A long list of subscribers today
sweiled by s502.50 the total for the
Til Taylor memorial. For the past
several days the average has been
$500 or better and the committee here
has no doubt that most of the amount
desired will be raised by the end of
the Roundup.
Included in the subscriptions was q
check for $50 from DIR. and Mrs. T..
NJ. Henderson. formerly Pendleton-

They sent their subscription to the
East oregonian. together with short
tribute to the late sheriff. The mon

containing 1921, bringing that city's
total to $1136. Several lists filled in

Information received here indicates
there is some danger the measure
might be adopted by the people
through a misunderstanding of the
facts. This causes worry to borrow
ers for the reason passage of the bill
would drive money out of the state
and make it impossible for a man to
borrow money in oregon or renew OBJ
legation when it fell due.

Knows Democratic status.

When il was suggested to Governor
Cox there had been charges that the
democratic fund also needed looking
into. ne said what happened before
he boarded the democratic campaign
ship July he knew nothing of. What
appened and will happen since that
date. he does knew more about.
IT may say. however, that when !
did board the ship I found a deficit
there was not any money" he added.
Cox declared he predicted year ago
at Annapolis that the republican pae-
ty would go back to the days of Mark
Hanna in financing their campaign
this year.
Democratic leaders are confident
that Cox wrecked the financial plans
of the republicans, Chairman of the
Democratic Committee White said
when he met the governor. Impoet-
ant conferences will be held with Cox
and national leaders during the trip
to New Haven and the stay in New
York tomorrow and Sunday.

WATER DEPARTMENT
MAY ALTER SYSTEM
OF ADMINISTRATION
Recommendation is Made at
Special Meeting Following
Audit by Accountant and
Survey Will be Undertaken.

Recommendation for the installa-
ton of an entirely new clerical sys-
tenn in the administration of the city
water department were made at a
special meeting of the board last night
following completion of an audit of
the boards books by an accountant
representing Whitfield Whitc6mb Co.
of Portland.
1t was agreed between the board
and the accountant that the company
will make a survey of the system here,
without obligating the board in any
way, preparatory to offering a new
system of accounts and bookkeeping
to the board. The board. in the mean
time, will also. gather data to prepare
itself to accept the proposition when
offered, if deemed advisable.
Will Tabulate Property.
Tabulation of all the city property
of the department. together with a
survey of methods, is a part of the
plan. The board expects to prepare
by additions to the force and other
necessary steps, to accept the scystem
if satisfactory to both parties.

sharp upturn in the December. A
good deal of the buying was attribut-

buying ceased.
While there were export sales of

night, people in closest touch with the
situation said the demand was dis
tinctly less active. Canadian grain is
commencing to press for sale and at
lower prices than American. Read
