man Farr. Ralph H. Schneeloch.
of Clark, Kendall & Co., a bond
company of Portland, appeared
and showed how the city could
save almost $4,000 a year by bond
ing to take up the warrant in
debtedness. The city has now
about $4,000 ia outstanding
warrants which draws interest
at the rate of six per cent and
also has a bonded Indebtedness
which has been due for several
years and which draws eight per
cent. Mr.. Schneeloch offered to
buy bonds of the city to TIE
amount necessary to take up the
warrant Indebtedness and the
eight per cent bonds at a figure
slightly less than five and one
half per cent. The council re-
fused to sign Mr.. Schneeloch's s
contract but advised him that a
special election will be called to
allow the taxpayers to express
their wishes in this matter. This
election will probably be he'll in

The total value Of the 1916
shipments, not including the emf
grant cars. is approximately
si.5l3.500. The fact that less
wheat was shipped last year than
IN 1915 is not due to any lack Of
this grain for the Condor ware.
houses are full and much yet to
be hauled. The farmers are
holding their wheat. Had they
sold earlier the wheat shipments
for 1916 would have far exceed.
ed those of 1915. In spite Of this
1916 has been the record year
for Gillian county as far as ship

CHANCELLOR LAW SAYS
ENGLAND AT DISADVANTAGE

LONDON, Aug. 80, lBy MdD.-
Warming that Great Britain could not
go on spending money at the present
rate without serious disadvantages,
was given recently i'm the House of
Commons by Andrew Bonar Law
Chancellor of the ExcheQuer The dis
advantage. he said, would be realized
more completely when the war was
over than now. So long as the gov
eminent was raising funds for prose
cution OF the war by loans, Mr.. Law
told the House of Commons, the couu-
try was living I'm q false atmosphere.
The position after the end of the war
he predicted, would require all the
skill and ability which the govern
ment could exercise. He added that
ne would like to have raised % larger
proportion OF the war expenditures by
revenues, but he pointed out the dam
gers of excessive taxation.
The government at present is dnanc-
ing the war, aside from aid received
from the United States. by use of
short term eIche0uer bonds and treas
ury bills. The latter are mounting
rapidly and about 100000 pounds
sterling OF them are outstanding.
