For detail 1 will refer you to the Re corder, Treasurer and Marshal reports. It will be necessary perhaps for me to say a word in relation to the condition of what is called the Fire Fund. On the 17th of June, 1878, the Council levied a two mill tax for fire purposes, the exact amount collected from thi tax is not known, the turn ex pected to be realized wa between $800 and $900. No sum w as ever set apart by the Treasurer, for fire purposes, but all money were passed into, and remained, in the Gen eral Fund. On the 13th day of April, 1879, Mr. Luckey received from Mr. James, the former Treasurer, the sum of $903, total amount of cosh on hand. The whole amount of this sum was not from the tw mill tax, for dur- the last week of Mr. Jame term of office be received for liquor licenses and street work the sum of $423 75, and paid out nothing, so this sum should be deducted from $908 which wonld leave $467 25 as the amount of the Fire Fund, assuming the whole to have been from the two mill tax. At the next meeting of the Council, May 12, 1879, the Treasurer was authorized to apply the Fire Fund to the paymont of the city's indubtedness, which was something near $800, with the understanding that the urn thould be replaced, with interest, when so ordered. This action on the part of the Council was for the purpose of transferring the interest the city was paying on her out standing warrants, to the Fire Fund, as there was no law authorizing the Council to loan the money; So the Fire Fund to-day is $467 25 With 23 month interest & 10 per ct . 90 So Wonld be $558 10 If it is the intention of the Council to make any provision against (ire, the first thing to do, is to reimburse the 1' lie Fund, and how shall that be done? The amount on hand, and the delinquent tax list it iusuf ficient for the purpose; deduct current ex pense from five mill tax. which is your limit new. snd vou are still short Iu this state of the case would it not be wall to re turn, for this year at least, to the old plan of paying th uight watch, vis.: Let prop. erty owner between Oak and Olive and Fifth and Elovouth streets, employ and pay their own watchman. 1 he sum required would not be a heavy tax on any one, and I do not think there will be any serious objee tion to this method, as by so doing they would all aid, indirectly, in securing some provision against fire. Having nothing further to offer, the fore going is respectfully submitted. B. F. Dorkis, President FOREWARNED AND FOREARMED, C. S. Smith, the Bilk. He Reappears at Seattle, and Runaways with a Miss Livingston. The Seattle Intelligencer gives the bilk Smith a send off as follows: "A fellow about 35 years old, with an ex' tensive sandy mustache and a bad eye, who calls himself Smith, hns been stopping st Seattle for a month or so past He has been following the occupation of transferring pio tores ou to glass and had considerable work to do, but being a bilk by nature, he could oot conscientiously leave a place without bilking someone. By false representations he got credit at several place of business in Seattle. At one paint store he run a bill of $40. and at other stores he had smaller ao couuts. While here he got acquainted with a girl living up back of the jail named Liv inraton. She wanted to learn the art of transferring pictures, and while be should tiAVA been nvini her instruction be was coaxing her to runaway with him. She final' ly consented, and Friday morning's boat car ried them off for Port Townscnd. On his arrival there an officer met him with a bill which had been telegraphed by Mr. 'Jraves, It wa for a small amount, and Smith paid it and proceeded on. It i supposed he is Victoria. The people of British Columbia should look out for him." The Eugene Bridge. Work at the Engene bridge is progressing rapidly. The spiles are about all driven in asabetantial manner.

The society was called te order by the President, Mr. Arthur Frasor, aud after the usual order of business wa goue through with, Mr. M. Judkiu recited a beautiful poem on the importance of the teacher work. The interesting tubjoet, "Resolved. That the Phonetio method of spelling is preferable to the one now in use," was open ed for discussion snd was handled in a mas terly manner bv the leaders, Messrs. Mount and Connoway, also by their colleagues, S. W. Condon and J. N. Goltra, followed by mauy otheis. Our space will not pcimit us to give an extended description; but we will si.nply say that the speeches on eitlior side displayed careful ctudy and much original ty. The graceful manner in which Mr. Fra ser presided over the deliberations of the society was, the subject of no a little com ment He was wnll supported by the Seo retary, Mr. John McCornack.
