Only once since the war be gan has tlie iterllu ellk-lal bulletin, re ported the sinking of a truussirt by a submarine, but l-umlon promptly de nied Hint any such thing had happened and all the evldcmo at the time weutj.0 show that the submarine captain made a mistake lu claiming such a success. Tho Cermnu failure to Interfere with this vital trulllc or the foe was explain ed by travelers reaching America froui Loudon and Dcrllii. who had opKr tuulty in both capitals to speak with tucu In high otllclal circles.' Contrary to the general uotlon that a protective lane of torpedo bout destroy ers and other warships Is maintained by tho allies across the English chan nel. It Is learned that there has been stretched from Knlkestono to Caie Grls-Nes a wire cable netting, with meshes eighteen Inches square. The cable. Is claniied together In sections. It Is submerged to a depth, of about 130 feet and kept In place by anchor buoys. This submarine "dead Uuo" the Ger- j mnu U boats cannot pass. Carefully Guard Narrow Passags. A narrow passage left open, accord dig to the British admiralty announce ment, for merchant shipping by way of tho Downs nnd Deal, Is carefully guard- ed by torpedo boats and torpedo boat destroyers. That the German submarines have been unable to get at tho ullles' troop ships and supply ships beyond the sub merged netting Is explained by tho fact that thole U.Oou miles cruising radius, while permitting them to pass through the North sea and around the British Isles and return to their bases, fulls short Just before the protected area U reached. The German government has never stated how many submarines It has lost The English admiralty also has maintained silence on the subject men tioning only such ctucs as resulted lu the capture of olliccrs and crews of the German L" boats, whose presence in 'England would need explanation. Travelers from Berlin, however, who had access to o 111 da I a lu authority there, said that It was admitted by competent authorities lu the German capital that fourteeu German submarines bad been lost up to three weeks ago. The conjec ture Is that many or these may have come to grief in the meshes of the British cable netting. Traveling at a siieed of six to eight knots under wuter, these ships would thrust their way In extricably Into the tuugle of steel be fore they could be brought to a atop and freed.

Hedges, the retiring member of the board, said Saturday that he felt relieved that he could drop the duties of water commissioner and did not in tend to take part in any attempt to keep him on the board. The question hat a peculiar signifi cance in as much as Mr. Latourette was named a commissioner by the council because, he Is believed to sym pathize with the views of the council on the operation of the elevator. When the council discovered over a year ago that it could not remove the water board or compel that branch of the government to connect the water mains with the elevator, a plan of electing each year men who were In harmony with the council was adopted. In time, the council believed, the board would be composed ot men who sympsthiied with their views.

Hefore the Worswick company can commence to lay the new street, the Portland Railway, Light & Power company must put its tracks in shape and this work is now being rushed. In several places the track is not on the level of the street and along the street from one end of the brick paving to the other, there are defective paving blocks. New rails will be put In to take the place of all that show a flaw. Paving will probably be under way within the next two weeks. Hiccoughs.

"In the summer of 1SS8 I had a very severe attack of cholera morbus. Two physicians worked over me from four a. m. to six p. m. without giving me any relief and then told me hey did not expect mejto live; that I bad best telegraph for my family. Instead of doing so, I gave the hotel porter fifty cents and told him to buy mo a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and take no sub stitute. I took a double dose accord ing to the directions and went to sleep after the second dose. At five o'clock the next morning I waa called by my order and took a train for my next stopping point, a well man but feeling rather shaky from the severity ot the attack." writes H. W.

Taking Into consideration the ma.'s of flKires presented an ths ritlu.ates whl'h were not presented. tho city council Wednesday night aliout came to Hie com limloii Hut the rlty had not lived within lis bud get for Ihe first six months of l'Jl", although the difference between tho estimates made In Iiei emlx-r and the actual expense or rlty government Is considered small. Mayor Jones at Ihe first meeting In June asked that all department heads send In reports showing the amount spent In the first six months, the amount allowed under the budget and the balance) on hand. The fire and water committee and the health and police committee responded Wednes day night Earh of the departments, excepting only the atreet department, showed a balance on hand. The street department has deficit or 1. 153.64. but this matter was explained by Chairman Tempb-ton ot the com mittee when he said that the heaviest street work or the year was undertak en In the spring and early summer. The fire department ahowed a balance of $422.25 but at the same time the report was presented a bill tor $500 was read for the purchase of fire hose which will wipe out the balance tkhown. Many items, such as city printing and quarantine, were left out entirely Wednesday night when the council discussed the matter. At the close of the meeting. Mayor Jones said that the quarantine 'expenses would he high on account of the number or smallpox cases early In the year. The city engineer had no report and sev eral or the more minor Items ot ex pense were not estimated. A petition, prepared by J. E. Hedges, attorney for i-ee Pong, asking that the fine collected from the Chinaman, be remitted, was laid on the table with out discussion. Lee Pong was con victed last month on a liquor charge on the testimony of Carl Wilson and H. E. Uradley. the two detectives whose testimony was shaken at a later trial. This is the second letter from Mr. Hedges which has been laid on the table by the council. Councilman Albright read a section ot the city charter which provides that the city treasurer shall receive $1G0 a year. He declared that the city treas urer was receiving $100 a quarter and that the council was in nrj way authorized to pay the treasurer the sum he received. Treasurer Phillips explained to the council that since the Bancroft Improvement bonding law had gone into effect and the treas urer had been expected to do extra -work, the salary had been raised. He suggested that the treasurer be paid $160 a year, as provided In the char ter, and that enough paid in separate items tor extra Vork to keep the sal ary the same as it is at present. Councilman Albright moved that the council go into executive session, but his motion was voted down. With M. D. Latourette and Fred McCausland on the water board, the council feels that now it can compel the construc tion of a main to the elevator tower and Albright said that It was his in tention to bring up this matter. He added that a special meeting to be held next week, he would bring the operation of the shaft before the coun cil and move to request the board to lay the main. The city decided to complete Divis ion street, which was loft unfinished by the contractor, as soon as work on High street is finished. The work will be done under the direction of the street committee and the street superintendent. A special session of the council, probably Wednesday afternoon, is ex pected to take up several matters, In cluding the report of the finance com mittee, Main street paving and the operation ot the elevator. Mayor Jones said last night that the contract for the improvement Of Main street will probably be signed today. NO ARREST IS MADE The total absence of fireworks and injuries to youthful patriots was not the only thing that marked Independ ence day, J915, as a safe and sane event in Oregon City. Not one arrest was made by ths Oregon City police force or by the sheriff during the day. In fact it was more like a Sunday than the Fourth of July and it wjs not until picnic par ties began to come in during the late afternoon that the streets assumed usual busy appearance. ?.'ot even at Gladstone parte, where 7000 persons gathered to celebrate the Fourth, was there an srt'-st made, al though a number-of marhals were on the grounds.
