LIE'S MESSAGE
BEFORE COUNCIL
Mayor Calls Attention to In
creasing Duties and
Responsibilities.
WARNS AGAINST GRAFTERS
foes Xot Outline Policy bnt Declares
' That He Has "Xo Enemies to
Punish or Friends to
. Reward."
Mayor Lane submitted his second bien
nial message to the reorganized City
Council at Its first meeting yesterday
afternoon. In his message the Mayor
calls the attention of the Councllmen to
the large and continually Increasing re
sponsibilities that are involved f In a mem
bership In that body. He reminded the
city's Solons that they are but the
representatives of the people whose every
interest it Is their duty to guard and
protect. The giving away of public prop
erty and other valuable rights to private
.citizens or corporations without Just and
careful consideration and reservation of
the rights of the public, he said. Is a
criminal use of authority.
, The Mayor did not undertake to out
line his policy which he has announced
will be a continuation of his first ad
ministration. In concluding he requested
the assistance of the members of the
Council in an - effort to insure for the
people the best possible administration of
municipal affairs.
It was expected the Council would elect
a president of that body at yesterday's
meeting but an adjournment was taken
hurriedly when the routine business had
.been disposed of. Councilman' Wills is
picked as the winner now although Coun
cilman Kushllght was believed to be the
stronger man ten days ago. The Council
will probably elect its president at the
next meeting.
Auditor Barbur attended the meeting
yesterday and personally attended to the
routine business. He had a good initla-
tion, as clerk of that body, the session
lasting three hours.
Mayor Lane's message follows:
Text of the Message.
To the honorable City Council: At the be
: sinning or the biennial term .of the admin
istration of city affairs I deem It ant im
proper to call attention In a general way to
' certain conditions which present themselves
for consideration.
' As I understand the premises we occupy.
, cur respective positions of public honor and
i trust as the agents and employes o the peo
i pie, to whom and to none other do w owe
i any duty of any nature whatsoever.
It l my full and firm belief that in our
position of trust our duties at all times call
upon us to exercise an active and aggres
! slve line of procedure In the conduct of af-
fairs which concern the weal of the people
of this city, and that a failure to exercise
' such active Interest or a perfunctory per
' formance or evasion of our duty in any mat
' ter, however slight, which concerns such ln
' terest or welfare of the people, will be
'. neither more nor less than evidence of bad
faith upon our. part, and one for which we
. snould be held responsible to the full extent
of our shortcoming.
The affairs of the olty are large and In
; creasing at a rapid rate and the duties anft
cares of our positions are onerous and call
! for much time and careful attention, yet we
'. entered Into our obligation with the full
knowledge that such conditions existed, and
there will be no reasonable or Just excuse
for the placing of private Interests before
tnose of the public and. If 'it so happen that
anyone's private Interests are of such a na
ture as to prevent or Interfere with his glv
lug full consideration to the affairs of the
city, the plain and only course for him to
. pursue will be to resign his public position
and allow some other person, who will glva
the necessary attention to such affairs, the
opportunity to do so.
' People Demand True Service.
The day In which the servants of the peo
. pie can play "ducks and drakes" with the
J people's Interests or pay off personal or po-
Htlcal debts or other obligations at the ex
' pense of the people has son by, let us hope
' never to return. The people are now awake
aod keenly alive to the conduct of their af
fairs, and they expect and demand of their
agents that true and Just service to which
they are entitled, yet withal the people are
patient and long-suffering and In their broad
charity they overlook missies of Judgment,
where the error is to be attributed to the
head and not -the heart, and no man need
. fear to rest Ms case with them. In full con
fidence, and therein Is our protection and
our shield when we pursue our way openly
and fslrly.
The people, In ' my opinion, do not look
kindly upon the public official who will or
does accept gratuities of any form . from pri
vate corporations, nor should they. It being
evidence of bad taste or blunted sensibility
upon his part, to say the least.
The parting with publlo property or rights
for long or short terms to private persons
or corporations without Just and careful con
sideration and reservation of the rights of
the public, in my opinion. Is a criminal use
of authority upon the part of public ofrf
' clals and ehould not bs countenanced for one
moment by the community at large.
Acts of special legislation sought for and
frequently passed In behalf of Individuals are
but the bestowal of favors which are 'unjust
to others and unworthy of your considera
tion: the law should be administered to all
alike and therein Ilea .the only safe ami Just
course to pursue.
I will sot enter Into any details at this
time regarding improved and better methods
i which are required concerning the carrying
on of the city's affairs' which affect the
economical administration of the same, but
from time to time will call attention to them
as such questions arlesa and will close by.
: assuring you of my hearty co-operation in
every effort which: you can make or will
suggest respecting the betterment of the af
r fairs of this city.
Assuring you also that I have no snemles
to punish or friends to reward in the ad
ministration of the city's affairs and that
my only desire Is to accomplish as much
good for the benefit of the people aa Is pos
sible, and to that end I at all times will be
deeply grateful to you for your wise aid.
counsel and advice.
BOND' ISSUES GO INTO EFFECT
-v
Legality Will, However, Be Tested
In the Courts. v
The various bond issues, charter amend
, ments and ordinances voted at the June
election, went Into effect yesterday in
accordance with the proclamation . of
Mayor Lane. Before any effort is made
to dispose of the bonds, aggregating
15.000,000, a suit will in all probability be
brought in the courts to determine the
legality of the proceeding by which the
bond issue has been ordered. It Is main
tained by Some citizens that the bonds
. would be invalid If issued for the alleged
, reason that the requirements of the city
i charter were not complied with in sub
- mining the proposed issues to a vote.
At the request of Mayor Lane, Judge
Eeneca Smith submitted a brief several
. days ago In which it was held that the
v bonds had not been ordered legally be
' cause of the failure of the authorities to
u- oilow strictly the provisions of the
charter. In order to have the question
decided in the courts, Mayor Lane pro
claimed the bonds effective. Their le
gality will now be settled in the courts.
DIRECT ORDINANCE AT TRUSTS
Councilman Belding Proposes Mea
sure Modeled on Sherman Law.
Members of the Council propose to sup
press trusts by enacting ordinances that
will prevent such organizations from op
erating in this city. Councilman Belding
is of the opinion that the Council has
the right under the city charter to ex
ercise in the city the same police power
that the state exercises" within the state.
On this theory he has asked City Attor
ney Kavanaugh to draft an ordinance
that will embody the provisions of the
Sherman anti-trust act and made applic
able to the municipality.
Councilman Wills is also- conferring
with City Attorney Kavanaugh and ex
pects to introduce at the next Council
meeting an ordinance to abolish the
board of plumbing examiners. The same
measure will provide for regulating the
plumbing business and the charges for
work, which are said to be exorbitant in
this city.
LUMBERMEN ARE PLEASED
Market Is Good and Prices for All
Goods High.
Desplta the closing now and then of an
Oregon sawmill depending solely on the
California market, the lumber trade con
tinues good and lumber manufacturers
seem pleased with the outlook. Prices
range from S12 to 116 for rough lumber at
'' - '-
h?" v ::'' !T"- - TIMII.KS llUMIU,..liSa3)W
the mills, the price varying largely accord
ing to the quality of the stock offered. The
better grades ot lumber run in price from
$29 to $30. Prices seem to be firm, with
the demand not quite so strong as when
the California markets were clamoring
for all the Oregon sawmills could cut.
Some prophesied disaster to the trade on
this account, but the Eastern markets
seem to be as good as ever for all the
local mills can cut.
"While In the Bast lately. I visited the
Colorado and Utah territory," said E. P.
Sheldon, secretary of the Oregon & Wash
ington Lumber Manufacturers' Associa
tion, "and I found that the demand for
Oregon flr is very good. Most of our
output goes to this territory at present.
Other parts of the East. I understand,
offer a good market, with the demand
good."
Logs are quoted at $8, $9 and $10 for red
and yellow fir, according to quality. The
30-day shutdown Just resolved upon by
the logging camps will curtail the output
and is expected to stiffen the market
somewhat so that it is not expected the
present prices will fall off to any exftent.
Loggers are not worrying any over the
outlook, except the market to become
firmer as Winter approaches. On the
whole, the lumber outlook is promising al
though the demand has fallen off very
largely since San Francisco went out of
the market.
PETITION FOR NEW LINE
Portland Heights Residents AVant
Cars on Twentieth Street.
Petitions addressed to the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company are
being signed by property owners to have
a line built from Twentieth street south
ward skirting Portland Heights. The rail
road company has estimated that the
cost of a road from Twentieth street to
Chelmsford, at Castle Point, would be
$20,000,. or at least that amount would
have to be raised by property owners in
order to secure the line. About one-half
the necessary amount has been sub
scribed, and while some owners have de
clined to subscribe so far, it is said that
the full amount will be signed up hi the
near future
Another Improvement of the Heights is
contemplated, depending upon the action
of the Council. Eleventh, Twelfth and
Thirteenth streets are platted to extend
up the hill on a grade which is consid
ered by residents on the Heights as im
practicable. These residents are to pe
tition the Council to vacate those streets
on the hillsides and permit the construc
tion of roadways according to the con
tour of the land. It is said that 90 per
cent of the owners of the property-, af
fected favor the vacation of the
streets, and no opposition to the action
has developed.

Police Chief Says Book Agent
V Embezzled $4000.
SAID TO BE A FUGITIVE
Reward of $100 Offered for His
Arrest and Detention Fast
Living Said to Have
. . Caused Downfall.
That Fred A. Briggs, a book agent
well-known in Portland, is short in
his accounts $4r)00 is the startling dec
laration made by Chief of Police Grits
macher, in a circular letter posted at
police headquarters yesterday morning.
A reward of $100 is offered for Briggs"
arrest and detention until an officer
from Portland takes him into custody.
Briggs is well-known throughout
the Pacific Northwest. He served as
Portland agent for the "White Publish
ing Company, of Denver, for a long
time, and it is by that firm that he is
accused of embezzlement.
A complaint was filed against Brlgga
last week, charging him with the em-
:' ' '. -SSsWif'.Sii
i
. ';
bezzlemertt of $1300 of the publishing
company's funds, but not until Chief
Grltzmacher filed . his circular letter
yesterday morning did it become
known that further and larger thefts
were charged against him.
The complaint against Briggs was
filed by Thomas G. Greene, acting as
local attorney for the publishing house.
Briggs is accused in one count of em
bezzling at least two payments of $500
each from J. Wesley Ladd, on a $2000
purchase of books from that firm, and
that bo did the same thing in other
cases, is now charged. '
Briggs had offices in the Concord
building and lived at the Hotel Port
land with his wife. - He dressed styl
ishly, epent money lavishly on his
friends and was exceptionally fond of
automobile drives and dinner parties,
according to the police. His tastes
were far too expensive for his income,
it is said at headquarters, and finally
brought about his downfall and dis
grace. His- present whereabouts is un
known to the police. Mrs. Briggs is
supposed to be with him.
Chief Gritwnacher's circular de
scribes Briggs as follows:
"Forty years of age; five feet eight
Inches tall; weight 230 pounds; smooth
shaven; dark hair, which Is thin on
top; dark complexion and well pre
served; is a stylish dresser and of
pleasing address. He is a book agent
by occupation, and may be found
around publishers of high-priced books
or persons who purchase such. Since
issuance of warrant, charging him with
embezzlement of $1300, we have dis
covered that he got away with $4000.
A reward of $1J0 will be paid for the
arrest and detention of Briggs, until
the arrival of an- officer from this de
partment." GO TO BAPTIST- MEETING

BAY CITY -
(ON TILLAMOOK BAY)
Is the center of a rich tributary country that will develop some
of the most comfortable fortunes within the next few years.
Dairying is the chief Industry at the present time. One acre
supports one cow, and less than 12 per cent of the land
available for dairying; has been used. Ten million gallons of
milk were produced last year. There are 40 creameries in the
county. One average estimate states that of a total of 681
cows, the average income per cow was $66.78. Fruits ana
vegetables are raised with case and quickly and profitably
marketed. With the completion of the Xytle road next year, the
market for the oountry surrounding Bay City will be un
- s limited. Portland will be less than two and a half hours away.
But not half has been told until one learns that there are
30,000,000,000 Feet of Timber
standing on the hills back of- Bay City. Here is sufficient em
ployment for thousands of men for a hundred years. With a
down-hill haul from any part of the county to Bay City, the
head of deep-water navigation, this city is destined, beyond
all peradventure of a doubt, to become one of the leading lum
ber shipping ports of all the world. Nothing can prevent it.
Bay City stands on the only possible highway north and south
along the coast of Oregron; the only place for a road or rail
road. Nearly a score of rivers enter Into Tillamook Bay, and
all of these will contribute to the growth and wealth of Bay
City. Verily, the place to locate now is Bay City. A free site
will be given to the first person who locates a sawmill in Bay
City. Attractive Inducements are offered to others who will
build or engage in commercial business. Free literature about
all the country about Tillamook Bay will be mailed by the

last night was tha heaviest and It amount
ed to just one Inch. , Tha rainfall since
has amounted to 0.06, which makes the
remarkably heavy amount of 1-04 inches
during the last 24 hours. No high wlndi
attended the thunderstorms In this district
except at Spokane, where thirty miles from
the southwest occurred during the after
