It la understood that the failure of the council to take any action on the city lighting proposition last night wa due to the fact Nt copies of the new city charter have not been received from Sec. reiary of Slate Dunbar. It was doomed advlsahl. to postpone action until tho next regulnr meeting, owing' to the aholcsnle tampering with new lawn at Salem aince the last session.

The theft Is said to have been committed hist sumnvr. and Stewart Is said to have stolen 12 pound in all. The twine was 'th property of the KVard & Stokes company. and Its loss waa not discovered until y.iterday. The stolen twine was quite valuable. It seems Stewart sold it to a li'Cal can. ueryman for a ridiculously low price, and It was suspected at the time that the man must have stolen It.

From Queens, town the Mistley Hall was onler-d to Liverpool, wnere the present cargo was loaded for the Columbia river. The Mistley Hall will probably commence discharging today. The most recent rumor in rgard to the purposes of the proposed Columbia Valley railroad, says the Portland Tele, gram, comes from the Tacoma News: "It Is reported that the Northern Pa cific railroad is pushing the construction of the Columbia P.lver Valley railroad which is ostensibly an Independent line from the main line of the Northern Pa. ciflc at Wallula down through Klickitat L. Carlnon, is one of the most popular beverages sold. Its purity and quality are guaranteed, and it is especially rec ommended for family use. It Is gold In any quantity at the corner of Twelfth and Bond streets. A number of volunteer soldiers attached to battery M, stationed at Fort Stevens, were mustered out a few days ao. After belnf jnustered oait they were given the privilege of reenlisting In the regular service, and some of them did so for three years. Those who did not reenlist left at once for thoir homes In different parts of th country. The news that the entire fish bill has the Ca.stades and around by way of Tacoma as at present and put them on an even footing with the Great Northern, which has practically dfrect lines to both the sound and Portland reaching the latter city over the O. R. & N. That negotiations have been pond ing for the control of the O. R. & N. by th N. P. for some time past there seems little doubt. The recent action in the promotion of the Wallula-Portland line Is the next move In the program. As one well posted in railway matters on the co'ifit puts it; 'The Northern Pa cific Is taking up the Columbia River Valley proposition for the purpose of brimming the O. R. & N. to terms, and falling in that to build a parallel line, giving the Northern Pacific a direct line not been rendered null end void by the: from the grwt wheat country In Eastern carelessness of the senate nsnerles com- Washington."

It is clalme'here by persons very close to th promoters that the line ns stated will be entirely Independent and built by capital outside of railroad ohan. nels." the. white man's burden, h did not state. After the meeting he remarked that the feature of th new charter bill which abolishes the salaries of the mayor and members of the council was a very bad one. He said the coundlmen were placed on a salary so that. lh-y might be consistently fined for non-attendance, a member being taxed 15 every rime he missed a meeting without first having been excused from attendance by the mayor. Hereafter, said Mr. Oiddnrd. a man wlil suit his own convenience about attending meetings, and the business of the city would suffer accordingly. The ways and means committee, to which had been referred the matter of the city maintaining Its own eJectric lrht plant, reported that it had conferred with the water commission, but that an other conference was desired. Further time was asked for a report, and It was granted. The matter will probably come up in Shape at the meeting two weeks hence. A communication was read from the manorer nf the public howling rll-ys stating that business In his line whs fall ing off. as bowlers were all enjoying themselves at club alle-ys. He wanted the council to Insist upon clubs paying a license on their alleys, or else that the license be reduced. The matter cim" before the council once before and was laid on the table, and the same fate was meted out to the communication read last night. Frank L. Parker asked permission of the council to extend his dock at the foot of Second street to the harbor line Chairman Clinton, of the wharves and walerfrontnge committee, Introduced an ordinance covering (he matter nnd It was passed. Mr. Parker states thnt the extension of the whnrf will be com menced Immediately. Mayor Bergman returned without his approval an ordinance passed at the Inst meeting appropriating a sum of money for Jurors' and Interpreter's fee In a case In the police court. He ald the city was not liable for such fees and saw no reason why the taxpayers' money should be thrown away. The veto' was sustained, Urlx, Clinton, Goddard and child was much better. The druggist, Mr. Otto Bchoiz. says the family has sine recommended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to their neighbors and friend until he has a constant demand for It from that part of the country.
