Somo such adjustment should bo made. Tho cemeteries should pay part of tho improvement. Tho county prob ably cannot legally contribute. Tho wholo burden should not bo mado to rest on tho ownors of the abutting property. THESE SHOULD BE A JUST DIVISION OF THE EXPENSE. That will be ono of tho finest streets in the city, and should be constructed this summer. There should bo n park ing on each side of tho street, and a first-class 40-foot roadway. But ovorybody should give up the idea of spreading on a little more grav el. Tho ditches on each sido should bo closod, and i tile put in. Those ideas are thrown out for what they are worth, and moroly as suggestions. THE CHIME OF CLEVELAND. Tho Portland Advocate, ono of tho Afro-Amorican papers of that city, owes this editor an apology. Tho Ad voeato comos addressed to this papor as 'Tho Cleveland .Tournnl" ami that ho must rotract or thore will bo a job for tho colored undortakor at tho me tropolis ono of these days.

What a deadly paralloL And has it como to this that all Oregon is to suf fer for tho sins of its representatives! It looks that way. What a striking contrast betwten Oregon and Washington! It is ovidont that tho administration proposes that Oregon clear itself of tho odium cast upon it by its repre sentatives beforo it need expect any fnvors from tho national government. Evidently tho president has been shown sufficient proof of rascality in land matters to warrant his withhold ing any favors from Oregon until the Augoan stnbleB havo been cleaned. Othcrwiso tho Presldont may feel that in making appointments or rec ommendations ho might make mistakes, tho charges of land frnuda boing so far reaching that it would bo difficult for him to select an nppolntmont that was not tainted with scandal. their own money to run all the state institutions with.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. William Ewlng, at Alto Park, Portland, was the scene of a beautiful wedding Friday ev ening, February 24th, the occasion being the marriage of their daughter. Ger trude Elizabeth, to Fred McElfresh. A wedding bell of feathery green moss, with white satin rosebuds and tulle streamers, was suspended from the ceiling, and beneath this the cere mony was performed by Ilov. if. m. Jones, of Portland. Tho parlor was decorated in harmon ious shades of green, from the dnrk shining garlands of ivy which almost covorcd the ceiling to the lighter shades of ferns and Oregon holly. Red tones mingled with tho green enhanced tho beauty of tho other rooms. Dozens of red candles shone through tho rosy shades on tho table, where tho bridal supper was served. At 9 o'clock the stately Loncngrin wedding march was played by Miss Georgia Ewing, and the bridal party de scended tho starwny and took places be neath the wedding bell, where tho dotiblo ring service was performed. A solid wall of ivy, embellished with white carnations, formed an effective background for tho scene. Tho brido was a -winsome picture in a gown of white organdie, with chif fon trimmings. She carried white bride roses, with tulle ornaments. Miss Helen Jane Ewing, sister of the bride, acted as maid of honor nnd Miss Jennie Ewing was bridesniaid. Both were be comingly attired in white, and carried arm bouquets of pink roses. Elizabeth Stevens, the tiuy cousin of tho bride,' wns ring bearer, and Mr. Fred Wallace, of Salem, acted as best man. About HO guests, several from East ern and Southern Oregon, wero in at tendance. Many beautiful and costly gifts wero received. After tho ceremony a delicious sup por wns served and Mr. and Mrs. McEl fresh left for Portland amid showers of rice and good wishes from tho guests. They left Saturday for a three weeks' trip through California. During the supper an original poem wns read by Oscar Eaton, and Miss Nettio Kingreo sang a solo in an effoctivo manner.
