, says the Baker City
Herald.

four cars of fat cattle for Carsten
Packing company's plant at Tacoma,
and yesterday several carloads of
sheep were sent to Billings, Mont.
The brewing company shipped a
carload of ice to Huntington today,
and a hide dealer by the name of Berg
from Portland loaded four carloads
of hides, besides shipping many bar
rels of tallow. Yardmaster Thomp-
son when looking after the loading of
hides remarked, "This is where the
natives get skinned, but not like most
skinning the pelts go to commercial
centers and are made into commodi-
ties for mans use"

Mr.. Stangle is proprietor of the
Cold Storage company, whose retail
shop is on North Arthur avenue, ad-
Joining the Black grocery. Frey is
his cattle buyer. Both men are well
known and highly respected business
men Of Of the community, and there is
everywhere heard hope that they
will satisfactorily clear themselves Of
the charge made against them.
The arrest, says the sheriff, was
made on the strength OF suspicion,
long entertained by members of the
sheriffs force. that there was being
slaughtered at the Stangle abattoiI
beef which had never been regularly
purchased. When the sherlff's office
determined that for some time past
it has been the habit of the Cold Stor-
age company to purchase beef cattle
from boys and Indians, a watch was
set to see IL these suspicious of al
legged Irregularities were well ground
ed Last night Stangle and Frey were
discovered in the act of slaughtering
six head of steers bearing the brand
of the Evans Brothers of Malad and
OF Theodore Swanson, whose ranch
is down the Portneuf river near the
edge of the Indian reservation. The
sheriff says he has determined that
Evans brothers had not sold the
steers to the meat company and that
Swanson had not disposed of the cat
tie bearing his brand The arrest of
the butchers followed.
