road, which la lion aitanred. Mayor
Diiuick haa appointod the (ollowiiiK
comuiiUi-e: Councilmen Koerner, hcott
amJ I'owrll.
A t a led in the foreKoinir paragraph,
the meeting was a decidedly stormy
one. llie council committee on atreeia
and public property, which wa author
ized to act with the citizen' committee
in building the road, submitted a reeolu
tion, in which they defined their oppoei
lion to the road, claiming that the ex
pense ol the improvement would he out
of proportion to the benefit to be de
rived, bince no definite plan had been
adopted aa lo the manner of building
the road, and a to whether or not it
should he a grade or an underground
crotwdng, the coat of which bad tit en es
timated at Irom (5000 to $17,500. the
committee abked that the action of the
council at a previous meeting be revok
ed, and lliat lurilier action in connection
with the building of the road be held in
abeyance until a definite plan of proced-
uie coulil be decided upon. A motion
was made and aeconded that the reoiu-
tion aa prei-eiited be adopted and then
the Hotm llmt had been brewing broke
upon the tni-e'ing. Councilman Kelly
look the II mr and aeveiely ecored the
members of the cuuimiitee lor keeking in
thin way to ilt-h at or rather undo the ac
tion of the council at a regular meeting.
He di-claied that such a proceeding was
bahyixh and untiecooiing gentlemen w ho
had kwoiii to pefonn their duty and that
in the inte n'i-1 ol the people ol the entire
cilv. He declared that the opposition
to the building of the road on the prt
of the iiiemherH of the committee was
baHed on si'iliah and oeclional grounds
amne, ami that 110 reafonahle objection
hul been i ll -red to the road, btory
juinped to Ins feet and resented the per
sonal remarks of the Hiieuker. 'ibis
brought Koerner to t tie floor, who in-
shied liai Kelly bad beeu recognized
and .vcntitled to speak on the auhhtct.
All li.reo men were talking at the same
time, each emiihaHizuig his remarks by
thunderouxly beating the table with his
fist. Through the intervention of Chief
Burns and the vigoroua rapping to order
of Mayor Diiiurk, order was soon restor
ed and the dittciifbion was resumed in a
more propr parliamentary form. After
some iurtber seaking on the resolution
Mayor Dunick ruled that the same was
out of order. Sheahan moved that the
committee on streets and public property
be excuned from acting further on the
joint road committee The request was
granted and the appointment ol a spe
cial committee cf three members was or
dered. In excusing the streets and pub
ic p-operty committee from service,
Mayor Diuiick stated that he was satis
fied the committee, though opposing the
building of the road, had only what they
consideed the beat interests of the city
in mind. He regretted that members of
the council should become personal in
their remarks and question the motive
of a fellow member.
Appended is the resolution in which is
recited the reasons of the council com
mittee for opposing the building of the
road and over the consideration of which
all of the troub'e resulted :
Wnereas, at the last meeting of this
council action was taken by a vote of 4
to 'A instructing the committee on streets
and public property to proceed at the
eailiest poaaible moment to expend the
$1001) appropriated by a loriner council
and aleo the money subscribed by citi
zens on a road Irom Third Btreet to the
top of the blnff, the committee would
beg leave to submit that while they are
perhaps as anxious as any memtier of
the council '0 construct road leading in
to Oregon City, yet we have opposed the
building of this one on the rround that
the cost seems to us altogether out of
proportion to ihe benefit to be derived.
The ei-tnnates made by three mtiereni
ei'irmeers ramre in amount from $17,500
(Mr. Cunningham's) to $!'i00 under
ground and $5000 for overhead cioseing,
made by Mr. Handa this year, and even
the above estimates contemplate the im
provement of the road only to the top of
the blulf; the lowest sum is far in excess
of the amount appropriated and sub
scribed at this time, and we are therefore
unwilling to assume the responsibility
placed upon us by the recent action of
the council.
'No definite plan baa been proposed
by the council as to whether a grade
crossing shall be built or a road under
the railway track, the one extremely
dangeroos and the other very expensive.
"The simple instructions to spend the
money appropriated seems to us unbusi
nesslike and unfair both to the taxpay
ers and the citizen who have contribut
ed to the fund.
"In view of the fact that the commit
tee have no definite plans for carrying
on the work we respectfully ask that the
former instructions giverl this commit
tee be revoked and no further action be
taken until some definite plan ia decided
upon, Respectfully submitted,

J. H, Westover, chairman of the com
mittee on finance, appeared before the
council and asked tor the usual appro
priation of $150 to be offered as prizes

Inio Mt-rrlce 27.
Those who are planning their vacation
this year will be interested in knowing
that the popular excursion steamer, T.
J. Totter, queen of river boats, goes into
service June 27, and that she will leave
Portland, during the season, every day
from Tuesday until Saturday inclusive
To see the beauties of Ihe pictureaqne
and mighty Columbia from the decks of
the i'otter is a treat never to be forgot
ten. For speed and grace nothing in
riveror lake service in the entire West
equals this side wheel beauty. Five
hours from Portland and one from Asto
ria, through the famous fishing waters
of the Columbia, past score of sal moo
traps and nets and as many white-winged
fish boats, lands the pasaengera at II
waco, where close connection is madn
for beach points with trains of the II
waco Hallway & Navigation Company,
whose car stand on the wharf awaiting
the steamer. The beach is twenty-seven
miles long, two hundred yards widest
low tide, and so hard that carriage
wheels scarcely leave a mark. It Is an
ideal place for driving, riding, wheeling
or walking, and the surf bathing is un
surpassable. The excellent hotels and
boarding bouses provide good accommo
dations at prices ranging from one dol
lar to three dollars per dav.
The round-triD rate from Portland to
Astoria is $2 50; to Ocean Beach points,
$4.00, good until October 15th. On Sat
urdays, during July and August, round
trip tickets are sold to beach points at
$2.50, good for return, leaving the beach
the following Sunday evening.
The Oregon Railway A Navigation Co.
has just issued a new summer
book, free for the asking, which tells all
about the delightful resorts of the Valley
of the Columbia Hiver. This can be ob

The $10,000 damage suit of J. Y. Wil
son, of this city, against the Southern
Pacific Company, was compromised and
settled, Wednebday, the plaintiff re
ceiving $47 70.
About two years ago Wilaon waa eject
ed from the blind baggage of a train en
route to Portland in the local depot
yards add in dismounting from the train
sustained the fracture of a leg. Through
local attorneys, the injured man brought
action against the company to recover
damages in the sum of $10,000. The
first action was dismissed on a non suit
and a second proceeding was thrown out
of court on the same grounds. Wilson
has been a cripple since the accident.
The principal defense of, the railroad
company was that Wilson was attempt

The First Methodist church of this city
was reopened and rededicaled Sunday
with approoriate services. Bishoo Karl
Cranston, ol Portland, preacheu the ded
icatory sermon at the morning service.
A special service in the evening by the
Kpworth League was conducted by A.
F. Flegel, of Portland. Kev. J. K. T.
Lathrop, pastor of the First Methodist
church, of Portland, preached a sermon
Sunday night.
ihe first Methodist church in Oregon
City wa organized in 1843. In 1890 th
present church building waa erected bat
the structure haa just undergone exten
sive improvements, covering a period of
eight months, and costing approximate
ly ir.'.UUU. As remodeled the church.

While not entirely free from indebted
ness, the congregation feels that the
building will be able to discharge all ob
ligations without other aid, since the)
lower fliorof the building is occupied by
a large business firm.
bishop Cranttoo's discourse was based
on the scriptural text, "Seek Ye First
the Kingdom ef God and His Righteous
ness." The Bishop disenseed bia text
along the line of good citizenship, and
contrasted the ideal American citizen
with the good citizen in Christ's king
dom. As a model citizen In any conn
try must understand the structural form
of the government and laws of his native
land, obey those laws, contribute his
share of the cost of maintaining good
government, love and defend the fi ig of
his country, so must the ideal citizen in
Christ's kingdom be enrolled on the
church roll, learn the nature of God's
kingdom, leain his laws, pay dues into
the kingdom and at all times be loyal to
the flig, the svmbol of his beliet. In
the course of his remarks, Bishop Cran
ston averted that the expenditure of
$o00,0O0 for missions in the Sandwich
Islands so transformed conditions there
that the annexation of the Islands was
deemed expedient by the Cnited states.
The speaker urged the supplanting of
the military by ihe missionary a a more
direct and satisfactory means of civiliz
ing foreign peoples and giving them their
proper piace in the commercial world.
The speaker recommended the placing of
1000 missionaries in China, and said
that if such a thing should be done., it
would not be long until the ships that
would be required to handle the com
merce between this country and China
would be so numerous that they would
never be ont of sight of each other on
the broad expanse of the Pacific ocean.
