MlLTTATJKIE ELECTION WILL BD HOT
Contest. The main contest in the Mll
waukie election is between the village
blacksmith. Cap Kerr, and the cheese
maker, William Schindler. the present in
cumbent of the mayoralty. Mr. Kerr
heads the Independent and Mayor Schin
dler the Citizens' ticket. The former has
a blacksmith shop on Main street, where
he has been located for a number of years.
Mayor Schindler has been a resident for
the past 20 years, and owns considerable
property in Mllwaukie. Yesterday the
campaign In the old town was begun in
earnest, and very few of the candidates on
either ticket thought much about church
or Sunday school. It will be the warmest
contest that has been held, in Mllwaukie
since incorporation. There is no money
in any of the offices except in that of
Recorder and Marshal, and there is very
little for these, but the honor is consid
ered very great and sufficient compensa
tion for the arduous duties that must be
performed. As the candidates on both
tickets have declared in favor of treating
the electric railway company with fair
ness, the fight is stripped of an issue, and
the result will probably hinge on the per
sonal popularity of the various candidates.
Politics is not mentioned.
Two Saxitakiums at Mount Tabor.
There seems to be a mistaken idea in the
minds of many people in regard to the dls
Unction between the Portland Sanitarium
and the Crystal Springs Sanitarium. These
institutions are both located at Mount
Tabor, but the Portland Sanitarium, that
was formerly located in South Portland, Is
now located in the large red building on
west avenue and Mount Tabor car line.
This institution is in no way connected
with the Mount Tabor Sanitarium and
does not receive Insane patients. This ex
planation is called for because of the idea
prevailing in the minds of so many that
the institution located at "West avenue
was the one that suit was being brought
against by the citizens of Mount Tabor, to
have removed. This is a mistake, as this
institution does not pretend to treat men
tal cases and has never had anything to
do with the Alaska insane patients.
St. Johns Water Tested. Professor
A. R. Sweetser, of the State University,
and Dr. Woods Hutchinson, of the State
Board of Health, have been making tests
of the water served the citizens of St.
John, and both agree that the water is
pure and wholesome. These tests were
made at the request of the company to as
certain the cause of some odor arising
from what are called the "dead end"
pipes, where there ,1s little circulation.
Professor Sweetser says that his tests so
far fail to show anything that might
cause disease. He will continue his ex
aminations, and. has secured some cross
sections of pipe. Dr. Woods Hutchinson
made a bacteriological analysis of the
water and reports he finds nothing harm

to show what one grange can do. Mr.
Sellwood says the farmers of "Mllwaukie

AGENTS TO LEAVE FOX MEXICO
Rallroad Men Go South for Their
Annual Convention.
On Wednesday evening1 the Portland
delegation of passenger agents; which
will attend the annual convention of
the American Association of Passenger
Agents, which is to meet in the City
of Mexico, will leave the city over the
Southern Pacific for the southern trip.
M. J. Roche, the traveling passenger
agent of the Denver & Rio Grande, and
the local manager and promoter of the
excursion from the Northwest territory,
has been making up a list of those who
will attend the convention. J. H. O'Neill,
traveling passenger agent of the O. R.
At N.; A. G. Barker, general agent of
the Chicago & Northwestern, -and H. C

send: F. W. Parker, general agent of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul; A.
B. Calder, general passenger agent of
the Canadian Pacific; Herbert O Con

Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, and C.
B. Smith, traveling passenger agent of
the Alaska Pacilc Navigation Com

tle, will join the Portland party for the
Southern trip to the convention city.
A special train will run from Port
land reaching San Francisco on De
cember 2, and joining the main body
of the excursionists at Spo fiord, Tex.
The delegates from the entire North
west territory are pledged to work for
Portland as the convention city of 1905,
and from the assurances given from
the delegates from many sections of the
East there is but little doubt that the
efforts of the Coast delegates will be
successful and that the next meeting
of the traveling agents will be held
here at 3ome time during the Lewis
and Clark Fair.
TELETY-rOUETH MILESTONE.
St. David's Episcopal Commemorates
Its Birthday.
The services yesterday in St. David's
Episcopal Church, East Twelfth and Bel
mont streets, were largely in commemo
ration of the 34th anniversary of the first
service held, out of which grewthe pres
ent parish. Rev. George B. Tan Waters,
D. D., rector, preached morning and
evening. At the morning services holy
communion followed the sermon. Under
the charge of Frederick W. Goodrich a
fine musical programme was rendered.
In the evening the "Te Deilm" was finely
rendered under the direction of Mr. Good
rich and the vfested choir. There were
large congregations at all the services of
the day.
The first church was built on the north
east corner of Grand avenue and East
Morrison street In 1871, and was conse
crate! with an elaborate service on Janu
ary 1, 1872. Ten years later it was en
larged by an addition of a recess.
chancel and vestry-room, and was other
wise Improved.
In 1880 a rectory was built on the lot
east of the church. In 1892 the quarter
facing Grand avenue was sold to the
Masonic Building Association, and the old
church was moved to East Morrison and
Twelfth, where a half block had been pur
chased. The handsome stone church
which stands on Belmont and Twelfth
was commenced and recently completed.
The parish is generally prosperous. Dr.
Van Waters says that so much aid came
from outsiders in completing the edifice
that he feels that It belongs to the whole
.community. During the lifetime of St.
David s Church has had out two pas
tors, Rev. John Sellwood and Rev. George
B. Van Waters. The members and rector
facilitated themselves on reaching the
Sith milestone and are looking forward to
a wider sphere of usefulness In the future.
BOY POUND INTOXICATED.
Police Using Every Effort to Learn
Saloonkeeper Who Sold the Liquor.
Drunkenness Is running rife among a
certain class of young boys in the city,
and the remedy does not appear. Within
the last few weeks there have been several
cases, one a boy of M., found Intoxicated
on a wharf at the foot of Alder street.
and another of a 12-year-old boy. But
the worst case of all was of a 16-year-old
lad named Hayes, found dead drunk at
Thirteenth and Hoyt streets yesterday af
ternoon. He was so completely Intoxlcat
ed that he did not revive during the night.
His effects disclosed his last name.
Three telephone calls came to the Police
Station in a hurry about 4 o'clock yes
terday afternoon, complaining of a crowd
of boys who were drinking and carousing
In a wagon shed belonging to the Hey-
wood Bros. & Wakefield Company's fur
niture warehouse.
Officer Goltx was sent to the shed, but
his helmet bad not come within half a
block before there was a scattering of
youngsters to the four winds of- the earth.
The policeman thought at first that his
quarry had all escaped him until he be
gan looking among the barrels in the shed
for possible articles with which to identify
the boys. A heavy breathing attracted his
attention and he found Hayes lying in a.
drunken stupor.
It was impossible to bring the boy to
life, and even after he had been Jolted
to the station in the patrol wagon he
was limp and lifeless. He was immedi
ately carried Jnto a cell.
Chief Hunt remarked last night that he
intends making a vigorous crusade against
liquor dealers selling liquor to minors and
that in this particular case he will use
every effort to find the man.

The American public should always be
grateful to Clay Clement for writing and,
through a considerable number of years,
appearing in the leading role at a comedy
which is In every respect a thing of
beauty and a joy, it not forever, for such
a period as, the court would designate
as a reasonable time. To have seen
"The New Dominion" under, the Cle
ment auspices was a privilege. If you
missed that pleasure, do the next best
thing. See the Columbia players In it,
for their production is near enough to
Clay Clement's to be very good Indeed.
It must be confessed that the first act
drags painfully. The play gets away as
dolefully as a funeral procession. That
is. It did yesterday. This may have been
because the actors were not sure of
themselves, certainly it Is not the fault
of the play, for It has as good a first
act as most. Probably later In the week
It will go better. For the other three
acts, however, even If one desired to
carp he could find no great fault with It.
Everybody in the cast seems to take a
brace and from the second act to the end
things go with a smoothness which Is
thoroughly commendable.
The play depends largely of Baron Ho
henstauften. the lovable German botan
ist, whose delicious blunders with the
English are the first charm of the piece.
It's a difficult role. Clement wrote it
for himself and of course he fitted it to
himself as a tailor might a garment
Edgar Baume undertakes hard work In
essaying It but he succeeds beautifully.
His accent lmnroves wonderfully after
the first act and he gives the lines
splendid reading. He has that great un
ruly voice of his well in hand and his
acting of the part Is one of the most
pleasing of his local achievements.
Perhaps the most satisfactory thing In
the play, next to the leading role. Is the
old negro servant .as William Dills plays
him. Mr. Dills is" back in the cast after
serious illness, and the Columbia pat
rons gave him an ovation yesterday .which
must have touched him deeply. His Uncle
Poly Is very artistic. Donald Bowles, cov
ers himself with glory In the character of
the Infamous Bones. Recently Mr. Bowles
has given us conclusive evidence of his
versatility and this week, while he may
alienate his lady admirers who have made
him their dearest idol, he gives us a new
view of his excellent talents.
Mr Berrell, as the Southern gentleman
of the old regime, is consistent and faith
ful to the traditions. George Bloomquest
gives us another of his thoroughly like
able juvenile characters and Justifies our
confidence In him.
Miss Countiss Is not at her best as
Flora May. This Is not one of the parts
which she does well, and while she works
hard to make the best of an uncongenial
role, her work does not add greatly to the
general excellence of the performance,
Ethel Fuller, a good emotional actress.
Is in the cast this week, doing Martha.
the unhappy mountain cousin. Her act
ing is deserving of the warmest commend
ation and her permanent addition to the
company would seem to be a wise move.
Louise Brandt whose hold on Portland
audiences appears to be secure, may well
feel proud of her efforts .this week. She
is seen as a dashing young widow, of
just a bit unconventional Ideas, and she
has the idea of her part down to her fin
gertlps. It gives her another chance to
score heavily and she takes advantage of
it Laurette Allen Is commendably good
as the designing stepmother.
We must all regret the necessity of an
nouncing on the programme that the beer
which the Baron drinks in the second act
is brewed by a certain St Louis firm. If
there was no other way to get the beer.
a popular subscription might have been
tried. Besides, it Is unfair to our local
breweries. Why not let the Baron drink
home-made brand? Now, the public
would like to know what brand of cigar
ettes Donald Bowles smoked as the
naughty villain, and the name of the
whisky Mr. Berrell put Into his mint
Juleps. Also the programme should be
corrected for making It appear that the
action of the piece occurs "in the St
James River. Virginia." Somebody around
tne Columbia should study geography.
both physical and political.
The audiences, in spite of these dls
tressing incidents, were large at both per
formances yesterday. Same bill all week.

BOY EES CUED BY THE POLICE
His Mother Refused to Keep Him Be
cause Another "Lady' Lived There.
A bright little boy sat around the Police
Station yesterday afternoon waiting to be
taken to the Boys & Girls' Aid Society.
Meanwhile he was planning how he could
be allowed to go up to the second floor
and then sneak away by the outside stairs.
He did not know why he wished to es
cape, but he felt as if that were, the thing
to ao.
He was taken into custody because he
had not been properly treated. He was
found In a boarding-house at Union ave
nue and East Ash street where four
young men were taking very little care
of him. He was on the streets most of the
time and lived precariously, as do the
four young men, who sell Jewelry on the
streets. His name is Alfred Earlfeller
and he has a mother living at 310 First
street
"Why do you not .live with your mother?
Does she work?" asked Chief Hunt
"No, Bhe .does not work, but there
another lady staying with her. and she
can t keep me"
"Humph!" ejaculated Chief Hunt look

he had no money to meet the note.
Suit was brought, and that story of the
Turk's troubles got into the papers. Judg

precious heirlooms of Turkish rugs, went

A rush of 'bidders gobbled them greedily

Grand Jury Awaits Action of City in
Tanner-Creek; Matter.
So far, the grand jury now in session has
not yet considered the Tanner-Creek sew
er scandal or any of the allegations con
nected with defective construction of city
bridges.
This much was learned last night on the
best of Information. The probability at
this writing is that the grand Jury will
wait until the Investigating committees of
the Council finish their reports, which will
be about tomorrow or Wednesday, and at
that time Mayor Williams will hand to the
grand jury a portion If not all the Informa

and that the city authorities will then
await the action of the grand jury. The
usual amount of sensational rumors were
afloat last night as to something signifi

them. It Is thought that late tomorrow
will see the finish for the present of the
