THE CITY FINANCES
II. w. Mason on the Jones
Financial Statement
of Aberdeen.

EDITOR HERALD:
An article which caused to be pub
lished in the Bulletin. in which I called
in question the correctness of the pub
lshed financial statement Of Councilman
+. f. Jones, chairman OF the finance
committee, has elected from that gentle.
man a reply, published in the Bulletin
February %.
In his reply Mr.. Jones practically adj
mits that my criticism of his report was
just and correct, for he says, after com
pairing city property to "fxtures": "Our
contention is that part OF the fixtures OF
the city should be sold and the proceeds
used to pay in part the debt due on. the
balance"
l heartily indorse this position, and
if our city council and citizens had real
lied the situation some months since
and disposed of some Of the ornamental
fixtures" as Mr.. Jones facetiously de.
dominates them, the city would not now
be found with reproductive and de-
preciating property on hand and heavy
debt accommodating.
When tinancier finds it necessary to
raise funds, he always has two methods
and only two, by which he can do so
either to borrow the funds or to convert
ornamental fixtures" into cash.
1t is condition and not theory thai
confronts this city, and unless the finance
committee can see their way clearly te
raise funds sufficient for the necessary
expenditures Of the year, from the reve
nues OF the city, which are chiefly derived
from three sources, viz: taxation, water
rent and licenses, then it becomes neces.
sary to do one Of two things, BUY OF
SELL.
Mr.. Jones says: owe think we were
justified in making identically the state
ment that was made" challenge Mr.
Jones to show that his statement is cor.
rect, or to show that any OF the items
listed in my reply as assets" Of the city
are not proper items to be so listed.
Whether all the items are available o,
not at the present time has no weight in
this argument, as the report under dis
cussion did not say available assets, y
but purported to include all assets of the
city.
still rnantain that the report is vel
calculated to and does show a deplorable
condition OF city affairs, and is erroneous
and misleading, and unworthy the hones
effort Of good citizen of Aberdeen, ant
that we only look for such garbled litera
ture to eminate from a demagogue
seeking political preferment at the hands
OF an ignorant rabble.
II have too good an opinion OF the in
telligence OF the "tax payers" OF Aber
deem to believe that they will indorse
that statement. l. w. MASON.

DAVE KERR KILLED
STORM AT AGENCY CAUSES
DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.
Mrs. Kesr's Death Expected. Cyclone Struck
Indian Village at Midnight Sunday. Much
Damage Done to Settlers.

CoPALIs, Feb. %, 19O4.-The storm on
North beach on Sunday evening seems
to have reached the climax of fury al
the Quinalt agency at about ~ O'Clock
that night.
Houses belonging to Johnnie Shale,
Harry Shale, Gilbert Sodomish, Hob
Williams and the Tomanowis church,
and house belonging to old Mrs. Wing,
the mother of Mrs. Harry shale,
were all destroyed. In the house
belonging to Harry Shale were
Hungerford Parsons, a preacher, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Dave Kerr. After the
storm it was found that Mr.. and Mrs.
Kerr were missing, and a search for
them resulted in finding them covered
with debris. Mr.. Kerr had evidently
been struck by falling timbe's as he was
dead when found. Mrs. Kerr was un
conscious and had not recovered con-
sciousness when the messenger left at
$3.50 Monday morning, and is not ex
pected to live.
Old man Shale, father of Harry and
Johnnie, was badly hurt by falling
timbers and is not expected to live.
Parsons, the preacher, had his collar
bone broken.
Johnnie Shale's home was picked up
bodily and carried fifty rods. Barns in
all directions are askew and many of
the Agency buildings were unroofed.
The storm appeared to be in the nature
of cyclone and blew passage fifty or
sixty feet wide through the thickly built
portion of the Agency. There was a
very severe thunder storm all of Sunday
night along the beach from Damon's to
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
