Not Best Way.

of Refunding Tends to Im

Following a detailed Investigation
of the bonded lnoebtedness problem In
Portland. City Auditor Barbur yester
day prepared a report to submit to the
City Commission asking that a meas
ure be presented to the people at a spe
cial election In November providing for
the issuance of serial bonds in the
future in place of tne present form of
bonds which expire all at the same
" Auditor Barbur says the serial bond
Is a proper solution of the problem
now confronting the city regarding
the redemption of bonds. "Great ad
vance has been made In the last few
years In the treatment of municipal
finance." "aid Auditor Barbur in his
report. "Municipal indebtedness to
United States has doubled in the last
te years and haa increased far more
rapidly than the population of the
country at large. Several large cities,
ot which New York is a coP
example, have found themselves in the
prXament of their bond- 'aUlnsvdu.
end no funds on hand to redeem them.
Under such conditions, a city has no
choice but to issue refunding bonds,
which -imply mean, that the burden
of the old debt is thrust upon a future
generation which will have difficulty
in paying Its own debts without being
maSe responsible for the debts of past
generatons.
Refunding; Impairs Credit.
"The refunding of a debt Impairs a
city-s credit. We have an example of
this in our neighboring city of Seattle
which recently attempted to refund on
a debt of 20 years' standing, found It
self unable to sell its bonds, except at
treat loss, and the officials were
forced to call upon the local bank, to

Issued on account of public Improve
ment.. A sound policy of modern
finance require, that the term or life
of these bond, be made equal to the
life or duration of the structure or im
provement which It made possible. A
bridge which has. for example, a life
of 25 to 80 years .hould be constructed
with fund, secured by the Issue of a
25 or 0-year bond.
Morrison Bridge Example.
"The original Morrison-street bridge
was completed In 1887 and purchased
by the city in 1895 by fund, secured
tnrough a bond Issue maturing In 1826.
In 1S04 the bridge wai worn out and

Kate Badler. a street orator, the next

the County Jail, where she had been
confined for Interrupting the court
proceeding yesterday. The Judge had
then fined her 8100. Mrs. Sadler was in
fighting humor today and got Into dis

Foster, who sought to examine her.
She declared that she had not assailed
the Judge In her City Hall Park speech,
k h rontrarv. had praised him
as an object lesson of the need of re
call of Judges. To her amazement the
Judge discharged her.
The Judge suggested that she might
wish to explain her outbreak In court
yesterday, but she did not respond.
The Judge said he would reduce her
8100 fine to .10. "Til 'not pay it," she
shouted.
"Don't get sassy," said the Judge,
shaking his head at her. "The fine is
remitted anyhow," said the Judge.

Judge said:
"You saw how easy It was for me to

HEEDLESS NOISE HAY 60
SEATTIiE NAMES IOXQ LIST OF
SLEEP DISTURBERS.
Shouting by Newsboys on Sunday
and Crowing of Roosters Are
Disapproved.
SEATTLE, Wash., Oct 8. (Special.)
Those who have insisted that the
blithe pastime of rattling a lawnmower
under the neighbors window, or the
shouting of newsies on a quiet Sunday
morning are unnecessary noises icon
will have their opinion, branued with
the stamp of official approval.
The noise committee appointed by the
City Council to find out how much of
the rattle and bang of Seattle wa. un
necessary will report In a few day.
that it considers the following noise,
more or less unnecessary:
Factory whistles, mechanical mu
sucal Instruments, such a. the
contraptions that play In front
of movlng-plcture theaters: un
muffled automobiles and motor
cycles, lawnmower. run too early in
the morning hours, firecrackers and
other noises on the Fourth of July, the
tooting of horns, shouting, etc., on New
Year's Eve; the crying of newsboys on
Sunday morning. Klaxton horns on au
tomobiles, railroad and steam whistles,
wagons loaded with metal, any kind of
wagons, not rubber-tired, that rattle
along the streets In the early pre-dawn
hours; cable and electric cars, particu
larly with flat wheels, and noisy pav-
lDIn addition to this formal list which
the committee will send to the Council
as forming at least a part of its opin
ion on unnecessary noises, protests have
been made against the crowing of
roosters, the barking of dogs and the
chugging of motorboats; but yether
the noises I can be regulated afff
torlly is questionable, in the opinion
of the committee.
The committee ha. not yet finished
Its labors completely, and may add a
certain number of noises between now
and the time when Its report goes to
the Council. Its first action probably
will be a recommendation to the Coun
cil that steps be taken to enforce leg
,.i or, -nhsieauent recommenda
tions w'ill be for additional legislation
where required.

and escorted to the Raymond Hotel
corner, where Wallace R. Btruble, sec
retary of the Commercial Club, on be
half of the citizens of Lewlston, wel
comed them, tendering the freedom of
the city. Ex-Governor MoConnell,
Judge Forney and Northern Pacific
Agent Morris, of Moscow, responded.
The thrilling feat of "Ago, leaping
the gap," came near resulting fatally
for the performer, when, on reaching
the foot of the Incline, the high wind
momentarily broke the speed of his
bicycle and he failed to leap the gap,
only the front wheel of his machine
making the platform. In full view of
thousands of horrified spectators he
was thrown from his wheel, clear of
the platform, and lay in a limp heap
where he fell. The spectators sup
posed he had been Instantly killed, but
Dr. Morris, who was present, found,
after an examination, that no bones
had been broken, but that he only had
a severe concussion, which rendered
him unconscious. The doctor said to
night he did not think Ago was in
jured Internally, and that he would
recover.
The races were good and elicited ap
