With a man constituted as I"''"" Sharp wa, appaiontly with- out scruple or moral scn-lbility, exi)erlenco and con- scion. c brought no sullicicnt penalty for a life devoted to material success icgardlcss of tho means by which it was attained. In the eyes of nobler natures it was a success tlmt illil not imiv and there was nothing in it to excite emulation, but the rctiibution duo to it must come from some other source than his own sensibilities. Success at tained by Iniquitous methods i an oU'eiise against society, which a thoroughly sound condition of society would pievent and which it is liable ut any time to aonge. Though Sharp was permitted to run Ids course until sum'ss seemed to be attained, the Nemesis who-e pursuit, he hud provoked; overtook him at last. Ills iijisdnings were cxpo-cd, the leaden foot of justice was set In motion and Its iron hand was put upon him. He escaped the felon's cell, ii'seued, perhaps, by death itself, but be did not escape the felon's ignominy. His last days o. broken health and shattered facul ties were embittered aim made wretched by oxiMisiiro to scorn tiuil a long struggle with the avenging law, and hlslifo wont out without uvvukoniug those natural regrets, or oven invoking Unit merciful silence, which mortality ordinarily claims. The lesson was one that could not lie ignored. Tho success of a lifts, time, so won, so deprived of enjoy ment, was not worth its cost. Kven to those of a callous natuie It must 1k apparent that It did not pay. There have U-cn other successes within the memory of tho-v -.till young which convoy much tho sumo lesson.

(inr I'ropertj Holders Anxious lo Improve onr Streets The Also Want Sewers. projerty the urovc our streets and not our streets onlv, but nl-o our sewerage system. Calling upon Mr. T. McF. Patton, we found him anxious that thorough w ork should be done. He lias lived here many years, and avers that been intelligeni f vmKtW screened and ;IiwUli; niucl, cheaper and appnta almost as 'ood, us crushed rock. urn tlrst In- sjivs we must liave sew crs to draw oil' the rainfalls. He Is willing to pay his share of the tax. He wants to see the ordinance relative to tho lining of the outside of the sidewalks enforced. Mr. Martin, the jeweler, believes sewers should have tho MM atten tion. He says without sewers, we cannot have good streets. Mr. Buh believes that both i cowers and streets should be looked after. Ho thinks abutters on the .,' itlllirVi.,i si,iii,i bear the 1.,,, i,)eulTetI, as this is the I only practical way of getting at it. otherwise property holders back of (he nmhl ltR,e will ,lofw,( Uny I ,., j,,!,',, bright says mo must lmve i wiu..ll. .. ..,..,. . 1MWji,i.. and n.aca.lami.e the sticets next. W. II. Ltuhie would prefer paving, but allows it to bo more expensive. He thinks wo should have sewers w ith receiving basins at each corner. Abutters should make the oiiginal improvement of the streets, and re pairs should lie paid by the city. He 1ms cogent reasons for this. The public wear out tho road bed, and the public should repair. Warner llreyman say-, we must have a sower down Ferry street. He favors graveling the streets, as. we have such an abundance of excellent material. Charles 15. Moorcs, or the Oregon l.ulid Co., wants to see an era of Improvement and enterprise dawn. Ho believes we should put our streets in such a condition that they will be good summer and 'winter, cost what it may. Titos. Holnian says we never can have good streets till we macadam be. When he was in tho city coun cil he agitated tho purchase of a rock ei Usher. Ho siys the large stones in Mill creek bed, among the gravel, can be crushed and will make excellent material. J. H. Alliert says we need both improved streets and increased sowerugo. Last fall an oll'ort was made to put a sewer through Ferry street and a majority of property holders favored it, but the mayor and council refused. The present sewer down Court street is cx IH'oted to drain two blocks luterally, tnorth andsouth,) which is beyond Its capacity . Let the Ferry street sower be put in, and receiving basins made ut ouch corner so Unit the rainfall can lo curried all', and our streets can readily bo made bard and solid w Ith gravel. Wo have as lino gmvcl us there is in the world, and our street U'ds are in a good con dition to review a coat. Mr. Albert says that us the city council can use eiupiiou tor inaeiiieaness. S.
