MANY COMPANIES SCRAMBLE FOR BONDS

said that IL per cent of the $6,7a0, 9eO
of assessed valuation of city properly
which was allowed by law without the
consent of the voters would not be
exceeded by the proposed issue if there
were no other Indebtedness But the
city was already in debt $211.000 ex-
elusive of water bonds and special as
sessments. The law allowed the de-
duction from this of uncOllected taxes
on hand but not the deduction of real
estate. Without this the city would
still have a net debt of $1S0.000.
But by a vote of the tax payers
) per cent of the assessed valuation
could be borrowed by bonds. This
would allow $150,000 more to be issued
It was far better according to the
bidding representative to reject all
bids now and start right than to learn
in five or six weeks from now when
the attorney for the successful bidder
had examined the bids that the whole
proceeding was illegal
The question of having the citizens
vote on $4,000 funding bonds in addi-
ton to the city hall and fire station
issue was raised by Councilman Kirk
man of the finance committee. He eX-
planned the city was now carrying a
very large amount of warrant indebt
edness and that this could be carried
better and cheaper in the form of
bonds. 1t was decided the whole mat
ter should be considered in a commit
tee of the whole meeting tomorrow
at tarpoOp Finally if WAS decided this
should be changed to an Executive
session" as the public would be inter-
ested in hearing the question discussed
and finally as a special mark of con-
descension on the part of the council

, it was decided that reporters should

H. H. Turner of the Baker Bower
bank, at the request of the council.
made short talk on the funding ques-
ton. He explained there were now
S122,0OO in loose warrants out which
was largely in excess of the amount
allowed by law. The Baker-Boyer
bank was now the only bank in the
city taking up the warrants but it
was difficult to carry such an amount
of securities at 5 per cent in farming
community like this. He explained
the bank was not in the least afraid
the city of Walla Walla would repudi-
ate any of its warrants although it
was technically over the amount al
lowed now but conditions might arise
in the event OF money stringency over
the country might prevent it from be-
ing wise for a bank to take warrants
under present conditions. Also the
city is growing now and with improve
ments which might be expected AMI
ought to be made for years to come
there was no prospect of any great re-
duction in the floating debt and this
debt might become a menace to the
credit of the city.
If part of this debt should be re-
funded it would accomplish two good
results; first it would turn that much
eastern capital loose in the city and
second it would relieve the financial
condition immensely as it would be
doubtful if any bank would want u
take warrants largely in excess of the
limit allowed.
He recommended an issue of $125.-
600 in funding bonds

After opening nine sealed bids made
by various bonding concerns on the
bonds for the construction of new
city hall and fire station the city coun-
Gil at its meeting last night decided
the bonds could not be legally issued
without submitting the question to the
people at a special election and re-
jected all the bids.
The municipal paters also instructed
the city attorney to prepare forthwith
an ordinance authorizing special
election and to bring it to a special
meeting of the council next Thursday
evening
The failure to accept bids was not

NEVADA EDITORS
FORM ASSOCIATION
i EAT GATHERING OF NEWS.
PAPER MEN FROM ALL
PARTS OF STATE.

CARSON, Feb. 21.-The Meeting
Of the editors and publisher of the
state of Nevada in this city Sunday
and Monday resulted in the forming
of the Nevada Editorial Association
with a membership of twenty-five
persons and the assurance that with
in few days practically all the
newspaper proprietors of the state
will join the association. Reporters
and others employed on papers are
admitted to the organization as as
soeiate members.
The meeting which began here
Sunday morning is said by those old
in the path of 'rectitude" to have
been the greatest gathering of
scribes ever held in Nevada. Twenty
one papers were represented at the
meeting and from the sounding of
the gavel, shortly after the arrival
of the train, until the closing busi-
ness session of the organization at
the Sagebrush Club, the press visi-
tors were busy. When it was not
business meeting it was pleasure
and the jolly scribes left the city
assuring the local people of a quick
return to share the hospitality and
bask in the graces of Carsonites.
The acme of the entertainment
rendered the visitors was the ban
quet at the Arlington Hotel on Sun
day evening, about one hundred
plates being laid. The diners in
cluded state officials, legislators
prominent Carsonites and the fairest
crowd of ladies that one ever gazec
upon. Judge Norcross, of the sl
preme bench, presided as toastmas
ter and made the speech of welcome
to the visitors.
Among other persons responding
to toasts at the banquet were H. A
McCraney, editor of the Manhattan
News; Judge James G. Sweeney, Edi
tor Branson, of the Tonopah Sun
Judge L. o. Ray, of Nye County
Speaker Skaggs, of Elko; E. v. Buel
Nevada's cartoonist; Miss Anne Mar
tin and Sam Davis.
The banquet tables were beauti
fully decorated with carnations an,
trails of smilax and every detail wa
cleverly worked out by the hote
people in the manner of service. TIL
banquet was a success in every par
, ticular.
The association considered severa

matters and took action in several
instances. Among others a resolu-
tion was passed providing that the
legislative committee see that a reso-
luton was introduced in the Nevada
legislature favoring adding of the
counties of Modoc, Lasson, Plumas,
Mono and other counties east of the
Sierra in California to Nevada. A
resolution was also passed favoring
legislation on the railroad question
which would give relief to the state
of Nevada.
The question of foreign and legal
advertising was also considered and
it was unanimously decided that as
soon as practicable the association
would make arrangements to handle
these matters for the mutual benefit
of the members.
The membership fee was placed at
81, with annual dues at 50. Asso-
ciate members will pay SO initiation
fee.

organization: President Fl. A. Nc

Thaw admitted that in 1908, after
her return from Europe. she spent
the night at Thaw's apartments in

he and she occupied connecting
apartments at the hotel. Mrs. Thaw
admitted that the champagne which

rored bed room was no more bitter
than other champagne she drank.
She denied that she intended for the
Jury to assume otherwise. Mrs.

most damaging statement to the de-

had showed her copies of cablegrams

him to use his influence with certain

The case has progressed TO a point
where the defendant has been almost
lost sight Of The girl-like wife Is
the figure about whom the storm
lashes. She 1t is whose life Is being
searched out and being held up to
scorn by the prosecution. When Je-
rome was faying Mrs. Thaw with
questions about her relations with
White, demanding every detail, and
while bitter tears were yelling to
her eyes, two newspaper women ac'
eustomed to the harsh scenes of life
hastily left the court room. At last
the prosecutor himself relentet
somewhat and suggested that pro

After bringing out that her rela
tions with White continued for som'
