A warm tight for the office of Mayor Lane Is In store for the city election next June and a bevy of aspirants for the J4S00 a year job are pluming their fine feathers. From the looks of things. Mayor Lane will not have smooth sled ding In bis own party for the primary nomination next April, for a bunch of Democratic warhorses, like those which fought Sheriff Word, are chafing the strand. In the coming contest the bel ligerents will probably be stronger, with perhaps John Manning, District Attor ney, for a bell-wether. At least this is the tale echoing on the curb, where the campaign for the next city government already has opened. And as for Mr. Manning's willingness to make the race he is mum as yet. Bctwen Mayor Lane and Mr. Manning there is little political love; the two rep reHcnt warring factions of the Demo cratic party the one under the name non-partisan, being headed by Mayor Lane, who has refused to run his office as a strict Democrat; the other headed by Mr. Manning, who, though not the ideal of all Democrats who believe In the spoils doctrine, still is favored so much more by them than is Mayor Lane that there is no doubt whatever where their votes would go In a fight between the two. Many Favor Spoils System. There are a great many Democrats who adhere to the spoils doctrine, both because some of them want loaves and fishes and because others, who don't need to be "taken care of" at the pie counter, don't want Republicans to feast on Democratic offices. While In Republican eyes Mayor Lane has been more of a Democrat than a non-partisan In distributing the good things, in the vision of the sore bunch he Is "bad medicine." "We taught Word that a Democrat can't ignore his party," they say, '.'and shall next teach Lane." This bunch has a considerable number of votes and will cast them for any Democrat rather than for Lane. For this reason, chiefly, they would support Manning. But in addition to their num ber, many other Democrats in the Dem ocratic fold are expected by the Man ning boomer to flock to their favorite, and then, too, they say Manning has perhaps as large a personal following In Multnomah as any other Democrat, not excepting even Governor Chamber lain. In June. 1904. he was elected Dis trict Attorney over Sanderson Reed, Republican nominee, by 3900 plurality. Manning's probing of alleged election frauds and of other abuses, his friends say. have made him a Folk or a Jerome in Multnomah, and they aver that it is In his power to secure almost any office in this county. They assert that he has been an active official in serving the people, doing more than his share to drive out gambling and other vices and that in doing so he has avoided the "mistakes of Word and Lane. Word's Foes Also Lane's. Most of the foes of Word in the April primaries are likewise enemies of Lane. They polled about 600 votes against Word's 1600. They are mostly lrreconclla bles. that bolted Word In the election; at least, such is the declaration of their prominent leaders. Though outvoted in the primaries, they my Word was boosted up by a large increment of Re publicans who pored as Democrats. This bunch expected the aid of Man ning's element for their fight against Word and say it was promised to them, else Malley would not have fought Word (or the nomination. But Manning did not Join with the Malley forces In the pri maries, with the result that Malley was overwhelmingly defeated. And how does Mayor Lane look on the Manning boom? Says nothing, but undoubtedly is doing a power of think ing. Some say that he is thinking so much that he is averse to running again. To persons who quiz him on this point Mayor Lane drops remarks that he would Just as soon be practicing medicine as presiding over the city's affairs; that he has found the job far from a snap, on account of Its toils and worries; that as for running again wcll, the election is too far ahead, and, in the words of his favorite expression: "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." "Oh, fudge," bashfully exclaimed John Manning, when the District Attorney's boom was mentioned to him. Mayor Lane was equally coy. Lane's Answer a Joke. "A year hence," he remarked, jesting ly, "I might be very popular Indeed, or 1 might be strung up to a lamp post." But It Is very probable that Mayor Lane will be a candidate for relectlon. From the appearance of things he would be prevented only by events too far re mote for expectation. There Is no as pirant for the mayoralty, either republi can or Democrat, who would confess his ambition so far ahead; at least none has done so thus far, though It is easy to guess the names of several who will be candidate. Mayor I.ane is in the same situation as the other aspirants. That he would like to succeed himself Is so very prob able as to be generally accepted as a fact, and that he will run again is regarded quite likely. Another with an ambition to be mayor is W. T. Vaughn, lone Democrat in the city council and Mayor Lane's bodyguard in that assembly. Mr. Vaughn hails from the tenth ward and Is a Word-Lane "non-partisan" Democrat. On the oppo site side of the Democratic household where the "straight party" element hangs out. R. D. Inman is the recipient of a boom, which, though faint as yet, fills his retinue with hope. Some Republican Timber. In the Republican camp, the most con spicuous aspirants are Thomas C. Devlin, now city auditor; Dr. Andrew C. Smith, ex-State Senator; William M. Cake, ex county Judge and brother of H. M. Caka, who ran for United States Senator In the April primaries; and John Annand, president of the council. These men have been trimming their sails, to catch the tradewlnds toward the mayoralty for some time. Mr. -Devlin would have been a candidate last year but for George H. Williams' being In the contest. At one time when it was an nounced that Mayor Williams might not run for re-election, Mr. Devlin's friends were framing things up for their man to enter the primary race. Dr. Smith's boomers were especially active at that same time also. John Annand has been shaping things for a year past so as to pave a way to the mayoralty ever since he was elected to the city council. He was boomed for Sheriff last Spring but stayed out of the light for that office in order to be eligible for the head of the city govern ment. Another member of the council who is mentioned frequently, is Thomas Gray. And still another man boomed for the honor Is Dan J. Malarkey, State Senator. Other offices' to be filled at next June city election are those of city auditor, treasurer, city attorney, police Judge and fifteen councllmen, one for each of the ten. wards and five at large. LOGGER KILLED BY CARS A. D. DAVIDSON CRUSHED TO DEATH NEAR STELLA, WASH. Body Brought to This City Will Be Taken to Eugene, Dead Man's Home. A. D. Davidson, a young man whose home was in Eugene and who has rela- tives in that city, was instantly killed near Camp No. 3 of the Eastern & West ern Logging Company, at Stella, Wash. yesterday afternoon. News of the trag edy reached this city last night when the train from Astoria arrived, bringing Davidson's body. Coroner Finley took charge of the body and removed It to. his undertaking establishment. It is proba ble that It will be shipped to Eugene for interment. The advices received by Mr. Finley are to the effect that Davidson was riding on the bumpers between two cars of a train loaded with logs when he met his death. As the train started down a heavy grade the cars were Jammed to- gether with terrific force and the unfor tunate logger's life was crushed out without warning. Davidson was about 32 years of age and was in the employ of the jogging company at me time or nis aeatn. AT THE THEATERS What tha Press Agents Say. "SAID PASHA" TONIGHT.

Miss Tannehill Is a creature who charms. She Is not so stunningly beautiful off the stage, although her features are come ly and regular. It Is her tearful soul, her electric temperament, the sympathetic Impinge of her extremely Interesting per sonality, that takes hold of one first. When she begins to talk you Know tnai you are in the presence of a rare being, who has enjoyed things Intensely, and also, suffered, who can lova well, and who can hate well, who is an artist of fine texture, a high-strung organism that has been Impelled to continual dalliance with the Joyful side of life, else she would be engulfed completely by the overpowering knowledge of the world's sadness. Hence a great deal of her magnetic at tractiveness. There is nothing that draws one so as the Instigation to laugh through tears. This phenomenal woman of the operatic stage incites you to mirth while her eyes tell you of sorrow even tragedy. It is like the woman who holds aloft a wine cup and quaffs the liquid amid hilar ious shouting and still at that moment her heart Is breaking. This duality of nature pulls humans close to the gifted object who can richly and beautifully simulate th. light and airy films of existence, while the burden of inevitable woe Is also mirrored in the windows of the soul. Philosophically, these words explain why Miss Tannehill is so instantaneously pop ular on the stage, and why she is loved by her , professional associates and her acquaintances. She cannot help it. She was made so. And,' ever since God put her Into the world, everybody else who has seen her activity has perceived that this particular piece of work was good. Go to the theater and watch while this woman comes before the footlights. She weighs about .155 pounds. Is of medium height, bright-faced, luminous-eyed. Then she sings. Ben Lodge exclaimed, the other dav. when he heard her voice for the first time in ten years: Bessie, you've got the pipes, Just the same as ever. Reynolds, the musical director, who He Meneir CH See Yesterday's (Sunday's) Papers for Detailed Advertisements SPECIAL VALS. IN Tailored Suits $37 Values $25.45 Clearance had not heard her for a similar length of time, remarked: "Bessie, you sing better than you did ten years ago."' The truth is that she is Just now In .her prime. She does not abuse her voice, and she Is careful not to do anything that may impair It. This means moderate living, and protecting herself, against excesses and dangers that might bring colds and complaints that would undermine her health and strength. When she comes on the stage and begins to sing, you know immediately that a new, glorious element Is in' the atmos phere. Here Is the experienced artist, confident of her power, feeling the music that her ringing, clear soprano peals forth reveling in the Joy of vocalization, trem bling with the vibrations of deviltry and fun, yet In a twinkling ready to chant the echoes of appealing tenderness or woe. That Is to say, that she is essentially dramatic In - her physical and mental make-up, and that her voice yields per fectly to her swift-changing moods. Nat urally does she sing and act. There Is an absence of artificiality about both that puts her audience at ease and lends ad ditional effect to her roles. She has had her biggest success in opera bouffe, wherein she has, in the course of her experience, taken up various lines, of stage work. She made a lasting Impres sion even on Lillian Russell in the Tllser song, "Maldle," back in the nineties, and she was the adored of the Press Club on reception nights in New York. -In, San Francisco the clubmen threw as many bouquets to her as to the prima donna of the opera at the Tivoll, although she sang the 'character" parts. This Is because she has that bubbling vivacity, abound ing kind-nature. Irresistibly melodious voice that won every heart. A woman like that, who will laugh at your least at tempt at wit, and cry if you point your finger at her. Is a perennial child, -who will be petted always and have a multi tude of devoted slaves at her side for ever. Miss Tannehill has been on the stage ever since she was a mere child, 8 or 9 years old. She was the adopted daughter of Mrs. H. L. Clark, who was leading woman with such men as Booth and For rest. Mrs. Clark put Bessie Into dramatic work very early and trained her. Mrs. Clark was a fine musician and taught Bessie to play the piano. The child was on the concert stage for some years and then took up the learning of parts for the dramatic- stage. Mrs. Clark also gave her the only instruction she ever bad In Fans !

TANNEHILL Cries at the Same Time vocal work. Bessie made her debut first In the drama with her mother and trav eled with her, afterward entering upon the musical portion of her public career. She practiced eight hours a day while with her mother, and studied six hours; still her mother wanted her to do more. That was the time that the mother dis covered that Bessie had a voice. Her ability to sit down and play any thing she likes at the piano Is the great est comfort she has in life. She says that she sings because she loves to do so, that she could not help singing, that she was always singing, even when she was a little tot. Her first success was as "Gabriel," in Rice's "Evangeline" com pany. One of her most conspicuous suc cesses was with Matthews and Bulger in "The Sad Sea Waves." In the season of 1900 she was at the Duquesne Garden in Pittsburg. She was with the Castle Square company In Chicago during the St. Louis Fair, and alternated between Chicago and St. Louis. She has sung tha dramatic parts in nearly all the Gilbert and' Sullivan operas. She was for three years with Savage. She says that her greatest hit was the "Widow" In the "Milk-White Flag." She wants to sing that role here before she leaves, and the public will want it, too. For the last three years she has' been In tha Tivoll, in San Francisco, singing at . the opening night of the new Tivoll Opera-House, September 24, 1903, and also at the closing night (the evennlg before the earthquake), in "Miss Timidity." April 17. 1906. She certainly was there at -the birth of the house and at its death. Many and many a time Miss Tannehill has yearned for grand opera. But It cost too much to get on in that line, she knew. She has any number of grand opera selec tions In her repertoie, but the lilt and spirit of opera bouffe Inspires her and appeals to her strongly. , She will sing a special song In "Said Pasha" next week; "The Secret," by Scott,, which she likes very much. At the Tivoll Miss Tannehill sang the character roles In all the most stunning successes, and became extremely popular while the five longest runs were in prog ress, namely: "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," "Robin Hood," "King Dodo," "Isle of Spice" and "The Torea dor." "I like a part like Theo, in The Round ers,' " said Miss Tannehill. "I like the mischief, and I know they want me for the acting.
