The city has an outstanding war
rant Indebtedness on the general
funds, $23,973.95 with additional
S70.25, from the water fund and $50
from the advertising fund. To this
may be added SS,333.05 from the
special funds, making total war
rant Indebtedness of S32,457.26.
The auditor also presents a state
ment of assets and liabilities. The
assets include equipment in the
hands of the head of each depart
ment, cash with the treasurer, value
of city buildings and parks. water
system, sewer system and the arte-
sian wells and at the auditors esti-
mates totals 1,O75,7 Street

in gand park improvements are not
listed above. The assessed valua-
tion of the entire city. which is on
a basis of one-third, was set at ST.
S52,15O.
City Balance is S227,O70.I4.
The Liabilities mentioned are the
warrants of $23,973.96, Hannah
creek water and special funds war
rants amounting to S3,431.66, old

While very definite and clear in
most of his figures, the auditor is
still rather hazy on the advertising
fund" This fund was made from
an appropriation of 81, 700 The tax
levy from which the receipts were
gained amounted to 81 ,75S.O7. The
auditor mentions as items of eXpen-
diture the salary of the director OF
publicity, $500; printing and adver-
tising, $211.25, and miscellaneous, ="
S567.6S. This last item is entirely
too large for such general terms,
and should be dissected.
The need of a larger appropria-
zion for the library fund is shown
by the report Heretofore, $1,000
was appropriated for the maintc-
nance of the library. The revenue to
supply this fund is gained by levy
of three-fOurths of a mill and all the
fines and costs of the police court.
The appropriation, however, is some
what smaller than the cash received,
but for 1912 was increased to $ 500.
In the 1913 budget the commission
ers have endeavored to not only
supply the library with necessary
running expenses, but to pay up its
back debts, for it has been gradually
falling farther and farther behind
each year. The tax levy has not been
increased, but the appropriation has
been enlarged to $4,000.
The auditors report is very vol
luminous. and is worth the study of
every citizen interested in the muni-
cipal finances.

The member of a union is the man
who pays his dues only when he is
forced to; usually comes to meetings
only when he has an ak to be
ground. He is the man that will al
ways say that the union has never
given him anything, as he would get
good wages il there never was un-
ion in existence. And he can not
see what the officers are doing with
the money. The above described
member is usually found in open
shop. Why? Because such man
does not remain a member unless he
is forced to, and in an open shop he
permits his dues to lapse and is soon
expelled. The union man is a very
different person He attends his
meetings regularly, takes part in the
debate that is in the interest of the
union. never permits himself to be
suspended, always ready to extend a
friendly hand or act to any brother
that may be in distress. You can't
find him in an open shop, because
he is a union man at heart. And to-
day the great labor movement is
carried on by the union men and not
by the so-called member of a union
The union man criticizes when criti-
cism is justified and fights for what
he thinks is right.-Amalgama

These are the questions which after
stirring up g wordy battle between
Prosecutor Alexander Delaney and
Attorney Jacob Klein over admissi0 n
of contradictory testimony in an ex-
tended session of the CITY court, were
finally decided In favor of the prisoner
Foster after adversely commenting
upon the credibtltty of several wit
nesses.
According to evidence the steamer
Fall River stopped here for less than
two hours on the night of January 23.
Petersen. was employed In unloading
cargo. A bog was dropped and the
attention of the first mate is said to
have been called to the occurrence. It
was alleged by the prosecution that
the mate had then assaulted Petersen
by beating and kicking him and later
having him thrown from the boat.
The arrests followed. 1t was further
fntimated by the prosecuting attorney
that such scenes are more or less reg
ular attempts to irnpeach the testi-
mony of witnesses for the defense
were holly contested by Attorney
Klein which led to repeated objec-

sault which taking place within the
hold of the boat and later kept in
