The Igorrotes have undertaken to ban ish the Houds that hover over Portland,, and to bring fine weather for Portland day. Understanding that next Saturday is to be the day of days in tne niHtory of the Rose City, they have petitioned their god, Lu-ma-wlg, to bring a season of sunshine. The ceremony occurred Tuesday after noon, last, ana was witnessed by Presi dent Goode, Director of Works Huber and a crowd of visitors. Head Chief Domingo, with Second Chief Aanausal. and Third Chief Mo-ling, armed with spears, pro ceeded to the village ofAce, where they were given a quantity of unhulled rice secured from the Philippine exhibit in the Government building. This rice was charred, placed in a Joint of bamboo, and securely sealed. The package was thon placed on a seat suspended from a bam boo litter, and a procession was formed of fully armed warriors, and tom-tom players. A boat was boarded at the landing near the bandstand, and the strange-looking party was rowed across Guild's Lake. Gofhg outside the Exposition grounds to the Willamette River, they got aboard the Princess May and were carried out into the stream, so their burnt offering might be carried by the current to the ocean, which would cease to be hungry for water from the clouds. Chief Do mingo stood up in the stern of the boat, and after uttering an Invocation to Lu-ma-wig. cast the bamboo Joint into the waters. The bucks burst into a song suitable for the occasion, and they returned to their reserratlon to the weird mbslc of the tom-toms, where they assembled at the Pa-ba-fu-nan. Domingo delivering a short speech to his folk) wars. Antcro says the speech was realty an Igrorote poem, and that a free translation of It is as follows: Lu-ma-wlg, great Lu-ma-wig, Hearken while wo pray; Frown not fn this fair land. Where you see your faithful band. When "Portland points the way." Lu-ma-wlg. great Lu-ma-wig, Give us not a day of gray; Let the brightness bloom. With no sign of gloom. When "Portland points the way." The Igorrotc is a proud man. Arrogating to himself the name Ip-u-kao. meaning llteraly "the people." he feels he has come to the Exposition to represent all his people at home. He meets you face to face and acts as though he considers himself your equal both you and he are men and he meets his follows the same way. It is probable that these interesting people will never be again seen in the Pacific Northwest, unless there is another groat Exposition, as it Is understood the Philippine government will not permit them to come to this country merely for show purposes. They should be seen by everyone interested In nature study, or the study of man, and they will bo here only a short time longer.

FF FQRNEWYORK WITH HELLO GIRL Representative George May ger Elopes With Miss Olive Barnes. FORMER A MARRIED MAN Columbia County Legislator and LonR-Distance Telephone Op eratort of Portland, Start for Australia. George Mayger, Ropre5entaUve In the last Legislature from Columbia County, although a married man having a wife but no children, at Mayger Station, where he was In the mercantile business with his brother Charles, has eloped with Miss Olive Barnes, a telephone girl in the long distance office of this city, and Is now on his way to Australia via New York. Mayger, it is said, was married to Miss Barnes secretly at tSalem ten days ago. "He left with his bride." said R. H. Mltch oll, of Holton. "for New York a few days after the ceremony." Mayger's friends, who have apparently been sworn to secrecy, although admit ting that the Representative of Columbia Counts- has eloped and married Miss Barnes, are chary about talking on the subject, not wishing to have tholr names connected with the 'affair, they say. In the towns where Mayger Is well known It has been common gossip for the last week that he has eloped with Miss Barnes. Ruby Jackson, of Houlten. Or is In receipt of a letter reciting the par ticulars of the elopement, but she Is un willing to divulge Its contents in dotal!, simply saying that the main facts are true. Charles Mayger, brother of George, said last night that he had not heard from his brother for the past 16 days. He would give no particulars of the elopement, but did not deny that it had happened. He did not know where his brother had gone. He did not know that his brother knew Olive Barnes. He had not heard of tho elopement, and did not know that his brother's wife had. He divulged the fact, however, that his brother was a married man. Mrs. Mayger, at Mayger's Station, has not hoard from her spouse for the last three weeks, and as far as known, none of his relatives have heard from him. As muh mystery attends the disappear ance of Miss Barnes as that of Mayger. Miss Barnes Is described by one of her acquaintances' as a petite damsel of 23 or 24 Summers, dark complexion, and well educated. Her sister, who is a long-distance operator at 22 Washington street, says that she has no idea of the where abouts of the eloped one. She first sakl that she thought her sister was with her mother at Newport. Or., but was not sure of that She had heard of the elopement but said that she would not i It to be come generally known that her sister had departed with a man. As far as she knew, she said, her mother was not aware that one of her daughters had left Portland. At the long-distance office the girls are bubbling oyer with suppressed excitement over the affair, but are unwilling per sonally to say anything, claiming tliat It is against the rules to glvo. out depart mental business. It Is we'.l known at the office of the telephone company, though, that Miss Barnes has left the city with 3f 3a,yp Miss Barnes loft the employ offthc com pany about three weks ago. bat at the time gave no hint of her Intentions. That Miss Barnes and Mayger left Oregon at the same? time is known. That they eloped Is known. That they have been married is not proved. But that they are on their way to Australia via New York, most of his friends admit "FIGHT FOR INSPECTORSHIP BY 1IULME GROWS WARMER. ClvIi Service Board Reports EUgl bles, One or Whom Mayor Will Try to Install. iThe examination for Plumbing In spector by the Municipal Civil Service Commission was concluded yesterday afternoon, and the names of three out of the four original applicants will be certlflod to the Mayor as ollglble for appointment to the position now held by Thomas E. Hulme under a special ordinance of the City CounclL Those successful In the examination, together with their standing, were: William Hey. of 227 Sixteenth street, S7; Colburn Barrel!. S East Sixth street 83-50, and J. H. Morrow. 269 Clay street, 78.75. John Jamos Drlscoll, of 487 Pettygrove street, entered" the ex amination, but soon withdrew for some unexplained reason. When asked last night If he had made any selection from the three names furnished him. Mayor Lane de clined to discuss the subject, saying he had nothing to give out for publica tion. He also denied that J. H. Morrow had been named for the place, and In answer to the Inquiry as to whether ho intended to make the appointment very soon replied, "I don't know yet." He admitted that Secretary McPherson, of the Civil Service Commission, had fur nished him with the names of those who had passed the examination. Morrow Is the man who. rumor had it was to get the place of Plumbing Inspector providing Hulme. the prosent Incumbent would be considerate enough to step down and out Instead of doing this. Hulme got busy reading up the charter and satisfied himself that the Mayor had no authority to demand his resignation; hence he de clined to accede to His Honor's wishes. Tho City Council took the same view of the situation by a clearly partisan vote of 14 to 1, and promptly passed an ordinance creating the office of Plumbing Inspector and Deputy Plumb ing Inspector, and continuing Thomas E. Hulme and Harry Woodhouse in those positions. The Mayor vetoed this measure and at the first opportunity tho Council passed it over his head to the old familiar tune of 14 to 1. It seemed to have been a race be tween Maj'or Lane and the Civil Service Commission on one side, and Hulme and SHAW'S PURE BLUMAUER 5c HOCH lOexjtd 110 Frtk Stmt si dsMnVCMHIMPX innT OWfPML the City Council on the other, with j honors thus far in favor of the latter, j as Hulme is still in possession, and says he will resist any attempt to oust him except by lawful process. Hulme Intends to Ignore the Civil Service Commission entirely, and says It Is a matter of Indifference to him what action they take with reference to his salary, as they have no Jurisdic tion In the matter. The ways and means committee of the City Council will pass upon his 'salary demand, and Auditor Devlin said last night that he would audit the claims of Hulme and Woodhouse. Their warrants would then go to the Mayor for his signature, and in the event Dr. Lane refused to sign them, Hulme and Woodhouse would not only mandamus him, but It Is probable would begin separate ac tions for damages against the Mayor.

FRAINEY Contractor Is Let Off for Informality of His. Bid on Sewer Construc tion, and Municipality Must Pay $500 More. Notwithstanding the vigilance of Mayor Lane and his Executive Board, to say nothlng about the analytical way In which the new City Engineer Is reputed to scru tinize matters In his Jurisdiction, one or two things have lately passed apparently unobserved through the meshes of their combined alertness, and In consequence the city Is a loser to the extent of about J500 by the operation. It all came about at the last regular meeting of the Execu tive Board, upon which occasion there was presented for conridoratlon the question of final acceptance of certain sewer bids. At the meeting held on September 22 the committee on sewers, consisting of L. T. Peery. chairman; C. A. Cogswell and W. G. McPherson. Jo which were re ferred the bids for the construction of a sewer In Halght avenue. Gantenbeln ave nue. Vancouver avenue and Falling street, as provided by ordinance No. 14.S01. reported that "the bid of Fralney & Keat ing, the lowest bidder. Is Informal. Inas much as no price was stated In said bid for making a connection with the sewer In Fremont street" Mr. Peery thereupon moved that the bid of Fralney & Keating, for J12.l87.o8, be rejected, and that the contract be awarded to Bechill Bros., the next lowest bidder, for J13.060.3S. This motion was duly seconded and carried, although It is a matter of record that Contractor Fralney was called before the Board and askad If he was willing to ac cept the contract, notwithstanding the slight informalities of his bid. This he declined to do. and expressed himself as well pleased with the idea of separating himself from a losing Job. As a matter of fact It was within the province of the Board to force him either to live up to the contract so far as his bid "extended, or declare the certified check for 10 per cent of the amount of his bid forfeited to the city. The cost of making a connection with the Fremont street sewer Is Insignificant, yet on ac count of the Board's action, the Munici pality virtually paid J452.SO for the privi lege of having It done by somebody else. In their bid Fralney & Keating Itemized the connection with the sewer In Fre mont 'street, but did not Indicate any price therefor, although It Is well known that the cost of such work would be less than 15. In the bids for the construction of a sewer In East Fourteenth street, from 75 feet north of the north line of Weldler street to the sewer In Multnomah street as provided by ordinance No. 14,504. it was found that Bechill Bros, were the lowest bidders, at J5CS.50; but this bid was reported Informal in not having the price for 12 elbows included therein; that the Wd of Fralney & Keating for JS13.97 was the next lowest, but was also Informal for the reason that no price was najned for making a connection with the sewer In Multnomah street For these Informal ities the Board rejected the bids of both BechllJ Bros, and Fralney & Keating, and awarded the contract to J. P. O'Neill, at hi bid of JS4S.3S. which was J23.GS higher than the City Engineer's estimate and J49.SS more than the bid of Bechill Bros., which was rot aside for an Informallty that would have cost the city less than J12 to supply, while Fralney & Keatlng's bid was ignored merely because they failed to Indicate any price for making the connection with the sewer In Multno mah street, which all the other contrac tors offered to do for nothing.
