Mayor Rowc expressed his intention of signing it as soon as he had looked over it, and J500 was appropriated to pay for license tags, and the license committee was authorized to purchase them and have them ready by Septem ber X. The license committee submitted the following report, which -was uaopted: "Your committee on licenses beg leave to report that we have had under consid eration the ordinance passed by your honorable body August 1, WOO, with a view to so adjust the amount of license tax as to equitably conform to the views of the parties affected by said ordinance. We have patiently listened to all verbal objections, and considered carefully all communications with reference thereto, and have unanimously decided to estab lish the license tax as follows: "Where any vehlclo Is drawn by one animal, $3 per quarter. When a vehicle is drawn by two horses, 53 per quarter. When a vehicle is drawn by three horses, $7 30 per quarter, except In case of such vehicles as are in use and to be used for private use, and not for business purposes. "We herewith submit an ordinance In accordance with these changes so made, and respectfully recommend that said ord inance do pass. "It will be needful to have license tags ready far the four remaining months ol thIK vcar ami for the year 1901. and Ave resooctfully ask the adoption of an ordi nance making an appropriation to cover that expense."

An ordinance authorizing the license committee to purchase license tags caused a short discussion. Sherratt wished to have proposals for furnishing these tags advertised for or the-work divided among local workmen. Branch explained that tho tags would be needed on September 3, and that there was only one machine in the city for making them, and that in this case the Council might place enougn confidence in the license committee to authorize them to procure the tags to the best advantage. The ordinance was passed by a vote of ayes 8. noes 3. A petition asking for the improvement of First street was granted, and the City Engineer was directed to prepare the ne cessary specifications. A petition for the improvement of Han cock street, from East Fifteenth to East Seventeenth, was referred to the street committee. A remonstrance against the construction of a sewer in East Tenth street on the .ground that it was not wise to break up an improvement just finished was re ferred to the sewer committee. Two petitions for the return of pouna fees of trifling amount and a request that the pound limits be extended to include tho City Homestead on Marquam Hill' wero referred to the committee on health and police. THROUGH EUROPE AWHEEL. Bert Farrell Starts Today to See the World. Robert Farrell, better known as "Bert Farrell. leaves this evenlns for an ex tended tour of Europe and probably other countries, which he has contemplated for some time, but has heretofore been una ble to find leisure for. Before taking the steamer at New Tork ho will Drovlde himself with a bicycle, and he will land at the Cove of Cork and wheel to the north of Ireland, visiting the Lakes of Killarney, the castle and stone, of Blar ney and calling on the historic Kate Kearney, and taking in everything of In terest on the way. He will then cross to Scotland and tour through that laud of cakes, and, following on the route used by the Plcts and Scots In ancient days. will Invade England. He will stay awhile at the ancient town of Aluwick to call on the Duke of Northumberland and other friends and relatives of the Laird of Dunmorc, of Pillar Rock. He will cruise leisurely south through England, visiting ancient castles, cathedrals, and, after a stay In London, will cross to Paris and visit points of interest on the Continent and finally reach Rome. He Is provided with passports, letters of credit and credentials as authorized representative of The Oregonlan, which will give him ac cess to all tho crowned heads and poten tates of Europe or any other country. Unless he receives an urgent request to return on reaching Rome, he will extend his trip to the Holy Land and the unholy lands further on. route after leaving Rome, but his friend, Henry Everdlng, says he will proceed from Palestine to India and then north to Turkestan and to the piace where poor Lentz, the bicyclist, was murdered, and so on Into Thibet to interview the Grand Lama, who cracked the Joints, elongated the spine and half roasted "Walter Savage Landor a few years ago. Thence he will scorch through China to meet the Dowa ger Empress at her new capital, and en. deavor to settle tho trouble with the powers, and after a visit to the Philip pines will return home. In any event, Mr. Farrell expects to be absent about six months ,and perhaps longer, and In tends to see enough of the world to sat isfy him for a long time.

Last month there wero nine laborers employed In the City Park, receiving $2 a day while they worked. This force is much larger In Summer than In "Winter. The number of men employed In the City Engineer's department varies with the season. Four street repairers and' four sewer repairers represents the Sum mer force. In the "Winter when gutters are flooded and stopping up, or floods wash streets and embankments, more men have to be employed In both kinds of work. This department has a maxi mum limit which it is not supposed to exceed. In the street cleaning depart ment the number of men also varies. In the "Winter It is unnecessary to sprinkle. At certain seasons it is more advantageous to clean streets than at others. In the fire department there are changes made each month In the extra men list, as somo men find employment inconsistent with their duties in the de partment. Engines, trucks and hose companies have a standard crew, which may be reduced somewhat where proper persons are not found to fill vacancies. SULLIVAN FINED $50. Found Guilty of Charging; More Than ?10 for Furnishing: Sailors. Lawrence Sullivan, member of a well known' sailor boarding-house firm, was found guilty in the Municipal Court yes terday of having demanded and received more than the legal charge of ?10 a man for sailors furnished the British ship Nithsdalo. Judge Cameron accordingly fined him $50 for the offence.' Sullivan's attorney, Henry B. McGinn, immediately announced that he would appeal the case for his client. In giving the decision Judge Cameron reviewed all the evidence In the case. Captain Stevens, of the Nithsdale, had produced a receipt, signed by Lawrence Sullivan, "for value received," and ac companying this a statement from a sailor, F. Dillon, stating that he forth with relinquished all claims he had against Captain Stevens and the owners of the Nithsdale. In Sullivan's defence it had been urged that he had paid Dilon $400 to extinguish his claim against the ship, and that it was for this purpose that he had been paid the money by Captain Stevens. Dillon was a deserter from the Niths dale according to Captain Stevens' testi mony, and had no claim against him or the ship. "WTjen he had been given the receipt with Dillon's statement, he had maae a notation on it to the effect that he did not know why Dillon's statement had been given him, as the sailor was a deserter, and had no claim against the ship, and he had also noted the fact that he offered to take Dillon back if he wanted to work. Judge Cameron said that he considered this conclusive evidence against Sullivan. whose defence was not supported by wit nesses, Dillon himself not appearing to substantiate his written statement. The complaint was made by British Consul James Laldlaw, and was sworn out with the intention of having prosecuted all the cases of extortion In which he could procure direct evidence.

There are cattle ranges In Oregon upon which bands of sheep never venture, and yet the cattlemen have not attempted In any manner to prevent, them. Cows and calves and fat steers range over these public lands by the square mile, and their grasses are never scented with thd breath of the woolly animals. In Summer these ranges are unlimited In extent, be cause the bovines can penetrate far into the mountains, well up toward the line of eternal snow, and yet no shepherd's tent relieves the beauty of the landscape and no herder's dog makes It Interesting for tho prowling coyote. This may be considered strange In a state where sheep are supposed to have tramped over every acre of public grazing land for the past 20 years, but the locality in which the steer is really king, lies on tho western slope of the Cascades In the eastern por tions of Linn and Lane Counties. Here cattle roam tho Summer hills by the thousand, clipping the blossoms In June, July and August and leaving the stems to rot and enrich the soil for another year. J. B. "Warner, a cattleman of Harris burg, Linn County, was in Portland yes terday to dispose of a carload of fat steers from those rich mountain ranges. He said several attempts had been mado by sheepmen within the past 20 years to pasture their flocks on the public lands about the head of the Cala pooia, but the cougar and the coyote were too many for the herder and his dogs, and the flocks would finally be withdrawn with a large per cent of loss. A sheepraiser named "Wilson sent a band of SOO In there about 10 years ago, "and his herder was glad to beat a retreat within three weeks, with a loss of 25 per cent of his flock. The country Is heavily wooded and provided with dense growth of brush, In which the predatory animals may slaughter sheep all day without being once seen by the herder. This Is the rea son sheepmen have found it convenient to respect a large amount of cattle range, and there have never been any hot words over the matter between sheepmen and cattlemen, either. Cougars and coyotes like Deer as wen as mutton, and are particularly fond of veal, but the cow which has not been dehorned is amply qualified to stand them off, though Mr. "Warner has seen his calves badly cut up and his cows' horns clotted with blood after an encounter with a hungry cougar. In one sense the cattlemen of that re gion look upon the cougar and the coyote as allies, and the "varmints" are seldom molested unless they come down too near the habitations, when they are hunted with greyhounds and sent back to the mountain fastnesses, whera they belong. SPORT FIT FOR KINGS. Portland Party Kill Deer Galore in Const Ranee Mountain. "Pponle who lmaglnei that there Is no longer good deer hunting and trout fish- ino- n nrAtrnn are naaiv mistaiten. a nartv. consisting of Messrs. A. C Em mons. A. J. "Winters, Thomas McCusker, "W. A. Carlen, Thomas D. Honeyman and "Walter Honeyman, have lately returned from a 12 days' hunting and fishing trip on the headwaters of the Coquille River, in the heart of the Coast Range, some 68 miles westerly from Rcseburg. They went Into the mountains by way of Camas Valley, with riding horses, pack horses, a packer and a cook. During their stay of eight days they killed St deer, a ma jority of them being four and five-point bucks, big. fellows, literally rolling In fat. As for fishing, they caught all the fine rainbow trout they could eat In the forks of the Coquille, on which they were camned. but kept no account of the number. Some Idea of the amount of trout and venison can, however, be formed when it Is known that each member of the party gained six to 10 peund3 in weight during the trip. The deer were all shot within a few hundred yards of thftlr camp. They were so numerous that one was in nanger of being run over by them if he 3tayed on the trail. "While one of the party was dressing two' deer which he had killed, four others passed within rifle shot, but he did not offer to shoot any of them. One evening 4u3t before starting for home three of the party went out and killed seven bucks. They saw no cougars, but on several occasions these animals attacked the carcasses of their deer in the 'nicht- The party enjoyed sport fit for Kings and Princes, and literally lived on the fat of the land.

Tho license on dogs will be due Sep tember 1. and a number of persons have already made application for cer&ln fa vorite tags. J. C. Stuart has applied for No. 1, Joseph A. Taylor for No. 2, A. H. Trego for No. 3 and Dr. D. H. Rand for No. 4. The same persons have secured Nos. 1 and 3 for several years, and Dr. Rand has been getting the lowest possible number for five years and hopes to get down to No. 1 some day. Nos. 5, 6 and have not yet been applied for, but tlvre is an application in for No. 8 from a per son at Long Beach, whose dog now wears that number. No. 13 is being saved for Frank Hacheney, whose dog wore It for a time last year and escaped alive, though he was shot twice, on one occasion get ting a bullet through his neck and on the other getting his hide filled with duck shot. Some are Inclined to attribute this run of bad luck more to the disposition of the beast than to the fact that he wore tag l?. He now has a bad attack of (he mange, and If this does not kill him be fore he comes back from the coast, -ur, Hacheney will give him another trial of' the fatal tag, which will probably do for him. i Tag No. 51 has been applied for by a policeman's daughter, as 51 Is the num ber of her father's star, and she wants the dog's tag to correspond. Tho Council, in hopes of lessening tne number of dogs in the city, has placed the license for next year at 13 for male uogs and $3 for female dogs. So far there has been no complaint about the raise, but no licenses have been asked for for e male dogs. To prevent the city from be ing swindled, there are to be no dupli cate tags Issued next year, and the only evidence to show that a dog's license has been paid will be the tag on his collar. It will be advisable therefore to see that tags are well secured on the collars. One woman called to Inquire what would be the result If she did not take out a license for her dog. She was told that it would result In the sudden taking off of her dog. Another woman, who Is here on a visit, wished to secure a pass for her dog until she goes away. As she leaves for the East September 1. she waa told that her pet wa3 in no danger be fore that time. A Lesson In Diplomacy. Against tho terrible background of slaughter and savagery In China, the figure of Mr. "Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese Minister to the United States, stands out with peculiar Interest and dignity, says a writer In tho Youth's Companion. His position has been most difficult and em barrassing. He feels the same horror at the dreadful deeds In China that has been aroused throughout Europe and America, but he has never allowed him self to 'forget that he Is the accredited representative of China to the United States, and through all the difficulties of SPECIALS " Men's and Boys' Wear Men's all-wool Oregon cas simere Suits , $6.65 Men'ssirlped worsted Pants, neat patterns, a pair $2.68 Mcn'stjersey-rlbbt d balbrig gan Underwear, a suit 66c Men'yfancy mottled balbrrg. san Underwear, a suit,. 44c Young Men's 11-wool axtra fine quality worsted suits, checks and stripes, each $9.85 Boys' all-wool two-plecs Suits, double- breasted, sizes 9 to '16 yearvach.44J& Boys' all-wool vesta Suits, gray checks and dark blue serges, sizes 3 t 3 years,each $3.95' Carpet Department kcurtain Swisses, coin spots Mc ana ngurea, as incnea mas; special, per-yard.. ...........

"With admirable tact he has dropped bits of information In regard to events In the East, and their effect upon the more ignorant or conservative of his own people. These suggestions have been, offered merely as explanations, never as excuses; but they have served to temper. In some measure, the dangerous heat of revengeful fury and to prevent responsi bility from attaching Itself to the recog nized rulers. Here, alone, Mr. Wu has been of im mense service to his country, for he haa been able to present matter in such a. light that it has not yet seemed advis able to the "United States to declare war against China, but only to assume that there is a condition of anarchy and rebel lion which may be suppressed without necessarily severing friendly relations with the Chinese Government. To have served his own country so efficiently,, and at the same time to have kept. In such a crisis, the good will and respect of the United States, is a diplomatic triumph of the highest order.
