C. V. Mount, general agent of the u. It. ft N.. and Secretary Mason, of the Commercial Club of that city, taking tho matter up with tho Festi val people yesterday afternoon. Mr. Mount will have charge also of the baud of No? Perces Indiana who will be brought down here 'from their res ervation for a week's stay at Festival t line. From a physical standpoint, the Nez Perces arc said to be the superiors of any of the many tribes of Indians now extant, arid It is further said that In feats of horsemanship, in dare-devil riding; in splendor of trappings and In strict adherence to the honored tribal traditions, they excel every other Indian tribo In America. Mr. Mount declared unqualifiedly that no attrac tion that the Festival could secure would be more Vorth seeing than this band of Indians in war paint and In act ton. The redskins will come here prepared to establish their own camp while they remain here, and so far nji arrangements have now been made, they are to appear In two of the week's parades, .the "Spirit of the Golden West." aa representing the aborigines of the country, and in the vehicle- and equestrian parade. The former Is to take plave at night, and the latter In tile forenoon of Thursday of Festi val week. Fnless present plans miscarry, the Fast Side Business Men's league will be able to supply a children's ywrado on Tuesday, "Children' Pay." which will be as spec tacular and well-drilled as the one which made such a tremendous hit In last year's carnival. According to the plans under taken at a meeting neld this week, there will be no less than 2i0 children in this pageant, and they will be under the tu telage of Professor Rlngler, a professional ring-master. Next Monday night a representative delegation of Sixth street business men will meet at the Commercial Club par lors and devise plans for converting that street Into a court of honor, where some of the most imposing ceremonies and fea tures of the week will be held. At least a doxen merchants and business men have signified their willingness of "dressing up" the street for as many blocks as may 1m necessary to convert it into a decorative and illuminative fairyland for the occasion. It is expected that several Willamette Valley points will act favorably on the request that they enter floats in the All Oregon parade. A canvass of the most important towns and cities will be com pleted by the Festival people this weea, and full reports will be at hand early next week. RESERVE BULL RUN RIGHTS City Will Ask. Congress for Exclu sive Jurisdiction. At a meeting of the Water Board yes terday morning it was voted to Instruct City Attorney Kavanaugh to draw up a hill, to be presented in Congress by Sen ator Fulton, making the City of Portland the exclusive owner of rights in the Bull Hun River. It is believed that this Is the beat means of protecting all rights In the stream. This plan has long been under consideration. The bill will be aa drastic as the laws will permit, with the object of settling permanently the matter of all rights on the stream. Kllaa O. ilughea and others appeared be fore the board seeking the extension of mains to Irvlngton, but because of a lack of funds, . the members took no action, except to Instruct Mr. Hughes to present the petition In writing. - A pumping station was authorixed for rortland MeiM, and hMa will b culled for.

I determined not to mention the faet that during the 1rffislitlve session of UH7 Mr. AHehlsin was an active lobbyist at Snlem for the association of n few of the Portland Jobbers, who Bre so active In sup porting him at this time. Hut now Mr. A It eh Iron, through I he me dium of a very few of thef Portland Job bers, parading as a sMf-cniisttlule'd commit tee of the Chamber of Commerce. Is attack ing the honesty, ahillly and Integrity of arh of the other six candidates running against him. and It ! time for me to give publicity to the facts, as I will not submit to this sort of attack In silence. Mr. Altchlsnn has been In the state leas than three years, has had no railroad ex perience, and before he ever came to Ore gon I whb disbursing hundreds of thousands of dollars In advertising the state and Its resources, and attempting to assist In Its material development. And subsequently, and while I was president of the Oregon Water Power System, we expanded upwards of trv.ono.noo n the construction and develop ment of Its property in Multnomah and Cla kama count lea. and made tt a point to upend every dollar possible among the merchants In this, city. Thia pto-called Jobbers Association. In tlielr letter of March 'J. 1IMR. to the Freight Handlers' I'nii.n, ntatea that Mr. Altchlson framed the present commission bill. It has been our understanding that he participated In thia work and' that he was paid for doing It. and In lobbying for fta enactment he was the representative of that association. "Put If such is the faet. wherein does that nuallfy hlm to be any more .lust In listening to their grievances than a candidate who has never hepn their paid representative? Their letter Implies that Mr. Altchlson was In favor of an elective Commission, while the fact Is that he vigorously opposed the election of Commissioners by the peo ple. Their leiter states that four of Mr. Altchlson's opponents are representing the transportation companies, and includes me In the list. The fart Is that the transporta tion companies have no strings on me snd they know me well enough not to try to get any. and when my petition was peasant ed to the superintendent of one of the compa nies he declined to sign It, because he was supporting Mr. Altchlson. What have these Portland Jobbers done for the City of Portland, or for the entire state, except to work to secure an arti ficial system of rates to prevent any one without their circle from doing business anywhere in the state? When the cltlxens attempted to raise funds to put a line of steamers on to Alaska points these same Portland Jobbers showed their patriot 1?m and civic pride by refusing to respond at all. on the ground that they had all the business they could possibly handle. I have lived In Portland the better part If my life and am devoted to the state and proud of lis metropolis, and whether elected or not wilt do what I ran to further the interest of Portland and the entire state, but I will not concede that the progress made to date Is to be entirely credited to a small bunch of Portland Jobbers, repre sented by Mr. Altchlson. nor wilt I admit that In order to secure an honest and capa ble Railroad Commissioner we must of necessity select him from the Hat of offi cers of the defunct Title Guarantee A Trust Company and Ha side-donr corporations W.

The two officials fall to agree upon thV conversa tion that passed between them at the time, but the Mayor la to be heard from later, as he has declined to make any statement until he has an opportunity to read what Mr. Werlein haa to say on the subject. i'allcd Into Knur's Office. "Mayor lnno called me Into his offtca and 'grilled" me." said Mr. Werlein yes terday. "He snid to me: 'Your Republican friends are mnklng a decided fight against mo In the Council, and I warn you that you must conduct your office In absolute accordance with the law, or I will hold you responsible. Now. what the Mayor meant by Unit I do not know. I have al ways tried to en-npernto with him and with other city officials; have tried to adminis ter this office for the good of the city, and I have been conscientious about what 1 have done." It became evident during an adjourned meeting of tho City Council, held Thurs day afternoon, that Treasurer Werlein and Mayor Iane were aomewhat out of harmony. Mr. Werlein came before tho Council with a verbal proposal to deposit lioo.ooo In a local hunk, and wished the indorsement of the Mayor and Council. Inasmuch as to grant the authority sought would have necessitated a techni cal violation of the charter, it was thought Inadvisable by the majority. The charter provides that any bank wishing to handle city funds must apply In writlnK on or before tho first Monday In April. In this instance there were funds on hand for which no bank bad called In the required time, but Mr. Wer lein, wishing- to keep in circulation 1he large sums at his office, arranged to de posit In a local bank the. $100,000 at inter est of 2 per cent. However, this would have violated the technical trma of the law, and was voted down. This forced Mr. Werlein to keep in his personal charge all money roming In from now un til next April, which at tfmea will run as high as $rn.nw. City Iasch $10,000 Irttorcst. Mr. - Werlein offered first-class collateral for the proposed deposit, end explained that, should the city see fit to grant hirri authority to make the deposit then sought and other deposits that might become necessary, about lo.O00 in Interest would accrue to the municipality during the yea?. "I will state." paid Mr. Werlein, "tlfat I would not think of doing this unless you gentlemen of the Council and tho Mayor give your approval." "I think this a matter purely for the Council to decide.' said Mayor lane from the chair, thus Riving evidence of the fact that he did not care to enter into any such. plan. "I will state that I got out of one scrape, of a technical nature, and I will not give Your Honor another apportunity to put me in the hole," replied the Treaa u rf . The technical mntter fllluded to as It is now explained was the placing of deposits In certain batiks which closed during- the holidays attending the financial panic of several months ago. It Is snid that Mayor Lane held at the time that Mr. Werlein should have held the funds In personal charge, and that If he, had done that, the city would have been in com mand of a very large amount of ready cash to handle its business. On this sub ject Mayor Iann sent a red-hot communl cafon to the Council at the time, and there was considerable feeling; on the sub ject. In an interview yesterday Mr. Werlein declared that his only object during: his term of office has been to conduct the business of his department for the best interests of the city.

In spite of the unexpected ex pansion of the contintry, be Constitution has been found atcfftolently flexible to meet every emergency wttleh has arisen, l't lis remember this, for the danger of today Is that the Am erics n people may he luMd Into a false security, and. yielding to fhs demands of selfish Interests, permit t he bresklng down of Constitutional provis ions, under which the American people have attained this wonderful riorre of material prosperity, and have yet main tained the Individual liberty of the rttlsen.

Ianger will surety come to ..hut Itepubltc when any of these de partments of Government attempt In the slightest degree to usurp the functions of the other. "Very recent Iv there has come from the highest judicial tribunal tn the land a decision of vital Interest and concern to the American people, because It has established a principle, as stated by one member of the court, which would work a radical change in our governmental system, and would Inaugurate a new era In the American judicta I ays tem and In the relations of the Nations! -and slats Governments. It would enable the sub ordinate Federal Courts to supervise and control the official action of the states as though they were dependencies or provinces. It would place the states nf the t nlon in a condition of Inferiority never dreamed of when the Constitution was adopted or when the Eleventh Amendment was made a, part of the supreme law of the land. If this Is the result of this decision. It Is. to my mind, one of the unhappy Incidents In the his tory of our Republic, because the very theory of our Government la based upon the right of the states to control abso lutely their own domestic affairs.
