City Treasurer Werieln is another lty
official who want the charter revised
and said today that the sooner the work
Is taken up and completed the better U
will be for the people, lie aald .that
the present charter provision covering
the operation of the city's finances limit
the treasurer toe much.
Speaking specifically Werleln aald that

all money taken in by the city has to

Inasmuch as most of the city's money
comes in after the time bas passed
when deposits can be made It la evident
that the change is imperative.- The city

realise the necessity of having a re

charter. One of the chief provisions of
the document is "unless as herein Oth

Another feature in regard to the
vagueness of the meaning of the char
ter Is that ' it throws an Immense

men get Into an argument over the re

manner of transacting certain1 busineea
and the squabble generally ends by re
ferring the whole matter to the city at

tle the question by searching through
the city charter. Such , altercations
arise at nearly every meeting and not
only take up the time of the council
men and prolong their meetings, but
alB0-4akea up the time of the city at

With these conditions to remedy "the
officials are arranging to appoint a
commission to revise the charter. The
last . charter board was appointed by
the legislature, but It is believed that
a resolution will be passed by the coun
cil authorising the mayor to appoint a
commission which shall draw up a
charter that will be submitted to the
people at the next election.

commission two days ago atatmg mat
the decision would be forthcoming with

The commission in deciding the hard
wood rate case reduoed the rail rate
from 84 cents to 76 cents onshlpments
from the east to the Facmc coaat. ine
decision ruled that the old rate was
excessive and in this regard it is looked
upon as a victory for the lumbering In
dustry as well as for consumers. The
lumber Interests feel encouraged by It
to hope for a favorable decision In the
case of Paeiflo coast lumber shipments

panies have placed a rate that is rapidly
driving Pacific coaat lumber out of the

The coast lumbermen appealed to the

ago he discovered there wa a place that
put his beloved pippin far in the shade,
and he Is looking for a change of base.
. But he wants the best and Is seek
ing It. Although a firm believer in the
excellence of the Hood River article,
he believes there may be some other
spot in Oregon more favored and he
wants to find It. When he does he will
plant an orchard under the direction of
a trained, practical and theoretical or
chardlst, that has never, had its like.
Tree of pedigreed stock will be se

fruning and spraying adopted that are
he result of the combined experience
of the best orchardlsts In the world.
Expense Is a secondary consideration
witn thl ardent old orchardist, whose
ambition is to raise an apple so fine
that when it I placed on exmoition it
will win all the prises in a walk and
