Mrs. P. K. Drake, whose home is in Aberdeen, Washington, is in Oregon City, where she is visiting. An attack upon the figures on the indebtedness of Clackamas county ad vanced by the sponsors of the move to recall County Judge Harvey E Cross, la expected during the cam paign that will be waged in the event that the recall measure is placed upon the ballot. The petitions being cir culated to recall Cross contains sta tistics upon the amount of warrants outstanding against county funds, in tended to show that Cross' adminis tration has Increased rather than de creased the indebtedness as was his pledge when he ran for office. The figures submitted by the .re- callers are expected to be attacked from two bases, perusal of the records indicates, although no formal move has been made by Cross supporters, nor has the judge offered any state ment in defense of his positon. The expected reasons are: Accuracy Is Attacked. 1. That the figures as given in the recall petitions are not accurate. 2. That the figures as cited are not truly representative and are not a mathematically correct basis for com- j parison of the warrant indebtedness for the years m question. On the petition, the recallers cite that Cross took office on an economy platform, at a time, December 31 1920, when the warrant indebtedness then outstanding amounted to $359,- 636.62. Figures in the county trea surer's office, open to public perusal show it is claimed, that the actual warrant indebtedness at that date was 5325,236.72. Cross supporters will doubtless point out that this alleged discrepancy Is in the judge's favor, for it gives a larger warrant indebted ness at the beginning of his Incum bency than actually existed, and would makt the increase during his admin istration comparatively smaller. But they are also expected to enter the plea tb.it the inaccuracy would cast a reflection upon all of the statistics that are presented. Tape Payment Makes Change. SilverTon Represented. S. W. Miller, of Silverton, was in Oregon City on Monday, coming here on business. Aurora Man Transacts Business. Louis Kelling, of Aurora, was in the city on Monday. He was among those transacting business here. Ohio Physician Visits. Dr. H. D. Nichols, prominei pro-j fessional man of Ravenna, Ohio, has been spending several days in Oregon City. Dr. Nichols made his first trip to Oregon City, and is favorably im pressed. He contemplates visiting a number of other cities as well as the summer resorts before returning to his home in Ohio. Milwaukie Represented. Among those coming to Oregon City on business Monday was Mrs. Dossie Smith. Her home is at Milwaukie F. Fisher and Wife in Dakoto. F. F. Fisher, a well known poultry breeder of Parkplace, who recently left for a visit in North Dakota, writes to friends here that he is en - joying life. He has taken a number of interesting motoring trips, among these to scenic parts of Moorehead, Minn. For the present he Is at Far go, N. D. He was accompanied on the trip by his wife, and both expect to remain for about a year. Mulino Man Came to City. Mrs. C. S. Carlson, was in this city Monday. Mr. Carlson's home is at Mulino. Oak Grove Represented. Oak Grove was represented in Ore gon City on Monday, when O. F. Dill man, of that place came on business. Weiser Sells Farm. H. E. Weiser, who has been making his home in the Cams country for several years, was in Oregon City on Friday. Mr. Weiser has sold his livestock and has rented his farm. He and his family are to make their future home in Portland, where he is to go into the grocery business. Weiser has had experience in that line before taking up his residence In . Clackamas county. J. M. Dickinson In City. J. M. Dickinson, of Boring, was among those to transact busness n Oregon City on Monday. Transacts Business. George Winzler, of Canby, was in Oregon City Monday. While in this city he transacted buisness. Mrs. O. B. Sherrill In City. Mrs. O. J. Emery, of Barlow, was an Oregon City visitor Monday. She came here on business. The second contention is based upon the fact that the warrant indebtedness cited, is quoted from December 31, 1920 to September 1, 1922. It is point ed out that the warrant indebtedness is flexible, as the period of payment of taxes intervenes. Road work, dur ing the heavy construction period, Is done upon a credit basis, warrants be ing endorsed, and allowed to draw in terest. As soon as tax collections be gin to come in in sizeable amounts, the money is turned over to the treas urer, and the warrant's called, reduc ing the outstanding indebtedness- to a considerable degree Taxes being naid ud April 5 and October 5. the months just proceeding this period show a heavy debt outstanding, while immediately after this period, end per haps for almost another month, the warrant debt is low, until it beings to be enlarged through the endorse ment of warrants for which there are no funds, or no funds until the next tax collection period. Claims May Differ. The recallers cite that the warrant indebtedness September 1 of this year was $426,197.72, an Increase of $66 561.10 over the amount cited by the re callers for December 31, 1920. Cross supporters are believed ready to make the claim, based upon figures in the county records, that December is month when the indebtedness is com paratively low, because tax collections have paid much of the outstanding warrant claims, while September, just before the fall calls, is a month where the warrant indebtedness reaehes its height.

The buying was to fill eastern orders and was mainly new business, as the eastern brewers had allowed their stocks to run down. The brewers' demand, however, is ex pected to be even smaller this r than last and with the export outlet practically blocked except for old con tracts, the trade does not take a very cheerful view of the future. It is regarded as almost certain that a large proportion of the Pacific coast crop just harvested will have to be carried over, which makes next year's prospect worse than ever. The Oregon 1922 crop is now estimated at 50.000 to 55,000 bales, the California crop to 80,000 bales and Washington at 18,000 to 20.000 bales. New York produced about 3000 bales.
