Keller will be a-tvea a captaincy eventually even If It becomes necessary to oust one of the captains now In the department to make a place for him. It Is Incumbent on the administra tion Immediately to take some action In Keller's rase, Under the terms of an . ordinance, the passage of which was requested by Mayor Rushlight.

It Is known that Mayor Kushltght and Keller's friends have been employing every Imaginable means to sidetrack tiergeant Kiley and I'atrolmen Circle and Inakeep, who. In the test, received better grades than Keller, who stood eighth In the eligible ltt furnished by that examination. Three of the ellglbles who stood ' ahead of Keller, stepped asjde. but Riley. Circle and Inskeep were not so obliging. However, with the excep tion -f Riley, those ellglbles who stood In the wsy of Keller, It Is understood, were finally Induced to get out of the wsy. It Is understood Circle will be given the clerkship In the detective depart ment wclle Inskeep la slated for a ser- sreaatcy on tne nay reiier. T neee Dans were especially tempting, particularly In view of the fact that the ellglbles had every reason to believe that they would Bever be appointed to the ca p- lalncy. Riley aaU by Caaa. Sergeant Riley, first on the eligible llt Is sal J to have remained obstinate. Jle apparently had the nerve to defy the administration and stood on his lights. Associated with Keller's reelg- catlon Is the rumor that Kiley will be made Captain to succeed Keller. AlthouKh forced to back down In bis first effort to give Keller a Captaincy. Mayor Rushlight, according to thoee who know something about the police department, will not abandon his de termination to reward Keller. With Riley.

Keller la now Included among the next three ellglbles from whom the selection will be made to fill the next vacancy as Captain of police. It la said that Mayor Rushlight may see to It that a vacancy ts created In that rank. Kor some time Mayor Rushlight and a faction within the police) department, headed by Keller, have been trying to ret Captain Bailey s scalp. However. it the conspirators have accumulated any damaging evidence against him they have not seen fit to us It. Ef forts. It Is said, are now being made by the same forces to discredit Bailey and his work In the department. That Is believed to have been thereat purpoee. behind the raid on a Chinese rambling den Saturday night, led by Keller and a detail of patrolmen from the second night relief. This raid was pulled oft from detective headquarters under Keller s direction, and during the time Captain Kalley and the men of the first relief were on duty. What Is more, the raid waa organised and con ducted Independently of Bailey, who was not so much as consulted, although it the time he waa the officer In charge of the station. Police Commissioner Coffey aald last night that the orders posted at police headquarters t&rurd.y and very aud Seniy withdrawn would be posted In amended form, probably tomorrow. ThM orders do not contemplate the reduction tn rank of any of the men." said Mr. Coffey, laat night. "They are merely the usual orders, which will be posted monthly during the present ad ministration. They provide for changing- the shifts, the Idea being to give every man tn the department an oppor tunity to work on the different reliefs.

Parker, a prosperous ranch er of Polk County, who resides near West Salem, prides himself on having what he believes to be one of the largest ginseng roots ever grown In the Northwest. This root weighs Just a pound In the tenth year of Its growth. It Is considered exceptionally well developed and Its growth Is uni form snd delicate. Mr. Parker has one-fifth of an acre of ginseng under cover, this being probably one of the largest patches In the valley. He esti mates that his patch of ginseng Is worth 1-1000. "There hu been much wild talk of ginseng, and many fabulous prices have been demanded aa .well as received for this valu able Chinese root. Ginseng cul ture, properly conducted, may be exceedingly profitable In Oregon, as I find It to be. But the de mands, which have been made In many Instances, are way out of eight. -My roots. will sell for $15 a hundred In thousand lots, which I believe to be an equitable value.

"If the story of Portland and the Pacific Northwest could be presented to Eastsrn people in the way that would make them realise the wonders, the magnificence, the opportunities of this section, they would stampede in an effort to get here." declared J. K. Kathrens, representing the H. E. Leeon advertising agency of New Tork. after concluding a two days' visit In the city last night. Mr. Kathrens handles all the ad vertising for the New Tork Central Railway system, and Is -in the North west now on a mission for the Chicago, Milwaukee A I'uget Sound line that will result In an extensive advertising campaign in the Eastern newspapers and magazines In which the advantages of Oregon and Its nerghuorlng states will be fully presented. "There are more openings here for the man of every place and means than In any other place In the world," he said. "The campaign to attract people hither should be continued. What this country needs more than anything else Is people people with money and ex perience to go on to the farms. They should have enough money when they come here to carry them along for a year the first year on their farms. The country is eo new eo vast that there la a fortune here for everybody. He Would Tell Everybody. "It Is my aim. my desire, to find some way of telling the people back East of the beautiful climate, the beau tiful country and the beautiful happy homes that you have out here. No where else In the world Is there -anything like It. The people of the West are the most broadmlnded. the most Intelligent In the country. They know more about the country than do the people In the East. They know more atioiit the East than the people of the East themselves know about it." Mr. Ksthrens had the provincialism of a certain clues of Easterners well Illustrated to him on his visit to -Montana a few weeks ago. He stayed at the home of a prominent merchant and ranch owner, whose daughter had been attending- one of tne schools near Bos ton. When she entered the school one of the Instructors said to the young woman In a very patronizing manner: "You know that we always Jower the standard of our school when we admit a Western girl." They bad only one other Western girl at the school. She was from Chicago. The Montana lass told the authorities that "there are other schools." and she'll not return to the Institution. AU Northwest Advertised, The advertising camnalgn about to be Inaugurated by the Milwaukee sys tem through Mr. Kathrens' agency will be for the benefit of the entire North west. "When you plant a man In Mon tana. In Idaho, In Washington or In Oregon." he said, "you help the entire Northwestern country. The trade that that man will develop naturally will flow to the cities on the Coast. The whole territory out here Vs benefited. "We want tourists to come here as well as settlers, for when a tourist goes bsck home he Is bound to talk f bout this country. He can't help say ng something good about it- If he talks mean about It he Is not the kind of a man you want. No one else will want him. I assure you." Mr. Kathrens declares that the only unfortunate clrcumetance that he has found on his present trip Is the atti tude the people of Tacoma take toward the name of Mount Rainier. Tacomana Insist that the hyphenated name Ralnler-Tacoma shall be applied. The Government has named the mountain Rainier and has set out a park of 2.000.000 acres around It. Railroads Are Itasnpered. The railroads are afraid to advertise this wonderful scenic asset, because they are afraid that If they call the mountsin by Its real and proper name they will give offense to Tacomana They can't hyphenate the name, be cause It will be contrary to the appella tion applied by the Government. Con sequently the Northwest annually loses thousands of opportunities for effective advertising. Mr. Kathrens had not been In Port land for ten years before his recent arrival. He marveled at the wonderful changes and Improvements that have taken place, declaring that his observa tions confirmed the Impreeslons gener ally held throughout the East that Portland Is one of the most substan tial cities In the country.
