This, with other sources of Income, will vleld a total of S9f0 for the ensuing year for all city purpose.

PIPELINE'S CAPACITY OVER THREE MILLION TEST WILL BE MADE AS SOON AS WEST LINN LlriE CAN BE PUT TO USE. MARRIAGE LICENSES ISSUED Ijiura Wldmer and Leo Rath, of (ieorge, and Adeline Oasser and Ilert M. Hubbard, of Marquam. secured mar riage license from County Clerk Har rington Wednesday. Threo million gallons Is a conserva tive estimate of the cnpnclty of the South Fork pipe line und the actual amount of wnter which can flow through tho line In 24 hours will prob ably, be nearer the three and a half million gallons mark. This Is the opin ion of Harold A. Rnndn, although he is not anxious to make a statement in this regard. The valves at tho Intake are not yet half opened, yet a million and a half gallons of water Is being poured Into the reservoir at Mountain Vlow every day. I Owing to the fart that the waste pipe on the reservoir Is not large enough to carry off two or two and a half million gallons a day, test cannot he made at the present time. However, as soon as the West Linn system Is completed, and the West Linn pipe can be used to carry off water, the valve at the Intake will be opened and the flow measured. FUNDS DEPOSITED HERE WILL BE USED TO DEVELOPE CLACKAMAS COUNTY. Clackamas comity money Is to bo used In developing Clnckumas county and not In buying the war bonds of tho allies, declared Oregon City bankers Monday. Money gathered In Oregon City and Clackamas county will remain at home, Is the vnrdlct of local bank-erg. "Of course, I cannot say what the other bank will do, but I ran say posi tively that our institution will do Its best to keep Clackamas county money for use in developing this section of the Willamette valley," declared M. P. Latnorette, vice-president of the First National bank. "It Is my belief that It would he doing an Injustice to both the community nnd to our depositors to loan monoy to warring nntloas when, during the present stringent times, we t can lend assistance to our clients." Percy Cauflold, of tho Rank of Ore gon City, had much the same state ment to make. "Our bank is not In the field for such Investments," he said. "We will continue our policy, as In tho past, of helping In the up building of this city and county." He added that his bank hnd received many inquiries regarding the policy of buy ing bonds Issued by the belligerents. Communications have been received by both banks for purchasing these bonds, but they have been thrown Into the waste basket as soon a received. NEW YORK. ttov. . yteturns at) midnight imllclnteil the election of Mc Call, Republican, as governor of Massa-chust'tts. The Indicated majority for Harring ton (Pern.), running for governor of Maryland, was 5000 in tho city of Balti more shortly after 11 p. tn. No reports from the Maryland counties had been received. The voters of the states of New York. Massachusetts and Pennsylvania defeated by a large majority tho pro posal to grant the suffrage to women. The Republicans have a safe ma jority In the nrw state assembly In New York. Early returns In the mayoralty elec tion In Philadelphia Indicated the elec tion of Thomas II. Smith, Republican. Prohibition In the state of Ohio was sure of defeat, according to the esti mates of local politicians. They aver red the votes against the measure would be 60,000. George Puchta, Kepubllcan, was elected mayor of Cincinnati. Detroit, Mich., voting on a plan to purchase the local street railroads. showed from 89 precincts out of 202, for, 14,351 votes, and against. 14.61S. In New Jersey the Republicans gain ed two state senators, which will make the next Bennte stand 13 Republicans to eight Democrats, and the house 37 Republicans and 25 Democrats. In Kentucky, where a governor is being elected, both Republican and Democratic leader are claiming victory. In Massachusetts also the suffrage amendment went down to defeat, the vote from 938 precincts out of 1140 being 95,077 for and 178,192 against the measure. Suffrage was equally unfortunate in Pennsylvania. The returns were slow in coming in, but the defeat of the proposal by an overwhelming majority was indicated. Tb rounty tax Irvy, wblrb will b made wltbln lb next few weeka, will be slightly larger than tb lavy made year ago, believe County Judge Ao derapn. The levy mad a year ago and connected thl year waa 31 mill Judge Anderson doe not know Just how much thl Increase will be, but aay that It will be only llghL Th ncceaalty for higher levy waa not cauaed by any act of the county court, but by the new reglatratlon law enacted by th laat leglalatur and the two election next year. Tbes Item, Judge Anderson estimate, will cost the county about $10,000. The county court haa been at work on the county budget for aeveral week and It will probably be completed aometime next work. Completion of the estimates was delayed by the new tate high school tuition fund law, which create a special county fund to pay tuition of high school students who live In a district without a high chool. Through County School Super intendent Calavan, Judge Anderson Is securing a list of tuition student In each of the five standard high schools In the county. It Is evident from the information and figure now in the hand of Coun ty Judge Anderson that $40,000 will be spent for tuition under this now law thla year. The tax to pay this tuition Is raised In school districts not sup porting a standardized high school and a levy of one mill or over will be re quired to raise the fund. The county court spends about $20, 000 each year for widows' pensions and for the county poor. At the tax payers' meeting a year ago, it was de cided to appropriate $2500 for the first payment on a county poor farm. but the court has been compelled to use Uiis money as well as the -sum allowed for the work in supporting the poor of the county. 1 Judge Anderson said yesterday thai he had heard no demand for a lower road levy and intimated that the court will probably recommend the same levy to the taxpayers. Asked if he favored a special levy for hard surface roads, he replied that he would con sider such a scheme if he was con vinced that it was legal.

How the British strengthened their artillery by the in troduction of new weapons and the skillful handling of the old along the front In Flanders, where the Germans were driven back in the greta offen sive of September 25, ia the chief dis closure of popular interest In a long official dispatch from Field Marshal Sir John French to Earl Kitchener, which is published tonight under date of general headquarter In France, Oc tober 15. These, General French says, were al most continuous from the day of the big British attack up to and including October 8. Then, the field marshal writes, the Germans delivered an at tack with some 28 battalions in the front line and with larger forces in support, which was preceded by a very heavy bombardment in all parts of the German front. "At all points of the line except two the Germans were repulsed with tre mendous loss and it is computed on re liable authority they left some 8000 or 9000 dead in front of the Britsh and French trenches," General French says. Of the use by the Britsh forces of gas. Field Marshal rYencn says me repeated use of gos by the Germans compelled him to resort to a simitar method. "A detachment was organized for this purpose and took part in the oper ations, commencing September 20, for the first time," says the field marshal. "Although the enemy was known to have been prepared for such reprisals, our gas attack met with marked suc cess, producing a demoralizing effect In some of the opposing units, of which ample evidence was forthcoming in captured trenches," $75 IS JUDGMENT IN RIGHT OF WAY SUIT FORMER OWNER DEMANDS DAM AGES FROM WILLAMETTE VALLEY SOUTHERN. A Jury in the circuit court Wednes day night returned a verdict for $75 for the plolntlff in. the suit of F. W Blessing against the Willamette Val ley Southern. The Jury was out about two hours and a half. The right of way Involved Is located near Maple Lane and crosses a ten- acre tract formerly owned by the plaintiff. Blessing was the owner of the property when the line was built He was living in Portland at the time and alleges that he knew nothing of the .construction of the road or of a contract for the right of way signed bya previous owner, which was pro duced hy the Willamette Valley South ern after the line was built. Judge Campbell held that the plain tiff was entitled to receive payment foT the use of the property only dur ing the two years and a half he owned The Jury viewed the land Wednes day morning.

Mayor Jones explained to the coun cil that he bad found It on his table and did not know who wrote it After the meeting be said City Attorney Schuebe! had presented it to him. Mr. Schuebel said that the ordinance had "undoubtedly come from Portland," J but beyond that bad nothing to say. The ordinance Is much different from the mcasura) which was knocked out by a permanent Injunction granted by Circuit Judge Bagley a month ago. It provides that the council shall name a Jitney inspector and that every car shall be Inspected at least once a month. Every car. under its terms, must have a license which the council is given power to grant The ordinance covers several pages and is well supplied with large blank spaces which the council is expected to fill In. The license fee, the amount of the bond which is also provided, and other points are left entirely at the discretion of the council by the person or persons who drafted the measure. Another clause provides that Jitneys shall be divided Into two classes those operating entirely within the city and those running through the city. The ordinance would charge a different li cense fee for cars, according to their capacity. Another Meeting Fridayi At the end of the ordinance Is an emergency clause, so that as soon as it passed upon the second reading of the council it would become a law. The council will meet again Friday afternoon to consider the ordinance. An ordinance 'appropriating $1300 for the purchase of a street flusher was laid on the table, until tests now being made with a two-inch hose are completed. Henry M. Templeton? chairman of the street committee, was not present at the meeting, although a note signed by him was read to the effect that he figured cleaning the streets with a hose would cost the city at least $190 a month nnd that the city would be forced to huy a new hose every two months. Robert Sarton, who has cleaned the street for over three years, offered to do the work for $120 a month. Budget Cut Coming. City Attorney Schuebel sprung one of the surprises of the evening when he announced that it would be neces sary for the city to cut half a mill from its levy in order to comply with the charter. The council had figured on a 10 mil levy for municipal purposes and .5 mill for the library fund. He ex plained that the council could not levy 10.5 mills and that must be cut back to 10 mills. This matter will be brought again at the taxpayers' meet ing. A bill from the Oregon Engineer A Construction company for $3232.14 for laying a main from the reservoir to the elevator was presented to the coun cil. Only $3100 was appropriated for this work and the matter was referred to the elevator committee. New Streets Accepted. Main, Third, Tenth and Seventh streets, all paved by the Standard Pav ing company, were accepted. The to tal cost of Main street waa $14,154. Twenty per cent of the cost of these streets are held back under the agree ment between the paving company and the city. A warrant was ordered drawn for $150. the final payment on the work, in favor of the recorder which will be presented to the contractors . when the company has settled all claims. A bill of $22 for medical attention for the son of Mr. and Mrs. G. R. Cook. who wa6 injured during the firemen's tournament The firemen paid $25 for medical attention, but the hoy was more seriously injured than was first supposed.
