It had been found im possible to obtain the grooved rail. The Portland Hallway Company pre sented an ordinance , authorizing them to lay tracks from WashingtonNip Ford street, to give access to their new barn. The proposed ordinance for levying a. 2-mlli tax for the Lewis and- Clark -Ex-. position was pronounced unconstitution al, and was not introduced. ea ! ' & President of the Council Mulkey pre sided over the meeting? in the absence' of Mayor Rowe, who has gone East, and all the members were present except Mr. Bronaugh, who was called to California, and Mr. Nealond. Chairman Masters, of the judiciary com mittee, reported that an ordinance provid ing for the levy of a 2-nffil tax for the "Lewis and Clark Exposition had been referred by the committee tQ the City Attorney for an opinion as to its consti tutionality. In the absence of the City Attorney, Deputy City Attorney Duniway had prepared an opinion in the matter, "which read as follows: Complying with your request for an opinion upon th proposed ordinance to carry into ef fect "an act to authorize the City of Portland to appropriate money for the Oriental Fair, to be held at the City of Portland during the year 10O5," I am of the opinion that the same ought not to be passed, for the reason that said act of the Legislature is in violation of article 11, section 0, of the constitution of the State of Oregon and the elementary principles of the law of taxation. In thai said act un dertakes to allow the City cf Portland, a municipal corporation, by vote of its citizens, to raise money for a corporation or association. Such legislation is illegal, unconstitutional- and void. My attention was called to this matter by the announcement in the papers that this or dnance was to be presented by Mr. W. D, Fenton, and I called upon Mr. Fenton this morning, and suggested to Sim that the act was unconstitutional. I have looked the mat ter up, and find that it is clearly -unconstitutional. The City of Portland can and will aid the Fair. Such aid must be given according to Jaw, not in violation of law. There will be no lofis of time by the Common Council taking this action. Everybody Is In favor of the Fair and city aid for the same. By this act the tax would not be levied until next year. This "Winter the Legislature will have constltutlpnal legislation authorizing the city to levy a special tax to be disbursed by city officers for municipal purposes, so as to aid in many ways the Fair; but the city cannot raise money by taxation, and make a gift of the same to a private corporation whose officers are account able only to the stockholders of the corporation. The committee therefore reported the proposed ordinance as unconstitutional, which report was adopted. "New Track on Fonrth Street. An ordinance amending the ordinance providing for the time and manner of improving the Southern Pacific Company's right of way on Fourth street, so as to allow seven-inch steel rails in connec tion with a guard-rail, to be laid by the company, was passed.

WILLIAM TAYLOR, THE MISSIONARY. Bishop William Taylor, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who died at Palo Alto, Cal., Monday, was born In Rockbridge, Va., May 2, 1S21. Re came of hardy mountaineer stock, and was a man of large frame, capable of greatt endurance. His younger days were spent on his father's farm.. He became -connected with the Methodist Episcopal Church In 1841, and In 1842 entered its ministry, uniting in 1843 with the Baltimore conference. In 1S40 he accepted appointment as a missionary to California, and he was the first preacher to 'or ganize the Methodist Church In San Francisco. He reached that city. September 21, having wjyaged thither by way of Capo Horn. He began bis work.49a building erected with material sent from this state by Superintendent William Roberts. For a residence he built himself a house of shakes, lumber being three or four hundred dollars a thousand, and beyond his reach. The shakes' he -himself cut from redwood trees growing back of where Oakland now stands. From 1840 to 1850, he was the best-known and the most popular clergyman in California. He preached not only In his church on Powell street, but In the streets of the cUjv.and ln-uch of the mining camps as he could' conveniently" reach. ' Everywhere "Fa'ther Taylor" was known and reverenced as. a devoted evangelist and a remarkably. able pulpiteer. He was sifted with a volco peculiarly adapted to speakMng and singing In the open -air, Tind wherever he went crowds waited : on his "ministry.' There are few pioneers on this coast Who will not recall with pleasure his clear clarion tones when, mounting a drygoods box "in the'street, he would sing. "Hear the Royal Proclamation!" In 1S36 he went East on an evangelistic tour of the states, . visiting camp meetings and conventions, and was thus occupied for .about five years. In 1SC2 he left the United States for Australia, where he had remarkable 'suc cess and helped to augment greatly -the Christian forces, there and in Ceylon. During his stay he girdled the globe, preaching in the great centers and every where -with marked effect. He visited Africa, preaching in Cape Colony, Kaf frarla and Natal, where large additions were made to the church, both anions colonists and natives. He spent nearly a year in England, holding services In sixteen different chapels -In London. In 1670 he again visited India, laboring for about a year with different denominations, and In 1S71 he commenced a separate, self-supporting work, which became -the foundation of the great work nfthe Methodist Church in South India. Toward the close of that decade, he visited South-America, establishing there the same self-supporting work as In India. "Later he went to Africa in the same" Interest, and, established a: - large . number -of mission houses that wre expected to "be sustained by the growth of coffee and other products of the country. At theGeneral Conference in. Phlla- delphla, some time in the '80s, he was elected Missionary Bishop, and assigned to the field in Africa, where he tolled with great assiduity until 1SW, whence was placed on the retired list, owing to his falling strength. In 1S98 he made his home wltn a son In Palo Alto, CaL, and there he died. May 19th, a -few days over 81 years I of age. In his prime he was a preacher of great power, and In all his nearly three score years of service In the ministry he showed a wonderful, versatility ot tal ent. Ho was the author of probably a half -score or books, by the sale of which be raised a vast amount of money for the support of his work In different lands. He visited Oregon at least twice, and was well known to many readers" of The Oregonian.

A Suggestion. PORTfLAND. May 2L To the Edltor.) The present strike, occurring as it does right In the busy building season, is In deed most unfortunate, and every possi ble effort should be put forth to terminate it speedily and honorably. To that end let the Federated Trades Council suggest to the Planing Mill Association, that each oody should appoint three men, neither of whom should belong to any labor union, or be connected directly or Indirectly with any wood-working establishment, or be a candidate for any political office, 4ind that the six men so appointed should agree on the seventh man, to be llkewlse'-quailfied, which sevenmen should constitute an ar bitration board to settle the dispute be- for his services as Prison Inspector. Fol lowing- this example, the Legislature l 1899 apprdprlated the same sum, but the Question being raised as to the legality of such appropriation without the 'repeal of the former law. Its repeal was. made and the money already appropriated made available. The amount received b5',me as Prison Inspector has been In no -Tv-ay inereised beyond that received by "niy prefle"cessor. Indeed, the expensef-the Excutlve-of-flce are smaller ty tlie amount ot5horo than $500 than' under my predecessor.

Early In tho session there was consider. -and that, too, must now bo considered ahead of the Hansbrough. bllL Add to this the Hill coinage bill, and a. bill for re modeling the immigration service, and there is considerable debate to be- heard before irrigation can get a day. The supporters of this last-named meas ure are now endeavoring to "get a hear ing about the 30th of May, in the hope of getting a vote not later than tho 2d of June. If this can be done, the bill bllll has a -good chance of being' Unally enact ed. But ther6 are reasons to believe that Us consideration will he delayed still fur ther, and from that time on delay is moot dangerous. It Is almost certain that Congress cannot adjourn by the middle Of June, on account of the prolonged de bate in the Senate on the Philippine bill, but Congress has a. way In "Congression al yeari" of rushing through what is con sidered necessary legislation in the clos ing1 days," and adjourning on short no tice. Such a course Is feared this year, thcrefdre the anxiety and desire to have the Irrigation bill considered in ample time by the House, as It must go back to the Senate for the adoption orthe House amendments, or a conference, which 1s even more to bo -dreaded. Speaker Henderson can fulfill every promise-. yet made If he allows tho irri gation bill to be considered the last day of the session. His promise has merely been to allow the hill- to come up.

Birds Eat ike BlessOms u Ohrrr Tree asdXot Insects.. DILLARD, Or., May 2L (To the Editor.) I have been much Interested In the dis cussion in The Oregonlon concerning tne birds., which the Yamhill fruitgrower ac cused of eating the blossoms off his cherry, trees. Throughout the whole discussion all stem to be disposed to defend the "birds, and" the man who had tho temerity to make- a kick has been compelled to "cc way back and sit down?' It has been asserted that-the birds bit oft the blos-j soms In search of insects, that they sub sist almost entirely on Insects; that the trees bear too much fruit anyway, etCj The bird Is the' California purple npch, technically known ns carpodacus purpur-" eus Californlcus. The terms purple, pur pureus are misleading, as they are not purple at all. The color of the male la crimson about the head, shading off to a greenish brown -above, and ash-gray below. It Is not an imported bird, but I am inclined to the opinion that It has gradually befen drifting north from Cali fornia. I am led to this joplnlon by the fact that, though I lived In Polk Count for a long series of years, I never eaw the bird until I came to Douglas County, upward of S years age To determine the diet of a bird, a natur- allst will first examine the bllL If that organ Is. long and Mender, like that of the meadow lark, the bird may be set down as Insectivorous. If, on the contrary, the bill Is short and thick, like that of the canary. It may safely be classed as a vegetable feeder. To the latter class our bird belongs, which Is a sufficient answer to the Insect theory. The" fact Is, so far as T have been able to determine and I have had an excellent opportunity for ob servation they 4blte off the flowers solely, for .the nectar they contain, and as to the suggestion that they may render a service "by thinning the fruit, a hard frost will do the samo thing, though not more effectually, Nevertheless we rather dread a frost when otir orchards are In bloom. A few years ago these" birds got into the prune orchards in this -vicinity by the hundreds, and the ram of the blossoms was Uk'e the fall of a heavy snow, and there is no doubt that nothing but a vigorous warfare on the birds saved the orchards frvnx serjous injury. There were over 200 shot in a single day in two or chards aggregating about 15 acres. But It Is not alone the . blossoms that re attacked by them; for though they, almost entirely-disappear after the bloom has fallen from the trees, by the time the cherrWll- ara ripe they .are on hand In full force, eich Individual ready to de stroy more cherries tlan a dozen robins, for, Instead of eating the fruit, they bite into one after another as fast as they can got to them. Not only are they de structive' of fruit, but of many kinds of garden seeds as well; and once they ate about f the" -bats which I hed sown on a slx-jlcrefield. These are the facts about the red polls, and I leave. It to yodr readers to ju"lge whether they are a nuisance or not; but no one should" get the idea' that they ara insect-eaters. I suppose-1. shall have a hornet's nest about my .ears for-this, but I -will only say this tp your readers.: Don't let senti ment run away witn common sense., I am. as good-a friend to birds In general as any oneMn fact, I frequently have a serious disagreement with the fanilly cat for killing birds, but that depends some what on the kind of bird It may happen to be. F. M. SEBRING. i , ARE NOT WELL RECEIVED. Therefore, Immlsrrants Do Not Settle in the' "Willamette Valley. PORTLAND, May 19. (To the Editor.) A gentleman who has lived In "Western Oregon for many years, and who has been for the pas? two years in Eastern Oregon, was asked by a business man in Salem tho other day whether he thought the Willamette "Valley is getting its proportion of the Immlgratldn now flocking to this great Northwest Hla -reply was: "No, not its proportion; but it is getting all that it can expect." "When asked why he made that answer, his reply was In .sub stance as follows: Assuming that you want the truth and will tako no -offense at a plain statement of facts, I will state to you, as nearly as possible, wh"a,t I conceive to be the reason. Tho farmers of the "Willamette Valley, as jL rule, lack enthusiasm, cor diality and push. Here Is about the way a newcomer 1 received: "Hello! "Where are you from? What brought you to this country?" "Well, I have r$ad the ac counts of your wonderful Valley, Its equable climate, no extremes of heat or cold, no destructive storms nor fierce bliz zards. The wonderful fertility of your soil, Its productiveness: the enormous crops of cereals it produces; the abund-, ance and lusclousness of its fruits apples, peaches, pears plums, cherrieF, etc.; Its great prune crops, Its yield of hops and wool; Vast forests of the finest timber in the world; its crystal streams, well sup plied with :tha royal chlnook and brook and mountain trout; Its matchless scenery all combined to "turn my attention to your lovely Valley." Then the son of the pioneer, with his straggling beard and tangled uncombed locks, replies: "Well, you're fooled on the Valley, To be sure, It don't get very cold nor very hot; but about eight months In. the year It rains to beat the band, and the other four months la mighty dusty and disagreeable- .

"Whatever its pos- slblUUes, is the gain worth tlje sacrifice and the risk?" Usually the question Is decided negatively, and the man disap pears from the Valley; Not so In Eastern Oregon. There the glad hand Is extended; all Is sunshine, gladness, welcome. The Eastern Oregon farmer will te!l you that 40 and 50 bushels of the world's finest wheat grow there on every acre of well-tilled land; that ths fostering skies drop down, figuratively speaking, thousands upon - thousands of lambs, calves and colts In tho midst of vast and increasing herds; that their hills are covered with flecks, their valleys are covered over with corn; they shout aloud, they also sing. His enthusiasm Is bound less. There Is cordiality In his welcome; there Is life and springiness in his move ments; there Is magnetism In his tpuch. Everything about him indicates force. "Get there" Is written all over the man: It gleams In his" eye, Jt tingles in his An gers' ends, It radiates from his whole be ing. It Is written on his clean, freshly painted buildings; it tinkles from the bells of his flocks and herds; It Is shouted by his children on their .way tn school: the happy wife -sings It In her clean and In viting home. He seems to have brought all nature Into sympathy with him, for the earth and sky are radiant with beauty. With a cheerful good-bye he gallops away over the vast bunchgrass plain, and tha "newcomer," as he watches him go, feels that such surroundings are to be chosen, rather than the sublime beauty and un oqualed richness of the Wll!amette Valley" filled with dead men.
