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.

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.

A Toilet Water.
A good toilet water may be made In
the following way: Take six ounces of
deodorized alcohol nnd fwo ounces of
powdered Florentine orris root Put
the powder In a china basin and pour
the liquid on gradually until the whole
is well mixed. Then add six drops of
essential oil of violets, nnd pour the
whole Into n Isittle and cork It.
This should le kept three weeks.
Wheif It Is wanted, a little of the fra
grant water should be poured Into the
bath.
It's Good For Insomnia.
An eutlre milk diet is an excellent
thing for the woman who is troubled
with Insomnia. 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

diaries Kingsley.
"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."

To this he later added that the In

what "he did for me" and tbtt "It
was partly through his Influence that
I got the options."
