That so many buildings accidentally caught fire in one night seems improbable. Summer weather prevails and a gen eral rain is not probable for two months more, says B. S. Pague.

The minutes of the previous regular and special meetings were read, after which Mayor Kuck delivered his mes sage to the council, which was as follows : Tu the Common Council of Inlk Citji: As niavor of Dalles City it is my duty at this time to recommend the adoption of such measures as I deem expedient and proper. The most important thing for the council to consider is the finances of the city, and see how we cun get money into the treasury as well as out of it, and that tbe money in the sinking fund is kept bearing interest continually. The sewer proposition should be taken hold of with renewed vigor and pushed to an enrly completion. I consider the city financially able (with the present tax levy) to provide street lighting and recommend the ap pointment of a committee of your body to see what can be done to that end. I recommend that the collection of the road (ux be continued until all who are not exempt have paid t lie same, us it is not right to collect only from a few. I call your attention to the fact that the reprinting of the new city charter together with the ordinances to date would be bandy fer reference, and, if it meets the approval, adviee that the same be printed in pamphlet form. The vault in the office of tho recorder has been in bad shape ever since the high water of 1804 inundated the same, when the water so suddenly came into said office, it was necessary to quickly move tbe records to a place of safety in order t o save them from destruction and in so removing them they were mixed together and are not now in. proper order, and I therefore recom mend that said vault be overhauled and said records be re-arranged and that all old books and p.tpers be conveniently stored away in said vault in order to make room tor those that are to be hereafter filed and preserved. And I finally recommend that you give what assistance you can to the board of fire delegates in their efforts to get a re duction in the rate of insurance by pro viding the city with a chemical engine and fire alarm system. Respectfully submitted, IIknky L. Kick. The bond of the treasurer, C. J. Cran dall, was then read and approved and placed on file. Next in order was tbe appointing of officers for the ensuing year, and Mayor Kuck in a few well chosen words presented the name oi X. D. Hughes for city marshal and he was confirmed by a unanimous vote. The name of N. II. Gates, tbe present incumbent was presented for recorder and was confirmed without a dissenting vote. The petition of G. A. Phirman, Jas. Like and John F. Root for night watch man were then read and a vole being taken Mr. Phirman was declared elected. A petition from B. A.

He will surely be the- right person in the right place if during this year the sewer proposition is taken up and a new system put in, for he is a practical and competent man in that line.
