'A STEP FORWARD KN CITY GOVERNMENT THE TIMES hopes for the good of the city and everyone of Its citizens that before another municipal election Mnrshlleld will adopt tho com mission form of sovernmeni. Tho present costly and cumbersome method Involved in poll .lea, foolish factions and other archaic features, has long outlived Its useful icsb. The present torm of city government 1b as much out of dnte In a modern city as street lighting with tallow candles. Everywhere tho new commission form of city government, nnd In many places with its most ndwmced feature a city manager, Instead of a Mayor, ts being adopted. 'Concerning this new plan, an exchange says: "All careful students of American public affairs have spoken of our s-ystem of municipal government as the point nt which democracy has been ienst successful. They are right. The time-honored organization of Mayor, Hoard of Aldermen and Common Council Is 'cumbrous nnd Inefficient; often.. it Is tho easy prey of ccrruptlonlsts. Thirteen years ago a .-real storm swept over Galveston, Texas. The la vishing waters erased more than buildings and blotted out more than the boundaries of city warns, They obliterated party lines, and left a clean nlate. The result was the commission form of government. It has proved t-o simple, so direct, so efficient, that since then more than three hundred other cities have adopted It. But although It Is an Improvement over any 1 revlous form of city government; it hns Its vulnerable points. A little while ago Dayton, Ohio, like Galveston, Texas, met with a dis inter. The waters poured over It and left It a sodden wreck, with Its nat ural resources crippled, and facing tasks that only a united and non-partl-van spirit could hope to achieve. Out of that disaster, as out of the wreck of Galveston, has come a new torm of government. On August 12th, the tlty voted to adopt a plan long established In Germany, but hitherto un tried In America by any municipality Inrgor than that of Staunton, Virginia; tho plan, namely, of having the city governed, as every great corporation Is, l y n manager, chosen solely for competency, nnd paid a salary commensu rate with the value or his services. The now charter provides ror a government of five elected commission ers, but tho real administration of all departments except the schools and the courts, will lie In fhe hands or a city manager, a capable, trained exe cutive, whom the commissioners will hire. In contrast with our hnblts or city government, our management or tho public schools has been excellent. Wo .select a school superintendent, not because he belongs to this political party or that, or because he Is popular. Wo do not oven Insist on rinding him among the residents or our own city; 'jut we search the country over ror the best man we can alTord, and then we buy his brains and experience ror tho good or our children. Tho Dayton plan applies the samo method to tho management or the wholo city. Although new here, tho plan Is ramlllar In Germany, where It hns resulted fn tho most elllclent and economical city government In the world. It Is certain to gain ground in tho United States. Our grandchildren will read with nn Incredulous smile or tho days when tho chief magistrate of a great t Ity could be chosen because or the shrewdness or the subservience ho had shown In the practice or petty and ometlmcB dishonest politics." FILL SLOUCR WITH DREOG E Port of Coos Bay Commission Decides to Make it Third Area to be Filled. At a mooting of tho Port or Coos Bay Commission hint, evening, Jt was decided to Jill the urea between Sec ond and Sixth streets south to Elrod, anil the area between Elrod and Hall avenues by the dredge Seattle first. Then, ir the city has concluded ar rangements ror lllllng Mill Slough, the balance or the dredglngs will bo pumped Into Mill Slough and ir there Is a surplus It will be used In lining tho area between Hull and Johnson avenues. Tho matter was discussed at length, the question about the greater fill being raised. Tho Port Commission decided to leave tho petitions as they mo. insuring only a four-foot till, but probably giving a live-foot fill over tho area. The question nbout drainage in Mill Slough will probably havo to bo settled by tho city council. Some ex pressed themselves in favor r loav- Iiil' onlv a small ditch now until a cedar box drain could bo put in and Inter, after tho fill settles, a brlcK or concreto drainage sewer be put In. if the slourch Is filled now It is ime- ly that It will only be filled as far imek as Sixth street at present. In case of this, sufficient will bo allowed tn run south of Hall avenue to fill up the ditches and waterholes there now. The contract with Manager Miller nf the dredge Seattle for handling tho shore pipe between Isthmus In let and North Bend, and also cioing Mm hulkheadlng. Is at the rate of one ,and three-fourths cents per cubic yard. The ouestlon of erecting a ware house was briefly discussed and the warehouse committee will heport at the next meeting. Expected Soon, word 1 exnected soon as the exact date on which the P. S. Mlchle, the new Bar Dredge, -will be brougnt, lere from Puget Sound. In his last letter, Major Morrow stated that It would be about November i. Kn announcement has been made yet as to who -will be the captain of the Mlchle. but It Is stated that the crew -will 1e largely from the Dredge Cfainook, wilch1 DM been TO CLOSE DEAL TERMINAL Ralph D. Moody Expected Here Tomorrow Route Through Smith Property. Halph D. Moody or tho Southern Pacific legal department will arrive 1 hero on the Breakwater tomorrow to assist In closing the transfer or tho Terminal Hallway's steam rranchlso to tho Southern Pacific. It Is expected that the deal will be closed within a day or two. Whether the Southern Pacific will attempt to' close tho deal now ror the right or way through the Alll nnco warohouse and the C. A. Smith compnny's yards has not yet been announced. When It Is uncertain about tho closing or Mill Slough, it Is under stood the company figured on using South Broadway from Just south 'or Curtis nvonuo, thereby using tho city brldgo across tho slough. Now, however, It Is understood, they aro planning to mako their routo a di rect continuation or Front Street, eliminating tho bad curves that the swing over to Broadway would cause thorn. It tho dopot Is lo cated near Broadway and' Curtis, ns has been talked or, tho direct route would afford them better service to and from tho dopot and ellmlnato the danger of accidents thnt would result from trains operating In the principal street leading to tho dopot. It is presumed that this uncertain ty about the amount of right of way desired through the Smith prop erties is what has delayed the ne gotiations for the stretch of right of way. ELKS NOTICE.

WILLIAM SULZER NOW OPENS CAMPAIGN OFFICES IN NEW YORK EASTSID E10 EF WILL ISSl'E CITV GK.XK.ItAL l-TXD WAItltAXTS TO PAY SPECIAL LEW TAX TO MAKE GOOD LOSS AT PltESEXT. The Eastsldo City Council will meet tonight and order general fund warrants 'Issued ror tho $30S0 of tho city funds that dis appeared from the safe there. The general fund warrants will be Issued to pay Perhnm & Gldley tor their street contract. They will have to be met by a special tax levy to be collected the coming year provid ing the thler Is not (Uncovered and the shortage made good or partly so. This was abJiit tho only develop ment today in the Eastsldo ense. Xo arrests have been made and none are likely to be made ror some tlmo. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Lll- jeqvlst is expected here soon from Coqullle to hear tho evidence from some- additional people, whlcb will probably be strong links In the chain of circumstantial evidence thnt Is gathering. At present, It 1b not likely that any attempt will bo made to make Recorder W. .1. Leaton or his bonds men make good any part of the missing funds. Tho fact that Mr. Leaton Bnys the money was In the city's safe makes It a question ns to whether It was In his pocossloon or the possession of city of Enst slde. It raises a strange question of lnw which probably will not bo decided until the criminal case In volved Is settled.

A now point has been raised In tho case of the City of Bandon vs. the Bandon Water company. Tho city begun suit In equity to termi nate tho Water company's franchise and now tho Water company raises the point that tho city has no. such right, that the city In granting the f ranch Iso acted merely as agent for the state and that If the franchise Is to be revoked, It must be done through quo warranto proceedings In the name of the state. The question has never been raised In Oregon before and upon the com pletion of the arguments, both sides were given ton dayB In which to file briefs. Road Tax Case.

Until tho election on November -1 he will con duct the campaign with Private Sec retary Chester Piatt as manager, for election to the stnto assembly. Tho entry of the deposed governor luto the campaign, which was already nt a high pitch of excitement over tho mayoralty contest, promises to mako the next two weeks stirring In a poll cal way. Kuslonlsts seeking tho election of John Purroy Mitchell as mnyor nro guarded in expressing enthusiasm over tho entry of Sulzer luto tho cam paign, but mako no secret of their satisfaction over the light Sulzor do- clarcd against Tammany. Sulzer continues to make the charg es that Charles F.
