Captain Freeman E. Dodge, of the
steamer Harrison, and Mrs. Olive E.
Davidson were married on Saturday
afternoon at Astoria, bv Rev. Mr. Peart,
of the Methodist Church. They left on
the evening train for Portland on a
short wedding trip. Captain Dodge
came in on the Harrison on Wednesday,
bringing his bride with him, who will
make their home in this city. The band
boys gave the happy couple a musical
serenade the same evening. Congratu
lations, captain.
Mr. Geo. M. Cornwall, editor of the
Columbia River and Oregon Lumberman,
writes to the editor : “I find in looking
over my correspondence that we omitted
to write you a letter of thanks when re
turning your very valuable cuts, which
was returned to us from St. Louis. The
cuts have done the state of Oregon, and
especially the county of Tillamook, a
great deal of good, and the people of
your county should feel very kindly to
ward you for the enterprise you ’ ’ve
shown in making known to the world
the wonderful resources of your section.”
In the political news from Salem to the
Oregonian on Sunday this significant
paragraph appears ; “Tillamook’s five
delegates will go to the convention to
support T. B. Handlev for district attor
ney. They will be hampered by the fact
that Handley resides in an isolated part
of the district, and also by his lack of a
wide acquaintance.
Locally, also, he
failed to win at the primaries.” Evident
ly someone in Salem had been informed
who was going to be sent as delegates
from Tillamook to the state convention
and how they intended voting before the
convention was even held here. It is now
plain to see that politicians here were
counting their chickens before they were
hatched.
Mr. J.W. Maxwell attributes his de
feat to the fact that a letter was received
in this city to the effect that he had writ
ten Congressman Tongue that unless he
used his efforts to secure him the receiver
ship at the Oregon City land office, Mr.
Maxwell was going out to the congres
sional convention with the Tillamook
delegation to down Mr. Tongue. As
Mr. Maxwell informs the editor that he
never wrote or caused to be written such
a letter we withhold criticism until we
probe into the matter some. We have
sufficient evidence co prove that Mr.
Tongue received such a letter and who
informed some of his friends here about
it. More anon.
Frank Newton and Harry Mitchell got

Newton stabbed Mitchell in the left side
with the blade of a pocket knife, inflict,

arrested and had a hearing on Wednes
day before Justice Goyne charged with
being armed with a dangerous weapon
and assaulting another therewith. The
parties entertain old grudges against
one another, Mitchell testifying that he
was drunk when the assault was com
mitted. It appears also that Newton
has made threats that he will kill Mit

without any guarantee of operating one.
Of course, this oversight can easily lie
put right. As the long distance telephone
is now almost looked upon as a business
necessity on this coast, it is more than
probable that the council w ill pass the
ordinance. Should this conflict with Mr
Tuttle’s exclusive franchise he will have
to fight that out in the courts with the

having declined to accept the appoint
ment of city attorney, Mayor Wiley ap
pointed Mr. B. L. Eddy, and the council
immediately confirmed the appointment.
There was no report in regard to the
Harrison road, and the matter was laid
on the table indefinitely. Bills against
the city ordered paid were : Marshal and
commissioner, $36 ; recorder’s salary,
$10 ; J. F. Jennings, hauling gravel,
$4.75. President Cohn raised the ques
tion of expending some of the money be
longing to the road fund for the improve
ment of some of the streets. While he
did not approve the idea of improying
the streets and sidewalks abutting peo
ple’s property, he thought the street com-
mi t tee would be perfectly justified when
they saw that a street only needed a few
loads of gravel to order the w’ork done
and pa> for it out of the road fund, and
after discussing the matter somewhat,
this seemed to meet with the approval of
the committee, so that in future the city
council will not be put to the trouble of
assessing property owners with a few
loads of gravel, The Oregon Telephone
and Telegraph Company applied to the
council for a franchise to maintain and
conduct a telephone system within the
city limits in connection with the long
distance telephone. An ordinance to that
effect was introduced and passed to its
second reading, the council requiring
legal advice before it would pass the ordi
nance. It appears that the city council
about two years since granted Mr. J. E.
Tuttle an exclusive franchise, and as
there is a question w hether the council
could legally grant this, and with the
fact that Mr. Tuttle was a member of the
city council at the time and voted for the
passage of the ordinance, raises a ques
tion also whether Mr. Tuttle’s franchise,
as passed, does not conflict with the city
charter which specifies that no council
man can enter into any contract with
the council.
