History Made Quickly. ;- Probably no Infant city in the United ' States ever made local political history so quickly as the little municipality of Portland did In the year - beginning April E, 1857, and ending on the same date In 1851. During that year every councilman,' with the exception of one, resigned his seat. 'Two were reelected. One councilman was expelled for inti mating that the other legislators wars not -attending to i business. A bitter fight of six years' standing between Councilman Thomas J. Holmes, late mayor of Portland, and Bhubrick Nor rls. one of the best known men of the day," ended In the defeat of Norrls and - his forced retirement from politics, , With the exception of Charles I Hutchlns. first president of the council, all the members of the popularly elected body are dead. Mr. Hutchlns Is still hale and hearty and is actively engaged In the insurance business. The two men who fought so bitterly passed away many rears ago. Mr. Holmes died Just after - be had been elected ' mayor In street commissioner and city marshal. Whether Norrls thought Holmes was holding too many of the most remun- eratlv positions ot th city, or wheth er he believed that a man holding three offices could not properly perform the duties of any one of them is not known, but It la known that he went after Holmes pretty hard. In three month's Holmes pad presented only one report as collector, while the charter required a report from him every month. 1887.

Holmes' Subsequent Career. ni appears 10 nave oeen OX a fighting disposition. While the records ahow that Hutchlns was the parlia mentarian of the council, and a good one too. Holmes waa ths dominant figure In all Its deliberations. He first showed his hand by causing the re moval of the "city hall" from the one- story building on the north side of Alder Holmes served In subsequent councils, and on November J8T1888, he was elect ed mayor to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of the late Henry Falling. The following june ne was elected to the same otnoe By in peo- ni. hut he never entered upon uie full term. He died on June U. 1887, street to the one-story structure at 110 arfVn th. n.Tt davWbv Pira ar h i.JL. v made to the eouncfl the next day hy - ' - " .-uu ...mil ii . ,, . n U.llnl. This building, by the wsy, ,ts the only one remaining of the celebrated Kamm harks. The removal was caused by Mr. Holmes, so the story, of ths time ran, because he wanted the city hall located nearer to his own home. Holmos' next action was to force the removal of a building erected by Baum Bros, on the public levee in defiance of a decree of the territorial supreme court The building was on Front street be tween Btark and Oak. Th building was finally removed. Holmes Held Many Of flees. Three months later Holmes got a chance to, end the political career of his old enemy Bhubrick Norrls. Norrls was a member of the first council and of councils of 1858-57, when Holmes held the positions of city collector. Councilman A. B. Hallock, his old friend end fellow-councilman or tne eos. wis funeral was attended by all the United States army then stationed In Port land, city officers, clvTo and military organisations and a large number of citizens on horseback and on foot. In singular contrast was th funeral of Hallock about 17 years later. Hallock died in Tillamook and the body was brought to Portland for burial. 8o completely had he been forgotten during his long sbsenn from th city that comparatively few people knew that he had ever existed or had framed many of the early laws of Portland, had been a councilman several times, a president of the council, and a chief of the volunteer fire department. His fu neral was attended only by relatives and the pallbearers. As a producer of excitement In tne HTB TOE PRESENT CITY I1ALL. council Holmes bed a rival In the per son of P. D. W. Hardenburgh. Harden burgh has the distinction of being the first councilman to suggest the licens ing of dogs, of being one of the only two eouncllmen . ever expelled by the city legislature, and of being the first councilman to move that a mayor be deposed. The dog . license was tabled and so was his motion- to declare the mayor's office vacant. Then he insult ed the committee "on townsite entry. In debate he accused the committee of chi canery and his expulsion was moved by Councilman McEwan. He was permit ted to speak to the question and then remain outside the bar until the matter was disposed of. He .was suspended un til the next regular meeting. , Instead of staying outside the bar he reentered and resumed his seat and persisted in sddresslng the council. His action was so disrespectful that the council recon sidered the order of suspension and ex pelled him without debate. First Happenings of Council. Thi first Intimation of a caucus in the council Is given in the record of April 16, 1857. On the first ballot there was no choice for president, but unfor tunately Clerk- James W. Davis does not tea us the number or the names' of the candidates. On the second ballot Charles L. Hutchlns was elected. Mr., Davis does not give the name of his 1 opponent, but It was probably A. B. Hal lock, for it was hs who moved to mak the election unanimous, the usual cus tom of defeated candidates. The city purchased Its first fir and burglar-proof safe at a cost of 1176 and Us first seal at a cost of 880, In 1857. 4 1 he yeas and naya were first required on V.i passage of all ordinances under a ruie adopted on May 6, 1857. i First street, 'from Jefferson to Ash, was graded and planked In 1867. ' Ordinances- were first ordered reed three times and then, either engrossed or referred In 1867. A big gulch existed at Front and Jefferson strtets In 1867, and the ooun cll ordered a bridge built across It. Four water cisterns were built for th fire department at a cost of 1175 each In 1857. Henry Caaon waa the builder. The cisterns were located at Second and Alder, Second and Yamhill, Third and Morrison and Second and Stark. .'. , Salmon, Taylor, Tamhlll, Alder, Stark, Oak and Pine 'streets, from Front to First, were first ordered improved In 1857. . Th council proposed that a watch- house, (r-r a Jail) be built as a "place of confinement of offenders. , Signboards for all streets were first ordered on June 9, 1857." No steps were taken to number buildings. Th first deadlock In the history of th city occurred la 1887. Councilman B 'F Goodwin had resigned, and H took, eight ballot to select his suc cessor, Stephen Cofflnj one' of the town proprietors. Coffin's opponent were D. H. Lownsdala, another town proprietor; A. D. Shelby, Shubrlok Norrls, M. Pat ton, Spear, Holraan and Dr. A. O. denry. Henry, Norrls and Hol man were - brought tn on the seventh ballot In order to break the deadlock. The council of August 11, 1857.1 found Itself without a quorum, aa several of the members had left the chamber. The marshal, S. R. Holoomb, was ordered to brine in tne absentees. After a search of the city he reported that he could not And any of them. Th city was unable to pay the costs of maintaining the levee suit in 1857, and ordered a tax of 1H mills in order to raise a fund for that purpose. A tax of two mills for th malnte nance of a permanent polio force was voted In 1867. - Bids lor the removal of "88 dead bodies from the certain streets to the city cemetery," wer ordered advertised for in 1857. The streets ran through the old graveyard. ' President ' Hutchlns resigned . from the council 1st in 1867, and was given a. vote of thanks Tor the able manner in which he had presided at th meetings. Councilman Hallock succeeded him In the chair. A month later Mr. Hutchlns was reelected to the council. In 1867-8 the city marshal was paid 138 a month for attending the meeting of the council. In th early part of 1868 th compensation of the council man was fixed at 83 a meeting. Division Into Wards. . The city was not divided Into wards until February 88, 1868. On motion of Councilman King U BRIGANDAGE, THE, TRADE OF TRIBES - 1 - i i ' THX bold, bad bandit of the oper . , atle type la by no means extinct even In Anno Domini 1907. A very choioe specimen - died in Corsica a few days ago. Many - a tourist has listened tremblingly to the blood-curdling tales of this "ga and gallant bandolero," by name Bellacoscla, who for over 60 year has been ravag ing Corsica, holding travellers to ran som and the peasantry to tribute. The - exploits of Balsull, the bearded Robin Hood of Morocco, are still fresh In the , jmbllo memory and It will be easy "to cite . recent Instances of .picturesque brigan dage In Spain. Italy.j'SIcIly, Greece, Tur key and the Balkanis. .r Corsica, the paradise of the bandit, will be like the Garden of Eden without old Adam now thar Bellacoscla Is 1 no ' more. The vivacious old gentleman (he . died aged 83) was outlawed because ?f a ' love adventure In hi gjddy youth., He wanted to marry a pretty peasant girl, but her father said him nay, whereupon he fled with his lady love to the mountains, pursued thither by the girl's father and i brothers; he doubled on bis -tracks in the : night and shot down every man of them, to the number of half a dozen. ' Thenceforward he played the very Bobln Hood in Corsica. Whole regiments ' of soldiers were dispatched against him, Always unsuccessfully, the French gov ernment spending no less than 175,000 In efforts to lay him By the heels. Four I times he was condemned to death by de " fault atid for four years a fierce guer illa warfare was carried on with the ob ject of capturing him. At last he sur rendered, but such was his renown that, v although he had committed innumer-j alita crimes and lopped Oft scores of c ears and noses, the Jury at Bastla sc . quitted him. And now he has ended his i .wicked dajr In peace. Brico had carried on a vendetta since 1876. Because his uncle disinherited him, leaving his fortune to his widow, Brico assassinated the widow. Re prisals from the woman's family fol lowed; there were several murders, and finally Brico fled from Justice, declar ing that be would extlrmlnate the whole family. ; . He ruthlessly carried out his threat. Members of the family left their homes to escape his vengeance, but they were always pursued by the brigand and his followers, and sooner or later were found to have been murdered. , Oh, what a happy land is Corsica! 1 And oh, what a pleasant place is Morocco! There the bold, bad bqndlt is such a power in the lijnd that great nations like Britain and fhe United States have actually hap- tosend war- amps tu jrigHien nun. Not that he consents to be frightened. As Lord Salisbury remarked at a time when the AnJera brigands were partic ularly keen on ransoms, "Warships can not climb mountains" referring to th many high hills which lay, between our battleships and th brigands' eyries. So little, indeed, do the swarthy Mo roccan bandits care, for battleships that they have actually kidnaped and held up to ransom two British' naval officers. ; Over' Thirty Murders.

An even more terrible Corsica n brigand named Brico Ws shot In 1903. Fur more than a quarter of a century Brico levied toll on the wealthy at the threat of assas-Mnstlon.-"He "topped at no crime, and at least 80 deaths were attributed to his Brigandage a Trade. Brigandage is a trade in lawless Md rocco. Practically the wnole Anjera tribe of 16,000 people?1 Is given up to it The king . of , modern bandits, Ralsuli, had an armed force of ' 6,000 brigands, furnished with Mauser and Remington rifles. . Their recent explbits comprise the capture near. Tangier of Mr. Ion Perdt carls and Mr. Verlay, and the "Times? correspondent, Mr. Harris. In the Perdicarls case; the bandits were able to force their terms upon th sultan of Morocco.- A ransom Of 11,000 pounds had to b paid, and Raisull's tribesmen In prison released, before th kidnaped gentlemen were set at liberty. In the spring of 1906 they captured the French explorer, the ' Marquis of Segonsao, and exacted a ransom of 360 for his .release. In June, 1904, they at tacked and murdered Mr. Madden, the Austrian vice-consul, at his residence at Masagan. In January, 1906, they descended on the . residence of Lady Drummond-Hay1, near Tangier, over powered the guard and carried off many valuable. Ralsuli is a great bandit. Murder, incendiarism, cattle -lifting, robbery, hay all been freely committed by him. He has even besieged a town with his outlaws and brought it to his feet And he is a gentleman with It all. Big, handsome, well-educated, of pol ished mien and graceful manners. It Is impossible not to like him. Mr. A. J. Dawson describes him as "the most straightforward and kindly hearted native gentleman It has been my good fortune to have known. " Mad ame du Oast, the French lady explorer, makes a point of insisting on his court liness and popularity. Even his vic tim, Mr. Perdicafls, says he is "a dis tinctly manly character, superior to any of the Moroccan officials. The latest news from Ralsuli, how ever Is not comforting to his eulogists. At the beginning of the present month he sent a message from his mountain retreat to the Times correspondent at Tangier, saying that he intends event ually to rebuild his house at Zlnat with the bodies and bones of the soldiers and tribesmen who at the sultan's or ders destroyed it! Which is pretty strong language to come from a "kindly-hearted native gentleman!" , The Tender Turk. The mild and tender Turk 1 still an adept at the gentle' art of brigandage. Whole villages In. Turkey are sometimes forced by bands , of brigands to pay blackmail as security against molesta tion, in Asiatic Turkey the Bagdad roads are Infested by banditti, who fall upon the caravana of pilgrims and re lieve them of the costly gifts they are taking as offerings to th sacred cities. The best. known instance of Turkish brigandage Is that of the American missionary, Miss Stone, who was cap tured -In 1901, and held in bondage.-for six months a little' affair which cost the Turkish government a ransom of 1120.000. ,r y-i- v Numerous stories ar toia or trav elers held tip to ransom by ruffians who Cue in , ' the , caves ana mountains qi Albania. Fierce-looking -creatures they are, with their heads tied up with black cloths, their beards matted, their kilts, which should b snow-white, black and arlmy. their breasts covered with cu rious silver ornaments, and their long coats shaggy and torn. - They have aw ful bulldog faces, and their language is horrible, - - And they are perfect walking arsenals.-,- A Oreek gentleman, who was captured In 1902, says that each mem ber of the band into whose clutches he fell carried a Oras rifle, ' about 200 rounds of ammunition, a yataghan, or curved aword, an army revolver and a dagger! ,,. . - : Brigandage is rampant An Armenia, Reumania and Macedonia. Here are a tew examples which have occurred dur ing th last three yeara At Kasa Kitchievo, Macedonia, a Moslem brigand chief named Islam cut off the ears and slit th cheeks of many Christian inhabitants because he was unable to extort money from them Baiifl, anotner brigand chler, seised a prbminent resident of ; Monastlro, and demanded a high ransom from his rela tives. . This was not ' forthcoming, and the captive was tortured to death by the most horrible mutilations. A beautiful girl brigand committed murders wholesale In Roumania four years ago., , ;.;.., : :'. , She was only 22, very -handsome and dressed in the height of fashion. A perfect rider, and a crack shot, she led a company of bandits on all their expe ditions. Houses were attacked at night sacked and pillaged, the occupants cru elty used and, in cases where ' they showed resistance, murdered. - ' The girl brigand was atrociously cruel. Not content with massacring her victims, she frequently had them j lorxurea Derore putting tnem to death. She delighted in Inventing refinements of cruelty. . , , .:y - She secured 180,000 worth of plunder from the residence of one landowner. The authorities credited her with 88 murders, 198 other crimes of violence, and 648 cases of plundering and rob- Dery, . , .,, . - --' . Brigandage is still rife In Sardinia, where not so long ago the murders by banditti averaged a eoupl of hundred yearly. Samuel Welle, F. R. O. 8., waa told on arriving there recently that brigandage .was ancient history; but whll he was staying atTortoli, th chief port of the Island, a band of out laws entered the town and sacked th leading citizen's house under th Very eyes of the police, killing two men who resisted them. , . Picturesque Attire. .-..In th first paper Mr. Wells bought on arrival he saw a paraaraDh to th Jefeot that th well-known brigand Mula, after killing a eoupl of people, had affixed a notice to the church door at Oliena forbidding- anyone "to work for, buy the produce of, or take the farms" of certain families, under the penalty of having to pay dearly for th privilege. Another paragraph, referring to a band of brlganda who had been surrounded during an affray., naively ooncluded: ' "The fugitives 1 from th police fortunately escaped." During hi visit Mr. Wells heard astounding stories of hereditary hatreds and long and sanguinary vendettas, and of tragedies dally occurring among thaij peasants harassed by bandits. The pic turesque attire of these outlaws consists of .sheepskins, green leather Jacket and crimson velvet vests, with wild masses of black hair, topped by strange Physlaa caps. ' , ': Th - Italian bandits " are world-re nowned. Three yeara ago the famous brigand Carmine Donatelll Crpoco pub lished from prison his book of remlnisc ences. And he had something worth talking about, seeing that he had stood his trial for 76 attempted murders only IS of which failed and 48,000 worth of highway robberies., Antonio Roccella, one of Italy's most expert bandits, who died In 1904, enjoyed the nickname of "Moazanaal," owing to his practice of slitting the noses of all soldiers or policemen who fell into his hands.' - v Sicily has long made a specialty of brigandage. The notorloua outlaw Fran cesoo Varsalona, whose headless body was found In a wood near Palermo in 1908, had terrorised Sicily by his mur derous explolta for over 14 yeara Bold Woman Bandit Varsalona eluded an army of earbl- neera for 10-years. His last "messag' was a severed human hand stuck on i wall on which was written in letters of blood: "Varsalona. 1 Tet 1 like most bandits, he was devoutly rellgiQus, and would run any risk to get to a certain shrin of th Virgin near Castranovo, where he Considered himself under heav enly protection.';. Nevertheless, he was decapitated- by a peasant while asleep. - Only-last year to show tha present state of Sicily a desperate battle took place between monks and -.brigand at the Abbey of the-Holy Ghost at Santo Splrtto. The brigands raided tha mon astery, which possesses a priceless col lection of sacred vessels and Jewelled crosses, but th abbot, crucifix In hand. led bis monks, armed with rifles, against the outlaws, and kept them at bay, with considerable slaughter, tin assistance arrived."' - -The subjects of King Alfonso ar still th prey of banditti. Brigandage has developed to such an alarming extent in the provinces of late that orders were issued to governors " by th ministry last January that bandits are to be ahot down at sight Vehicles ar frequently neid up hy robber bands In Andalusia, ana large auma extorted from travelers. : On th Franco-Belgian frontier bri gandage la becoming so. extensive that last week th French ohamber author ised the organisation Of a special serv ice of frontier polio to cop with the evit' :(,, ., v 'i ".-.,. DOG BRINGS UP KITTENS Thfe Foster Mother Satisfied, Though Sometimes Surprised. ', From Country Life In America. Down In .Delaware City, Delaware, a young mother dog. when she turned to lick her four newborn puppies, found iney aia -not- respond to., her' tender care. They had come into the world lifeless. ., ' ; - They were her firstborn and she was puzzled and grieved that they paid no attention to th soft caresses - with which she strove to woo them to her. She finally ceased In despair and look ing about her spied a mother pussy, to whom a pair of ' healthy kittens had just arrived. ; ; ,, ...- Jealous and Indignant she flaw to the happy mother and seized and shook her till the cat fled In terror and did not return. Then the dog, taking th kit tens tenderly in her ' mouth, carried them , to her box and adopted them as her own. There were only two babies In place of four, but not betn able to count .she-did not notice the lack. The.- kittens accepted the situation. throve and waxed fat But since they sre older and have become playful their conduct sometimes astonishes their foster mother. For instance, when they chase each other up a tree she looks at them with amazement and , solicitude, apparently rerieoung xnat sue never behaved that way when, she was. a puppy -and as soon as they alight on the ground again she seizes them in her .mouth and car ries them : reprovingly back to their box.

Thla appear to have been an attempt to secure something Ilk a registry system. The polling place in the first ward was th council-room; second ward, residence of T.
