Brother Clarke will give the order a live and capable business administration. Again the city council has tackled the fire-limit question, and it is pro posed to prohibit the construction of wooden buildings on the block north of the courthouse and the east half of the block directly opposite on Main street That reasonable fire limits should be established, none will deny, yet the question is one of the most vexing with which city councils have had to deal. Every citizen favors fire limits, but he usually wants them to cover some other roan's property. It is hoped, however, that the present council will take this greatly-needed step, to the end that the appearance of the town may be improved and the danger of fire and accident lessened The head ofSee of the Dallas & Falls ; City Railroad Company, for the last. three years located in tne . uaoa; KiuiinF on Court street was moved. u ......... 0 - i '1 1' : n t hA " to the company s ouiiutug m j terminal grounds lu South Dauas, Wednesday.

Will it be en acted? Of course it will. In Oregon the state government Is divided into four departments the executive, judi cial, legislative and Mr. LT'Ren and it is still an open question which exerts th most nower. One fact must be considered in making comparisons That the Legislature does not dare to repeal the acts of Mr. U'llen, the executive has no opportunity to veto them, and thus far the judiciary has uphold all his laws and constitutional amendments. On the contrary, air, U'lten has boldly clipped the wings of the executive and legislative depart rnents. aud when he gets time will (IniihtlfKB nut some shackles on the Supreme Court. To date, the indica tions are that Mr. U'Ken outweighs any one, and perhaps all three, of the other departments. Oregonian.
