If campaign buttons tell how the wind blows, the atmosphere around Portland is agitated with a hurricane In the direc tion of McKinley and Roosevelt. Just to see how many politicians and other good American citizens were showing their colors to the wondering world, a reporter stationed himself in the lobby of the Chamber of Commerco building, and for an hour kept tab on the passing throng, and the emblems on the coat lapels there of. In that time there passed through the Third-street door 83 persons wearing Mc-Kinley-Roosevelt buttons and seven sup porters of Bryan with courage enough to label themselves as such. Of course, the great majority of people who passed wore no buttons other than such as were necessary to the coheslve ness of their raiment, for there are a great .many people in that particular lobby on a bright Indian Summer after noon, so many, in fact, that a count of ttiem would be a surprise even to the people who help make up the crowd. But that is another story. Many styles of buttons were worn by the McKinley and Roosevelt people, most of them being portraits of the two can didates on a background of red, white and blue. Others wore simply miniatures of McKinley, while still others bore only the names of the Republican nominees, with some appropriate legend. Ono "full dlnncr-pall" button was counted. One, and one only, pattern of Bryan badge was noticed, a simple photograph of the boy orator on a button. The Hon. A. E. Stevenson may have risen to the dignity of a place on the ticket with the distinguished Populist merely to rep resent the Democrats, but it appears that he did not "win enough spurs while fight ing the battles of Democracy with Cleve land to "entitle him to a place on the but ton. At any rate, he did not make his appearance on one during the afternoon, but Bryan himself was only seen seven times. W. E. Burke, Republico-Dcmocrat and manager of the Bryan cause in Multno mah County, came along early on his way to interview Judge Thomas O'Day about the most available Republican the Democrats could nominate for the Legis lature. Mr. Burke wore a voice of glad ness and a smile, but no button. He may possibly be the owner of an emblem of his Democracy, but it was not displayed about his person with sufficient consple uousness to be visible to the X-ray eye of a vigilant reporter. A few minutes after Mr. Burke's en trance. Chairman George A. Steel, of the Republican State Central Committee, came in, and it was not necessary to di vide his profile Into cross-sections to lo cate hlgrtbuxaon. It was of the usual twin-portrait style, and was in very plain sight. The first Bryan man to appear labeled and tagged was I. W. Robertson, who has no hesitancy about announcing his political convictions. Mr. Robertson wore tho portrait of the Nebraska candidate where lie who ran might see, and he said he was not ashamed of it. Following him came several McKinley buttons, and one Bryan button on a boy. Then appeared A. P. Kelson, always a loyal upholder of Populism, Democracy and the other divisions of the Fusion band, but he wore no button that any one could see. "W. E. Robertson, who opened the Bryan ratification meeting, came along about this time with no button. Next followed half a dozen well-known lawyers, with McKinley emblems, and one member of tho Rough Rider Club, with three McKinley buttons and a Rough Rider hat. There would have been a strong temptation to count him as four if the game had been running close, but the Bryan buttons were so lonesome that lie was enumerated as one, and one only. A few scattering Bryan buttons made up tho total of seven when all were in, with no more in sight, and several Mc Kinley buttons were just appearing through tho door. The count at the Chamber of Commerce building occupied only an hour, but it is a tolerable indication of the conditions around town. Dealers who have buttons on sale report that the Bryan variety are almost a drug on the market, while Mc Kinley buttons of attractive design go like tamales on a frosty night. Few of the well-known war horses of Democ racy seem to care to carry around the picture of their candidate, while, every prominent Republican met on the street has his button In plain sight. There is no attempt made to tell why this is, but any one who desires to check up the Chamber of Commerce count will find the doors of that building open during busi ness hours every day- Tonngr Smith's Condition.

S. M. Mears, who Is also a member of the Taxpayers' League, brought up the subject of enforcement of city ordinances at the regular meeting of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday. He-thought It advisable for the Chamber of Commerce to take some action toward indorsing the recommendation of the league. Pollce'of flcers, he said, do not lnforco ordinances because they fear such activity on their part would be unpopular and might im peril their jobs. A ringing indorsement by the Chamber of Commerce, as a body, signed by all the members and as many otners as could be got, he thought would have a good effect in that It would show that there is a popular demand for indorse ment of the ordinances. It would then appear -that public sentiment is behind it and there would be no difficulty about .inforclng laws that are popular. The of fense particularly mentioned as needing correction Is the use of the streets as dumping ground for all sorts of filth, from decayed fruit of the fruit stands to the contents of saloon cuspidors. Mr. Hahn agreed entirely with Mr. Mears as to the desirability of lnforclng tho ordinance, but he did not think It within the legitimate province of trie Chamber of Commerce to take up -the matter. He was -in favor of taking the suggested action as citizens,- but not as the Chamber of Commerce organization. Mr. Livingston thought there was some force in Mr. Hahn's objection, and that It would be better not to commit the Chamber of Commerce to action of this kind. Mr. Mears said -the Chamber of Com merce was continually taking -up Federal matters, and he thought such action as he had suggested was quite as much in the interest of the community. After a little further discussion it was agreed that it would be better for the members to co-operate as citizens with the Tax payers' League, and the idea was given out that such support would be given. And the matter was all informal and did not get in the official minutes. A letter from the clerk of the Stato Board of Pilot Commissioners was read answering an inquiry as to the cause of the collision of the transport Thyra with the trestle of the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad. The letter said two of the Commissioners were on board the ship within half an hour after the accident, and upon examining into the circum stances and hearing .the report- of tho pilot, they found -that the steamer refused to obey her helm. Sho did the same on crossing another shoal, and the pilots concluded something must be wrong with her steering gear. CATTLE AT DAWSON. Competition Among: Dealers Almost as Keen as in the States. J. R. Enos, a Grant County stockman, who has just returned from Dawson, Is at the Perkins. He has been engaged in transporting livestock to the Klondike for the past three years, and will now re tire from active business until the Pres idential election is over. He says Daw son has been brought so near civilization by Improved methods of transportation that competition has become as keen In tho stock business as it is at home. "It costs 25 to 26 cents a pound to land a beef steer, or a fat hog, or wether at Dawson." he said, "and the butchers there know enough to put prices down when a netf lot of livestock has started from the pastures of the south for that point." His last shipment was a band of Canandlan steers purchased at "Winni peg, Manitoba, at 6 cents a pound, on foot, and when those arrived In Dawson the butchers were selling fresh beef as low as 20 cents a pound, by the quarter. He thus had to do some considerable figuring and managing.to come out even. Dawson, he thinks, has now about 15, 000 people and has already become quite a staid little city. He left there on Sep tenuDer 20, tond stopped over in Skagway a few days. This town he considers on the decline, the railroad having Impaired its business severely. The road is now in operation to "White Horse, 112 miles from Dawson, and Skagway is merely the point of landing for passengers and freight bound to the Upper Yukon. PRAISE FROM HIGH SOURCE O. R. & N.

Pat Up by Democrats, Wno May Not Support Him at the Polls. The Democratic County Central Com mittee last night selected John Montag as nominee for the Legislature to fill the place made vacant by the death of A. J. Knott. Montags selection is not a pledge to support him from the Demo crats of Multnomah County speaking through the central committee, as it has not yet been decided whether he shall be run as a Democrat or a "Citizens-Democrat." and the man who goes up as a 'Citizens-Democrat" will get-the support of the county central committee and the majority of the party. It was only after a hard fight that Men tag's name was put up at all. Montag, who has been a candidate several times and knows something about the chances of a man who runs as a straight Demo crat, was only about half willing to go on the ticket, and the steering commit tee, headed by Judge Thomas O'Day, strongly favored the candidacy of F. A. Bancroft, George H. Durham or some other Republican, who would stand a bettor chance to get the Republican votes needful for his election, titan a Demo crat. In fact,' tho selection of Montag was only a concession to the radical Dem ocrats, and a concession which will really amount to nothing should it be decided to put a Republican on the ticket as a- "Citizens-Democrat.' ' "Whatever is done in this matter must be done quickly, and County Clerk Holmes has notified the central commit tee that their nomination must be filed by next Saturday at the latest, If they hope to have their candidate's name on the ticket. It Is expected that the war ring elements of the Mitchell-McBride Democratic forces will get together today or tomorrow and decide whether or not Montag can be trusted to carry out their wishes in the Legislature, and whothe he stands any chance of election if ho can be trusted. "What the combination wants Is a man in the Xejrlslature who will support their candidate for United States Senator, and they want a man who can be elected. Even the hard and fast Democrats are not very confident of Men tag's ability to gets votes enough, and while they do not want to support a Re publican, they may possibly acquiesce -la tho judgment of their superiors of tho steering committee if" a Republican shall be chosen. WATER PUMPING INVENTION Arthur Z-wIclccr Has Pnt Together a Valuable Contrivance Notes. . Arthur Zwicker, member and treasurer of the firm of Wolff & Zwicker, has in vented a machine for irrigating the dry land contiguous to the Columbia River and its tributaries, that is attracting the attention of railway men and mechan.es. If it proves a success, and those capable of judging are confident it will, it will be a boon to districts adjoining running streams of' water where irrigating is necessary. About eight miles below Ar lington there is a pumping machine for lifting water 40 feet, which does its work only fairly well, but Is liable to mishaps by passing logs and" other causes, and Mr. Zwicker thought long and earnestly on a pumping machine more economical and more certain. of operation, and the plan of the present machine flashed sud denly into his mind. The pumping ma chine of Mr. Zwicker, which was com pleted according to his first Ideas, stands in, the annex- on the north side of the buildings of the iron works, on East Water and Madison streets, and' since Its completion has been Inspected generally by railway officials and others. Of course. It is run byTthe force of the cur rent and pumps the water to the height required. As it stands, the general principles of the machine can be seen, and!' its con struction seems simple enough. It is to be anchored In, a stream of water, and then by means of gear the paddles are lowered Into the current, which sets the machine and pumps Into motion. There are two timbers side by side, about 24 feet long, 18x24, fastened together at both ends by securely bolted. beams. Th's is tho float. It presents little obstruction, to the current, and can be anchored In shallow or deep water, and passing drift will not interfere with it.

The paddle wheel Is 16 feet In di ameter, 'and each arm, at the end of which is a paddle, is eight feet long. It is built like an inverted umbrella, only the ribs of the wheel are not curved. The wheel Is attached to one of the tim bers on a pivot and Is lowered into the waer by tilting It over so the paddles will be caught by the ourrent. By taking an umbrella, turning It wrong side out and lowering on,a edge into the water one can have an Illustration of the pad dle wheel kof the machine. The force of the current will turn the umbrella on the handle. Mr. -Zwicker is not entirely sat isfied with the machine he has built, and saya he can 'do away with some of the parts and make It still more simple. In a short time it will be given a thorough test in the Columbia River. The present machine is designed to lift water 40 feet, and will have two pumps. One of the improvements will be to- use a. single pump. Worlc on Cone's Sawmill. A pile-driver is at work on the founda tion and dock of Cone Bros.' now saw mill, at Portsmouth, on the Marshall tract.- Considerable progress has been made on the main dock. At present, the driver is working shoreward and toward ,the bluff. The site for the mill-Is about 500 feet from the bluff across the flat, and it is -necessary to ubo long piles, so the mill will be above high-water mark, as It will stand where the water .overflows. The tops of the piles, after being driven, are 25 . feet above low-water mark. A roadway will extend back to the high bluff, and also there will be space for piling, lumber alongside the roadway. A new road up the bluff has been surveyed on a grade of above 6 per cent, which will provide easy access to the mill. The road will not interfere with the route of the proposed railway spur of the O. R. & N. to St. John. There is much work to be done beforo the piles are driven, the -surface .laid, the mill completed and the., new road finished to a connsctlon wltji the Willamette boulevard, but Mr. Cone said, yesterday he hopes for at least another month of favorable weather, when the mill will be under cover. He thinks the site a good one, and will not be troubled- with swift current when, mo water Is high, as It Is in a bend of the river. Next year the dock will bo ex tended out to the jetty. The families of men coming from Troutdale to work In this mill havo. all. moved, and Mr. Cone .says the remainder of the help required in. the operation of the mill will be picked up on the Peninsula. There are several men living at Portsmouth and University Park who work in the heart of the city andh; the mills. These will be given the preference, and they may thus secure employment near 'at home, saving much time and expense going and coming. Thigh Broken. Johnny Welger, a 15-year-old boy, whose parents live In Feurer's Addition, East Side, while attempting to board a Southorn Pacific locomotive 'at an early hour yesterday morning, at the Eighth street crossing, slipped, and, falling, sus tained the fracture of his right thih midway between his knee and hip. The engine was moving rapidly up the track and the boy made a grab for it. He caught hold, but his foot was held fast in tho roadway and he was thrown down on . the roadway with great force, but fortunately clear of the engine. He was removed to his "home, and Drs. Dav and C H. Raffety dressed the Injury. The boy will be laid up for about two months. East Side Notes.

IN THE WATER COMMITTEE irarW MAINS FOR SEVERAL BAST SIDE STREETS. East Twenty-eig?b.tb. Will Be Better Served Than Expected Proarroaa on Tunnels Under Sliding? Lands. A regular meeting of the "Water Com mittee was held yesterday. Chairman H. TV. Corbett presiding, and a quorum pres ent. The quarterly report of the receipts and expenditures of the committee required by law to be filed with the Auditor was read and approved, and the chairman and clerk directed to sign it and transmit it. The operating committee submitted its report of the operation of the works for the month of September, showing receipts and disbursements as follows: Cash receipts Disbursements .$26,435 26 ... 4,910 31 Balance paid treasurer ..-.......$20,525 01 The quarterly report of the treasurer wa3 submitted, showing the amount of cash on hand to be $115,960 SO, which agreed exactly with the books of the com mittee. A warrant was ordered drawn for the payment of $7500 Interest on East Port land water bonds. New Mains for the East Side. The construction committee, to which had been roferred a petition for the ex tension of a four-inch main on East Twentyelghth street, from East Ankeny to York avenue; reported that the engi neer had found that tho prospective In come from the extension would be suf ficient to pay interest on the cost. The committee had investigated the situation and had decided that the extension of the four-inch main was not desirable, as it was not large enough, and they considered It better that a six-Inch main should bo laid from a'dead end on East Stark street, to be eventually connected with a dead end on Irving street. They therefore recommended that a six-Inch main be laid on East Twenty-eighth street, from East Stark to the Sandy road. As this would answer the purposes of the pe titioners, and give them better service, the reconynendation of the committee was adopted, and the pipe ordered purchased and laid. In regard to tho petition for tho exten sion of the main on East Burnside to supply a number of new houses in that vicinity, tho committee decided to recom mend an extonslon from East Eighteenth to East Twenty-fourth streets, If thi3 would be satisfactory, and If the property-owners would not object to the tear ing up of the rotten planking on the street. On motion, the recommendation was adopted, providing that the property owners did not require tho committee to lay down, new planking. A-numerously signed petition was pre sented, asking for a four-inch main on Belmont street, from East Sixteenth to East Eighteenth. A number of houses in that neighborhood are inadequately supplied with water through a pipe laid by tho old East Portland "Water Com pany. It begins as a two-inch pipe and tapers down to a three-quarter-Inch pipe, and City Engineer Chase, who is on this line, says he has sometimes to wait for a drink, and the people on the pipe feel that they pay for what they do not got. The timber planking on Belmont street is in fair condition, and all the timber removed In tho laying-of the main, Mr. Chase stated, could, with ordinary care, be laid back. If the petition was granted Mr. Chase would guarantee that the com mittee would not be required to put down any new planking. On this understand ing the petition was granted. A petition for a main on East Thir tieth street and Hawthorne avenue was laid on tho table till next meeting. J. N. Teal called, the attention of the committee to the necessity which exists for a main from Northrup street north on Twenty-fourth to Lovejoy, and possibly one or two blocks west on Lovejoy. The matter was referred t6 the superintendent for investigation and report. Draining" the Sliding1 Lands. Engineer 'D. D.

Engineer Clarke submitted a report on the retaining wall at Sandy River, for the protection of the pipe-line bridge. He states that the pile-drivingr was completed October 1, and planking the inner face of the piling and the filling of the wall with brush and stone has been prosecuted continuously ever since.
