Ooun- cilniHit J. J. Cooke nlone voted nn, for the reason, be said, that the motor line's charges for shipping and delivering- goods from Portland wero by fur the cheapest, and cheapness tf freight was an important point to our business men. The resignation of J. S. Purdoin as city marshal and of Sidney Smyth us city stirvoyor were accepted'. Hnw to Tti ii.n a Hall. Some time ago, the Gladstone sawmill sold the furmnru' nllll.allinnf.A nf t.'lllltlffliriHa fl hill of lunilrer amounting to over fllOO at cash prices, to build a nan. ine alli ance bad organized as a co operative concern with 60,000 capital stock and was presumed to have an Binplrt cash balance. Such proves not to be the case, and though the ball lias been built and formally dedicated, suid sub alliance owes yet nearly the entire lum ber bill, and none of its members are anxious to shoulder it. H. R. Green Appointed Marshal Some of the disappointed individuals who were sjeking the position of city marshal to which S. R. Oreeu has been appointed by Mayor Straight, are do-in- "dirty woilc'1 to prevent Mr. Green's confirmation by the city council. As it isn't likely that the councumen win oe influenced In this matter by any other consideration than Mr. Green's per sonal fitness for the position, not ly do sulloty talk, his malignors are only wasting their breath. Tim Head of Fifth Street. To render the upper end of Fifth street pas sable, two stone walls, four feet thick al the base, will have to be built. In no other way. that is by an outlay or some hundreds of dollars from the city's very empty treasury for this purpose, can the b In lis on either sitle be kept irom caving down, unless they be carted off. That deep cut is proving as extrava gantly cosily as it is absurdly foolish. It is a wonder Mrs. urougnton uoesn t sue the city. A Cut of Two Bits in Waoes. Wages for common labor on the west side ol the river have been reduced to $1 .50 per day. A year ago the reduction was from M to fl .7o. When mere are more men than work the result is that wage workers cut one another's throat in the greed for employment. Prize Beef fob Sunday. Putzuld & Gale, the boss butchers of Seventh street, have killed a steer weighing 25o5 pounds. The tallow from the animal weighs 223 pounds and a quarter 43G pounds. The Bteer will be cut up on Saturday for customers for Sunday s dinner. IN THE KOOTENAI COUNTRY. A Mining Camp on the Upper Columbia River. Silas Wiight returned last week from the Kootenai country, B. C. As con siderable gold is being taken out of tho ground there by placer mining, tho business depression nits not seriously affected it. Ho found our old friend, John Officer, occupying a good position, and Andy Vvylaud, who lives in a cabin by himself as he did on the Molalla, to be the same jolly old sixpence. He is known among his numerous acquain tances by the short name of "Dad " The Columbia river Is the dividing line between British Columbia and the state of Washington ; on our eide lies the vil lage of Boundary, and on Queen Vic toria's side Waneta Landing. The two mining towns are connected by a steel bridge which is guarded by customhouse Ulcers. Andv went across to Boun dary one dav to buy a supply of grub. With the change he had over he pro cured some United States liquid refresh ments which lie stotted away under his flannel shiit. On the bridge he was stopped by an officer, who demanded revenue. "I am a poor old man, -60 years old," said Andy, "and I have no money. It yon want ibis grub, take it and go to the devil with it." The officer did not have any use for bacon and coffee aud prize baking pow der in the raw slate and was loth to con fiscate them. "These tilings are for John Officer." said Andy, "and you want to collect your bill from him." Dad darted past the officer with his provender on a run to the other end of the bridge. Boundary is located on the spot wi.ere, in 1855, John Officer abandoned an am ple supply of provisions on account of the hostility of the Indians, who were in close proximity. The Kcotenai country is rough and mountainous and has rigorous winter.'. It i reached from Portland by way of Spokane at moderate expense in a few days' travel, tbe last 12 miles by pack train.

Editor Courier: There were registered at the city jail this evening, January 2d, H!4, 17 honest tradesmen who are oa their way south looking for work, who wish through the columns of your paper to thank the city authorities for the kind treatment received while in your town. Our little party was composed of 2 painters, 2 stonecut ter, 2 sailors, 1 machinist, 1 tinker, 1 printer, 2 carpenters, 2 cooks and 4 miners. While there is quite a crowd of us it is not our intention to be disor derly but to travel through the country peaceably and respecting all the lawa. Not wishing to take up too much room wo will close by asking the well-wishes of the citizens and that we be not classed aa tramps. Respectfully, R. Francis. Oregon City Jail, January 2d.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING. Mayor Straight not being present. the first meeting i f the new council was called to order by Councilman Kelly with all members present. The men.. bersofthe council are : C, O. Albright N. 0. Greenman, J. J Cooke, H. L, Kelly, and Bon Jaggar, II. C. Slovene, Geo. Brouifhlon and K. M . Howell, new nn mu:rs. Councilman Kelly waa unanimously diectcu president oi council lor the en suing year. As the mayor had not as yet ap- poiuteti ine committees, the council was unable to do anything and It adjournod to meet on on Friday at 7;30 p. m. On motion the messaira nf Mavnr mraigm was read and ordered placed on nie, i ne message la as lollows: Utnutmrn: Hav nil been e eeleil tn preside at your councils and to execute the laws made in pursuance thereof, it becomes my duty unon assuminir Die oince oi mayor 10 commend to ynur con- .i.-f .. siueraiioti sucu measures as 1 shall deem necessary and expedient for the welfare and government of our citizens. l sincerely feel the great responsib ilitv resting upon me In my undertaking, and I trust that I may hae the undivided support not only of the council but of all good citizens. I trust it iB useless for nie to anv that during your deliberations you will have my unqualified support, to the end that you may enact such wholesome laws and bring about such a needed reform in the administration of our citv's affairs as will redound to the univeraul im.id nf our citizens. In the expenditure of the people's money, be ever mindful that It is not your own, but simply entrusted, to be expended In an economical wav. Do not understand me that I advocate par simony; but I think the nresent finan cial condition of our city demands that we pursue intermediate grounds between such a course and extravagance. Utir lellow citizens have elected von from among their number, believing that a public office is a public trust, to be tilled with honor to yourselves and mu tual benefit to all. We should preserve our public credit, aud the method I would suggest for your consideration is to use It as spar ingly as possible, avoiding occasions of unnecessary expense and accumulation of debt, and also by vigorous exertion to discharge the same, not ungenerously throwing upon posterity the burdens which we ourselves ought to bear. The custom of incurring indebtedness has become too prevalent and should be dis couraged, not only by individuals, but by cities. One of the greatest burdens of modern times is to meet the obliga tions we ourselves, and others have con tracted for us, under the false idea that indebtedness brings prosperity. But if this be true, the prosperity is not to him who borrows. Governments are instituted to pro mote the general welfare and happiness of mankind. Our city government, though diminutive compared to that of our nation, should not be an exception to the rule. In the discbarge of your duties you will ever Lear in mind the sacred principle that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be rasonable, and that the minority possesses its equal rights, which equal laws must protect, and to violate which would be oppres sion. You will therefore listen with at tentive ear to the demands of our most humble citizens and mete out their just portion which yon in your deliberations will be called upon to give. In order to facilitate and expedite busines, the council is divided into com mittees of finance, fi(e and water, streets and public property, and health and po lice. I assume it to be a lact that each member so appointed will feel it his duty to give all matters referred to com mittee his personal attention and inves titration. The finance committee is given special charge of and is expected to guard with watchful eve all the avenues to extrava gance and allow no bills to be reported favorably unless the city has an equal benefit, remembering that services per formed for the cily are worth no more than it performed lor a private inui vidual. - The fire and water committee should see that the fire department is well or ganized and drilled to its duties and well supplied with apparatus to fight a city a most dreaded foe. The committee on streets and public property should acquaint itse If with all the public streets of the city, the better to enable It to judge and rep irt upon the condition and requirements of each section, so that in the expenditure of monev upon the streets the best results may be had for the least mouey. The committee on health will bear 1 n mind the old proverb that "Health is the next thing to wealth," and diligently preserve and improve the sanitary con dition of our city and prevent if possible the ravages of all contagious diseases that might seek a lodging place in our midst. I call the attention of the council to the fact that in 1887 the bonded indebt eilness of our citv was $10,000. To-day it is $50,000, with a floating debt of about $3000, making a net increase per year of 7lliu lor the paat six years. In order that the council may be put in possession oi data lor its government during the coming year. I will say that the city '8 probable income will be $8700, divided as lollows: License! U201 City tax 4.0UO And the probable expense of running the city government lor tne coming year will be divided as follows Interest on public debt W t hiol of police 1100 olice 7-J0 Treasure! 800 Recorder 0 Attorney law Street commissioner 400 Kent of ho. house on the hill M Kire companies 100 City priiitini '. I.lirhts au7S Estimated miscellaneous cxneusos loao You will notice that I have not esti mated the expense of cily surveyor, as it is an office paid by fees, and the amount of work will therefore regulate the amount to be paid out. 'According to my estimates, there will beadencltol fouz. and still my est! mates for attorney and miscellaneous expense is far below that of last year. You will now readily understand why I liave advocated a reform in our city government, and tuke it for granted that the expression at the polls must be in terpreted as a revolution in sentiment on the part of the people. Therefore the construction I have put upon the city election of one month ago is that of an expression of a general desire and emphatic demand upon the part of our taxpayers and citizens for a change in the policy of enacting and executing measures of city government. I will not point out particularly at the present time where the council can curtail ex penses, bat I trust you will all readily see the necessity for the same and act accordingly, and I trust that your acts will be such that at the expiration of your term of office your fellow-citizens will say, "Well done, ye good and faithful servants." Hiram Stbaioht. About a year ago I took a violent stuck of la grippe. I cooghed day and night for about six weeks; my wife then suggested that I try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. At first I could see no difference, but still kept taking it, and soon found that it waa what I n eJed. If I got no relief frcm one dose I took another, and it was only a few days until I waa free from the rough. I think people in general ought to know the value of this remedy, and I take pleasure in acknowleding the benefit I have received from it Maiiso Mi's Tao. 01 way, Ohio. 5acent bottlea for sale by U.
