Inati-ad of maintaining au office, the

whli-h may m at hand, t'nder tho
old budget, :khO waa allowed for the

It will probably be noccaaary to con-
lliiuii the office for two or three
montha after the beginning of tha new
year so that at reel work now under

The abolishment of the office fol
lowed thn dexialon of the council to

Tho pollen department, next to the
office of city engineer, waa thn heavi
est euffcivr. Tho ralary of the chief
of police would be reduced from $100
to fib a month, under the plan, and
enrh of the night men would receive
$1.1 Inati-ad of $75. One of the night
men would ba taken from the force to

Attorney' Salary Cut.
The only cut In the street depart
ment I a reduction in the salary of
thn iiipcrlntendcnt of Bttvets from
$100 to $75. At the request of Com
missioner liabcock, no cuts were made
in the salary of the laborers In the
employ of the city.
Tho salary of tho city attorney was
rut from $0 a month to $75. 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.
A formal budget will be drafted and
presented to tho council at the regu

In the hope of consolidating the of
fice of city recorder with a second city
office, or turning nil the work Into the
hands of one person, no definite step

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.

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."

How to Prevent Croup.
It may be a surprise to you to learn
that In many cases croup can be pre
vented. Mrs. H. M. Johns, Elida,
Ohio, relates her experience as fol
lows: "My little boy Is subject to
croup. During the past winter I kept
a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy ia the house, and when he began
having that croup cough I would give
him one or two doses of it and It
would break the attack. I like it bet
ter for children than any other cough
medicine because children take It will
ingly, and it is safe and reliable."
Obtainable everywhere. (Adv.)
During the last week there has been
general shake-up of Oregon City at
torneys which ba left only a few un
affected. Law firms and partnership
bave been broken and new ones
formed at a rate which ba hardly
been equaled for several years.
W. S. U'Ren, defeated candidate for
governor and known as "father ot the
Oregon system," will no longer be with
Ren and Scbuebel, but will go to
Portland where he baa formed partner
ship with Frank Hesse. L. SUpp will
become Mr. Schuebel's partner.
Justice of tbe Peace Slevers Is no
longer with D. N. Hicks in the Woln-
hart building. Hi new offices on
Main street, near tbe Star theatre.
were opened Monday and it Is rumored
on good authority that Charles Sle
vers, brother of the Justice, will move
from tbe Beaver building to settle near
the courtroom.
The partnership of Brownell and
Stone has been dissolved and William
Stone will open offices in the Beaver
building. Charles Moulton, now a stu
dent, will probably become a partner
of Mr. Stone if he passes the bar ex
amination, according to reports Mon
day. George C. Brownell, former
mayor of Oregon City and high in the
Republican counsels of the state, will
maintain his offices in the same building.
Only a few days have passed since
the firm of Cross and Hammond ex
panded and Thomas Burke was taken
into the partnership. The firm Is now
known as Cross, Hammond and Burke.

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."
LONG ILLNESS FATAL
10
Mrs. Annetta Albright, a native of
Clackamas county, died Thursday at
her home in this city at the age of 46
years, after an Illness ot several
months. She was the wife of F. E. Al
bright
Mrs. Albright's maiden name was
Annetta Jack and she was the sister of
County Assessor J. E. Jack, A. F. Jack
of this city; W. S. Jack, of Sllverton;
Barton B. Jack, ot Woodburn, and Mrs,
Suslan Hook, of Mt Angel. Her hus
band survives her. She was born near
Marquam and has spent almost all of
her life in her native state.
The funeral will be held at 12 o'clock
Sunday at tho Methodist church and
interment will be in Mountain View
cemetery. The body is held at the
Holman undertaking parlors.
With lha announcement from E. C.
Ilackett Thuraday afternoon that he
would not file bla petition for mayor,
the local political situation has benn
changed conalderably.
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.
WEST 11 TAX RATE
LOWEST IN COUNTY
Of all the incorporated towns and
cities in Clackamas county, West Linn
will will probably have the lowest
tax levy.
At a school meeting held in the Sun
set building Tuesday night, a tax of 3
mills was. levied for the district. OI
this levy 2.6 mills will be used for
maintenance and .4 mills for repairs.
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.
COUNTY DRYS SPEND $525
The Committee of One Hunarea for
Clackamas county spent $525.50 in tbe
late campaign, according to the state
ment filed with the secretary of state
by L. Adams, treasurer ot the organ
ization. The Prohibition party spent
$14,454.18 in the state campaign.
