FOR COUNTY 8URVEY0R. A now candidate for the office of County Surveyor linn appeared, In the perflon of Deputy Surveyor L. It. howls, who linn Jlnully yielded to tho Importunity of mnny friends to per tnlt lils name to bo used In that con nection. Mr. Lewis Ih n practical civil engineer of much experience. UouldoH private pursuit of IiIh IiuhI ncHB aH Surveyor, Mr. Lewis hns Horved four yonrB iih deputy In the Multnomah County Surveyor office. In which poBltlon he bMII 1b. Ho la very proficient In IiIh profession and unuflually nccurate In IiIb work. Mr. Lowlu Ib a very popular young man perBonally and strong In IiIh party, for which he has done much excellent work. He enjoys tho con fidence of the local party leaderB and hitH ninny warm personal friends among tho Democrats. He would, In deed, mako a most excellent County Surveyor nnd would ho nH strong a cnndldnto as the KopubllcnnB could nomlnnte. Ho Ih admirably (uullflotl to carry hucIi official reflponHlblllly nnd eminently fitted to discharge the duties of Hint office. The denth of Governor Rogers, of Wnshlngton, has precipitated a wnr llko chango In the political influences now struggling for supremacy In Hint State. Tho Congressional delega tion Is divided on mnny important matters and Governor McUrldo finds himself between soveral fircB on IiIh assumption of the responsibilities of tho office. McDrlde Ib a careful, clean, conscientious man, however, nnd will mnke n most excellent Stnto oxocutlve. Tho last official act In the appoint ment nnd conflrmntlon of Hon. Henry Moldrum ns Stirvcyor-Genornl of Oregon hns been done and Surveyor Geuornl Meldrum Is now nt tho hend of thnt depnrtment. No .mnn Ib more competent than he to nssutne nnd dlschnrge the rcsponslbllitleB of thnt eminent place. Ho Is thoroughly fa miliar with the topography of Oregon In every dotnll. A more competent engineer never set n compuss. -,. 3t o p-ip A Tammany Hall, of Now York, hns n now leader In tho person of Louis Nixon, a young man with much In fluence politically and mnny friends outside of tho regular organization; but Portland's Tammany has, so far, refused to recognize n lender In the person of numerous aspirants for thnt honor. Oregon nomocracy will never amount to nnythlng until It reorga nlzcB Its Portland Tnmmany. Strong Influence Is being brought to benr on tho Oregon delegation t- appoint a successor to Oeorgo W. Hnyos nH register of the Land Office nt IluriiH, Oregon. Hayes was mini marlly removed by tenson of his clcnrly proven Immoral conduct. Ho was fired out of fraternal orders to which ho previously belonged nnd has boon "cut" by tho reBpectnhlo society of bin district. Vet, It ap pears, Scnntor Simon Is not ready to agree on tho name of IiIh successor. Tho business of tho Hums district Ih Important and It goes without argu ment thnt tho Simon forces In the Statu will loso by their dllntorlnesB in this enso. Tho Lowls nnd Clark corporation hna boon legnlly organized nnd Ih now' ready to proceod with business ns a corporation. Its fiftoon direct ors nro: IL Wjl Corbott, H. W. Scott, Adolpho Wolfo, Paul Wesslngor, A. 11. Dovers, Rufus Mnllory, John K. O'Shoa, I-oo Fried, Chnrlos 13. Ladd, W. D. Kenton, A. L. Mills, G. W. llntes, I. N. FlelHchnor, W. D. Wheel wrlght nnd F. DrcsHer. Theso nnmes nlono ought to lnsuro tho success of tho enterprise. However, Its success was already assured boforo tho im r poratlon was fully organized. Senntor Mitchell's friend, Hon. Georgo W. Hlbco, has been de termined upon ns tho proper person to nppolnt to tho receivership ol tho Land Office at Oregon City. Pretl dent Roosevelt, It seems, Is taking rmnll account of tho personal squab bleB of tho Orogon dolcgntlon. Ho thus ngaln manifests his friendship for Orogon. Tho hill to appropriate $2150,000 for the enlargement nnd Improvement of tho Portland Postofllco hns passed the Senate. ReprcsentntlvcH Tonguo nnd Mpody now have tho menstiro In hand and are working carefully to pass It without material chango In the House. It Is probable that tho Republican Stnto Central Committee will make n now apportionment of delegates to tho Stnto convention, based on, tho vote cast In tho presidential election In 1000. This will mnko tho total number of delegates 340. Statu Senator Charles A. Fulton has announced himself nH n cnndl dnto for the United States Senator ship to succeed Senntor Simon. Mr. Fulton Is n strong mnn and n very nctlvo politician, Ho Ib one of tho Republican wnrhorscH In Oregon nnd Ih thoroughly familiar with tho needs of the State In tho v way of National legislation. Senator Fulton's policy concerning tho opening of our great Columbia River highway, from mouth to tho head of navigation, Ih well known and la one of the InlluonccH that make him popular. Son-going pooplo properly bavu much dread, of the son "necessarily encountered from Ptiget Sound ports. Mnny ships now lio at anchor or nro tossed at will by tho wild wavei off tho capes of the Northern coast. Hon. William Far re will probably ho tlm next roster of the Laud Office nt Hums. He Isn't Senntor Simon's choice, hut thnt doesn't seem to cut .much ico with the President. Tho city authorities have autlioi Ized a lovy of 7 mills. This will yield a total of nearly $300,000. FREAKS OF THE SIGN PAINTER. Mr. King G, Staples, nt the bond of tho Staples ljuid & Emigration Company, of this city, has been In tho lumbering business In Minnesota and Wisconsin for twenty years nnd has done a locating business In Du luth, MJiinosotn, for two years. He has spent nearly a year In tho woods of Oregon nnd Washington, looking over tlm timber lands of these states. He Ih n safe mnn to counsel with on such matters. Call on him, at room t, Worcester building. Ho hns vol. times of Information. Mr. Georgo K. Streeter, a promi nent Insurance man of this city and a Republican of unman ed lecord, Is being urged as a suitable mnn for tho office of County Treasuier. Mr. Streeter has always been a Republi can and is a constant nnd tireless worker in tho rnnks of that organiza tion. He has succeeded admirably In bis own business, which Is a safe guarantee that ho would mako u suc cessful public official In any r sponsible capacity. llrother Itinera is the first, so let tho good work go on; Among tho five license Inspectors selected by City Auditor Ilatton. during the past week, tho editor of tho Colorado Statesman was included In tho list. This Is tho first time in tho history of Denver that such n position litis been awarded a colored man, thus It will be seen thnt the present city administration has made a now Hold for tho negro, ono that wo, iih well ns our muny friends, appreciate. Norel BpcllInK lined nil Rlgim In Vurl oui I'urtM of Clitcnuo. Chicago sign painters ludulgo In somo queer orthography. In big red letters on tho outer wall of a Stnto street va riety theater Is the following sign: "Twenty Lovely Females with Forms Devluo." There have been tunny Do vines, and their forms wero ns perfect ns hourls whatever they tire and per- hups this variety manager was not under n bad spell when ho had the words so painted. If hu means that he litis nu attraction of twenty of the Dovlues from County Clare, Ireland, then he, Indeed, lias something to brag about lu big red letters. It Is more probable, however, that tho manager of the theater meant "forms divine," and that ho knows nothing of the Clnro clan, lu Clnrk street, near Thirty-seventh Is u restaurant which heralds to the hungry public that It furnishes "Meals at all hours; saudwltches of all kinds; oysters In nny stile." This ought to cover tho situation thoroughly and sup ply tho necessities of any hungry man. "Dresses Maid Over" Is n sign on the front of a house lu Noith State street. A maid often dresses over, nnd perhaps the sign merely got the cart boforo tho horse, ami Ills the facts In the case all right. A sign displayed mi a South Sldo building proclaims "Stabling here for horses and mete and drink fur tho driver," lu the business district can bo found such signs as "This Place for Sail." "Hiiro Cut. 15 Cents," "Shoes Hnlf-Souled Wile You Walt." nnd "Teeth Nxtrnehtcd Wile You Wnte." A second-hand store In Clark street near Harrison displays a sign which says "Cotes and Rrltehes for Sail." In Chi cago avenue n dealer In fuel announces that ho has "Colo and Wtulo" for sale. Tho Ingenuity of a West Madison street grocer Is displayed by a slgu which says ho lias "Canned Goose, Stmw, Hlack, lMue, Has. and Huckle berries" for sale.

I " Reel nc that n modern racing yacht Is a sailing machine pure and simple,, nine persons out of ton Imagine thnt it represents tho acme of speed obtain able from wind. To theso It may come ns a shock to hear that there have been during the past century, nnd are to-day, sailing vessels allont with which, lu a long race even the Shnmrock II. would stand no chance nt all. The Aberdeen clippers, of the early '00s were the first craft to show what could be done In the way of speed under Ball. Tho Maid of .Itidnh In 1SG0 made the passage from Loudon to Sydney In Boventy-elght days. Tho Lllltes, a clip per of 1,G(J5 tons, took troops from Dub lin to Gibraltar In four days nnd Inter Balled from Liverpool to Melbourne In seventy-nine dnys. On this occasion she logged !10o miles a dny for soveral days In succession. This Is more than one-third nH fast again as tho Vnlkyrle H.'s best record. The well nnnied Hurricane of the Thnnies nnd Mersey line enmo homo onco from Melbourne In seventy-four days. On this occasion she achieved what Is probably a world's record for sliced. She ran 270 miles In sixteen and one-half hours a speed exceeding sixteen miles an hour, a .performance that her builders nnd owners might well be proud of. In 18(17 occurred the grentest of China ten clipper races. Fourteen ships took part. Tho Ariel won. covering the dis tance from Foo-Chow-Foo to London In 102 days. Tho curious part of this race wiih thnt a ship which wiib not entered for tho race, the Sir Lancelot of Greenock, a composlto-bullt vessel, bent everything else by three dnys. Tho Sir Lancelot wiih 750 tons burden nnd carried 40,000 feet of canvas that Is, Just over an acre. Her mainmast was 200 feet high. Her record of 14,000 miles In eighty-nine dnys still stands, while her best day's sail wns .'J34 stnt ute miles In twenty-four hours. The absolute record, however, for a twenty four hours' run belongs to the Ther mopylae, a 018-ton clipper. On .Inn. 3, 1870, she sailed 380 statute mlles-a rate of 1R.8 inlloa nn hour. Tho enor mous five and six masted fore nnd after rigged ships of to-day carry on these traditions of speed. It Is, of course, the size of these ships which gives them the advantage over racing yachts.
