MUNICIPAL POLITICS. All Candidates Will Bo Nominated by iT)emunicipal political pot is not simmering as has been its ac customed wont in the past. "Scab" and "ring" are words that have ap parently sought the shades of all else departed, for" we have not heardjbeni-mentioned so hr' From all appearances, Athena's city election, wh?ch occurs on March 3, will be a rather tame affair, to say the least. But .then, you cannot always tell which way the ball will roll, and mayhap thereis fun in store for the bovs Klayor llollis informs a reporter that after canvassing the question as to: holding a convention, for the nomination of candidates, he has come to the conclusion that he will issue ho call, but will leave it to those who wish for municipal glory to be nominated . by petition. This mode of coming before the people ''as a candidate for munici pal office, is in vogue in many other towns and cities whe,re non partizan tickets are made up, and has proven to be a much better way of getting one's ; nama before the people than when nominated in convention.: Then too, you and your neighbor, or your neighbor's hired man can all run for office, nobody is slighted,' and there is plenty material to contest in the battle at the polls. " Petitions are now in order for offices of mayor, five councilmen, city recorder, city treasurer and city marshal. . .. council'meeting. Couhcil Met Monday-Evening in Its ' Regular Session. City council met Monday even ing in regular session Councilmen Spencer and Tharp wiere absent. The petition of Cj A. Fischer, asking permission- ta construct a wooden awning on buildings within the fire limit was granted. i The ordinance committee were instructed to draw up im ordinance ftr the regulation of Athena's water system. An ordinance was talked of by the council in relation to the recognition of Athena Hose , Com pany No. 1, as an organization, but nothing was done in regard to the matter. It" appears that one who serves for a certain number of yea'rs in the capacity of a fireman in a volunteer fire department is issued a certificate which exempts from paying poll tax, jury, dutv, etc. This is the reason the department wishes . the council toecognize it by ordinance, As it; is now the time thev are serving cannot he ven credit on the certificate. The council and the city marshal came together again in, regard to a bill. Mr. Gillis wanted $36 for 12 days carpenter work. Councilman Kirk thought times- were too hard to pay that amount'and thought $2 per day reasonably Mr. Gillis preterred if the bill was to be cut to have the number of days lessoned and not the amount per day, as he did not wish to establish a pie cedent of working at his trade for $2 per day. Mr. Kirk jthen made the motion to allow tjrtlhs.$24 for 8 days carpenter worky It re ceived a Becond from1 ''vox and carried. . i' ,. The following bills were allowed: Athena Mill Company .$50 00 A.

The object of the meeting will be to make arrangements to secure for Pendleton the uext tour ment of the Eastern Oregon and Washington Firemen's Association. The officers of the association will meet in this city on the 15th inst., and will decide upon a place for holding the tournament. Tribune. Last of the Insurance Cases. The last of the Cunningham in surance cases was tried before JudgVEakin yesterday. Marcus S. Koshland was the plaintiff aad the National Fire Insurance Company of Hartford, -was the defendant. The amount sued for was $4885. The jury was out nearly three hoars, and returned a verdict in favor of plaintiff for $3750. Messrs. Carter and Balleray argued tne case for the plaintiff, and Chamber lain for the defense. Messrs. Reedcr, Raley and Chamberlain, who appeared for the defendants in each of the insurance cases suc ceeded in cutting down the amounts asked for about $800. - A Peculiar Case. The local larid office at The Dalles has just received a decision from the interior department in rather a peculiar case. It is one in which Lewis C. Baker, on August 21, 1894, filed a contest against John Sperry. Shortly afterward Baker became insane, and was confined in' the asylum. W. T. Weeks then appeared and filed a contest for the land in controversy. The department holds that Baker's insanity was not a bar to his prose cuting his claim, and dismissed Week 8 contest. MUST KILL CAYUSES. Several Hundred Affected With Dis eases and Will be Slaughtered. Stock Inspector George T. Ellis stated to the East Oregonian that he has been giving some attention to the diseased Indian cayuses which are very numerous on the reservation. The Umatilla reser vation. Indians own in all several thousand cayuses, though it is im possible accurately to tell the exact number. Among them, there ap pears to be many affected with the mange, and Mr. Ellis estimates that from 300 to 400 are taken with the diseise. This constitutes about GO per cent, of the entire Indian horse hands. These horses must be killed, and the stock in spector has interviewed the head men among the Indians, who promise to kill every diseased ani mal.' The Indians, since horses became valueless in the market, havd scarcely known what to do with their bands. In former years they could find quite ready market at $10 per head, and now it would not -be -extreme to say that the horses would not sell ot 10 cents each. Were the entire reservation band put up for sale, they would find no takers at that price. It is even true that were the entire band hung on a Christmas tree for any persoji who knew the conditions" of things, it would not be taken- off and Santa Claus would not receive any thanks from the recipient. The 300 or 4C0 sick cayuses will be killed by the owners with little hesitation, and the inspector will not bo called on to exercise any authority to compel them to do it. Were the cayuses of larger size, the well ones could be sold for canning and shipment to foreign countries, but the scrawny cayuse finds no buyer, and all about him for which any one has use are the mane and tail, which could readily be sold, were they not hampered with so worthless an encumbrance as a horse. ) THE WHEAT MARKET. Higher Prices Expected in Portland The Market, In speaking of the wheat situa tion in Portland the Commercial Review says: "The local market has main t tiined its strength; that has been demonstrated during the past fort night. Exporters are buying spar ingly and are paying full market price, holders in the interior are offering sparingly, notwithstanding that lc per bushel higher is quoted. With encouraging Eastern and European advices they firmly be lieve thev will realize better prices, and we would not bo surprised to see wheat sell still higher. Millers are buying about on the same ratio as shippers 631c for both Walla Walla and Valley. We think that about 15 per cent, of the crop is still in thu farmers' hands but still maintain that our crop has been overestimated. We 6tated this in September, and would not be sur prised to hear that both the states of Oregon and Washington had only 15,000,000 bushels." Portland, Feb. G. Wheat, Walla Walla, GO; Valley, 64c.
