be brought down here 'from their res

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

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

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

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

and full reports will be at hand early next

RESERVE BULL RUN RIGHTS
City Will Ask. Congress for Exclu

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

of funds, . the members took no action,
except to Instruct Mr. Hughes to present

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

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

necessity select him from the Hat of offi

Action of tho Mayor

fTt y Treasurer Werlein is w ttiulering
Just what waa meant when Mayor Iane
called him Into the executive office and
I
; gave him a grilling Monday. 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. He said he had at

Into a false security, and. yielding to fhs
demands of selfish Interests, permit t he
bresklng down of Constitutional provis

have attained this wonderful riorre of
material prosperity, and have yet main
tained the Individual liberty of the rttlsen.
"Our Oove rn men I Is divided into three
separate snd distinct co-ordinate branches
the legislative, the executive and ths
judicial. 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.
"I believe that the limitations upon
state and Federal government a. the nice
halanHng of the powers of each, and of
the different departments in each, which
have been so efflcarlnus in the past, will
be maintained In their full vigor In the
future."
