Hftrrr Qunatlnn All Should
DiKlnr'tntiil It.
On every question concerning tho
city's business, which means' the Inter
et, of lliH individual residents thereof,
there should bo n unanimity of feeling,
and as nearly as possible the puhe of
tho public should bo determined regard
ingit. There is at present n question
before the council upon which tho
property owners seem to be divided,
more so than the Ciihonicm: had
dreamed when the matter was first pre
sented. We refer to the question of the
new sewer system. PcrhapB, having
no property interests, many havo given
the question verv little thought, but it
is tho duty of all to understand the true
status of tho matter, what it Involves
and what It means to tho city, and then
determine us to tho advisability.
At a recent meeting of tho council
Councilman Wilson made a suggestion
which was just to the point, and that is
that after asesessment had been equal
ized and the amount of taxes on the
various property determined, a state
ment of the same bo sent to each property
owner with a request that an opinion or
vote bo given concerning tho matter.
It is to bn hoped tho suggestion will be
acted upon by the council, and thus let
tho people have a voico in a question
which menus much to them. While the
city's business is placed in tho hands of
tho council, it certainly is tho desiro of
tho latter to meet tho approbation of tho
citizens in this as well as other
questions. If it were not, it would bo tho
dutyjof the people to nssert their rights,
which we deem will not be found Ji'c
essary as our council has always worked
for the interest of the city, regaidless of
personal interests.
L" t tho matter be thoroughly under
stood by all, so that none may feel they
have been taxed unjustly, having been
given no voice in the matter.
Arrcstnl fur Larceny.
Constuhb Hill had a lively chase after
a fellow yesterday afternoon, and finally
succeeded in catching him this morn
ing. It will b.j remembered that some
time ngo Joe KerchofT had a saddle
stolen from his horse, and could find no
clow to the thief. A few days since he
saw a man riding down the street and
recognizing his saddle, asked htm where
he got it. The man answered that he
bought it from one C. E. Obrist, who
has been employed as janitor by Mux
Vogt. Immediately Joe informed the
sherirTand Hill was put onto his track.
He located him at a friend's house in
the pines above the city, and spent yes
terday afternoon chasing him up, but
learning that he was wanted he succeed
ed in invading tlie officer.
Hill, however did not give him up, but
finding that he had secured a room on
the boat and intended to leave this morn
ing, was on hand. The officer went to
tho door of his stateroom and finally de
luded him into opening the door. Ho
haji shaved his mustache and arranged
his hair so that it was difficult lo recog
nize, him. He gave his namo as Camp
bell and said he was traveling for a. hard
ware firm in Portland, and had come in
from Dufur the night before. Hill, how
over would not be fooled and commanded
his man to follow him, marched him to
tho county jail . Ho was still persistent
but was arratgend on a charge of larceny
and, putting up $100 bonds ho was re
leased and his hearing eut for this after
noon ut 2 o'clock when it was postponed
until Saturday at 10.

Shu went to tho meet in' and voted fer

the law allows her to do that very thimr,
belu' as she's got propity in her name.
I give her a tulkin' to about it, and Mr.
