ROCERIES ARE AN ABSOLUTE
necessity to every human being.
From the day vou enter the world
until the day you leave it you have
to patronize, directly or indirectly, some
grocery store. You have to eat to keep
alive. Among the earliest lessons taught
in life is a regard for your diet, by select
ing only fresh and wholesome food, and a
regard for your purse by practicing the well
established rules of economy. We can sell
you fresher and better goods and more of
them for cash than you can buy elsewhere
on open account. Look over our stock,
get our prices, and be convinced.

W all and Riprapplng Soon to Be
Completed Flood Gate to Be In
stalled at Dyers' Tall Race.
The work on the embankment for
the extension of the levee to the Mat
lock Island is now completed and by
next week It is expected that the toe
wall work and the lower riprapplng
will be completed. The remainder of
the riprapplng can then t? completed
at leisure.
The levee has been extended a dis
tance of "50 feet and the work Is now
so well advanced that there will be
little danger from high water.
The wing wall at the upper end has
now been extended a distance of 500
feet and It Is now probable that It
will not be extended further for want
of funds. The toe wall and part of
the riprapplng on the wing wall Is
now completed.
Several weeks ago It was announc
ed by Councilman Joe Ell, chairman
of the levee committee, that the
wing wall would be built down as far
as the railroad bridges this fall. How
ever, that plan has been abandoned
and the remainder of the extension
will have to be made some future
year.
Most of the repair work along the
levee between the Lee street bridge
and the Main street bridge has also
been completed and work Is progress
ing rapidly on the masonry under the
Main street bridge.
Will Install Flood Gate.
At the council meeting last night
a resolution was passed directing that
Contractor Betts Install the Iron flood
gate at the lower end of Byers' tall
race, the work being done as part of
his levee building contract. The pur
chase of the gate was authorized by
the council a week ago.

Must Ne I'siil In tho Repairs.
At the council meeting last night
the milk and dairy regulntlon ordi
nance was up for Its first reading
and after being read was referred to
the ordinance committee with instruc
tions to report next week. Had the
counncll not had other pressing bus
iness on hand the measure would
probably have been passed last even

tical with the one published ln this
paper several days ago and It was
listened to with close attention by the
council. Thus far no objection Wnat
ever has been encountered by the
measure.
The proposition of purchasing a fire
bell striker was again brought up by
Fire Chief Vaughan nnd after the
matter had been discussed at some
length Councilman Strain moved that
the striker be advertised for, the
specifications being supplied by the
fire chief.
The new striker will be installed
when the fire department moves Into
the city hall and It will be a much
needed improvement.
During the council meeting the fire
committee retired to consider wheth
er or not W, J. Clark should be al
lowed to repair the warehouse which
i
jwas partially burned during the
Christian church fire. After some de
liberation they reported that he be al
lowed to do so provided he use a fire
proof roofing. The recommendation
was approved by the council.

Were in Haste.
When the franchise was first pre
sented to the council the visitors were
plainly desirous of having It acted
upon speedily and seemingly hoped
to have It gone over section by sec
tion last night. However, the mayor
and council were opposed to such rap
Id progress and Mayor Murphy an
nounced that it would be referred to
(he ordinance committee,
It was then represented by Mr.
Jones that he had to leave on the
12:30 train today and he said It was
of great Importance to have the mat
ter passed upon while he was here.
Accordingly It was decided that the
ordinance committee meet at 9
o'clock this morning to go over the
proposition and that the entire coun
cil meet at 11 to take the subject up.
In the absence of one member
the ordinance committee, Mayor Mur
phy named Councilman Strain to
serve In his stead.
Following the close of the council
meeting last night the ordinance com
mittee and Mayor Murphy went in
to session and discussed the subject
among themselves for several hours.

173,000 from the subtreasury, the

Chetlan after sub Treasurer Bolden
weck refused to produce the records

THE MYERS QUARREL
SETTIED AT LAST
The Salem correspondent says of
the final settlement of the sensation
al quarrel In the Myers family of that
place:
The guardianship procedlngs
brought against Joseph Meyers, the
pioneer merchant, by his sons, Henry
and Milton, were dismissed today.
The Meyers boys paid off their ob
ligation of over $50,000 to their fath
er. The loss of the Iron box contain
ing their notes has therefore become
of little importance.
Amicable relations have been re
established among the members of
the Meyers family and, though a
family reunin has not yet been held,
It Is expected that former relations
will be resumed In a day or so.
This Is the culmination of one of
the most sensational family quarrels
ever forced upon public attention In
Oregon. Because Joseph Meyers,
over 70 years of age. declared his In
tention to wed Mrs. Zenalde Du Ret
te, hlH two sons, who had succeeded
to the proprietorship of the dry
goods store he founded, had him ar
rested on a charge of Insanity.
While the insanity proceedings were
pending, Meyers and Mrs. Du Bette
were married. Then guardianship
proceedings were filed for the purpose
of preventing Meyers from squander
ing his money.
So enraged by these attneks upon
him by his sons, Meyers determined
to tench the boys a lesson, and sent to
Salem on August 20 for his safety de
posit box, which contained notes giv
en by his sons, Milton and Henry, for
mounts' aggregating $50,000. His
Intention was to press payment of the
notes.
The box was sent by Wells Fargo
express, with a stated valuation of
$10 on the box. 'After the box
reached Fortland and before It had
been delivered to Mr. Meyers, who
was then staying there, the box was
mysteriously stolen. But Meyers se
nior demanded payment of the notes,
which payment the sons refused un
less Indemnified against loss by the
notes turning up In the hands of In
nocent holders.
While the controversy was proceed
ing over the question of Indemnity, the
facts regarding the theft of tho box
became public and hls brought the
family quarrel to a cllmnx.
