Tlfb city council met In" regular session last night and several mat ters of importance wero discussed, ono of the most important being; the paving in West Kosoburg from Oak street bridge to the city llmltf to connect with the paving to be laid by tho county from the city limits to tho soldiers homo. While no dorm Ite action was taken In the matter it Is likely that the council will go ahead with the matter of paving on the west sido the cost of the same to be borno by the property own ers, whose property abutls the pave ment. A letter was read which .Mayor Bice had received from O. T. Lar sen, manager of the Roseburg Sand & Gravel Company, regarding dis counts to be allowed on sand used on city streets. The letter stated that the city was being charged the same amount for the same grado of material as was charged other cus tomers, and suggested buying in car load lots which could be had at $1.00 per cubic yard f. o. b., the expense of the car nnd freight being 37 cents additional. The matter was referred to the street committee with power to act. A communication from Street Commissioner J. M. Sharp, of Boise, Idaho, regarding a. motor driven stroot sweeper stated that they had been using an Elgin sweeper and wore finding It very much cheaper tiian UBlng horses, the cost being but twolvo cents with motor against thirty-one cents on the thousand square yards with the use of horses, tills price, including gasolino, oil, repairs, supplies, broomB, deprecia tion, disposal of sweeping etc. The cost of tho Bwecper is (4,000. No action was taken upon the matter. The committee appointed to in quire into the matter of making a test case In one suit of the Block A Bower question, In Flints Addition as was requested by Attorney B. I.. Eddy, In behalf of tho property owners effected, was unable to make Its report lost night, owing to the absence from tho city of a part of the committee. The applications of A. Mahoney, Geo. S. Trnpalls, E. J. Fenton and F. H. Smith for motor bus licenses were read and a motion made to al low them"' all. After considerable discussion upon the part of the coun cil, a voto was taken and the license allowed, with Councilman Nichols dissenting. The special committee to inquire Into tho question of the motor bus license application of George Mccul loch, referred tho matter back to the council without recommendation. A voto of the council was taken and tho license granted. Tho matter of people hauling for hlro, and not having license waB dis cussed at considerable length, Coun cilman Croason stating that he know It was being dono blut that tho per sons telling him they had paid such drivers, did not wish to appear agalnHt them. The matter will prob nbly bo given a thorough Investiga tion. Tho report of D. R. Shnmhronk, supervisor of district No. 14, was re celved. The action of the recorder In pay ing billB for freight on asphalt UBed by city and for hay purchased was ratified by the council. LAXfXillANTTA.YKS. District Attorney Geo. Keu- ncr today received information regarding the O. & C. railroad land taxes, which have so far held back tho land in the oiig- inal grant from being opened to settlemeot, or at least have largely contributed to the prs- ent delay. The department of the interior, advised by the United States attorney general admits that the amount of taxes duo at the time of rein- vestment ofytltle by the gov- eminent, totalling i270,0uu, Is legitimate and should be paid. The amount of penalty and In- torest accruing since June , 1916, amounting to 172,000. is the bone of .contention, but the government stipulates that the couuty may accept the taxes due at time or reinvestment and later institute action to discover the legality of tho claim for interest and penalty. A settlement on this basis is probable. held at the Moose hall and the entire countryside was In attendance. Many flowers adorned the casket and the citizens extended their sympathies to relatives and heart-broken wife. Mrs. Blakomore, who has been at tho home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. F. Patterson, for the past week, in compliance with the lettor received yesterday, left last nigh; for Seattle to await the arrival of the body of her husband from Craig which is expected in the next few dayB. Relatives of the unfortunate man who have been notified' are ex pected to arrive in Seattle, and the final funeral arrangements will be made and In all probability the body will be burled there.

SEAM According to a letter received yes terday by Mrs. Hazel Hlakemore, her husband, F, M. Hlakemore'B death was dMo to him having fallen from a boat while on a fishing trip near (rnlg, Alaska, about two woeks ago. At tho time the accident happened other fishermen were nearby and the body was soou rocovered from the Icy waters and everything possible was done to restore life. The body was first taken to Steamboat Bay and a doctor sent for. Everyone worked heroically to revive the unfortunate man but to no avail. Mr. Jones, a partner of Mr. lllnketnore, wanted to have the body taken to Wrangel, but no boat was available at that time and this procedure had to he abandoned. The doctor then em balmed the body and the funeral was A wedding of interest to Roseburg foHf. was that .pf Miss Hazel Good man, daughter of Mrs. S. H. Good man, of Tomplin street, and A. Roy Kilduff, of Portland. The ceremony occurred Monday, August 13, at Sa lem, Ore., Justice of the Peace Dan iel Webster officiating and the youus' couple were attended by their close friends. An amusing Incident of the affair was related this morning by Mrs. KllilufI in which she tells of the many delays before the words "I pronounce you man and wife" were spoken. It seems that the minis ters of Salem are universally enjoy ing their vncations and it is alniCHt impossible to discover a clergyman In the whole city. Mr. Kilduff and Miss Goodman started early in the morning to the minister's but upon arriving found a notice on the par sonage door stating that the clergy man was absent from the city. Late in the afternoon the hunt was given up in despair and a justice of the peace was visited. Another coinplt- cation arose Miss Goodman being under age it was required that she get the consent of her mother. This being Impossible Miss Goodman swore that she was a resident of the county and the last obstacle was pushed aside- and the happy young couple were at last pronounced "man and wife. Mrs. Kilduff arrived last evening from Portland and will visit with her mother until late in the month. when she will be joined by her hus band'. Mr. Kilduff Is an employ of the Standard Oil Co. and Is traveling agent for the Oregon-Washington territory, with headquarters in Port land. Mr. and Mrs. Kildiuft will malto their home In Portland. EXTRA FANCY PEARS FROM HARDING PLACE A box of extra fancy Bartlett pears, from- the orchard at Winston belonging to Mrs. W. C. Harding, adorna the show window of The Ev ening News today. Just how long that box of fruit remains on display will depend on the length of time it takes 'em to mellow up. But tho fruit is worthy of note as boing n product of the Umpqua Valley, and is of a quality surpassed by no sec tion of the state. In fact, experts pronounce "the fruit practically matchless from the standpoint of per fartlon, smooth and even, nicely colored on ono side, these Bartletts are indeed beautiful specimens of that peerless variety. The packing is a piece of artistic work, and wus done by Floyd Wilson. The orchard management is under John Sinclair. Absolutely free from blight or dis ease, these peara are a demonstra tion of fruit growing that la worth white nnd may be accomplished by any ono exercising care. !T- CASE IS County Judge Marsters today re ceived testimony in regard to the pe tition filed some time ago for the re moval of Mrs. Eber Wright as admin istratrix of the estate of Eber Wright, dceased, the petitioners ar guing that this court bad no jurisdic tion in the appointment of Mrs. Wright.
