The report of the State Bureau of In spection upon the city of North Yakima, isued today, virtually is a brief for the commission form of government, which North Yakima adopted late in 1911. The report states that one of the first results attained by the adoption of the new form of government was plac ing the city on a cash basis for the first nine in 11 years. An Intelligent econ omy, lacking before. Is now being prac ticed, the bureau finds. In the first half of the year 1913, the report states, the luiiiiiiiEniua uas saved xi'ouo from Its own estimate, although extraordinary expenses, not anticipated in the budget vi jnuuu cave been necessary. In contrast with the condition of the city s finances at present the bureau points to its experience under the old Mayor-and-Counril form of government. As an instance, it is stated that practi cally every claim under the old form of government was allowed illegally, because the requirement of the Wash ington law for a supporting affidavit was not met. The report of the bureau shows that at the start of the period examined. April 1. 1911, the city had I16.1S7.-H cash on hand; that this amount June 30. 1913, was $09,410.23. The bureau finds the assets of the city total J49. 515.31, while local improvement assets amount to ll.lC2.81i, including seven miles of paved street. 26 miles of sewer and 36 miles of concrete sidewalk.

Adv, In every department the Portland Toung Men's Christian Association ranks high among the associations of North America, according to a report compiled by Ueneral Secretary Stone. Data for this report were taken from the T. M. C. A. Year Book, just pub lished. It was presented yesterday aft ernoon at the regular . monthly and quarterly meeting of the directors and was enthusiastically received as in dicating the thorough and extensive work that the Portland association is accomplishing. The report received by the directors shows the 20 - leading associations in each line of activity. In every depart ment Portland ranks among the 20, and in most divisions it is close to the top. In two particulars the number using the physical department privi leges and the number of men and boys in Bible study Portland heads the list. The Portland Y. M. C. A. has 4G29 men and boys using the gymnasium and the past year passed on the physi cal standing of more applicants than did any other association. In its Bible class enrollment Portland had 1356 men and 638 boys, a total of 1994. This is considered a. remarkable showing, the total being more than 1000 larger than that of the principal Y. M. C. A. in New York City. Membership Ratios; la High. In membership the Portland asso ciation now ranks third. For some ime Portland held first place, but the West Side association of New York has taken the lead witn 6826 members. nd Los Angeles has Jumped Into sec ond place by a phenomenal gain, mak ing its enrollment 5Slo. Portland has n enrollment of 6132, and the Detroit association is fourth with 4938 members. Portland' also is particularly pro gressive in boys' work, having an en rollment of 992 in the junior depart ment. This Is an Increase of nearly 200 over last year. The Y. M. C A.

Portland is eighth in the number of different students en rolled in educational work. The lead ing associations in order of their regis tration are: New York (West Side), 3721; Philadelphia (Central). 217b, .303- ton. 2106; Chicago (Central). 1S24; Los Angeles, 1807; New York (Twenty-third treet), 1702; Cleveland. 1580; Portland, 506. Larger Auditorium Needed. Portland poorest showing is In the attendance at religious meetings. The Portland total for the year. 42,220, places it In 20th place. It is thought that this is because tho local assocla- j tion has no large auditorium. Limited accommodations hold down the size of the audiences, and this Is one prob lem that the Portland secretaries are facing. While growing numerically the work of the Portland association also is con stantly becoming more thorough. Small classes are the rule In x 1 1 departments. The tendency Is toward Intensive work and away from the big group in which it is much more difficult to get the desired results. Thi success of this plan is attested in the educational de partment which won for Portland for three years consecutively three of the four National prizes offered to Y. M. C. A. schools. The directors "at yesterday's meeting voted to spend more time In a personal Inspection of the work. On suggestion of Mr. Stone they decided that each director will pass at least one evening a month at the association so that they may keep in close touch with the ac tivities over which they have supervision. with horse races, the largest exhibits of fruit and livestock ever shown, anc some bucking contests which the fair managers declare will rival those at the Pendleton Round-Up. Wild cayuses from Klamath County have been im ported, and Nero, the bucking bull, which created such a sensation at the Klamath Rodeo, will also perform. A S10 prize will be given anyone who can keep on Nero tor 10 seconds or more, and local cow punchers are pre paring to take In some easy money. A specialty la made this year of the pear exhibit, which induced the man agers to change the name of the asso elation to the Jackson County Fair and Pear Show. It Is hoped to make this an Increasingly Important feature in the future. Several new exhibit buildings have been constructed this year, the grand stand enlarged and a restroom provided for women and babies. Owing to the killing of Don Helms at the auto races July 4. the auto races of the original programme have been abandoned. Wednesday will be Ashland day, Thursday, Grants Pass day; Friday, Medford day, and Saturday, free-for-all day.

Having been informed that Deputy Sealers of Weights and Measures in Washington state have been Imperson ated by persons asking exorbitant prices for testing scales and measures, F. G. Buchtel, Deputy State Sealer of Weights and Measures, today issued a warning to merchants to allow no one to do the work unless he can prove that he Is authorized to do so by the department. It is believed that a band of men, thought to be operating In Washing ton, will come to Oregon, and the Dep uty Sealer of Weights and Measures wants all dealers using weights and measures to be on their guard. Under the Oregon law only a State Deputy can test a weight or measure, and he cannot charge fees. mence on September 22.

Ex-Governor or Washington Reasons That With Shorter Route Grain Prices Should Be Higher. SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 9. (Special.) Miles C. Moore, of Walla Walla, ex- Governor of Washington, believes that the announcement of the Opening of the Panama Canal to general shipping early in December will have an effect on Northwest grain prices. "It Is the general feeling in our sec tion among producers and shippers,' said ex-Governor Moore today, "that the early opening of the canal will have an appreciable effect on the grain market by stimulating the price of wheat. I read the announcement this morning that the waterway will open to general shipping early in December, That is only 90 days away. 'Our people base their belief in bet ter prices on the difference in time. In surance and Interest caused by cut ting in two the distance between the North Pacific Coast ports and Liver pool. Liverpool quotations, as you know, are the basis for wheatiprices everywhere else in the world. 'If the Portland charters call for 35 shillings a long ton to Liverpool via the Horn, the cost via the canal should be about 1714 shillings, as the differ ence in insurance and interest by cut ting down the time should absorb the canal tolls. This means a saving of over 12 cents a bushel, say 10 cents to be safe. In other words, this is from 10 to 12 cents on each bushel to be left In the growers' hands."
