COUNCIL MEETING.
The Usual Monthly Routine of Business
Transacted.
Monday night was regular meet
ing night tor the Board of Alder
men, and all were present ' except
councilman Kirk.
The liquor license petitions of
Alexander McKay and Lew Shaw
were granted and their bondsmen
accepted.
The usual batch of bills were al
lowed, with the exception of one
presented by Hansell & Maloney
for paper, pens, ink, etc., that was
a little over a year old, which was,
on the motion of Cox, referred to
the finance committee. The age
tacked to it was no doubt the reas
on that it was consigned to the
merciless scrutiny of the hard
hearted finance committee.
The matter of the payment of
$50 to ex-treasurer, T. D. Taylor,
was next brought up. This mat
ter had been referred to the finance
committee at a previous meeting,
but when called on for their report
had none to make. They were in
structed to teport at next regular
meeting. . !

Chehalis. the Pacer. .
Speaking of Chehalis, Frank
Frazier'a wonderful pacing stallion,
the Oregonian says: , Chehalis did
not surprise local horsemen when
he went a mile in 2:091 He won
a big five heat race by taking the
last three. Pathmont took ' the
first two. The Woodland track,
according to good authority, never
saw a prettier contest. There were
numerous starters, but the race was
between the Oregon entries from
start to finish. Both Pathmot and
Chehalis distinguished themselves
in a marked degree. Chehalis, it
is said took the last three heats
with the greatest ease. Horsemen
who saw the race say that he can
go several seconds faster. He is
not entered in any more races for
the preseat season, but it is very
probable that his owner and driver,
Frank Frazier, of Pendleton, will
start him in the great free-for-all
race at Sacramento next week.
Veterans of the turf in this city
predict that Chehalis will get a
very low mark if he starts in that
race, and believe that he can beat
any pacer on the coast.
CAPTURED A COUNTERFEITER.
Clever Piece of Detective Work by
Deputy Marshal Bentley. ,
By a piece of clever detective
work, Deputy United States Mar
shal John M. Bentley yesterday
captured W. H. Lane, who, the ev
idence at hand shows, has been en
gaged in the manufacture of coun
terfeit coins, and has been very
diligent in giving the same the
largest posisble circulation. Lane,
it is charge, has been doing a flour
ishing business, and, in his section,
has almost driven Uncle Sam's
coins out of the market.
Several months ago Mr. Bentley
learned that counterfeiters were at
work in this county, and upon in
vestigation he concluded that Lane
was the criminal. He proem ed a
warrant for the arrest of that gen
tleman, but did not obtain suffic
ient evidence against him until
Wednesday, when he set out for
Pilot Rock with William McBride,
expecting to find Lane at CottreH's
ranch, where some races were being
given. But Lane did not matera
lize, and the officer had to drive to
his home in the mountains, 6even
miles from lba. : At 4 o'slock yes
terday morning, Mr. Bentley arose
and at 8 o'clock he had his prisoner
and was on his way back to Pend
leton.
Lane was arranged before Unit
ed States Commissioner Bean yes
terday afternoon, and entered a plea
of not guilty. His bail was hxed
at $500. He will have an examin
ation in a day or two.
Mr. Bentley gays that many
spurious coins of Lane s manufac
ture have. been circulated in Pend
leton. . The prisoner has apparent
lv been in the business for some
time, and seems to have worked
alone. He is a married man and
has one child. Tribune.
The Post's View.
In a long editorial the Salem
Post supported the secretary of
state in his position of opposition
to the regents' demand for" the ap
propriated money, and says that
"Mr. Kincaid takes the sensible
ground that he is bound by law to
issue warrents to the persons who
have performed service or furnish
ed supplies, on properly verified
vouchers, after and not before the
amount have been due. And here
the attorney general is in accord
with the secretary of state. Al
ready $1,600 of the $16,000 has
been paid out, and. the whole
amount can thus be drawn as fast
as it is needed. And this should
satisfy any reasonable person, or
any body of reasonable persons.
But the fact is, the money is not
wanted to run the school, but rath
er to put in a bank for the benefit
and conveyance of private partios.
But this was not the purpose of the
appropriation. Neither was it the
intention, of the legislature.'?
Oregon's Fruit Interests.
It is the intention of the state
horticultural board, says the Port
land Telegram, to compile and pub
lish in the near future a sort of
history or record of the fruit in
dustry of Oregon. Thfs will be a
verv interesting and valuable work,
and one in which every prominent
fruitgrower will have a place. I he
Durtxrae is to give a description oi
v . . 1 VI' -
the fruit farms in every part of the
state, when the trees were set out
the number and variety, by whom
owned, etc. The record will be as
complete as possible, and the data
obtained from the most authentic
sources. Secretary George I. Sar
gent will have charge of the gener
al compilation of this history. It
will involve a great amount of hard
and careful labor. ,

FROM ANOTHER SOURCE.
He Also Thinks the Single Tax Would
Help Us
I note in a recent issue that you
welcome Chicago people who are
looking up the idea of establish-.
ing a beet-root factory in Eastern
Oregon, and suggest that some of
your townsmen ought to make them
advantageous offers to establish
their industry in 'your neighbor
hood. I know enough about the
climate and soil of your section to
be sure that U advantages are
great, but thero are other ways by
which you can make it advantage
ous to ousinesa men to locate with ,
you. For instance, thereis the
present unjust and foolish way as
sessors have of taxing industry;
just as soon as a factory or indust
ry, is erected they tax it, and prac-.
ticallv place a fine on industry,
while the law speculator ana tneir
names is legion) gets off without any
more tax at all, and furthermore
he gets the benefit of the general
advantage of the'eommunity with- -out
paying his share, reaping where
he has not Bovvn. Profit can not
be earned by him without taking
away from some one else.
If you were to adopt the single
tax on land values you would at
tract industries to your state by
that, more than any other way,
and I urge the idea upon the con
sideration of vour many readers.
