Steamship company to transport flour

Although there, are more steamers
on . the coast route " than . ever before,
each of them is bringing n greater quan

large. Attention waa called to this fact
thla morning by Captain Doran, master
of the steamer Columbia, which arrived
yesterday from 'Ban Franclaoo. '
Ha explains that the Portland aV or
Francisco Steamship company has four
steamers In service this season, while
laat year it had only two. Furthermore,
he asserts that each of the additional

Multnomah' county 'will close the fis
cal year with fewer liabilities than for
11 yeara past. The county will be prac
tically free from debt, the only obliga
tions being the warrants for road work,
which' will have to be indorsed by the
county treasurer when they are present
ed from now until the end of the year.
The eatlmatea of the recelpta and ex
penditures made the ftrat of the year
ahowed the county would have no lia
bilities at its close, but an unusually
large amount of road work thla fall
made the expenses . heavier than esti
mated. Thla has been due to the un
usually dry weather, which permitted a
great amount of Improvement to be
made to the thoroughfares in the coun
ty. Instead of expending an average of
IS.00S a-month for road work, the bills
will foot twice this sum.
""The road fund is exhausted," ssld
County Treasurer Lewis this morning,
"and I will have to Indorse the remain
der of. the warrants which are received.
There will be sufficient in the general
fund to meet all other expenses until
