THE OWL DRUG STORE. PROPOSAL TO BE DECLINED Little Probability That Council Will Accept Offer for Sale or. . Flavel Brick Buildiing. ROUGH OUTLINE OF NEW HALL Foundation to He of Stone nml Rulldlug of Wood-Jail Will He Located in Basement of Structure. There la little probability that the offer of Captain Flavel to sell his fine brick building to the city will be ac cepted. A majority of the members of the council feel disposed to go ahead with the city building proposition in augurated before the offer catne from Captain Flavel, and there seems little doubt that the offer will be rejected. At that, however, exception Is taken to the statement that there Is in this new offer an evident desire to pawn off on the ctty an old structure. The offer of Captain Flavel was made at the Instigation of Councilman Nord strom, who was urged to look Into the matter by prominent taxpayers, Cap tain Flavel did not take the Initiative, and It Is only fair to htm to say that he made the proposal upon the request of a city official whose sole idea Is to save the city a larger sum of money. Councllmen Morton and Kaboth yes- terday declared themselves against buying the Flavel brick. Both gentle men agree that the offer is a splendid one; but entertain the opinion that the building Is not at all suited to the needs of the city. "I am Informed by reliable persons that much of the woodwork of the building is rotted," said Mr. Morton yesterday. "I agree that the offer Is indeed an excellent one, but the build ing is not suited to our needs. It would cost a considerable sum to alter It, and we would have on our hands the city hall property recently pur chased. I shall oppose the purchase." Said Councilman Kaboth: "We have already made provision for a new city hall, and I shall oppose purchase of the Flavel brick. The building Is not at' all adapted to the requirements of the municipality, and, while the offer Is one that any business man would Jump at, the city can not well buy this property. We can put up a city build ing which will .fill our needs for 20 years to come with the funds which we will be able to provide. If we bought the brick we would not do so with the Idea of permanently retaining that lo cation. It is my Idea that we should have a hall built for the purposes re quired." Mr. Nordstrom's Ideas. Councilman Nordstrom still clings to his belief that the council should make the purchase. He points out that the city has paid $4000 for a hall site and will be required to pay an additional $1000 for street Improvements around the property. It will be necessary for the council to transfer $10,000 from the general fund to the city hall fund in order to provide the money necessary for the construction of the hall, and In this way the Indebtedness will be Increased $15,000, according to Mr. Nordstrom's figures. - The hall must be built just as quickly as possible, so the council will have no opportunity to accumulate a fund before the build ing Is completed except by making the transfer. 1 believe we should buy the Flavel brick," said Mr. Nordstrom yesterday, discussing the matter. "So far as the purchase of the city hall site at Six teenth and Exchange is concerned, we need not further cripple ourselves fl inanclally. If the Flavel proposition will be a better one for the city than the proposal for the construction of a new city hall, then we should accept It. Many property holders have come to me and urged me to use my influence to bring about the purchase. One of the wealthiest men of the city today told me that the Flavel property would Increase enough In value within the next five years to enable the city to dis pose of it at a price which would per mit of the building of a hall costing $50,000. So many favorable expres sions came to me that I secured an option from Captain Flavel on the property. The option will hold good until the 21st Inst. I shall present the matter at the special meeting of the council Monday night." Plan for the New Hall. Architect Schacht and the members of the public property committee, with Mayor Surprenant, have already rough ly drafted the plans for the proposed new structure. The building Is to be 80x60 feet. The foundation will be of stone, and in it the city jail will, be located. Tbe building will be of two stories and an attic, On the first floor I INI i I -iiij I ill' i ijj- We Dress Particular Meii SPECIALS THIS WEEK - "Gold and Silver Shirts" - There's not another shirt made any where to equal it. No matter on what point. We carry a complete assortment of all ,wanto4 sty lea, in ucat stripes, figures,' dots or plain white, plain or pleated fronts, cuffs to match, $1.25, $1.50 and $1.75 The Famoua "KNOXM Hats Are "Winners" in every senso of the word more sightly and shapely hats can't bo found. We have all the now shapes in all sizes. COOPE R, - j will be situated all of the offices with the exception of that of the city en gineer. The library will also be located on the second floor, together with the council chambers. Upon the stone foundation will rest a structure of wood, with slate roof. The foundation will be so constructed that the wooden building can at any time be removed and a stone or brick building substi tuted. On the first floor of the building will be the offices of the auditor, treasurer, city attorney, mayor and street super intendent. The water commission will also be provided with offices, although the locution of the commission' head quarters has not yet been definitely determined. The rough sketch of the structure provides for a building that will cost In the neighborhood of $23,000. How ever, members of the council admit that if the city undertakes the con struction of a $25,000 hall, the cost will run up to $30,000 before it la com pleted. There will be considerable objection to tbe location of the city Jail In the foundation of the hall. Other commu nities have tried this experiment with most unsatisfactory results, and the prediction Is freely made that the As toria council Is about to fall Into one serious error In erecting Its new hall. It Is the purpose to add a patrol wagen to the city's paraphernalia. The public property committee win submit a report to the council at the adjourned meeting, and it will then be decided Just what Is to be done. Mr. Schacht ha agreed to send down the plans for the building at the ear liest possible moment The committee Is anxious to get the roof on the struc ture before the winter months set In, and will therefore rush matters. AN ALBINO MARTEN. Vancouver, II C, June . A freak of nature In the shape of albino marten has Just been brought to town by Hun ter J. Goad. He trapped this curious specimen on Lake Nlmpklsh, at th northern end of Vancouver Island. The usual color of a marten Is dark, and the animal generally has a black streak dawn the back. This specimen la of a rich orange color streaked with white. Most martens have a dash of orange around the throat; on this one the color has taken the place of the dark brown all over the back, while underneath the brown Is so alight that It Is rather a dirty white. The usual price of a marten la $S. but Mr. Goad says $25 Is the least price for this small animal which nature has marked so curiously. He states that It Is the only one of Its kind ever trapped on the Pacific coast and probably In the world. This Is not the only freak that Mr. Goad has secured on Vancouver island. Some months ego he obtained an al bino coon, an extremely rare animal. The marten, however, Is a much better looking ornament for a room, or as a rug, than the white coon. One other peculiar feature about It Is a bushy tall, Just like that of a fox. The war In the far east hns knocked the fur trade all to pieces," said Mr. Goad In speaking of the market. "Prices are away down. The Russians are not buying and prices are one-half what they were before the war." Inherits a Fortune. London, June 9. The fact has Just been made public that the prince of Wales has come into a substantial windfall by the death of the duke of Cambridge. Many of the leases grant ed by the duchy of Cornwall 40 or 60 years ago were on the three-lives sys tem. In stead of running for a spe cial number of years, they were grant ed for the term of the survivor of three lives. The duke's was the third surviving life named In many of these leases, and all of these now revert to the prince of Wales, as duke of Cornwall. Captives Will 8oon Be Released. Paris, June 9.
