I The time of the county court was oei'ttpied yesterday principally with the; consideration of claim. F.li K. Fob-; ler, supervisor of roud district No. 15, i reported tlu.t the bridge near Mrs.! Lewis' iliup had been washed oiii.'nnd. nslted for Instructions from the court, After KoadniuKtor Fry.e reports on the J mailer Supervisor Foster will receive . his Instructions, A petition from! Chris Kbsen and others for a bridge j over the taw Is nnd Clark was referred ; to District Attorney Allen for an opinion on legal points involved. The court will continue it session today. t yesterday's session of the county court the proposal for the construc tion of a city hall and courthouse was brought up. The matter was refer red to District Attorney Allen for the purpose of determining whether or not the bulldln of Joint city and county la aduini'tiM's ivould be legal. This ac tion on the part of the county court does not necessarily mean that the building will l.e erected, but the mem bers wish to be sure of their position before taking any action. The pro posal for the construction of this build ing caused much discussion some weeks ago, and the court will be guided In Its future action by the wish of the major ity of tho taxpayers of the county, Mr. Allen's report on the legality of the matter will probably not be received by the court until next term. The Impression prevail that the Joint building can legally be constructed. The steuiner Kdllh, which wa brought down the river a few day ago, ' I being prepared for towing purpose, and It I expected she will relieve the congijj condition of the logging market. For several week the Port land inlllmen have been unable to get their logs up the rlvr, but now that tho IMlth I' available It I expected ther will be no further caune for com plaint. More thai 1,250,000 feet of log are at llwuio awjltlng a tow to a point where noine river tenmer may pick them up. A oclal entertainment will be given next Friday evening in the Fluvel building m In1 street, used by the Methodist fair, by a combination of part of the sophomore and a part of the freshman classes of the high school, the object being lo raise fund for the bcnelit of the reference Miliary, A good progtain ha been prepared and refreshment will lie served, the n.all sum of 10 cent only being churged to admit visitors.

A gale reged around the mouth of the river yesterday morning, and the wind at times attained a velocity of 73 mile, aitordlng to Observer Kelleher'a report. So heavy was the blow at II wato that school wa dismissed. One of the teachers, Mis Brumbach, was quite badly Injured during the storm. Af'.er dismissal of school she started for hei home, but Just outside the school house door was caught by the gale and hurled up against the build ing, suffering a fracture of Uie arm. So far a could be learned yesterday,; no extenslk'? damage was done at II waco. Yesterday a plledrlver belong ing to Charles Davis was blown ashore on Sand Island. The driver was In tow of a launch when the gale struck It. Later the driver was hauled off the Is land nnd tak n on to Chinook. At the ifgular meeting of the Push club last evening road matters took up nearly the entire time. It developed that the progress on the Nehalem road was much belter thnn would appear from the report of the experts ap pointed to determine its cost to date. President Carnahnn said the entire amount to be tiased by the S-mlll levy would be In the neighborhood of 130, 000. and he expected that $6000 or ISOOO would be available for continuing the road beyond Olney. The work thus far done has been very expensive on account of the extensive diking requlr ed, but from now on the road will cost not to txceed lili.iu a mile. Mr Cnrnahan also called up the matter of the proposed new road law which will be introduced nt the forthcoming ses sion of the elgtsluture. This law will place road districts on about the same place as school districts, providing for a general stn road levy of 5 mills, and empowering the several districts to make such additional levies as may be necessary (or road building. The funds derived would be expTded, so far as new construction Is concerned, under the diitltcon o fine county road niBsler. whereas repair work to old Im provements would be made by the su pervisor of the ro.vl district In ques tion. The making of levies would be taken out of the hands of the county court. It is the Intention to Incorpor ate In the hill a cln.ise authoiir.lng the county court to alter the boundaries of road district once" a year. Mr. Carna h'xii will have his bill In shape within a short tim and It will then be sub mitted to the club for thorough dis cussion. DISSOLUTION NOTICE!

BIDSTON HILL LAID UP Mil IP, MTHIKEM OlWTKl'C TIOX IX COLt'MIIIA. Ih Now In lflklntr Condition With Cargo of Cement In Danger. The BritUh ship Uidston Hill, with a full cargo of '.em? it, 1 lying at fika- mokawa upper post light In a leaking condition, a the result of an accident that' occurred Tuesday evening, a the vewtel wa on her way up the river In tow of the Oeklahamu. She left As toria Tuesday morning In charge of Captain Al Delta. The accident recurred near Pillar Ilocg, where the hlp truck a rock or sunken log, springing a plate or (lov ing a hole In her bottom. The extent of :he damage has not yet been ascer tained, but It I the belief that she can be repaired without much trouble. The launch Elk went up the river to th! ship yesterday, and on her return Captain Keating said: "The ship came In contact with some sunken olmructlon Tuisday evening. She was not making more than six or seven miles an hour at the tune, and It Is thought her bottom is not badly damaged. The forward water-tight compartment Is filled with water, which also causes a small leak into the hold. The water is easily kept down with a bucket, however, and the cement car go si not affected. When I wa at the vet.si'1 she was drawing 22 feet aft and 23 feet 2 inches forward, her forward draft being 14 Inche greater than be fore Ihe accident occurred. She Is lyln' at the SkamoK.iwa upper post light." Captain Jones was aboard at the time his ship struck, and. catching the Gatzert, he came down to this city. He will go to the ship on the Elk this morning. , The steamer Hercules left Pof Hand last night for the scene of the disaster. She will take down a diver and the necessary pumping apparatus, and a thomogh examination of the damage will be made. COST OF NEHALEM ROAD. EXPENDITURES ARE ALMOST AS GREAT AS THE ENTIRE AMOUNT AVAILABLE. At yesterday's session of the county court the report of the experts ap pointed to determine the cost of the Nehalem rond was presented. The re port showed that the total cost of the road to date from nil funds was as follows- Surveying I 1.840 60 Labor 13.423 80 Tools and material 2,032 67 Diking 5,110 65 Sundries 205 35 Crushed rock 393 25 Use of sawmill 110 00 Crusher and engine 2.667 t2 Grader 300 50 Sawmill and engine 2.i22 11 Total IJS.306 55 Those warrants which were drawn on the Nehalem road fund totaled 120.748 41, while the warrants drawn on the general fund aggregated $7650. U. For the building of the Nehalem road the county has made a levy of 2 mills, which runs for five years. The total amount to be netted from this levy will be about $30,00. The report of the experts rhows that all but about $9500 of the fund has thus far been ex pended. The road is far from com pleted and another levy will be neces sary to carry out the undertaking.
