It la understood that the failure of the

lighting proposition last night wa due
to the fact Nt copies of the new city
charter have not been received from Sec.

aholcsnle tampering with new lawn at
Salem aince the last session.

The most recent rumor in rgard to
the purposes of the proposed Columbia

"It Is reported that the Northern Pa

of the Columbia P.lver Valley railroad

A number of volunteer soldiers attached
to battery M, stationed at Fort Stevens,
were mustered out a few days ao. After

privilege of reenlisting In the regular

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

them on an even footing with the Great

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

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

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.

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
