COUNCIL GRANTS
@. S. |. PROTEST
ACAINTS WALKS
Railroad Will Level and Improve the
.g Ground and Put Crossings
Bridge and Judicial

Division Superintendent Pierce, of
the Oregon Short Line railroad, ap-
peared before the council at their
regular session Tuesday evening, to
| protest against the sidewalk ordi-
nance which covered the laying OF
sidewalks on the east side of west
Main facing their propery. He
: said he was not aware any petition
had been presented for such pur-
pose, and desired the council to in
form him how such arrangements
been agreed that sidewalk on each
were made, whether arbitrarily or
at the wish of property holders.
Several Of the council members spoke
on the subject explaining that it had
side of Main street would enhance
the appearance of the street, and that
the property should at least be park
ed to give finished uniformity to
the paved thorofare.
To Install Crossings
The matter of crossings at Bridge,
on the south side, and Judicial, on
the north side came into the discus
sion and Mr.. Pierce promised that
they should be put in, but inasmuch
as the sidewalk was mere question
of looks and seemed to him to have
no real advantage in it for either
town or railroad, Pierce held out
against it until the council finally
consented to waive the sidewalk de-
mand If the property shall be levelled
and made presentable. tt was in
timated that in shaping up the
ground there is some intention of
parking it eventually.
Watchmen and Safety Gates
The discussion Of danger at cross
ings led to another promise from the
that he would con-
slider placing watchmen or safety
gates at two or three of the main
crossings where the frequent passing
of vehicles and pedestrians was con-
making danger, especially at
Bridge street, where, as the council
men pointed out, section house
partly obscures the view Of the trains
from the east side.

Witnesses Testify


above the heart.
p Witnesses Testify
The principal witnesses, members
of the party at the Campbell home
testified much as they had before the
coroner. Deputy Thompson related
how he, with Deputies Chamberlain
and Damn, went to Campbell's house,
believing that gambling game was
being played. He declared that it
had reached the deputies ears that
threats had been made against the
officers who should attempt to raid
the place, which was the reason why
all three deputies went with drawn
guns to the door. They looked into
the windows and saw men playing
cards, then Damn, who was in charge
of the party, tried the front door and
that Damn demanded admittance sew
eral times in the name of the law,
and then shot thru the door, about
81 inches from the floor. The door
flew open and they saw man in
white shirt sleeves running back to-
ward bedroom door. In the next
instant gun was seen coming from
the back room toward the officers;
two shots were fired almost stimuli
taneOusly and the deceased, who was
just rising from a chair at the table,
fell forward to the floor at the Of
ficers' feet. Thompson said he then
went around behind the house and
saw man running. He chased the
man and demanded that he stop, fir
ing two shots into the air. The man
kept running and was not apprehend-
ed.
Found no Guns
The testimony of Deputy Chamber
lain was in substance the same as

shots before the shot that came from
the room toward the officers After |

house to their knowledge had fire.

LABOR SHORTAGE is
AFFECTING WOOL IN
EUROPEAN MARKETS

PORTLAND, Ore, June 9.-With
great strength, with rurther price ad-
vances at some points, have been
shown for wool at American centers
abroad the market has been rather
erratic.
The trend of the English trade,
which started unusually strong with
higher prices forced. soon gave way to
extreme dullness. with some holdov
ers reported rs result of the lack
Of demand
This latter condition is by no means
due to any lessening of demand for
woolens, but to the fact that the Eng
lish wooden trade has been greatly
handicapped by the inability Of the
mills to secure labor. The demands of
the English government for more men
have forced out of the mill working
ranks most of the young men, and re
Gently the mills in the Bradford dis
trct have been unaDie to operate up
to their capacity
The situation has become SO acute
that it has been proposed that the gov
ernment lower the age for leaving
school from IA to i3 years. AS the
wooden mills of the Bradford district
are operated mainly with young men
and girls. the lowering of the school
leaving age would be a material aid
to the mills.
A Bradford correspondent of the
Boston Christian Science Monitor
says:
During the first half of the Liver
pool East India wool auctions there
were offered 25, 200 Dales. of which
1900 bales remain unsold. Though
competition was good at the outset,
1t became erratic a. the sales pro-
gressed. and prices developed some
rregularity. Compared with Fehru-
airy March rates, Vicanere and Joria
est whiteswere 1-2 to 10 per cent,
and Kandahar best white. 5 per cent
lower. Kandahar inferior white 10 per
cent lower, Jessulmere and Marwar
white steady best yellows IL to 10
per cent lower. medium yellows 10 to
! Is per cent lower, black 5 per cent
lower grays per cent dearer, and
ginned steady. The Withdrawals con-
sisted chiefly of best white Joria and
Vicanere and sandy parcels. Exports
are still prohibited.
