THE WORKING OREGON U KUN ttSUA. Ml X, 12 10 DESERVE3V0TE IS VOTERS' PUZZLE List of 93 Commission Aspir ants Scanned by Consci entious Citizens. INSTRUCTIONS ARE SOUGHT Interest Centers in Meeting of Com mittee of 100 Tonight Data on Various Candidates Eagerly Desired by Klectors. Portland people are busy trying to get a line on candidates who aspire for office under the commission charter, which takes effect July 1. How to center the vfftes of the good citizens on the proper aspirants is the question that is agitating the electorate. Never has there been such -intense interest in an election as there is in that which is scheduled to take place June 2. when the city's first commission will be chosen. Great interest centers in the meeting of the committee cf 100 citizens, sched uled for tonight, in the new Lincoln High School, when reports of various committees are looked for. With a total of 93 candidates in the field, many obstacles present them selves to the voters who are to be called upon to select only six. Al ready, cliques are being formed with the object in view of causing certain support to be centered upon special candidates, with the purpose of single shotting" them and making no second or third choice for others on the bal lot. Quite a- number of candidates are sending the word along the line to their friends to vote for this or that candidate or candidates for first choice and to cast no second or third choice votes at all. 'in the hope that their special candidate or candidates will pull through. None of these scheming ones, however, are antici pating that there will be no second or third-choice votes: on the contrary, they are expecting a large number of second and third-choice votes, but they hope that these will favor them. Publication of the records of candi dates will, it Is conceded, eliminate quite a number of the candidates. It Is known that many of them will not ap pear before the public when their records are laid bare. All over the city the voters are waiting for these records and are biding their time until thev appear. Much of this work is expected to be done by the sub-committee of the com mittee of 100. Whether a report in full or even in part will be made at to night's meeting, is unknown, but at the organization meeting, held last week, it was voted that an investiga tion of records of all candidates be gathered and the results be published as widely as Is possible. It is probable that some of the points that were not acted upon at the organization meeting of the commit tee of 100, will be acted upon tonight. Thousands of people are awaiting final reports of the work of this body of representative men and women before deciding upon candidates for Mayor, Commissioners and Auditor. The masses of the people are seeking correct information concerning such of the seekers for office as they do not already know. Many of those who have filed are practically unknown to the public, having scarcely ever been heard of until now. It is believed that, before long, however, the records of every man and woman on the list will be published. Among those seeking office under the commission charter are W. J. Smith, for Mayor; E. M. Heino, for Auditor, and J. P- Ray, G. M. Zahm. O. R Hartwig and T. J. Lewis for Com missioners. All of these candidates are Socialists, although, under the new plan, no party affiliation can be indi cated. , T. O. Daly, who filed for Commis sioner, was Inadvertently left out of the list published yesterday. He is manager of the Portland office of the Monarch Oil Company, and received the nomination for Councilman of the Sec ond Ward in the Republican primary. FESTIVAL SEASON BOOSTED O.-W. R. & X.

NO SALES AT PRICES GIVEN Railroad Commission Is Conducting Sessions on Fourth Street and Passing Trains Create Ex changes of Wit. Real estate "experts" expressed varied opinions yesterday In trying to inform the State Railroad Commission on the price of property at either end of the Harriman bridge which is In contro versy because of the application of the North Bank and allied railroads to gain access to the shipping district of the East Side over that structure. These expert witnesses were intro duced by the O.-W. R. & N. Company in an endeavor to fix the price of tho real estate that may be considered a part of the bridge. Their estimated values varied from S5 to $6 a square foot on the west side of the river, and from 82 to 83 a.square foot on the East Side. C. H. Carey, at torney for the North Bank, secured the admission, however, that no sales ever had been made at these figures. a R. Slauson estimated the value of quarter-blocks west of the rver with water frontage at sou.uuu, vi per square foot. He said that the pres ence of the railroads there gives it this value. Property east of the river he thinks worth 825.000 a quarter-block, or 82.50 a square foot Estimate Baaed on Price Asked. "But don't you know." interrupted Mr. Carey, "that e bought property from the O.-W. R. & I. Company Itself for 82 a square foot?" The witness replied that he based his estimate on the price asked by the owners. "Don't vou know." again suggested Mr. Carey, "that the Southern Pacific and the O.-W. R. & N. Company, wnen they divided their, property a few weeks ago. placed a valuation of 83.60 a square foot on their West Side holdings?" Mr. Slauson said he considered West Side property facing the river in the vicinity of the new bridge worth 81200 a foot front He did not know of any property selling at that price, he added. J. B. Menefee also placed a valuation of 86 a square foot on West Side prop erty near the bridge, but estimated that on the East Side at 81-50 and 82. The only property of this class that he ever sold, however, went at i.a a square. foot. But that was three years ago, and he considers property worm 25 per cent more now tnan men. No Sales Made at 92.50. W. H. Mall said land at the east end of the new bridge is worth 82.50 a square foot. No sales are made at that figure he admitted. In an effort to show that service across the new bridge will be affected adversely after the North Bank starts operating over it, W. W. Cotton, attor ney for the O.-W. R. & N. Company, introduced M. J. Buckley, assistant gen eral manager of the company, who de scribed the Improvements now being made to accommodate this increased traffic Attorney Cotton has been insistent throughout the proceedings on empha sizing his contention that the applicant road proposes only to switch cars across the bridge, and that it does not intend to operate regular trains across it. Mr. Buckley testified under cross examination that much of the present service of the 0.-W. R. & N. Company and the Southern Pacific consists of switching. "Road Not Common Carrier." In fact. It is on this point that Mr. Cotton bases his opposition to the ap plication. On the theory that switch ing does not give a road the right to be classified as a common carrier he contends that the' North Bank, beyond its West Side terminal, is not a rail road in the strict sense of the word, and that the Commission has no Juris diction in the case. W. D. Skinner, traffic manager for the North Bank, testified yesterday morning that the proposed service across the bridge consists of more than switching service, and that much of it will be performed In connection with interstate traffic. J. Russell, general superintendent of the North Bank, and G. R. Williams, in charge of disbursements, also testified in support of the claim that the pro posed service is not to be switching service alone. B. E. Palmer, superintendent for Twohy Bros railroad contractor and formerly superintendent for the North ern Pacific, gave expert testimony as to the feasibility of' conducting the business of the North Bank and the other road,s over the bridge. In gen eral he declared the plan practicable. Passing Trains Promote Badinage.

IT was only a little over a month ago that the town was plastered with announcements that the ten prominent theatrical managers were to be seen In a burlesque on that famous emotional drama. East Lynne. Now, after their memorable appearance in the different familiar roles, and the great acting triumphs they Individual ly and collectively scored, it is but natural that, as soon as the real East Lynne, presented by a first-class com pany of real actors and actresses comes along, every man Jack of these post graduates In the art of portraying Lady Isabel. Barbara Hare. Sir Francis Levlson. Archibald Cariyle. Corney and all the rest, should want to attend that show. If for nothing else than to draw comparisons between their own con ception of the part and that of Alice Fleming, Robert Wayne. Mary Edgett. William Bernard and the other mem bers of the Baker Players who are ap pearing in the play this week. Hence, the theatrical managers, of this city have arranged to attend the Baker tonight, occupying the boxes with their families and pay for the boxes at that, ostensibly out of com pliment to Manager Baker, whose Lady Isabel In the burlesque was a most touching gem of histrionic appeal but with a weather eye open to the other parts In which they each appeared in the Follies. Manager Johnson, of Pantages, says he has never seen the real East Lynne, In fact, strange as it may appear, out of the entire ten who were In the bur lesque there were but three who had ever seen the play one of the most noted and familiar to the public that has ever been produced. This may ac count for the original conceptions of the characters noted by the critics next day. However that may be. when Mary Edgett is on the stage as Barbara Hare tonight, anyone watching the good-natured Par.tages manager will note a certain glint not ordinarily present in his eyes. Sir Francis Levlson, which Frank Coffinberry, of the Orpheum, played as a polished but fat villain; Lord Mount Severn, with which Larry Keating, of the Lyric, almost stole. the honors from the entire cast; Archibald Cariyle, in which Billy Pangle really tried to act; Corney, in which Dan Flood created no small sensation of a certain kind; Joyce, In which 1L W.'Pierong, of the Em press, aroused no end of peculiar com ment from all the women in the audi ence; the burly policeman In which Calvin Hellig tried to maintain his calmness and well-regulated dignity; Dick Hare, in which Milt Seaman tempted the audience to actual crime, and so on down to little Willie, since which characterization John F. Cordray has never dared leave the Oaks they will all be there, and they will all have such an audience as never before looked upon thorn tonight. , v. v.,, limine. thA Southern Pa- liasacs mo ..... .... ..fiiwiinc tc.
