time, it is admitted, the treasury will
be depleted. This will be because there
will be insufficient money left as a
oaidnce at the end of the present fiscal
year (December 1 to carry the city's
payroll and other expenses over until
the first of the 1916 tax money conies
in on March 1.
Payroll Kund Are Short.
'fcro;,,"';6' C'e'k f the Council.
ZJZ , h A. question before that body
with the information that the citv
treasury will be short sufficient fund's
to meet the payrolls. He suggested
that, commencing this month, the Coun
', ta" the employes only half of their
alarieH. thereby holding back sufficient
to carry over the period of stringency.
Either that." said Mr. Grutze, "or
repeal the ordinance which prohibits
employes from assigning their salaries.
Ion cannot issue any evidence of in
debtedness and you can give a man
nothing to show that he has anything
coming. However. loans probably
could be arranged by the employes."
"-it's a serious situation isn't if"
BBid Mr. Baker.
"I- have figured," said Mr. Dieck.
'that that we can go ahead and meet
our payroll and other expenditures un
til February 16. Then, we can let the
February payroll slide over until March
10 or 10. when there will be plenty of
money in from taxes. That plan in
volves putting off all possible pur
chases "There are a good many things in
the way of purchases that can be held
off for 30 or 60 days, are there not?"
asked Mayor .Albee.
Discount Sacrifice Suggested.
"Yes," said Mr. Dieck. For that mat
ter we can sacrifice the 1! per cent dis
count allowed for payment of bills. It
teems to me to be better to lose that
i" vtni. iiiaii ivx.k tuo employes
to pay big rates to loan sharks to get
their money."
"That seems to me to be the best
way." said Mr. Daly. "I don't like this
loan shark proposition.1'
"I believe it would be better to let
the payroll slide by March than to cut
It off now or during the holiday seal-on,
when there is a maximum need
for money." said Mr. Dieck.
This plan seemed to bo the most
favorable so it was decided" upon defi
nitely. The trouble has come up largely
by reason of the majority of the Coun
cil trimming the tax levy for 1915 down
"below where it should, have been. As
a. result of this reduction, the city will
carry over at the end of this year
rrobably $100,000 as compared with
3S10.000 at the end of last year.

rlORE LENIENCY SHOWN
DRUGGIST ORDIXANCE DECLARED
FAVORAB1B AS REVISED.
Retailers to Be Permitted to Carry
Dozen Pint Bottles of Gasoline,
bot Bottling Right Denied. .
Druggists of the city expect more
liberal treatment in the ordinance now
under consideration by the City Coun
cil than was thought likely a' few days
ago in regard to the limitation of the
quantity of gasoline that may be car
ried in stock and the manner and place
of its bottling. Following a special
meeting yesterday of the grievance
committee of the Portland Retail
Druggists' Association. it was ar
ranged that the city ordinance will
be submitted to this committee for its
approval, and Fire Marshal Stevens,
after a conference with the druggists,
outlined what will probably be re
quired by the ordinance.
It was understood at the meeting
of the committee yesterday that the
ordinance will allow one dozen pint
bottles of gasoline to be carried in
stock by the druggists. The gasoline
must, however, be bottled elsewhere
than on the premises. This, it was
decided by the committee, would be
satisfactory to the druggists gener
ally. A full committee was present at yes
terday's meeting, as follows: A. "W.
Allen, chairman; Lloyd Crocker, Ralph
Crysler, John M. A. Laue, Frank Pozzi,
F. A. Nichols. What Wallace. E. A.

holders to satisfy the $250,000 in bonds,
a committee, consisting of Attorney
Steel, of Portland; Walter M. Pierce.
La Grande, and Attorney Stevens, of

ACCIDENT FATAL TO BABE
Child, Supposed to Have Crawled
.Under Standing Truin, Dies.
CENTRALIA. Wash., Nov. 2. (Spe
cial.) A series of accidents in this
vicinity, covering the past two days,
was ended last night when the 2-year-old
son of Edward Mauermann, a resi
dent of Galvin. died in a Centralia hos
pital as the result of injures sustained
yesterday when he was run over by a
logging train near his home. It Is
presumed that the child crawled
through a fence and under the train
while the train was standing still.
William Howell is confined in a local
hospital with a crushed skull sustained
yesterday when he was kicked by a
horse. His recovery- is doubtful.
Mrs. J. !. Dodson, ,of Galvin, was
badly cut about the face when an auto
In which she was riding crashed into
a pole.
SEWER CASE TANGLE BAD
Filing of New Court Action at Che
lialts Is Latest Phase.
CHEHALIS. Wash., Nov. 2. (Special.)
The Murphy sewer assessment case,
which has caused all kinds of grief
for the Chehalis city officials and the
courts for the past three years, is in
a worse tangle than at any time in
its history.
At yesterday's meeting of the City
Commissioners, announcement was made
that Murphy will again go into court
with an action against the litigants
who already 'have taken him to the
Superior Court four times, in an effort
to compel them to pay him the full
amount which he declares is due him
under his contract. The non-constesting
property owners will probably be asked
to pay on a basis which will be un
satisfactory to many of them.
BRIDGE WORK IS BEHIND
Contractor on Lebanon Span Subject
to $25 Daily Penalty.
LEBANON, "Or., Nov. 2. (Special.)
The liability of a penalty of $25 a day
does not seem to be adding much ac
tivity to the Pacific Iron Works, of
Portland, which has a contract for' the
erection of a steel bridge over the
South Santiam River at this city.
The contract provided a penalty of
25 a clay for each day that the bridge
was uncompleted after October 25. The
bridge is yet a long way short of com
pletion, in fact, little beyond the erec
tion of the concrete piers is now completed.

FLURRY IN BARLEY
Bids Raised Sharply at Men

Reduction or Stocks In Northwest
Occasions Speculative Buying at
Highest Prices or Season.
Wheat Is 1'irm.
'-The barley market snddanlv ilv.!an.i
the- strongest feature of the -grim tradeJ
ems at the Merchants- Bxchange
were raised to the hichest points of the
season, but the advance did not tempt hold
era to let go.
The trade- has come to a realization that
barley supplies remaining In the Northwest
are not heavy, and this baa prompted a good
deal of speculation In the country. There
is export demand for this cereal, but It Is
figured that the prices now ruling here are
above export value, as based on lOOs freights.
Barloy has been coining out of the In
terior in the past few months at a faster
rate than last year. So far this season, the
receipts at tidewater have been 54.610 tons,
of which Portland received 21.120 tons. Ex
ports lor the season to dato have' been
46S.SJ7 bushels from Portland and 5.-7.057
bushels from Puget Sound, the total of
1,005.874 bushels comparing with 503.011
bushels shipped from all North Pacific ports
In the same- period last year.
For November brewing barley, $28.75 was
offered at .the Exchange session, an advance
of over the previous day, while Decem
ber bids were raised $1 to $28.50. Feed bar
ley offers were also advanced 1 as compared
with Monday.
The wheat market was also inactive, but
exhibited a firm undertone. Whit wheat
bids were raised H cent to 1 cent. The
oats market was quiet and nut materially
changed. .
Broomhall says in his weekly international
wheat review:
"Market during the week has ruled firm,
with a difficulty in purchases consequent
upon the American exchange and the scar
city of workable offers.
"The ccarclty of spot hero is keenly felt,
as American arrivals have been light and
native movement disappointing, but it Is
expected, that British wheat will soon be
delivered more freely, as the Government Is
relieving the scarcity.
"Importing countries continue to depend
upon North America, and it is believed that
this dependency will continue during the
next four and one-half months, because
Australian and Argentine wheat cannot be
come available for foreign consumption be
fore the middle of March, and not eveif
then unless the freight situation is re
lieved. "Recent events m ITiuce may serve to
reduce requirements there, moderately, but
at best import needs are largo and Italy's
recent purchases, when their own crop Is
moving, serves to confirm requirements in
excess of our earlier estimate.
"I now reckon the total season's require
ments at 472.000.000 bushels, and it official
reports on American and Canadian outturn
can bo relied upon, this quantity can easily
be obtainable, even without aid from the
Southern hemisphere.
"Tho world's crop this season Is Indicated
as a record, exceeding 4,000.000.000 bushels,
but there is a strong growing belief that
growers will continue to bold tightly and
much depends upon the disposition shown
by North American holders to market and
the ensuing three wteks may suffice to
show Uio tendency."

Big Purchase in " Bulgaria
Causes Complications.
CHICAGO ACTS PROMPTLY
Advances of Two Cents and More
Follow Bullish Acfviecs Vrorn
Europe Winnipeg Strength
Indicates Foreign Bnying.
CHICAGO, Nov. 2. Reports of increased
tension between C recce and the Anglo
French allies did a good deal today toward
bringing about higher prices for wheat. The
marktit closed strong, tic to 2'82Hc up.
with December at $1.04 Si and May at
$1.05S. Other leading staples, too. scored
net gains corn Ho to rfc. oats ic, and
provisions a shade to 17M:C.
Upturns in the wheat market began Tight
at the start, and received at no time any
Important check. Bulls gave chief attention
to the foreign situation, especially advices
from Liverpool telling of inadequate sup
plies, nnd saying that the purchase of 3.000.
00O bushels of wheat by Greece from Bul
garia had led to a fresh political tangle.
Persistent strength, a'so. of quotations at
Winnipeg was taken to mean further buying
there for Europe.
In the corn pit. assertions that the quality
of this BeaBon's crop averaged only 76.0 per
cent, as against K5 per cent for a series of
years, gave an advantage to the bulls. Be
sides, there w.-is talk of an Improved export
demand at the seaboard.
Oats were also helped upward by advices
of a good distributing business in the East.
Cnsh transactions here, however, were not
enlarged to any perceptible extent.
Strength in the provision marftet resulted
chiefly from a radical cutting down of
Western stocks .of meats. Packers sold on
the bulge.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
