nt a Reply.
Ed. Journal: I notice your com
ments In yesterday's Issue In regard
to the matter of hiring an eastern law
firm to pass upon the validity of our
sewer bond Issue, Instead of requiring
our city attorney to paas upon the
, eatd bonds. In answer please allow
me to submit a letter from a firm
of bond purchasers' of Chicago, which
sets forth he very same arguments
that prevailed in the council when
the matter of employing an attorney
for this purpose, This letter was not
written at that time, and our argu
ments were based largely on common
understanding among western bond
holders. Now I think the letter should
te accepted by the general public as a
justification of the action of the coun
cil, and put to rest the criticism that
we have wasted the people's money, In
mot requiring our city attorney; to ren
der a dectsion.
Chicago, Jan. 28, 1913.
Mr. Rollln K. Page, City Attorney, Sa
lem, Oregon:
Dear Sir: We have heard indirect
ly that your city is considering the
-sale of in the neighborhood of $300,
O00 sewer bonds, and that there is
some prospect of having these ap
proved in advance by an attorney of
" " standing. We hope very much that
they will decide to take this step, and
our reasons are these:
In the first lce the opinion , of
Wood & Oakley or Zane, Bushey &
Weber, of Chicago; Caldwell, Massllch
& Reed, of Now York; or Storey,
Thorndyk & Dodge, of DoBton, would
he entirely satisfactory to any one
bidding for the bonds. These attor
neys, in a general wny, rank equally,
and tholr opinion would not alone be
acceptable to the purchasing house,
Tint to the customers of the purchas
ing house as well.
In the second place the city council
-would know the minute tho bonds
were sold that they would be taken up
promptly and the usual long delay in
liaving the bonds approved would be
done away with. As It Is now ,a city
sells bonds subject to the opinion of
the attorney for the purchasing house,
and they do not know for 60 days, and
sometimes longer, whether the sale
will ever be consummated, and conse
quently whether they will get their
money. In granting the opinion In ad
vance, this Is all done away with.
I getting the bonds approved In ad
vance a city would not be out anything
for the reason that when a house sub
mits a bid for bonds they always fig
ure In their bid the cost of the attor
ney's opinion, etc., and obviously if
this matter has already been taken
care of Just that much is added to
their bid. We think, without excep
tion, that cltlos which have in the
past, and are now pursuing this plan,
think It is the most satisfactory one,
and we know of no city that has start
ed this that has not continued o do
80.
We wish to mention one other point,
that Is, the place of payment of prin
cipal and interest. In a general way,
It is an Eastern house that buys the
bonds of the larger coast cltloa, an4 In
a great majority of cases the custom
ers of such a house reside in tbe
East These customers, consisting of
private Investors, banks and institu
tions, object strenuously to Western
payment because It means that In re
mitting coupons they are out of the
use of that money for a period of a
week or more.
California went through this years
ago when they had no law permitting
them to make the place of payment
outside of the state, and In most cases
.they had to rely on home capital to
purchase their bonds. Eventually,
however, they were forced to secure
legislation permitting them to make
tholr bonds payable at some Eastern
point.
Again, the city docs not lose any
thing by this change, for a house will
pay more for bonds when payment, of
principal and Interest is at some East'
rn monetary center. Your own rec
ords will show this, and we can refer
you to the sale in November two rears

Wlckcrshnni Dodging,
Washington, Feb. 11. Refusal
to submit to the house docu
ments explaining his order de
laying tho service of bench war
rants on John D. Archbold and
other Standard Oil officials un
der indictment in Texas, waa
made by Attorney-General Wlck
ersham today. He declared the
case is still pending. Wlcker
aham insisted that he delayed
the warrants only after a con
ference with Texas officials.
And There Is Certainly Plenty of
Smoke Orcr Rumored Moving of
Lnw and Medical Schools.
It Is being said by those professing
to know, that there Is now a move on
foot fathered by the officials of Wil
lamette unlvorslty to do away with all
of the professional departments of the
educational Institution and retain only
liberal arts and the usual studies in
the future.
It Is declared that this new system
Is necessary In order that the univer
sity may have the use of a $100,000 en
dowment offered by Mrs. Russell Sage,
of New York, to be turned over to the
local institution and used in the en
dowment fund providing that the am
ount goes to support nothing but pure
ly non-professional studies or arts. In
view of the fact that the college of
medicine, tho law school and the col
lege of music are all three viewed as
professional branches of the univer
sity, it will be neessacy Uj get rid of
them to comply' with tho provision In
Mrs. Sage's endowment offer.
To bring about a suitable arrange
ment whereby the barriers to Mrs
Sago's offer cuff be eliminated, it Is
said that the state will bo asked to
purchase the professional colleges, or
one at least, for the sum of $100,000,
thus giving to tho endowment fund,
with Mrs. Sage's gift, $200,000.
According to the statements over-
hoard and coming from law school stu
dents yesterday, certain Portland par
tics are encouraging v the Willamette
university authorities In the rumored
move to dispose of tho professional de
partments in tho hope of centralizing
the most important medical college In
the state In the metropolis. It was
alBo declared that Portland is after
Salem's law department This plan
would be a likely one, say the stu
dents, for the reason the Unlvorslty of
Oregon law school Is located In Port
land and In the event the state accept
ed an offer to buy the Salem branch,
the department would be combined
with the U. of O. school.
Change Will Be Fought.
Through tho efforts of Salem people
the fine new medical college was erect
ed for Willamette university, and In
the event any attempt Is made to dis
pose of It It will most likely be op
posed vigorously by both local physi
cians and the public in general.
The lawyers and law students con
tend, that Inasmuch as the law library
and the most complete one In the state
and the supreme court are located In
Salem, the law school should remain
In Salem oven If the state does decide
to purchase the department, and any
attempt to discontinue it will be met
with a big remonstrance.
There is very little question In the
minds of several interviewed yester
day who aro Interested In the profes-

not groan under their load, but from

Now Just imagine that bill of fare,

Instead of sugar, and never know the
difference, and you can get a faint
Idea of the way that "hungry horde"
stored away the material to satisfy
some keen-edged appetites that were
"made in Oregon," too, by the moun

Toastmaster D'Arcy hurried the
speech-making along, limiting talks to
five minutes, and there were surely
some good booster speeches made,
even with that brief time limit
Judge McBrlde, the "nestor of the
Oregon bar" spoke first and humor
ously pointed out that he was a "made
In Oregon" product, and he pointed out
lots of other things, too.
Then followed In quick order a talk
by Senator Moser, and a "meaty" one
by Senator Ira Smith who made Coos

Then Mrs. Hinges in splendid voice
sang "In Grand Old Oregon," and sot

Single Term Killed.
.
' Washington. Feb. 11. The res-
olutlon of Senator Works of Cal-
ifornta, providing for a single
six-year presidential term was
killed today when the commit-
tee voted not to report any bill
at this session to lengthen or
change tho terra of presidents.
This action followed defeat of
Representative Clayton's motion
to amend the Works resolution
so as to make it effective in
1917.
FRIEDMANN TELLS
OF
He Does Not Give Up the Secret of
His Remedy, Bat Intimates the
Serum Is From Cold Blooded
Animals.
DNITIB FMBS UD1SCD WIS!.
Washington, Feb. 11. Translations
of Dr. Frederick Frledmann's state
ments regarding his new system of
treating tuberculosis, furnished to con
gress through Consul-Oeneral Thack
era at Berlin, have been completed by
the state department and tho complete
data procured, at the request of con
gress soon will be printed.
Dr. Frledmann's address did not give
the secret, of his new remedy, which
Is understood to be a serum derived
from cold-blooded knlmals. Accord
ing to the official reports, he will not
make this known until he Is prepared
to furnish it to physicians. In his de
scription of his search for a tubercu
losis sorum and the method of apply
ing his new remedy, which he said
had been tried on more than 1182 per
sons, Dr. Frledmann said ho discov
ered an "unvlrulent race of tubercles."
They were not then safe to use In man
but he succeeded aftor long experi
ment In complotMy" changing their
character.
Risk Is Removed.
Dangers of the bacilli becoming vi
rulent after bolng Injected Into the hu
man body were removed, Dr. Frled
mann said by long cultivation of tho
germs.
"Finally, I repeatedly Injected It Into
myself," he continued, "then Into adult
tuberculosis patients, then Into con
sumptive children and finally, when
the successful therapeutic results con
tinued to be confirmed (which was a
long time afterward), Into children by
way of prophylactic inoculation."
Dr. Frledmann did not enter Into a
description of his preparation in the
report which is to be published by
congress.
The preparation proved absolutely
harmless, even In large doses and
however applied " ha said. "The treat
ment consists of Intramuscular incor
poration, occurring once, twice or
three times, seldom oftener, and re
peated at long intervals. An Infiltrate
must form at the placo of Injection;
tills Infiltrate should be from the size
of a walnut to that of a small apple,
and will gradually disappear In the
course of the next few weeks or
months. As long as this tissue exists
and during its gradual absorption, the
healing will go on.
Cures Are Described.
"Only if, and as long as tho Injected
substance Is completely absorbed and
remains In the body, do tho healing ef
forts appear most striking. As a rulo
thin occurs very soon and the healing
then progresses steadily. We often
see, under tho influence of a slnglo In

ONLY 11 MILES TO SAFETY
Endured Terrific Hardships and When
Near Camp Are Overwhelmed by
Flerco Blizzard.
London, Feb. 11. With death staring
him in the face, with no possible suc
cor at hand, Captain Robert F. Scott,
British polar explorer, who perished
after reaching his goal on January 18,
1912, wrote with his dying hands the
story of his quest Into the White Ant
arctic that all the world might know.
Found beside his stiffened corpse whon
rescue came tco late, Scott's Btory was
cabled horti today from Now Zealand
and given to the world under his la
conic title, "Mossago to the public."
Scott's PutheUc Story.
Word for word It reads:
"The causes of this disaster are not
due to faulty organization but to mis
fortune In all the rlBks that had to be
undertaken.
'First, the loss of my pony trans
port In March, 1911, obliged me to
start later than I had Intended and
obliged limits of stuff transported to
be narrowed.
"Second, the weather throughout the
outward Journey, especially a long
gale In 83 degrees south, stopped us,
and tho soft snow encountered In tho
lower reaches of Boardmore glacier
again reduced our pace.
'We fought those untoward events
with a will and conquered, but It nte
up our provision reserve. Every de
tail of food supplies clothing and de
pots made on tho Interior Ice shoot and
on that long stretch of 800 nillos to
the pole and back worked out to per
fection. The advance party would
have returned to tho glacier in fine
form and with a surplus of food but
for the astonishing failure of a man
wo had least expected to fail. Seaninn
i Evans was thought to be the strong
niiiii of the party and Boardinoro gla
cier Is not difficult In flno weather, but
on tho return trip wo did not get a
slnglo completely flno day and this,
with a Blck companion, enormously In
creased our difficulties.
Evans Bled First
"We got Into frightfully rouch Ice
and Evnns received concusnlou of tho
brain. He died a natural death but It
left us Is a Bhaken party with tho seu
son unduly advanced.
"But all tho facts above enumerat
ed were as nothing to tho Burprlso
awaiting us on the barrier. I main
tain our arrangements for returning
were quite adequato and that no ono
would have exacted the temperatures
and surface which we encountered at
this time of tho year. On tho summit",
In latitude 85 degrees to latitude 88 de
grees we had minus 20 to minus 30.
"On the barrier, In latitude 82.10, a
thousand feet lower we had minus 30
during the day and minus 47 at night
protty regularly with a continuous
hoavy wind during tho day marchofl.
Those circumstances came on very
suddenly and our wreck was cortaln'y
due to this sudden advent of severe
weather.
Some Terrible Months.

came through Buch months as we have
come through, and wo should have got
through despite the weather but for

by enabling said fire to properly clean
the southwest corner of block 33, In
tho city of Salem, and
WhoreaB, the said fire department
of the city of Salem responded to the
alarm with such promptness that said
fire was unable to accomplish any
good to the city of Salem, thorefore bo
It
Resolved, By tho common council
of tho city Salem that the chief of
said department bo publicly repri
manded for so promptly responding,
and be It further

lution, with a certificate of Its adop
