MAYOR STEPS DOWN
His Act Marks End of Citi
zens1 Rule at Salem.
REPUBLICANS TO TAKE' HOLD
After Three Terms at Head of Capi
tal City's Government, Mayor
Bishop Returns to Business
His Rule of Economy.
SALEM. Or., Nov. 17. (Special.) Mayor
C P. Bishop tendered hLs resignation, as
Mayor of Salem tonight, and his successor
will be choson at the annual city election
next month. His reason for resigning was
that his private business requires so much
of his time that he cannot longer give
his attonUon to the duties of the Maor
alty Mr. Bishop was first elected Mayor
In 1SBS, -was re-elected In 1900 and 1902,
end Is now In the middle of his third term,
He Is a Republican, but was elected each
time at the head of the "Citizens' " ticket
end la opposition to the Republican nom-.
lnees. During the flve years ot his in
cumboncy tho city government has been
In the control of tho "Citizens' " admin
istration. It is generally conceded by those who
2mve been leaders in the citizens' move
ment that this year marks the close of the
nonpartisan city administration, for the
present, at least, and that at the coming
Uectien tho Republicans will elect Alder
men with practically no opposition. There
is now no movement whatever looking- to
the nomination of a nonpartisan ticket,
whilo the Republicans have made all ar
rangements to place their candidates In the
field. The Republicans have adopted the
r4an of nominating their candidates upon
the direct nomination plan, using one bal
lot for all candidates, so that there will
be absolute fairness to all, and no oppor
tunity for a charge that the candidates
have been named by a "ring."
In the last flvo years the citizens of Sa
lem have learned what can be done In the
way of reducing expenses if a determined
effort is made. When the citizens' regime
was Inaugurated, the city had a total
bonded debt of $155,181 and a floating debt
of about JS3.0W, or a total of J23S.181. The
city was then running behind each year
and piling up the floating debt. Today
the total debt is approximately $220,181, or
a reduction of 518,030. During tho five
years the city has not only stopped tho
increase In debt, but has paid off JJS.OOO
of the debt that had accrued when the
citizens' regime took charge. By bonding
M5,( of the floating debt, the rate of in
terest was reduced from 8 per cent to 4
rr cent, effecting a saving of 52600 a year
The present debt was due largely to the
construction of the City Hall, the steel
bridge and some sewers, but also in some
measure to a programme of extravagance.
While tho present administration has not
made such extensive permanent improve
ments as its predecessors, the streets and
crosswalks are in a better condition than
they have ever been before, and the city
government is running smoothly and satis
factorily. Salem is Republican by a good major
ity. In returning to Republican rule. It Is
the belief of those who have been Instru
mental in maintaining the citizens' ad
ministration that the Republicans will be
careful to keep the city expenditures with
in the income. It Is declared that, when
ever the Republicans give evidence of pur
suing any other policy than this, the citi
sons' nonpartisan movement will be re
lived, and with confidence in success. The
nomination of successful business men
with clean personal and political records
is the demand among Republicans of the
city, and if this purpose is carried out it
is quite certain that there will be but one
ticket in the city election.
LET NO AMERICANS IN.
Canadian Politician Fights Land
Concession to Spokane Men.
VANCOUVER. B. C, Nov. 17. The anti
American cry has been raised by J. A.
Macdonald, of Rossland, leader of tho
opposition. In the by-election contest here,
on which tne fortunes of the McBrlde
Government rest. Speaking of the rich
coal and oil lands In East Kootenay which
Spokane men have applied for, Mr. Mac
donald said:
"I understand the government intends to
grant some of these. I say they ought to
be refused. It would have been far better
that the Canadian Pacific Railway should
have had these two blocks than that they
should go to these men (Americans). I
understand that since the general election
the government has Issued 67 licenses to
a Spokane syndicate. I don't believe In
having our territory annexed. We have
lost enough territory In that direction re
cently, without losing any more. In fact
I believe that one of the men who cat on
the Alaska, boundary tribunal (Senator
Turner, of Spokane) who sat there pre
sumably as an arbitrator but really as an
advocate Is Interested in these Spokane
licenses."
It is pointed out that It Is probable that
this anti-American cry is only an election
dodge on tho part of the leader of the
opposition.
It is. howovor, a fact that there is not
a little objection to the Spokane, or any
other Americans, obtaining this valuable
.and, because Canadians are not allowed
like privileges across the line
Wednesday Is polling day here In the
provincial by-election which will decide
the fate of the McBrlde government. Hon.
roarles Wilson, Attornej'-General, Is
seeking re-election on being given the
portfolio, and he has as his opponent Mr.
Stuart, a Liberal. If Mr. Stuart Is elected
th government, which now has a major
Itj of two", will have that majority wiped
out and will be unable to carry on the
administration. In view of the fact that
Mr Wilson was elected to the assembly
a few weeks ago with a plurality of sev
eral hundred over his nearest Liberal
pponent. and because also of his pres
tige as a Cabinet Minister office-holding
ges a long way in by-elections It is ex
pected that the Minister will .retain his
teat. In view, however, of the Important
consequences, every Important man on
either side Is taking a part In the contest.
Premier McBrlde and leader of the op
position Macdonald have both been here
to address the electors and there certainly
has been an abundance, if not a feast, of
oratory.
TO TEACH INDIANS TO FARM.
Government Encourages Agricultural
College Graduates to Serve.
SALEM. Or., Nov. 17. (Special.) Special
Injector Levi Chubbuck, of the Depart
ment of Indian Affairs, ls at Chemawa
Indian Training School examining tho con
ditions at that Institution. Aside from the
general work of his position, Mr. Chub
buck Is giving particular attention to the
operation of a new rule that has been
made by the department whereby gradu
ates of t.state agricultural colleges are
given an opportunity to secure positions In
Indian training school work. Heretofore
all applicants for positions In tho Indian
schools were required to take the civil
scrvico examination. Under the new rule
the graduates of agricultural colleges are
placed upon the eligible list upon the
strength of their examinations at their
several schools, and upon an equality with
thoe Who ihave tpasscd .the civil service
examinations. - v.
The purpose of this rule is to secure
for the Indian training schools instructors
Jn agriculture and other Industrial
branches, men who have had special train
ing in that line of work. It does not al
ways follow that, because a man Is a good
farmer and can conduct the work of the
"farm, successfully himself, he will be a
competent Instructor In technical and
practical agrlcultuie. Gradtxates from ag
ricultural colleges have not only the.
knowledge of agriculture, but have also
the training which should make them good
Instructors. In making appointments, the
department considers not only the stand
ing of the graduates as shown by tho re
sults of his examination, but also the
work he has done .since graduation.
Mr. Chubbuck will also visit thd State
Agricultural College at Corvallls before
leaving ' .e state.
IN HONOR OF DR. M'LOUGHLIN
Plan to Preserve His Old Home and
Erect Monument to Him.
OREGON CITY,. Or., Nov. 17j-(Speeial.)
An effort has been started by the Ore
"gon City Lewis and Clark Club to ac
quire ownership of the old Phoenix house,
at one time the residence of, Dr. John
McLoughlln. This structure, still stands
on Mam street, opposite the woolen Mills,
and Is said to be the oldest building in
historic Oregon "City. If the present
owners will not donate the building for
the purposes desired, tho club will strive
to raise the necessary funds to purchase
It.
Tho building will be repaired and pre
served in memory of the late Dr. Mc
Loughlln, if the club comes Into posses
sion, and It will be fitted up as. a library
and clubrooms and placed at the disposal
of the residents of this city.
Tho subject of raising funds for the
erection at ,a suitable site of a monument
in honor of Dr. McLoughlln was also dis
cussed at. the club meeting today, which
was the most largely attended of the
year. Committees have been named to
ascertain the cost of purchasing a site
and erecting a monument. An effort will
.be made to interest the City Council in
the project.
While the meeting today was devoted
almost entirely to the discussion of mat
ters pertaining to a perpetuation of the
memory of Dr. McLoughlln, the session
was also partly in honor of Mrs. Emma
Galloway, state organizer ot Women's
Clubs, who will soon remove from this
city to McMInnvIlle.
' COUNTY RECORDS SAVED.
Slanders on Tillamook Officials Si
lenced by This Fact.
TILLAMOOK, Or., Nov. 17. Tillamook
Courthouse, which was completely de
stroyed by fire early Saturday morning,
was insured for $2S00- The county officials
have been gathering up today what was
saved out of their respective offices. Sher
iff Alderman's safe was pried open, as was
also the vault In the Clerk's office. Noth
ing was damaged in the vault, but some
of the books and papers In the Sheriff's
safe were singed. It was thought the
taxrolls of 1899 and 1900 were destroyed,
but It seems that some of the members
of tho fire company saved these tax rolls,
and It was not ascertained until today
that they were not burned. This is a
great saving to the county, for they con
tain about 510,0o0 delinquent taxes. Su
perintendent G. B. Lamb, besides losing
everything connected wlh his olfice, also
lost a small library. The loss to the
county is not so much as was at first
thought.
As the county officials' books were be
ing audited, all manner of Idle reports
have been circulated as to the origin of
the fire, it being stated by several per
sons a week previous that the Courthouse
would be burned. Some .at first thought
one of the county officials was Implicated,
but now that all the books have been re
covered and the auditing will go on the
same, sentiment seems to have entirely
changed, and, if the Courthouse was set on
fire, it must have been done by those who
wanted to cast reflections upon the oounty
officials. The general opinion is that the
fire originated in a flue.
ROPE FOR WIFEBEATER.
Brutal Husband Narrowly Escapes a
Hurried Elevation.
OAKLAND, CaL, Nov. 17. John Col
bert, a young man who has been work
ing here for some time as a solicitor, had
a narrow escape from being lynched for
wifebeatlng yesterday afternoon. A
crowd of about 50 men held him a cap
tive on Eighth street, near Center, and
had sent a man for a rope, whrn the
police effected a rescue.
Mrs. Colbert has been living at 1276
Eighth street since she parted from her
husband, recently, and Instituted proceed
ings for divorce.
This afternoon Colbert went to the
house for the purpose of asking her to
return and live with him. She refused
to have anything to do with him. That
so aroused the man that he made a sav
age attack on her. Trio motorman of a
passing electric car stopped his car and
with tho conductor and some of the pas
sengers rushed to the woman's rescue.
"Get a rope; got a rope," was the cry,
and one of the men was hurried away to
a Seventh-street store for the only thing
that was needed to make a hanging.
Before the rope arrived, though, the po
lice learned of the attempt at lynching
and made a rush for the prospective vic
" tlm. The crowd cave wav before the
show of police authority and allowed the
officers to take Colbert into custody and
hurry him away to the city prison.

ALL ITS CAMPS CLOSE
BOOTH-KELLY COMPANY
PENDS LOGGING.
SUS-
Inablllty to Secure Cars Paralyzed
Chief Industry of Lane County
Mills Also Half Idle.
EUGENE, Or., Nov. 17. (Special.)
Rumors have been current here for some
time to the effect that the force of opera
tives of tho Booth-Kelly Lumber Company
would be greatly reduced and some of
thevcamps and mills permanently closed.
It is now given out by the company that
all the logging camps have been ordered
to cease work on Saturday of this week
for an Indefinite period. This Indefinite
period means until cars can be had to
market the product of the mills, and also
a market opens.
Of the four mills in this county, the one
at Wendllng has been practically Idle for
some time, and the one at Saginaw Is
permanently closed. The largest mill
of the company, which Is at Springfield,
Is only running a part of the time, and
the one at Coburg has been able to run
almost full time. But at these places the
lumber Is piling up In the yards until
nllllons of feet are now stacked and the
congestion Is such that the company
soon expects to be compelled to stop Its
saws altogether.
This means a good deal In this county,
for the business of the company has been
by long' odds the greatest revenue pro
ducer In the county, and the stopping of
the wheels will mean the laying off of a
large number of men who have been em
ployed at good wages.
The company gives as a reason for clos
ing Its mills the Inability to secure cars
for shipment of lumber. It has had the
same experience as all Northwest mills
have had In the famine of cars for trans
portation, and on account of this diffi
culty a large trade which it enjoyed In
California has been lost with some doubt
of Us ever being reclaimed.
While the other mills. In the Northwest
are complaining against the Southern Pa
cific Company on account of its discrimi
nation in freight rates and alleging It Is
done to give the interior mills an advan
tage, the Booth-Kelly people look at the
matter In a different light.- They envy
the mlllmen on the Sound and on the
Columbia Biver. They certainly have an
advantage In that they are not at the
mercy of the railroad, but can get their
product to market whether the Southern
Pacific wishes to carry it or not. But with
the Booth-Kelly people the Southern Pa
cific Is their only means of getting to
market with their Immense product and,
if tho Southern Pacific cannot or will not
carry It, then it must remain In the yards
or In the forests.
What does It matter to the company if
it has the advantage of a 53.10 rate as
against a ,57.60 rate for Portland if there
are no cars? Its customers In California,
when they cannot get what they want will
go where they can get It, and thus it Is
the Booth-Kelly Company Is having
trouble keeping Its market and supply
ing the demand for its product. This Is
the reason that all the logging camps are
ordered to close and the mills have nearly
ceased to saw. It Is a hard blow to the
business Interests of this county especial
ly, but there seems no remedy within the
reach of the business people. The South
ern Pacific alone can make the matter
different, and this end of the Willamette
Valley Is getting a realization of Its com
plete dependence upon a single corpora
tion. BRAKEMAN CLAIMS DAMAGES.
InJUred In Jumping to Escape Wreck
on Southern Pacific.
OREGON CITY. Or., Nov. 17. (Special.)
The 515.003 damage suit of ex-Brakeman
Hartlgan against the Southern Pacific
Company was begun in the Circuit Court
today. But three witnesses for the plain
tiff were Introduced, and the case will not
be concluded before Thursday evening.
Some trouble was had In getting a jury,
a number being excused. The 12 men
finally secured were James Evans, T. M.
Cross. Fred Miller, Walter Klrchem,
James Shlbley, Fred Ely, P. T. Davis, Gil
bert Randall, J. R. Morton, D. B. Martin,
C. Balr and C. G. Millard.
Hartlgan was formerly employed by the
defendant company as brakeman. Last
February an extra freight on which he
was employed left the track near Oswego.
Hartlgan jumped down an embankment
and suffered a compound fracture of both
bones In the right lesr below the' knee. As
a consequence, Hartlgan Jnlleges that he
has Veenp'ermanehtly crippled and li un-'
1 able to work. He asks damages in the
GAINING GROUND
t
sum of 515,000, contending that the acci
dent resulted from the defective condition
of the company's roadbed at the scene of
the mishap.
The railroad company as a defense will
hold that Hartlgan Is an experienced rail
road' employe, and during the time of his
service with the company knew of the
condition of the roadbed, accepted em
ployment with that knowledge, and as
sumed the ordinary risks involved In tho
discharge of his duties. Hartlgan will
also be charged with contributory negli
gence because of the manner In which he
leaped from, the train. Absence of any
real permanent injury from the accident
will also constitute a part of the defense
by the railroad company.
Hartlgan was the principal witness to
day, and related the circumstances attend-
Ing the wr,eck and the Injury he sustained,
A former section foreman for the railroad
company, employed at the scene of the
accident, testified as to tho condition of
tho roadbed on the West Side division,
which he said Is somewhat Inferior to that
of the company's main line.

ANY OLD THING FOR MONEY
COUNTERFEIT-BILLS AND BOGUS
DRAFTS ARE CASHED.
One Swindler Goes Free at ,La
Grande, but Another Is Captured
at Pendleton on Several Charges.
LA GRANDE. Or., Nov. 17. (Special.)
Another attempt was made last night
to pass counterfeit money In La Grande,
and In one Instance It worked. He went
to the Cedar Valley saloon, produced 510
after a drink or two, and received the
change. He then went to Pap's chophouso
and tried the same game, "ordering a
meal. After eating he handed the night
clerk 510 of the same stamp, but the
clerk said he could not change It. The
counterfeiter then pulled out some more
of the bogus money and a ?5 bill.
The clerk suspected him and told him he
could have the meal. He walked away
and the clerk and others began to Inves
tigate, and found that the money had
been passed at the saloon. They are still
searching, for the man, but he has left the
city. Officers have been notified In sur
rounding towns.
His game Is the same that has been
worked at Seattle, Tacoma and Portland,
and all along the Coast towns, and the
class of spurious money has been adver
tised In all of the papers. It Is an old
Issue from a New Brunswick plate, which
became defunct several years ago.
Another man, named C. L. Martin, is
now In the tolls at Pendleton for passing
worthless checks, and It has turned out
that he passed one In La Grande before
that. On October 24 he was In the city
and got Smith & Paddock to cash a
worthless check for 520 on the First Na
tional Bank of Chicago, representing that
he was traveling for an electric supply
house in Chicago, the Watllng Manufac
turing Company, and was short of funds.
They sent It to the Chicago bank and it
was returned marked "No funds." In a
letter to Ofllcer Cotner, Sheriff Taylor,
of Umatilla County, states that he has
Martin in jail on the charge of passing
a worthless draft on citizens of that place.
This time he drew a draft on the Wat
llng Manufacturing Company and had It
cashed. The check was dishonored and
the Sheriff caught Martin In Walla Walla.
The Sheriff Btates that as soon as the trial
is over, should the fellow come clear, he
will hold him subject to orders from La
Grande.
