Roeebraugh was trying to ;et the council bound to a proposal to buy tho Englewood park site from T. B.

Tho upshot was that the city is now only con ditionally bound. Other members contributed to the oratory. Tho feeling was unanimous that the city should buy the park site, the dif ference being jm the question whether the resolution should forthwith bind the city to the pur- chaso or whether it should be amended to bind the city only on condition that satisfactory fman cial arrangements could be made. Kosebraugh and others took the stand that no trouble would bo found in making suitable arrange ments. The mayor and some others were of the same opinion, but held that good business dictated that such provision he made in the (Continued on Pago (Sight) AT 9 FEET LEVEL A pproai'h ing flood st age, the level of the Willamette river parsed the 9 foot mark above normal at noon today, still riein rapidly.
