the scene of the depredations Satur

Indians. The Indians had received
warning of the coming of the whites,
and prepared an 'ambuscade for them.

OREGON CITY. Nov. 2.The deci
sion by the supreme court that no tax
levy can be made before next Janu
ary leaves this county in particularly
bad shape financially. 'With a debt al
ready amounting to probably $140,000.
jnore warrants will have to be Issued
to meet the running expenses, while tho
interests on warrants now outstanding
wMl accumulate.
Of course should the proposed special
session of the Legislature he convened.
as is now expected, the-matter will be
simplified, but th? county.. Officials re
gard the decision as unfortunate in ths
are of this county, as the debt Is al
ready large. j; i"-..; -' -;'-'1:-i ''.--',
PORTLAND. Nov. 2. City and coun
ty officials agree that unless . Special
session of the Oregon Legislature la
held to legalise the January lax levy,
the city of Portland and. Multnomah
county will be without finances for tho
entutnff year. .
"Without the January tax levy th
city government cannot exist; it must
go to pieces." said Mayor Williams.
City Auditor Devlin hoi Is the same
view The chartir for the city of Port
and makes it illegal for the city to go
irto debt. The coin must be in the
treasury. City councilmen who would
role to contract a debt would under
the existing law., be guilty of malfeas
ance In office. There wilt be aljoui
50,000 with which to run the city gov
ernment after January 1 ' next. ThH
e mount Is only "it drop in the bucket
f d would last tut two months.
M tit noma h county Is already thirteen
months behind in its warrants and the
debt would increase at the rate of $2,-
0A a month unless the January ttx
ltvy.should.be collected. ; , ,
H. S. Allen, clerk of the city school
board, says his department would be
run In debt between $309,060 and tlOej-
0O0 without the levy. The county and
the school district could tide over the
difficulty by issuing warrants and
fronds, but the expense entailed would
be great. "The only remedy in the pres
ent situation is for Governor Chamber
lain to call a. special session of the
Legislature to legalize the January 1
tax levy.
. A Mistake Rectified. ,
From the above items and the com
ment heard upon every side It would
seem that the fa fling of ft special ses
sion of the Legislature, to remedy the
dfect in the ..tax-law-., in order to pro
vide for the tax levy for 1903, by the
Governor could not be avotdea.
It ran very readily be seen that, on
less an extraordinary session Is called
to provide relief for the embarrassing
position which many of the counties
would find themselves In, some of the
counties would find themselves so deep
ly buried n debt by the time relief was
atorded that they would be years Jn
cvercomlng.
Governor Chamberlain wired his
