Accident on th Klier,
The Union Pacific boat, tiie
Modoc, in reaching her wharf laet
evening, at the fcot of broaualh'ti
street, swung town the river too
near the shore and ran against
the ferry cable. The collision
almost capsized the steamboat,
and tore the smoke stack off. No
other serious damage was done.
The cable was plenty high enough
to admit the passage of boats, but
was drawn down lower near the
shore by the ferry Imat, and the
steamer going too near the bank
ran against it.

STATEMENT FROM MS- DOBROILLE.
To Tin E iroR or li'sHimi d:
In Mayor Cowan's card pub
lished yesterday, speaking of the
7."0 paiil D. B. Monteith for the
right of way over the "low lands"
and of the award, he says, "It xas
not the judgment of the council
but they aeiuievc;d."
The arbitrators seem to have
beeu called as a matter of form
only. When I was selected the
contiact between Mr. Monteith
and the city had already been
draw n up and signed on the part
of the city by Recorder X. J. Hen
ton and by Mr. Monteith, agree
ing to submit the matter to arbi
tration, and it h d been iurth-r
agreed verbally between the city
and Mr. Monteith that he was to
r ceive the sum of $750 for the
rij;ht of way over his property in
question, and neither would he
submit to arbitrators being ap
pointed until the city made such
agreements and I was so instruct
ed by Mr. Monteith at the time.
And therefore, all we had to do
was to concur in the results al
ready agreed upon between them.
If the aiiret mi nt did aot express
the councils' judgment, as the
mayor asserts, who e did it ex

THE GUI G0VEMHE8T.
To TIIK E TUTOR OF TUB IlKR al D:
lam glad that the Honorable
Mavor concedes that the "citizens
of fiis city are entitled to a full
statement touching all the charges
raised bv the interested kickers."
It is a "full statement touching all
the charges," remember, tLat we
are entitled to. And let in note
as we advance in what manner,
and how very candidly the Mayor
deals in detail with every charge
and insinuation made by the un
dersigned, as well as other "inter
ested kickers," I may have been
in error :n regard to the cost of
the Ferry street sewer. 1 did not
have access to the records, but the
main point was that no sewer
w hatever was necessary on that
street, as nearly all the property
on the street was already supplied
with Fewer connection? . On this
part of the charge the Honorab'e
Mayor is silent. It is conceded
then that the original charge is
true, that this sewer was unneces
sary. So that we have an admis
sion here that $7000 of the peoples
money lies buried in its sandy
depth's.
The Honorable Mayor refers to
the item of $1500 p tid to the en
gineer foi locating the site for the
bridge, and evidently tries to shift
the responsibility for this expen
diture upon the enoulders of ''Mr
A. Hackleman, S. E. Young and
Dr. MaBton, acting for the citizens
direct." That these gentlemen
took EOine part in and about the
survey is not questioned, and it
may be conceded that under the
circumstances a survey was proper.
Hut the Hiut of objection is, that
the amount paid was unreasonable
and extravagant, and jut of alt
proportion for the h 'rvices actually
performed. And that was the act
of the council alone no divided
responsibility here. This fact is
not mentioned by the Honorab'e
Mayor, and yet he is "dealing in
detail with every charge and in
sinuation." No one objects to the electric
liht system It is an imptove
ment of which the city is justly
proud; but when the Honorable
Mayor insinuates, but does not
da'e assert, that the cost is less
than the other cities in the val
ley, he only demonstrates that
he has reached a point when g e.it
caption is necessary. 1 charged
that Albany paid more for street
lights than any other civy in the
valley, and propose now to make
it good. Portland pays $!.72 per
mouth for arc lights, Oregon City
pays $10 per mouth lor each.
Salem pays the same as Ocgon
City, Eugene and Corvallis pay $'.)
each, and Albany pays $12.50.
Thee facts themselves show in
what manner our honorable mayor
makes a full st.i'ement touching
ail the charges and points r.iised.
I do not like to contradict the
statements of the distinguished
uiayr. It would not be courte
ous to do so, nor would it aid iu
bring. ng to light facts which is all
I swek in writing these letters, but
w hen facts audit the sale ol the
bonds are placed candidly before
your readers, evcy one must judge
for himself in what attitude the
chief executive officer of Ihe city
has placed himself. The bids for
ttie bonds were made and a
cepted, thus cosing the contract
for their sale, before the honora
ble louneilman fiom the second
ward made his two pilgrimages to
the city of San Francisco.
Whence the necessity of his going?
A tax-ridd n city demands an
fcnswtr. lieinember the mayor
says we are entitled to a "full
stannent," but more and worse
still, "the judgment of the coun
cil was, under the circumstances,
that the member should at least he
repaid the money expended in per-
ectini; the sale of the issue.
There it is, "at least to l repaid
the money expended." The
council ctiuandeied at least $500
n making this repayment. No
loiibt the council required an
teuiized statement of the amount
expended. Now let us have the
items. Kememher we po-r kick
ers" are entitled to a full state
ment. Do not therefore disap-
ioint us in so reasonable a request,
f the people got value received
for this item they no doubt would
he rendered happy bv being in-
foimed in whit manner and when
they reie.ved it. The mayor
omitted to date whether any of
the city officials are interested' in
the slock of the electric l'ght
company, and apparently forgets
to explain why ttiey paid a San
Francisco lawyer $L'50 for drawing
up a single ordinance, or to state
wny they did r.ot let the contract
for the sewer in the eastern part
of the ciiy to the lowest bidder as
rriiuired by law. He seems to
think that because it was not let
to a Por land firm that is a suffi
cient explanation. The people
are thoroughly aroused and in
making these inquiries. It will
not quiet them to cili them
"kickers." It is said theieisa
time for all tlrngs and truly the
time to "kick ' has arrived.

ABOUT THAT ARBITRATION.
To tiii Fitor or Tin lit rald.
Concerning the commen's Dub
inin d in yesterday's issue of t! s
Hekai.d in regprj to the award to
the Monteith heirs I de;re to say
that before I consented to act as
one of the arbitrators I was as
sured by two members of the city
council who requested me io act,
that the city had agreed as to the
amount to' be awarded, end that
the socalled arbitration was a mere
matter of form to carry tiie agree
ment into effect in the mot expe
ditious way. That $750 was the
amount arranged, as to the actual
value of the land. There is room
for a diftVcnce of opinion, and I
have no apology to make concern
my actions. Kespectfully,
E. W. Languon.
Supreme Judge.
The Salem Journal prognosti
cates on the subject as follows :
The term of Judge Strahan expir
ing next his successor will be
chosen at the next election. It is
not known whether he will he a
candidate to succeed himself or
not. A prominent democrat in
the city from Portland to day Fajs
that city has no candidate.
Judge Bennett, late circuit judge
at The Dalles, and Judge Bonham,
of Salem, are mentiontd as pos
sible candidates, in the tense that
they may be nominated on the
democratic ticket.
A President on Foreign Soil
Andrew Johnson was the only
president that ever stood on for
eign soil while holding office. It
appeared duiing theyear famous
"swing around ttie circle," in 1870,
while visiting Niagara faPs, when
he went in a carriage to the Cana
dian side. The president did no'
think at the time that fie had
iolated a precedent, and it oc
curred to him only wiien he had
returned fo his hotel and was
alone with his secretary who
promised to keep the matter
secret.
A Spirit of KnterprUe.

Hot
Lessons
MUSIC
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder possesses a peculiar
merit not approached by that of any other baking powder.
It produces the hot buckwheat, Indian or wheat cakes, hot
biscuit, doughnuts, waffles or muffins. Any of these tasteful
things may be eaten when hot with impunity by persons of
the most delicate digestive organs. Dr. Price's Cream Bak
ing Powder leavens without firmentation or decomposition.
In its preparation none but the purest of cream of tartar, so
da, etc. is used, and in such exact equivalents as to always
guarantee a perfectly neutral result, thereby giving the natu
ral and sweet flavor peculiar to buckwheat and other flour
that may be used, the natural flavor so much desired and ap
predated by all. The oldest patrons of Dr. Prices powder tell
the story, that they can never get the same results from any
other leavening agent, that their griddle cakes, biscuits, etc.
are never so light and never taste so sweet or so good as
when raised with Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powder.
STATEMENT FROM MR. TABLER.
To nir. Editor or tiii I1krali.
"Something," I do not know
(that it is or whether "it has a
name," has been us ng your col
umns for nearly a week over the
"nom de plume" of Citizen and
Taxpayer, which certainly is a
"misnomer," as it is fair to as
sume that when the assessor comes
around "it" always has indebted
ness enough to offset the assess
ment and pays but little, if any,
taxes, but as the mayor has re
plied to the questions seriatim and
from the record. I only wish to
answer one or two that are per
sonal to myse'f.
First. The sewer system as
recommended by the city surveyor,
VV. B. Barr, on Maple, Ferry and
Madison streets was adopted by
the council, myself alone objecting
to the Ferry street location, and
I have urged the location of the
same on Washington street at all
tinits. ret scheme, "eh." Such
misrepresenting facts and such
gross igno ance makes the "mind
grow weary" to contemplate.
Again, I am charged with
the great crime of sell
ing luml er for one dollar lees
on the thousand than others sell
it, but an I have never directly or
indirectly eold one foot of lumber
to 'the city, that aicisa ion fell
to j flat. What I sold to the pul -lie
they were certainly benefitted
that much and 1 hope in the near
future to be able to perpetrate the
same crime. Every official act of
mine for the last five years has
been for the best interests of the
city, of Dixie as well as Piety
Bidge. The only one act t hat 1
have regretted, and would want to
j-ecll, is the voto to give certain
oartit s $750 for the right of way
tor the bride over certaiu worth
less, overflowed land at the foot of
Calapooia street, but that was
forced on us at a time when the
parties knew we were at their
mercy, and we thought best to pay
that sum rather than have the
work stop on the bridge at that
fine. Truly the mine increases
in richness as it is worked, and
the "mind again grows weary."
