Crops : Rain is badly needed for the
cereal crops, esjecially for that sown in
spring plowed land. Only in unusually
favored years does the cereal crop yield
any good crop when it is sown in spring
plowed land. The summer fallow and
fall sown grain is most promising, and
will not be injured by the absence of
rain; but it would be materially bene
fitted by rain. Tho present outlook
indicates only a fair wheat crop in
Wasco, Gilliam, Morrow and Raker
counties; in all the counties, however,
the late spring sown will not make one
half a crop, and much of it will most
likely be cut for hay unless a good
heavy rain should occur soon. The
fruit prospects me good in Union county,
mid in the Snake river country ; they are
fair in the other sections. I(i"vim

Aid. Ivheliiiun then called attention
j to the thistles, which should be de
stroyed at once, to prevent them seed
ing; and it appearing that there was an
ordinance on (he books concerning
jthem, the nuttier w,;i referred to the
j marshal for enforcement.
1 The mayor then said .
j Gentlemen of the council, I am
not prepared with n set speech
j this evening as to the needs of the city
l of The D.illc.-i. I am not sufficiently
j familiar as yet with the condition of af
fairs now existing; but will from time
to time "peak of them asthey occur
to me in the courti' of my administra
tion as your mayor. I will say that I
am not surprised that the city is in debt.
The great lire and its wholesale destruc
tion is known; then the removal of the
shops tiioi; away a great share of the
revenue which was materially helpful.
The fact exists that the present debt of
the city is .:j;j,000, which is several
times greater than the law really allows,
and which is so staggering at the outset,
that we must make up our minds to not
increase the indebtedness by another
dollar, but rather diminish it, which
1 hope will be accomplished by
the completion of the fiscal year.
There are some things I wish to speak
of, however, which have already come
under my observation and which I trust
will be remedied, and can be remedied
at no great expense. Thero are a few
cess pools which the marshal should
compel the ow ners of the lots they are
in to fill up. They are a standing me
nace to the health of the city and the
! cost of tilling them would bo acompara
i tively small amount. Another matter
j that has come to my attention is that
there are a good many houses adjacent
j to sewers, w hich are not connected with
j them, and a good many more where
; sewers are already laid which are not at
i tached. The owners of the'e should be
I compelled to attach as soon aa possible.
Then the termination of all the sewers
should be carricl to deq water; that is
below the low water mark in the river.
A notable instance is the sower back of
the Uuion street lodging house, which
is frightful and to allow it to remain so
is little short of murder. I have no
doubt that several deaths can bo traced
to this one sewer. This can bo reme
died at slight expense to each taxpayer.
In regard to a new sewer 'up Washing
ton street, while there is urgent call for
it, it will perhaps be better, consider
ing the condition of our finances, to
postpone it for a while. However it
should receive the needed consideration
at the hands of the proper committee.
Many new buildings have been and are
being erected which are connected with
the sewer all right, but which are not
provided with a vent, a simple and in
expensive contrivance for shutting out
the sewer ga, which without it is to all
intents and purposes as bad as no sower
at all. Many cities command these vents
to be put in as a necessary part of the
work. In regard to dangerous flues the
ordinance providing brick flues within
fire limits, or of tin under certain con
ditions, should be rigidly enforced. As
to delinquent taxes I shall insist upon
these being all collected. Then there
are from 10,000 to 15,000 dogs in the
town which are unlicensed. I shall in
sist upon the collection of dog licenses.
Aid. Kreft, at the conclusion of the
mayor's remarks, spoke of the increase
of taxes which would bo collected this
year, because of the now laws, knocking
out the indebtedness clause.
Aid. Hudson spoke of unsafe cross
walks and sidewalks, stating that the in
comining street commissioner should
examine all of them and report such as
are in bad condition. A motion to that
ell'cct was carried.
J ud Fish as lire warden, referring to
the poi tion of the mayor's speech con
cerning Hues, said that the ordinance in
relation to it wan defective, and desired
that the recorder draw up n new one,
which, upon motion, was carried.
Adjourned to meet Saturday evening
