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.

The warrants drawn on the general
j fund during 1912 totalled $27,755
and were for the following purposes:
Salaries $1960.00
Fire and water 2045.73
Health and police 2271.85
Citv improvements 3960.28
Lights 4066.33
Printing and stationery . . . 689.90
Elections 89.00
Street cleaning '. . . 3685.50
Bonded interest 7993. 2S
Miscellaneous 992.91
Transfer ot the armory fund and
special Btreet fund referred to
brought the total of the above items
up to $30,111. 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."

TRENTON, N. 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. On
account of business demanding my
presence in New Jersey, I want tho
time between t he transfer from one
office to another to be as brief as
possible."

AWAV WITH DAUGHTER.
Following his act Monday in at
tempting, according to his threat, to
flee to California with his six-year-old
daughter, James H. Porter, of
Olalla, Is the defendant in a suit for

The suit for divorce filed by Mrs.

with a gun while half-crazed from
an attack of delirium tremens. In

Watson are her attorneys.
OREGON NEWS.
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. S. naval rocrultoig officer
who has been visiting Itoseburg at
regular Intervals for several months
past made his last visit hero tins
morning. A permanent recruiting
office will be maintained all the year
around at Eugene, Or., 518 Willam

HOWARD WINS ROUND ONE ON
HIS SUPERVISORY RILL.
SALEM, Or., Jnn. 20. Spirited
debnto occurred In tho House today
on tho question as to whether the
supervisory system for rural schools
should bo retained. It came on the
motion of Representative Howard, of
Douglas, to adopt the minority report
of the educational committee on bis
hill to repeal the law authorizing
school Biipervlsors. This report
recommended that the hill be passed,
which would mean the end of the
system. It was adopted 33 to 27.
Mr. Howard said that the super
visory system Is Impractical and un
popular, and advocated more pay ana
better teachers for country schools
In Its stead. A lively fight Is prom

passage.
