Fie From The Dalles.
met
said,
Some very fine figs, of large size and
excellent flavor, have been received here
from The Dalles, where they were grown
by Mr. Emit Schanno, fruit commis
sioner, and are fully equal to any figs
received from California. The country
around The Dalles does not strike one
passing through on a train as anything
extraordinary; but it resembles a singed
cat, in being better than it looks. Can
taloupes of excellent quality are being
received from there, peaches have been
coming in for some time. They raise
early strawberries there, tomatoes and
fine egg plant, and send many kinds of
early vegetables to this market. These
products are equal to those of California,
and reach the market in much fresher
and better condition. Oregonian. .'

At the regular monthly council meet
ing last night all the councilmen were
present except A. R. Thompson, who is
at the coast. Mayor Menefee presided.
The committee to whom was referred
the petition of J. M. Patterson that the
Vogt opera house be licensed $3 per
night or $15 per week reported favorably
to granting it. The report was adopted.
The committee on fire and water re
ported on the matter of placing a hre
plug near the D. P. & A. X. warehouse I
that it be not placed. Report adopted.
The reports of officers and bills were
then read. Among the latter was a bill
from the city water works' for $352 for
seven months and $32 for one month's
water rent, which were voted upon and
allowed separately. It seeme that the
bill had not been presented for over a
year, owing to a request by the council
during the time the bonds were being
sold. There was no objection to allow
ing the bill. Councilman Ross summing
up the sentiment of the council by say-
ung, "it was like taking it out of one
socket and putting it in another."
The marshal presented a report cover
ii ig needed sidewalk repairs, about a
d azen or fifteen property owners being
terested. These were ordered to be
otified that the walks were dangerous
'and should be repaired.
A proteBt from James McGinty against
dumping garbage near his premises was
referred to the marshal.
At this point the mayor said he un
derstood the firemen had a request to
make and that it would be now in order
to listen to anything they had to say.
Mr. Roger Sinnott responded by eaying
that the department needed 500 feet of
new hose; that while it was not for the
racing tournament, yet since it was
needed, he should be glad if it could be
purchased in time for use at the tourna
ment. Engineer Brown was called
upon for a statement, and corroborated
Mr. Sinnott, particularizing upon the
matter under discussion. The ' hose
which the city purchased last was not so
good as the old hose. What was needed
was a lighter weight hose, of greater re
sistance, and he recommended the pur
chase of 500 feet of hose, a sample of
which had been receivedr costing $1 per
foot, which was lighter weight, but of
greater resistance than the hose already
purchased. Mr. Brown also favored the
pnrcbaee of some more suction hose for
the Jackson engine and said in case of
fire none of the hose now in use was re
liable. The matter was referred to the
committee on fire and water with power
to act.
The mayor again brought up the mat
ter of the appointment of marshal. Mr.
Nolan moved that another vote be taken
on the confirmation of the mayor's ap
pointment. It resulted ' in a tie. four to
four. Mayor Menefee expressed some
doubt as to whether or not the charter
intended that the mayor should have
the power of casting the deciding vote,
but after some deliberation concluded
that he had, and cast his vote for the
affirmative. This settled the marshal-
ship question, temporarily at least, but
does not clearly establish who will occu
py lhe office of marshal. Blakeley de
clares lie will not give it up under
existing circumstances.

THE INSTITUTE.
When yog mmt to bay
Has ProTed Very Helpful to the Teach
ers in Attendance.
.The cool weather the past two weeks
has been very favorable to the normal
institute work. Topics are assigned in
each branch for the following day's
work, and those in attendance are kept
busy preparing for the coming recita
tion. Those most ready to acknowledge
the opportunity the institute has afford
ed them to prepare for county and state
examinations, as well as better prepar
ing them for the profession of teaching,
are the ones in attendance.
Any person having received a first,
second or third grade county certificate
in one county shall not be granted a
eecond paper of the same grade in any
county in the state, and said county cer
tificates are good only in the county
where issued. A person having re
ceived a third grade county certificate
and going into another county to teach,
must pass the examination for the next
higher grade, namely, a second grade
certificate. . It is expected that teachers
ehall keep advancing in the grade of
certificates. '
The above ruling of our state superin
tendent proves that there is a constantly
growing demand for more thorough and
efficient preparation on the part of our
teachers, and the best are sure to gain
the front ranks in the great profession.
It is gratifying to know that the general
public appreciate the effort that teachers
are making along this line. Following
are the new names added to the register
yesterday and to-day: I. H. Hill, Flor
ence Davis, Heeter Rusk, Maud Peabody,
Nellie Hudson, Chas Elery, Dollie G.
Mosier. Dasie E. Allaway and Kate
Cooper.
Visitors present were, Mrs. Dr. Shack
elford, Mrs. J. W. Lewis, Mrs. Davis,
Mrs. Gilbert, Mrs. A. Henderson ; Miss
es Katie Sargent, Emma Ehrck, May
Elton, Lizzie Schooling, Sand rock and
Minnie Ssndrock.
The topics taken up in the different
branches today are as follows :
Theory Qualifications of the teacher.
Physiology Anatomy, physiology and
care of the eye.
United States , History "Charac
teristics of great men.'' The Foli
lowing were discussed : . Washington,

theory?.
