In Itu wrlt-up nf tho ten glvon by Miss Hazel Ricks nt Euroka nt which the engagement! wns announced, the Euroka Herald says: i "For a long time, It has boon pro-1 phesled by the astronomical match-' makers that the star of Mr. Hutche-J son's destiny was traveling In a parallel line with that cf the charm ing Miss Rogers', and more than onrv the busy ones read by all the sljcns and symbols of the zodiac that their , stellar speculations were liable to ' burst Into a betrothal announcement at any tlmr. But confirmation was never present to back the bny rumor nmvn ia rni iiuihtti ih arw- fore asnmln definite form.

But that the prominent young business man had t actually decided to forsake tho Joys of bachelorhood, n victim to the loveliness and charm of one of Eu- I reka's fairest daughters, was not for mally made known until todny. . when Miss Ricks liberated the happy news at a handsomely appointed luncheon to a few Intimates and nt an Informal tea from four to six for a large number of other guests. "The decorations at thc Ricks' home were distinctively charming, quantities of pale pink baby roses and violets combining to give an ef fect that was at once artistic and beautiful. Thc luncheon wns served at one o'clock and the guests num bering six in all were intimate friends of thc bride to be, who be it told sotto volx, were not entirely over come with surprise when tho pretty story of the betrothal wob formally revealed by thc place cards, which were folded in thc form of double hearts that bore the names of thc hi'lhothcd ones inside. Baby roses and violets blended their dainty col ors to form thc centerpiece, and were strewn carelessly over tho snowy napcry. Filmy pink mnllnc bows adorned thc place cards and thc wholo presented nn artistic appear ance that always characterize thc ap pointments nt thc functions hostessed by Miss Ricks. Those nt thc lunch eon, who were Mrs. I. N.

The discovery that tho freshets and current have sluiced away tho shoal near tho Cold Storage that was foV a long time an Impediment to navigation in the Inner hnrbor may result In an Indefinite postpon ment of the filling of North Front street nnd the Improvement of tho thoroughfare. Thc discovery was mado yestorday by Engineer Lccfo who hnd men making soundings of the channel and wns reported to the special meeting of tho Mnrshflcld city council last evening which wns to make final arrangements for thu fill. Besides this, a decidedly animat ed tilt between Mayor Straw and Councilman Albrecht enlivened tho brief session of thc council. Tho lntter started over the special plans and specifications thnt Mayor Strnw had Engineer Snndberg prepnru for the North Front street work. Coun cilman Albrecht refused to look at these, saying thc council hnd never ordered them nnd wouldn't pny for them. Finally after thc little busi ness up had been disposed of, there wns a question ns to when tho coun cil should meet again. Someone suggested that they adjourn until called together by Mayor Straw, tho object being to permit quick action In case It was discovered that the dredge Oregon could fill North Front street. Councilman Albrecht object ed to this, saying tho council should adjourn to some definite dnte. In stantly Mayor Straw Jumped onto Mr. Albrecht for tho reflection on his Integrity, taking Mr. Albrccht'a objection to leaving thc meeting nt tho wish of the mayor to bo a re flection on his honesty nnd Integrity. He snld that If Mr. Albrecht' would "remove thc cobwebs from his own belfry, tho bnts In somebody clso's nttlc might not bother him so much." Ho snld that If Mr. Albrecht didn't want to leave It to him, thoy could adjourn to thc call of three members of tho council. Mr. 'Albrecht retorted thnt even it he didn't question the integrity and sincerity of tho mayor, ho wanted somo definite, date fixed for tho meet ing 3d that ho could arrange his work to bo In attendance. After moro or less parleying, dur ing which the mayor snld It wouldn't bothor him If thoy didn't meet for six months becnuso ho didn't gctnny pleasure out of tho sessions himself, It was finally agreed to meet Tues day night, February 28. Mr. Albrecht contended that tho previous plans nnd specifications mado for the street In Decombor wero suitable now Instend of now I H plans bring prepared.

Finally it was suggested that Street Commissioner Lawhorne su. pet-vise this part of It. Councilman Powors, who arrived late, said that Mr. Leefc had Just informed him of the shortage 0f dirt In the channel, the shoal at the Cold Storage having been cut away by the currant s that there was less than 500 yards of dlit In side the government's 300-foot dun. ncl from Tlinmormnn's wharf to the Standard Oil waruhouse.

Jt wns pointed out thnt It would cost between $4,000 nnd $5,000 to hnvo tho street filled by tenms whereas the dredge does It for practically nothing. Councilman Savage ex pressed himself In favor of golns ahead with tho Improvement but some of tho others wanted to hear definitely from tho dredge before deciding so tho matter was let go over. Tho only other business brought up was an application of Claudo Nasburg for an arc light to bo put In on Third street opposite tho 0. A. Bennett residence. This request was granted.
