K. II. Hooper, mayor of Kogue
IMver. has filed his biennial tepurt
tor tho two ears ending this mouth.
H Miows receipts of J0317 of which
$852S was from tnNcs, J24IO from
liquor llrcnes, 10? from pool, dog
and show licenses, $90 from fines.
fS from pound fees. Tho expenses
totaled IG220, divided as follews:
Interest on bonds, $727; police, re
corders and city Hall. J13SI. Per
manent Improvements grading, sew
er, city hall, etc., ?3RD7; warrants
redeemed, $515,'
In additton the mayor remarks:
Tho ircelpts and disbursements of
the watert department have been
kept separate from the other funds
Tho water sjstem cost approximately
$12,000. Tho funds wero derived
from the sale of $10,000 bond fosue
which was authorlred by the voters
on August 15, 1911. and warrants
for $2000 were Issued to mako up
the deficiency. This constitutes tho
total Indebtedness against tho water
system with the exception of ono out
standing warrant for $2S2.30. same
being Issued to equip the system
with meters. There Is now nearly
enough outstanding In unpaid-water
bills and In the treasury of the water
fund, to take care of this warrant.
Interest on the water bonds has
been patd from tho general fund.
We 'arc Indebted to tho citizens of
town for a contribution of $71.50
toward the cost of tho band stand
and to members of the band for a
portion" of tho labor.
Wo arc Indebted to tho ladles of
tte Roguu River Improvement club
for tho drinking fountain Installer in
front of the band stand.
There has been constructed 1030
lineal feet of concrete sidewalk. This
has been dono by the owners of the
property adjoining.
A franchise has been granted to
the Home Telephone & Tclograpii
company. This company Is now
making preparations to remove all
poles from the principal streets to
thealle)s and place a portion of the
overhead wires In cables.
Aside from warrants outstanding
against the water fund, which I have
mentioned above, there has been a
warrant Issued for $1327 for ho;o
nnd reels and other fire equipment.
This stands as a debt against the gen
eral fund at this time.
I bespeak for the coming council
your hearty co-operation. They have
accepted tho office to which they arc
elected under protent. You will find
that they are able to gje you mucin
better service If they have your sup
port In anything that they may un-

on n Now, York roof garden In which
nearly all tho entertainer appeared
Throughout the merry affair the
Influence of Frank Fogarty, an Irre-
slstahlc funny and artistic comedian,
and the pleasing personality of .Mha
Mojfl made themselves felt.
Tho -program began with Sidney
Wood and the Domino SUtnrit, sing
ers nnd eccentric dancers. Tho girls
were graceful even when their dance
methods wero not. and the act was
received with hearty approval.
Kd Itell rontrlbniud "A Llttlo
Nonsonse." which served to cultivate
the merry mood already present in
tho audience, and also mndo swet
and melodious music with motal dUos
which looked like Key tags, but rang
like silver bells. Then he took a nice
looking banjo nnd made It do utterly
absurd thing, to the convulsive
amusement of the crowd.
"Tho Act Hcautirul" Introduced
something strikingly new In tableau
vlants. Tho poked statuary Intro-
I duced scenes of a day's hunt, ending
, with tho death of ono of the dogs. A
woman, a man, a horse and four
dogs participated, -neniittful It was.
