This sum is thought by the council to be a reasonable figure. Councilman Robinson spoke in favor of the passage of such an ordinance, and recounted some of his hard luck in con nection with theatres.

H. Howater, residing on the Lewis and Clark river, wss instantly killed. The youth was out hunting bluejays with his younger brother, and bad lean ed his gun against a fence for a mo ment. As he stepped away from the fence, it seems that his coat caught on the gun in such a manner that it was pulled towards him and at the sami time discharged. The contents of the gun struck young Howater's left cheek blowing off the side of his face, and the top of his head. His younger brother immediately informed his parents, who rushed to the scene of the shocking tragedy, to find their boy lying dead. The circumstances in connection with the shooting were so plain that an in quest was not deemed necessary. The funeral took place yesterday from. the residence of the family. Rev. W. S. Short of this city officiating. The in terment was in the Lewis and Clark cemetery. T HAS FEW FRIENDS IN CONGRESS. (Continued from page 1) that the peope no longer have any in fluence with their public servants, the statement is frequently' made that Speaker Cannon and the other stand patters in congress are defying public sentiment in the matter of revision of the tariff. Speaker Cannon and the other stand-patters are doing nothing of the sort. They think they are fol lowing public sentiment. . At least, they think they are pursuing the course cal culated to secure the election of the largest, possible number of republicans to the sixtieth congress. Instead of be ing in an attitude of defiance, the haunt ing fear that they may have chosen the wrong road causes them troubled days and sleepless nights. They would fall over one another in changing front were they fully convinced they were in error. There isn't a republican member of con gress who wouldn't be rampant for re ision of the tariff if he thought a ma jority of his voting constituents felt that way about it. All of which goes to show that General Hancock wasn't far WTong when he said the tariff was a local isue. It certainly is local to troubled statesmen who are in an agony of dread lest they guess wrong on the direction in which the cat intends to ump. THRESHING MACHINE BURNED. ALBANY, Ore, August 6.

The home of the bon vivant. tf Often a person is sized up by his appear ance; by the tone that surrounds him. And more often a business house is sized up by the stationary it uses. A cheap letter head or a poor bill head gives a mighty poor first impression and makes business harder to transact Good printing costs no more than poor printing. The first im pression is half the battle in business. You wouldn't employ a "sloppy" sales man; why put up with "sloppy" station ery, that gives a wrong impression of the importance of your business.
