THE .MOBNIXG OEGONIAN, MONDAY, 3IABCH 5, 1906 ft- SWEEP IS ASSURED Strong Hopes of Success by Seattle Republicans. 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.

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.

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 crowd. It Is asserted, does not want to lose Its existing rights, while the Harri man people want the franchise held off until their plans are complete.

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." CHINESE REACH ST.

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.

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. "Whether the gold can be profitably ex tracted by the above method docs not. yet appear.

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. AT THE HOTELS. The Portland B. LechtlR: D. Kandolph. Chicago: L. J. Fallr. R. Warner.
