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.

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

was S6 years old. lived with his sister.

Ireland. They were devotedly attached to

Miss Seymour died. Six minutes later her

MACHINE GETTING READY
REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE
HOLDS - MEETING.
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

and were taking it way in rowboats, and

from the mill to the river, and on sev
