No Danger of Losing Its

CONGRESSMAN VOTE TELLS
Democrats Will Have Candidate in
( Kach District Polled More Than
Required 25 Per Cent
in 1906.
Democrat have no fear that their
party will lose its identity in the next
two years, or participation in the pri
maries. Leaders of the party say they
will have a complete county ticket In
Multnomah and a ticket, and at least
partly filled, In the state. The party
will have its candidates for Represent
ative in Congress in each of the two
Congressional districts. The party vote
for such candidate determines whether
the party shall be recognized under the
direct primary law and be entitled to
participate in the primaries.
Although but few Democrats have
been presented to the primaries by pe
tinn, for nomination, a full list will be
presented by Democratic voters In. the
primaries, by writing their names on
the ballots. In this way Mayor LaiYfe
was nominated last May by the Demo
crats over his party rival who had
hen presented to the primaries by pe
tition. George K. Chamberlain will be
nominated in this way for United
States Senator and perhaps Milton A.
Miller for Representative In Congress
in the First district. The ticket pro
posed by the Kentucky Klick of Port
land will be "written In." This ticket
contains, Desldes the name of Chamber
Inln, those of Oliver P. Coshow, of
Koaeburg, for Supreme Judge; J. N.
Tral for Railroad Commissioner, and a
I in t of others for a complete state and
county ticket. In the Second Congres
sional district two Democrats will com
pete for the party nomination for Rep
resentative John A. Jeffrey, of Port
land, and Andrew J. Derby, of Hood
River.
Iegal Definition of Party.
A political party in the meaning of that
law is one that cast at least 26 per cent
of the total vote for Congressmen In the
whole state in the preceding election.
In the June election, iUt6, Democrats cast
Tli per cent of the total vote in Ore
unn for Congressman. Republicans cast
rW Pfr cent. Socialists 74 per cent and
Prohibitionists 4H per cent. The only
parties participating in the coming pri
maries, therefore, are the Republicans
and the Democrats.
Should the Democratic party fail to
have candidates for Representative In
;"ongTes.s next June or should its can
didates fall to receive 35 per cent of the
total state vote for the two seats In Con
cress, the Democratic party would be
marred from the primaries for U)e ensuing
two years, but that is not a probable
ouuome. Democratic leaders say it Is
Improbable and Impossible. Alex Sweek,
chairman of the State Central Committee.
ys that nominations for Congress un
doubtedly will be made. John B. Ryan,
secretary of the State Central Committee,
ays the same. George H. Thomas, chair
man of the Multnomah County Central
."ommittee. says the party will nominate
a full county ticket for the June election
uid after April 1. until which time can
lldntes may present their primary petl
:lons making themselves candidates for
iarty nomination, he will call the county
committee together to determine how to
ptvscnt a tickot to the primaries for
nomination.
All these authorities declare absurd the
Vur that the Democratic party will not
.nst 25 per cent of the vote for Con
gressman next June. Registration -has
Kithlng to do with a party's recognition
under the direct primary law. Therefore
the light registration of the Democrats
Iocs not portend that the party will lose

sentative ami that those two candidates
will receive 25 per cent of the total state

te is convinced that few seekers of Dem

and the county committee are leaving
the way entirely open for any candidate
to nter tho primaries. But after next
Wednesday, when the naming of candi
dates for nomination by petition will be
barred in the county. Mr. Thomas says
he will call the central committee to
gether to make ptans for tilling the
ticket. Whether the committee should
reeommmend candidates for nomination
Mr. Thomas does not say. but that
method is a quite likely one.
While Chairman Sweek. of the state
committee, does not expect the state
ticket to be completely tilled, he thinks
It quite likely that nominations will be
made for the most important places, es
pecially for Congress.

CUT IN INSURANCE RATES
East Side Especially Benefited by
New Schedule.
Largely as a result of the efforts of the
Board of Fire Insurance Agents, a local
organization formed several- weeks ago,
a considerable reduction in insurance
rates on residence property in all parts
of the city has been secured. The reduc
tion Is sharp on the East Side, where, in
xthe more remote suburbs rates in the past
have been all but prohibitive.
On the East Side, within the fire limits,
rates on dwellings have been reduced
from 50 cents to 40 cents per $100, and ex
posure charges also have been reduced.
Outside the fire limits on the East Side,
and with in the city limits the old rate
of 76 cents per $100 has been cut to 50
cents, and the former cnarge for two ex
posures has been reduced to one. The
reduction of 33 1-3 per cent outside the
fire limits on the East Side Is a heavy
one and will save property owners who
Insure a huge sum annually.
The reduction went into effect March
24. and Is not retroactive.
The board has Chester Deering as presi
dent. E. L. Pettis, vice-president; "W.
Honeyman. secretary, and W. J. Clemens,

SCRAMBLE FOR N. P. GRANT
Pendleton People Make Tender of
$2.50 an Acre for $100 Land.
PENDLETON, Or., March 27. (Spe
cial.) An effort to force the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company to sell its
land grant holdings in this county at
$2.50 per acre is now being made by
a score of Umatilla County people. It
is alleged by -those making'applicatlons
to purchase the land at this price that
the terms of the Northern Pacific grant
were the same as those of the South
ern Pacific, which is about to be com
pelled to relinquish it' holdings In
Western Oregon.
Copies of the applications to pur
chase, with affidavits that they had
been refused, were filed today with the
County Recorder. The land applied for
la all under the Government reclama
tion project at Hermiston, and the
market value of it at the present time
is a-bout $100 per acre.

terdny to William McMurray, general
passenger agent In this city, , giving
his interpretation of the recent deci
sion of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, which on the face seemed to
favor the action of tne Hill interests
in refusing to honor tickets over their
line from Portland to the Sound if sold
by the rival transcontinental line un
der the agreement previously in force.
Mr. Stubbs' telegram in part reads:
Message From J. Ot Stubbs.
'Their (the Interstate Commerce
Commissioners ) objection was simply
to tne manner in which these through
tares were announced In the tariffs Is
sued by the Union Pacific and connec
tions. These tariffs will be reissued,
and the handling or passengers In
both directions through the Portland
gateway will be resumed."
Nothing can be done by the local
office until more specific instructions
are received from the East. The im
pression prevails in railroad circles
that the wording of the dispatch from
Mr. Stubbs was purposely ambiguous
and that his intention is to move
slowly until the Hill people show their
hard.
Rehearing on Rate Issue.
It is also self-evident, according to
some of the officials, that a plan is
being formulated to bring the tourist
rate matter again before the Commis
sion, and in the meantime have an or
der issued by that "body to restore
former Interchange of tickets until
the case can be reviewed.
The Portland gateway was closed to
through tourist tickets calling for
trips over the Harriman lines with a
coupon covering the ride from this
city to Sound points, the Hill people
claiming the regular local rate, which,
of course, ended the sale of tickets
covering that additional mileage. Just
in what manner the tariff announce
ment was improperly made was not
explained in Mr. Stubbs' dispatch, but
at the railroad offices here it is ex
pected that a full statement of the
whole matter will be received In a few
days to throw light on the action al

CHAXGE FRO.XT OX IOW RATES
Commissioners Will Allow Cheap
Fares to Coast.
CHICAGO. March 27. (Special.) The
Interstate Commerce Commission sud
denly changed front today with respect
to excursion rates to the Pacific Coast
and Issued a ruling permitting the rail
roads to put in cheap rates on April 4
and 5.
The change is underetood to be the re
sult of vigorous action on the part of
prominent resident of Pacific Coast cities
who want to have many people come and
see the fleet when it arrives there. The
Commission's refusal origirfally to allow
the cheap rates to be made was due -to
the fact that the return limit of the
tickets was 60 days and they had long
ago decided not to permit reduced rates
with a limit greater than 30 days to go
into effect without 30 days' notice.
It is understood that when the citizens
of the Coast towns heard of this decision
they arose as one man.' In a few hours
Commissioner Lane was reminded several
hundred times that he was from the Pa
cific Coast and he was asked, "What's
the use of having a Pacinc Coast man
on the Commission if he can't let the
railroads do something for the Pacific
Coast when thev want to?".

The total number of colonists and

reason that the northern line has de
clined to continue the routing from East

necessary for those who go on from
Portland to the Sound to purchase tickets

indicate a loss of some 3000 passengers

Executive Board to Ascertain
How Many Hang Below
Legal 30 Feet.
MAYOR WOULD GO FARTHER
FaTors Investigation Arso of Quality
of Light, but Ioehn"t Insist When
Author of Resolution Objects.
Routine Business of Board.
Evidence of the fact that the relations
between Mayor iL&ne and the Poitland
Railway. Light & Power Company are,
to say the least, slightly- strained, was
offered yesterday at the regular fort
nightly meeting of the City Executive
Board, when Thomas G. Greene, one of
the Mayor's strongest supporters in the
administration, proposed a resolution
calling upon the street lighting committee
of the Board to appoint an inspector or
Inspectors to make an examination of all
street lamps and report to the Board the
number and location of all that are sus
pended at a height less than the ZO feet
prescribed In the c-:t; s contract with the
company.
Mr. Greene, In explaining his resolution,
said that he was informed that fully one
half the arc lamps are hung too low. In
order to save the cost of erecting new
poles, he asserted, the company was In
the habit of suspending the lamps from
wires strung between short light or tele
phone poles, in consequence of which some
of the lamps could almost be reached
with a walking-stick.
As a result, he informed the Board, the
city was not getting all the light it was
paying for. He would advise, he con
cluded, that the city cease paying for all
lights hung below the limit fixed by the
contract.
Mayor Questions Quality of Light.
Mayor Lane promptly took up the mat
ter where Mr. Greene left pff and sug
gested that the inspectors also be em
powered to investigate as to the quality
of the light. He declared, his belief that
the lamps were not up to t the contract
standard as to candle-power. Mr. Greene
objected to the amendment suggested,
saying that it would require inspectors of
too great technical training to investigate
this matter, although such investigation
was probably desirable.
City Engineer Taylor then took a hand
in the game and suggested that the com
mittee save the salary of inspectors by
assigning the task of inspection to his
department. The resolution was so
amended and referred to the street light
committee for action, Mr. Greene saying
that he was not certain when he drafted
the resolution that the' engineer's office
would have time to attend to the matter.
Ping-Pong With Fire Hydrants.
The Board spent considerable time in
discussing more or less Ironically a com
munication from the water board, re
ferring to the executive board without
recommendation the petitions of the resi
dents of Montavilla. Mount Tabor and
"W'oodlawn for additional lire 'hydrants,
about 150 hydrants, that would cost the
city $56 each, being asked. The members
of the Executive Board were Inclined to
resent the action of the water board and !
finally voted to send the petitions back
with a polite note asking what precedent
or authority the water department had
for attempting to shoulder its troubles
off on the Executive Board.
It was explained by members qf the
Board that the water board protests that
it Is financially unable to put in water
fire hydrants, when additional mains and
service pipes are so urgently needed, and
maintains that the general 'fund, and not
the water fund should bear the cost of
putting in new fire hyarants. The Execu
tive Board asserts that the matter Is out
side Its jurisdiction.
Street Improvement Contracts Let.
Jl large amount of routine business was
transacted, most of It pertaining to street
Improvement work. Among the new con
tracts let were the following for hard
surface pavement: Laurel street, to the
Warren Construction Company, for !910;
Tenth street, to the Barber Asphalt Com
pany, for $14,187; Oak street, to same bid
