with submit to yon the financial condition
of the City, aud recomineud such measure
for your consideration, as I think the wel
fare of the City requires.
During the past Winter we, with other
cities and towns of the State, were visited
with that terrible aconrge, aearlet fever,
and although it did not become epidemical, a
numlier of our familie had to submit to the
inevitable aud now mourn the los t of on or
more dear deputed little ones. But I am
iiappy to state to yon that we are now en
joying our usual good health and prosperity,
and with the ah ve exception we have been
rarely visited with epidemics, and it is no
vain boast iu me w hen I ay that Kitene
City, situated at t'aa head ot the Willamette
Valley, environed by wooded hills and beau
tiful scenery, iu the midst of a good agricul
tural district, with the State University
located here ami good public schools, with
nearly all of the christian denominations
represented by respectable edilicej and min
isters, with a p ipnlaco in the main peaceful
and law abiding, cost of living as cheap as
any other towu iu the Slate, olfer to tho-e
coining ti our State iuduceiiiouts few other
town cau oiler.
IMriinVEMEVN.
During the year just past there has been
erected iu the City 34 dwellings, fi brick
stores, and by your order aud under the
direction of a Building Committee a build
ing designed for an engine house City Hall
combined, and where our engine and hook
and ladder apparatus are snugly housed and
wlu re our lire nan have a nicely furnished
hall in which t i hold fiir meetings, and is
generally approbated by the boy. This
bull. ling does credit to the City nud Ciwt,
together with the furniture of the Council
Chamber, SM-'i.l 2.'i.
I V your order two fire cistern have been
made, one at the crossing of Seventh and
Willamette streets, and one at the crossing
of Olive and Eight streets, at a cost of $.'"i0
These cisterns I am haupy to lay, are a uu
ces. The straightening of Eleventh street, which
has agitated tne Council for several year,
and which has been an eye sore to those
a.tlietieally inclined, has been consummated
with no injury to any one and hut little ir
convenience to a few property holders.
Ity your order the principal blocks of the
City, were resurvoyed and prominent cur
lier established and recordjil and from
whioii survey cau ba made and corner
established iu any part of the City; thi sat
isliud a long felt want which, with the sur
veying of Eleventh street, coat the City
114 03.
The levy at the railroad crossing near the
mill has been widened and is in good con
dition, at a cost of $73 0J.
' By your rder the City Law havo been
codiliedi printed and bound in bonk form,
jit f cost of Sl.-iOOtl.
, . ,' . ATHEIST AD ALI.ET CRoSsTXIl '
Our City ia growing and spreading over a
good dual of territory making many new
street and alley crossings necessary, often
requiring the presence of the Street Com
uiisaloner iu pirts rem itu fr i.n tlu bu -tineas
center, and as the u.U u of Street C mis-
ai.uieft is held by the City Marshal ami he
nut being posse led of ultii.iity, can not be
in two pi ices at tiie eauie time, may suggest
to you the probible ueoeuly of appointing
a Strict Coinmissi.iiier other than the Mar
shal or inorease Ms alary so that he may be
able to lure the itreut work done. The
Niglitwatehin.nl also informs nie that his
salary is insulliciuut to maintain himself and
family. It would lie well to consider the
matter. Tne laborer is wormy in tits uire.
Compulsory attendance.
I cannot recall a time when it was of great
importance that a quorum should he present,
but there have been ti.:ie when the Council
was obliged to udjouru for want of a quorum,
aud it suggested itself to me that there liny
a contingency arise wnen one or more mem-
bur of the Council, ry voluntarily aus. nung
themselves from its sessions, thwart neces
sary and iuiHirr.ant legislation. I titer fore,
if consistent with the Charter, recommend
an ordinance be passed clothing the Presi
dent with power to compel attendance in
order to secure a quorum.
THE CITY JAIL.
This building, the Marshal and Police in
frin me i entirely inadequate, these olli
cor having been yo.njtelled to tutn prisoner
over to thi S.ierilt for safe keeping. I
would therefore recommend the subject for
your consideration.
HTREETA AND ALLEYS.
Our street aa usual, after a long rainy sea
son, are ill bad c lit inn full of mud, holes
ami uneven places; I think it far better to

fence, and sertamed at his companion to me. t
him In the ''Royal Star Chamber," he almisit
flew through the air. It wa (lilficnlt to keep
sight of him, Uf r in s i very fast. Just as he
wa about to turu the corner to go through the
lau by Bill Stt' house, a very atiange form
rose up by the side id the fence on his left, and
a very abort dii-Uuce iu front of him. Tin
frin was cl 1 1 in hi u'c, w.l'i a white banda.-s
thsl over the head; the form bioked very pale
like a fih-ud deceived. Jim the Gunb-ter
paused a in mi mi t, aud aa h i atopiied, a long

an I tint unpleasant inoKiug inriu win in u
pointed at Jim the iiuiletr:' False to fiiendsj
political fraud; a chemer to cheat the people.
By this time the miielhug in acliiue of dim tli
Giinleter li.-g.iu to work with an accelerated
in.iti ill, aud Ins fee 'hii began to strike thi
ground on the double quick. Jim the Giinlnter
never paused to look blck, but with doubly in
creased speed ran directly to the .star Cham
ber. By the tinu h had btrred the di.r an I
fastfiied the trap, he waaaltn iat rely to faint
with fear and exhaustion. Jim the Gimleter
remarked a he (ell into a chair '1 wonder if
that wa the ghost of John of Springfield
or Join of Hippie."
George the Bland never paused until he
reaeiieil tbecaiuou fence of the University;
then he halted a iiuniuht to sue if any one of
the companions waa coming bis way, for be
was feoliuj unite loiitsoini. Hd could not lee
any mi , an I then he began to quicken his
pace almost to a run. Ine University wa

up in solemn graudei.r, an I be u u.eili atmg
in his mind which coarse to ta e, when a

that soma on was tueie an I lest ha might

Then he turned to the right and followed tin

Just aa he waa about to tae the sidewalk nt
Dr. Patterson's a very strange noise iu on of
the iu iple trees at tlu comer ot th- feuoe on
his left attracted his attention. Uj im ndi
atelylooked up and straiue images appeared
seated in the litnlw near the body of the tree,
f.i) lirst w.ti wait i at ami ar, in i list and inii'

in scarlet, ban, lily, proud ami impenitent hi

but not very lo-.i I, " T.i b -at h ind wins the
piize; John of Hip.de is death to tin inn tuuiit
and pure: beware of Jim tin Gimleter.'
Ity this time quite a number of smaller iinigea
appeared In the bin in: di I not say any
thing. 'They seemed to Iu a;uct itois an I yet

much agitated to retreat iu that direction, so
he moved oil at a rapid speed to the 1 'ft di

George tha Blan I euta.-e I.
K Iwanl the Slippery ran down the fence by
Chiehostem, eauie through th big (rate near
the house, thence ran north along the campus
fence to tlu railroad track. Here he turned
down Kleventh street and was in o ing pretty
lively until he com under tin big oak tree
near the wind pump, when a very atrauga and
unii-iuil sound caught hit ear. He haiked up
nml saw hideous iii Mister perched upon one
of the bis limbs of the big white oak nearest
the fence. The form was almost without
shape, and the noise it made was similar t
the rushing of water. The sound wa very
distinct though, and the atrange image could
articulate wonderfully dear. Edward the
Shpiiery paused a moment, but it was neoessa

and hold it in his right hand for hi hair did

was making the mud fly, and the sight was so

An Open Letter to the Hon. City Coun.
cil of Eugene.
Gestlemes. With due regard lot thbo
orable position to which you have been called;
and with a high appreciation of your personal
worth, permit me to ask you a few question!
with a view, as I humbly believe, to prnuote
the well being of all concerned. Why hnul4
you discriminate between aom fifty or sixty
house in our city engaged in mercantile, n
ehaiiical, profession!, bonking buslaea ant
manual labor, and three or four Bouse en
gaged in telling alcoholic liquoiu On tbe one
hand yon permit these, aay lixty bouse, to
ply their various occupation daily under tbe
fostering car of City aiuhoiity without paying
on dollar of revenue into the City treasury,
save the small pvrceutum of tax levied upon
all in proportion to th capital in vetted. On
th other hand you force these three or four
houses engaged in the liquor butinese to ach
pay3J0 into th City treasury, to b ex
landed in work on streets, sidewalks, eta, and
for paying City officers salaries, all nt which i
a beneficial to each of the sixty a to either of
the three or four. Now why this Injustice to
thesd few men! Ia it hvcauae they represent
in re capit d the sixty? No; that caunot be it.
Is it because they are foreigners aup hard look
ing man? No; for mst of them ere free born
American cituens, and they are as well ilrested
au I look as neallv a our other business and
professional men. "Nor can it be on account of
any neglect of thsir business, fis they attend
to their business aa promptly as other men.
Then why this Invidious distinction? But this
is not all; you pjrinit your merchant to sell hi
g.m Is to i:i -n, womeu and children, but you
will not pjrinit these men to sell tlnir liquor
to minor or Indians. Your dry good man,
your doctor or your lawyer inty exchange with
the Indian, but should your liquor dealer aell
or give one ill mi's w rth of his mirchandis to
a minor or la lian, he must piy a flue for tha
otr.one. N r Inve w yet t dd all of thi un
just ptrtiality a;iinst ths thre or four
