CHARTER PROHIBITS BONDS Extension Must Cease Until People Amend Charter by Vote, Accord- : Ing to Opinion of City Attor ney and Kichard Montague. An opinion was rendered by City At torney La. Roche yesterday to tha ef fect that the city cannot issue public utility certificates for the development of the city water system. At the same time it was learned that there is a provision in the new charter making- it Impossible for the city to sell any more water bonds. Thus a tangle has been brought about in the affairs of the city water department which may necessi tate the laying off of 600 laborers and other employes of the department and stop the extension of water mains un til the charter can be amended by the jjrupie at an election. The trouble came to an issue yester "") w-nen city Commissioner Daly ouobui legal aaviee on how to proceed to raise money for water main exten sions which are sought in many parts of the city. He had contemplated doing away with the sale of the usual long time 4 per cent water bonds, with which the city has financed water extension. In the past, and substituting: in their piace me. public utility certificates, which he understood were permitted under the new commission charter. La Roche's Opinion Backed. While City Attorney La Roche gave no written opinion on the question, he informed Commissioner Daly that in his opinion the utility certificates could not be issued to replace the water bonds. The opinion was also given by other attorneys. including Richard W. Montague, a member of the commis sion which drafted the new commission charter, under which Portland is oper ating. ' There is fear that the situation will become serious unless a settlement can be made in some manner which will permit the city to sell either the water bonds or the utility certificates. Com missioner Daly had decided to issue the certificates in small denomination and to sell them to the residents of Port land at par. The certificates would be secured by the city water system and the interest would be paid from reve nue from the system. There is money on hand to carry the Water Department up to the end of this month. With that money expended and no means of raising more there can be no more water main extensions. Daly Quotes IS'ew Charter. The provision in the commission char ter which makes impossible the sale of the usual class of water bonds is quoted by Commissioner Daly as fol lows: Section ISO. Xo bonds other than bonds ror public Improvements payable out of as sessment r upon the property benefited and ewer bonds If otherwise authorized, shall be Issued unless approved by vote of the people at a general or special election at which the question shall be submitted In the same manner as other measures are submitted un der the Initiative or referendum. This pro vision shall not apply to bonds heretofore authorized. All bonds of the City of Port land shall be sold to the hlshest responsible Didder. Water- bonds were sold whenever needed in any amount desired under the old charter provisions. Under the new charter provision is made for the issuance of bonds other than those authorized by the people and improve ment bonds payable out of assessments upon property benefited. These pro visions exempt water bonds, as they are neither authorized by the people at present nor are the bonds paid by as sessment of property benefited The provision of the charter under which Commissioner Daly expected to Bell utility certificates in place of bonds, but which is said now not to be operative for this purpose, is as fol lows: ' The Council Is hereby granted power to Issue and sell Interest bearing public utility certificates for the construction or acquisi tion by purchase, condemnation or otherwise of any public utility to be operated by the city. The certificates shall be secured by "..mmsa or mc""tKages upon such public utility plant and the revenues thereof, but the same shall not be a general liability of the city and shall be paid solely from the revenues derived from the plant or from the ale thereof. Such power shall be exercised only by ordinances which shall be subject to referendum In like manner and upon like terms and conditions as ordinances grant ing franchises. City Attorney La Roche and Mr. Mon tague say that under their Interpreta tion of this provision .of the charter utility certificates can be Issued only for the primary construction or the acquisition of a public utility. BABY COYOTES AWAITED New Cage Is Erected at Washington Park to House Animals. Unless a well-laid scheme fails to work, there will be added to the animal Cam 11 y in the zoo at Washington Park a family of young coyotes. Announce ment was made yesterday -by Park Su perintendent MIsche that he has com pleted the erection of a dark cage, re sembling a cave, in the coyote division of the noo and will house a mother coy ote there until a family of puppies "is born and weaned. The system is a new venture.

OXFORD SYSTEM PRAISED American College Men Show Two Defects, Saj-3 Professor. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Jnly 16. (Special.) "In. comparison with the average Oxford student the American youth shows two defects the inability to stick to a subject long enough to accomplish real results, and the inability to grasp a subject as a whole," declared Harold C. Merriman. of Beloit College, who is a. member of tne faculty of the University of Oregon Summer School. Professor Merriman was a Rhodes scholar, appointed from Wyoming.

In two centuries more there will be virtually no tuberculosis in the world. This is the message of optimism brought by Dr. Liv ingstone Farrand, of New York, president of the National Society for the Prevention of Tuberculo sis, who reached Portland yester day. He will remain in this city two days. Dr. Farrand is on his way home from the National Confer ence of Charities and Corrections in Seattle, and will visit the prin cipal California cities before starting East. He was enter tained at luncheon yesterday by State Health Officer White. ' Dr. Farrand says the 150 so cieties composing - the National Association are doing a wonder ful work.

LEASE OF WHARF IS PLAN Governor West Sends Representatives to Meetlnjj of Commission in Portland Money on Hand to Purchase Property. Common-user privileges on .the Jefferson-street dock, now occupied by the Southern Pacific, will be asked by the Public Docks Commission when the Governor enters into an agreement with the, railroad for acquisition of the dock property. This was decided yesterday when the Commission held a special meeting to consider this question. The meeting was held at the suggestion of Govern or West. The Governor was unable to be present, but was represented by Claude C. McCulloch, State Senator from Baker County, and Miss Fern, his private secretary. The Commissioners were virtually of one mind in seeking to have the Gov ernor, after he obtains title to the levee property, lease it to the South ern Pacific under common-user terms. A committee consisting of Commis sioners Ben Selling, Dan Kellaher and F. W. Mulkey, was named to convey to the Governor an expression of the Commission's views. The last Legislature appropriated 50,090. which the Governor is direct ed to expend in obtaining possession of the dock, which is now owned by the city. The ?50.000, it Is estimated, will cover th cost of the improvements the railroad has placed upon the prop erty. It is expected, when the- state ac quires the levee, its management and operation will be given in charge of mi? uuia commission. While the common-user privilege would seem of little value now, it is predicted that this may develop into considerable worth in the future. With the completion of the improvements on the Oregon City locks and their acqui sition by the Federal Government this dock will be available and desirable for boats engaged in traffic on the Upper Willamette. It is accessible also to the Oregon Electric and United Railways and probably will be utilized by them. - STEAMER ROCKELLE IX PORT Exceptionally Rough Trip Made by Captain Kelson's Craft. ASTORIA.

Harvesting started in this vi cinity Monday and by the end of this week it is expected to be general throughout Wasco County.
