TALKS ON ELECTION
Dr. Brougher Urges All to Vote
for Harry Lane.
RECOMMENDS OTHERS, TOO
Get Together Is Subject Taken by
Whfte Temple Pastor for Politi
cal Sermon Speaks on
Good Government.
Evidence of the Intense interest in to
day's municipal election was shown at
the White Temple last night. The pastor.
Dr. J. Whitcomb Brougher, had an
nounced that he would discuss the merits
of some of the rival candidates and the
result was that the large church audi
torium was filled to overflowing before
the hour for the service had arrived.
' Got Together" was the theme of Dr.
Brougher's remarks. He urged all friends
of good government to go to the polls
&nd vote for Dr. Lane and he cited a
number of reasons why the present Mayor
nhould he retained for 'another term. As
a prelude to his sermon. Dr. Brougher
Mpoke briefly of his recent visit to the
Jamestown Exposition. A synopsis of his
sermon follows;
Today we can hardly find men to run for
office who are unselfish enouyh to makU
the personal and business sacrifices required,
to fulfill faithfully these positions of re
sponsibility and trust. 1 stood in the church
at Richmond, Va., where Patrick Henry
delivered his speech on "Give Me Liberty or
Give Me Death." I tried to recall the scenes
of that occasion. As I stood at the place
where he Is said to have stood I breathed
a prayer for my country, and asked God
to give us a few men in public life today
who would rather die than betray their
trust when people elect them to office.
We are just entering upon an election
tomorrow for various city officials. I wish
that both parties had nominated men of
undoubted character for every office to be
filled, but this can hardly be expected
whre partisan politics control. Both the
dominant parties have their good and bad
elements. Whenever the gang that believes
In an open town gets into control they
nominate men who are ready to favor their
interests. It Is a very difficult matter for
a conscientious Christian man to know just
what to do. If you haven't time to per
sonally Investigate every man running for
office, get the Municipal Association ticket
and vote that.
I am going to say a word, however, con
rernlng the men running for Mfcyor. I am
not surprised that many voters are some
what puzzled. If you listen to one set of
men you could well believe that Dr. Lane
was both a saint and a scoundrel. Talk
to another crowd and you conclude the same
bout Mr. Devlin. Now, I do not know
anything about Mr. Devlin personally, but
after summing up everything that has been
said on both sides I have come to this
concluslonA-that Dr. Lane Is as good as
Mr. Devlin; that Mr. Devlin Is as bad
is Dr. Lane. Now then, supposing; that
both men are equally good and bad, shall
we get straddle of the fence or shall we
go beyond the personal element and take
sides with the one that we believe will
conHult the wishes and carry out the will
of the good people most readily? I believe
this to be our duty, and with this Idea in
mind, I advise every good citizen, whether
Catholic or Protestant, Jew or Gentile, who
believes In law enforcement and the purity
of cur city to vote for Dr. Harry Lane.
I do this for three or four reasons.
Reasons for Lane's Election.
I believe Pr. Lane to be as honest ft
man as Mr. Devlin. He has promised to do
'better in the future than he has in the
pant. He may not have done all that we
wanted him to do in the past, but he has
don-a much that the good people have asked
him to do. I believe the experiences of
the past two yeaj-s will make It possible for
him to do much more in the future. Dr.
Lane has been handicapped In many ways
during the past two years by a majority of
t he Council and by various complications
in the police and detective departments of
the city government. He is getting these
matters somewhat straightened out, and can
do better service in the next two years
than In the post.
The open -town crowd, including the
Wholesale Li-.uor Dealers' Association and
various other lawless elements, are all linrd
up behind Mr. Devlin. Mr. Devlin may bo
a good man, but he is in bad company. He
may not have promised them anything, but
his lieutenants evidently have. The liquor
dealers never support a man from whom
they do not expect something. They are
not supporting Dr. Lane this time. He will
owe them nothing when he Is elected. If
the decent element stands solidly for Dr.
Lane, we will have a right to insist that
certain things be done for the good of our
city, and have every reason to believe that
our wishes will be respered and carried
out. If Mr. Devlin is elected, the advice
of i he good people of this city will never
le asked. The liquor interests selected Mr.
Devlin out of four nominees of the Repub
lican party and worked tooth and nail for
his nomination. They are now working
hair and hide for his election. If he U
elected, of course they will have more in
fluence with him than the decent people of
the city. Why shouldn't they?
Church Vote Should t'nlte.
If Mr. Lane is elected, it will be because
every morally upright cltlien who believes
In a "square dal" gets in and votes for
him. 1 believe that Dr. Lane will do more
tn carry oat the wish of the morally upright
rltlzt-n than Mr. Devlin will. The trouble
with church members Is that they get be
wildered by the multiplicity of conflicting
irleas and then divide their vote between
two candidate, while the liquor crowd
stands shoulder to shoulder for the man
they expect to influence afterwards in be
half of their business. Church members
re politically Insane. You probably know
that two Idiots never think alike at the same
time. Whenever one idiot thinks exactly like
another Idiot at the same time it is good
evidence that he Is becoming sane. It is
a difficult matter to get the various church
members of the various denominations to
think exactly alike at the same time on
politico I questions. We usually convince
the public of our idiocy at every election
cn this account. I am glad, however, that
in this city we are becoming more sane. Let
is prove our sanity tomorrow by voting sol
idly for Pr. Lane as Mayor, for Fred King
as Councilman in the Fourth Ward and for
at) othr men who represent the principles
of good government.
Dr. Broughor closed with a short talk on
Ms impressions of the Jamestown repo
sition. He said the fair is still unfinished
and would not advise any one to go there
before SeptrmSor.
KILLS TO PROTECT MOTHER
Voting Miner Slays Father Because
of His Inhuman Conduct.
SEATTLE, Wash.. June 2. Special.
C W. Morris, a 20-year-old miner, nt
Franklin, a Pacific Coast Company min
ing camp in this county shot his father

mother from continued atuse and assault.

early this morning and began to abuse
and attack his wife.
Young Morris, asleep upstairs, heard
the noise and hurried to the room with
a revolver. . Ho forced his father to
cnase bis attacks and started to leave the
room. As soon as young Morris' back
was turned, the elder man is said to
have renewed his attacks on his wife.
The son turned from the doorway and
fired at his father. Then he went out
and gave himself up to a Deputy Sheriff.

open. Miscreant Kills Horses.
ALBANY, Or., June 2. (Special.) M. J.
Nye, of Sweet Home, Is vainly endeavor
ing to Becure some trace of the person
who kilted his horses out of spite. About

ture on the very edge of the town of
Sweet Home. Believing it was the deliber
ate work of enemies, Nye kept his horses
in his barn after securing new ones, until
a few days ago. Then he turned them
out In the same pasture and the very next
morning he found one of them, with Its
leg shattered by a rifle bullet. Nye has
suspicions but lacks proof.

Victim a Clatskanle Man.
ASTORIA. Or.. June 2. (Special.) The
man who was killed while at work on the
Astoria & Columbia Railroad Company's
steam shovel a few days ago and who
was supposed to have been Thomas Quick
of Tillamook, proves to have tieen Thom
as Gallagher of Clatskanie. The mistake
In identification was made by the fact
that Quick's pocketbook. containing a
number of papers and his receipts for
lodge dues were in the dead man's pock
ets and the error was not discovered until
today when D. B. Quick, of Hillsdale, a
brother of Thomas Quick came here to
see the remains. He identified the body
as that of Gallagher. Arrangements had
been made to ship the body to Tillamook
as Quick belonged to the 1. O. O. F. lodge
of that place and but for the fact that
the steamer Elmore Is on the drydock
they would have been sent several days
ago.

ON EVE OF ELECTION
Estacada Will Choose Officials
Tomorrow.
CONTEST FOR MAYOR CLOSE
Dr. W. K. Haviland and J. W. Reed
Wage Warm Battle and In
dulge in Charges and
Counter-Charges.
The town of Estacada la in the throes
of a municipal campaign, which will be
settiea at tne election tomorrow. Fol
lowing are the two opposing tickets:
Mayor, J. W. Reed; Councilmen, W. J.
Jones, First Ward; C. V. Howe. Second
Ward; L. C. Posson, Third Ward; E. A.
Miller, Fourth Ward; W. F. Carey, Fifth
Ward. Opposition ticket Major, Dr. W.
K. Haviland; Councilmen, A.. Morrow,
First Ward; Edward Mallory, Second
Ward; William Dale, Third Ward; E. F.
Surface, Fourth Ward; J. F. Lovelace,
Fifth Ward: Recorder, A. N. Johnson;
Treasurer, H. Cooper.
The chief contest seems to be over the
Mayoralty, although both sides hope to
capture a majority of the Council. J.
W. Reed has been Mayor of Estacada
since It was made a city two years ago,
and the opposition declares the affairs
of the city have not been managed in the
interests of the people, and have selected
Dr. W. K. Haviland, a prominent physi
cian, to head the opposition ticket. A
strong effort is being made to secure his
election on the ground that a radical
reform is needed in the administration
of city affairs.
The opposition further assert that Mr.
Reed cannot take the office even if he
be elected because of his connection with
the alleged Sellwood election frauds, and
that in case he is elected, proceedings
will at once be started to prevent his
taking office.
It is alleged that the purchase of the
present water plant was a deal in which
the city was worsted. The city paid
about $6800 for the plant. It is said that
the water plant is not worth more than
$2500. It is pointed out that when it was
proposed to purchase the plant, a com
mittee of citizens made a thorough in
vestigation and estimated the value of
the plant at $4000, and so reported to a
mass meeting of citizens, which was
nevertheless dominated by the friends of
Mayor Reed and the Council. The meeting
voted that the plant be purchased, with
out recommending any price. The Coun
cil then bought the plant for $6800. The!
Council issued bonds to the amount of
$10,000 to pay for the plant and make
Improvements. The supporters of the
ticket of which Dr. Haviland is the head
Bay the interests of the city were not
safeguarded in this deal, and allege that
the water plant is wfiolly inadequate and
the Council has failed to improve the
plant. At times, declare the opposition,
there is no water, and it is said the
next day after the deal was closed the
new motor that had been used to pump
with was removed and an Inferior one
put in its place. Dr. Haviland declared
yesterday that the water plant Is nearly
worthless in its present condition.
Row Over Street . Paving.
The biggest row was over a street con
tract for paving several of the streets
with crushed rock. Al Lindsey secured
the contract, the whole amounting to
$11,200, and an average of $75 and $86 per
lot. T. J. Wlrtz and Jack Cassaday re
monstrated against the improvement on
one of the streets, and it Is alleged an at
tempt was made to bribe them to with
draw the remonstrance. Wirtz and Cass
aday were assessed $640 for their part of
the street improvement, and they charge
that J. W. Reed, E. L. Fraley, W. R.
Carey and R. A. Stratton offered them
$135 to withdraw their remonstrance,
which they regard in the nature of a
bribe. Wlrtz afterwards sold out his
property on the street to Mayor Reed.
But the opposition to the improvement
got the matter into court with the result
that Contractor Lindsey was enjoined
from proceeding with the work, and the
final hearing is yet to be had.
Dr Haviland and his friends say the
work for which the contract was let for
$11 can be done for $5000 or $6000. The
opposition to the present administration
also urge that for the past two years the
accounts of the city have been loosely
kept, that no financial statement has
ever been made by the present Recorder,
and no one can tell anything about the
finances of the city. It is also said that
the City Treasurer never saw the $10,000
for which the bonds of the city were sold
and all he has to show for it is a re
ceipt. These are the main items for
which the opposition arraign Mayor Reed
and his administration. They even say;
that his election means a heavy blow to
the town.
Defends Mayor Reed.
J3 TU Fraley. cashier of the Estacada
State Bank, of which Mayor Reed Is
manager, makes a very vigorous defense
of the Mayor, and characterizes his de
tractors as kickers and enemies to the
progressive and good name of Estacada.
"Mayor Reed." said Mr. Fraley, "has
been made the object of all these attacks,
but none of these men who have been at
tacking him have done so in the open and
over their own names. If they did.
Mayor Reed would know how to reacT?
them They do not dare to make definite
charges against the Mayor or anybody
connected with the city government.
Every transaction concerning the munici
pal government of Estacada is absolutely
straight and fair and will bear the closest
scrutiny. Mayor Reed defies any one to
prove In a single instance where he has
been guilty of a dishonest act In connec
tion with the city government.
"Again, the charge that we made an
attempt to bribe some of the property
owners to withdraw their remonstrance
is absurd and false. Nothing of the sort
was done. A city must make improve
ments. It must improve Its streets, or It
cannot go ahead. When It was found
that the paving of the streets was liable
to be obstructed, rather than see the im
provement fall through, we did offer to
assist Wirtz and Cassaday to pay their
assessments. That was all. I believe
we offered to assist these men to the
amount of $135.. There is not a thing in
anv of these charges.
Estacada is being badly Injured by the
statements that have been made by the
opposition and we feel it already. Mayor
Reed's experience at Sellwood was un
fortunate, but if the truth was known,
as it will be some time, it will be seen
that he received very unfair treatment."
Mayor Reed Talks.
Mayor Reed supplemented the statement
of Mr. Fraley to some extent, but what
he said was practically the same. He
said:
"My whole object has been and is now
to build up and improve Estacada. I have
been charged with everything on earth,
and none making the charges come out
in the open over their signature. If they
did that they would be called on to prove
what they charge."
The vote tomorrow Is expected to be
close on the Mayoralty. Mayor Reed and
Dr. Havtland have been identified with
the growth of Estacada since it became
the terminus of the O. W. P. Railway,
Mr. Reed is a trustee of the Methodist
Church recently built, and be contributed
largely toward It. Dr. Haviland Is a
clean-cut man. who evidently believes that
the town should be reformed, and he is
a man of ideas, which he Is able to ex
press. Many of the charges made on
either side are of such & nature that they
border closely on the libelous, but all the
bitterness will likely be forgotten in a
week after the election, no matter which
way it goes.
ANOTHER ALBANY INDUSTRY
New Iron Works and Foundry Will
Be Installed.
ALBANY, Or., June 2. (Special.)
An iron works, equipped with a com
plete plant for the manufacture of all
kinds of machinery and general foun
dry work, will be installed In Albany

All of the Watson brothers have had
extensive experience in this line of
work. Frank Watson, who has lived
here a number of years, worked for
eome time in the Albany Iron Works,
which Is one of the biggest plants of
the kind in the state, and a few
months ago established a mochlne
shop here. The other brothers have
worked in big manufacturing estab
lishments in Seattle and Tacoma.
It Is the purpose of the new plant
to make a specialty of lodging en
gines, but all kinds of machinery will

Accepts New School Building.
CENTRALIA, Wash.-, June 2. (Spe
cial.) rThe building committee of the
Board of Education has formally ac
cepted the new school building, just
completed. It will be known as the
Washington School. The new school
building is the finest building of its

pils. F1LEBR1EF0H REFEREHDUM
APPROPRIATION BILL PETI
TIONERS ANSWER CRAWFORD
Counsel Holds That Request for Re
ferring This Matter Is Not De
fective and Is In Legal Form.
SALEM. June 2. (Special.) Tllmon
Ford, attorney for the petitioners who
demanded the referendum upon the
university appropriation bill, has pre
sented to the Attorney-General a brief
discussing the sufficiency of the peti
tion and urging that the Attorney
General should advise the Secretary of
State to file the petitions. It will be
remembered that several days ago Attorney-General
Crawford had prepared
an opinion in which he advised the
Secretary that the petitions were fa
tally defective because the copy of the
title of the act was not complete. Be
fore the opinion had been transmitted,
Mr. Ford appeared and asked time to
file a brief, .and Mr. Crawford, admit
ting that there was ground, for argu
ment, granted the request.
In his brief, Mr. Ford shows that the
act governing the exercise of the ref
erendum power does . not require that
the title of a law be set forth, though
there is a space left in the referendum
blanks for the title of the act. Imme
diately following the forms prescribed
by law there is the provision, "The
forms herein given are not mandatory,
and if substantially followed in any
petition it shall be sufficient, disre
garding clerical and merely technical
errors."
Mr. Ford argues that the petition
would be sufficient If all the title had
been omitted and merely the copy of
the act given, but if it be necessary to
include the title, he insists that since
the substance of the title has been
given it is sufficient, for that would
be a substantial compliance with the
form prescribed. The law makes an
exception in the case of clerical errors,
and the omission being merely a part
of the title, he argues that this omis
sion should at least be held to be an
immaterial clerical error.
He quotes a number of definitions
of the word "substantial" and says that
any compliance with the forms pre
scribed is a substantial compliance If
it makes certain the act upon which
the referendum 1st being demanded.
Since this petition sets forth the act in
full, gives the substance of the title,
gives the number of the bill, and there
is no other act in the session laws
having a similar title, or even bearing
upon the same subject, he urges that
the petitioners have Indicated beyond
possible doubt the act they want re
ferred to the people. If there Is any
doubt, or- any room for doubt, as to
what act is mentioned and copied In
the petition, Mr. Ford says he will con
cede that the petition is not a sub
stantial compliance with the require
ments. Attorney-General Crawford, is out of
the city at present on a trip to Coos
Bay, but will return in a few days
and will probably then take up the
farther- consideration of the university
referendum petition. j
BIG MONTH IN LAND OFFICE
Receipts for May Reach Total of
$100,797.01.
SALEM, Or., June 2. (Special.) Re
ceipts of the State Land Office for the
month of May amounted to $100,797.01,
which is the largest sura collected in one
month for several years. The reason for
the large collections during the jast
month is that many holders of state land
certificates which had been under inves
tigation were permitted to pay the bal
ances due and take deeds. Presumably
there will be large payments from the
school fund In the near future when
some of the holders of fraudulently pro
cured certificates surrender " the- paper
and take back the partial payments they
have made. Under the act of the last
legislature the State Land Board has the
power, in its discretion, to pay back the
purchase price when the certificates are
cancelled. The Board has indicated an
Intention to follow this "policy where the
party asking the repayment is not plain
ly a party to the fraud. In many cases
where the state recovers title to the land
and repays the money, the Mate will be
able to sell the land again at an advanced
price, while in other instances there will
be no Immediate demand for the land at
prices above those paid in the first In
stance. Where land is in a forest re
serve the state can use it as base for the
selection of lieu land and thereby secure
for It $6 or more per acre whereas It sold
for only $1.25 to the land speculators,
whose certificates have been cancelled.

Irvington Park is only 20 minutes' ride from the heart of
Portland, on the Alberta earline, now completed almost to the
property, with a certainty of completion to the center of the tract
in a short time. Portland has expanded right up to the very edge
of this splendid addition, which fact alone makes a lot in this
tract a valuable investment.
Residence lots within a stone's throw of this property are
selling for twiae what we are now asking you for a 50x100 lot in
this ideal spot for a home. Lots" twice as far away are selling
for much more money; lots without half the modern improvements
we are giving here are being sold for twice our price. No more
desirable, perfect home park lies out of doors than in IRVIN'G
TON PARK, the recognized lowest-priced residence addition in
Portland.
