Mow tha xow Began.
The occasion for Kavanaugh'a speech
was du to Mayor Lane's remarks at
th meeting of th Judiciary committee
laat Friday. 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.

MAYO R SPIES AN

Purchase of Fire Apparatus
Therefore Deferred by
the Council.
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.
SINGLE TAX DEBATE

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,

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. We will be open every- night
this week until 9 o'clock. :'
