should be placed at a proper depth
was adopted in view of the proposed
permanent improvement of the street.
Several of those present favored im
proving the street with vitrified brick

that the present brick would not last
more than one year. A resolution,
declaring that it was the opinion of
those present that the street should
be permanently improved at the ear

.3 plan is to improve Main Street
from Moss to the Southern limits with
asphalt or bitulitic. Bids will he ask
ed and it is probable that the smooth
surface may be laid on the present
brick. However... it would be neces

property on Main Street are urged to
attend, because it is a question of
great importance to them. John Ris

McARTHUR HITS SCHUEBEL AND
EATON FOR STAND ON
MEASURE
CLACKAMAS MAN MAKES -DEFENSE
Gill, Wearing Bull . MooSo Badge,
Thinking of Becoming Party's
Candidate for Govern
or SALEM, Feb. 25. (Special.) The
bill giving the Governor the power
to appoint special local county and
municipal officials to enforce the
laws was twice near death on recon
sideration in the House today, and at
the end of the last and hardewfe- battle
in the evening Speaker MicArthur
took the floor and charged some of
the Republican members, specifically
Eaton of Lane, and Schuebel, with
being "thin-skinned"' in letting "The
most damnable piece of legislation
even enacted" get by them.
The bill was passed Monday after
noon, reconsidered later, and made a
special order of business for this
morning. In the afternoon the House
tried to reconsider the bill. Reames,
a Democrat, rose to a point of or
der, declaring that a measure coull
not be reconsidered twice unless it
had been amended on first reconsid
eration. A peculiar parliamentary
situation developed, a call of the
House was demanded and the House
remained idle under this head for half
an hour, excited whispered consulta
tions going on all the time. Speak
er McArthur would have to rule on
Reames' point of order. Cell of Clat
sop, was missing and the minority
wanted him. Schuebel, in speaking
lor Reames' point of order, charged
that he had been approached by mem
bers of the organization, who threat
ened tu kill some of his bills unless
He -lined up" with them. When he'
charged' that favoritism had been
shown, Speaker McArthur interrupt
ed him.
"Mr. Schuebel," said the speaker.
"You are making a direct personal
charge against the speaker, and I
wiil not tolerate it. ' Schuebel assur
ed him that nothing personal was
meant, but continued his attack on the
organization. Speaker McArthur charg
ed that it was the "thin-skinned" Re
publicans who had let the bill get
through. It was apparent that he
specifically ment Eaton and Schuebel.
The afternoon of bitterness was end
ed witn adjournment after nearly two
hours of this discussion.
Governor West limped into his of
fice this morning after being absent
since Friday afternoon, and regard
ed it as a joKe that the legislators
had been so anxious as to his where
abouts as to break into his nffifoonri
leave a bunch of bills on his desk un-
ler heavy guard. Furthermore he
slipped one over on the Legislature,
when he gave the House and Senate
guards receipts for the bills. The re
ceipts were dated today. The situa
tion between the Legislature and the
chief executive, however, has com
pletely changed A R
cus helo at midnight last night re
ported in favor of adjourning tomor
row, ;f the Senate completed its
work, and meet aeafci some time next
k to consider the vetoes the Gov
ernor is expected to have to offer.
Leaders of the Republican organiza
tion announced that forty-three mem
bers had promised to return within
five days and consider the vetoes.
From the tone of the minority side
of the House, however, it is consid
ered doubtful if the necessary forty
can be obtained. One notable an
nouncement by the organization lead
ers was that Gill of Clackamas had
been excluded from the caucus be
cause he had announced that he had
turned Progressive. Mr. Gill is wear
ing a huge brass Bull Moose badge
and says he is seriously considering
"ing a candidate of that ' party for
Governor at the next elpotinn
Governor West said that he did not
return to the office on Monday because
it was o. matter of hurting his horse
or of disappointing the Legislature,
and he chose to do the latter. Since
Saturday he has been on his ranch
at Cannon Beach, "taking a rest."
Monday morning he started to ride
to Seaside, but his horse cast a shoe,
and he was delayed. He explained
his noticeable limp by saying that
while wandering over his ranch tfe
had fallen down an embankment and
turned his knee. The Governor seem
ed in the best of spirits.
The general aDnroDriation hill mr.
rying SI. 230.000 was vptnorl h rha
Governor, and shortly thereafter pass
ed Over his veto bV hnth hmiaoa with
the Clackamas County delegations in
Dotn nouses voting-against its pas
sage. Seventy-four items were includ
ed in the hill. Gnvprnnr West rava
as his reason for vetoing it tha he
uiu not approve tne manner of put
ting the miscellaneous appropriations
m one bill, so he would have to kill
them all or occept them. Some of
the items contained in the bill, he
said, were of Questionable merit Tn
the House, both Schuebel and Gill
voted to sustain the veto of the Gov
ernor. In the Senate, Dimick strong
ly opposed the passage of the bill ov
er the veto. "Here you have big ap
propriations for the so-called horse
doctor, the alleged forest protection,
and the naval militia, all blanketed
in one bill" he said. "Your Ways and
Means Committees have done this
just because the Governor cannot veto
specific items. I, for one, am willing
to stay here and help get out of the
hole the Ways and Mfeans Committees
have put us in. -
On the floor of the House the nav
al militia and the forest service ap
propriations were the ones chieflv
objected to. The Governor's political
allies, however, put up no strong

RYAN TO HEAD
NEBRASKAN, REPORT SAYS, WILL
BE NEW SECRETARY OF
STATE
GOETHALS TO FILL WAR PORTFOLIO
Burleson, of Texas, Is Decided Upon
fotPostmaste.r-General Mc.
Adoo Secretary of
Treasury
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 It was
said positively tonight in high con
gressional circles closely identified
with the incoming administration of
President WTilson that the following
cabinet appointments had been deter
mined upon definitely:
Secretary of " State, William J.
Bryan, of Nebraska.
Secretary of the Treasury, William
G. McAdoo, of New York.
Postmaster-General, Albert S. Burle
son, of Texas.
Secretary of the Navy, Josephus
Daniels, of North Carolina.
The foregoing names and positions
are said to have advanced entirely
fceyond the stage of conjecture or
gossip and become finalities in the
forthcoming Cabinet list. Other plac
es in the Cabinet are said to be rea
sonably settled, with the exception of
War and Agriculture.
This plan was carried into partial
execution late today when the aa-
'uncement of Representative Burleson-
that he would resign the posi
tion of chairman of the Democratic
use caucus at an early date was
coupled with the announcement by
House leaders that A. Mttchell Palm
r would succeed as chairman of the
aucus. ,
Other names which have been prom
inently mentioned for the Attorney
Generalship, but which are now elim
inated from this or other Cabinet port
folios, are Chancellor Walker, of New
Tersey and Representative Henry of
Texas. Chancellor WTalker was high
ly regarded, and it is probably due to
his own wishes that his name no long
er is considered. The election of
Representative Burleson of Texas for
the Portmaster-Generalship had the
natural effect of eliminating Mr.
Henry's name from further consider
ation, he being also from Texas.
Informat'on from other sources gave
assurances that Calonel George W.
Goethals, chief engineer and chair
man of the Panama Canal Commis
sion is .under consideration for the
Secretary of War. Some close frienis
of the incoming administration have
felt that a lawyer should he chosen
as head of the War Department in
view of the legal questions involved
relating to the Panama Canal, the
Philippines and other important mat
ers. .

CIVIC COMMITTE REPORTS THAT
IT IS MAKING FINE
PROGRESS
CLUSTER LIGHTS URGED BY PRICE
WMIamette Pulp & Paper Company,
Through Manager, Makes Prop
osition to Keep Suspension
Bridge Clean
With a determination to ultimate
ly have a clean city, the civic im
provement committee of the Live
Wires will this week make a further
inspection of the ground covered in
the first trin made several weeks
flPTI This: annnnnnoniflnt 'nroa t
in the following report submitted at
Tuesday's luncheon:
"The committee wishes to report
that during the latter part of this
week a re-inspection of the ground
covered in the first trip will be made.
Again special attention is called to
the altogether too prevalent presence
of disease breeding manure piles. At
a time when the rapid approach of
warm weather makes these nuisan
ces especial! dangerous, it is ear
nestly recoii-K.iended that every effort
; made to wipe out this health-menace.
The committee also wishes to
report that negotiations are under
way to r. cmv a. weekly cleaning of
the s"-r,eri'i0H brld?f. The Willam
ette I'uj;i & Taper Company, through
the efforts of Mr. McBain, has agreed
o furnish the necessary men for the
nnrposa of hosin? down the bridge.
The necessary hose and a suitable
place lor storing it remains to be
supplied and the committee is at
present in favorable communication
with the county court regarding this
i of the proposition."
The Live Wires adopted a resolu
tion recommending to the city coun
cil that that body install cluster
lights on Mlain Street from Third to
Twelfth and on Seventh Street from
Center to J.J. Adams. This action
was taken a,? the instance of A. A.
Price, chairman of the cluster light
committee, seconded by George Ran
dall, who succeeded in having a por
tion of Seventh Street included in the
resolution for cluster lighting. The
cost to the city, it was stated by Mr.
Price, would be about $5,500, and the
motion carried with the undertsand
ing that the cost maintainance would
be born by the business men and prop
erty owners. It is planned to place
six lights on each block, three on
eacr side of the street. Mr. Price
intimated that he had assurances from
several of the members of the city
council that they would support an
ordinance directing the installation
of the lights.
B.- T. McBain reported that he had
been informed that a meeting is be
ing arranged between the Pure Water
Committee of the city council and a
similar-purpose committee of the phy
sicians association and the Live Wires.
During the interval between lun
cheon and adjournment the statement
was made by Grant Dimick that the
revenue from the sale of wool and mo
hair and from thoroughbred sheep
and goats shipped out of Polk Coun
ty last year was sufficient to pay the
taxes of the entire county and to
construct 100 miles of macadamized
road.
A. L. Flude, of Chicago, represent

entertaining talk along the lines of
his work.

Gilbert L. Hedges, it - is thought,

which provides for the abolition of

The bill goes back to the House, and.

prove the bill. It will give him an
opportunity to give offices to several
Democratic friends.
In case the bill becomes a. law, the
Enterprise thinks that the Governor
will appoint Mr. Hedges County At
torney for Clackamas. He has prov
ed his qualifications for the office,
having served as district attorney as
an appointee of the Governor. De
spite the overwhelming Republican
majority in the district he made a'
good race against Mr. Tongue at the .
last election, although Mr. Tongue is
regarded as one of the greatest pros
ecutors in the Northwest. Mr. Hedges
carried his home county by a good
majority, which proves that his fel
low citizens have the greatest faith
'a his ability.
It was stated on the Senate floor
that this proposal increases the cost
for prosecuting attorneys for the en
