E LEFT ASTORIA EARLY THIS 111 Will Be Towed From River's Mouth to Coos Bay By : Simpson's Tug. CAPT. BOB LAWSON WILL HAVE CHARGE Should Reach Coos Bay Some time Sunday If Weather Is Favorable. Drs. E. Mingus and J. T. Mc- Cormac this afternoon received the following telegram from Walter Lyon who Is In Port- land: "Dredge left for Astoria to- day. Insurance requirements practically waived but dredge may be held at mouth of river for several hours awaiting best weather conditions." The tug Astoria which yesterday brought the barkentine Echo down to North Bend from the Columbia river, will start today for Portland to bring down the government dredge. The Astoria is owned by the Simpson Lumber Company and was the only one available for the work. Captain A. M. Simpson was inclined to object to the Astoria taking the time to bring the dredge down but Dr. J. T. McCormac, Dr. Mingus and J. Albert Matson called on him this morning and secured his consent. Another question has been raised concerning the bringing of the dredge and that is concerning the in surance. Major Mclndoe, the engin eer in charge of the Portland office, is away and those acting in his ab sence want to insure the dredge on the sea voyage. It will cost $1,500 and the office insists that this be paid out of the fund subscribed by the citizens of Coos Bay. An effort will be made to avoid this drain on the fund if possible. Cpt. Rob Lnwson After It. , It was stated this afternoon that Captain Bob Lawson of the Chehalls, who has been in the employ of A. M. Simpson and the Simpson Lumber Company for about forty years and who is regarded as one of the best navigators on the Oregon coast, left on the Astoria today to bring down the dredge. Unless bad weather in terferes, they should reach Astoria in time to leave there Friday with the dredge for Coos Bay. On this schedule, they would probably reach Coos Bay Sunday. niTS TAFT AGAIN. Bryan Says Republican Candidate Must Define Position. (By Associated Press.) PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 15. "Taft is dodging . He cannot es cape from the Issues. He will not be permitted to run away from them. He has accepted the nomination of his party. Now, let him take the people into his confidence and Inter pret the platform so the public may know where ho stands and what he Intends to do." In these words, Bryan in an interview today 'on his way to Baltimore issued another challenge to Taft. Bryan said that he had been a tariff reformer for twenty-eight years. He advocated the election of United States senators by the people twelve years ago. He has favored the Income tax for four teen years and Taft is only now com ing around to his position on these questions, Bryan says he advocated Independ ence of the Filipinos in 189G and that Taft has this year admitted that people must ultimately have inde pendence. "I have called attention to the fact that Taft made a mistake of $114,000,000 in his estimate of the cost of imperialism. Taft spends some time on money question. The money question has been taken out of politics because the unexpected discovery of gold has given an in crease which was demanded by the Republican as well as by the Demo crat party. Taft cannot escape the Issues. Will he define his position on the tariff, on labor and on the railroad questions? He will not be permitted to -run away from them." u TO INCREASE DEBT MAXIMUM City Council Will Submit Amendment to City Charter at Election. The Marshflold city council last evening heard an ordinance pro viding for the submission to the electors at the regular election Tues day, December 1, amendments to the municipal charter to increase the maximum municipal Indebtedness to about $100,000 and empowering the city council to dispose of bonds to take up the outstanding warrants amounting to about $40,000 or $45, 000. The amendment to the charter fixes a maximum indebtedness that shall fluctuate with the value of the property in the city, the proposed provision being that the maximum of the city's indebtedness shall never exceed five per cent of the assessed valuation of the city. Last night, Mayor E. E. Straw stated that the last assessment of the city showed the value of the property in the municipality to be slightly over $2, 000,000 so that at present the maxi mum of bonded Indebtedness would be $100,000. It was stated last night that the outstanding warrants are not con sidered as applying on this limita tion, that Is that Oregon courts have construed warrants against a city as a floating Indebtedness which shall not bo counted In estimating the public debt. However, the warrants in reality constitute just as much of a liability as do the bonds. In relation to the sale of bonds, the ordinance provides that Oregon bidders shall be given a preference in disposing of the securities, ajl other things being equal. Upon motion by Councilman Sac chi, the ordinance was not voted on last night, it being laid on the table until the next meeting. COL. STEWART IN EXILE. Veteran Could Not Take Ninety-Mile Ride.
