people of oregon, to do something
with big school building which over
looks the town of Weston. 1t was
Quilted by order of the state board,
which sold it's contents to junk deal
ers for a song, and stands empty and
forlorn-an eyesore aud disgrace to
the town of Weston, which is not re-
sponsible but must bear the discard
ed burden of infamy. Personally 1
would like to stand at the top OF
Mount Hood and hand this building
in convenient fragments to the school
killers of the state-a half brick Tor
each head-but such a plan is i'm
practical perhaps. The next legisla-
ture may be kind enough.to appropri-
ate money for eare-taker. Something
of the sort should be done.
The town of Weston is not sorry to
be rid of the normal, which has been
a curse to it, but is ashamed of the
empty buildings left on its hands.
otherwise we wouldn't care. We now
have an irrigation project well under
way that will result in more benefit
to our town and country than twenty
normal schools Were it not for these
forsaken buildings, we would laugh at
the folly of the common wealth.

Will SWEEP STREETS
CITY WILL REMOVE MUD FROM
MACADAM THoRoUGHFAREs.
New Saloon Ordinance Passes Council
by Unanimous Vote; Important
Changes Made in Measure.

Dallas is promised relief from un-
desirable conditions caused by muddy
streets. At meeting of the city
council last night, the Street Commit
tee was authorized to accept the offer
of a machinery company to furnish a
street sweeper on 80 days free trial.
The company guarantees Its machine
to thoroughly remove the mud from
the macadam streets, the city being
under no obligation to buy If the work
is not satisfactory. The result OF the
test will be awaited with interest by
the officers, as they are anxious to
find some successful method of clean
ing the streets during the rainy Wint-
er months.
At its meeting last night, the coun-
ell ordered a S2-candlepower electric
light Installed at the crossing of Wash
ington street and Fairview avenue,
near the home of William Greenwood.
The new macadam block on Wash
ington street between Lyle and Lewis
streets, was accepted by the city.
The bill Of Mrs. Rhoda Hill for
$500 as damages for alleged injuries
received in a fall on a defective side
walk on Levens street was disallowed'
the special committee to whom the
claim had been referred submitting an
unfavorable report.
The new liquor ordinance was read
second time and was passed by
unanimous vote of the council. The
annual saloon license was fixed at
$500. The ordinance was revised in
few minor particulars, one of the
changes being to grant one license FOR
each 1000 of population or major
| fraction, thereof The original ordi-
nance provided for one license Tor
each 1000 population or Traction
thereof Under the new provision, not
more than three licenses can be grant
ed until the city shall have popula-
tion exceeding $500. Another change
provides that relative of an habtiual
drinker may file with the City Aud
itor protest against the sale OF Id
/ uor to such habitual drinker. The
1 Auditor shall forthwith file copy Of
such protest with each liquor dealer in
the city, ana any SAFE Hdue SoheA a.
to such protest thereafter shall con-
stitute a violation of the ordinance. In
other respects, the ordinance is iden-
tical with the text of the law recently
published in the city newspapers.
An agreement having been reached
with the Crider brothers relative to
the confinement of the waters OF the
mill race by concrete arch, the
street Committee was instructed to
build the retaining walls and furnish
the. the patterns for such arch--the
Crlder brothers to complete the work
The Office building on the lower
floor Of the city Hall was leased to ths
Ohio Investment Company, to be uset
as a real estate office. The leasing O.
! city ground east of the hall to bro
d ther of II. l.. Fenton for theater pur
poses was referred to a committee
Preliminary steps were taken LOOKING
to the better lighting of the council
chamber.

HOP MARKET is BETTER
Valley Growers Show More General
Disposition to Sell.

Tn the valley now, according to local
dealers, there is a more general dis
position to sell hops than was the case
a week or two ago, and in some cases
it is said that choice goods are avail
able at prices around 13 cents. The
market this week has been very
ouiet affair, quiet unlike that of two
weeks ago, and this in general is at
tributed to the present slackness OF the
demand.
Some revival of activity is expected
the latter part of the month, put
whether this will bring any improve
ment in the way of prices remains to
be seen. Meantime many of the grow
ers who about the first of the month
could have obtained prices around IA
cents for choice hops now regret that
they did not let go. Others appear to
be holding as firmly for 10 cents as
ever.
Tn the Valley a few scattering lots
have been picked up this week, al
121h cents for the most part, ana the
medium grades are said to have been
rather freely offered at lower prices
but with little trade resulting. 1t is be-
lieved that the hops now left in first
hands in the state aggregate abou'
70. 900 bales and of these approximate
lv one-third is counted as choice.
A report from The Dalles says tha'
Houser & Wertz, Tygh Valley ranch
men, have delivered to the Eastern
Oregon Brewing Company 14,0O'
pounds of hops grown in the valley
receiving IA cents pound for the pro
duet. The Tygh Valley crop runs IRON
$4,000 to 10000 pound year, ana a
a rule the crop is taken over by IN
Dalles brewery. These hops are OF TN
English cluster variety They won yer
favorable notice when exhibited at TN
Lewis and Clark Exposition and ais
at the Seattle Exposition Telegram
