TO Raise Teachers' Saiuues. The Board of School Directors will meet In a day or two to take action on the pro posed new schedule of salaries for teach ers In the public schools. It is pretty definitely understood that the new sched ule will be adopted. One of the directors would be willing: to vote the Increased Balaries to go into effect at the beginning of the next school year. Others, how ever, are in favor of the new schedule going Into effect from the beginning of the present term. They say the matter was submitted to the taxpayers at their annual meeting, the new schedule wa adopted by them, and an increased levy bufllcient to meet the increase In salaries was voted, so the new schedule was in dorsed by the taxpayers and should go into effect at once. The only objection made to this Is on the ground that the board has virtually made a contract with the teachers for the year at the old rates. The Indorsement of the new schedule by the taxpayers Is considered a sufficient answer to this objection, and there is practically no doubt but that the teach ers will receive the Increased salaries from the beginning of this term. Old Buildings Are Tonu Down. The kind of building operations most in favor yceterday and best adapted to such weath er was the tearing down of old buildings to make room for new ones. A good start was made on the old wooden building ad joining the First National Bank, which Is to be replaced by an addition to the bank. The workmen were careful not to tear the roof off any faster than neces sary. A contractor was seen looking over the roof timbers of a building from the shelter of an umbrella, but the workmen had gone home. A lot of men and teams were at work on the excavation at First and Oak, shoveling and hauling mud, while a man was operating, a pump to empty the pond in the center of the prop erty. They stuck to the work well, but finally the rain routed them, horse and foot. Chahged- With Assaulting Wife. The matrimonial difficulties of Henry Meyer and his wife Anna Meyer is a saloon keeper at Sixteenth and Washington streets came up In Municipal Judge Cam eron's Court, yesterday, when a warrant was Issued calling for Meyer's arrest, charged with assaulting his wife. He promptly accompanied the officer to the police station, taking his little daughter with him, and refused to give up the lat ter. He arranged for bail for his appear ance at court, and then went home again. Mrs. Meyer has sued her husband for di vorce, charging him with cruelty and drunkenness. She asks for $40 per month alimony and $150 attorney's fees. The couple were married in this city in 1SS1. Oregon Products roa Charleston. A quantity of Oregon products was sent to Charleston yesterday for the state ex hibit there, by the Board of Horticulture. G. H. Lamberson, secretary of the board, says that it will probably be the last to bo to the Oregon display- at the Charleston Exposition. It consisted chiefly of pine needle fibers from 'Warrendale, some large potatoes, and a quantity of meats and vegetables preserved In glass jars. The shipment consisted of 12 packages. Mr. Lamberson is awaiting- the probable order from Colonel Dosch of chlnook salmon and Oregon prunes, for the President's diet when ho goes to Charleston. First Bet on Primaries. The first bet on the result of the primaries In any one ward was registered yesterday. The par ticipants were Fred I. Olsen, a well known young lawyer, and Deputy Con stablo Lou Wagner. Mr. Wagner wagered $5 that the antl-Simoa Republicans would not secure a majority of the delegation from the First Ward. Mr. Olsen took the bet, and offered $10 more that Simon would not get the maiority of the First Ward delegation and $25 that Simon would not carry the Ninth Ward, but he found no takers.

Hoop-Pouo Max in Town. The hoop pole timber of this region Is far from be ing exhausted, and the barrel-hoop busl nese is still a flourishing one. Some 40 or 60 persons are engaged In It and the hoops are mostly sent to San Francisco to be used in making lima barrels. Yes terday one of the hoopmaker, who looked as If he had been graduated in Hooppole County, Indiana, came Into town with a load of 20 bundles of basel hoops, 100 in a bundle. A dealer looked over them and pronounced them rather slim and also too green. He said the maker should have given them more time to dry, which sounded like a Joke, as the rain was pouring down in torrents. He said that hoops shipped before they were dried out a little would mold in the bundles. However, he finally bought them at 60 cents per bundle, a little over half a cent apiece. Just how a man can go out Into the brush, hunt up. and cut hazels, split them to the proper size for hoops, ana then shave them smooth and true, bun dle them and haul them to town through the mud, for O.C of a pent apiece Is a con undrum. Good, straight hazels must be selected, as they must be split some of the larger ones into half a dozen hoops. The hoop-pole man Is a peculiar genius who lives in the brush on the edge of civilization and never gets thoroughly civ ilized himself, but he is an expert in his line, of business, or he would starve. Prospect of Suburban Trollex Line. Residents of the region east of this city who have been hoping and longing for an electric motor line to bring them in closer connection with Portland now see a pros- q ROCKPILE NOW HAS NO TERRORS. The rockplle was deserted yesterday, as there was only one prisoner "doing' time" at the City Jail, and he was re quired to act as caretaker. The police pretend that the hobos have left town, and do not care to return and face the rockplle proposition. Tet there are plenty of gentlemen of leisure hanging around sa loons in Whltechapel, feeding and drinking at somebody's expense. Weary Willies who were never known last year to have 10 cents to bless them selves with have suddenly blossomed Into men of money, and they emoke 10-cent cigars and eat four times every day. They still cling to their tat tered wardrobe, however. Yes terday a, blear-eyed old sinner who was drinking beer at Bla zler's place said to a bar tender: "Gimme -another schooner. Wish it was elec tion time all the year-round. Here's yer money, and there's plenty In store where that comes from. You bet.-" pect of their hopes being realized. One or more routes for such a road are being surveyed, presumably by the Portland City & Oregon Railway Company, and the development of that section which is now beginning makes the constructiori of such a line feasible. Farmers are mak ing all sorts of concessions in the matter of rights of way and say they are tired of hauling over muddy roads, and will do all that can reasonably be expected in order to secure an electric railway. The people of Sandy expect the road'to reach them and to be continued from there to Mount Hood, and citizens 'of Gresham are offering to bet that there will be an elec tric line from Portland to that town with in six months. Death of Harris Seymour. iTany of the older residents of Portland may re member Harris Seymour, who was en gaged here In mercantile business 30 years ago, and after amassing a competence went back tollreland. Mr. Seymour, who was S6 years old. lived with his sister. Miss Seymour, 76 years old, at Limerick, Ireland. They were devotedly attached to each other, and February IS, at 9:14 P. M., Miss Seymour died. Six minutes later her brother died. They had both been sick, and she had been his devoted nurse. Thirstt Burglars Rob Saloon.

It- Rains in the East, Too. It is a re markable thing that people who have es caped by the skin of their teeth from the flooded regions of the East where 6o much property has been swept away by water, and so many people rendered homeless, should think it proper or polite or necessary to make sarcastic remarks about it always raining in Oregon.

Everything Left to "MaHaglBg Com mittee" Primary Candidate "Will Be Sines Men," Says Plamraer. Members of the Republican County Central Committee and the advisory com mittee met last evening to consider plans for the coming campaign and to prepare for the primaries which take place on March 15. The meeting was held in- the office of the chairman. Dr. O. P. S. Plum, mer, and was attended by the following: O. P. S. Plummer, Edward Holman, K. F. Robinson, Donald Mackay and F. A. Bailey, of the County Central Committee; and W. E. Harris, L W. Pratt, W. J. Miller, Charles Cleveland, Peter Hobklrk, Dr. Emmett Drake, E. H. Kilham, George H. Hill, N. D. Beutgen and Edward Ev erett of the advisory committee. W. S. Dunlway, secretary of the County Central Committee, was also present the only ab sent members being Charles F. Beebe and Graham Glass, Jr. There was a long discussion of the vari ous clauses of the Lockwood act, and its general bearing upon the coming pri maries. Finally a motion prevailed where by the chair appointed a committee of three, the chair included, to be known as the "managing committee." The two as sociate members appointed were F. A. Bailey and Edward Holman. The com mittee was Instructed to ascertain the probable time required for counting" the primary ballots, and then to recommend a suitable date for the county conven tion. The committee was also Instructed to recommend a ratio of apportionment of delegates and to furnish a list of candi dates for the primary ballot to County Clerk Swetland. In short all matters per taining to the primary election were en trusted to the committee. It being under stood that the Central Committee will be called together whenever the exigencies of the situation may demand. An Ore gonlan reporter was denied admittance to the meeting, and it is not known Just what other business was transacted.' The managing committee win meet this morning when the apportionment of dele gates will be made. When seen after the meeting last evening Chairman O. P. S. Plummer said: "The managing committee in its selection of candidates from the several precincts will be governed by suggestions from the Republicans of those precincts. As the faction of the party that is inimical to Senator Simon does not care to support the regular candidates, It is quite likely that the candidates will be Simon men. We are Republicans and we propose to support the nominations of regular Republican candidates. Personal ly, I am friendly to Senator Simon." It is quite evident that the Simon ma chine, which controls the central commit tee, is endeavoring to delay the nomina tion of candidates for the primary ticket as long as possible. The law distinctly states that these nominations must be in the hands of the County Clerk at least four days prior to the day on which the primaries are held. Therefore, these' nom inations cannot be made later than Tues day. By delaying the matter as long as possible the machine hopes to keep inde pendent Republicans In the dark until the lost moment, so that the candidates will not know who their opponents will be. NINTH "WARD ANTI-MACHINE CLTJn. A Landnlldc Wa Predicted In All the East Side Wards Agalnnt Simon. An enthusiastic meeting of the Ninth Ward Republican Club was held last night at No. 25 Burkhard building, on Grand avenue, H. H. Newhall presiding. At this meeting the constitution and by-laws were adopted. The club was originally started to encourago registration and to oppose "machine" politics. The following dec laration of purposes and principles was unanimously adopted: Corruption and wanton disregard of the wishes of the people in our election is a prevailing- fault Belns fostered and protected by the so-called "machine' the Inevitable result Is to discourage the honest voter from partici pating in and exercising the great right and liberty of casting his ballot free from the co ercion of the machine and bosslsm; therefore, to see and demand an honest and fair count of the ballot and that wo may have a gov ernment for the people and by the people. It has become necessary to take not alone indi vidual, but united action to purify the ballot We believe In the Australian ballot and the registration law and all legislation tending to protect an honest ballot and facilitate the ac complishment of a reform In this direction thb club has been formed, and Its members agree to work to carry out the principles set forth In this declaration. After the adoption of the rules short talks were made by J. E. Hunt John Sharkey, J. W. Bevcridge, F. E. Oldson Thomas Hlslop and John H. Hall. Each spoke for his particular section, to the effect that tho drift of Bcntiment was against machine politics. Mr. Hall spoke at some length, in which he said that the coming' primary election was important for the Republican party for the reason that It afforde an opportu nity to wipe out bosslsm, that had made it possible for one or two men to name the ticket Heretofore In the conventions a printed list of the candidates was passed around among the delegates to vote. The ticket had been printed before the conven tions met with hardly a mistake. It had been made by one or two men. Now was the opportunity, said Mr. Hall, to put an end to this one-man power in this city and county and provide a way for an ex pression by the rank and file of tho party, whose only duty heretofore had been to ratify the slate which had already been made out Mr. Hall said that every kind of scheme would be adopted by the "ma chine," and an attempt would be made to divide the votes of those who are op posing the Simon machine, and he cau tioned every one to be on his guard. Mr. Hall concluded his remarks by saying it was In the alt that the Simon machine would certainly be defeated. Reports were received from the Eighth and .Tenth Wards, and all were to the effect that there would be a landslide against the Simon machine in all the East Side wards. After further discussion It was decided to keep the hall In the Burk. hard building, 25 Grand avenue, open every evening during the present and next week. JS HE A RIVER PIRATE? Joha "Wells Faces Charge of Stealing; Iroa oa tae Water Front. A formidable-looking legal document faced John Wells, who Is supposed to be implicated with a gang of river pi rates, yeBterday, before Municipal Judge Cameron, when he stood up to answer a charge of stealing iron filings and scrap iron from the Willamette Steam Mill, Lum bering & Manufacturing Company, at tho foot of Savier street The warrant, sworn to by George W. Woidler, stated that the defendant, February 27, "did steal and carry away. Iron filings valued at 575. and one ton of scrap iron valued at 515." Wells looked dazed when he heard tho charge, and he pleaded not guilty, and was held In ball ,for a further hearing. Since Detectives Snow and Kerrigan ar rested the Brown brothers, several months ago, charged with stealing scrap iron from the Weidler 'mill property tho Brown boys are now serving a sentence of six months in Jail the police became aware that other river pirates were steal ing scrap iron from 'the mill at night and were taking it way in rowboats, and thdn on wagons, to parts unknown. Snow end Kerrigan found footprints leading from the mill to the river, and on sev eral occasions they rowed about the river In a boat but never met the pirates. Large Iron caps and pieces of brass con tinued to be taken, until "Jt was discov ered that the thieves had carried off plun der valued at J600.
