At that Una th counotl men Bought to how that Mayor Lane w.. raananaihla for th DUfchane of cable for the fir department whloii should have been furnUhed by th tele phone companies. "Mayor Lane denied that ve wa rasponslbl and showed where other had violated the charter In thl referred to th advloe City Attorney Kavanaugh furnlahed th council last fall. , At that time City Treasurer Werleln had deposit of city funds In local banks contrary to the city charter. When the financial trouble came on and the gov ernor declared a holiday Werleln asked the council to share the burden of the infringement with him. He. said that the funds were well protected and that the city would lose no money, but that inasmuch as he had advised, the council as to hi ooure in depositing the money and had made monthly reports In regard to them, it wouia reiiev- mm i know that the council approved his acts. The council pasted a resolution to this effect and then went into the finan cial question on its Own behalf, some thing It had never done before or since. When the members discovered they had erred In allowing Werleln to make such deposits they were skeptical as to the outcome and probably would never have . passed the resolution until after n In vestigation they found that the city would 4ose no money by the city treas urer' action. Quiet Special Keating'. A special meeting of the counoll was called, without the Knowledge of Mayor Lane at which the resolution was passed. Mayor Lane heard of the meet ing and came in just aa the aesslon was concluding, but too late to stop the passage of the resolution. It was over City Attorney Kavanaugh' statement at thl meeting that the mayor and the city attorney differ. Mayor Lane says that Kavanaugh advised the councilman that inaamuoh as the funds had been placed on deposit outside of the charter provisions and no harm had resulted that probably none would result If the deposits were continued. , Kavanaugh denies this, but Mayor Lane Insists that he did make such a emark. After Kavanaugh ended hli sneach bv daolarina that his admlnls t ration of the office of cltv attorney had been honest. Councilman Baker arose and moved that the differences of the mayor and city attornev oe sutea out at the next meeting of the council, when the member could resolve them selves Into a committee of the whole. No second was forthcoming to Baker's motion and the incident ended. O. O. Croner Dead. 6peeiil Diapatrh to Tb( Journal.) Eusene. Or..

The four fire engine whose purchase th city council' fire committee had authorised will not be secured at this time. By a vote of to 2 the city coun ell In special session yesterday after noon decided to defer the purchase. As a consequence $24,800 appropriated for the purpose of buying the engine Will revert to the general fund. Mayor Lane told the first .-hi el that he was in favor of giving him Just as many engines as he could show were needed and no more, and should neces sity arise for a new appropriation he wouia advocate the expenditure qr only what money waa absolutely necessary. xne mayor s report on the bids for the fire englens and combination chem ical engines and hose wagon was read to the council. The mayor thought It a peculiar circumstance that two bids made by rival companies, one on each side of the continent, should be ex actly the aame. The mayor prob ably Intended to convey the impres sion that there existed a combination on the part of the bidders. That the refusal of the O.'R, N. company to pay $73,000 due the city in taxes,- tne noid up or tne venici tax ordinance In court and the possibility of a decrease In liquor license reve nues in the event of the local optioners winning on the east side, threatens the city with a serious financial deficit, is the opinion of the mayor. To offset this probable decrease in the revenues some encouraarlnc fls ures wer given out by Chief Deputy Auditor Orutte. According to these figures the city will have available something like $86,000. interest on city runas on denoslt in local oanks will amount, before January i, to fiz.uuu; interest on outstanding bonds, $8,000; for the Brooklyn sewer, $20,000: saloon license transfers. $1,000. and $5,000 In excess of previous esti mates of municipal court receipts. However, with the expenditure which will be necessary, Mr. Orutse estimates the amount available for the general fund at the beginning of next year will not be more than $16,000.

To introduce our coal on the Portland market, we will deliver absolutely free two (2) tons of coal with every five (5) shares of stock sold for cash at $4.25 per share (par value $10.00) between now and 9 o'clock Saturday night; limit twenty-five (25) shares and ten (10) tons of coal to every one person. If the stock is not paying dividends and selling for par $10.00 per share in twelve! months from this date, we will deliver to you one (1) ton of coal upon surrender , of the stock, for every share of stock. Ss mi semi -.1111 hisiiiisi'iiiimiiwiiiii- mi T ,. , ..n, , , , . , ' If yoti question our ability to carry this agreement out to the letter, take t aday off and visit the mine where you can see hundreds of thousands of tons of coal actuallyblocked out ready for the market, with the best and cheapest, transportation facilities of any coal mine in the United States, with more than $200,000 already spent in development ,and equipment. Why We Make This Offer FIRST -We are compelled to drive our narrow work this summer to pre pare for a large tonnage this winter. This necessitates our taking out hun-' dreds of tons of coal every week. We have no place to store this coal and must therefore move it to some one's basement. ' SECOND If we can put from two to ten tons of coal in the basement of one hundred homes, we will have one hundred people to refer to who are using C ARDIFRC OAL and have one hundred Boosters. THIRD That everybody who uses two or more tons of Cardiff Coal will : never use any other coal if they can get CARDIFF. We can refer you to peo ple who have used it all winter and who will not burn anything else. FOURTH WE ARE DETERMINED TO FORCE THIS COAL ON THE MARKET, because we know it will stand on its merits notwithstanding that hundreds of knockers, including coal, cord and slabwood. dealers say it won't burn. DID. YOU EVER SEE COAL THAT WOULDN'T BURN? FIFTH We want every public-spirited man. in Portland who is inter ested in cheap fuel to give our coal a good test, if it will fill the bill, to boost for us. But be man enough not to knock the coal until you know absolutely what you are talking about One Hundred ($100) Dollars Reward We will pay one hundred ($100.00) dollars' reward in cash to any man or woman in Portland who can prove by actual test with proper facilities that Car diff Coal won't make as quick and hot a fire and last as long as any coal mined on the Pacific coast. We admit that the coal is not as clean as some coal and that it is heavy in ash. It is also cleaner and lighter in ash than some coal sold in Portland for nearly double the price. It is absolutely free from soot, sl very.' objectionable feature m much of the coal sold here. " Cardiff Coal $4.00 per Ton on the Dock "7, 1 1 Cardiff Coal & Coke Co.'s Stock at $4.25 per Share Next Monday this stock will sell for $4.50 per share and the price will be positively advanced every Monday morning twenty-five (25) cents per share tin til it reaches par, $10.00 per share. Come to the office and see the coal burn.
