The matter aa thoroughly gone over and the con ceniue of opinion eermed to be in favor ol a reduction. Oregon City merchant oo pay "5 cents for each 10 candle power Incadrnent light.

A committee compoaed of Meetr. Huntley, Ely and Harria waa appointed to ranvaae the butinea booee and pro pound to each merchant the following qoeation: "If tbe price of each light waa placed at 60 or 40 cents, how many would you burn?" By this method they eipect to aacertalo tbe number of lights which would be od In tbe city under the proposed redact ion and ahow to tbe company that 'its revenue. Instead of being dimlnUbed woold be Increased. It Is also reasonable to suppose with a lower rate many residence would oe electricity. The town would therefore be more brilliantly lighted. The early closing movement was die cufsv d st some length. All of the mer chants In tli city are now members of , the association except Selling's and Yakeda's. These two stores have so fsr withheld their consent to the sgreement to clone at 8 o'clock and strong efforts ' are being made to have them come into line, ae other bouaes which carry the same line of goods are naturally deeiriona that theee (tores should affiliate with tbe association. It i expected that in a short time the drug storee will get together and arrange for a closing hour that will be satisfactory to all of them. Y. It. C A. Note. .

Mllwaukie la greatly wonted over the prospect of the removal of the earihopa of the Portland City A Oregon Hallway Company, A ell atter.ded meeting was held and the sentiment wss In fsvor of the retention of the shope U possible. John Gibaon called the meeting to order and called for nomination: for chairman. Jobn Oibaon wae elected secretsry. Tbe orgsnlMtlon was Anally called "The Mil- wsukle Improvement Aaaociatioo." Mr. Lecler made a statement In which be ssld that he bad Interviewed Msnsger Horlburt concerning the removal of tbe bop. The msnsger informed him that tbe company bad not recieved lair treat ment In getting property for changing tbe track so as to svold the trestle. lie alao claimed that 8ellwood bad offered a bonus of I wo scree for a site end $1,000 cash to move the shops there. He stated that certain people in Milwsokie were working again! tit company and noth ing wonld be done until the 25th of the month. Mr. Gibaon ststed that If the car shope were removed it would be the fsult of tbe Milwsukie people. One thine com plained was that there was do place for the employes to live. It waa too small a town. After an extended dicuioo a committee composed of M oners Gibson, Lecler and Stribe wss appointed to as certain just what tbe company wanted. After further discussion of needed im provements the meeting adjourned for two weeks. lie Emergency and Ike Ian. Tbe labor trouble of the present year have developed soms onsxpecfed things to both employers and employed things that are deserving of amicable and fair conalderation by both side to labor con troversies and which are as the "(acts'' ol Sairey Gsmp. those "stobborn things not essy drove." One marked effect of tbe machinists' was noticed in the factory oi the Ameri can Graphopbone Company, at Bridge port Connecticut, a concern whoae aa oual product rone Into the millions snd whose methods of manufacturing are thoroughly oo to date. As a result of tbe disaffection among their workmen, tbie company foood it necessary to cloe one of he most Important departmenta. Operations were suspended for a fort night but during that time it was once more demonstrated that necessity is tbe parent of invention, and special ma chinery, designed by ingreious men. was quickly supplied through tbe use of which one msn was enabled to do the work of three, then lour, and finally nine machinists. The result of this was that the Special machinery evolved under stress of circumstances, and wbicb might never have been forthcom ing under ordinary conditions, was operating so effectively, long before the strike was over, that the need of many of the former employes bad ceased to exist. Consequently, while the feeling to word the men who have been absent for several weeks was of tbe most kindly character, and they were received with out prejudice, it wss out of tbe question to take back more tban a fraction of them when they were ready for duty. This condition applied in a lesser degree in other departments of the same factory, the obvious lessons of which is that whether the grievance which im pels men to leave their work be real or fancied, their action undoubtedly . brings on an emergency which is full of dangers. While in other countries an economic upheavel.such a a strike, may so dishearten and embarrass manufac turers as to force them to yield, at least sufficiently to 'jQWt a compromise, the occasion, in this country, seems simply to arouse the latent ingenuity of me chanics with the result that has been done in one wsy is accomplished in an other and usually with fewer men. In every crisis in history tbe occasion pro duced the man who was needed lor the emergency, and in the same way, In the United States at least, the factoties de velop with unfailing certainty men who were evidently created to lead tbe way out of emergencies and whose ultimate ingenuity is not realized, even by them selves, until the problem to be solved is suddenly presented.

Judge Aitksn, of the Supreme Court of Union County, Las decided that tbe cura tive portion of the act of l'JOl, relating to the sale of real eUe heretofore bid la by counties for delinquent taxes is un constitutional. In one ce the land was not assessed to the owner and was included with other property and tbe tsx carried out in a lump sum, and the court says these two defects are fatal and necessarily render the assessment void, being jurisdictional and not affected by tbe corative act of l'JOl. In the other esse, the court says the sufficiency of the complaint will largely depend opoo tbe validity of tbe act of 1901, pge 71, which act is amendatory of an act of 1803, page 27, entitled "to auth orize County Judge and clerks of school districts to bid in property sold for tsxee." Whether that title would be sufficient to authorize tbe LegiaUtuie also to provide for the sale and convey ance by the county may be questionable, but'tbe court thinks it might pteioly in clude it. But the act of 1901 has also aa additional element, that of curing delect in lite assesement and sale if laud, the title being "To amend an act entitled an act to authorize County Judges and clerks of school districts to bid in prop erty sold for taxes, approved Feb(ury 20, 1803, and to provide for the sale of the same." Tbe court is clearly of the opinion that the corative part of th!s statute is wholly beyond and outside of the title of tbe act and is entirely differ ent matter; that the title is not broad enough to include it ; that that part of the act woold be void ; and that without this curative part of the act tbe whole proceeding of tbe sale Is void, if there were no return by the Sheriff of the de linquent tax list aa provided by law aa a basis nffoo wblcb the warrant could issue. The court is also of tbe opinion that the Legislature cannot by a curative act dispense with tbe regularity of a warrant under a statute providing for tbe same, as such warrant is jurisdictional ; Di-iiUr can It provide for some other form of warrant to have ex post facto effect. Tbe asseesment being jurisdictional, the court also bolds that a retroactive statute can not change it. SPECIAL fOUSCIL MEETLMj 5ew Ciment Sidewalk Te Oe Uui t ea Mala Street. The city council met in special se-sion Last evening and authorised the commit tee on streets and public property to place a cement walk and steps in front of the c'-ty ball, to adjoin ths new cement wllc wtiich the owoere of the dew Sir at ton building will put In.

Tbe council approved the contract with the Portland General Electric Company for etreet lighting. A proposition to place the public park on the bill in condition for baseball grounds for the school children was referred to the committee on streets and public property. Laud Office Derision.
