The Women Relief Corps of Meade Poet have changed their meeting night and hereafter they will meet at the K. oi P. hall at 7 :30 o'clock on the first and third Tuesday evenings of each month. The Willamette Pulp & Paper com pany is planning to put in several new grinders of the most approved pattern which will enable them to do the work cheaper than heretofore. Mrs. H. Cochrane took the overland train for California Wednesday evening, intending to visit for a couple of months or so with her daughter, Mrs. J. B. Rob inson, and friends in and about San Francisco. Capt. A. B. Graham and C. G. Ilunt of this city, and Henry Lambert of Port land, left up the river on Thursday on the Altona to go up as far as Independ ence, intending to leturn in a skiff hunting on their way down. They think they are in for a pleasant trip. The continual succession of boils, pimples, and eruptions from which many suffer, indicates an impure stale of the blood. The most effective remedy is Ayer's Sareaprilla. It expels the poison harmlessly through the natural channels, and leaves the skin clean and clear. You will miss the opportunity of the winter if you do not attend the "Hard times party" to be given at the armory on the evening of the.lDthby the Wil lamette Silver Cornet band.

Ixxik out for the parade about noon on Friday. Have you noticed the improvement at the west end of the suspension bridge in the shape of a grate? It relieves the bridge plank of a whole lot of mud and slop, but a great deal of mud still falls from the wheels when they first strike the bridge and when it rains it is not pleasant walking there. Several have suggested that it would be a good plan for the county conrt to have that end of tbe planking cleared occasionally and the suggestion seems an eminently good one as the plank will last much longer if kept tree Iroru curt. WHO IS THE CHIEF? 1NTF.KKST1NU SESSIONS OF TIIK CITY DADS THE AITOISTEKS. Mayor and Council at Onla Orer Chief of Police Other Appolalmenla Confirmed. The meeting of the city council on Fri day evening, the regular session having adjourned to that date on account of the sickness of Mayor Straight, was attended by all officers and councilmen as well as by a large number of citiaena who de sired to witness the doings of the coun cil patticularly in the matter of the mayor's appointments. The reading of the minutes was dispensed with and the council settled dowu to routine business among which was the appointment of committees (or the current year as fol lows: Finance Kelly, Stevens and Jaggar. Fire and Water Cooke, Albright and Broughton. Streets and Public Property Stevens, Broughton and Howell. Health and Police Greenman, Kelly and Howell. The mayor apiointed S. R. Green, chief of police and upon the vote of con firmation Councilman Cooke insisted upon the ayes and noes being called much to the delight of spectators and it is said to the disgust of some of the coun cil. The mayor sustained bis demand , w )e wuncii was lmlled with the fol lowing result : Ayes, Cooke, Greenman, and Howell ; noes, Stevens, Kelly, Al bright, Broughton and Jaggar. E. F. Driggs being nominated for city attorney was confirmed, all members of the council voting ay except Stevens who voted no. D. W. Kinnaird was nominated for city engineer and confirmed by the unan imous vote of the council. M. E, Willoughby being nominated for Btreet commissioner Cooke voted aye and other members of the council no. John lliitton being nominated for the position his confirmation was rejected, all members of the council voting no except Albright who voted aye. The mayor nominated C. E. Burns for chief of police. Albright, Kelly, Stevens and Broughton voted aye; Jag gar, Cooke, Greenman, and Howell voted no, so the mayor declared the nomination not confirmed. D. E. Fheppard being nominated for niuht watch Cooke, Greenman and Howell voted aye, all other members no, bo his nomination was not confirmed. A numerously signed petition pre sented by John Kelly asking for his re tention as night watch was ordered on file by the mayor. A petition signed by merchants of the city asking that the license for running freight cars upon the electric line be re duced to 100 per annum was referred to the committee on finance. A motion prevailed transferring a1 moneys in the Seventh street fund to the general fund, there being no further need of carrying that fund . The propo sition was considered and agreed to of submitting to the contesting property owners ol Seventh street the proposition to submit the facts relative to the Seventh street case to Judge McBride and to abiue by his decision concerning the payment of interest upon assess ments held in abeyance by the suit re cently decided. Ordinances were introduced fixing tbe levy for city purjioses at 5 mills on the i deemed it not just for him to be held lin dollar; fixing the salary of the chief of ble under the circumstances. The mat- police at $5 per month ; fixing the salary of the city recorder at $25 per month, all of which were ordered published and set for final passag on the 19th i of this month A resolution was adopttd directing the city engineer to turn over to his succes sor all estimates, accounts, plats and statements of expenses ertaining to the Fifth and Main street improvements. It was also decided to require the city en gineer to give bonds in the sum of $.000. The mavor and city recorder were authorized to enter into contract with the Portland General Electric company for lights for street purposes for the com ing year but before doing so to endeavor to secure as low rates for lighting as are given to Portland. The council then ad journed to meet on the 9th inst . DOINGS AT ADJOURNKI) SKSSION. The mayor being absent at the hour of meeting the council proceeded to elect H. L. Kelly, president of that body for the current year as provided by the char ter. The minutes of the regular and special meetings in December were read and approved after which a communica tion from the bondsmen of Hamshaw & Behm, contractors for the improvement of Main street, was read sanctioning the extension of time allowed for the comple tion of the contract and agreeing to the continuation of their obligation to the 1st of July, 1894. The Oregon City Manufacturing com pany presented a petition stating that the competition in the manufacture of aoap was very great and that in order to meet it successfully they required the lowest possible freight rates to Portland, their principal shipping point. They had been assured of satisfactory rates by tbe East Side company if they could run a switch from the main track along Fourth street into their yard and asked for permission to do this stating J that it would greatly increase their bus- j Iness and add to the number of persons employed In their works. Counciman Stevens moved that the petition be not granted but as his motion was not sec onded it was on motion of Broughton icferred to the committee on streets and public property. The petition of Jas. Henley asking for abatement of his main street assessment which had been in the hands of th com mittee on streets and public property was reported back with the recommenda tion that it be not graiitcd. Jus. Thome asked to address the council in behalf of Mr. Henley's petition and being granted permission urged as the principal reason why it should U granted that Mr. Heuly owned no abutting prop erty on Main street, his holding being the east half of blocks seven and eight in the block. The report of the com mittee was adopted. The bill of Wyclitl'e, the contractor (or the lower Main street trestle for extras, was referred back for him to ex plain to the city engineer. The bill of Welch A Zimmerman for $14 for overhauling and clean!. ig catch basins was referred back to them for explanation and the O. K. of the city engineer. The bill of the Portland Restaurant for "Meals furnished to date," it being for meals furnished tramps upon the order of the chief of police and a coun cilman was not paid as it was thought to he establishing a bad precedent. Cooke and Albright voted aye on this bill, the other councilmen no. In reporting upon the bills presented the finance committee recommended that hereafter no salary be paid ap pointive officers for services covering such time as they should serve prior to confirmation. As the report was adopted it carried with it this recommendation of the committee. Councilman Jaggar moved that the services of the second night watch be dispensed with, which motion oc casioned the inquiry as to whom the motion applied. The motion was then changed to one informing the mayor that the council deemed the services of a second night watch as unnecessary and in that form passed. Councilman Stevens introduced an or dinance intended to take the place of two introduced on Friday evening rela ting to the pay of the recorder ami chief of police. It provides that the recorder shall receive for his services $25 per month and such fees as his recorder's court may bring and that the chief of police receive $5 per month and such fees as he may earn as constable, which his office makes him. Cooke moved to strikeout the section applying to the chief of police but his motion not being seconded the ordinance was ordered published to come up for final passage on the ltUh. The city assessor ami collector was in structed to work in conjunction with the city attorney and finance committee in all matters pertaining to the collection by st-ess of street assessments, warrants for which hava just been issued by the recorder. H. E Cross made a verbal statement to the council to the effect that he hail not been permitted to finish his con tract upon the trestle at the Congrega tional church owing to the gradings not being completed at the south end, anil that under his bonds (or the contract he was still held for damages which in his opinion were likely to result from the insufficient barrier erected. He ter was referred to the committee on streets and public property . The Columbia Hook A Ladder Co. asked the council to enlarge their room at the expense of the city. Councilman fireenman thought it should be done, while Councilmen Albright and Cook thought the city could not afford to do it at this time. The matter was referred to the committee on streets and public property with power to act The mayor sent in the nomination of 1 C. C. Balx:ock for street commissioner and it was promptly confirmed by the unanimous vote of the council. David Caulield was nominated for chief of police and the nomination was rejected by a vote of five to three. The report of the assessor and collec tor for the year was ordered on file. The following bills were reported fav orably by the finance committee and warrants ordered drawn for the several amounts: C Hoberg, salary $ 50 00 " " pay roll 100 00 F 8 Kelly, treasurer 50 00 Wilson & Cooke 5 90 C N Greenman 1 00 Mrs G W Church 8 00 Entkkfrisk 18 00 J 8 Purdom 75 00 8 R Green ... 12 50 L L Porter .'5 00 ' PG ElecCo 172 45 Pope & Co 10 00 Geo Broughton 102 58 L A Nobel 40 II L Moody 2 50 John Kelly 70 00 8idney Smyth 13 00 D E Sheppard CO 00 MAIN STREET FUND Sidney Smyth $ 5 00 II E Cross 527 75 II Cochrane 18 75 The city treasurer made the following report which was found correct by thu finance committee, and ordered oil tile: GF.NKUA1.
