BEGIN new YEAR
ON CASH BASIS
City of Lewiston Will
Soon Have $4,000
on Deposit

The city of Lewiston will soon be
placed on cash basis.
The outstanding Indebtedness con-
tracted since the bond issue was made
is about $4,000 and the cash availa-
BILE now on deposit in the bank is prac-
tlcally equal to that amount but In
addition to this the city will soon re-
ceive from the tax collector the money
for this years taxes.
The total levy was about $39. 900 and
while 1t Is not exactly known what part
of this went delinquent the estimate is
that the city will receive from Mr.
Daggett somewhere between $4,000
and 100000. With all warrants paid by
the cash now on deposit the city will
have balance Of about $4,000 to
start in the business Of the new year
on cash basis.
The current expense of the city gov
ernment is practically $4,000 month
and the revenues from licenses and
fines $4,000. 1t will be seen then If the
delinquent taxes are reasonably we'll
paid up. that the city will be able to
pay cash for it's warrants throughout
the year.
LAS soon as the present bond busi-
ness is taken care Of" said Treasurer
Thompson today, II will begin calling
in the outstanding warrants that have
been issued since the bonds We're sold.
and will redeem them all as fast as
can get to them. The city can then
proceed on cash basis and the war
rants will be paid as soon as issued"

WILL DISCUSS
PROPOSED SEWER
Next Monday Nights Council Meeting
Will Be Given to This Subject.

An adjourned meeting of the coun-
ell will be held Friday night to dis
pose of the general business and clear
the boards for the meeting of Monday
night, which will be given over wholly
to the conference over the down town
sewer question. Engineers Graves and
Miller have both signified their inten-
ton of being present and will together
go over and discuss the plans for con-
struction.
"The only difference i'm the esti-
mates" said Clerk Nickerson this
morning, lis the question of capacity.
Engineer Graves looks to the future
and maintains that 36-inch sewer
will more nearly meet Lewiston's needs
and that the difference between the
cost Of constructing that and the "a
inch sewer as recommended in the re-
mort of Engineer Miller is only $4,000,
and the money will be well expended
Mr.. Graves even argues that 4s-inch
trunk line will be none too large Tor
the demands that will be made upon
II a few years hence"

SUIT TO HOLD
Mine IN NOME
w. p. Bounds 10 Anxious to Get to
Alaska-late News from His
Brother.

w. p. Bounds was in Lewiston today,
and will leave this afternoon for his
home at Genessee. Mr.. Bounds has
just returned from Seattle. where he
went attempting to get to Nome, where
he has valuable mining property under
dispute.
Mr.. Bounds was very anxious to get
into Nome, on account of word he had
received from there concerning dis
pute over his property. The claim Is
known as the Eko. Since pay dirt has
been struck in the claim, the smallest
pan goes as high as $S in free gold. and
some of the pans run as high as $50.
AS soon as ii was discovered In
Alaska that they had such a valuable
claim. an effort was made to take 1t
from the Bounds brothers. A suit was
started, and the two principal contest
ants. who We're r. Shangnessey and a
brother of Mr. Bounds, Homer Bounds.
met on the street and lively fight en-
sued in which Shangnessey was killed.
and several We're seriously injured.
Mr.. Bounds has had rather recent
news from his brother and thinks he
is not seriously injured. He believes
his title Is absolutely good, and will go
TO Nome by the first boat.

STILL TALK ON
SANT0 DOMINGO
The President Does Not
Want to Force Pol.
icy on Congress

Special to Evening Teller.
Washington. Jan. 9.-There has been
talk enough already against the santo
Domingo treaty in both houses of
congress and there will OF course be
more when that body gets down to
work next week. But 1t is understood
that the administration has already
had heart to heart talks with a num-
ber of prominent senators and will
have more before the treaty comes to
vote.
The friends Of the president say that
ne does not wish to force his Santo
Domingo policy on congress. but In the
absence OF congress. he met very
difficult situation the best he could.
If any one else has a better plan to
offer. he will be willing to accept 1t.
Santo Domingo was threatened with
outside interference and the threat
would have become a reality had not
his government stepped In and under
taken to straighten out the affairs OF
the little republic as it did. To be sure
the outbreak of the revolution put this
government In a somewhat uncomfor-
table position. but II is pointed out that
the custom houses are still safe In
American hands and 1t Is not likely
that the revolution can get very far
without them for lack of funds.

ing In the decrease of the public debt

increase In the gold production of the

director of the mint. The gold increase
over 1904 was little short OF $4,000.
600. while there was an Increase o.
about 1000, 900 ounces I'm silver. The
