Numerous other cuts brought the Commission within S15.800 of the bud fe l,,tal necessary to keep within a 16-mlll levy, and adjournment was then taken until Saturday, when the pruning will be completed. Besides the positions mentioned, the Council also has eliminated the office I Of license inspector for 1916, thereby cutting expenses 1200 more, and indi cations are that by the time the Com mission gets through trimming for 1916 the city will have several less cinema man now grace the payrolls. Rate Revenue "Saving" Made. The light and water department, which is one of the municipal revenue producers, suffered at the hands of the Commission. The law requires that the city departments must each pay for light or water used. On this basis, the public safety and publio works de partments have been paying the water departn.ent $4 a year rent for each hydrant, and the Commission cut this rate, effecting a "saving" of $37,950 by the one "juggle." Water trough and drinking fountain rentals were cut about $1220 more. Plans were even made to charge the department $3600 a year for ofrice rent in the City Hall rnd a 2 per- cent gross earnings tax. but the Commis sioners found this might act as a boom erang on other departments, and "laid off" it temporarily. Then it was decided to turn the 2 per cent cross earnings tax and a general tax levy of 3 mills against the assessed value of the light and water property into a sinking fund to retire old light and water bonds.

Four Scoring Most Points Will Be Rewarded by Special Trip to Salem With Expenses Paid for Week. BY W. A. PETT1T. ROSEBURG. Or., Sept. 18. (Special.) "The best event of its kind ever held in Roseburg," was the. general expres sion of the thousands of people who attended the Douglas County Fair, which closed here last night after a successful three days' exhibition. One feature of the fair which at tracted much attention from all classes of people was the exhibit of industrial school work. Just two instances of canning by girls will give some idea of the results attained by the school children of Douglas County. Dorothy Scurr, of Riddle, showed by her report that she had put up 320 Jars of fruit and vegetables at a net profit of $12.77. Vivian Carr, of Yoncalla, put up 179 jars at a net profit of $13.12. The difference m the net profit of the two exhibitors was due largely to the cost of materials used. Sewing Results Surprise. The classes in sewing also showed many surprising results. Each worker makes a written report and many of these reports were neatly bound, as well as being most carefully prepared. One deserving special mention in this line was that of Mary Huntington, of Yoncalla. These reports were made under the State Industrial Club rules, and they will be filed with the Oregon Agricul tural College at Corvallis. Many of the boys of the countv have been doing remarkable work also. Two of them had pigs on exhibit at the fair. Herbert Dungay. of Yoncalla. had a Duroc-Jersey pig aged 3 months and 22 days, which weighed 125 pounds. It made a remarkable daily increase in weight, but this was not done at a financial profit. His report showed a net los3 of 22 cents. Fr"ank Bursik showed two Poland China pigs. One months old weighed 244 Dounds. While its growth was slower, it showed net pront of $14.04. These estimates are made on a basis of 8 cents a pound live weight. In these contests boys were not required to bring their pigs to the county fair, their detailed re ports being sufficient for the purpose of judging the results. Boy Makes Finest Record. L. P. Harrington, state field worker for the school industrial clubs, was in attendance at the fair, having chars-e of the school . exhibits. He reported that one boy, aged 14 years, of Drain. iled with the Oregon Agricultural Col lege . the finest record ever . received there in a dairying contest, his cow being a half Jersey and half Red Polled. There were two classes of exhibits entered under the state rules.- One was Known as the open (individual) con tests and the other the club projects. Prizes were offered in each class. A feature of great interest to the participants was the fact that two boys and. two girls from the county making me Dest records will be given a triD to the State Fair at Salem, with all expenses paid. They will be housed at the two industrial camps on the State air grounds, each under the direction of competent chaperones. where they will be the guests of the State Fair Board for the entire week. The boys and girls who will enjoy this trip are Leslie Butner, West Roseburg; Florence Wharton. Roseburg; Mary Huntington, Yoncalla, and Herbert Dungay, of Yon calla. These two boys and two girls won the most points in their school industrial work for the past year as shown by their detailed reports and i exhibits at the fair.

OLYMPIA, Wash.. Sept. 18. (Spe cial.) In a letter to the State Board of Equalization Governor Lister asks that body, in fixing the state tax levy, to bear in mind his plan of arranging finances so that the next session of the Legislature may wipe out the en tire bonded debt of the state. Outstanding bonds, issued 10 years ago to take up illegal normal school warrants, amount to only $206,000. There is now in the general fund more than $1,600,000. Instead of taking into account the entire balance now in the general fund the Governor advocates a levy that will leave a balance of at least $200,000 when the next Legisla ture meets, so that the normal school bonds may be retired without an ap preciable financial effort. There are said to be 14 states free from bonded indebtedness.. In addition to the normal school bonds, which have been subject to re tirement for five years, the Govern- nor calls attention -to the fact that $75,000 Wenatchee bridge bonds are outstanding as a charge against the public highway fund, drawing 4 per cent, with a provision that 10 per cent be redeemed each year. "I am sure there would be no diffi culty whatever in purchasing and re tiring these bonds," the Governor de clares. The Governor adds that though a $4,000,000 bold Issue for Capitol build ing purposes has been authorized, these bonds never will he a general charee against the state, but only against the Capitol land grant. the Southwest Washington Fair. ha gone to North Yakima, in company with K.
