the conference held In this city 'Tries
Bay night between the Lane County man
and Ave of the ten Statement members
of the legislative delegation from this
county. However, so the- report goes,
no binding agreement wan entered Into
on the terms of the proposal submitted
by Bean.
It was further reported at the meet
Ing that the Statement missionaries who
have been visiting the Legislators-elect
of the same faith throughout the state
had succeeded in signing up only 12 of
me pieogea members who would agree
to stand together and support for
Speaker only a Statement man. In con
nection with this not encouraging report
came the further information that many
of the Statement members would not
agree to support Campbell, of Clackamas,
for Speaker under any consideration
This Is sakJ practically to eliminate
Campbell as a serious factor In the con
test for Speaker, so far as the Statemen
forces are concerned. At the same time,
however, those acquainted with the
Clackamas County man, his political
training and experience in legislative
matters, hold to the opinion that he will
yet figure in the organization of the
House.
Strength of Various Candidates.
The strength of the different candl
dates, reported at the Tuesday night con
ference. Is Bald to be as follows: Bean
11: Patton. of Marlon. 12; McArthur. 10.
This leaves 27 members unannounced on
the Speakership so far as could be as
certained by the Statement people. Of
the three candidates whose strength has
been estimated. Bean is more or less In
dependent, sot being aligned dlrertly
either with the Statement or the anti
Statement people. In the election he did
not take the Statement pledge and In
the Interest of his candidacy he Is ne
gotiating with Republicans generally, ir-
. respective of their position -with regard
to me statement. Fatton Is a Statement
man and McArthur Is the lending anti-
Statement candidate. In the report made

is credited witb. any (allowing. - It is
denied vlcoronsly by the Statement men
that MeCue at any time could expect any
support from them and his position on

sion of the Legislature was such as to
place him forever In an unfavorable pflsi
tlon when It came to asking for any
assistance rrom the members of the dele
gation from this county, regardless of
nis position on the Statement issue.

and McCue. of Clatsop, in order to gain
an advantage by throwing their strength
at the critical time to the support of
some candidate for Speaker and receive
In return desirable committee assign
ments. Mr. Clemens very plainly de
clared that he did not even known Dim-
Ick. of Clackamas, while as for McC"ue. he
tald. he could not entertain the Idea of
forming any alliance with the Clatsop
man for the very reasons that operate
against McCue's chances for the Speaker
ship and which already have been re
ferred to.
, Clemens States Position.
"There is no secret about my position
en the subject of organizing the House.
said Mr. Clemens yesterday. "In the
first place. I stand for determining the
question or organization through a Re
publican caucus. Secondly. I want the
best possibly qualified man to be elected
Soeaker. "While I nm not niedp-ed tn nnv
candidate 1 do not propose to support
lor speaker any man who would use his
Influence as presiding officer to defeat,
if possible, the election of the people's
choice for Senator. Neither will I sup
port any candidate for that office who In
appointing his committees will do any
thing that will tend to divide the Repub
lican party into two distinct factions.
The many measures of important legis
lation that must be considered are en
tirely paramount to the question of
whether or not a member of the House
'is a Statement or an anti-Statement man
and this question should not be allowed
to enter into consideration when the
committees are formed."
While the members of the House are
.wrangling over the question of organiz
ing, the Republican members of the Sen
ate are not Idle. An agreement Is being
circulated among the Republican Senators-elect
' calling for a caucus for the
purpose of effecting an organization.
When the requisite number of Senators
have signed this agreement, and only a
few more names are needed, the iist will
be published. Beach and Bowerman, the
two anti-Statement candidates for the
Presidency, are working for a caucus
and it is understood are ajrreed to take
their chances and let the best man win.

COUNCIL WINS OVER BOARD

ISED FOR OTHER ITEMS.
Mayor's Effort to Free $42,000 for
General re Fails Itterly at
Council Meeting.
Efforts of the members of the- City
Water Board, of which Mayor Lane is
chairman, to secure action by the Coun
cil. releasing $42,000 of the Board's funds
which was appropriated by the Council
for the purchase of fire hydrants, failed
yesterday afternoon. The Council re
fused to change its former action, and
the money cannot be used for any other
purpose. For the entire year, the Board
refused to spend the. money as ordered
by the Council, as Mayor Lane and the
members of the Board thought that the
money should be used to extend the
mains to certain sections where water
service Is sorely needed.
When the demand for hydrants became
so strong that it could no longer be held
up. either by the Water Board or the
Council. Councilman Rushlight Introduced
an ordinance, appropriating $42,000 out
of the general fund for the purchase of
some hydrants, and the ordinance passed.
The hydrants have already been ordered
by the Water Board. It was hopefl by
Mayor Lane and the members of the
Board that the Council, having thus
purchased hydrants from the general
fund, would release the $42,000 previ
ously appropriated for that use by the
Board, and thus permit the expenditure
of that sum for various' purposes, to be
decided upon by the Board.
When Councilman Kellaher introduced
the ordinance to amend the present one.
Councilman Rushlight immediately ob
jected to it, and made a determined stand
against its passage. He won his point,
and the $4.000 is still tied up. and can
not be used, except for the purchase of
hydrants.
It is my contention that, as long as
the Council appropriated $42,000, that the
Water Board should have expended it in
accordance with the Council's instruc
tions." said Councilman Rushlight, in an
Interview after the Council session.
What action the Water Board will take'
remains to be seen, but it seems that
Mavor Lane and the members of the
Board will never purchase any fire hy
drants with It. The Mayor maintains
that the water funds should not be used
for that purpose, but the Council has the
authority to say for what purpose all
city funds shall be expended.
CITY TO PAY FOR FIREMEN
Council Passes Ordinance Requiring

Placing of Men In Theaters.
Firemen are to be stationed in all of
the theaters of Portland, but Instead of
being paid by the theatrical managers of
the various 'houses, are to be paid out
of the city Are fund. This was the de
cision of the City Council yesterday aft
ernoon. Councilman Kellaher, who intro
duced the ordinance, explained that it has
been ascertained by him that the firemen
in theaters in other places are paid by
the city, end he is willing to accept an
amendment to the measure, paying them
out of the city funds here.
Councilman Baker, who is a theatrical
manager, said that he regards the new or
dinance as a good law, but he told the
Mayor and the members of the Council
that he would not consent to the passage
of the ordinance as originally Introduced,
as he felt that It would 'be an Injustice
to theatrical managers to compel them
to pay for firemen in the various houses.
Inasmuch as It is not the managers, but
the Council that is ordering the firemen
Into the new service.
Under the provisions of the new ordi
nance, which will become a law when

Idleman and Deputy County Clerk Buch
tel were accordingly sent to look for it,
leaving the Judgo alone with the witness
or witnesses. Klndltur that the affidavit
had not been filed, and the trial of the
case having already begun, Judge Mor
row took it under advisement. The print
er's affidavit was filed during the after
noon. Because of an attack of the grip, from
which he has been suffering for several
days, Judge Gantenbein was compelled to
leave the Courthouse yesterday noon. He
took with him a number of papers in
cases which he has under advisement,
believing that without the annoyance of
interruptions he could give them more
careful thought.
The presiding Judge 6ald last night that
he did not know of the trial, that Friday
is the regular divorce day, and that he
has given none of the other Judges
authority to try cases at any other time.
Benjamin F. Munk, who was sued, did
not put in an appearance to contest his
wife's suit. She accused him of having
deserted her and their two children, Lora,
7 years old, and 11a, 4. She also said
that since March, 1906, he has contributed
only $10 for their support. They, were
married at Spickard, Mo., June 18, 1899.
Katharine Jones has filed a divorce suit

The
Cream of
Irvington
IS ALREADY THE MOST DESIRABLE
RESIDENCE PART OF PORTLAND FOR
THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
PROXIMITY. Only a mile and a half from the retail,
center of the city. In the midst of the best and most rapidly
growing home section. Quick transportation and the finest auto
mobile streets to and from "downtown.
IMPROVEMENTS. Over $250,000 spent in
making the property the finest improved district in the North
west. Asphalt pavements, cement walks and curbs, sewer, gas
and water mains and everything completed, ready for building.
ENVIRONMENT. Being a part of Irvington, its
social surroundings cannot be questioned. Being at an elevation
of 190 feet, it overlooks the adjoining additions and commands a
scenic landscape that people travel thousands of miles to see.
PRICES. Considering its improvements, its location and
its proximity to the activities of the city, it would be expected
that lots in this addition would sell rapidly for as much as $2000.
As a matter of fact the prices are $1000 and up.

TRANSPORTATION. On two carlines,
Woodlawn and Alberta. Cars every 3 and 5 minutes all day long.
No transfers or roundabout right-of-way. A 10-minute ride from

RESTRICTIONS. On homes, $2500. Nothing but
homes may be built Only one to a 50-foot lot. Must stand 25
feet back of property line. These restrictions are not burden
some to the class of people who will build in PROSPECT PARK.
POSSIBILITIES. Within two years it is conserva
tively estimated that the property will double. At present
prices it surely will. The tremendous demand for exclusive dis
tricts makes PROSPECT PARK unusually desirable.
TERIVIS. It has been decided to sell property in PROS
PECT PARK upon terms that will be very easily met by those
people who are able to build $2500 homes. In this manner it is
hoped to build the district up very rapidly.
