This will make a total of 9& mills, "with tne sinking fund tax excluded. The total schedule and esltmates will be pre sented to the Council at the special meet ing this afternoon. On the assessed valu ation of city property of 543.953.492, this tax -would yield a revenue of $47,558 19. The Council will probably pass the tax, and then adjourn until Friday, when the esti mates will be presented and considered. The Civil Service Commission did not organize yesterday, and It probably will not until the Legislature adjourns, and Mr. Hodson is thereby given time to at tend the meeting. When asked about the organization of the commission, Mayor Williams had nothing to say. From, in dications, a meeting will not be held until after the adjournment of the Legislature, and then overy applicant for positions In the Fire and Police Departments will "have to undergo examinations. No line of ques tions has been determined upon, but in substance these have been fixed specifical ly 'or the Police and Fire Departments: Place of nativity, ability to read and write, charges of perjury and other crimes, length and place of residence, and occupation. As to his physical condition the applicant will have to answer the question as to whether he has had rheum atism, and if so, when. Also, if he had ever served as a policeman or fireman before. The final question that will prob ably be propounded in the papers is: "Have you ever paid or promised to pay cr give any money or other consideration directly or indirectly for any aid or influ ence toward the procuring of your ap pointment? In speaking of the proposed civil service rules, Mayor Williams said yesterday: "All persons who have been appointed by me, except the heads of the different departments, must file an application for reappointment with the Civil Service Com mission. All those who desire positions under the city government must also file an application with the commission; all in the Police Department, except the Chief; all in the Fire Department, except the Chief; all in the Street Work Depart ments, except the Chief, and In the Water Board, except the superintendent and en gineer, all employes under the Park Com mission, except the superintendent, will have to file applications, as well as all persons desiring places in the different de partments. "These applications are to be filed with the City Auditor, and after tomorrow he will have blanks for the applicants to fill put, and from him they can procure them. "Several applications have ibeen filed with him already by those who not only desire appointments, but those who are now em ployed and desire to retain their po sitions." It has been announced officially that no applications for places will he received by the City Auditor for places in the Police and Fire Departments. All appli cations must be submitted to the Civil Service Commission, and passed on by that body. So it is inferred that no action will be taken upon any application until the board is legally organized. SECURE SCHOOL GROUNDS East Twcaty-Elgatli Street Associa tion Declares JCor Whole Block. Residents of the East Twenty-eighth-street district will make a vigorous effort to secure grounds for the erection of a echoolhpuse in the near future.

Vice-President J. D. Tresbam presided end Secretary W. T. Gardner read the minutes of the previous meeting. As to gas and electric lights, Mr. Gardner re ported that a call had been made on the general office of the gas company. As surances were given that a gas main would be extended out on East Burnside street. Assurances were also received Irom the electric light company that wires would be stretched so that people could soon be supplied with electric lights east of East Twenty-eighth street V The committee on police protection re ported that the new Chief of Police was 50 busy that he could not be seen on the subject, but would soon be interviewed. W. T. Gardner spoke of the need of se curing ground for a new schoolhouse in that districts The statement was made that the nearest school building was the North Central, on East Twelfth, and It was now overcrowded. F. 8. Doern becher moved that It was the sense of the association that the Board of Educa tion should take steps to secure a block of grdund for school purposes while It is available. This was carried. On mo tion the committee on school facilities, together witn the vice-president, was in structed to confer with, the Hawthorne es tate concerning school ground. Other committees reported to the effect that the new city government was just taking charre. and the several mutton: tn i presented to the department, including sewerage, are protection ana water, had. to be deferred for the present.

VICTORY FOR SHEEPMEN. 5 Federal Judge Denies Hitchcock's Power to Make Rules. SALT LAKE CIT, Jan. 26. Judge Mar shall, of the Unltea States District Court, today sustained the demurrer of the de fendant in the case of the United States against Frank Martinus, who was charged with running a band of 2000 sheep on the Fish Lake forest reserve, in violation of the rules formulated for the protection of forest reserves by the Secretary of the Interior. Judge Marshall states that Congress has exceeded its legislative power In empowering the Secretary of the Interior to make rules the violation of which would be a criminal act, and held that the law was unconstitutional. The decision Is regarded as one of the great est importance to- Utah sheepmen. A number of pending similar cases will be thrown out of court. The effect of Judge Marshall's decision will be to throw open to sheep and cattle Interests more than 1,000,000 acres of the choicest grazing land in the state, which for the past few years has been carefully protected by the Government. As soon as the situation becomes known. It is be lieved hundreds of thousands of sheep will be brought across the line from adjoin ing states, and the forest reserves will be dovered with sheep.

NEEDHAM, of- California, who was one of the members of the Congressional com! mitteo sent here as an escort to the re mains Of the late Thnmnc W Tnntrnn about the most ontimlstlr! mnn thf Pacific Coast has ever eent to the Na tional juegisiature. In talking about legis lation affecting the Coast he said: "This Sidft of thft bpm'snhnro l -I..C4- beginnlng to get what it deserves, eo far j vimivba is concernea. we are get ting money for irrigation, and for that we owe a great deal to Mr. Tongue and to Senator Mitchell. We are getting lib eral appropriations for harhnr Imnrm-o ment3, and we will get a contract to build ux least one 01 tne new battleships that Congress has ordered. "Congress knowa now where rolls the Oregon. It would have known it by this time even if we had never had a war with Snaln. but that tvav - .v,i i. to make the National Legislature know mat uiero was a pacific Coast. It was Our boiS Who went nvpr nnrt tnnlr Philippines, and if Uncle Sam ever wants uuyiiuns eise, wnetner it Is nailed down or not, we will go and get It for him. In return we will ask of him only the same favors that he grants to his people In the East. "And we will get them. Whether It is a contract to build a warship or an appro priation for harbor Improvements, Con gress today Is liberal to the Pacific Coast. Five years ago every city on the Coast would be at the mercy of a hostile power in time of war, but now we have a fleet to protect us that is equal to the Atlantic squadron. I do not want to eay anything that would make our conditions too war like, but in this connection it may be well to mention that most of the Central American revolutions are being equipped these days on the Pacific Coast When the Colombians need a gunboat they come up here for It, and any day now we may expect an order from President Castro for a regiment or two." NEVER In the history of the United States Navy has there been such a de mand for able-bodied men as there Is at present. Alt of Uncle Sam's warships in Pacific waters are' lacking full comple ments and more than 1000 men are needed to fill up the ranks. The scarcity of jackies and the resulting demand for en listments has caused the Navy Depart ment to hold out special Inducements for recruits. Not only in the seamen branch of the service but in all other depart ments more men are needed. There are now on this coast a number of war vessels which lack full comple ments and there are several which will soon go into commission and will need fcill crews. The cruiser Marblehead now Ving In the harbor is in need" of men. The monitor Wyoming is soon to go into commission and men are being sent to Mare Island to serve on her. The Wyo ming will be used as a gunnery ship and will cruise on the coast while training the men to handle the big guns." In speaking of the situation Lieutenant J. C. Burnett, the recruiting officer, who is in command of the recruiting offices on the coast, said: "Fully 1000 men are needed to enlist in the Navy In order properly to man ves sels on this coast and on the Asiatic sta tion. Men's terms are continually expir ing and others must be secured to take their places. A large number of men must be sent to the vessels on the Asiatic station. Particularly in the artificers' branches of the service is the demand for men strongest, the Navy Is offering $53 a month for coppersmiths, $37 a month for oilers and $40 a month for water tenders. Firemen will receive $35 a month and marine engineers holding licenses will be rated as machinists of the first-class, wltt pay of $70 a month. Examinations will be held for warrant machinists on Feb ruary 17, 1903, to which all machinists In the naval service are eligible. The pay of warrant machinists ranges from $1200 to $1800 a year." IF one may Judge by the business the hotels are doing, then Portland has reached the top wave of prosperity. A late arrival yesterday went to three be fore he was able to secure a room, and then he did not get as good a room as he wanted. Manager Phil Metschan, of the Imperial, said last night: "The transient demand for accommo dation In Portland Is simply phenomenal. Sometimes we find it this way in the Summer, bu seldom at this time of year. A good deal of our travel comes from the East, and most of It is of the com mercial sort, but Oregonlans themselves appear to be on the move. Read the registers at any .of the hotels today and you will see that four-fifths of the guests come from Oregon. I guess that business must be good and that people can afford to travel." THE local Chinese colony has arranged to bring to Portland the Chinese the atrical company now playing In San Fran cisco, and a play-house will bo found for them. The Chinese actor is practically a prisoner in this country, and the lovers of the native drama here will have to give heavy bonds to guarantee that he remains in custody. He is admitted Jnto the coun try under conditions which require this sort of guardianship, and It is said that the total bail of the San Francisco com pany will amount to $23,000. Of course the THE MORNING FLOODS DELAY TRAINS NONE FROM SAX FRANCISCO SINCE LAST SATURDAY. Road Expected to Be Cleared Today Train Will Arrive This Morning Rain Turns to Snow. No train has arrived through from Cali fornia since last Saturday evening. One Is expected in early this (Tuesday) morning. There has been trouble along the whole line, but trains were yesterday running without difficulty between Portland and Roseburg, and the road Is expected to be open all the way to Dunsmuir today. The weather is far from settled, however, and further delays may occur at exposed points. The telegraph lines have been in bad shape, too, and it has been impos sible to get satisfactory reports through. Starting out of Portland the first dam age was at Parrot Creek, just this side of New Era. A short distance above Salem the track was washed out, and on the" grade between the Harrlsburg bridge and Junction City a long piece of track was displaced, In the vicinity of Cottage Grove there were further washes, and at various points in the Umpqua Valley. Landslides caused much trouble In the Cow Creek Canyon. High water and soft banks disturbed the railroad track at ex posed places along the whole length of the road. Tr.cre was no Injury at all on the West SJde lines of the Southern Pacific. Though no train has arrived from Cali fornia for 2 days, there has been no miss in the number of trains dispatched for California, two going out every day from Portland. Not all these have carried the full equipment, however, some of them having only two or three day cars and no Pullmans at all. These were dispatched largely for the sake of the locaL traffic, to accommodate the people along the line. but thrnueh trnvplpN nlsn hail fho nrlvll- j cge ot nmng on tnem, tajcing tneir chances i of delay. It Is probable that some of the i trains will be canceled south of Roseburg. ! Along the Southern Pacific lines yester- day the rain had generally turned to snow, j The worst ot the trouble was regarded as THE TOWN money is released as soon as the men return to their own land. The San Fran cisco company seems to be a somewhat versatile organization, for an advertise ment says that If Includes not only the cleverest comedian from China, but tight rope walkers, jugglers, musicians and fire eaters. They will be In Portland for two weeks. "TP HE people that pureed up and down rI the streets of Portland were treated to n, little drama a day" or two ago that could not fall to leave an Impression In the minds of all those whose fortune It was to witness the performance. The dramatis personae were the fortune teller and his blrda that have attracted so much attention around the city lately, and a lineman of the Portland General Electric Company, and the scene of the action was on Third street, just south of Alder. The Italian and his birds have been in Portland for a number of days, and there has always been a good crowd gathered around his little show on the etreets. Yes terday he was located in the middle of the block on Third street between Morrison and Alder, and there were, as usual, many watchers viewing the birds as ' they told the fortunes of the inquisitive paa?ersby. It was well alone toward the middle of the afternoon, and business was brisk for the Italian and his little blrdlets. when one of them suddenly took, fright, and flew to the top of a nearby telegraph pole. There It sat, twittering and chirping on one of the croasarms full of wlra and cables. It was a desperate situation for the native of sunny Italy, and he wrung his hands In despair as he watched his lit tle pet perched high in the air and beyond all hope of rescue as It seemed to him. After much helpless gesticulation and ex cited ejaculations, he gave up and mutely watched the little mite, and It hopped from wire to wire, and looked saucily upon the crowd of people who had gath ered on the walk below to sympathize with the unhappy Italian. Then from the crowd stepped George Stinson, who was recently severely shocked by 6000 volts of electricity at the Union power house, with his hand still wrapped in thick bandages. Without a word he started up the pole, hanging with his one good hand, and catching the iron steps with the wrist of the injured mem ber. It was the hardest kind of work, but after a number of minutes' of gritty twisting and pulling, he at last reached the vicinity of the crossarms. and just within reach of the little fugitive. Only a few more steps and he would have his hand on the bird, and he redoubled his efforts, which were evidently very painful. Suddonly the bird chirped, and spreading its wings, soared in the air again to the top of the nearest building, far out of reach, and the plucky climber made his way slowly to the ground without his quest. THE enterprise undertaken by our pop ular bonlface, H. C. Bowers, in the pur chase of -the Lincoln Hotel at Seattle, will not rob our community of his presenceor managerlcal ability. The Lincoln will be conducted by his son-In-aw, Allan A. Wright, who, in point of fact, is Mr. Bower's successful pupil in hotel man agement Several people have asked the question, "Who is responsible for H. C. Bower's connection with the Hotel Port land?" and the answer is that Colonel R. W. Mitchell- pleads guilty to the charge of having had a hand in the transaction. The Colonel and Mr. Bowers were close friends In Washington, D. C, when Harry wafl clerk at the Arlington Hotel In the National Capital. It turns out that the manager of the Arlington, Theopolls Ros sclle. was an old friend of' the Colonel's In Albany, N. Y., when the latter was a page In the Senate and protege of Chauncey Mitchell Depew. Along about the boom days of '89, A. A. Newberry was owner of the Spokane Hotel at Spokane Falls, as it was then called, and had been an employe of Mr. Mitchell's some years previously. He had acquired wealth and purchased the hotel. He was In a quand ary as to change of management, and knowing Colonel Mitchell's Eastern con nections asked him where he could get a good manager, suggesting in his Inquiry one of the Lelands. Mr. Mitchell said, ."There was only one Leland. and he Is dead," referring to Warren. "Warren was head and front of the whole family," but It so happened that Charles Leland was brought out and placed In charge of the Portland, and failed to achieve the eucp cess that was expected. At Mr. Mitchell's suggestion Mr. Bowers was Induced to come to Spokane by Mr. Newberry, and In a few months made the Spokane a success Subsequently a change in management for the Portland was decided upon, and Mr. Mitchell, In connection with S. B. Willey urged upon the Board of Directors of the Portland Hotel Company to employ Mr. Bowers. The matter of salary could not be arranged, and Nelson Bennett, then owner of the Tacoma at Tacoma, grasping the situation, secured Mr. Bowers for his hotel. The fame of the Tacoma under Mr. Bowers' management spread abroad in the land. This attracted the attention of the late Henry Failing, and Mr. Mitchell was authorized to telegraph Mr" Bowers to come to Portland. A business agreement was arrived .at In 15 minutes. From the first day that Mr. Bowers took charge of the Portland, Its business man agement has been a success, and dividends have accrued. Eastern visitors pronounce it the best conducted hotel In the United States or, abroad. s 1 OBEGOyiAN, TUESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1903.

HAROLD BAUER Another distinguished pianist has Just completed a tour of concerts in Spain, during which time he played before the Queen. Bauer then went to Portugal and played In Lisbon to the Queen of Portu gal, who conferred upon him the decora tion of Knight of the Order ot St Thlago. This latter Is the highest obtainable dis tinction for achievement In the field of nrt Prior to his Spanish tour Bauer played 15 concerts in Holland, using the MASON & HAMLIN piano. THEODORE THOMAS Whose symphony concerts at music halls at the Columbia Exposition, at Chicago, in 1S93. attracted and delighted thousands of music-lovers, used the FISCHER, a piano that- took highest honors at same exposition. Much could bo said about other high grade pianos we handle, such as the LUDWIG. the piano that took high hon ors at the Paris Exposition, 1900. and highest honors at the Pan-American, 1901; the old reliable STECK. the ever-popular HARDMAN. the PACKARD and many others, but space forbids.

It will take a day or two to clear up everything. William Maxwell, the only passenger who was seriously Ipjured in the accident, was yesterday said to be in a fair way toward recovery. Two inches of snow fell along the whole length of the Columbia Southern Rail road yesterday, and the mercury was down to 28 above zero, which will hold the snow without melting. This Is good for crops, and causes the railroad no in convenience whatever. Railroads Get More Time. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 26.
