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.

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.

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

Kilduff, of Portland. The ceremony
occurred Monday, August 13, at Sa

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

Mrs. Kilduff arrived last evening
from Portland and will visit with
her mother until late in the month.

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.
