The bit yrle rommlHlon were out on a tour of Inspection yesterday after noon and found that the elements had lorn down the truck near Tongue Point and that some evll-difposed per sons had carried the lumber away.

Actonllng to th.r government sum mary of exports and Imports at the various customs districts of the coun try for the eight mouths of tile lineal year ending March 1.

It Is not likely the river police will have much to do, however, as the fishermen realise It Is cheaper In the long run end far less trouble to obey the law than to violate It. There is bound to be sonm "outlaws" and It Is hoed by keeping the Identity of the patrol boats a secret to drop on them early in the season. The services at the Methodist church Sunduy were of an exceptional charac ter. The church waa crowded at both services, and the must? wus pronounced the bchl ever heurd til the Methodist church.

COUNTY POLITICS. Coroner Pohl declares that he is out of the race for renomlnatlon. It was re ported about town that It was at one time his Intention to run as an Inde- endenl candidate, but Mr. Pohl states thut this Is an error as he would not run ns long as Charlie Mathena Is will ing to 'Ittanil In." This leaves the contest between Mathena and Parker, according to present Indications, as it I now Improbable thut anyono wl:l appear against Mathena for the nomi nation before the cltlien s convention, The Saturday Herald, the personal political organ of C. J. Curtis, declines to play In the back yard of the county republicans. Even the front yard now lecm to bo out or ravor, ana no long er will "the Invulnerable C. J." be found swinging on the gate, seeking a flirtation with Judge Gray and Charlie Fulton. In the Herald of Sat urday "C. J." proinulrfatid his plat form and declaration of principles In the following causer lo : "During the next few months, the people who read the newspapers will be regaled with political discussions. In fact, politics will be the absorbing topic of conversation. We are on the eve of a political campaign In Clatsop county and the Indications point to a close contest. The republicans nave at ready nominated their ticket of which the Herald has nothing to say at pres ent. The Inclination of voters to vote for men and not for party Is growing stronger In Clatsop county every elec tion, and with the light vote that is certainly to be polled no candidate will have a sure thing this year. The road question will also cut an Important factor In the campaign and Is certain to divide' the republican vote. Tho cltlsens will be In the held with a strong ticket and It will receive a large support from the country. The Herald has refrained from taking any part In the campaign preceding the con vention and It Is probable that It will not take an active part at all." ELECTRICITY IS LIFE. It has been demonstrated that an animal killed by electricity may be brought to life. An ordinary current (loos not produce Instant death, and If It were possible to have In readiness suitable apparatus, consciousness could be restored by the Infusion of detihrln- ated blood. In a like manner Hostet ter's Stomach Hitters, the well known tonic, Infuses life Into debilitated bod ies, by revitalizing and purifying the blood. This wonderful medicine per meates and distributes nutritive mater ial to every part of the body. If its quality or circulation 1b deranged, trouble follows. Constipation, dyspep sla, liver and kidney disorders all spring from a weak condlMon of the digestive organs, which affe:ts tho blood, and through It the entire body. The Bitters cures all such disorders and Is an excellent spring tonlo. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAT. Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tab lets. All druggists refund the money If It falls to cure. H. W.

Weils' Sell Its PUil le lh City Roitlie Butlacii Traiactc4 by CeescIL The city council lust night declined to open the bid of the West Hhore Mills Company for furnishing lights for the city during the fiscal year soon to begin. This wus the only bid re-relv.-d and Councilman Hcherncckau presented a resolution extending the time to advertise for and receive bids ten lays. Count llman Goddurd ack ed why this action should be taken and wus promptly answered by Mr. Bcher ne knu, who said he was satisfied that other parties were anxious to put In bids and they should be given an op portunity to do st. In view of this cir cumstance, he believed It would be unfair to the city for the council to take action on a solitary bid. Coun cilman I'lxlnger stated that he did not believe any outside parties could put in a plant and prepare to serve the city by the beginning of the new term, and announced his Intention of voting aguinst the resolution. A vote was then taken, all voting In favor except I'lxlnger and Cook, Mayor Uergman was not present. C. W. Fulton, representing the West Hhore Mills Company, requested that the hid be returned to the company, which was granted. The company presented a proposi tion to sell their plant to the city. In asmuch as there had been considerable talk of the city operating a lighting system of Its own. The proposition, which follows, was referred to the committee on ways and means: "The West Hhore Mills Company will sell Its electric light plant to the city for a price to be determined by a board of appraisers selected as follows: The city shall choose one competent man, a resident and taxpayer of the city, to act aa an appraiser, and the West Hhore Mills Company shall choose one man, a resident and taxpayer of the city, to act as an appraiser, and the two so selected shall choose a third, and the three shall appraise and value the property known as the West Hhore Mills Company's electric light plant, comprising the station building and the real estate on wnicn ii aianus; the boiler house and boilers, with the real estate It occupies: the engine, and power machinery, dynamos, both arc and Incandescent; poles, cross-arms, electric light wires and lines, electric meters, transformers, lamps, arc and Incundescent, business and franchise.

If you shall conclude to accept this proposition let the committee on ways and means, or such representative as you shall des ignate to act' on behalf of the commit tee, notify this company of the time and place where representative or rep reseptatlves of the city and the repre sentative of the company, may meet and mnke the selection of appraisers and take such other steps as shall be necessary to carry out the proposi tion herein contained. "It to be understood that In case the city shall acoept the valuation made by the appraisers, and shall purchase the property, then each party shall pay one-half of the expense of securing the appraisement, but If either party shill decline to accept the valuatlonand complete the contract of purchase on its part, then such party declining shall pay the entire cost of such appraise ment. It is understood that the property proposed to be sold and which shall be purchased, and all machinery, boil ers and appliances owned and used by the company, and also Its franchise, and all materials and supplies which the company now has on hand and which are suitable for use In the busi ness of electrlo lighting.

It was decided that Chief Stockton be authorized to ourchase an extra horse for the lire department. It Is pro posed to relieve each horse in the ser vice alternately for brief periods In or der that they be kept In better condi tion through being allowed In neigh boring pastures. A lengihy discussion arose as to the legality of an individual holding two positions under the city government. It was stated that a ?ase in point waa that of Harry J. Mansell, who Is a member of the city board of equaliza tion, at the same time holds a po sition In the ottlce of the water com mission as substitute for H. G. Van Dusen. who Is in California on a vaca tion. No one seemed to know whether the position would be permanent or not, nor whether the law precluded the privilege of one holding two positions under the city government at the same time. The matter was referred to the city attorney for an opinion at the next meeting. It was . learned last night that there has been much fuss and flurry for nothing. Mr. Van Dusen will In all probability return to his post ' the first of the month, after which time Mr. Mansell's connection with the commission will cease. BFST 15-CENT MEAL; RISING SUN RESTAURANT.
