, The excui-sion to the bay last Sun
day was the largest one which has ever
gone. over. There were 470 passen
ger, -la going over they were crowded
into six coaches, but in returning two
more coaches were added, so that the
excursionists were - not crowded so un
comfortably. -The regular passenger
train the day before carried more than
200 passengers. This has been the
heaviest year of travel in the history of
lue roaa.
Work Begun. E. . T. McCaust-
land, the superintendent in charge of
the street improvements, and the set
ting of the grade stakes has already
begun. After this parr of tire work
Is completed the paving will begin'and
be pushed rapidly to completion. The
city council has wisely decided to put
in stone crossings. This will cost
bout twice as much as wood, but the
difference in durability will amount to
many times the difference in price.

Concerning the ' ELECTiON.-In
other parts of the paper may be found
two communications ' bearing- on the
water and light questions. ' Our columns
have always- been and are yet open
for discussion of all questions of public
interest, and if j'ou notice ay. senti
ments which' do jipt meet : with" your
approval, ," just" remember" that it is a"
matter of opinion. - These questions
!iave been given a pretty thorough dis
cussion and everybody has had a chance
to air his opinion, so that by this time
all" of the voteis ought to have a clear
idea'of the manner in which they .will
cast their ballots. - By most of those
ith whom we havS couversed the wa
ter and light questions seem to be con
sidered together, so that which ever
way one goes the other" will" be likely
to follow, although, if there is any dif
ference, the proposition to erect or
purchase water works meets with meets
with the more hearty approval, but the
!ight proposition is almost as warmly
supported. Next to these is the ques
tion of sewers, while the bridge across
the Willamette, although very import
ant, not attracting the amount of at
tention that is being given the other
points. Indications are that the elec
tion will be close, and nobody can say
with an feeling of certainty how it will
go, although, of course, each one wants
it to go in accordance witli his own par
ticular opinions. Next Monday when
you go to the polls, vote conscientiously
nd just as yon think it should go for
the best interests of the commonwealth.
A Fraud. A man calling himself
George Stevens was in the city this
week trying to work on the sympathies
of the charitable. ' He claimed to be a
member of the I.0. O. F., and solicit
ed assistance from the local lodge.
When asked for proof of his member
ship, he said that he had lost his card.
He said to some that he bad only $1.40
and to others that he had $1.80- "He
made a number of efforts to obtain
morphine, but being unable to pro
duce a physician's prescription, failed
to get it At one place where he made
some purchases he tendered a $10 bill
in payment, and when the I. O. O. F.
committee requested an "explanation
he said that he had pawned his watch
for $10; being asked where, he gave
the committee to understand that it
was none of their business. The com
mittee decided that he was a bilk and
declined to , do anything for him.
Afterward,' at the depot, he had another
10 bill changed when he purchased
his ticket, which proves that he was in
possession of more mouey than he
claimed to have.
He Insulted Ladies. A. Smith,
the carpenter who was arrested for in
sulting ladies on the street last week,
was sentenced to serve twenty five days
in the city j.iil. He bad been repre
senting himself as a reporter for the
Sunday Mercury and was annoying
different parties with threats of a
write-up in that paper. The Mercury
denounces him as an impostor and
liar, and says that he is not an agent
for that paper, nor is he authorized to
to use its name in any wy. Tuesday
afternoon he was allowed outside the
j-u'l for the purpose of securing bail
and after failing to get it refused to
return o hfsfcell, so Marshal Scrafford
was compelled to resort to force to in
duce obdience,""-id succeeded 'in

out much better than was anticipated
at the beginning of the" harvest, and
the result undoubtedly will be fully up
to the average, while the quality of the-
gram is far above the average, one of
the local millers making the assertion
that it is the best that has been grown
in this vicinity for many years. The
price per bushel is 64 cents at Albany
and 65 cents in this city, and; ranges

dized, because in searching for a poss

articles on public questions, it is that
he is iu favor of - a good wholesome
standstill, and a warm . advocate, of
vested rights. , .
But I only mentioned "R" incident
ally; what I wish to say", is, that
every man with an ounce of brains in
his head, who lives here, knows ' that
our city has no protection against fire;
that in case of an extensive one; such
as we may have at any time, the pres
sure or supply of our '.water system is
not eciual to . the emergency. : Fires
often break out by -accident or .-spon
taneously, and mav occur ' while; the
people are watering their lawns,, eight
hours of each dav bein2 allowed for
this purpose, and our property ! during
one-third of the time is.at the mercy of
any blaze which may start . ,
What we want is a irood supply of
water with pressure enougbro' throw
it over the, highest buildings at . all
times. Years of experience h :s 6howri
us that this cannot be had under the
present economical management, which
seems to look well to thei poiut that
no water shall be wasted, evfen in case
the town is burning. ; I . " . '
I do not mean to hold this company

conducts its business" like .-- other, ex
tremely parsimonious individuals

est possible returns witli the least pos-.
sible outlay. - The ownership of mo
nopolies of this kind seems to gravitate
toward people of this- character v and
their patrons always suffer while such
monopolies last. ' .'" . ;
The proposition- referred by tlie
city council to the-people' is- for the
city to establish--ar'coinplete and effi
cient water system,' purchasing, if of
fered, such parts of thu 6ld system as
cmi be riiad&fioeful to the ' new 'one,
and issuing MK.r per ccnt. bonds on
