City At torney Schunbel recommended to the council that thn office of city attorney be done away with and a city proso- eutor be appointed Instead. When tho council failed to adopt this plan he sail 'hut ho favored reducing the sal ary of thn city attorney from $90 a month to $500 a yenr, so that the re duction In that office would corrc spond to other cuts. The council re fused to follow his advice although Mnyor Jones favored tho second plan suggested by Mr. Schuebel.

MILL WORKER KILLS SELF The story of the adoption of Helens Alvri and of subsequent adventures which extended from 1903 to the pres ent time, ended Tuesday evening wheu County Judgo Andcison sent the girl, now aged 16 years, back to the Hoys' and Girls' Aid Society in Portland. The atory began In 1903 when the parents of Ileleno AIvcs, then living In Clackamas county, failed to provide for her. She was taken before the County Judge Ryan and committed to the aid aoctoty. Bha waa adopted alt er a few months in the Portland In stitution by Mrs. Ilelle Darker who took the girl to her home In Washington. Helene lived In the Washington town eight years when Mr. and Mrs. ftarker separated and the girl went back to the aid society in Portland. Early this year, Mrs. J. W. Martin, of Hood River, took the girl to her home. In the meantime, Mrs. Darker moved to Dalles and about three months ago she went to Hood River and while the Martin family was at church, she ran away with the girl and took nor to Dulles. Mrs. Rarker attempted to secure an adoption from the Polk county court but was not successful. Then stie brought proceedings In the circuit court but the girl was committed yto the Roys' and Girls' Aid Society again. When the time came to take her to Portlond. the girl could not be found and there was no trace of her until she began proceedings In the Clacka mas county court to have tne order ot 1903 committing her to the aid so ciety, vacated. Her petition was retusea, and sne will return to tho Portland institution. The girl did not appear through a guardlon. Judge Grant B. Dlmlck rep resented the Hoys and Girls Aid so ciety and Glenn O. Holmnn and Wal ter' A. Tooze, Jr., for the girl.

Mayor Jonea haa filed hla pe tition and the one of Judice Dlmlck will bo recorded within a few daya. Judge Dlmlrk outllnea bis platform In the following etau-ment: Office la Diataetrful. "I bave recently been presented with a petition aliened by a large num her of the realdent of Oregon City aaklng me to Ucome a candidate for the ofllco of mayor, and while that ac tion upon my part la distasteful to me and alao to my biialnraa aasoclate. neverthelem. I feel that the condition now existing In Oregon City should be changed. In order that the good nanu- of tho city will not be continually em barasaed by unfavorable newspaper re port a. which lead people throughout the atate to Imagine that the corpora tion of Oregon City I ready to go In to the binds of a receiver. Hrgardleis of who Is elected to th office of mayor or councllmen, the hualneaa policies or the city should be regulated o that the citizen or bank who purchase outstanding warrant would have confidence In the ability of the city to redeem it warrants In the due course of business. Financial Cut Favored. The number of officer and the amount of their compensation, togeth er with other fixed charge of the city was eatabllshed when saloon licenses were paid to the city treasury, and un der the old saying, 'come easy, go easy.' extravagance prevailed and aft er the local option election Inst year the source of revenuo derived from the miloon licenses was cut off, and then the running expenses of the city de pended almost entirely upon direct taxation, therefore, in a few montha after the license revenue was cut off and the running expense of the city continued a before, a deficiency on our balance sheet naturally presented Itself, which caused the citizens and banka who usually handle our war rants, to refuse to purchnse thoin, as there waa no possibility of the city be ing able to redeem within a reasonable length of time. "One of the first things to be done with our city Is to cut off every dollar of useless expense, and at the same time not cripple the efficiency of mu nicipal govrnment. There should be a large deduction from the present ex pense in the city engineer's office, city attorney, city recorder and the police department and by eliminating to a large degree the system of fines, and Install instead a system of jail sen tences without Indulging too freely In the parole Bystem, a marked decrease In petty offences will immediately be come noticeable. Amendment Needed, He Saya. "Wo now have a large amount of In debtedness represented In outstand ing general fund warrants which are causing considerable anxiety among the holders. These warrants are draw ing 6 per cent interest, and it will be necessary to marshal this warrant in debtedness and amend the charter so as to issue bonds for the amount of that indebtedness and as municipal bonds at 5 per cent per annum, inter est payable semi-annually, are In de mand, the city can errect a saving or 1 ner cent between the rate ot interest represented in the bonds as compared with the present rate or interest on the warrants. This character amend ment should not enrry with it an extra arbitrary levy, as the taxpayers will not permit a heavier levy than we now have, unless after a liberal reduction of our present municipal expenses shall have been made, and they are convinced that a heavier levy than the charter now permits Is necessary to pay the running expenses of the city, make the necessary tmprove-i ments and pay the interest on our present municipal Indebtedness, and also create a sinking fund to be used to diminish the principal. Pure Water Favored. "This is not time to think about pro viding jobs for a few 'pets'. We must not let such trifles ot personal interest obscruo the big question, which Is the welfare and upbuilding of the whole city. Before we talk about turning off street lights for economy's sake, we should look about us to see if some 'turning off can't be done In places where the city's welfare will not suf fer in the least. "There is a growing sentiment In this city for a supply of water free from the possibility of contamination, and I was one ot the first who con tributed private funds toward a sur vey with that purpose in view, nnd sincerely hope that some day in the near future our dreams ot mountain water will be a reality. This question however, Is one for the legal voters of the city and not a question for the mayor or council to determine. I have always been opposed to a wooden pipe line, which Is subject to early decay, and believe that when a water system has once been established at great cost, Its permanent character will be an asset and not an expense to keep in repair."

AI E PASADENA, Cal., Nov. 19. Dr. Rob ert J. Burdette, the noted preacher, author and humorist, died at his home here today. He had been ill for the greater part of two years, and for a .week hail remained in a state of coma. Robert J. Burdette began cultivating good humor obscurely in Peoria, 111., 40 years ago when he spent part of his days at a desk on the Peoria Transcript "trying to think," as he himself once related, "of pleasant things to tell the folks when I went home at night." His audience of "folks" then was Carrie Garrett, the Peoria girl he had married a short time before, while she lay supposely on her death bed, but who lived, and, though an Invalid for life, became immortalized by her husband as "Her Little Serene Happiness." It was she who encouraged him to sow his humor In wider fields. At her bedside Burdette became prolific with fnn-making contributions to the Bur llngtion (la.) Hawkeye, and through these he became famous the country over as "the uurlington Hawkeye man."

Mayor Jonea haa already filed his petition with Recorder Uwler for re- cltM'tlnn. JuiU-e (irant II. Dlmlrk wa presented wlih a petition containing 2M naniee Thuraday and slthotigb he announced at the time that ba bas reared no deeUlon. It I generally un derstood that be will l a candidate. No other poaulM candidate for ibe mayor'a rhalr bave been mentioned and It 1 freely predicted that th rare will be between Mayor Jones sod Judge Dlmlck snd not a three cor nered fight as wss thought only a week sxo. Clear Choice, Hackett's Object In retiring from the field. Mr. Ilackett wluhe the voter to face clearly a choice between Mr. Jonea and Judge Dlmlrk. He sake bla frl-nde lo vote for Mayor Jones if they wlab a continuation of tbe present ad mlnlatratlon and for Judge Dlmlck if they wlab a change. Mr. Ilackett announced early lait week that be would be a candidate, al though many of bia friend at the time were of the opinion that be might withdraw before December t when all petition must be filed. He I now com pleting hi first year a councilman and during bl service with the coun cil, bas always etood for strict econ omy. If be had remained In the race, It is known that 1m would have fa vored drastic cuts in tbe city's expen ditures. Tbe petition which wa presented to Judge Dlmlrk Thursday ba been In the band of bl friend for leveral week. The itatement which was Igued by the 250 voters follows: Dlmlck's Record Approved. We believe that the city adminis tration during tbe coming year, should have the counsel ot a strong, experi enced and capable executive. In sub scribing our names hereto we express our conviction that Judge Grant B. Dlmlck, In tbe capacity ot mayor can again, as heretofore, render tha city splendid service and we call upon him, even if it require a personal sacrifice, to allow bis name to be presented to tbe electors at tbe December election." Both Mayor Jones and Judge Dlm lck approve of a policy of economy. The present executive Indorses tbe plan of the council to draft a budget and hold the city within that estimate for the next year. Mayor Jones also favors tbe Improvement ot Main street at tbe expense ot the property owners, the completion and operation of tbe Seventh street elevator at as early a date as possible and the construction of the pipeline from the south fork ot the Clackamas river. Judge Dlmlck has tuken no stand on the elevator and does not favor the construction ot a wooden line from the Clackamas, as he believes that It will not be durable. R. E. Woodward File. It is generally understood that May or Jones would re-appoint City Attor ney Schuebel and Recorder Loder if the voters select him to succeed him self. Judge Dimick has not hinted what he would do with these two im portant offices but it is considered probable that Attorney Schuebel would not be re-appointed. R. E. Woodward has filed his pe tition with Recorder Loder for tbe council from the first ward to succeed F. Albright. He is the first can didate to declnre himself from that section of the city, although J. J. To bin and Councilman Albright have been mentioned. A petition has been put in circula tion asking Richard Greaves to be come a candidate from the third ward but it has not been filed. No other candidate has appeared for this place. With the entrance of John Bittner Into the race for the council from tho first ward, there are now three candi dates from each of the three wards in the city. Friends of Mr. Bittner put a petition In circulation for him Monday and be fore nightfall, it contained far more than the required number ot signers. It will probably be filed early this week. Mr. Bittner served several years on the council. i The candidates for the council as they are now lined up are: Ward one, R. E. Woodward, J. F. Albright and John Bittner; ward two, George Grif fith, James Shannon and Roy F. Cox, and ward three. E. B. Van Auken, George Roberts and Robert Greaves.

The total tax levy in the town across the river will probably bo about 24 mills. The state and county rates combined will be in the neighborhood of 19 mills and the West Linn City levy is 2 mills.
