the ordinance passed by Ihoeouncil with
out unnecessary delay, and to have a better
control over the various departments of the
city government so that he will be enabled
to see tlicy all perforin their duties In a
proper manner. The need of a new charter
as drafted is such as to justify the Imnie

comply with .the prayer of the petitioner.
The largest corruption fund ever raised in
North I'akola, except that furnished by the
Louisiana Company last winter, is now on
hand to secure passage of the resubmission
bill. A majority of the saloon keepers and
lliUor dealers in that state have I sen as
sessed, and immense contributions have
been made by brewers and w hi-kyile alers
of other states. A crisis has now Nt'ii
reached irthe light for prohibition In North
Dakota, and the legislature is about evenly
divided in sentiment on tlds iieslion. The
constitution, made and adopted in 1XS0, and
the law of IKM, established prohibition, but
the enactment was set at dellance, and
liquor has been sold throughout the state
almost as openly as ever, penning the de
cision In a test case lietoro the supremo
Court. The finding of that tribunal is
against the liquor men, but still they do
not give up Ihe struggle, A very strong ele
ment in the legislature w ill push resubmis
sion. The probability is that the measure
will lie defeated. The latest canvass of
both houses show s a slight majority in favor
of the present iron-clad prohibition law.
Ievelopmonts inuy lie sonsutionul as the
fight progresses, out there Is not likely to ClZl.llHll ; p.oOand'ou.uo in forceTues
be any great scandal, most of the mcmlcr t (lay mf,rnjn, to h.-cuio the passage ol I ho
being raemphaticully committed to one si le j , nHoli.lalioii bill, hut by a htllu slip in
or the other that the boodle ol whisky men
will not lie useil very extensively or ell'ect
ivelv. Caufoknu'i Kxhibit, known by the
name of "California on Wheels," was side
iaked In Oregon City Monday hist, and as
a matter of course was visited by hundreds
of ourcitizens. It comprises two coaches
tilled with the products ol that state, lie-
aides a private car for the convenience of
those in charge. The exhibit has been out
from San Francisco fourteen months, cov
ering in that time the principal sections ol
the entire country. Tlio exhibit Is some
thing that probably can be duplicated by
but one country in the world, and thnt is
Oregon ; but this is easily accounted for in
that California Is so close to our orchards
and vineyards. California makes a very
credible showing "on wheels," and tbuuks
to the long heads of the members ol Its en
terprising board of trade, thev have turned
the eyes of many Easterners this way, but
they will feel mighty small a few yours
hence, when they see their elfurts double
discounted with an "Oregon on Wings'"
Thi severest blizzard known to that
country for years has raged throughout the
upier Mississippi valley during he past
week. Many lives have been lost and much
stock frozen to death, w bile the mercury has
raiigvd from ten to thirty degrees below
ri ro. No ni:e but those fumiliar with and
have had exprience in, can realize the se
verity of a typical Dakota blizzard. Yet
the people of the Dakntas and contigu
ous commonwealths welcome the elements
of Boreas notwithstanding the immediate
effects, and console themselves with hoping
that with a superfluity of snow now they
may be blest w ith an average crop the coin
lug season. The pluck of the people of
that country is much in excess of their gooil
sense or they would not longer subject
themselves to such unfavorable conditions,
when Oregon with glowing sunshine and
pastures green bids them welcome.
We are in receipt of an argument by
Postmaster General Wannamer in support
of, art 1 on Unconstitutionality of, the lim
1 ed Post 8nd Telegraph. The stand taken
by Mr. Wumiamakcr on this important
matter important because it concerns
every citizen of the nation, I: as fearless in
its attack on a great monopoly as it is just.
In his closing remarks he says:
"If others speak out for the telegraph
stockholders some one must stand for the
peoflle in the interest of the cheaper tcle
grapy that they want. I believe It belongs
to this Department to tukc this stand, and I
propose intelligently and persistently to
keep this subject before you in strong confi
dence that it will not bo long before your
committee will take steps to give the people
the reli prayed for."
The name of Hon. Henry Failing, of
Portland, as the possible successor of Secre
tary of the Treasury Windoni is abroad,
and is not by any means the least popular
among candidates. His name has been
unanimously endorsed by the Washington
legislature, and they have requested their
delegation in congress to support him for
the appointment. It goes without saying
that if vigorous work by our own represent
atives, backed by the unanimous voice of
Oregon constituency and a major portion
of the Pacific West will have the desired
effect, Mr. Failing's appointment will be
forthcoming.
Vol,. 1, No. 1, of the Buv City Tribune

may have lound that some of the ineiii

clude to run out and colore the law
against him. This bill was intioJuccd
by senator Cross nt the instance of
James Winstan. of Damascus. Its

the saleries of the oili, w hich amounts
to considerable during the summer and
the state would h ive been that amount
hotier oil each vcar.
the inanuu'i'ineiit, it was postpone!
till Thursday when it is set for special
order. There seems to U' a at rung un
dercurrent of imposition to this bill, the
cause of which is apparent to those
familiar with political history. It m
dillieidt to my what fate the bill w ill
meet either in Iioiinu or senate. Ijuilo
a number of Kurt I'orllunders were re
joicing at a lulu hour on Tuesday night
or was it Wednesday morning over the
passage of the l.ast Portland charter
bill.

The to t seems to contain a number of
queerpiovisions. The lir-d section read,
"All real and personal property in the
state, and personal piowrty owned by
any person residing therein, inn subject
lo taxation " Thus if a resident of Ore
gon owns 11100 bend of stock in Washing
ton they must pay taxes in this slate.
However ns the hill has not yet passed
the senate it is very uncurtain whether
it will become n law.
Senalo bill No. til introduced hy Mr.
( 'a i hi in , mid relating to the duties of rail
roid commissioners contains a clause
which looks us if the democratic clerk of
senate, committee on railroads anil cor
poration!), might luivo had a hand in
preparing tho bill, and that n part o(
section four was written by V N. Scott
with ilii) view of helping himself to a (at
plum . II. rea ls thus :
It is deemed necessary and it is hereby
directed Unit. Hie qiuilill JiilioiiH of the

business or tiiuio. is so trained, and un
derstands tho details necessary to Iho
construction, iiuiinlcniinco iind operation
of railroads in Ihe sliito of Oregon,
w hether said railroad is well organized or
otherwise.
C. N. Scott, it railroad man, ought
never to luivo been made dork of that
committee, in the first place and tins
looks very much iih though the railroad
meant to luivo at least one member of
the boatd identified with thnir interests.
Is Senator Curson lending himself as a
tool to his clerk or is he to bo considered
the champion of the railroads?

Tax Trouble.
Ma. KniToa: As Mr. Ilium did not wrlto
what he said when I gave him notice on
Jannnrv 3d, I will do It lor him.
Flrst'irllmt I Iind no right to work liltu In
timooV, ,aool, whereupon I told hlin to
come to my houso and rend tho law for
himself. He claim, as I rend in the paper,
that I had Ihe road law with me. That is
unjust, and not a word true about it. I did
not find my hook until next lny.
Second -That ho worked on the road
across the river, upon which I asked for a
receipt. Ho had none to show or to get.
Third That the assessor would not assess
him here, and ho would put It before the
circuit court before he would pay. (Hero I
link tho assessor of Clackamas county, did
you assess Mr. (I. H. Dunn If no when and
whuro?) Upon which I said to Mr. Dunn,
before K. l'liill and wife, if that la what you
want I will give you thrcodiiys' notice Just
what tho law called for and then we will
try It a rattle, which will bo next Wednes
day. Notice wns given January 3d; the
next Wednesday from said day was January
7th. Now I ask every reader if that is only
two days notice? Written notice was given
to Mr. Dunn wheroto come to and at what
time, on January 7th.
Alter all of this ho had the cheek to stop
me on the road, claiming he hud paid ull of
his tax In Doughis county, upon which I
agreed lopuy him $fi for every $1 road tax
ho paid there In 1MK). I have not seen any
receipt lux up to this duy. Just then you
hot I gave him a piece of my mind. 1 told
Mr. Dunn jiiBtwhut I thought of hini.
