AT the last election two meritcricus
measures we're submitted % the yot-
ers FOR their adoption or rejection and
one Of them, the Port Of Astoria
bin, was adopted while the other the
bin for constructing bulkheads and
filling in the tide fats, was rejected,
There is some doubt as TO the legality
OF the adoption o t,he Port OF Astoria
bill owing to few days delay in adj
vertising il after the initiative petition
was filed and for thar reason would
recommend that its validity be iu.
dieially determined before any ex'
'pense is incurred under Il; and n
case il should prove void that spec
isl election be provided for at some
time during the year SO that Il as well
as the reclamation bill shorn Of its
Objectionable features may be re-
submitted to the voters,
Under the charter $2S0,0O0 is fixed
as the limit OF net Indebtedness and
no obligation can be lawfully incur
red for any purpose beyond this limit,
and accordingly it is urgently nsces-
sar yto exercise every pFecaution to
guard against an increase Of indebted
ness. The report Of the auditor and
police Judge shows that while the
gross indebtedness of the city has
been materially increased owing to
the city loaning its credit to property
owners on account OF installments
for street improvements, yet the net
indebtedness which is approximately
$lS7, ,4o&60 is not substantially in ex-
cess Of what il has been for several
years in the past
Your attention is called to state
ment showing the income and ex-
penses Of the city for the year just
closed from which il appears that the
expenses exceeded the income by
more than $1,000 the items OF which
are as follows:

TOTAL income

Total income ...."... .So2,23S.5O
That there was deficit last year Of
$1,000 is perhaps excusable on
account of the unforeseen ex-
penses and necessary expenditures re-
quried to more thoroughly equip the
fire and street departments, but un-
fortunately the tax levy already made
for the ensuing year is so small that
another deficit will inevitably occur
unless either additional revenues are
secured or the expenses Of the city
greatly reduced. 1t is TO be hoped
that such a condition will not again
occur and ] consider it incumbent
upon the common council to exercise
every precaution to guard against the
expenses exceeding the income one
single dollar4 Either provide for re-
ducing the expenses or else make pro-
visions to increase the revenues Of the
city to meet the expenses and it would
be wise to do both. The charter places
it within your power to license almost
every occupation and business con-
Quoted within the city and resort
should he had to an occupation tax
rather than face any deficit.
While the expenses Of the Fire De
partment have been quite heavy dur
ing the past year, much Of this has
resulted from repairing the two en-
gines and purchasing new combina-
ton chemical engine and hose wagon
and other apparatus and supplies
which has thoroughly equipped that
department SO that during the coming
year the expense Of maintaining i
should be greatly reduced

man Belland to the chair and took
the door. He said he would like TO
explain his idea Of the matter" The
council Is the sole judges Of the mat
tcr. The question has been settled
hy our supreme court in a similar
ease in Multnomah county. But II IS
possible that if this resolution is car
NED il may possibly shut out Mr.,
Karinen and settle it once for all IN
Mr.. Carney's favor now"
Insasmuch as it was the idea Of
the eouncil-at least most Of them
that Carney should be seated now
and 4 recount had to finally deter
mine the matter, there was some
doubt about the advisability Of adopt
ing the resolution as stated.
Councilman Fox moved for re-
count. but his motion was out Of or
der. because Of the resolution being
before the house. Councilman Lein-
enweber then moved that the Prael
resolution Be amended SO that It
would read to seat Carney now, and
10 have recount later. This carried.
Thereupon Mr.. Karinen for the first
sime gave up his seat to Mr. Carney
and escorted him to the chair.
Councilman Leinenweber then
moved for a recount at 7:30 o'clock
last night Belland wanted it at ,
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Attorney Fulton again tried to
dear the atmosphere, He called at
tention to the provision in the char
ter which makes the council the sole
iudges Of the contest, but he also
called attention to this character
provision also:
Section 26-All laws Of the state
regulating and governing general
elections, and proceedings, and mat
tiers incident thereto, shall apply to
and govern elections under this act,
except as herein otherwise provided.
=.
That IS, while the council is the
sole judge, yet the charter has pro-
vided no method Of procedure for 4
contest Of this nature, and this sec
ton 26 clearly states that when no
procedure is provided for, then the
state laws and procedures shall apply
as to the method Of holding the con-
test. Mr.. Fulton said that this was
so plain that it needed no elucidation,
and that under it one thing Mr..
Karinen would have to do would be
to serve notice Of the contest upon
Mr.. Carney, just as summons is
served, namely, by the sheriff. This
was the same point the city attorney
had touched upon.
But despite the advice Of Attorney
Fulton, and Of the remark in the an
nual message of the city attorney
and of remark made few minute:
before BY Mayor Smith-all lawyers
the council apparently wasn't very
much impressed, and most OF then
didn't seem to care a hang about the
legal advice that had been showereC

 of his platform and the promises repeatedly made in public speech es on his recent trip through the Territory. But his known rev. erence for the Constitution will not permit him to exceed pro- per bounds in dealing with Congress. If he would use the aggressive and impeachable methods in our favor that MT. Roosevelt employed in forcing joint Statehood on us, success would be certain. But he won't do it. Nor indeed would he be justified in doing it.
 If the President confines him. self, as he doubtless will and should, to recommending in his message to Congress, the pas sage of of the Statehood bill, we will find that Aldrich, Frye, Hale, Lodge, Nelson and other senators of long service will use their own judgment and do just exactly as they please. Platform pledges are too soon forgotten.
 Let us however indulge in the hope that the justice so long de- ferred may soon reach us. Let us hope that the few remaining he roes who laid with brave hands the foundation so strong, may live to see reared thereon the glorious fabric of a mighty State, forever preserving equality of rights, dispensing justice, and guaranteeing to all within her the manifold blessings of a free and independent commonwealth.

BIG GAME FOR THE DAY OF
 THANKS

WInslow will be treated to another game of football on Thanksgiving. Owing to unfa- vorable weather conditions Will Hams will play here on that date. The management hopes to have a large attendance for the game from the local lovers of clean sport, as there will be quite a large representation from Will Hams to root for their boys. There is nothing that contributes to good snappy game as en- thusiastic roofing so turn out and lend the locals a hand.
 Coach King promises to have the game played as open in style as possible, thus making it a vast deal more spectacular than the last game played here. Will Hams was defeated before on straight football and this tina the locals will bring into service number of new plays which they have been saving for the Thanksgiving game. The boys have been practicing faithfully and have the new formations down to perfection and Winslow will see duplicated on the field Thanksgiving at least seven of Princeton's this seasons plays, invented and perfected for use against Yale.
 Mgr. Code hopes that Wins low will turn out in force and assures all his patrons of ample recompense for their support

Winslow News Notes
 From The Winslow Mail
J. BRYAN SPEAKS IN
 WINSLOW

Last Wednesday evening, ad- dressing a good sized audience at the Opera House, William Jennings Bryan delivered his well known lecture entitled-"P "Prince of Peace" and judging from the applause with which his efforts were greeted the admirers of the Nebraskan deemed 1t a literary treat seldom provided in this city.
 As a preface to his remarks MT. Bryan stated that as he grows older, the conviction is forced upon him that religion is the most paramount subject that confronts us today, and expressed the hope that his words might result in the betterment to al least some of his hearers.
 Launching into his subject and touching on the skepticism that prevails in our day, especially among our younger men "who consider it smart to profess un- belief" he referred to the famous agnostic by saying, II cannot understand why Mir. Ingersol devoted his efforts to tearing down living faith in the hearts of the people and setting up in it's stead the cold and empty "I do not know"
 The subject of Evolution was next considered and brought from the lecturer the humorous state rnent- "I cannot accept the Dan- winian Theory, at least to the extent of it's followers. But Pm not going to argue with them. If they find satisfaction or pleas ure in accepting a monkey an cestry, I should be the last one to deprive them of such comfort. 1 would have 1t distinctly under stood however that I object to being included among the pro- geny," which view we are remind ed is m accord with the Irishman who preferred to picture his an- cestors as Kings in Tara's Halls than as hanging by their tails to the limb of a tree.
 The subject received a master ful, presentation and elicited warm applause throughout.
 An informal reception followed the lecture and the crowd which was representative ofall political and religious beliefs availed it's elf of the opportunity to feel the hearty handclasp of the erst- while banner.bearer of Demo- cracy.

Old Folks ofthe Snowflake Stake of the L. D. $. Church were en- tertained by the students of the Academy. There was but one member present who d1d not live iri Snowflake.
 The officers of the Student Body had taken the matter in hand and had appointed con- mittees to oversee the work.
 The Preparatory boys provid- ed teams and buggies to convey the old folks to the Academy Building, and by eleven o'clock they were all assembled. Girls from the first year class helped them up thu steps to the large assembly room.
 A program was rendered by the students, which was as fol lows:
 Singing, by Academy Choir.

 At 1:3O dinner. prepared by the Domestic Science Class was served. This was one of the finest banquets ever served il Snowflake. All who were pres ent both old and young had what they wanted to eat and al most everything that the most exacting could wish for was there.
 After dinner the boys enter tained those who were interested by high jumping, broad jumping and pole-vaulting.
 A rocking chair was given to Paul Smith, as being the oldest member present. Umbrellas wele given to the gentlemen and shawls to the ladies who were over seventy years old.
 After 4 o'clock the old folks were driven down to the Basket Ball grounds, where a most in teresting game was played by members of the school.
 In 7 o'clock in the evening an- other meeting was held in the assembly room, where a musical and literary program was ren- dered.
 The old folks were again taken to their homes in buggies, to re- member the happy day just spent with the boys and girls in the Academy. It was a time never to be forgotten, though they were tired, they gave their hearty thanks to all who helped to make the day pleasant for them.
 May we as students. have an- other chance to honor our old folks next year.

down. Rouse hit one which Grodnick
was unable to pull down and Hill
slapped one to left. With two men
on Dang slapped one to center field
for two bases. Reichle was barely
able to touch the ball as it carromed
from his glove, Hildebrand picking it
up and stated the relay which cut
Hill off at the plate.
Homer For Miller.
In the fourth inning Miller picked
out a beauty and sent it to far left
center, which he stretched into a
home run by the fastest base running
seen on the local diamonds for some
time. He slid in home on close
play and was safe.
With this lead it looked as If the
Indians would carry off the game, but
the visitors came back In the seventh
and again tied things up. Mertens
singled, stole second. and came home
on Anderson's three-bagger.
In the ninth the disastrous work
came. Bramble started Things niin-
self by passing Cavanaugh and this
seemed to take the edge off his work.
Undertook singled to right and Mer-
tens singled to left, Cavanaugh scor-
ing on the second hit. Anderson
struck out and Littlejohn hit slow
one to Bramble. The ball was fielded
home quickly, but Croft dropped the
ball, and the runner was safe with
the second score. Bennett was at the
bat and Mertens tried to come home
on the squeeze, but Bennett missed
the ball and Jack was caught. Ben
nett was caught at the plate on
Rouse's hit after stealing second.
In the three last innings Rouse did
not allow a Keokuk batter to reach
first base.
