While no maMt-r has been named f"r the Al liance. It Is understood ainon steam ship men and shippers that Captain K. W. Mason will succeed Captain Olson on the popular Coos Kay packet. The resignation of Captain Olson as master of the Alliance caused consid erable comment on the water-front yesterday. It Is a coincidence that tire resiKnation of Captain Olson oc curred on the anniversary of the pe culiar plight of the Alliance rher that ship lost her propeller and rudder while crossing" the Coos Bay bar. Cai that occasion Captain Mason was m ras ter of the steamship Costa Kica ind was the first craft from the Columbia Kiver to - speak the disabled Alliance and offer assistance. Captain Olson has been in command uf the Alliance for the past two years and durinar that nie has made a won derful record as a fearless master and a competent navlscator. Captain Ma son, who will probably take command of the Alliance, is one of the best known passenger men on the Coast, lie made an enviable reputation as captain of the Costa Kica, wtiivh oper ated between Portland and San Fran cisco for the San Kranclsro & Port land Steamship Company. that the shoals on the bar rl be washed out, is proving eminently suc cessful.

A., chaplain of the Missions to Seamen, desires to thank those business firms of the city which so generously contributed towards the annual Tnanksglvlng sup per at the Institute. That the repast was an unqualified success was proved bv the able and sailor-like way with which the "foc'sie and half-deck" wielded the fork and knife. The ta bles were tastefully decorated with roses and chrysanthemums under the superintendence of the ladies commit tee. During the evening a free and easy smoking concert was held in the hall, and as each sailor left for his ship he was presented with a button hole and "ballast' in the shape of a rigar. Much credit is due to Mr. St. Martin, who bore the "heat" and bur den of the day. and to those ladies and gentlemen who so kindly offered their services. Kennedy to Be Launched Today. The steamer H.

The steamer Cascade arrived from Grays Har- lor today after a very stormy trip, dur ing which she lost one blade of her pro peller. This accident detained the vessel for about 24 hours. The scnooner Dauntless, also arriving today, was 12 hours late. having passed tnrough the same gale. She lost her mainsail and was badly buffeted by the waves. From the tenor of a petition to the Council, signed by a large number of the principal property-owners of the Northwest section of the city, It ap pears that the Annand resolution of fered November 16, "by request," Is meeting with opposition. The Annand resolution provides that streets in the area known as the warehouse district shall be paved with vitrified brick. The streets to be so treated by this resolution ' are on Thurman street from Nineteenth to Front; thence on Front to Twelfth; thence to Fifteenth; to Northrup; from Northrup fo Nine teenth, and from Nineteenth to Thur man. Some blocks in this district are improved, and in fairly good condition, and these are excepted. Councilman Kellaher proposed a substitute to the Annand resolution, making the material to e used Bel gian block instead of vitrified brick. Both resolutions were referred to the street committee. From data secured from competent authority, it is agreed that the origi nal cost of the two materials is about equal, but an Important difference is pointed out In that if vitrified brick is employed the material, involving an outlay of something like $205,000, must be purchased in Seattle, whereas if blocks are used, that material can be bought right near Portland. There are several quarries nearby that furnish paving blocks of excellent quality, among them being voton, 20 miles from the Jefferson-street depot, on the Oswego branch; Coffin Rock, on Co lumbia River; St. Helens Quarry Com pany; .Banks & Buffton, St. Helens; Gordon Falls, on Columbia; Cascade Contract Co., Stella. Brick Far From Satisfactory. As to the relative merits of the two materials for paving in a district where heavy teaming is done, Portland's ex perience wlth brick is far from satis factory, as aeveral streets "so paved did not stand the wear and tear, and such as arc now paved with that material constantly require attention and re pair, according to those who keep posted on street work. The petition for stone paving is signed by the following firms and in dividuals whose business houses are located in the district referred to who have property there, or whose teams traverse that part of the city fre quently: W. G. McPherson Co., Church- ley Bros.. D. C. O'Reilly. Portland Cord age Co., Portland Iron works, Zan Bros., Clarke-Woodward Drug Co., Beno & Ballis, S. & L Freedman, Louis Kuehn. Bessie M. Teal. Marshall-Wells Hardware "Co., Honeyman Hardware Co., J. W. Sweeney, King estate. Fati ng estate, H. W. Corbett estate and Henry Weinhardt estate. The whole matter of which material shall be used In this costly improve ment Is to bo brought before the street committee, and It Is expected the com mittee will be furnished with infor mation regarding the experience of this city with brick paving and also the experience of other cities of the country. A. M. Marshall, member of the firm of Marshall-Wells Hardware Company, whose home city is Duluth. Minn., said a day or two ago in dis cussing street work that In Duluth it had been fcund that brick paving for streets where heavy teaming was done was invariably a failure. while he was emphatic in saying the warehouse district needs the Improvement badly, he urged that stone blocks be used. His firm is one of the signers of th petition for Belgian blocks. Seattle Turns Down Portland Bids. Steamship Arabia to Clear Today. The German steamship Arabia, of the Portland & Asiatic Steamship Company. will clear for Hongkong and Japanese ports this morning and will leave down about noon. The Arabia has on board a large quantity of flour and general freight and will make the third vessel of that line to clear for Oriental ports during the month. OPEN" MEF.TIXG TOMORROW Willamette Harbor to Kntertain Officer Nntronal Association. Captain .1. H. Pruett. president of the National Harbor American Association of Masters. Mates and Pilots. Is in Portland, a guest of Willamette Har bor N'. '2:1. Captain Pruett arrived frofu Seattle on the morning train and was met by Captain William H. Pope, who represented the local harbor and the pilots' association. Arrangements have been completed for an open meet ing tomorrow afternoon at the Odd fellows Temple, at 2:30 o'clock. All masters, mates and pilots, whether members of the association or not, are cordially invited to be present. Captain Pruett is on a tour of the Vnlted States, and is visiting the vari ous harbors of the country. His prin cipal aim is to unite the many steam ship officers in a movement to recon struct the maritime laws of the United States, which will be taken up at the next session of Congress. Captain Pruett will visit Astoria today and will return to Portland tomorrow morning. He will leave here Wednesday for San Francisco, where members of Harbor No. 15 are making big preparations for his reception. Marine Notes. The steamship Alliance will sail tonight for Coos Bay ports. The schooner Samar Is loading at the Standard Box Factory. The British ship Brahtock. from Ham burg, arrived up yesterday afternoon. Apart from the merits of the two kinds of paving suggested for the street work, another point has been raised that Seattle never misses a chance to throw municipal work to its ocal contractors, regardless of bids from this and other Coast cities. Re cently bias were called for the build ing of a steamboat on the Sound, to be used in connection with the coming exposition. When the bids were opened it was found that a Portland concern was the lowest bidder. This firm did no receive the contract, for through technicality the award was given a Sound firm, w'.iose bid was consldera ahlv in excess of the Portland bid. Such unfairness is most liable to meet with reprisal If some of the people n Interest can bring It about. The train reason, however, why the petitioners Intend to insist on the stone blocks is because they claim superiority for that class of paving, especially for the terminal district streets. A strong point Is to be made on keeping the money at home, where the merit of material Is superior to that of outside manufacture, as would will be remembered, especially in this Congressional district, and it no doubt will be done again. This is very easy in the urlmarv election, where it is only to choose between men t of the same party principle. To cross party lines where political principles are at stake, there must be the best of reasons on economic ground or a failure of either party in power to enact such laws as were promised either direct or by Inference. My opinion, based on the result of the election and also expressions made by many before that time, is that most of the Republican union men consid ered that the economic condition did not warrant their leaving1 their own party, undoubtedly believing that Taft's election was the best for all, labor as well as caDital. We ask for fair play and the enactment of necessary laws to place the weak on an even footing with the strong, as, for instance : iany of the working men. though able to save a few dollars, are not financiers and, Therefore, are easily taken in by de signing bankers. We expect the Gov ernment to give them a postal savings bank where their frugal savings will be secure. And another example: A corporation needs men to work, but fails to furnish safe tools; the laboring men must work. In such cases we ex pect laws enacted that will compel the employer to furnish safe tools and fair conditions under which to work. Mr. Taft has promised to do what is right. and we have reasons to believe that he will keep his word. The injunction plank of either party can be interpreted to suit any indi vidual neixner is specific: but we ex pect a square deal. Few of the regular Republicans in the labor unions followed Mr. Gompers, whom they all honor and whose good intention none question; but they con sulted their own conscience in this Presidential matter. At the beginning of the campaign many Republicans looked at It as did Mr. Gompers. and he was also condi tionally instructed by the 'American Federation of Labor to take the stand he did; but after studying the ques tion, they felt it would be wrong to follow a trail that they believed would lead to less prosperous , times and. therefore, acted on their individual opinions. Our estimate of Mr. Gom pers Is that he does not desire any person to do violence to his own con science. In the result, organized labor has lost nothing, and the re-election of Mr. Gompers proves that he is not discred ited by the American Federation. The Federation has resolved to stay In politics and build up a strong or ganization. This will do no harm, and may do much good. The laboring man stands for honesty, justice .and fair play, and If the leaders get off on the wrong foot, those that believe such to be the case refuse to follow. On the other hand, if the trust or confidence placed in the powers that are should be met with neglect, injustice or Insolence, then there is a strong organization as a nucleus for opposition. We wish for a strong navy; still. If friendly rela tions and Just dealings of the foreign powers continue, there Is no use for it only to be ready. One of the strongest reasons why we who believe In Republican principles should not switch one of the best arguments used In the campaign for our party in regard to the labor vote was the showing that the employers' liability act, the child labor laws, the factory inspecLfon laws, etc., were backed by Republican statesmen and enacted principally In Republican states. Much Is expected of the coming ad ministration, and the question Is asked, "Will It keep its promises?" We be lieve It will, and staked our political judgment on the same. The big Ohioa a will make good. Respectfully, A UNION MAN. y STOP PAVING Streetcar Company Objects to Belgian Blocks.

Before a meeting of the street com mittee recently representatives of the railroad companies appeared to oppose any sort of improvement at once on one or two streets In the locality of the terminal grounds, contending that considerable filling would be necessary, and hard paving on this new ground would not hold for any considerable time. Leo Furlong Was Leader of Gamg THat Beat Japanese Year Ago. Leo Furlong, the 18-year-old lad who was arrested for binding, gagging and robbing E. H. Hanson, an employe df the Barber Asphalt Company, Is the A Ibina yduth who acted as the rlngleadler of a gang which gave a Japanese a merci less beating last year. It was on the Fourth of July. The gang, wh zh in eluded several boys, had procured sev eral bottles of liquor, and set out up the O. R. & N. track. On the way they met P. Kashlwage, and one of the gang asked him for some tobacco, tht Japan ese handing over his plug. When the Jap insisted upon return of the tobacco he was given a severe drubbing, and left lying beside the track. Several of the youths, including Fur long, were arrested, and haled before Judge Frazer, of the Juvenile Ciourt. Fur long was remanded to the Justice Court for trial, but this order was later set aside, and the youth, then 17 years old. was turned 'over to the Circuit Court on a charge of contributing to the delin quency of 14-year-old Malcotlm Crocker by giving him liquor. Furlong pleaded guilty, and was sentenced tx serve one year in the Penitentiary, .fudge Frazer placed him on parole to Probation Offi cer Hadley. The sentence was pro nounced July 25. 1907. .

The Executive Board yester day afternoon, upon the, suggestion of Mayor Lane, referred the matter to the street committee for consideration, and in the meantime the officials of the corporation will seek to secure action by the City Council changing the specifications so that the material to be laid between the car tracks will be other than Belgian blocks. A letter from President Josselyn was read, and Vice-President Fuller ap peared . in person to enter protest against the awarding of the contract to the Pacific Bridge Company, the lowest bidder. Had these remonstrances not been rflled, the Board would have let the contract without doubt, as It had been so recommended by the street committee. As there seemed to be merit in the statements of the com pany's officials, however. It was thought best to refer It back to the committee, which will give the Council opportunity to consider the matter. It is the contention of the company officials that it is an unnecessary finan cial buirden imposed upon them to be forced by the city to lay Belgian blocks between its tracks In a district so remote from the downtown section. It Is the highest-priced material called, for, and for some months the company has been protesting against being" made to lay the blocks between the tracks on all hard-surfaced im provements. Some time ago President Josselyn officially notified all city officers, from Mayor Lane down, that the company will decline to lay Belgian blocks in all instances, unless it deemed such act Son as being a benefit to the corn pansy; that Belgian blocks are not caljled for in the franchises held by the cocipany, and that the city cannot compel the company to lay any better material on any street than is laid by thie city, and that the company is per fectly willing to follow out the terms of; its franchises. , City Attorney Kavanaugh was called irpon to render an opinion on the ques tion, and did so, contending that the c ity has power to force the company to lay any kind of material thought to be necessary; but that this power should be used judiciously, and not to work any hardship upon the company. In all specifications for hard-urface improvements, therefore, tiie Council has incorporated Belgian blocks to be laid between the company's rails. Mayor Lane has taken the stand that it is an unnecessary hardship on the company to be compelled to put in Bel gian blocks in remote districts, and he candidly expressed himself thus yes terday afternoon when the matter was under discussion. If the Council should decide to alter the specifications, the entire proceed ings will have to be renewed; adver tising for bids will be necessary," and the entire process of bringing the pro posed improvement up to the Execu tive Board wPl be included. OFFICERS ALL RE-ELECTED Oregon State Equal Suffrage Asso ciation Holds Annual Meeting. At the meeting yesterday of the Ore gon State Equal Suffrage Association all of the officers were re-elected for the ensuing term. The session was a short one, the time being largely devoted to the reading of the ballots. Mrs. A. Bon ham, financial secretary, rendered a re port, in which it was shown that the fiances of the association were in ex cellent condition, with all debts paid and a balance in the treasury. The report also showed that the membership has been more than doubled in the past year. A large proportion of this num ber represents taxpaylng women, and this fact Is taken by the organization as an evidence of the support being given it in Its campaign .for suffrage for woman taxpayers.

The election is over and, as much has been said and printed re garding the vote of the laboring men. and especially of organized labor, I trust you will open your columns to one who is. has been, and always will remain a labor union man. and one who believed In and voted for Mr. Taft at the last election. I have been told that "we were shot all to pieces" because we failed to elect Mr. Bryan. I voice others as well as myself when I say that we feel the contrary is the case. The unions hold the larger per cent of intelligent, thinking laboring men. Tt Is part of their work as union peo ple to study economics, and hence no one can lead them if he has not the best logical reason and solid facts back of him. When dealing with National matters In politics, each man's mind is left free and untrammeled, allowing free sway. To line up the labor vote, not only organized but unorganized, against any one who opposes Just measures for the benefit of the toilers haa been done, as Colds Colds Ask your doctor if Aycr's Cherry Pectoral is not just the right medicine for such cases.
