WM t!".t water bonds sold unjef
t:-.e law pissed by tLe voters at. the
last election are to be paid from the
water fund, the bonds are backed by
the credit of the entire city and are
subject to being redeemed by money
of tae general fund of the city In case
the water fund, for any unforseen rea
son. Is not able to meat this obliga
tion. This Is In substance the opinion
given by City Attorney Urant yester
d.iy In a reply to a question asked of
htm by City Auditor liarbur.
This Is tha rlrst time any question
has been raised concerning the value
t.f Portlar.d'e water bonds, aa before
the last election the city was made re
sponsible for the redemption of the
bonds tn a way that would leave no
a, icstlon. The new law pror'dea that
tra water fund shall be ued for re
deeming tie bonds and for paying
Interest c.n them, but aa the law does
not say that the money cannot be paid
from any other fund. Ur. Urant holds
tli at bond buyers are safe In taking
them, no matter what might become
of tha special water fund.
Some of the bidders on the Issue of
t'00.000 of water bonds that were re
cently awarded for sale, made their
offers aubject to the clty'a responsi
bility. It waa to set at rest thla ques
tion that City Auditor Barbur asked
Mr. Grant for a written opinion, and
this will be sent to the purchasers of
the bonds, who hay not yet filed their
final acceptance.

APPEAL DELAYS PAYMENT
.ldrr-Strrcl AsemenU Must Walt
for Court Decision.
Propertr owners recently notified by
the city that their assessments for the
cost of extending Alder street west to
Washington street were payable, win
find If they offer the money to the city
that It will not be accepted. Thla Is due
to the fact that City Auditor Harbur
was not notified that the property-own
ers had appealed their ease to the
courts, which stayed the proceedings.
Cntll the court decides the case the
city cannot accept the money for the as
sessment legally.
Some of the property owners, who naa
received notification that their payments
were due, were puxxled to understand
why they should be required to pay for
the extension while the case si as still
unsettled, and wr.en they sought Infor
mation. Mr. Barbur had to make an
Investigation that brought the misunder
standing to light.

OREGON TO HAVE
Lovett Announces Extension of
Harriman System on
Large Scale.
ONE LINE EAST TO WEST
Deacliutes Line to Continue South to
Odcll and Connect With Lines
From Ontario to Natron and
lYoin Ilcdmond to Barns.
NIT. TV TORK. Feb. t. (Special.) In
his statement of the action taken by
the I'nlon and Southern Pacific exeou-
ttve committees on Tuesday, President
Lovett placed the emphasis on the an
nouncement of double-tracking to cost
ITS. 000. 000. There waa another Item
In the statement, however, which will
probably require greater outlay and
add decidedly more to the earning
power of the Harriman lines. This
Item waa approval of long-contemplated
plans for extensions and new
lines, thla expenditure to extend over
a period of six years.
The extensions Include the bisection
of Washington by the completion of
the North Coast from Spokane to Se
attle and from Spokane to Lewlnton;
the construction of numerous branches
of this line for the development of the
state: an east and west line across
Oregon from Ontario on the eastern
border, through the Harney Valley, to
connect with the Southern Pacific's new
main line from Klamath Falls to Nat
ron, and the continuation of the South
ern Pacific to Crescent City, Col., from
Grants I'ass.
The Northwestern Pacific, which has
been surveyed along the north Cali
fornia coast from Sherwood. Cal., will
be extended to Crescent City to con
nect with the new line from Grants
Pass.
An extension Of the Deschutes line
will be built from Kedmond to Odell
on the Natron-Klamath cutoff and a
connection with the proposed east and
west road from Redmond to Burns via
Prlneville la contemplated.
The great triangle bounded by the
Central Pacific, the Southern Coast
tinea north to Portland and the Naviga
tion Company and Short Line contains
60.000.000 acres capable, with moderate
Irrigation, of producing a vast amount
of grain and fruit. It will yield a bound
less supply of timber, is already pro
ducing considerable ore and promises oft.
"There Is nothing In the programme
that concerns our office excepting the
work eontemplnted for Oregon." said L
J. Buckler, acting general manager. Inst
nlsht. "This work Includes the double
tracking of the Columbia River ronj,
the Deschutes extension, the Vale
Crania Pass line and the completion of
the Natron-Klamath cut-off.
"The line known aa the Northwestern
Pacific, which starts at San Francisco
Bay, will be financed and built from the
Han Francisco office and the plana will
be prepared there. Information con
cerning It will be first received In that
office.
"The construction In Washington will
be carried on from the Spokane office.
Official advice will be received there.
"So far as we know the company will
be kept busy the next two years double
tracking Its line from Omaha to the
Coast. The new lines In Eastern and
Central Oregon are contemplated for
early construction, but we don't know
definitely when they will be built. Come
of the other roads are largely problem
atical and many years In the future.
If they ever are considered feasible."

POCATELLO. Idaho, Feb. i. (Spe

the Portneuf River last night wrecked
the substation and transformer house
of the Idaho Consolidated Power Com
pany In this city and plunged Poca
tello In darkness.
The disaster was so complete that
there will be no light from that source
for at least a week. An earth retain
insr wall cava way. permitting an Im
mense volume of water, backed up by
the electric company's dam, to breaK
through and destroy the solid masonry
walls and foundation of the substation.
Half an hour after the break occurred
the wreck was complete and the elec
tric l'ghting system, which is owned
principally by ex-Governor Brady, waa
put out of commission.
The main transmission line from the
company's power plant at American
Falls, 15 miles away, was hastily
switched over to tho transmission line
from Pocatello to Ross Fork and
Blackfoot, so that the town tonight has
the same old service. A score of In

to operate motion picture shows and
the gasoline engine of a concrete mix
ing machine was backed up to the rear
door of the Evening Tribune and used
to operate linotype machines and
presses.
Laundries, bottling works, planing
mills, brick plants, packing houses,
feed mills, printing offices, all these
completely suspended business. By 9

was sold out.
Sixty feet of double track at Inkum

BOISE. Idaho. Feb. 2. (Special.)
County division bills met with opposite
fatea at the hands of the Legislature
which held Its busiest session today. A
bill for the creation of Bonneville
County, the north half of Bingham, waa
sent to Governor Hawley for his signa
ture. A bill creating Clearwater Coun
ty out of the west half of Nez Perce,
was passed by the House and sent to
the Senate, but the latter body unmerci
fully killed off Randall County to be
formed out of Idaho by adoption of the
committee's unfavorable report.
Governor Hawley sent a special mes
sage to the Senate announcing he had
signed the IdahoMJregon bridge bill call
ing for the appropriation of 5,000 for
the erection of a bridge across the
Snake River at Payette, and at the same
time openly warned the Legislature all
other state and road appropriations
must be cut down to the lowest figure
to secure his approval.
The Democrats placed In the bands of
the Joint investigating committee
charges that an easement deed for 574
acres was Issued to the Washington
Water Power Company of Spokane by
ex-Governor Gooding, contrary to the
law. and thereby has worked a great
hardship to Kootenai County residents.
