Jung.; J. W. Meldrum has demon

The ol I county bridge across the Ab
ernethy at Green's Point, presents a very
dilaindated appearance, and should by
all means be torn down. The spectacle
of this broken-down structure standing
alino-it in an improved roadway, is not
very soul inspiring to people driving into
the city limits from that direction.
The Epworth League of the M. E.
church had a pleasant picnic party at
Judge Meldrum's residence below town
last Monday evening. They went down
on the electric car, and held tlie picnic
under the shady trees surrounding the
Meldrum residence. The Judge brought
out a bai-ket of bis best peaches, which
were duly appreciated.
The change of time in the Southern
Pacific does not add to the facilities of

order that the public can get their mail
at a seasonable hour, Postmaster Green
comes down at half past six in the morn
ing, carries the mail to the office and
distributes the same. :
afraid that he would receive orders from
the council at anv time to remove the
rook oil its property ; that if he had not
received permission to dump tho rook
on these premises, he would have been
unable to have erected the building on
account of the expense involved in re
moving the rock. He further stated that
the di-xisal of the rock had caused him
some anxiety, and when Edward Kill
feather, who has the contract of build
ing the foundation of the Morey Hard
ing brick offered him the small sum of
ten cents per ereh, he thought he was
doing the proper thing in getting the
rock removed off the city's pro(erty,
but the city authorities had enjoined
Mr. Killfealher from removing the rock.
The matter was discussed pro and con
by several members ol the council, and
the fact was brought out that the contrac
tor of the Weinhard sewer had made the
citv an offer of 2) cents per perch for
the rock left on the same ground by Mr
Peters. Council men Cooke and Meldrum
both thought that Mr. Williams was en
titled lo the possession of the rock, and
the latter said that he presumed if he
was to leave bis buck hoard standing on
one of the city's lots for a vear, that the
ct until would claim ownership of the ve
hicle. Councilman Cooke thought it
would look very small on the part of the
city to claim ownership to this small
rock pile, and some of the other council
men coincided wiih the views of Coun
cilman Stevens. There was a general
discussion on the powers delegated to a
street committee and its chairman bv
the council. Mavor Straight thought
the best method of settling the owner
ship of the rock, would be to compro
mise the matter, as the city had re
ceived an offer of 25 cents per perch for
rock, they could well afford to allow Mr.
Williams 10 cents per perch lor the por
tion of rock he claimed, and thus avoid
any possible trouble that might arise.
Councilman Stevens then made a motion
that the matter be referred to the com
mittee on streets and public property
with authority to make final disposition
of the matter. A'ter some diicussion
the motion prevailed.
The mayor announced that he had re
ceived a check for ifWO from H. Wein
hard, to be used in payment of tho con
struction of the sewer through tho Wein
hard block under the direction of the
committee on streets and public prop
erty.
Counciluien Broughton, Cooke and
Meldrum were appointed a committee
to employ an attorney to bring suit
against Clackamas county, if necessary,
to recover the city's proportion of road
tax, collected by the county, amounting
to about $1,800.
The monthly session of the city coun
cil was held Wednesday evening, Mayor
Straight in the chair, and present T. VV.

police, and all the members of the coun
cil. The minutes of the last regular and
special sessions were read approved.
A petition was read, signed by Thomas
Cbarman & Son and a Dumber of other
business men, asking that the East Side

A petition was read from the fire de
partment asking the council to appro
priate $100 towards defraying the ex
penses of a running hose team at the.
Northwestern Firemen's tournament at
Vancouver early in September. On mo
tion tho prayer of the petition was

Remedy w hen three members of his fam

small bottle cured them all and he had
some left which he gave to George W.
Baker, a prominent merchant of the
place, Lewiston, N. C,, and it cured
him of the same complaint. When
troubled with dysentery, diarrhoea,
colic or cholera morbus, give this rem
edy a trial and you will be more than
pleased with the result. The praise that
naturally follows its introduction and
