Clainifd fry both Davey and Vawter in
the fight for Spoakfr in the Oregon Legis-
laturo some 18 membfra of the House of
Representatives evidently hold tlio issue
in their hands. Most of tliem, say the
Davpy men, have agreed to support
Davey. In letters to that candidate, but
tne Vawter forces aver that If such let
ters exiHt, Davey "holds them to mean
more than the writers intended.. The 18

votes a. Rrramble is on, both. Vawter and
Dawy havtnic pone to their county last
night, The third member lor Linn, Holt,
is conceded by Vawter to Davey, unless
he should decide to act with Brown and
l'pmeyer in going to Vawter. The three
Representatives met Monday without
making a choice and will meet again on
week from tomorrow to decide.

appear to have done much, yet ex
presses hope of securing them. Each
Is said to have given a letter pledge
to Davey.
It wll I be seen from the f oreRoinjr
that the active fisrlit centers are chiefly
I,inn and Washington Counties. The
tic-up of the three Lane votes to
Davey last Monday was a hard jolt to
Vawter. Mad he secured that coun
ty's three and then "Washington's
three, his followers say Davey would
have heen put out of business. Just
now the Davey forces are exerting:

WORKS HARD FOR LIBRARY
ICaat Side Improvement Association's
Plan.
At the meeting of the East Side Im
provement Association last nlgrht, O. M.
Sc-ott, chairman of the committee ap
pointed to look Into the proposition to
establish a permanent branch library In
Central East Portland, reported holding
a conference with members of the Port
land Library Association. Mr. Scott said
that Dr. Eliot and other members
of th library association wer greatly
interested " in the project, and were
anxious to have a branch on the East
Side, now that the High School was soon
to be occupied.
It waa reported that it would be neces
sary to secure the ground about fciast
Eleventh street, near East Morrison or
Belmont. It Is proposed. If the branch be
established by the Portland Library As
sociation, to place in it 2.VW) books, also
to loan it reference books. The main thing
will be to secure ground. Mr. Scott said
that a tiuarter-block would be wanted so
that the buiWinaj first erected could be
enlarged when necessary.
It was the sense ot the association that
a branch library for the East Side was
important and worthy of special effort.
The committee was continued, and loca
tions will be looked up. It is thought
the money with which to purchase the
site can be raised. , "
In the matter of fllline contracts for
the warehouse and wholesale district be
tween Union avenue and the Willamette
River, W. "L. Boise announced that a
definite proposition had been received
from the .Pacific Bridge Company to make
the fills. He further said that the offer
appeared satisfactory to the larger -prop-
erty-owners, and that the figures were
regarded as fair. The company, he said,
would nil either by dredge or by dump
cars, or both, that matter being left to
the company.
It was prepared to build a dredge, but
the contract would leave. tbe company free
to fill as it saw fit. the object being: to
got the Ailing done at reasonable figures.
Mr. Boise intimated that the contract
would likely be signed tip in a short
time. In- thljs connection. It was an
nounced that tbe O: It. & f. Co.
would proceed with the filling ot East
Second street at once.
Mr. Boise, as president- of the . asso
ciation, reviewed to some extent what
had been accomplished in the past jrear,
and said that the future was bright. Ex-
tensive- fills had been made the past year,
., , t Brratpr improvements were in pros
pect for 1007. He expressed the convic
tion that brick buildings would go. up
all over the warehouse district as soon
as the proposed fills had been made. The
opera-house on Grand avenue was com
ing, and hard surface pavements were to
be laid in every direction.
The meeting was characterized by an op
timistic spirit.
F. C. BAKER CRITIGALLY ILL
CONDITION' OP PROMINENT POIj-
ITIC1A.N IS MORE SKRIOIW.
Heart Action Is Impaired and Fear
Is Felt Tliat He May
Not Kccover.
Frank C. Baker, ex-chairman of tlie
Republican state central committee, and
former State Printer, is critically ill at
his homo on Twenty-fourth and Glisan
streets, His condition has heen precari
ous since last Wednesday and Sunday his
heart became .affected. Tr. Clarrw:e
Xichols. who is attending Mr. Baker,
said last night;
"Mr. Baker has been ill for a week, hut
ii n to Sunday we entertained hopes for
his immediate' recovery. Monday he was
apparently on the road to health, but
yesterday his heart action was bad all
clay. His ultimate recovery depends en
tirely on whether the heart will con
tinue to respond to stimulants. We have
hopes of . his recovery, but his condition
at present is quite serious."
Mr. Baker has heen a prominent figure
In Oregon politics for many years. In
1SS6 he was elected St;ite Printer and was
re-elected to the office in 18W. In 1S94
he was a candidate for re-election, but
was defeated for the nomination by V.
If. Leeds." r After his retirement from
office Mr. Baker did not cease his politi
cal activity and waa chosen chairman of
tlie Republican state central committee
and has held sex-eral other prominent po
sitions. Since his term as State Printer
expired he has been engaged in the com-
mission business in this city with his
father, W. W. Baker, who was formerly
editor of the Rural Spirit, a weekly pub
lication issued in Portland.
The illness which confined Mr. Baker
to his bed last week was caused by an
abcess in the middle oar. which was ac
companied hy other complications, and for
a time last week hfs recovery was des-
paired of. He rallied from that attack
however.

Krom this thne on Multnomah's goal

the magnificent punting of Bud James.
Multnomah kicked o fT to Seattle,
throwing tlie runner after he had made
Ave yards. Seattle smashed through
Multnomah's right wing by a series of
line plunges and shift plays to the 45
yard line, where the clam-rllorgrers were
penalized 15 yards for holdlnj? Blanch

James sent a high punt down the field
to Seattle's 40-yard line, downing the
runner in his tracks. James was train

and Jordan and Dowling were usually
on top of every play,
, Seattle ajaratn adopted the wing shift,
and had the locals looking- like a lot
of school boys. It was this simple
wing shift that enabled Seattle to gain
yardage. The line would shift and

. The unfortunate members of the Mult

the Held were full of spectators.
While Seattle had an extensive follow-

that of the University of Oregon at the
Thanksgiving game. The grandstand was
full of enthusiastic Multnomah rooters
and so had the better 'of it when it came

and a tally-ho bearing the white and blue

royally welcomed by both sides. The

Seattle recovered'the ball on a fumble,

Lonergan and Blanchard blocked on

Walker, who had taken Pratt's place

Pratt was hadly crippled before the
game, and was forced to give way to
"Walker in the second ha,lf. In the
second half the former Oregon Agri
cultural star gave the great Cutts all
that he could possibly handle, and a
trifle more at times. Walker was a
terror on defense, and on the offen

five to ton yards at a down.
Seattle held on her own 45-yard lfne

seven-yard line, where the runner wes

Multnomah's chance to score, and des

over, but in vain. Oolph and Ionergan,
who had been smashing Seattle's line to
shreds, could not gain, and after two
futile attempts James stepped back for
a drop-kick.

Pretty girls were plentiful, but there

rather longed for the field of big yellow
chrysa n themums and the bevy of Rirls
from Kugene, for Seattle, being so much
farther away from Portland, could not
bring so large a force of rooters.
1 1 was such an unheard-of proposition
for Multnomah to he beaten twice In the
same season and on her own gridiron,
too that yesterday's defeat rather stupe
fied the "faithful" for a bit. A rosy-
cheeked hiRh school girl attributed it to
the fact that the Portland boy "Just
wanted to be polite" to their company,
but her eHcort. who was evidently a

James punted out off bounds on Seattle a

Seattle put it all over the locals.- Mo
Donald and Barry plunged through the

till they had reached their own 30-yarI

Here Seattle was penalized because
Cutts had held, and on the next down
Bagshaw punted. From the center of the

best kicks of the game, but it rolled
across Seattle's goal line and was given

Bagshaw punted and a minute later
James hooted the ball to the very shadow

From this time till the close of the
game Cutts and the' entire Seattle team
did nothing? but attempt to delay the
game. It was great generalship on Se

disapproval from the grandstand. Seattle
feared the great right foot of Bud James
