If some iconic were to he yiven tun dollar tfold pieces, fresh from the mint, they would question their genuineness, nnd kick because they were not double eagles. The Wcyerhati.sor Co. has decided to locate here, of itself a hlg thing, n gigantic enterprise, but, of course, there had to be some kick about it. The one most prominent is to the effect that this big addition to our Industrial enterprises will not be of much benefit to this city because the company runs its own stores. This is incorrect; the Weyerhatiser Co. do not run "company stores, ' nor deal in any kind of commodities necessary for living. The company has nil it can do to run its mam moth lumber manufacturing busi ness, and has no time for the mer cantile business. We nre assured by men who have been connected with this company font number ol years that any fear along this line is entirely unwarranted nnd ground less. r WHAT IT MUANS. rants shall be issued for any pur pose, except ajainst special assess ment funds, unless the money is in the treasury to pay such warrant. At the last meeting of the council a resolution was adopted appropri ating money! for certain purposes, for which no special assessment funds had been provided. War rants were ordered drawn for $2, 2oo and $1700 respectively. The objects for which the war rants were ordered drawn arc com mendable ones; things the city needs and must have, but wc must confine ourselves to the require ments of the charter and follow it strictly in letter a well as in spirit. Tho charter declares that all ac tion taken by the council, contrary to its provisions, shall he null and void. To remedy this action of the council a special assessment should be made at once, and the money se cured for the purposes for which it was intended. This will obviate all trouble in the matter, nnd en able the city to make the desired im provements nnd still fulfill the let ter of the law. C. renrcsentintr M. A. A.

Another flash of the cap tain's real ability was shown when, in the second heat of 50-yard dash, he won from Oscar Kerrigan in the record time of .5 .v seconds, which feat breaks the Pacific coast indoor record.
