SHINDLER ELECTED
MILWAUKEE'S MAYOR.
WINS OVER ISAAC MULLAN BY 31
MAJORITY AFTER HOT
CANVASS.
Mayor William Shlndler, Independ-
j enL, 73, Isaac Mullan, Citizens' Ticket,
42, tells the story of Mllwaukle's vlg-
orous municipal election Monday.
True to his prediction made at the
(Convention when bis opponents beat
I him out of the nomination for mayor,
i the fact that the Citizen's Ticket fore-
es had his defeat figured out for a cer
tainty by 10 votes. It is generally
thought that Mullan's failure to come
out fuit-fooled against the Milwaukle
club-house and the saloons lost him
some of the support that he had In
tho convention.
The other candidates elected were
recorder, Fred Lehman, 102 votes;
treasurer, E. T. Elmer, 102 votes; and
nvirshal. Edward Pautsch, no opposi
tion appearing against the three just
mentioned; for councilmen Grant Bar
ker, Cit. ;G; O. S. Mathews. Ind. 65
(re-elected). W. T. Houser, Cit 57.
Mayor Shlndler has been Identified
with the growth of Milwaukie and has
: aided financially and otherwise In its
upbuilding. In a statement made af-
ter the election he declared he bore
no 111 will toward anybody, but felt
that the voters showed their apprecia
tion of his efforts. "I hope all citi
zens will pull together in building up
Milwaukie. We have a good start.
Let us keep things moving."
PUT 2-CENT STAMPS
ON YOUR LETTERS.
The first day's free delivery went
off without any hitch to speak of Sat
urday. Of course the delivery was
comparatively light inasmuch as box
owners did not receive delivery. Hy
noon Monday, however, the number
of box-owners who left instructions to
have their mail delivered had grown
considerably and day by day the mail
will be heavier now.
The work lias necessitated the em
ployment of an extra clerk, at least
temporarily. Sub-clerk and carrier
Charles 11. Gates has been pressed
into service for a month or perhaps
more.
On a tour of inspection, Postmaster
Randall found all the drop boxes in
good shape except two, on which the
lid refused to operate smoothly. The
various material in the shape of ros
ter books and registry receipts for
the carriers has not arrived on the
scene yet.
Perhaps the jrreatost difficulty ex
perienced Saturday, and one which
was in the nature of a Joke on a good
ninny people, was the largo number
of 1 cent letters received at the of
fice. People forgot that, the free de
livery requires a two-cent stamp for
local delivery as well as for foreign
mail. Inasmuch as this is the first
of the month the postoffice is expect
ing to receive a g.iod supply of this
same matter for tho next few days
from tho business men.
CHANGE OF VENUE
LIEBKE KROHN CASc.
The case of l.ibke Krohn vs. Clack
amas Co. will be transferred to Wash
ington county as tho result of a change
of venue applied for by plaintiff's at
torneys, Hedges & Griffith. Tho case
involves damages for a defective road.
Chris Schuebel appeared for the coun
ty but. hnd no objection to a change of
venue.
MASONS BUY BARCLAY
LOTS ON MAIN STREET
DESIRABLE TRACT IS PURCHAS
ED BY MULTNOMAH LODGE
FOR $15,500 CASH.
Three 8tory Stone Structure Contem
plated If Approved at Next
Meeting Work Will Begin
Immediately.
Multnomah Lodge, No. 1, A. F. &
A. M ha closed a deal with the Bar
clay estate whereby the large tract
on west nlde of main Btreet between
Seventh and Eights streeto, comes Into
Uh possession. The transaction la a
cash deal and the consideration l
$15,500. Thirty days time Ih given the
grantors to complete the abstract and
settle minor details.
The piece of land Involved In the
conveyance Is 97 feet front and 105 1
feet deep. It includes all that prop-
erty lying between the alley and the
red brick building on the corner. It
is not likely that the plans of the
Masonic lodge will interfere with the
operation of the barber shop and Fris-
sell's bowling alleys.
Hon. J. E. Hedges and Judge T. F.
Uyan are the committee which was
delegated by the lodge to complete
negotiations.
At the next meeting of the Masons
It will be definitely decided whether
or not a building will be erected. It Is
more than likely that the lodge will
decide to build and if It does the work
will be fitarted immediately and a com
mittee be apiiointed to take charge of
the matter.
Members have in mind the erection
of a three Ktory stone building, the
rc .,,,. "t . mm!- intn .tares' the
second to be set aside for office rooms
and the third to be made handsome
lodge rooms for the organization.
Vague offers have already been
made for the store on the first floor.
The new building will only extend up
to the bowling alleys, though the land
purchased goes further than that.
Just what will be done with the
present Masonic Temple is uncertain.
The chances are that if a good oppor
tunity offers the same will be sold.
The next meeting of the organization
will determine a good many matters.
Star Report Criticised.
Rev. Landsborough in his sermon
hi me rresoyierian cnurcn, sunaay i
night, said the Star report pf the at-1 "
tack on the candidacy of Councilman I
Knapp was inconsistent in that the I
first paragraph, which gave as he said
a correct nnd unbiased account of
Rev. Robins' remarks does not agree 1
with succeeding paragraphs because j T1, case r rttemiiier vs. Iwtte

DISTINCTIVELY A CREAM OF
TARTAR BAKING POWDER
Royal does not contain an atom of
phosphatic acid (which is the
product of bones digested in sul
phuric acid) or of alum (which is
one-third sulphuric acid) substan
ces adopted for other baking pow
ders because of their cheapness.
ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK.
S
was submitted and approved and ar
ticles of Incorporation were executed
Immediately, changing the name of
the organization to Willamette Valley
Chautauqua assembly. Seven direc
tors, J. W. Apperson, H. E. Crosa, G.
A. Steel, George A. Harding, W. A.
Huntley, A. F. Parker and C. H. Dye
subscribed to the new articles. Two
members have not signed on account
of their distant locations.
The new organization Is capitalized
for $5000, divided Into 200 shares of
$25 each. Already $800 has been sub
scribed by the seven directors and
II. W. Goode, manager of the O. W.
P.. The directors are now authorized
to proceed with the soliciting of stock
subscriptions.
According to the terms of the reso
lutions of the old organization the new
one will take over the properties of
the old after having paid off Its in
debtedness, which amounts to some-
thing like $2250
The properties of
the new organization inherited from
the old exceed this by a good margin.
No doubt a prosperous future is before
the assembly.
Prospects are especially bright in
asmuch as official communication has
now been received from Manager H.
W. Goode to the effect that the spur
track will be built and power furnished
the Chautauqua grounds and buildings.
This fact was the one element that
encouraged a reorganization.
