RIVAL FORCES ALARMED Proposition of Uniting Portion of "Wet" Precinct "With Portion of "Dry" Precinct Arouecs Partisans of Each. Can a. segment be detached. Irom a '-dry" election precinct by the County Court, then be turned Into a new pre rlnct and be made "wet"? Can segments from a "wet" precinct and a "dry" pre cinct be -united, and. if so. what Is to be the liquor politics of the new creation? Tbeso .questions have haunted the pro hibition and the liquor forces .ever since the local option law, under which pre cinct prohibition hag been voted and en forced, was enacted in June, ISO, and now at last they passed from ghosts into real ities in Alblna precincts 55 and M. Rival Interests Involved. Trouble is threatened unless the rival Interests can be steered away. This Is Just what County Judge Webster will en deavor to do by setting up the two de tached segments by themselves and con stituting each a dry or a wet precinct, like Its parent. Precinct 65 has grown to have so many voters that it has arrived at a point where the law ordains it shall be dimin ished in site. This Is all very well for the parent precinct, for nobody disputes that It will remain dry. But how about the part that is to go off housekeeping by itself. The power to mark off elec tion precincts is absolute with the Coun ty Court, and there is no provision in the local option law to rule the liquor ques tion in newly-created precincts except by the usual prohibition election in such areas. But no election can be held until next June. "Where the Precinct Lies. The precinct lies between Kllllngsworth and Fremont avenues. The law requires the County Court to apportion 300 voters to a precinct As precinct S5 has 561 elec tors registered and its ballots cast last June numbered 511, obviously the time has come for a division. The part to be detached lies between Williams- and Grand avenues, a strip of ground six blocks wide. Adjoining this precinct on the west is wet precinct 54, which extends westward to the bank of the river. It, too. must be divided. Tho County Court has planned to Join together the rioughed-off portions of the two overgrown precincts; in fact, this has all but been decided on by Com missioners Barnes and Llghtner, and the Junction only awaits the formal order of the court. Problem Is Complex. This proposed union of wet ground from 54 and dry ground from 65 into a new pre inct has added complexity to the prob lem and raised a question about what is to be the breed of the new precinct wet or dry. "Gee whiz!" exclaimed Judge "Webster last night when his attention was called to the matter, "I'll have to get after that. Glad you callod my attention to It. Hadn't thought of it before. My goodness, we'll have to fix that up to conform with the prohibition election of Iart June." Forthwith the Judge put on his thinking cap, and turning tho question over sev eral times in his head, decided that the proper thing to do was to keep the two overgrown segments apart and make sep arate precincts out of them. By that plan the piece from dry 55 could stay dry and that from wet 54 could stay wet. Judge "Webster's Opinion. Judge "Webster Is of the opinion that when a precinct has voted itself dry the County Court should not exercise Its pow er of precinct making to turn any part of the precinct wet. This is the opinion also of Commissioner Llghtner. County Clerk Fields and Dr. J. R. "Wilson, ex presldent of the Anti-Saloon League, who believe that territory voted dry or wet can be changed to the other by an elec tion In that same territory. That this power of precinct division in the County Court has been loaded with possible trouble has been known ever since the local option law was enacted. The question is of significance all over the State, for It Is likely to come up at any time in any county. MINSTRELS TONIGHT. Richards and Prlngle's Famous Gcorgias at Marquam Grand.

Three performances will be given dally, the matinee and two night shows. All the songs and jokes are fresh and new, and everything Is original with this com pany. TO WELCOME ARCHBISHOP CATHOLIC LAITY TO JOIN IN PUBLIC RECEPTION. Prelate of Oregon Archdiocese to Have Ovation on His Return From Holy Sec. In response to a call from the clergy of the "Roman Catholic archdiocese of Oregon, a mooting of the laity of the various churches of that denomination was held at the Catholic Order of For esters Hall yesterday afternoon, for the nurnofsc of arranjrincr a suitable Pro gramme for the welcoming home of Arch bishop Alexander Christie, upon the ro turn of the prelate from his visit to the pope. The meeting was attended by a large fleletratlon from the several parishes, and was called to order with J. P. Ivavanaugh acting as temporary chairman. itev.

In which he stated that It was the desire of the clergy that the laity of the church in this city, as well as In the state, would actively assist' in the promotion of the reception. P. E. Sullivan was chosen temporary secretary, and a formal discussion of the proposition was then Indulged, and the meeting decided to appoint a com mittee consisting of three delegates from each parish In the city to tako charge of the preliminary details in whclh they are to be assisted by the clergy. This com mittee then went Into executive session and chose sub-committees to look after the detail work of the reception.

Realizing that the sale of Japanese art goods, In the Chamber of Commerce building. Is drawing1 to a close, Port land art lovers turned Yut in force last week, and aB a result considerable of a hole was made in tho stock. Another week remains in -which to take advan tage of tbls sacrifice salo for those who have not already done o. Today .marks the beginning of the end. This Is the last week of the sale. Everything must be closed out by Sat urday night, and it is desired that tho sale be concluded even before, as the commissioners .having the sale in charge are anxious to get away. Ow ing to the desire to close out every thing as speedily an possible, the goods will probably be knocked down at low er figures than have obtained since the opening of the sale. Those contemplating the purchase of Christmas gifts are urgd to take advantage of this opportunity. Talks In Churches for Suffrage. Mrs. Deborah Livingstone, state presi dent of tho Women's Christian Temper ance Union of Rhode Island, who was ono of the speakers at the National con vention of that organization In Loa An geles, delivered two addresses In Port land yesterday. Last night she spoke in the Methodist Episcopal Church at St. Johns upon the subject, "The Coming of the Kingdom. She urged the Import ance of temperance work and secured the names of 23 women for a branch of the W. C T. U. which will be organized 1m mediately at St. Johns. In the afternoon Mrs. Livingstone gave an address at the quarterly meeting of the Friends Church, at Sunnyside, and secured 22 names to be .added to the roll of the W. C T. U. In Sunnyslde ST. JOINS ACTIVE Prosperous Peninsula Town Makes Rapid Growth. PEACE REIGNS IN COUNCIL Increase in Population, Manufactur ing and Taxable Wealth Phe nomenal Local Option to Be Issue In April. St. Johns Is at present conducted finan cially by confessing judgment on all ac counts that are presented for settlement. Under the charter, no warrants can be Issued unless there are funds available to meet the amount, but another provision allows warrants to be isucd in case a 1 new precinct 63, In Alblna, oat of part of dry precinct 55 and by the court. judgment be rendered against the oity. and these warrants bear 6 per cent in terest. So far the city has confessed judgments to the amount of $3000. Includ ing J1700 for fire apparatus, public dock and the salaries of officers. Practically. Su Johns has no Income. Last year the tax levy was so small that the Income from that source was not a drop In the bucket, but the coming year there will be a good Income. The taxa ble property will be over J1.2TO.000. and the charter permits a levy of 10 mills, which will provide ample revenue, and raise UZ, 000. The outstanding warrants will then be taken up. It is not Intended to take any further action toward the erection of a City Hall, as bonds cannot be Issued under the charter for that purpose, but the energies of the city officials will be directed toward the Improvement ot streets and the establishment of a sewer system, both of which' are needed. There will be no saloon licenses Issued as long as the Council stands as It now does on that subject. . There will be an election next April, when terms of the present officers expire. There will likely be some changes at that time. Vote on Local Option. The population has increased so that It is now 2500 people, and local option will be voted on at the April election. That it will be a hot contest, there Is no ques tion. Rev. E. E. McVicker. with the as sistance of ex-Marshal C. R. Organ, has led the fight against saloon licenses, and successfully hold the present majority In the Council. It was the influence of Dr. McVicker that held Councilman Edwards In his seat when he really wanted to withdraw. Had he got out. Daniel Brecht would have been appointed, with the re sult that saloon licenses would have been Issued. The question Is. will Rev. Mr. McVicker be able to exercise the lnfluonce to prevent saloon victory at the election in April, without the assistance of Mr. Organ, who announces that he is out of politics? With the extraordinary Increase In population, it Is a problem Just what the outcome will be on the "wet" and "dry' question. Dr. McVicker Is an adroit and skillful politician, as has been shown In the way he has held the majority In the Council, when there came a reaction against the "dry" verdict. Remarkable Growth. There Is a most remarkable growth in the town of St. Johns. Two years ago there were n few shacks to mark the place on the higher ground where many fine buildings now stand. "When Tom Monahan predicted that It would have 3000 people inside of two years people laughed at him It has 2500 at the end ot that period, and is still growing. There has been an increase from an assessment of $510,000 to 5L250.000 Inside of a year. From the beginning, with a dilapidated match factory then on the water front, more than $1,000,000 has been expended In founding manufacturing establishments, and more are coming'. On the ruins of the two sawmills which were destroyed by Are last Summer, a marine boiler works and a modern saw mill are being put up. The people are kept busy speculating upon the move ments of numerous survey parties that keep driving stakes all over that district. One day a line Is run through the back yard of a resident, and the next day he finds a row of stakes through his front yard, and then again the line runs through his kitchen, until it Is estimated that there are about 1000 stakes to the acre bearing hieroglyphics. Now it is thought to be the O. R. & "N. checking up Its new route to Troutdale. and then it Is the Northern Pacific locating the new bridge across the "Willamette. And so it goes. One morning John Mock says the bridge has been located to start from his front yard, and the next morning City 'Attorney Green says: "By punko. the survc3ors for the Northern Pacific bridge have been at work in my backyard." But in spite of all these znvsteries. the people of SL Johns are full of enthusiasm, and have no doubt but they are going to have a big cits'.

During the time the attorneys were hurl ing thunderbolts at the members of the Council, an amusing Incident happened. J. Downs, a newcomer, attended the meet ing and heard the orations. "I was surprised at the speeches, and I thought if those men were the Council men." said Mr. Downs, "there must be some heavyweights on the board. I had attended meetings In other cities, but I had never heard Councilmen talk so well before. I did not know at the time they were lawyers who were, doing the talk ing, and that the seven common-looking men sitting on the front row of chairs were the Council, and I was very much disappointed when I found out my mis take" But the squabble Is over, and it is likely that the Council will work harmoniously until the close of the year in ApriL Much Expected Prom Ferry. Much Is expected from the ferry soon to bo established by J. E. Brink and his associates. It will connect the Llnnton road with the "Willamette boulevard, and form an Important link in the proposed picturesque driveway out of Portland. Both tho LIntonn road and the "Willam ette boulevard are susceptible of being mado among the most attractive drive ways possessed by any city In the United States. Both closely follow the contour of the "Willamette River. It is' proposed to work for the Improvement of the high ways. At present both are county roads, and are kept up only for ordinary travel. to be iret or dry f Thin precinct has hwa created by the' County Court part of Tret precinct SI, though tho order fcas not yet been officially made but it Is now desired to macadamize both and oil the surface.

It is considered certain that Su Johns will be made a cen tral point in the traffic that will cross the ferry, which will be, established some time next month. FIXES NO REGULAR HOURS Inspector Bruin Says the Detective Force la Too Small. Although Detective AVclch has been added to the regular detective force as a full-fledged sleuth, thus bringing tho force up to Its regular quota, no defi nite hours will be assigned this branch of the police force by Inspector Bruin. Besides the olght regular detectives, three policemen In plain clothes aro working as acting detectives, but arc drawing patrolmen's pay. Inspector Bruin said yesterday thai. niGAMIST AND DID NOT KNOW IT. T. J. Miller. Mayor of Tumwater. OLYMPIA. Nor 12. Thomas J.

Ills statement bids fair to de tror the claim or the woman to the Leclede Howard half-mllllon-dollar es tate In St. Loula. the detective force was still too small, 'and three more regular detec tives were needed to bring the force up to an efficient working staff. "Under the present standing of de tectives no regular hours will bo as signed." said the inspector. "Every detective is now working- ten or 12 hours a day. and often for a long er period. If regular hours were as signed, the efficiency of the force would be decreased instead of being increased. The greater part of tho secret work of the department 'is done in the day time, anyhow, and by taking four men. or evon two men, from the day work to do night duty would work a hardshlf on the others, and In the long run would do more harm than good. UntlJ more detectives are added to the force I will not make any changes. . "If any serious crimes tako place early In the morning the police officers are as well able to attend to It as the detectives, and the captains of police. If they deem It necessary, are always aU liberty to call one of the detectives out of bed. No. I believe that under the present system we are accomplish ing more good than If a definlto time were set. for each detective to work." 'r'J'f ' v 'rs . '? "?.i HIS OF PISE Policy of Oregonian Is Heartily Indorsed. TALKS AT PEOPLE'S FORUM Resignation of Mitchell, "Williamson and Hermann Desired and Ac tion of Oregon City Coun cil Is Condemned. Public sentiment in regard to the atti tude of The Oregonian In connection with Its demand for the resignation of Senator Mitchell and Representatives Williamson and Hermann, together with its. stand on the Oregon City franchise matter, was oniphaslzcd at the meeting of the People's Forum last night, when ono of the speak ers eulogized The Oregonian for Its course, and was followed shortly afterward b another, who said the thanks of the or ganization, as well as tho citizens of this state, were due The Oregonian In the matter. In both Instances the remarks of the speakers were heartily applauded by those present. H. D. "Wagnon addressed the meeting on the subject of "The Imperative Mandate, or the Recall." In opening, he said that there were many people in the United States who believed they had as much right to discharge r public official as they had to dismiss one of their employes if he was not doing his duty. Some thought It unwise to Initiate the doctrine at the present time, but the speaker contended that It was establishing no new principle: that it was a natural law. and one of the oldest of which human society has any record, extending even unto the days of Judea. At the present time, he said, the people of Russia. In their barbaric fash- Ion, were attempting to recall their Em peror. The subscriptions to the Jewish funds were condemned as a makeshift, Mr. "Wagnon holding that the fault could be traced here for not scattering the doc trines of enlightenment broadcast throughout the world. He claimed that If the peoplo of America had done their duty no such condition would have arisen In Russia, where every autocrat In the land had protested against a constitution. "The final struggle has come there. appalling In Its severity, but not more so than we were appalled at the blood shed of tho French Revolution. .Each has Its lesson, and human sacrifice wilt mark the pathway of both, and the revolution in Russia will operate as a social purifier In the same sense as that of France, and the downfall of Nicholas of Russia has already had Its precedent In the overthrow of Louis of France." The speaker then told about visitlnr the art gallery at the recent Fair. ancJ how. by somo strange course of Juxta position, pictures of the last royal family of France appeared tmraedlato ly above Millet's masterpiece. "The Man "With the Hoe." whom he won dered if the Imperative mandate coulu have helped. "Tho leading- newspaper of this stata Is invoking the doctrine against Sena tor Mitchell and the two Representa tives of Oregon, yet in some of the ob scure country Journals we hear a muf fled protest, as if voicing the hopo that such a law shall not become effectlva. "We cannot recall Senator Mitchell, be cause he Is elected by our master?, and the United States Senate Is the sole Judge In the case, despite the fact that there Is a Federal statute prohlbllng a convicted felon from either holding office or drawing his salary. That Is neither h,ere nor there. The recall is needed, and we have recently had this fact thrust In our faces right here in Portland by the action of the Oregon City Council in granting- a franchise to the Oregon "Water Power Company against the overwhelming protests of the residents. Had there been an Im perative recall, nothing of the kind could have occurred, because the peo ple would have been on their guard and In a position to prevent betrayal by their trusted servants." After the speaker had closed. Chair man Stevens said the thanks, of the or ganization, as well as the people of Oregon, were due The Oregonian for Its stand on the Senator Mitchell and Oregon City matters, and he regretted that Mr. "Wagnon had made any refer ence at all to the country press, be cause their attitude had placed then) beneath notice. In his opinion. The Oregonian had fought the battle fo the people, unaided. These remarks elicited vigorous applause from the audience. Next Sunday Professor Martin will talk about "Art" at tho People's Fo rum: the Sunday following E. S. Mc Allister will discuss "Single Tax"; De cember 3, "W. "W.

PORTLAND. Nov. 11. (To the Editor.) Itcferrine to the article in this morning's Oregonian. 1 wish to call your attention to the fact that not one street-car fender In this city is put on the car according to the ordinance intended to govern the same. Not one extends out in front of the platform two feet or any other distance; Instead, they are all away under and behind the end of the car. No fender Is even within three or. four or five Inches o the rail. You will And by actual measurement that they are from Ave to even twelve Inches above the rail. No motor-man has even in a single Instanee picked mo man. woman or child on any fender In this city. All motormen 'say It Is impossible with the fenders now In use. Some time ago. probably a year, the City Council passed an ordinance adopting the fender in use then, as now. by the Portland Railway Company as one filling the require ments of this city. Did not the city then by that resolution relieve the railway com panies from all responsibility for deaths caused by the use of the fender adopted by the city as the legal fender to be used on such cars? If these fenders cannot be run within three Inches all the time of the rails then the reason Is that the company does net keep its part of the street between the rails In proper order. If these fenders ari placed on cars in the position required by the ordi nance, there will be no more men. women or children run over or killed. When a motor man finds a person right In front ot him there Is no time to turn oft the power, put on the brake and drop the fender. It Is im possible for any man to do It. One motor man picked up a dog once, and a little girl was dragged along by a bolt In a fender be coming entangled In her dress, and she was neither run over nor killed, but she was not picked up: she was only saved from a horri ble death by that bolt and not by the fender. When so many lives can be saved at such slight cost. It la surely worth the effort. R. M. WILBUR. Cars Arc Overcrowded. (To the Editor.) Returning from Vancou ver on tho 5:20 car a few days ago ovr 100 passengers were loaded on one car. After a wearr wait at the landing for the same, the car contained hardly standing room, and as tho trestle Is known by every traveler to be unsafe, the heavily crowded car and the dis comfort combined made everyone aboard n'r. vous. At Woodlawn the standing passengers were Invited by the conductor to get oft and wait for the next car, quite a. number of whom accepted- the offer. VANCOUVERITE. OREGON INCORPORATIONS.

SENATOR FULTON QUITE DISGUSTED Declares Oregon Irrigation Projects Should Not Be Retarded. WILL EXPLAIN SITUATION Oregon Delegation Returns From a Visit to Coos Bay Impressed V "With Natural Advantages of Inlet for Port. "I am disgusted with the irrigation situ ation, and I think the fact that the Uma tilla scheme is to be cut off from Govern ment aid at this time after the engineers have declared it to be feasible is an out rage." So 3ald. Senator Fulton last night after he had registered at the Imperial and had shaken bands with a half-dozen friends from as many different parts ot the state who were In the lobby when the arrivals from the Astoria train carao In. "Yes. I am disgusted." continued the Senator, finding a seat where he could cxpresw his opinions more at ease after the Journey. "I think that these projects should be carried on by the Government. Look at what Oregon has done, what the State has contributed. The Umatilla scheme Is feasible, and has" been recom mended as such by tho engineers ot the Reclamation Service, and it Is cheap as It is feasible. And the country Is ono that would warrant all of the expense that might have been Incurred." "Perhaps." It was suggested. "Mr. Hitchcock has decided that the State has not been prompt enough, or there are not people enough. "The State has been prompt, replied Mr. Fulton, "and there are more people In half ot Portland than there are in the whole of Nevada, and look what Is being done there." "Well, what do you suppose can be done about It?" the Senator was asked. "I don't know, I am sure," he an swered. "I will go to see the Secrctar aa soon as I reach Washington and will explain the conditions as I know them to exist, and will do what I can. But." the speaker continued, with the look ot one who knows he is struggling with a her culean task, "if it has been decided not to continue the work, I don't know what can be done to change the decision." Appointments Held Up. That being about the whole of the sub ject as it was known, the Senator was asked about the Federal Judgeship and the. Roscburg Iand Office appointment, which are held In abeyance awaiting his return to Washington on November 20. "Won't you tip oft who the Judge will be?" the Senator waa asked. "How could I do that when I have not been as yet Informed." said the Senator. "I do not know that there are any new developments in the Judgeship situation he continued, "nor In the appointments at Roseburg. I have heard nothing from olther of them since I returned from Washington, and I do not think anything has been done." "Will you see Mr. Burton, of the rivers and harbors committee, as soon as you return to Washington: and what can bo done to help In the effort to secure an Ap propriation for the Columbia?" the Sen ator was asked. "I will see Mr. Burton as soon as Is con venient." Mr. Fulton replied. "It may be that I will be able to take the question up with him before the session begins, but If not, surely before many days of work have passed. Mr. Burton Is In fa vor of the Columbia River project and of Its completion at the earliest moment possible," continued the speaker, "and E know he will do what can be done under the circumstances to aid In securing tho appropriation. Mr. Burton was In fa vor ot putting all the funds available at the last appropriation upon the Jetty In order to get the work as far advanced as possible. "As to what I think of tho prospects and what ought to be done. I have dis cussed all that, and there have heen no new developments. The only thing that can be done is to make as good a show ing as Is possible in explanation of why the appropriation is absolutely necessary at this time for economical and ultimate construction of the great work com menced." Coos Bay Has Deep Water. "What are you going to tell Congress about Coos Bay?" the next question ran, "I am going to tell that Coos Bay has a great harbor and that I think It will be an Important shipping point some day," was the response as the Senator sat up and began to talk of more cheer ful things. "I am going to tell that It Is possible to find a depth of 60 feet on either side of a half mile reach of the bar. and of 40 feet with a little over 100 yards intervening. I am going to tell that I have great faith In that country and expect It to be one of the leading districts of the state some day. With only a part of the money that has been spent on the Columbia River bar a chan nel 35 feet deep during low tide could he easily secured. I went out over the bar during my recent trip, and was surprised at what I saw." "Were you sea sick?" the Senator was 3,3 Iced. "No. sir," he said, "for the first time in my life I was not. I stood on the bridge wfth the captain and smoked cigars and enjoyed myself." "Perhaps that is the reason you hav such a favorable opinion of Coos Bay as a deep water harbor." it was suggested. "Perhaps so." admitted the Oregon dele gation, "but It is a great country any way, and has a great future," he added, as he started for his room. Senator Fulton will remain in Portland until Wednesday morning when he will leave over the O. R. & N. for Washing ton, expecting to reach that city on No vember 20. Fund for Miss Loubet.
