The council at Us last session passed 'a resolution- requesting; the board to 'air low the Fidelity Investment company to '"ronnecfrits ; hew six-story building at Fourth and . Pine streets with the lir Inch mala on Fourth street. The mat ter was referred to Superintendent Dodge and Engineer Clarke of the water boardy During the session of the board. It Is said, the sentiment was strongly adverse to doing any such thing, some members holding that according to its - rules such procedure would be irregular. ' . The counellmen assert that the board must do as they say, must make the nec essary, connections,. .and also expend a portion of the $90,000 surplus noW on hand in effecting suoh improvements. In support of this portion-they quote a section of the charter which says that the water board shall be "subject to or dinance .to. make all needful rules and regulations for the conduct and manage . ment of the same by the city and the " inhabitants thereof.' that "the council shall by ordinance authorise the' pro posed expenditures to be paid only out of the water fund, and shall likewise fix th water rates for the" ensuing year," . and that "the water board shall, there upon take possession and charge of and shall, subject to ordinance, manage, con- dut-t and majntaln the same." t- , ? The members of the council claim that these sections of the. charter give them the power to order the water board to make the necessary connections and In the ordinance which City Auditor Dev lin has been requested to draw up they will assert that right. .

On December S Loren Bragdon stated that he was the father of , the three boys who were giving a comic prize-fighting act at th Arcade theatre.,: In Astoria a few days ago Bragdon made an appli cation to' the opunty cdurt of Clatsoj) county to be appointed, guardian of the same three boys, stating that their par ents were dead, and that he wished to adopt them. In this city Bragdon had worn that the lads Were over 1C years or age, wcue Derore tne uiatsop court he gave the age of the, oldest as being 14 years. The boys' names are Harold, Wilbur and Clifford Brageon. 1 x , When .the boys first, made their ap pearance at .the Arcade the state labor commissioner asked Mr. jQardnejvj)lLthe Boys' and Girls' Aid society,-to see the boys and find out, if possible, their ages. Loren Bragdon then stated that ihe boys were his sons and that they were alt over 18 years old.1 v i , . Bragdon, who was the manager of the trio, said that the young actors were born la New York city,,, and that their mother, his wife; had died there several years .ago. He gave Mr. Gardner the name Of the cemetery in which he stated she was burled.' Mrs. Trumbull, ; secre tary of the labor commission, wrote to New York regardjng the truth of the statement made by the show manager. The reply received by Mrs. ' Trumbull stated that no record could be found of the Bragdon family." . When Bragdon and ' the' comic prise fighters had finished - their contract in this city they "went to "Astoria., The state commission, and also the officers of the Boys' and Girls' Aid society, took a renewed interest in the case of the boys. When' the - advertisement an nouncing that Bragdon applied ' to be mads the guardian of the boys a war rant was sworn oat -tor the arrest of Bragdon on the charge of perjury.

If the ordinance against the selling of liquors to minors had been enforced In the past J would give this man the limit, but as it has not been I will Ira pose, a fine of $75 upon him." The above ' remark was made this morning by . Municipal Judge Hogue when he fined D. T.

Abraham Lincoln, 16th president Of the United States, the - man who was at the head of this government during one of the , greatest civil . struggles of modern times, and who fell at the hands of an , assassin Just as the eventful struggle was Hearing a close, was born February JJ, ,1809. Today in 10,000 schools and In as. many cities of the United States the . event is being re membered. At American consulates In foreign lands, patriotic ones raise their hats, in token of respect to the great war president. At every military post, on . every ship; that flies the Stars and Stripes, cheers to the memory; of the martyr are given. Frum nearly every building 'and flagstaff from- the Atlan tic to the Pacific-and -fromrtheGulf of Mexico to the, lakes, the red, 'white and blue waves in the breese to the glory ot "Honest Abe," and there is not a true citizen of this 'great nation who does not thrill 'with pride as he thinks of this man; who, to Americans, had but one equal. ' Portland ' children are remembering Abraham Lincoln's . birthday with ap propriate exercises at the schools and at the public llbVary. : -i At the latter place Miss Hassler, In charge of the children's department, has decorated the room with pictures of the great ' emancipator, his birthplace, early home and other -scenes connected with his life. She related a number of Incidents of his life to the children this afternoon and told briefly the history of the first martyred president. ' Of, Abraham Lincoln much has been said but of that bis honesty and in tegrity have always stood out bold and strong. , -: 'v'. Aside from his management of the troubled government during the war of the . rebellion, .Lincoln's powers of ora tory and bis common sense earned for him a place among the greatest men since the time of Adam. , ; : r ; Most persons looked upon Lincoln as an uncouth ; man, strong of mind and character, fond of a .story, but of poetry and the finer qualities, somewhat lack ing.' A close study of his life shows the contrary. A shadow that ever blighted the sunshine from his life was the death of his first love, and while he married In after years, his matrimonial career was far from pleasant. , The last words delivered by Lincoln on the afternoon before his assassina tion show that he anticipated the great future of the "Far West." . Schuyler Col fax was just leaving on his mission to he Rockies with words of encourage ment to the miners. He called at the White House to bid farewell to the president. - Mr, Lincoln said: "Mr. Colfax, I want you to take a message from me to the miners whom you visit. I have very large ideas of the mineral wealth or our nation. I believe It Is practically inexhaustible. It abounds all over the western coun try, from the Rocky mountains to the Pacific, . and its development haS scarcely commenced. During, the war, when we were adding a couple of million dollars every day to our national debt. I did not care about encouraging the Increase lrt the vofiime of our - precious metals. We had the country to save first. But now that the . rebellion is overthrown,' and we know pretty nearly the amount of our . national debt, the more gold and silver we mine, we make the payment of that debt so much eas fer. Now, I am going to encourage that in every possible way. We shall have hundreds : of ' thousands of dis banded soldiers, arid many have feared that their return home In such great numbers might paralyse Industry . by furnishing suddenly a greater supply of labor than there will be a demand for. I am going to try to attract them to the hidden wealth . of our mountain ranges, where there Is room enough for all. Immigration, which even the war has not stopped, will , land upon our shores hundreds of thousands mora from overcrowded Europe. I intend to point them to the gold and silver that await them in the west Tell -the miners for me, that I shall promote their Interests to the best of my ability, because their prosperity is the prosperity of - the na tion. - And we shall prove In a few years that we are Indeed the treasury of the world," ; Two celebrations of the' anniversary of the birth of Lincoln will be held In this city one tonight at Grace Metho dist Episcopal church. Twelfth and Tay lor streets, and - tjie other tomorrow evening at the Second Baptist church, Seventh, and Ankeny ' street Good programs of literary and musical fea tures have been provided. The address for the celebrat.on tonight, will be de livered by State Senator - George C Brownell of Oregon City. The program for tomorrow night includes- reading of Lincoln's favorite poem by M. L.

Haines & Bona to keep their big tan nery here, they having recently an nounced that they would move the plant in the near future to some., location more convenient to the supply of tan bark, because the Southern Paclflo company charges such exorbitant freight rates on thex bark when it Is shipped here.

"y :" : POLITICS IN LINN GRADUALLY SHAPING , (Journal Special Serrlea.) Albany. Or.. Feb. 12. Politics In Linn county are gradually shaping and here and there one can see a small streak of daylight breaking through the usual mist and occasionally r a candidate emerges from the political Jungles to declare his intentions, "i Everything on the surface is serene ana sraooin, ; uuv It would not kake muli of a prophet to M ' . . . ... loreoant , approauuug -::. Muiiyw, . mmu many a frail hope or aspiration will be submerged and lost forever. ,. Both sides are equally -reticent, and the leaders profess .utter ignorance or any pians, and from surface indications one might ba lead to believe that the day of elate less campaigns was here, if the records of previous conflicts were- not at nana. The 'Decomcrats will make a stubborn fight- in county affairs; and are -planning to nominate their- strongest men- to every office. .The Third Judicial district also offers, a chance of success, and au effort will be made to name able , at torneys to fill : these positions. ! Just wno tne men wm oe is nam to deter mine, ; for. active ' candidates ' for dis trict nominations' in the ranks of Dem ocracy are scarce. " - Their Republican brethren, however, are furnishing plenty of .diversion in the district,, and candidates ''are numer ous. To the list heretofore published Attorney I K. Adams of Salem can be added, and he has been calling on tlio "tried and true" during the past week. Congressional Situation. The congressional situation from- a Republican standpoint Is in a chaotic condition at present and the memorable convention at Eugene, last April win not be a circumstance to the approach ing contest, if the rivalry among the prominent candidates . is a forerunner of the fray. Congressman Binger Her mann will probably be a candidate for renomlnation, although his most inti mate friends say that he has not signi fied his desire to again represent the First district In Washington. Hon. L. TV, Harris of Eugene Is mentioned, and in all probability will make an active race against his old-time friend, the Hon. Binger. Harris , had . an itching for the plact last spring, and at one tlmo his supporters tried to stampede the convention for him, but the ruse did not work 'and the Lane county delegation was compelled to return to Hermann or assist in nominating a new man, and the'y took the former course. The breakaway of the Harris people from Hermann almost resulted In his undo ing, Snd the Douglas county man is re ported to have a knife away down deep in his wearing apparel for the favorite son of Lane county. Just how far the influence of Hermann will extend is uncertain,, but It la safe to say ' that if Harris la nominated it will be with out the support of the present con gressman, wheyier he Is a candidate or not. Hqn George C, Brownell of Clack amas county will probably make a bid for the influence that Hermann can control, but the average voter has not learned of the integrity and wisdom possessed by the astute and wily dic tator of Clackamas politics, conse quently does not appreciate his heart to-heart professions of sincerity and friendship. Hon. Walter L. T ooze of Woodburn has been mentioned, and if he - makes ' the race would find many supporters in the valley counties. Hon. S. B. Huston of Washington county, snd Hon. W. I. Vawter of Jackson, are being talked . about in connection with the place, but from ' the outlook the fight will be a three-cornered one at first, with Hermann, Harris and Brown ell making an active campaign for the honor. The nominee, however, may not be one of this trio, for combinations in politics, like, piecrust, are easily broken. . . . KOBTHWBBT STEWS XV BBXB7.
