MAYOR TO SHIFT BURDEN
WIIX MARK NO ESTIMATE OX
CITY TAX LEVY.
Council This Year Will Aunre En
tire Responsibility for Establish
ing Municipal Expense Buds"t.
Mayor Lane will not make any rec
ommendations to the Council this year
as to the amount of money that should
be apportioned to each city department,
but will leave It entirely In the hands
of the ways and means committee.
This Is contrary to the usual custom,
and places the responsibility strictly
upon the members of the Council. Last
year the Mayor made a recommenda
tion and the Council deducted a mill.
This year, however, there is far great
er harmony between the executive and
tlie Council, and It is expected they
will work together In an effort to get
the best results.
The task of compiling the annual
budget Is one of the most difficult
duties of the Council, and Involves a
great amount of work, so that numer
ous special meetings of the ways and
means committee are always necessary.
Councilman Kushllght, chairman of the
committee, announced yesterday that
he will call up the matter at the next
session of the committee.
All of the department estimates are
In. the department chiefs having' been
Instructed by Mayor Lane several
months ago to put In their requests
by September 15. These are now on
flic with City Auditor Barbur, and will
be taken up by the ways and means
committee at the next regular com
mittee meeting, which will be Monday,
November 2J. It Is probable that spe
cial sessions. of the committee will then
b called In order to get the budget
Into condition for presentation to the
Council.
After the ways and means committee
makes Its report It is the duty of the
Council to act. Last year several
changes were made, chiefly In the fire
department, which suffered a big cut.
Politics figured very largely In the
action of the Council at that time. It Is
said, and It Is believed that this year's
budget will be more harmoniously ar
ranged. There Is every Indication that the
city tax levy will be higher In 1909
than this year, as the city stands in
urgent need of a modern police head
quarters. Municipal Court and City
Jail, aa well as an emergency hospital,
a garbage crematory and other munici
pal Improvements It is the plan of
some of the Councllmen to levy an as
sessment this year that will cover the
cost of these utilities. If this plan Is
followed out taxes are sure to be
higher.
Tell or Halloway's Conduct.
Adolph Adler. the self-etyled agent of a
black-hand society who threatened Slg
Slchel and Ken Selling with death last
Summer unless they paid him HOD apiece,
and who has been generally looked upon
as a dangerous lunatic, was on the witness-stand
In the trcuil Omrt yesterday
as an ejipert on Insanity. Adler was -railed
by the defense in tlx trial of Cheater
Halloway. who shot his wife five times In
a jealous rage last June, and who is
pleading insanity as a defense. Adler
had been In tile same cell with Halloway
and described his peculiar conduct as
evidence of Insanity.
"He would walk up and down the cell
talking to his wife and saying she was
In tlie cell with hint. He'd keep saying ho
wanted his wife and baby and was going
to go get them." Adler said.
Rdward H. Martin, convicted slayer of
Nathan Wolff, wsa also called to tell of
Adler s peculiar conduct. Martin gave it
as hU belief that the man was wrong.
In order to establish Halloway's mental
status on a scientific basis the attorneys
In the case called Dr. William House, the
well-known brain specialist. .Dr. House
said, when Halloway's conduct was de
scribed minutely, that his actions might
Indicate mental irregularities. Kvidence in
the ease was completed and the case will
go to the Jury Monday.
Golden Anniversary of
Historic Wedding
Mr. sad Mrs. ISnthan White, of
ienbera. Principals ta Triple Nup
tials Before Indiana Friends.
ROMANCE and history were combined
.at a reception at New berg. November
t. In celebration of the golden anniver
sary of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs.
Nathan White. The romance began many
years ago In an Indiana village and the
participants in this golden wedding anni
versary nave been prominent figures In
tlie. history of Oregon.
Fifty years ago the elders of Friends
Meeting. Richmond. Indiana, received
taree declarations of marriage. Tlie dec
larations were the results of three machea
culminated at K&rlham College. The three
grooms lived at quite a distance from the
school and none of the three brides ac
cordingly was willing to postpone the
wedding, for soon the roads would be
come impassable. So, on November S,
IKS. In the presence of some 3000 wit
nesses, the triple ceremony, queer and
quaint as the Frends' customs provide,
took place In the old meeting house.
Youngest and fairest, perhaps, of these
brides was Elizabeth Pool, the pet of the
school, who was married to Nathan
White, of Old Blue River.
On Tuesday. November 3. 1908, at New
berg. Mr. and Mrs. White celebrated their
golden weddln- giving a reception to
their friends from 1 o'clock until P. M.
It happened to be election day and fur
ther to celebrate his good fortune Mr.
White voted for William H. Taft for
President.
The house was decorated In Autumn
leaves anU ferns with strings of lady
apples. The table decorations consisted
of a pyramid of fruit surrounded by
mignonette representing the Autumn of
life. Mrs. White's bridesmaid, her sis:er,
Mrs. L. IS. Adair, of Eugene, assisted in
receiving. Those assisting at the table
were Misses Mary Cook. Emma Heacock,
Knla Colcord and Florence Kaufman.
Mrs. E. Johnson, of Whtttler, Cal.,
presided over the registration book.
m.iiw than 2i guests were received.
many having come from distant parts of
the country. Their children. Mrs. Harri
son Ogden. of Portland, and Everett
White, of N'ewberg. also one grandson.
Merrill Pool Ogden. of Rugene. were with
them. Another grandchild. Everett Peck

Mr. White is the author of many poems
The Satisfaction
of Knowing Yoar
JEWELS
There would be absolutely
no enjoyment in the wearing
of a jewel of any kind if yon
were the least in doubt as to
its genuineness.
To entertain the slightest
doubt as to the quality of
any article of jewelry would
completely destroy every par
ticle of satisfaction that
might be derived from the
wearinc of it
Jewelry adornments must
be genuine, or the wearer
could not feel adorned by
them. The knowledge of their
being other than what they
should be, wonld create the
suspicion that everybody who
saw them could tell it.
It is the absolute knowledge
that your jewelry is just ex
actly what you bought it for
that constitutes the real sat
isfaction of wearing it.
"Whan you buy from my
stock you receive the gen
uine, whether it be solid gold,
silver or plate. My trade is
composed largely of people
who have a pretty good
knowledge of jewelry, and
the high character of my
stock is what appeals to them
and brings them to my store
to trade.
Every article in my stock
is selected by me and known
to be genuine. Anything yon
purchase of me is absolutely
guaranteed to be genuine.
I invite you to look at my
superb showing of jewelry
novelties before you finally
select your gifts for Christmas'.
