OLDS St KING TROUBLES OF THE MAYOR TRYIXG TO WHIP CITY OFFICE HOLDERS IXTO LIXE. He Wnntu None: Under Him But Ilia Political Friend Xo Union of Independents.

It to admitted that the plumbing inspect or and his force, the poundmaster. and that portion of the street-cleaning depart ment employed on the streets are subject to the Mayor's control. All the officials and employes are said to have received direct notice that the Mayor, In his effort to reform and Improve the condition of the city, will have none under him except political friends. What course will be pursued where em- ployes refuee to support the Mayor's po-" lltlcal campaign Is not outlined yet. J. P. Mcnefee, plumbing Inspector: Walter Adams, one of his deputies; W. H. Patter son, poundmaster, and others in minor po sitions arc known o be supporting the regular ticket. Stormy scenes have oc curred at some of the interviews between ;,V Z ,-, Z mZr Democratic party, together with the Pop hte honor and these men. The Major .. . niv ,,. , , ., unhesitatingly announces that he will have none about him but pronounced friends. There are few of these in the street-cleaning department. The Mayor has said that he would reach this department by reduc ing the force 15 or 29 men. In case he be came eatlsfied there were enemies In his household. Should Superintendent of the Street-Cleaning Department W. A. Hart oppose the Mayor's desire, his head would pay the price. One of the transparent tricks of the Democracy. In behalf of Dr. Wells' can didacy. Is the feigned support being given Storey In some qparters. Old-timers mar vel that Pat Powers' saloon should prac tically become headquarters for an Inde pendent Republican candidate. The Dem ocrats and Populists who replenish their wells of political wisdom there are found talking to Storey with a vim that is sur prising. Any one but the Infatuated can didate himself can see the depth of the fripnrtiv amttmont.

Not only Mayor's has come a story that the ques- tion of campaign funds Is pressing sorely upon the Independent aspirant. Once, be fore the proper audience, the Mayor an nounced that not a cent ehould be raised through assessment of the city employes under his control That mounded well, es pecially when followed by the, independent remark that the Mayor's large property Interests in the northern portion of the city should sustain all expenses of the campaign.

He Opnoaed It In Convention, but Sow It's AH Right. PORTLAND, April S. (To the Editor.) I observe in The Oregonian of April 2S an article entitled "Fusionlsts All at Sen," and that my name is used with othera therein to the effect that I am opposed to tho fusion ticket to the extent that I will not support the came. I Intend to support that ticket from the bottom to the top without question. I will admit, however, that I opposed the Indorsement of tho ticket as presented by tho committee for ratification by the county convention, and in lieu thereof moved to amend the report to the effect that we proceed and nominate tho ticket from the floor of the convention. I made the motion, believing that the strong enough at this tlmo to carry Mult nomah County and stand squarely on the Democratic platform, and I am of that opinion still, and believe the ticket nom inated Is a good one, and that it will be elected. FRANCIS CLARNO. If Mr. Clarno will read The Oregonian article again, ho will find that his posi tion as he defined it in the Democratic convention, was stated as accurately as It could be Interpreted from his own re marks. He was described as being among those who "have no uso for fusion" No assertion was made that he would not support the ticket. The Oregonian is neither surprised nor grieved to learn that this is his intention. Sixth Ward Republicans. Tho Sixth Ward Republican Club will , spersed between speeches. Judge Frank D.

FIRST RALLY AT ALBINA REPUBLICANS nOLD AX ENTHUSI ASTIC RATIFICATION'. Mr. none Makes a Clear Statement 31 r. Brooke, Captain McDonel and Other Candidate. Ratification of the Republican nomina tions for city, county and state offices, by the Tenth Ward Republican Club, last evening, was a credit to Alblna. Political 1 enthusiasm Is always expected there, and the assemblage In Gomez' hall was no exception. Most of the Republican candi dates were present to take part In the first ward ratification of the campaign, among the number being Henry S. Rowc, nomi nee for Mayor. Mr. Rowe delivered his first address before a political gathering, and was widely complimented for the plain business statement contained there in. President Jamleson presided, and In troduced each of the various candidates for brief remarks. Excellent music by an orchestra and the Oregon Quartet favor ites was one of the very interesting feat ures. The quartet made the hit of the evening in two original campaign songs that contained strictly city topics, and utilized the names of the various Republi can nominees in a follcltous manner. In introducing Mr. Rowe, Mr. Jamleson alluded to tho responsibilities devolving upon the chief executive of the city, and especially praised the present nominee tor the office. Some of the strong points made by Mr. Rone In response were: "I am disposed to regard a city govern ment, to a certain extent, as a business corporation. It Is so similar that the bust, ness method of economy and supervision in the latter apply. It is necessary to in corporate business methods into city af fairs to secure best results from city gov ernment. Every citizen not promoting careful business management of his city government does not heed the welfare and progress of his municipality. Every tax payer has a. rlgnt to expect of the City Council and the chief executive of tne city government good municipal laws, ef ficient fire and police departments, proper regulation of street railways, and that consideration of all other municipal af fairs which an intelligent, broad-minded business man would devote to his own affairs. Where such officers are chosen you will find a progressive city. Sufficient revenues must be provided and equitably adjusted, and expenditures must be made wun me utmost attention to results ana wiwi u. spiru 01 BDsoiuie zairness. 11 you favor me with a. majority of your ballots, I can assure you that whatever business experience and ability I possess will be devoted to the office of Mayor." Mr. Rowe's statements were loudly ap plauded. Tho next speaker was T. C. Dev lin, candidate for the olDce of City Audi tor, whom the chairman Introduced with many compliments. Mr. Devlin took a wider range for discussion, and connected party triumph in municipal affairs with party triumph in National affairs. He compared the efficiency of the present Re publican administration to Its predeces sor, which went In on a reform move ment, and showed a saving of 100.000 a year to the taxpayers, besides other ex cellent Improvements. Miss Morrow, of Chicago, representing the National Woman Suffrage Associa tion, was given a few moments, which she used splendidly. Her brief, pointed argu ments for the cause of woman suftraga were applauded. S. C Beach, a favorito In tho Tenth Ward, waa Introduced as candidate for Recorder of Conveyances, but declined to speak further than giving one or two of his usually humorous stories. Captain C. E. McDonell. candidate for County Asses sor, received the greatest ovation accord ed any candidate. The residents of Al blna shouted In approval of his Dralse. given by the chairman, and. If enthusiasm ' is a criterion, tho Spanish War veteran I will receive hearty support In Alblna. I Ed Werleln. candidate for City Treasurer, 1 nut fvrvnri In ffntanrlM enM(, In n I few words of general Interest. Into which he wove material for reflection. T. Scott Brooke, candidate for the office of County Treasurer, was very brief, merely thanking the chairman and aud ience for the recognition, and asking their kind consideration in June. City Engineer W. B. Chase. Introduced as the man who acts, rather than talks, and as candidate for re-flection, gave a talk that went to the hearts of hU listeners. He explained that the economy necessary during the past few years had curtailed the opportunities of his office, but assured the peoplo that what had been allowed was well used, to the best of his Judgment, and that when the city felt able to appropriate for embellishment or more approved pavements, results of a greater kind would bo visible. Chairman Jamleson shifted from the city and county nominees to state offices, and called first upon Hon. George L. Story, candidate for re-ejection to the House of Representatives In the State Legislature. Another candidate for the Legislature Introduced was John K. Kol lock, who the chairman said was a very promising young lawyer of the city. Mr. Kollock spoke vigorously against the tick et that went before the people without principle or platform.

Other speakers heard were R. F. Rob inson, candidate for Superintendent of County Schools; George J. Cameron, can didate for Municipal Judge; A. F. Nich ols, candidate for Councilman In the Tenth Ward: J. A. Hurlburt, candidate for County Surveyor; J. W. Bailey, candi date for State Food and Dairy Inspector: Judge T. W. Vreeland. candidate for Justice of the' Peace on tho East Side, and Captain A. N. Cox. candidate for Constable In the same district. Both Judge Vreeland and tho chairman praised Cap tain Cox highly, and the audience gave both a rousing reception. R. R. Dunl way. Deputy City Attorney, explained why City Attorney Long was absent, and said a few words on the local Issues. Dr. L. M. Davis, president of the Eleventh Ward Republican Club, closed tho pro gramme. NEED NOT FEEL DISCOURAGED Prospective Low Prices for Batter Should Sot Dishearten Dairymen. The creamery movement has begun to attract a great deal of attention in Ore gon, particularly west of the Cascades. Just now, the dullest season of the year, tho period of low prices is Just coming on, during which there Is a natural tendency towards discouragement. In answer to a question as to his idea of thl feature of the situation, C H. Markham, general freight and passenger agent of the South ern Pacific, who has taken an active In terest In the promotion of dairying in the etate, said: "Widespread attention Is being attracted to Western Oregon by reason of the prom inence which haa recently been given to Its unrivaled capacity for producing butter and chcero at a less cost per pound and under more favorable conditions than pre vail In any of the great dairy states ot the Middle West. We are. however, about to pass through a crucial period. The season la fully 30 days ahead of last year, and every farm dairy and creamery Is now producing butter to Its full capacity. The result is lower prices, which dealers predict are likely to ko still lower. Cream ery butter Is now worth 20 cents per pound, but this price compared more than favorably with the price quoted In other sections. For example, today's quotations in Chicago are from 11 cents to 17 cents for creamery, and San Francisco 15 cents and 16H cents, 17 cents being the top fig ure paid for special brand. "Lower prices are likely to have a dis couraging influence on patrons of the creameries commencing operations this Spring, but this should not have a dis couraging effect, as fl is the general aver age which counts. The records of the Al bany creamery, one of the most success ful In the etate, show that during April and May, 1S$3, the average price per pound paid for butter reached the very low fig ure of 15 cents. The average for the year, however, was 22 cents, a higher average than was realized by any creamery In the great dairy states of the Middle West. The lesson to be drawn from this Is that It Is continuity of effort that counts, and a couple of months of low prices should not be permitted to have a discouraging In fluence. There la no danger of the price going below certain minimum figures, which, low as they may be, will still leave a profit for the producer. Ample cold rtorago facilities can be had, and when tho price reaches a certain figure there are always speculators ready to buy up all the surplus butter, to be placed In cold ptorage and held until later In the season, when the law of supply and demand op erates to increase the price." FIRE IN A LODGING-HOUSE. Stubborn Blaxe Which Gave the De partment Much Trouble. Fire broke out In a three-etory frame building, northeast corner of Second and Market streets, opposite the old Mechan ics Pavilion, yesterday at 1:30 P. M., and me aepartment had quite a serious time getting It under control, owing to a brisk westerly wind prevailing. The flames originated from a defectlvo flue In the second story, and. climbing up between plastering and outer wall, set the space between the Mansard roof and celling In a blaze before they were discovered. The firemen were obliged to chop holes In the roof In all directions. In order to turn the water where It was most needed. Tho building Is occupied as a rooming house by Mrs. Eva Newberry, who owns the furniture, which she valued at J1500. She carried no Insurance. Her goods were badly damaged by Are, smoke and water. The building is owned by W. W. Plimpton, who carried insurance enough to cover the loss, which Is probably J700. Just as the firemen had subdued the flames at Second and Market streets, the alarm sounded from box 52, but no fire was found when the apparatus reached 2tT Fifth street, where a smoke In the upper story had scared the Inmates of another rooming-house. A boy ran nearly three blocks, to the corner of Third and Madi son streets, to turn In an alarm, without having first assured himself that there was a fire. SYMPHONY CONCERT.

Hotels Feeling the Influx of Gold Seekers From All Sections of the Country. Present indications point to a very heavy traffic from Portland for Cape Nome, as soon as navigation In Bchring Sea per mits. F. P. Baumgartner, general agent for tho California & Oregon Coast Steam ship Company, gave out some convincing data yesterday. His company is engaged in passenger and freight traffic between Portland and Cape Nome. He said: "May 21 the steamer Geo. W. Elder will clear from this port for Cape Nomo with 250 passengers. Among these will be 35 women. The majority of theso people hall from Oregon, with a scattering from other states. "Our steamer, Nome City, built for and specifically adapted for Cape Nome traf fic, leaves Portland the same day as the Geo. W. Elder. She will carry out 425 passengers. Nearly every state In the Union will be represented. She will in clude among her passengers 50 women The Geo. W. Elder and the Nome City will each take out 900 tons of freight. These cargoes comprise mining machinery and provisions principally. The largest gold dredger ever built, shipped by the L B. Hammond Manufacturing Company, of Portland, will form part of the Nomo City's cargo. "About June 1 tho steamer Dispatch will start from here. She Is Intended prin cipally for freight, and will have on board 150 head of Oregon beef cattle. She U calculated to accommodate only 50 pas sengers, and her quota Is full. These aro stockmen. In addition, she will car ry 1000 tons of hay and feed, besides some heavy mining machinery. "We have secured also the contract from Major J. W. Jacobs, Chief Quartermaster, Department of the Columbia, to carry commissar' stores to St- Michael. Here tofore the Government freight for that point has been shipped from Seattle. We made the effort and succeeded In getting the contract- This moans something to Portland, as all the commissary stores will be purchased In this city." Yesterday one vessel cleared from San Francisco for Capo Nome, and others aro advertised to leave Seattle as early as May 5, and May 10. It is difficult to un derstand what advantage is to be gained, because the latest report of the United States Hydrographlc Office, complied from 10 years' statistics, shows that Behrlng Sea is not open to navigation before June 20. It would appear that all vessels leaving too early must of necessity lay over at Dutch Harbor until the Ice clears. ARGONAUTS GATHERING HERE. Portland Hotels necelvlnic Gold Seekera From Various Parts. A good many persons who have decided to try their luck at Nome this year have begun to register at the Portland hotels from various parts of tho country, and already groups of prospective passengers gather In the lobbies to discuss the fu ture, as based upon reports from the shores of Behrlng Sea. Among those who have already purchased their tickets are a sprinkling of staid and well-to-do business men, whose acquaintances have supposed were on the list of those retired from act ive life, but whose youthful spirit of ad venture has returned, on hearing of the great panfuls of golds to be washed up In tho tundra or along the Interior creeks. Just for tho trying. Quite a proportion of the advnturers, however, ore of the sturdy, youthful class, who havo had some experience in the far Northern shores, and wish now to make one final effort In woo ing Dame Fortune while she is so lavish in her gifts on American soil. Dr. Goucher, of McMlnnvllIe. Is one of those who has had previous experience In Alaska, and who Is now In the city outfit, ting for the present eldorado. The doc tor had a friend In Nome last August, who secured two creek claims within 15 miles of Nome City. Though opened too late last year to permit of much work, one of these claims Is known to yield 40 cents to the pan. from tho grass roots down, while claims adjoining yield J10CO a day to the man, with the aid of sluice boxes. Mr. Mulligan, the doctor's friend, who Is also preparing to return north, thinks the American beach and creek dig gings will yield eight to ten times as much gold as the Klondike. On the Klondike, ho says, work has to be prosecuted In the Winter time, when tho ground Is frozen, and no gold Is found until bedrock Is reached. At Nome the digging can be done in Summer, and gold rewards the toller the moment he strikes his pick In the surface of tho ground. Sir. Mulligan will trJce his wife up with him when he goes back this time, and will probably fix to spend the next Winter in that region. Dr. Goucher will leave his family at McMlnn vllIe. and will prepare to make the most of tho four months Nature allots for the use of the golddlggcr In that latitude. He will bring a number of slulceboxes up with him. ready to set up on his claims, end In a few weeks after his arrival there hopes to find how rich the bedrock Is. That there must be a good deal of gold at tho bottom of the alluvial deposits, he judges by the enormous wealth In the bank, from the very top down. The average distance to bedrock he thinks is about six feet. J. T.

Ho does not expect to And a herd of such steers In any one place, but picks up one or two head wherever he can hear of them. The animals will be shipped direct from this city, on board the Dispatch, which will be provided with stalls for their accommodation. The cost of land ing the steers at Nome he figures at 1101 a head, in addition to the original purchase price.

Of course, he will 'try to get hold of some of those rich placer claims in the meantime. AGAINST ANY IMPROVEMENT First Presbyterian Chnrch Objects to Bettering? Alder Street. The First Presbyterian Church, by the president and secretary of the board of trustees, has filed a protest with the Com mon Council against the proposed Improve ment of Alder street from Sixth to Lonns dale. The protest Is based on the fol lowing grounds: That the street is in better condition than the average Portland street, and no improvement Is required at this time; that no Improvement which can be made on the street will make It a desirable street for driving on. as the western extremity consists of abridge over a gulch, hundreds of feet long. The Im provement with wood blocks Is specially and particularly protested against, on the gronjd that wood block? have been tested and have not proved satisfactory In any Instance, and It Is added that If proposed Improvement Is made some contractors will make money at the expense of the property-owners and no one else will be benefited. Several efforts have been made during the past year or two to secure the Im provement of Alder street In one way or another. A move waa made a short time ago to have It Improved with vitrified brick, but S. Pennoyer was opposed to brick, and filed a petition to have It Im proved with wood blocks. And now comes the First Presbyterian Church and remon strates particularly against wood blocks. Perhaps some one can propose some kind of pavement which will suit all the in terested property-owners. i i A NEW 16 SECTION Wide vestlbuled Tourist Sleeping Car, with all up-to-date conveniences.
