Mr. Tooie ask ed that the vote be made unanimous. Councilman Heard aald that there was no work for Street Inspector Hurk and made a motion that he be dismiss ed. Mr. Morton. In defense of Mr. Hurk. an Id that he worked each day from early In the mornliiR until late at night, and that there was a great deal of work for him to do. It was a saving to the city, be said, to retain Mr. Hurk. Mayor Dlmtrk ruled this motion out of order, explaining that a resolution had been adopted by the council giving the committee on streets and public property power to act. and that It was not In the hands of the council as a whole unless the resolution be withdrawn. Mr. Heard withdrew his motion. The Portland Railway. Light & Tow er Company must pay to Oregon City $1000 a year for its freight business, as provided In Section 10 of the freight franchise which passed Its first reading at a meeting of the city roiinrll Wednesday evening. The agreement was not reached until the proposition had been thoroughly dii cusced. K. T.

EXPENSE BILL IS 1 CUT BY CONGRESS Milady's JWirror i in bv luforming members of the city council that the railway company did a great number of things which wtre a direct benefit to the city. He said that only Wednesday the city council of Portland bad given a franchise to the Southern Tactile Company to op erate trains on a double track on Fourth Street and the compensation to Portland would be 12.000 a year. This railway would operate. Mr. Grif fith said, on the entire lenth of Kourtli Street The council of Oregon City Is ask ing the company which 1 represent to pay for a short term franchise, more than any public service company pays In the State of Oregon or the State of Washington and I think on the entire Pacific coast," said Mr. Griffith. "This charge would be an unjust burden to the company. Councilman Beard said be had at all tim?s held that the charge should be a certain sum, and objected to the percentage charge. He then made a motion that the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company pay 11.000 a year, payable J250 a quarter, in ad-1 vance. Councilman Albright said that he wished to deal fairly with the com pany and the people. He said that Oregon City wanted lower freight and passenger rates, and it did not seem fair that the council should charge such a high rate. If the same charge or a higher charge were made else where, he Bald It would be different, but under the present conditions he felt that 3 1-2 per cent would be un fair to the company. He said that he was in facor of a compromiso and would ask that the company pay J9o0 a year, payable quarterly In advance. F. J. Meyer said that he was In fav or of a flat and not the percentage system. Councilman Horton held that the percentage system was fair to both company and the city. He said that the representatives of the company were looking after the company's In terests, and he thought that th.- city's representatives should look aft,-r the Interests of the city. Councilman Beard was not looking after the railway's interest, he said, and was not interested in the com pany. He said however, that this was like" a contract and that they should meet the company in all fairness, and try to come to an agreement. Mr Tooze said that Mr GHfTUh had said early in the evening that should the 3 1-2 per cent clausj pass, the railway company would be forced to raise the freight rates or suffer an un just burden. He pointed out that there was a railway commission, and that It would finally aCJus: the rates, and that the commission would figure the rates on a pereentaKe basis, hence the charge should be made on a per centage basis. He said ihat he v, as in favor of charging the railway com pany In the neighborhood of SJO'10, but wanted it on a percentage basis. Councilman Pope na'.d tint f'.ir sev eral days he had canvassel the mer chants of Oregon City, asking their opinion regarding th! charge. H3 said that with the exception of two, they were In favor of a flat rate. Mr. Griffith explained that after a compensation had been agreed upon, at the next meeting of the council, the council could pass. an ordinance assessing the railway company any 134. 000,000. The president's salary remains at $75,000, and that of the president s secretary 16000. The committee elim inated a provision providing that fu ture ex-presidents be made congress-men-at large, with a salary of 117,500. No appropriation was provided for the commerce court, the mint at Car son City, Nev.. the assay offices at ltoise, Idaho, Salt Lake. Helena or Charlotte. N. C. fhe bill provides that hereafter congressmen will 'get an allowance of $125 a month for a secretary. It requires that the clerk of the house pay these secretaries directly. The Crab as a Fisherman. The crab sometimes catches a dsn, snd It catches it without hook and line. It lies In wait, perhaps In some creek, with its jaws exteuded In front and open. Perhaps a school of klllles comes along, and It mny be that a killle on the outskirts of the school may swim un--iisvtltigly along through the clear water between the upper and lower parts of one of the motionless open claws of the crab. When it Is well within them the claw suddenly snaps together and that particular little kllUa goes no farther. Growth of Rocks. Rooks do tint grow In the sense that a plant grows.

A Little Beauty Talk. Headache Is often the result of In digestion. No wuinu ii, however ei'foct of feature, can Ih truly beautiful when a rucking pain draws her face full of line lines and dulls the expression of the eyes. The next time you lire suffering with headache try drinking a half glass of cold water Into which have becu put the Juice of half a lemon and a half trasHHnful of soda. The drink Is not unpleasant, and lu many cases It brings almost Immediate relief. A woman whose hair Is always soft and glistening has disclosed the secret of her attractive coiffure. She buys package of absorbent oottou from the druggist. Next she strliw a layer from It aud places the layer over the bristles of a wire lialr brush, pushing It well down until the bristles pene trate the cotton, which should He close to the back of the brush. Thou she strokes the hatr, bcgtunlnR near the scalp and giving a vigorous stroke to the ends. A few of these firm strokes will reveal how large a quantity of dust and smoke can he taken up by the cotton, the result Mug the same as the cold cream batb to the face at the end of the day. Just as cold cream leaves the face bright and fresh, the cotton brushing leaves the hair with a brilliant sheen snd a natural Anilines. The cotton stroke should be admin istered every night Just before retiring, an open window being the Ideal place for the beautifying process. Kvery woman has knowu the misery of needing n shampoo after a Journey f and not being able to have It at once I because of lack of facilities. The hot I and cold water mny to handy, but not ! the shampoo medium. So prepare this before you leave home and carry it along In a tightly stoppered bottle a three ounce vial will do. Boll castile soap shaved to a ponder, snout two neaping teaspoonnils In a little water, putting In about two salt spoonfuls of washing soda. When get ting ready to wash the hair, massage a wee bit of cold cream into the sonlp. then slightly wet the hair and work In the scalp Jelly or liquid-luto the scalp, of course. Rinse as usual, trying to keep the successive waters at an even tempera-ture.- It Is the sudden change from hot to cold water that make the hair harsh, as It is so often found to be after the most careful shampoo. The reason given by beauty people for boiling the soap used In shampoos is that this preparation makes it still more bland. If the hard cake Ls rubbed directly upon the hair It ls bound to be harsh and less bright than If the bead is washed by a regularly prepared soap as directed.

Toothbrush Wisdom. Tooth powders containing charcoal have the effect of whitening the teeth as well as purifying the breath. An ex cellent Idea ls to rub a little dry char roal powder Into the crevices between the teeth-upon retiring at ulght, then brush it away In the morning. Char coal absorbs nil Impurities, either solid or gaseous. leaving the teeth white and glistening and the gums clean aud rosy. Any stray particles of charcoal that might be carried Into the stomach would act as an aid to digestion rather than as a detriment. Bicarbonate of soda (common baking soda) has much the same effect, being a benefit botb to the teeth and to the stomach. The fin Machine.

It Is also good for the one who Is so nervous that when she does go to sleep she has the sensation of falling and wakes with a terrific start. When these conditions exist It Is well to subsist on milk alone for s'iiiii. time A grown woman should tl: a pint of milk as a meal, but to Icep her strength she should take four l i- i!s a clay Instead of the usual three prc-.tice TKn Stunt For Grace.

"Miss Kldrldgo," said Mr. Tourtclotte, MI have called on a matter of great Im portunes to me; whether It Is of any Importance whatever to you remains to be seen. You remember we met but a month n pi on a yachting party; that I chatted with you cusuully on (hat occasion; that you graciously permitted me to call upon you; that I have seen you since that first meeting perhaps n doseu (lines. During (hose meetings II has becu but natural (hat I should take inline to conceal my faults; that I should wish to appear to you In as favorable a light ns possible. You can have gained only n auKrtl,ial knowl edge of my character. I may be strong or weak, generous or mean, well (mined or pas.lonate, but you do not know which of those traits I pocs. "Nevertheless I have come (o nl you to be uiy wife. Why I hue done so. premising my Invitation by calling your attention to your monger knowledge of I me. i win rxpiuin III a row wonia. I do not believe that. howeverV long a man Is acquainted with a woman or vice versa, the one can loam (he other's good or bad qualities. To discover this they must have been married some time. "Furthermore, I have observed that friendship rarely brings love. The sex es mate through, a mysterious drawing together under the Influence of whal we call love, and all the world knows that love Is blind. I therefore ask you to take (he leap with me In the dark," After this extremely well poised proposition Mr. Tourtclotte took out his handkerchief, drew It across bis mouth-with no puriswe that was ap' parent-put It again In Ills pocket and awaited MUw Kldrtdge's reply with his eyes fixed on the celling. Miss Kldrldge preferred looking on the floor; from which some women scorning men would Infer that the male aspires while the female grovels. "I assure you. Mr. Tourtclotte," re plied the ImiIv, "that I appreciate am deeply touched by the compliment you pay me. I inn not surprised that one of your age should look Uxn marriage as a leap In the dark. I have always myself considered It so, and porhaps that Is the reason w hy 1 am approach ing middle age without having mnrrled' Like you, I am somewhat analytical. While I see In man a great deal that Is noble, I also perceive n great deal that a woman cannot admire. Till the twentieth century It has been bis province to lie a master to his wife. It is only recently that brides are re fusing to use the word -ol ej" In the marriage service. Then, too. a woman has no assurance when she marries that she will be gently treated. Our forefathers who lived In the middle ages considered women as their In feriors. In some barbarous lands to day girl children are made away with. Among the Turks It Is still a disputed point among the men whether we have soula"- Pardon me." Mr. Tourtclotte Inter rupted, the lady becoming more and more wrought up with these growing Injustices. "Our men In America are not descended from these semkivlllzod races: we are even more considerate of our women than our CaucnKslnn breth ren In Euroe. Neither the (iennans nor the English have the reputation for consideration of women that we have In America." "Pray excuse me, the wrongs our sex have suffered for centuries led me somewhat further from the mntter that pertains to you nnd me alone thnn I bad Intended. 1 will return to It I propose a trial engagement for six mouths. I will agree to show myself to you Just as I am at home; you to pledge yourself to do the same In your own case." "Did I not say that we can never really know each other without having lived together ns man nnd wife?" "In that case." said Miss Kldrldge decidedly, "I see no hoie for marriage In our rase. I cannot consent to wed lock with a mnn who for aught I know may turn out to be a villain, who mny maltreat me. and for whom love may turn to" "I regret your decision, though I cannot commend It's common sense. I would rather have given you an oppor tunity to know me better, but I have not the time. Tomorrow I go to China to engage In business. I hoped to take you with me. My disappointment Is very great." An Impressive silence followed "Must you go so soon?" she asked. "I could not possibly remain over for a single day." Another Impressive silence. "It Is n terrible risk." Terrible." "I know yon are a gentleman, and I think yon must be a" good man." "Ton are not certain." "I thlnk" "Tou think?" "I'll risk It" The next morning at 7 o'clock there was a wpdillng. and th bridal pair sailed at'10. When the two were on the ooeBn an other dialogue occurred. The husband said: "How. wllh all your misgivings ss to men generally snd one you thought of marrying In particular, could yon so suddenly take the leap Id the dark?" "Firstly. It Is the only condition un der which I could mnrry at all: snd secondly. I think tnldng s risk, after all. Is rathr nice."
