CITY ELECTION TOMORROW
"With Few Minor Exceptions, Doinl
Inant Political Party Expects to
Achieve Great Victory
v Over Fusionlsts.
SEATTLE, "Wash.,, March 4.-rSpccial.)
There is little to Indicate that the out
come of a listless ;muriIcJpal campaign
next Tuesday will not be the election of
the Republican Ticket. There is a pos
sibility that "cine or two Councilman
nominees -will be defeated, but the main
ticket should be elected. In thoiElcvcnih
ward, where the municipal ownership
sentiment is strongest, and there is a
factional fight growing out of the nom
ination of George Hill, the Republican
candidate may be defeated. H. L. Jaffc
is not certain of election in the Second
ward, but the other "Republican Coun
cilmcn will pull through unless there is
an unexpected municipal ownership land
slide The municipal ownership sentiment has
slumped off since the 'mass convention
was held in January. Up to that time
the campaign for municipal ownership
was gaining in strength and the issue,
coupled with a fusion of all labor unions,
threatened to wipe out the Republican
majority-
Mistakes of the Fusionlsts.
Municipal ownership politicians made a
mistake in holding their convention
more than six weeks in advance of the
election. The sentiment began to lag
after the convention, and the programme
of the labor union and municipal owner
ship leaders to make an aggressive cam
paign was upsel by the apathy that fol
lowed and the absence of campaign
funds.
The nomination of William Hickman
Moore gave the fusion of labor unions
and municipal ownership advocates a
Democrat to head the ticket. The result
worked out that there was no Demo
cratic city ticket and that the Demo
cratlc party was split between the flip
port of the fusion nominee and the Re
publican candidates.
Old line Democrats have never taken
kindly to Moore's nomination. They claim
he agreed early last "Winter to accept
nothing but a Democratic nomination,
and to make an aggressive fight for the
organization. They blame, too, J. "VV.
Godwin, chairman of the state commit
tee, who sat in the municipal ownership
convention, for breaking up tholr organ
ization. Godwin fought Moore's light for
the municipal ownership candidacy all
the way through, and had a coterie of
radical Democrats with him.
Democrats Badly Demoralized.
Tn working out the political problem
this nomination presented, the Godwin
Moore crowd made it Impossible for the
Democrats to hold party caucuses .or to
put through a convention plan. The
convention was abandoned and the Dem
ocrats left to follow their own Inclina
tion. This probably did as much good to
the Republican as the municipal owner
ship ticket Tor the radical wing wonld
probably have supported Moore irre
spective of a party ticket, while the
regulars would have felt in duty bound
to stay by their own candidate.
Moore caused a labor union split by his
nomination. On an informal ballot it
has never been denied Matthew Dow had
a majority, but on the formal call in the
mass convention Moore won out by a
slight margin. Several men in the gal
lery jumped to the convention "floor and
voted with Moore, iiiHuring his nomina
tion. 4
Dow is very popular among the build
ing trades, fdr he Is a contractor who
has always encouraged labor unions. The
turn-down of Dow has caused a split
among the carpenters and affiliated
unions, despite the fact that Dow went
on the ticket as Councllman-at-Largo.
Failure to Arouse Enthusiasm.
The fusionlsts tried Saturday night to
hold a parade of union men, but notice
was served on them that several of the
unions. Including the Brewers. Typo
graphical union. Carpenters and others
opposed to Moore, would not Join, and
the effort was abandoned. In this schism
as much as anything else lies confirma
tion of the story that Rlpllnger is very
apt to pull through with a comfortable
majority.
The union leaders have succeeded
beyond expectation in registering their
vote. They made tho president of each
union responsible for the result in his
own organization, and in turn the head
of each workshop was called to account
for an, unregistered employe. The cam
paign fund was raised largely through
assessments upon labor union members,
but the total raised did not exceed
53.500.
The same organization that brought
out the preliminary registration and
raised the campaign fund will be tried
on election day. Union men are expect
ed to turn out to work at the polls, and
the volunteer brigade will go a long way
toward getting out the vote.
Ripllngcr's has been a spectacular
campaign in parts, but in other ways
it has been prosaic Lacking active
newspaper support, he has resorted to
the use of billboards. All over the city
placards have been up proclaiming the
Rlpllnger candidacy, npd..thesc haveex
clted considerable comment. The effect
has not been determined.
At the outset, Rlpllnger declared a
closed town- policy, and outlined a defi
nite set of principles that included sup
port for parks, playgrounds for chil
dren, enlargement of tho water and'llght
departments and enforcement of better
street railway regulations.
The Republican candidate's position,
has not been attacked and he 'has not
amended It in any particular. In fact,
the opposing orators have been talking
against wind, for the other slde: has ig
nored them. Moore was attacked by two
Republican spellbinders and in turn on
Saturday night made a bitter arraign
ment of his enemies. Aside from this the
campaign has been unusually quiet.

Oregon City Socialists Xot Allowed
to Register Elsewhere.
OREGON CITY, Or., March . I. (Spe
cial.) Clackamas County Socialists who
have registered as Republicans must
modify their - registration and enroll as

clusion was reached today at a meeting
here of the Socialists of Clackamas

Several of the errant members were In

SALEM CHINESE EXCITED
IXCEXDIAUY ATTEMPTS TO SET
FIRE TO THEIR QUARTERS.
Coal Oil Scattered About So as to
Give the Firebug Time
to Escape.
SALEM. Or.. March 4. (Special.) An
attempt to burn Chinatown and perhaps
several brick buildings in this city was
frustrated a few nights ago by the acci
dental discovers" of a blaze soon after it
had been started. Just after midnight
last Tuesday a large quantity of coal oil
was thrown over a pile of cordwood un
der the building erected last Summer by
Frank Hughes on High street, between
State and Ferry- Fire was then set in
such a manner that it would not roach
the oil until the incendiary could escape
without fear of detection.
The .fire had Just reached the oil when"
it was discovered and by heroic efforts
extinguished. The5 building is a large,
two-story frame structure, with store
rooms and living-rooms enough to ac
modato nearly all the Chinese population
of Salem. It is rented to various Chinese,
who have long-time leases.
The building stands up from the ground
and Ik so constructed that if fire once
started well underneath it. the fire de
partment would have difficulty in saving
that and adjoining buildings.
In the same block and closely adjoin
ing stands the old Armory building, a
large frame structure, -the Senate saloon,
the- Hughes brick building and the
D'Arcy brick building, alt of which would
have been saved with great difficulty had
the Chinese building been burned.
There is great excitement in Chinatown
over the attempt. to bum the building,
but the matter, has "been kept quiet and h
vigorous search has been made for 'some
clew that might disclose the identity of
the firebug. Thus far no clew has been
discovered that suffices even to fix sus
picion upon any person. The Chinese
are of the opinion that the fire was set
by one of their own nationality, and they
arc guarding against any" effort to set
the fire again.

ST. PAUL'S MANY TROUBLES
Surveyors' Battle "With Snow and
Seattle Holds Up Franchise.
SEATTLE, "Wash., March L (Special.)
Surveyors working for the Chicago.
Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad arc trav
eling on snowshoes in the mountain
passes of the Cascades. The snows are
so deep that the men cannot get over
ihe ground in any other" way. and today
evidence of additional snowfalls led to
the forwarding of extra snow-shots to the
engineering crews. In the mountains, it
is stated, the snowfall this year has been
heavier than for sex'cral seasons past, and
there is every Indication that the snows
will continue for weeks.
The railroad is anxious to complete its
preliminary examinations, and jias In
creased Its crews to hurry through the
work. It was expected by President A.
J. Earling, when he left the Coast a
month ago. that final surveys could be
made within two weeks' time, but more
than 3) days have passed without sccur
ing' a definite location. The engineers
have had great difficulty in getting down
to the ground to run their lines.
It was seml-officially stated today that
no means had been found thus far of run
nlng the main line through Spokane. Ef
forts have been made to find a route that
would carry the St. Paul tkat far north.
but omcials ot tne road believe the road
will have to build a spur into the Falls
City.
That the Chicago. Mlftvaukce &. St.
Paul had practically abandoned its ef
forts to get an Immediate franchise from
the City of Seattle was reported yester
day when the corporations committee of
th Council gave the ultimatum that
only a three years permit to lay tracks
to the terminal grounds could be granted.
Late yesterday President. 11. R. Wil
liams sent a letter to the Council de
clining to accept the offer, insisting that
his road could, not risk money on such
a chance.
In the meantime the legal department
of the road has taken steps to push the
franchise application In Tacoma. The
road is asking there merely for a fran
chise to reach the tidclands recently pur
chased, and It is believed by the Su
Paul officials they will have no difficulty
in getting their grant.
The open threat to remove Coast head
quarters to Tacoma and direct building
operations from that city Is being made
by the St, Paul officials. They have some
hope that after the coming election a
new City Council will give them their
franchise, but no great amount of con
fidence is entertained. Promise have
been gh-cn by several of the candidates
for the Council to support the Sr. Paul
application, but the frame-up for the or
ganization of the Council will gi-e the
chairman of the committee that has op
posed the Su Paul the whip hand
St. Paul officials hold that the Harriman
and Hill interests, working from different
motives, are blocking them. Tho. Hill

lose Its existing rights, while the Harri
man people want the franchise held off
until their plans are complete.

OREGON SPRAYING FORMULA
XJnic, Sulphur and Salt Wash a.
Good One.
In case some of The Orcgonlan's read
ers may not have at hand the recipe for
the lfme. sulphur and salt wash for the
SanJosc scale. It is reprinted here. When
owners of infected trees and bushes real
ise that it is a choice between spraying
and using the ax, and that longer delays
and procrastinations will not do. it may
help them to know what to do. and to
see how cheap and easily obtained are
the materials.
This Is what Professor Cordley, of the
Agricultural College, has Issued. There
is no better authority:
"The lime, sulphur and salt wash Is one
of the most satisfactory sprays for San
Jose scale and Is'also of value as a fungi
cide. It fs In fact the very beat "Winter
spray for cleaning up old neglected, moss
grown and diseased orchards. It Is pri
marily a "Winter spray, but when much
reduced in strength has been used to ad
vantage as a Summer spray for San Jose
scale. Several methods of preparing it
are recommended, but the following,
known as the Oregon formula. Is the
most satisfactory In this climate:
Quick lime, SO pounds, sulphur. 50 pounds;
salt. to JO pond; water, 150 gallon.
"Slake the lime thoroughly, add the
sulphur, cover with water and boll briskly
for at least an hour. Then add the salt
and boll 15 or 30 minutes longer or until
the mixture Is of a deep Wood-red color
with but little free sulphur on the surface.
Add water to maxc ISO gallons. Apply
with considerable force through a coarse:
nozzle while stilt warm. The results of
a number of experiments indicate that
the salt adds nothing to the efficiency of
this spray, but "my results have been
conflicting."

ST. PETERSBURG. March 4. During a

PEASANTS MAY SITED BLOOD
Fears or General Uprising Arc Fclc
In Russia.
ST. PETERSBURG. March 4. The ex
pectation In some quarters that the an
niversary of the emancipation of the
serfs today would be commemorated by
an agrarian ukase was not fulfilled. All
the newspapers, however, seized the oc
casion to discuss the present question In
view of the general anticipation of ex
tensive 'agrarian troubles In the Spring,
unanimously agreeing that only legal sat-
isiaciion ot tne land hunger of the
mujiks will prevent an awful uprising of
the peasants.
The conservative Journals draw a strik
ing parallel of riots which followed the
proclamation of civic Hbertr and the
events that succeeded Emperor Alexan
der's decree of personal freedom for the
purpose of proving that the present no-
lltlcal ferment Is only Incident to the ad
justment of the population to a new
regime.
Then, as now. they say. the Emperor's
act was misunderstood. The peasants' be
lieved the land with which they were
endowed was a free gift, and when they
were undeceived, jubilation over the'r
freedom turned to anger and was fol
lowed by uprisings and riots throughout
the Empire, which provoked the 3tcrncst
repression.
On the contrary, the radical journals
like th? new situation and paint a pow
erful picture of the unfortunate peasant
of the last 40 years bound to the o!I.
burdened by debt not yet discharged, and
subject to the knout. They attribute tho
miserable condition of the peasants to
the incompleteness of emancipation, and
ask If the Russian people are now con
demned to another such period of misery
and struggle because the grant of civic
liberty is insufficient.

had with them their horses, were fishing
off the cast land, when the ice parted
and was driven by a storm into the Bal

Later the ice spilt, the wind changed to
cast, and yesterday a block on which
there were 3.0 persons,, came ashore at
Frederlcksham. The fate of the others
is unknown.
Daring Robberies in Finland.
HELSINGFORS. Finland. March 4.
Daring robberies which aro being com
mitted In Flnlland are terrorizing the
population. They are attributed mainly
to Letts and Esthonlans. who fled from
the Baltic Provinces; but the alarming
feature is the Social Democrats, who arc
strong in the Grand Duchy and arc sym
pathizing with and showing a disposi
tion toward making common cause with
the revolutionists across tho gulf.
Pardon Tor Chief Mutineer.
ODESSA. March 4. It is announced
Liquozone by What It Does. The First Bottle Is Free.
It Is not our practice to publish tes
timonials on Liquozone. "We prefer to
buy the flrst bottle, and let the prod
uct iftelf prove its power. A simple
tost will do more to convince you than
any argument or claims. "We ask you
to learn, at our expense, what this
wonderful product means to you.
If you are sick, use Liquozone to get
well, as millions have done. Learn what
il does that other remedies have not
accomplished. .If you are well, use it
to keep well, to ward off germ attacksJ.that millions of people, scattered
and as an invigorant.
What Liquozone Is.
The virtues of Liquozone are derived
solely from gases, by a process requir
ing large apparatus, and from eight to
14 days' time. No alcohol, no narcotics
are in It- Chemists of the. highest class
direct the making:. The result Is to ob
tain from these harmless gases a pow
erful tonic-scrmicldc.
The great value of Liquozone lies in
the fact that it Is deadly to germs, yet
harmless to you. Germs are of vege
table origin; and this gas made prod
uct, when absorbed by them, stops
their activities. "We publish an offer of
31000 for a disease germ that Ic can
not kill. But to the body Liquozone
is exhilarating, vitalizing-, purifying-.
It is helpful In the extreme. -
That Is Its main distinction. Com
mon 'germicides are poisons when
taken internally. That Is why medi
Does Your
Heart Beat '
Yes. '100,000 times each day. Does
it send out good blood or bad blood?
You know, for good blood is good
health; bad blood, bad health. Ask
your own doctor about taking Ayers
Sarsaparilla for thin, impure blood.
He knows all about this medicine.
We have no secrets! We publish
the formulas of all our medicines.

More Gold In the Sea.
London Globe.
Tho subject of gold in sea water and
the possibility of profitably extracting i
is a fascinating one. A professor In the
University of Brussels. M. P.. do "Wilde,
has taken up the subject, and proposes a
new method of getting out the precious
metal. Sea water Is treated with a strong
solution of chloride of tin, at the rate ot
five cubic centimeters (about one-third
cubic inch), to the ton. Tho gold Torms
with the tin the compound known as pur
ple of Cassius, and when lime water is
added. thl3 is fixed on the flaky precipi
tate of magnesium hydrate, which falls.
to tne oottom. From this the gold Is set
free by tho addition of potassium cyan
ide, and can then be recovered by the
usual well-known methods. Professor de
"Wilde considers that much of the, gold In
sea water is thrown down to the bottom.

Gulls the Fishers' Pointers.
London Globe.
The failure of the sardine fishery Is
not the only disaster which has this
year befallen the Breton fishermen.
The gulls and other sea birds aro also
vanishing from the coast. This intensi
fies the calamity, because they are val
uable auxiliaries to the fisherman.
They are to him what tho pointer is to
the sportsman. Where the shoals of
sardines arc there do the seagulls
gather in flocks, and the fishing- boats
in the season follow their movements
with a confidence that Is never be
trayed. But people with cheap shooting-
licenses have of late years wrought
such havoc among these birds that
they arc deserting- the coast, and Brit
tany feels her misery becoming- more
than complete. Petitions are being
signed in the province praying for
lcglslatfvc prohibition of such useless
slaughter.

Such diseases call for Liquozone not
drugs, which can't kill germs.
Every germ attack, no matter what
Its symptoms, calls for a germicide.
The mildness of Liquozone makes some
of its results seem almost incredible.
But In that mildness lies the power
that germ diseases need. And diseases
which have, resisted medicine for
years often yield at once to it.
