ROSEDURG, OREGON, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 21, 1013. No. 278. 4 N 1 f Ad Dual Exhibit Shows $20,400 Warrants Outstanding HAS $682 IN CASH ON HAND Binds Under Banc.c.t Law S w Total $179,000 AddHi-nal hsae of $22,000 Coming The city of Itoseburg started the present year with $(S2.12 in its gen eral fund treasury and with $2(1,400 in outstanding warrants against the same fund, according to the annual financial exhibit of City Recorder Carl 10. Wiiiibciiy, submitted to t ho city council .Monday night. Expendi- . tares during the year 1912 exceeded receipts by $114 1. 82. This total of outstanding warrants against the general fund is the ac cumula'ion in' four successive years since 190S, the taxes and revenues of the city dining that period having failed to fuliy meet the current in debtedness, which is now $l.".,tnin in excess or t ho $.".Oilll limit, ullowed by tile charter. The present year will probably show a net gain, aside from tho $1)000 to lie invested in a com bined auto fire engine and truck, as proposed. That, however, together with other fire apparatus and equip ment, w ill probably lie made tin' sub ject of a special bond issue to be sub mitted to the voters. The annual deficit last year of $94fj is by far the smallest in any one year since 190S, thanks to the care ful and eonomical business methods of Mayor Micelli and his councilmanic colleagues. Eliminating the armory fund, the city shows tin actual net gain of over $1 200 during 1912. The . year before Mlcelll assumed the ilayoralty duties the city's deficit was Wcr $SOO0. Receipts and Disbursements. Receipts during the year 1912, as shown by the Recorder's report, to- tailed $29,1 till, lowing items: Fines Taxes licenses Dog licenses .

This was made up of principal and interest on cancelled warrants amounting to $27, lino, a special ap propriation of $2 HiO for an armory anil $190 for n deficit in a special street improvement fund. To the receipts for the year were added $1 17:!, easlt on hand at the beginning of the year. DO YOU APPRECIATE A clean store, high grade meats, courteous attention, prompt dell erics?

Deducting from thiB the $29,166 in cash receiptB during 1912 leaves the deficit of $945 for that period. City warrants outstanding on Jan uary 1, 1912, totalled $19,188. Dur ing 1912 there wero issued $27,755 worth more, making a total of $46, 943. In the same period warrants were paid to tho totul amount of $26,539, leaving outstanding on the first of this year $20,404 worth. Itiinilcil Debt $100,(100. Exclusive of its $20,404 worth of outstanding warrants on accumu lated deficits for current expenses, tho city's bonded indebtedness ia shown by the recorder's report to be $100,000. Of that sum, $25,000 rep resents the city hall and sewer issue which ran originally for 20 years uud had to be refunded In 1912 for 20 years more. The remaining $75,000 represents the city'B two paving bond sues, one for $40,000 the other for $35,000, both maturing in 20 years. The larger issue draws 4 per cent Interest, the other 5 per cent, us does the $25,000 flotation. In addition to the bonds issued by the city in its own name, the.eity has filiated for individuals $194,420 under the Bancroft 10-year install-1 ment law to meet unpaid street pav- .ng and sewer assessments. There are eight distinct issues of tills character. To date $15,465 worth of; such bonds have been paid, leaving $1 78,955 worth still due. Another Rond Issue Soon. An ordinance introduced at the council meeting Monday night con templates an enlargement of tho list or Bancroft bonds to meet unpaid assessments for paving in the south ern part of the city. The total cost of the pavement involved is $29,158, of which only $6823 has been paid. The remainder of $22,335 is to be covered by Bancroft bonds as pro vided In the new ordinance, which will probably bo passed next Monday night. The streets embraced in this proceeding, the cost of paving each and the amount of such cost to be covered by bonds are: Stephens, from Brockway to Rob erts, $10,913; bonds, $8568. Pine, from Floed to Burke, $9092; bonds, $6251. Jackson, from Mosher to liaynes, $9154; bonds, $7516. Police Court Flues Ixss. Recorder Winiberly's exhibit shows that during the year 1912 he col lected in police court fines the total sum of $324.50. as against $446.50 tho year before. In 1912 he penal ized 20 cases of drunkenness, a do crease of 73 from 1911. Other classes of rases during last yenr numbered as follows; Disorderly conduct 15, vagrancy 8, dog license delinquents 7, using profane language 6, boys disregarding curfew 0, practicing palmistry without license 6, conduct ing bawdy house 2, assault and bat tery 2, exceeding speed limit 2, wir ing without permit 1. In concluding his report In general, the recorder makes the following no tations for the benefit of prospective bond buyers: Assessed valuation of all taxable property iu the city, exclusive of pub lic service corporations, during the year 1912, $2,454,125. Estimate for 1913 inclusive of public service cor porations, $2,533,000. Basing this as being 70 per cent o( the actual value, the property now within tho city is worth approximately $3,600, 000. Population, 1910 census, 1837; estimate for 1913 is 6000. Property value per capita, $600. Another important factor in favor of the city's nuances for the current year Is brought out In the recorder's annual report. This shows that while $7993.28 were paid out on ac count of bonded interest, during 1913 there will become due only $4800 to1 be paid out of the general fund on , this account, the remainder to be . provided out of the special street lni-l provement and sewer funds. This will show a gain of nearly $3200 in favor of the general fund. Bonded interest heretolore paid front the general fund is also to lie replaced therein as rapidly as the annual pay- meuts are. made Into the several Bancroft bonding funds so this can be done. Miscellany. An ordinance was introduced to: Increase the tire wards by the addi-j tions or blocks 1 8, 30, 50 and 51 and the tin thvest iu;:rt(T of block No. 37. This is in accordance with the recommendation of 111? fire nnd v.'atuii commission. Fontr! & Duntley, proprietors of U local cigar store and billiard liall.i asked for a refund of $12.50 in over paid license. They paid a six months rate of $17.50 under the proposed new license law, but finding they stood alone in obedience to the new schedule demanded that they be placed back under the old rate of $5. To be impartial in the matter, the council granted their request. The continued failure of the water company to supply Second Avenue South, Kinney's Addition, with an adequate supply of water for domes tic nnd flre-fightlng purposes was the subject of sharp discussion, resulting In the committee on lire and water being Instructed to make a final In vestigation and report at the next meeting of the council. After that, the water company will be requested to lay the necessary mains or some tiling's will happen. "Hadn't we better find out first Just what we want'.'" queried Coun cilman Fullerton. "No," replied Al Creasotl. "Make up your mind what you're going to haveand then have it."

J., .Ian. 21. "If an Inaugural reception is hold, my wife and daughters will bo there." This was Woodrow Wtlson'B answer today to reports that .Mrs. Wilson and her three daughters would not take part in the public, reception on the day of the Inauguration. "I merely asked," added Wilson, "that Mrs. Wilson und our daughters be excused from hand shaking. It would be hard on them to stand in line all arternoon and 1 see no reason wily they should." Wilson characterized as ridiculous reports that the proposed inaugural ball was abandoned because Mrs. Wilson feared the guests would dance the obnoxious "Turkey Trot," "Bunny Hug", nnd "Texas Tommy." New Jersey affairs will occupy Wilson's attention to the time of the Inauguration. Ho wants It under stood that no fuss shall be made over Ills trip to Washington. "I don't expect to- go to Washing ton until March 3," ho said. "Of course I don't expect to have a special car for the trip. I don't expect any friends or committees as an escort, cither. There will be no outsiders in our party, just Mrs. Wilson, my self and our daughters. ' I expect to continue as Governor of New JerBey until I start for Washington.

Porter, of Olalla, Is the defendant in a suit for divorce and under un injunction Is sued by Judge Hamilton In the Cir cuit Court Monday evening restrain ing him from removing the child from the jurisdiction of the court and depriving him from the custody of her at the present time.

Tho prediction that the business of growing and mnrkctlng loganberries will In a short time mean $10,000, 000 annual revenue to Oregon, and particularly the Willamette Valley, was made some tlmo ago by Profes sor C. I. Lewie, of the Oregon Agri cultural College. As a delicious fruit with cream and sugar the big berries have obtained a Western Oregon fame. They make rich, toothsome pies. But other trulls also go well witli cream and sugar and in pIcb. The prediction was based on tho dis covery that the pure Juice of the loganberry is a beverage more sparkling und refreshing than grape juice, and that tho production aero for acre of loganberries can be made more productive and profitable than grapeB. Tho 1912 crop of loganber ries In the Willamette. Valley covered only about 200 acres. But they sold at $80 a ton, nnd an aero produced an average of five tons. Four hund red dollars an acre moro than the first cost of the land. Before the end of next summer tho entire Southern Pacific main line between Portland and San Francisco will bo protected by automatic block signal system. In order thus to In crease the operating safety and effi ciency of the road, it will bo neces sary to build moro than 200 miles of signal service. Installation of thiK system will mean an outlay of fully $400,000 for material and labor. At present tho Southern Pacific Is pro tected the entire distance between Ashland and San Francisco, and at leading stations and yardB, as well ns points where there Is much curva ture, the automatic block signals are already In use. Some places there aro 10 to 15 miles of track under blocks, but the lurgest part of the distance from Portland to Ashland Is not so taken care of. Tim U.
