It would eem from an occurrence In
the city lait night that an American
citizen ha not a right toexprea bis
opinion In regard to the war now boing
waged In Sinth Africa. At the new,
that the British hail won a vlctnry, an
old gentleman ventured In hurrah for
England, whrn a burly blacksmith, of
an age to ha hi grandion, railed hi fist
and knocked him down. Without di
dialing the merit of cither aide we
would jmt lay that inch a coward I of
more veluo to any country whrn out of
It, A fellow who would alrik an old
man on ucti alight provocation I a dii
grace to hli country.
Juit to how that they are a ewirt at
any of tlit "ipeedy" hone In the city,
tli animal that convey the aw 111 "cab"
about the city, got on a tear till morn
ing and went flying down the alley back
of tha court houi lu manner which
would have done credit tu any of David
llaruin' thoroughbred. For a (hurt
time it wa rather "iloppy" In that di
rection, but they onn determined a
muddy alley waan't fuit the place In
which lo make the beat time and ilowed
up and attended lo their buainei of
collecting.
The Dalle would certainly be all
right if every line of business ihowrd

of the Stanford team wa a Dalle boy,

tended the game, lay Kalph put np the
beat game on the Held, and of hlru Ihe
Orrgonian lay: "htanfurd did not

feat that no other team In the North
weit, nor even on the coait, including
the heavy Olympic!, hal been able to
accomplish hli year, that of croriing
Mulliiumah' goal line. On an Oregon
boy, though, Hill reiti that honor, for

The matter of insuring tli city'a
property wsa introduced and referred lo
the finance committee w ith Instructions
to accept the proposition of A. Seufert
to insure for three yeara, for two pay

I-eriouily the insurance bad been re

There ii still some work to be ('one
in improving Federal street, which will
amount to about -"X), and the matter
waa brought up and referred to the com
mittee on streets and public property.
After a motion by Stephens that when
the meeting adjourned they adjourn to

Ihut the taxes bad all been collected.
The claim of (3 for street commission

On motion of Johnson the matter of

Ex-Gov. Moody is all right, but be
now has a job on hi ihoulder which
we are much afraid will "link" him.
He i not the kind, however, to crosi the
"bridga" before he reaches it, and will
give himself no unnecessary concern or
cause his hair to grow any grayer there
by. In the meantime he baa "one more
river to cross," for the city council has
turned over into bis hands the job of
constructing a bridge across the
Columbia.
Quite a little merriment waa occa
sioned at the council meeting lastjnight
w hen Mayor Kuck read a communica
tion from vbridge contractor in the
F.ast to the effect that hejhad learned it
was the intention to bridge the Colum
bia at the dalles, and inquiring concern
ing the possibility of securing the con
tract. When the mayor askeJ what
should be dune with the communication,
Johnson arose and said he understood
the state legislature authorized The
Dalles to bond itself for $-50,000 to con
itruct a bridge across the Columbia nd
placed the matter in the hands of a com
mission of which 7.. F. Moody waa chair
man. He therefore moved that the
communication, aa well aa the important
matter referred to, be turned over into
the chairman' hands. Wilion amend
ed the motion by a iding, that "he be
granted power to act."
Whether or not Dallei citizen cro
the river on foot or still continue to deli-
nd on the old meant of travel, there
fore rests with Mr. Moody, whom we
are all auxioui to hear from.
