INTEREST AT HIGH PITCH .Seattle's Mayoralty Contest Such a Close Fight That Little Money Is Wagered on Result Vote To day Will Be Very Heavy. SEATTI.K, Wash.. March 2. (Spe cial.) With the close of speechmak lng in a dozen or more different places here tonight, 'the' city campaign ends. ,and to one of the bitterest contests in the history of the city finis has been written. .Starting out as a "sentle manly" contest, the campaign at its close has developed Into mud slinging In which both leading contestants of the highest offices in the city and their managers have Indulged without stint. That the tight will be close and has assumed a serious aspect may be count ed from the fact that Governor Mead was injected into the local fight. Gov ernor Mead was the principal speaker at a rally held Tuesday night, when there was a great gathering of state wide prominent llepuhlicans. Aside from the mayoralty contest, scarcely any other office Is mentioned. Monster Meetings Last Night. Foth leading candidates for Mayor, John H. Miller. Republican, ancii William Hick man Moore, who is the standard-bearer for the City Party, closed tonight s cam paign with monster meetlnss. The Mil or meeting at the new Moore Theater, which seats .WO persons, was 'the largest attended puhltc meeting ever witnessed In Seattle. Only the limit of the confines at the Mavor Moore closing rally pre vented that meeting also being among the list of record-breakers. .The Demo- ' crats held meetings, but these were not largely attended. It is considered doubt ful ifGeneral J.' B. Metcalf, Democratic I candidate for Mayor, will poll the full i strength of his -party.; so bitter has be come the fight between the Republican and City party. It Is believed that many Iiemoor'ais will ally themselves on one ! side or the other. Within the last week or ten days the '! ifsue between the City party atid Re- i - ,, .. wunmyftra hnji been cen- ! tfred on the police administration of the ' city. Chief 'Wappenstein has been the bene of contention, all other Issues being . sidetracked, aside from the removal of the restricted district. Clancys Back lTp Moore. One of the features of the campaign has been the work of the Clancy saloon ' element in the First Ward. At the out set of the campaign. Miller practically resd the Clancys out of the party and declined to permit them to serve, on the working committee for the, election. The Clancys have allied themselves with ) Mayor Mporo and their influence is felt sirorusly In the First Ward. Close observers of the fight -which has been waged are unwilling to hazard a guess as to the-final outcome. It is ad mitted the count will be close. There is but little betting aside from that in the poolrooms and few odds are offered on the result. STATE'S RECEIPTS ARE HEAVY Washington Incorporations Come to Time With License Tax.- OLYMPIA.

S BILL PUZZLES BOARD Provision Regarding Lieu Land Selections Not Understood -by Members.' OF NO BENEFIT TO STATE Board Believes It Should Have Been Consulted in the MatterPros- " ress of Bill Will Be Watched With Great Interest. ' SALEM. Or., March 2. (Special.) Mem bers of the State Land Board are unable to understand the language of a bill re cently Introduced by Senator Fulton au thorizing states to select land in lieu of lands included within forest reserves. The Board was not consulted! on the sub ject and the first intimation the mem bers had that any such step was to be taken was the announcement in news dispatches that the bill had been Intro duced. As this was a matter of great importance to the state the Board im mediately telegraphed' to Senator Fulton for a copy of the bill. It arrived today and is as follows: Main Point Not Lucid. That in lieu of sections 16 and 36 of the public domain, which have been grantee! to states or. territories for edu cational purposes, and which may be included .within forest reserves, when ever the public lands available for lieu selections shall not represent a cash value equal to the minimum price at which lands so granted shall be sold according to the provisions of the law authorizing the grant, then and there upon the several states and territories shall be authorlied to make lieu selec tions from forest reserves of such lands as may be agreed upon by the Department of Forestry and the state or territory to which the land grants may have been made; provided, how ever, that no state or territory shall select lands not located within its own domain. The portion of this bill which members of the State Land Board are entirely un able to undterstand is that clause reading "whenever the public lands available for lieu selections shall not represent a cash value equal to the minimum price at which lands so granted shall be sold according to the provisions of the .law authorizing the grant." Oregon Has No Minimum Price. So far as members of the Board know there is no minimum price fixed by the law authorizing the grant of school lands. But if there were a minimum price fixed at M.25 or C50 per acre, as in the case of railroad grant lands, this bill would be of no use to the state, for the state is now getting S.75 an acre for lieu lands selected upon forest reserve base. Since . i , 1.MI nn benefit to the im Ulll i-umu -- state and has provisions the purpose ot which are shrouaea in mysiery, mo xum is at a loss to understand why It was in troduced.

INDIANS PROVE HE SIGHT WASHINGTON STARES IN OPEN MOUTHED WONDER. One Virginia Youth Concludes That Fort Hall Brave9 With Senator Borah Are Foreigners. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. March 2. "I'll bet dem Injuns raises merry hell befo' dey gits out o' town." This remark fell on the ear of Senator Borah, of Idaho, the other day as he was parading down Pennsylvania avenue with three braves from the Fort Hall reservation. Turning about, he saw three old-time negroes, huddled together on the curb, gazing with intense Interest at the red men. They stared not in ad miration, but in awe, an awe much akin to fear. Each one displayed a vast ex panse of white in his eyes; those three pairs of eyes literally stuck clear out of their sockets. The negro does not show fear in the same way as the white main; the negro's hair cannot stand on end. But his eyes have a way of expanding that is still a mystery to the best of oculists. Each one of that little group was scared through and through, for the Eastern and Southern negro has not yet learned that the denatured reservation Indian of the present day is very different from his death-dealing ancestor who in times past rode the Western plains. - Nor were the negroes the only natives interested in Senator Borah's little band. The Senator had been absorbed . In ' the conversation of the IndianB. carried on through their Interpreter, and had failed to notice the interest that centered in his party. .But on the rest of his walk to the .Capitol he was made painfully aware of the fact that a real live Indian Is a rare curiosity in the National capi tal and attracts as much attention among the white population as among the dusky citizens of African parentage. The fact is that in these days very few Indians come to Washington. - In years past it was a more or less common thing for delegations of red men to come down for a pow-wow with the Great Father but the present administration has dis couraged these pilgrimages, and instead has sent its representatives to confer with the Indians on their reservations. This saves the Indians money and enables the Government to get an unbiased view of the various Indian troubles. When Gro ver Cleveland was in the White House, many Indians found their way here; some came In blankets, some bedeekea in feathers and other paraphernalia of the past decade and still others wore the civilized dress of the white man. The few who have been here. in recent years have laid aside tlfe blanket and feathers and have little to identify them besides DEBATERS j John Motley. High School debating team won Motley. their stoic countenances, copper color and broad-brimmed "cowboy" hats, as Wash ington styles them. .. This was the garb of the Fort Hall Indians, but the absence of characteris tic Indian dress did not lessen public curiosity. When he got to his committee room Senator Borah, in relating his ex perience, said he thought everybody had seen an Indian, but -he --was forced to change his mind; he was satisfied after his walk that 90 per cent of the people of Washington had never gazed on one of the "original American citizens." Which remark recalls a comment made on this same group of Fort Hall Indians as they were walking through the Capitol building one day. A callow youth from the wilds of Virginia (and the wilds of Virginia can make the wild West look tame) passed the red men and, turning to his companion, called attention to the dark-ekinned visitors, "I guess them's foreigners," he said. Pari, "has addea to Its automobllv ref lation, a law requiring- automobiles to .lop aftar cu1nic an accident, and imposing both Imprisonment and fine as the penalty of an attempt to escape. English mm DEMAND TARIFF Worcester Growers Alarmed at Movement for Combine on Pacific Coast. SUBJECT. OF AN. INQUIRY Government Promises to Appoint Committee to Look After Inter est of English Hopgrowers. Labor Element Affected. SALEM. Or.. March 2. (Special.) That the efforts of the Pacific Coast Hopgrowers to perfect an organization will result in the establishment of an import duty on hops by Great Britain, is the opinion of some of the hopdealeri 1 William Hickman Moore, Cltr Parry Nominee tor Mayor ot Seattle. In Salem, and they find support for this view In a recent article in the Kentish Observer, the leading authority on hops in England. The Observer quotes at length a recent letter oy m. H. Durst, in whish Mr. Durst asserts that the Pacific Coast can raise hops so much cheaper than the English grower can that eventually this countiy will supply tne Brmsn maraet. The Durst letter is published in full by the Observer for. the purpose of letting the English growers know what is going on across the Atlantic As showing, the demand among grow ers in England that their industry be given protection against the American hops, the Observer publishes an ac count of proceedings of the Hereford shire and Worcertorshire Hopgrowers' Association at Worcester. The report of the meeting-follows: "View Situation With Alarm. T. Lawson Walker (Worcestershire), moved a resolution calling the atten tion of the government to the serious fiositlon of the hop industry, and point ng out that during the past 15 years 22.000 acres of hop-growing land had rnne out of cultivation, the reduction for the past season being estimated at 6000 acres, causing loss oi empioymfin. to 5000 permanent hands and 260,000 pickers, the cause being foreign com rtotirtnti The resolution was carried unanimously. J. M. Parry moved: "That this meeting views witn aiarm tne ai tomrtt marie in America to form a com blnation with the express object of capturing the British market by send ing surplus produce en to the British market at the beginning of each sea son, and thereby glutting it when the English crrowth is just coming for ward." Mr. Parry said the Americans claimed that their proposals would en able them to send to tne fjngnsn mar ket, In five years, more than double their present expert to that market. It was a ridiculous policy for English irrnui'tu tn crn on reduciner their acre age. The only remedy was an import duty upon foreign hops. It was true that the present government was not a tariff-reform government, but they had promised to make a general inquiry th fnriustrv. nn in fairness hOD- growers must give them a chance. Brewers must see that if the present state uf things continued they would eventually be absolutely dependent upon the foreigner for hops, and then tne price would rise. The recent by electioiis. including the wonderful vic tory of the tariff reformers at Worcester, led them to hope that be fore long they would be able to present their case to a government in sympathy therewith. Other speakers followed in the same strain, only one hopgrower, W. Mitchell, opposing the motion. He argued that hopgrowers were a small minority of agriculturists, generally sneaking, and that an import duty upon hop3 would be a selfish policy. The industry only encouraged migratory labor. The resolution was carried with one dissentient, and another one thank ing the Chancellor of the Exchequer for his promise to appoint a select com mittee to inquire into the hop Industry, and expressing a h6pe that it would be appointed forthwith, and report as early as possible, was carried unani mously. Government Inquiry Promised. The Observer says further: In the House of Commons on Thurs day night Laurence Hardy (Ashford Division) moved as an amendment, to add to the address: "But we humbly represent to Your Majesty that the critical condition of the hop industry, which involves so great a diminution in rural employment, requires urgent and remedial consideration from your majesty's government.' The hop in dustry, he said, gave a larger amount of employment than any other agricul tural InduFtrv, and the class that was most rerlousiy affected by its present condition was the class of laborers. The cultivation of the crop was gradually decreasing. Mr. Courthope (Rye Division) sefc onded. Mr. Asquith . (Chancellor of the Ex chequer! said the amendment had the full sympathy of the government. He did not conceive It possible that an effective remedy would be afforded by the Imposition of a protective -duty, but at the same time he felt that the mat ter was one which was ripe for further investigation. He would suggest, there fore, that the amendment should be withdrawn, in which case the govern ment would consent to the appointment at the earliest possible moment of a select committee to Inquire into the present condition of the Industry and to see if a remedy could be found for the evils of which complaint had been made. (Cheers.) The amendment Was withdrawn. Refuses Ball Franchise. SPOKANE! Wash.. March 2. (Spe cial.) H. L.

Asked whether or not the j water Power company would consider ac cepting a franchise in the Northwestern League, were it offered them, Mr. Bleecker tersely replied: "We would not." LABOR AGAINST PROMS New York Federation Acta Brewers Oppose D-lsreputable Saloons. NEW YORK, March 2. Opposing New York state's most recent proposed par ticipation in th movement against the liquor traffic, the Central Federated Union- yesterday adopted resolutions against the local option bills now before the Legislature, declaring the bills, in the event of their passage to be the forerun ners of prohibition. The federation's res olution asserts that local option or prohi bition laws would throw hundreds of thousands of people out of work includ ing brewers and bartenders, carpenters, butchery, blacksmiths and workers In about 20 other callings. It was decided to send copies of the resolutions to every labor organisation. through the state and to Governor Hughes and the Board of Alderme'n. It was also decided to appoint a committee of three to attend the hear ings of all such bills and oppose them. Another phase of the liauor question was dealt with In an announcement last night by the New York State Lager Beer Brewers' Association that the brewers of this state have inaugurated, a campaign to force the closing of undesirable saloons and disreputable resorts by makhi6 It impossible for their proprietors to obtain bonds from reputable bonding companies. The association purposes to compel a sa loon or cafe proprietor to present positive evidence- that his place is reputable to a committee of the brewers, a committee of the bonding companies and a committee of reputable citizens before he can secure the bond required by the excise laws.
