According TO the evening dailies
we erred in giving Portland's total
Indebtedness last week They
state that Il is triile less than 81
600, 600, or S25 for every man,
woman and child residing in that
city. Our Information came from
a source that we considered relia-
BILE, and when we noted that Port
land was begging her business men
10 purchase bonds which il seemed
no one else wanted, we were led TO
believe that the Indebtedness was
much higher than is admitted by
the dailies. II is not our purpose
10 misrepresent anything, and there
fore eheerfully make this statement.
Our impression remains, however,
that por,land's total Indebtedness
is vastly greater. We wrote the
city treasurer OF that city asking
for the total amount almost week
ago, but SO far he has refused to re-
ply. We believe the Indebtedness
OF the water department alone is
more than 1000, 900, and we
challenge any one to prove other
wise, despite the statement alleged
TO have eminated from the auditor.

Thomas Glover had a very mar
row escape from being captured by
a big bear while out in the wilds OF
the Washougal country last week
with several St. Johns nimrods.
He had wandered TO some little dis
tance from the party trying to cap
ture some frisky trout when he
heard a suspicious noise in the
bushes. From the sound produced
he was sure it was a bear of enor-
nous proportions, and having no
firearms with him and encumbered
by a heavy pack on his back, the
time he made in reaching the party
would have put TO shame the fleet
est foot racer that ever existed.
Upon investigation by the party the
noise Mr.. Glover heard was found
TO be caused by two saplings cross
ing each other and the action of the
wind caused them to vibrate back
and forth. As 10 the veracity of
the above we would refer you TO
r. Glovers companions.
