Hn1 of ttmtiki, lir ocr line CITY FINANCtS A resolution was introduced at the council meeting last night providing for a charter amendment authorizing the re funding of warrants on the general fund to the amount of $20,000 with bonds drawing six percent, $4,000 of the issve to fall due every four years and providing further that the council cannot issue warrants in any one year in excess of of that years income. The intention is to place the credit of the city on a cash basis, which is certainly commendable. The idea of refunding the present float ing debt is not new but has been sug gested at intervals for a number of years. The objection which heretofore prevented action from being taken, was the fear that after the floating debt had been bonded, itwaspossible thatanextravagant council might create another debt which would again cause the warrants to be discounted and the cty would be no bet ter off than under the present system. By amending the charter and providing that the indebtedness shall not exceed the income, is for the purpo-e of eliminating the heretofore objection and is worthy of consideration. The city thru its depre ciated paper has paid thousands of dollars for service that was never rendered. from the fact that a city dollar was only worth from 65 cents to 95 cents. At present the city piper is only discovnted five cents on a d iliar. The finance com mittee now have this matter under con sideration and will doubtless report their deliberations at the next meeting. The lawyers in a court room at Par kersburg, W. Va., a few days ago had probably one of the most unusual exper iences ever falling to the lot of members of their profession. An indictment of a prisoner was '.aid by the prosecuting at torney on the lawyer's table and when wai.ted, it was missing. The prosecut ing attorney declared that it had been stolen , and the judge ordered .all the at ujfiiyi pie&ttitl lu be fceaiuicu. tint was done by the sheriff 's officers but the document could not be found. A grand jury investigation was ordered, with wha result it is not yet known. Imagine the sensation of a lot of honorable members of the bar on being subjected to a search. Unless the United States pure food commission changes its mind the people of the United States will soon be using granulated sugars that have a distinctly yellowish tinge. The commission has decreed that no mineral bluing substance be used in bleaching sugars. Sugar chemists say they use four pounds of mineral bluing substance to every 1,000 000 pounds of sugar for bleaching pur poses. This, the sugar chemists say, is not adulteration; it is merely purification by a thoroughly healthful process. The pure food commission can not see it in that light and insists that thehitening process be abandoned. The action of the county court in re placing the present wooden bridges as fast as they become worn out with steel structures is commendable. If this policy is adheared to it will be out a matter of a short time before the county will be equipped with a strictly first class set of bridges. While the first cost of a steel bridge may be a little larger than that of a wooden one, the ccst of maintair.ence is much less and the life of the steei bridge is many times that of the wooden ' one. Let the good work of improving the public highways continue. Better roads means cheaper transportation, and cheap er transportation means m. re profits r'or all who use the roads.

The foun dation was laid this year for a largj per manent payroll in addition to splendid payrolls that tms city has enjoyed for many year!. But we must not stop at j this. Every aaditional payroll makes it much eas er to secure another. A deter mined and united effort will place this city in the tenthousand class by the time the next Un ted States census will be taken, which is only three years hence. The entire Northwest is growing and will grow rapidly during the next three year and the wide awake progressive commun ities are important factors in securing new active capital. The Observer; wo jld be pleased tj ave an expression ! from any one wha may -av an idea ' that looks feasible towards the pos.-' bilities of securing aJJit.onal payrolls or ; in fact anything that wu'cl help the ad- ' vancement of the city.
