Levee repairs, street paving prob
lems, shooting gallery troubles and
divers other subjects furnished ma
terial for a tulkfeBt at the council
meeting last nlKht. As a result It was
on extended session, and during the
discussions more repartee than usual
was Indulged In.
In behalf of the levee committee.
Councilman Hlnkle. reported that the
services of two men were required In
making tests of the bedrock ulong the
levee. It Is desired by the engineers
to have the rock tested by drilling
every 100 feet, and the levee commit
tee was authorized to employ two men
for the purpose.
Another problem now confronting
the committee Is rc-gordlng the course
of the levoe below Main street and
pan the Lodnw property. If the pres
ent levee below the bridge Is to be
utilized, then the engineers s:iy a
grnduul curve at the Lndow place will
be necessary, thus taking In a portion
of CI. 7. Ladow's property.
The only alternative for the above
course would be to build a new levee
from the Falling property straight
down the river. Joining the remaining
levee below Inflow's. This would ne
cessltate a heavy expense and conse
quently the plan Is not likely to be
adopted.
Falling In Street.
John McCourt. city attorney, report
ed that Jesse Falling had complained
regarding his pnvlng assessment, say
Ing that part of the frontage assessed
to him belongs to the city. This
brought on a discussion of what
should be done regordlng the Falling
properly when the pavement Is laid.
By his encroachments Mr. Falling has
taken In a part of the street and has
been using some of the city's bridge
ground for a flower garden.
While no action was taken last
night. It was the sentiment that the
street nt that .point should he paved
for the full width, thus necessitating
the removal of the Falling front and
of the stairs and walk In front of his
property.
A petition asking for a street light
at the point where Marie street crosses
the O. Tt. & N. track, was presented

mittee. Mayor Fee named Councilman
Thompson to serve upon the following

temporary recorder to serve for two

Fit Gerald.
Reports of the treasurer, recorder

lllnkle Raises Cain.
At the request of Ed Emmerson.
proprietor of the shooting gallery and
cane rack attraction on Webb street,
Councilman Hlnkle presented a plea
for a lower license on the cane rack
and knife features. At present $10 a
week Is charged for the operation of
a cane rack and knife rack, and this
Mr. Hlnkle declared was prohibitive.
"I would advise him to hold a tri
angle sale of the knife and cane
racks," suggested Mayor Fee, and It
was agreed by all that such a scheme
would make a "racking" sale.
Councllmna Murphy said he
thought the object of the tax was to
be prohibitive, and said the high li
cense suited him perfectly.
The matter was then dropped, no
action being taken on the request.

Woman Says She Saw Deceased Man
Knocked Down and Kicked.
Moscow, Aug. 2. Two arrests were
made this evening as the result of
the death of David Colyer. Roy Tay
lor and W. J. Hli reeves, with whom he
was lust seen alive at an early hour
this morning, were placed In Jail by
Chief of Police Healh on a charge of
manslaughter and will be held pend
ing an Investigation by the coroner.
Colyer was worth $8000, suld to
have been left by his mother, and has
been wasting his fortune In dissipa
tion. The opinion prevails that drink
caused his death and his father re
quested that no Inquest be held.
On Information furnished by Grace
Fleming, keeper of a house In a re
stricted district, Chief Heath decided
upon tho urrest. She declares she
suw Taylor and Hhroeves kick Colyer
after he had been knocked down by
Taylor.
No post mortem has been Held, but
a cursory examination of Colyer's
body discloses a cut on his mouth,
another over his eye and two bruises
on his body. The latter are so slight
as not to appeul to huve been caused
by kicks. The coroner has Impaneled
a Jury and an Inquest will be held In
the morning.

Fourteen Cnrlonds to Albina.
Two wheat sales of Importance, In
volving about 4 0,000 bushels, were
pnp'i''d lust evening when Will
M.Hiir, of the Pacific Coast Elevator
company, purchased the yields of John
Crow and Tierce & Tweedy. The
wheat sold by Mr. Crow Is some that
has already been threshed and
minimis to about 10.000 bushels, while
3O.00 bnshels were soi l by Messrs.
Pierce and Tweedy. While the price
paid for the above has not been given
out, It Is presumed to have been the
current one of 68 cents.
While the wheat market has been
open hut a short time In Pendleton,
considerable wheat Is known to have
been disposed of, though nothing like
general selling has commenced. E.
W. McComas of the Northwestern
Warehouse compnny, has , already
bought 75,000 bushels, and (he Ryers
mill has purchased about the same
quantity. The prices paid have been
58 cents for club, nnd 60 for blue
stem. According to Mr. McComas and
other buyers also, the bulk of tho
growers are .waiting for HO cents, and
ho believes that an advance to that
figure would bring so much on the
market that It would become glutted.
"Thnt Is the way It seems now from
what they sny," declared he this
morning, "but of course they might
change their minds and decide to
wait for- a higher price should wheat
go to 60 cents."
Also, there Is considerable Interest
being taken In the sales days to be
held under the auspices of the Wheot
rnlsers' association, and many are
holding their yields for that occasion.
In the opinion of Mr. McComas, there
will be much wheat offered for sale
at tho opening sale to be held here
next Wednesday.
First. Wheat Shipment.
What Is doubtless the first ship
ment of this year's wheat from Uma
tilla county was made recently by Mr.
McComus, when he shipped 14 car
loads from the warehouse at Portland.
The wheat was consigned to Albina. J

Tho Kerr-Glfford commission com
pany has Just sold tho last of tho old
wheat stored nt Adams for 62 Mc to
eastern buyers. The amount of the
sale will reach nbout 8000 bushels,
which will clear out the old crop and
leave the warehouses ready for the
now wheat which Is now coming In.
The Preston-Pnrton Milling company
of Athena, has also purchased 14,000
bushels of new wheat for their mill
from L. L. Rogers of near Adams, for
