Sosietirasagoitwassuggrstcdinvari- ous quarters that the city charter should ue amended. These suggestions becom- jias uumerouF, tho mayor, at a recent session of the city council, nppoiuted n committee ta take the matter under con sideration and report. At a special meet ing they reported, making several recorc meuJalioaj. At tho last meeUujj their report was adopted. 'xhe lirst ltcommecdaticn is "that the powi r j of tho council bo extended iu re gard t j tLe openinp, laying out and wid anin the streets of the city." There are jomj wa i fain!: t'a it th3 c m 13U h 13 al ready sxaljieat p-jr in this matter. The question is a debatable one. The next recommendation is that road tar collected within the city limits be ap plied to street improvements. There has oeen a great deal of road tax collected and there has been very little to show for t. "Whatever may be said about the equity of the idea, it is a popular one and .'old meet with littlo urban opposi tion. Another recommendation is that har bor due3 be collected from vessels. If these, harbor dues are solely to create a fuud to p ly a harbar master fees or snla-.-y tlie idea is a bad one and should not prevail. The wrJ ng of thi rd.o hiusl j.ition doed not admit of mo.o than p issiug criticism, but iu the sh ipj it is, .t looks like nioro of an eif jrt tit make a orth f rsoiuu one than anything else. We have a harbor master, and his office ii purely honorary, if it is essential taut tie should hue a salary perhaps it would be just ;ls easy to have tao shipping pay it as to raibO it iu a wore onerous form, out things seem to bo doing pretty well is they are. Tho idea regarding the .ireseutaticn of a message- by the out .jomg mayor is a good one. lie, certain 3't ougut to know tho condition and needs of the city and bo able to make an explicit statement regarding them. 'lho rooaimeudatiou regarding the ibolishinent of tho city asi3 -r's ofHio .A a good oae. One assessment for aouaty, c.ty ual s;h jj. district, m 1J3 iu 1 fair, intelligent and just manner, is iiioaga. Then have a b jard of equ ihz 1 tiiiu, tiio c lUaty to be of largest j arisdic tioa, and after th it board had concluded .ts work let there bo no appeals or grow. .114, but the t ix ba collected by process of la.vif iii-aiss in. At present 110 one knows just waere he is. About the time me levy and asiesuuent is about over ams another, and things are getting j idiY mixed. Tne next recommend ttiou is doubtless made w.th the best of intentions, but it rt'oald pat too much power in the hands f the coancil. it is in eiTect that the j.ty coauoil bo empo.vered to mike any rep nrs 1 1 the streets that in its judg ment it in iy mo lit atiJ ch irgo thb same to tae proji r.y owners. Tub theory is a 40 id one, but tho workings of it would not bo s itisfact ry. Tuere ia a sligat J ivor of a job about it juoaga to kill it. J'liu last rejomaiendatiau is a very im port tut una an i suoaid bo c irefuby dis nsed. It is " That all new streets here tt'ter j:tntd, p!anked or macadamiz-d, saail bo done at the expanse of tho ad jaosnt proporty owners, and that here tfter tae s uue s "lall bo kept in repair by oaeral taxatiou." Tun Asoemn invites discussion on -ill the top o-, and directs the attention f the cit.zjus to the list clause quoted a to rt. Tao qiestion is: oaau the city u a while, or the individual owners of jirojierty i 13 for repairs to streets" It .nvolves a good deal. The lirst idea is "Lift those p ty who are benefited." T'nat'r jt exact. y. Norwao are benefited. Tne travel on Sqicuioqua, Chenanras, iliiu. ti.ntou, Coacoimy. Cedar and other streets is considerable. There is always repiirreqiired there. On the hillside atrajts. onoa opened, very little rep lir is needed. Bat the iiillsido residents get the benefit of the street in the business ptrt of the c".ty equally with adjacent residents. Ls it not 1 11 r that they should saare the expanse? Again it may be said "I own a lot on the hill; why should I be t txed t p ty for improving a street down tuwuV" True, and y-t j-our lot is as s.jsseJat $2tJ or .JXJ.Fnila thi d iwa towu lot is assossed at 'J,5JJ or $ 5.0JJ. i'uo propirtf holder thero p ijs ten tiaies the tax the hillside lot owuer does on this basis, while all derho benefit from tho rep lir.

Bat Til : VsJoMUf suggests that a meet ing of c.tizons. men who own property md pay taxes be called; that they meet and appoint a committee; that the com mittee draft such amendments to the charter as, in their judgment, should oe m ide. The time grows short, and if invthiug is to be done let it bd done at once. Tae m tyor and council havo done their dity iu tho matter. It is easy for tho writer o- other t it o -yers to critic se want they recommend, bat let us get to getuer and put our ideas in practicable saape. iheir ideas need not be discarded or igu red. but expanded and given effect I'hey h ivo done thtir part; it now re mains f r the c tizens to do theirs.

The roof of Small'spara house nt Walla Walla fell in oJHJhristmas eve. The building was onlyKted this year. Tho cause is supposed to bo melting snow wcakoning the mortar, as all tho snow had been shoveled off previously. Two hours later and hnndredswoald probabiy hare been killed, as tho Methodist church Christmas ceremonies were to nave lieen held there. -As it was no oae was hurt, but tho roofi with all its weight fell llut just where tho audience would hava been. Gineral Hazju of the Uaited Stitos signal service, h ls decided to establish a branch station of thn m tin bore tu of the department in San Fr mcas 20, which will probably be located at the Aleruhants' Exchange building, where the loc il sta tion is already quartered, Heretofore Paclio coist weather reports have been sent direct to Washington, but it is be lieved that whoever is assigned to take charge of the new bureau will collate and condense reports there and send indica tions east. Ou the '21. h in San Francisco, Judge Sullivan rendered his decision in the famous divorce suit of Hill and Sharon, The judgo decides that plaintiff was, according'to the law of California, the lawful Wife of William Sharon, gianta her absolute divorce, and orders a divis ion of tho property, g.vmg her one-half of tho RHm . Tue suit as brought by the plaintiff. Miss Sarah A tae 1 Hill, claim ing to bo tho wife of ex-den itor Saaron. w.is far divorce and division of common propjrty. Judge Sullivan's decisiou is a very comprehensive one, nd contains about 2G,0u0 words. After rdviowing the testimony ho concludes by declaring that uuder tho I iws of 0 tlifaraia p.aiutm is the legal wife of Sharon, aud as suoa is entitled to divorce, on tho g.-oand of w.l ful desertion, aud division of tuo coo. mon property. The latter is estimated to be worth $10,03 J.UO?. Tho verdict is 1 great surprise to the public, it hiving been generally supposed, from tho con tradictory character of tho testimony, that ulamt.ff would have been non suited. It is belitvod that Sharon wih appeal. In tao United States circuit court at St. Pau on the 21th. a verdict for plain tiff in the sum of $3,101 was rendered in tho Knife Falls Boom oomp mv vs. tin Daluth Lumber company. The case is briblry outlined as follews: The limft Falls B)ora compinv threw a boom across the St. Louis river at Knife Falls, and imposed a hue upon all logs p snug thronga. The Dulutu Limber company, whic h doited immense qunntit'oi of loiro on ths river, ob.ecte i to tie toll imposed for sorting, and refused t-j piy. Their logs were tied up in consequence, and tho Du'nth Limber oomouiv brm"ht -suit in the district court of St. Louis county, Judgo Stearns, for damages in a heavy sum. The decision of Judtv S tear ns sustained the boom oomntLV and thee ise went to the United Stites circait c mrt and is now pending there. To reverse the case, and as an offset, tin Knife Falls comp my now instituted sud against the Du'uth Lumber comp my, to oxact tho .amount of tolls impo ;ed. and secured to-day tae tordict named above. it is an importaut decision, as on 11 hangs tho ftte of hundreds of millions of log j which will, yet coma do.va the river. Ksw Llsfhthoaie Tender. Bids were opened in Washington on the 1st of the present month for the con struction of a new lighthouse tender to succeed the Shubrick in the Thirteenth District, and to be known rs the Madro no. The necessary funds are on hand for her construction, and tho contract there for has undoubtedly been let ire this. The plans and specifications as adopteu by the Lighthouse Board, aud from wuich tho now vessel will bo built, call for 1. screw steamer "1GJ feet long ou a 7-foof draft line, and 17J feet over all; 21 feet beam, and 11 feet 4 inch depth of ueld: to bo fitted with collision bulkheads auu all modern appliances. She will be pro pelled by compound, condensing en gines, with cylinders 2J and 40 in ches in diameter respective y, and 23 inch stroke if piston. Tho offi cer's quarters will be in the forw rd part of the deckhoaso. Tho oaptuiu's room will be abaft the pilot houneou the prom enade deck, and the chief engineer' room will be abaft the enj.no room. As stated before, the new steamer is intend ed to tiko the plaoo of the Shubrick, which vessel, says the Seattle Post-Intel-llnencer,is at present in this port. Tut Sliubrlcl;i3 an old-fashioned, side-wheel steamer, built in Baltimore in 18..7, for u light-h rase tender, and left for tao Pa cific Coast in December of tint year. During the war she was converted into a revenue cutter, under Captain Charles Scammon, and a job was put up at Victoria to seize her and put her un der tho English fl ig; but the Collector of Customs learned of the scheme in time to prevent its consummation. After the close of the war she was again put into the lighthouse service, and since that time has been constantly eng iged in sup plying lighthonsi-8, lootfting and looking after buoys, and doing inspection duty in tho ligathouse service in the Thir teenth district, which extends from Cape B anco, on the southern coast of O.'i g r, to Olympia, at the bead of Paget Sounu, and comprises thirty-three lighted bea cons ana uniuouses, and several bar ports with 10J bnoys, all in position. She is offloered as follews: H. M. Greeorv. master; Charles Bichardson, first officer; Marry L Lord, chief engineer; S. W. Madge, first assistant engineer. She car- r.03 eighteen men, all told. As she is a very old Tessel. it is thounht that the Shubrick will ba condemned on the ar rival of the new boat, and her crew traps: ferred to the Afadrcmo. At J. Y.
