Collector of Cus
toms I
WASHINGTON, April 5. There
has been no little - disappointnunt
over the decision of tie Oregon Sena
tors not to make public their recom
mendations for appointment for fed
eral berths. At the offices of the
various cabinet members there is no
nam f re rmeed an63 shown !
by the Senators, and the distress of
tX C- ""I
. Nevertheless, the list of those up-;
on whom Senators Chamberlain and
Lain have agreed can now be given !
with reasonable assurance. The in-:
formation is not official, and it is, ot :
course, possible that not all of those ,
reccommended by the two Senators
will be appointed.
Possibly the peoule of Portland are
more interested in the identity of .
thi, f,,tr0 nntmastpr than in anv
t-ll.i tWKV- (UMV-V. j
rtni nnk r.ffirial that 4a tn h named (
v s un who was Senator TjuiVa I
campaign manager, has reason tq ex-
pect some reward, and is reasonably
certain to become the head or tne
Portland p'ostoffice. W. A. Munly
was a strong competitor for the place
but the odds are now heavily in fa
vor of Myers.
Out of the long list of candidate s
for United States Marshal, John
Montag was finally selected and will
get the office if the attorney general
acts in accordance with the recom
mendations of the Oregon Senatirs.
For collector of internal revenue
Milton A. Miller has the inside track,
having the support of both Senators.
Herman Wise was seriously consid
ered and his indorsements till a bound
book. Ho even wrote some poetry
extolling tho administration. It is
probable that Wise will be made
postmaster as Astoria, where he lives.
There has been a hot fight for col
lector of customs but T. C. Burke
will probably land the office. Hs has
had weighty indorsements and the
influence of his brother, formerly
- Governor of North Dakota and now
United States Treasurer, has probab
ly been potent. There is just a chance
that this part of the slate may be re
vised and that M. A. Miller, instead
of Burke, may be put. forward for
collector of customs, but this is not
"likely.
E. G. Worth, of Portland, is likely
- to be surveyor General.
G. E. Welter, also of Portland, is
by all odds in 'the lead for appraiser
of merchandise.
For District Attorney Clarence L.
Reames may be regarded as a .sure
shot. Geographical conditions have
had much weight in the selection of
th,is as well as of other appointees.
There were a number of strong can
didates for district attorney but the
choice finally centered on Reames.

ed the following committee to make
investigation:
M. J. Brown, chairman ; Robert H. ;
"ucucl- " aV , ""
of Carus. Mr. Schuebel said that the
committee would begin work at once.
The following were appointed by the
chairman a committee on resolutions:
S. L. Casto, Robert H. Schuebel, Rich
ard Wright and Fred H. Hare. The
following resolutions "were reported
and adopted:
"Whereas, chargos have been made
that county bridges. were built at an
excessive figure, and contracts there
for let contrary to law;
"Whereas, the cost of repairing
the court house was about double
what the contractor offered to do the
same work for, but was turned down,
and the material was bought through
the Oregon Commission Company,
and it is claimed that Mr. Beatie is
a partner in the same;
"Whereas, Mr. Beatie and Mr.
Campbell object to the Farmer's So
ciety of Equity using the courthouse,
and allowing similar organizations
admission thereto thus discriminat
ing against the same organization;
"Whereas, the contract has been
let to cruise the timber of Clacka
mas County at a figure that appears
excessive ;
"Therefore, we your committee on
resolutions, recommend that a com
mittee of three be appointed to in
vestigate the above charges, and re-
i port at the earliest possible date to
J. W. Smith, that Mir. Smith may be
authorized to call another meeting
by publication of the call in the Ore
gon City Courier."
Judge Beatie said that the cruise
of the timber would much more than
pay for the work in increased taxes
the first year. The cost of the cruise,
he declared, would be about $35,000.
He said M. G. Nease had been employ
ed to do the work because he was an
experienced man. His charges are
the same as he made in other coun
ties and are not excessive. The
cruiser was paid eight cents an
acre, said Judge Beatie, and had giv
en a bond for the faithful performance?
of the work. The speaker said the
timber companies were willing to
furnish cruises without charge, but
these cruises were not considered
reliable, and the work of Mr. Nease
had proved this to be so.
J. E. Hedges answered the charge
regarding the cost of bridges being
excessive. He said the Coast Con
tract Company had shown him con
tracts for building bridges in other
counties and that the figures in this
county m many instances were low
er than elsewhere. He declared
the contracts showed this county had
not been charged in any case
j more than was charged other coim
i ties for the -same work,
I Judge Beatie explained that there
j had been some critbism of the court
I because it had not advertised- for bids
, for bridge wcrk. He said this hs i-
, unless it was absolutely necessary.
"The t-ell tower recently built in
; Oregon City cost the city $1,000.76' ,
i said Judgo Beatie. "I know -that the
metal in it f o. b. only cost $400, so
the contractor made about $600 on the
i contract. I mention this to show
! that the profits on the bridges built
i by the Coast Bridge Company have
not been large in comparison with
oth'r work."
I , Judge Beatie then gave figures
snowing that the cost of the metal
in the bridges and indicating the
profits to the contractor. He said the
bndg s were permanent and needed
by the county.
The speaker announced that the
grand jury had made an investigation

GRAND TO PRODUCE
GREAT STORY OF SAVIOR
Charles Schram, manager of the
Grand Theatre, has been succesful
in getting the great film "From the
Manger to the Cross" which will be
exhibited at his theatre Tuesday and
Wednesday. This fiilm is pronoun-,
ced by many as being the most e::
traordiriarr and wonderful piece of
work ever tvrned out by any moving
picture company. The pictures were
all taken )n the Holy Land, and por-
tray a perfect and authentic picture '
and story of the life of our Saviour. ',
As is suggested by the title, the first
reel takes up the birth of Christ and
his life and the principle events con- .
nected with it are carried through
t''e five reels of film until the assen-'
sion. I
The masterpiece was exhibited at
the Heilig Theatre in Portland sev
eral weeks aeo and the theatre was
crowded at all of the performances.
A number of Oregon City people saw
the pictures at that thpatrs and unit
ed with te clergy of that city as well
as the ministry all over the country
in pronouncing the pictures the great
est rcHeious production ever put
before the peonle of this country.
No vaudeville will be shown on the
davs the pictures are run nor will
other pictures be shown. It will take
nearly an hour and a haif to show the
picture and it is impossible to make
thre complete runs of the picture
either in a sinele afternoon or even-ins.-
It is urged that those who are
able to go to see the pictures in the
afternoon as the crowds are not like
ly to fce as great as in the evenings, i
The first afternoon show will begin
shortly after 12 o'clock. Mr. Schram
has received many congratulations
over securing the picture.

Every women tries to get the
best value for her money. That
is natural and proper, but the
indiscriminate-hunt for bargains
spells trouble.
"Then tendency of the aver
age woman", says James J.
Hill, "is to buy everything as
cheaply as possible. It is dif
ficult to convince a housewife
of this fact but when she once
realizes it, she is on the true
road to making money. The
same principle that governs a
railway in buying steel rails
ought to govern the housewife

After an absence of a year in Uru
guay Mr. J. Nelson Wisner, formerly
of Oregon City, Or., is back in New
York from his post as director of
fisheries in the South American Re
public says the New York Herald.
"My Work", he said, "has proceed
ed along lines rather different from
my anticipations. I thought that my
main activities would be on the side
of fish culture, but I have to begin
at an earlier stage than that. When
I got there I made a study of the fish
industry to find out the ' extent to
which the resources at the country's
disposal have been utilized. Fishing
is done, but very little, and that by
methods which are not calculated to
give the best results.
"A few fishermen go out in sailing
vessels when they feel like it. They
may get a good catch, and if they
have a favorable wind and the weath
er is not too hot they get ashore. But,
on the other, hand, they may become
embalmed in hot weather, and then
they have to return the whole catch
to the ocean.' No attempt has been
made to bring the fish to land on
steam vessels and preservation by
icing Is unknown.
"So it was apparent that the first
thing to be done was to demonstrate
the commericial possibilities and in
this and all through my work I was in
debted to the minister of industries,
Dr. Eduardo Acevedo, to whom I am
responsible. He is one of the farsight
ed men of TJruguary, and he is carry
ing out a big program for the devel
opment of natural resources.
"When I first went there I was
told that I should never get to see
the President. Soon after I arrived
I was told by my Minister that the
President was interested in hearing
from me o'n account of my work and
that he had appointed a time to see
me. When the question of a boat
came ud I said that in my judgment
we ought to have the very "best ob
tainable, and the President agreed to
that proposal.
"After many consultations I decid
ed on a v.essel of the trawler type
and had tentative plans drawn up.
Final plans are .now in preparation,
and when they are ready they will be
submitted to builders in all important

VICE PRESIDENT IS INVESTIGATING
Complainant Went to Capital to Urga
Appointment of Husband for
Office in Okla-
noma
WASHINGTON, April 5. Stories
that have stirred official Washington
for more than a week, involving
charges of a sensational nature
against one of the Democratic lead
ers in the United States ' Senate, and
arousing counter-charges of a polit
ilcal conspiracy of the Senator in
question, culminated today in the pre
sentation of a statement addressed
to the President of the Senate and
a demand for an investigation and
expulsion proceedings if the charges
were sustained.
The statement was presented to
the secretary of the Senate by J. R.
Jacobs, formerly Democratic Nation
al committeeman from Oklahoma, and
was transmitted by the secretary to
the office of the Vice-President.
Mr. Jacobs charges Thomas P.
Gore, the blind Senator from Okla
homa, with having perpetuated indig
nities on Mrs. Minnie E. Bond, wnose
husband is secretary of the State
Fair Association of Oklahoma . The
charges are based on alleged meet
ing between he Senator and Mrs.
Bond in a room at a Washington
hotel, which has been the stopping
place of many Oklahomans since the
recent inauguration of President Wil
son. Mrs. Bond, it is understood, came
to Washington to urge the ' appoint
ment of her husband as collector of
Internal Revenue for the Oklahoma
district.
Vice-President Marshall refused to
say anything about the case after re
ceiving the statement made by Mr.
Jacobs. What action' he would take
hs said, would not be determined
until Monday.
