CLERKS READY FOR RUSH Office "Will Be Open rtom 8 A. M. Vntll Midnight in Order to Accommodate All Who Desire Discount. Unless you pay your taxes today you will forfeit all right t? the rebate of 3 per cent allowed by law. After mid night high taxes will be higher, and the price will continue climbing. For after the' first Monday in April a pen alty of 10 per cent will be attached. Arrangements have been made for an unprecedented rush of belated taxpay ers today. Chief Deputy Tax Collector Martin will have his office open sharp at 8 o'clock, and will keep the doors ajar until midnight. Taxpayers will be given the benefit of every minute of this last day of grace. Fully $1,000,000 will be paid in today. This forecast is based on the volume of statements rendered to taxpayers who requested their bills in time to pay up within the rebate season. At the end of today the total collections on the 1908 roll will be something better than $3,000,000. The total tax roll for 1908 is $4,581,497.17. Another record week was totaled up yesterday, when Mr. Martin and his as sistants spent their day oft catching up with the tremendous rush and prepar ing for today"s business.

The bulk of the collections have been by mall this year, which sohws that taxpayers are rapidly becoming educated to avoid the delay of waiting in long lines in order to pay up by the old plan. MAX WITH IWATIOX OK FRIENDS HKHB MARCH 31 TO I.KL TIRB AT ARMORY. Rear-Admlral Robley D. Evans. "Fighting Bob" Kvans. the grizzled sea-fighter who will ap pear at the Armory, March 31, to lecture on the voyage of the Atlantic fleet from Hampton Roads to San Francisco, is meet ing with big-crowds on his pres ent lecturing trip. Everywhere he goes he is given enthusiastic receptions. His splendid record in the Navy has won him a nation of warm friends. Admiral Kvans is enjoying bet ter health than has been his for years. His long rest has been beneficial and he is feeling stronger. He stands the hard ships of travel remarkably well, and his dogged spirit of deter mination has not lowered its flag to the advancing years. Admiral Evans" lecture here will be under the auspices of the Portland Commercial Club. MAY INVDK E RECALL Sunnyside Club Would 'Use It on Holdover Councilmen. WILL LOOK UP RECORDS ir Elans Are Carried Out, Special Election Will Be Xecessary. Only One Candidate Is Out for City Office. An opportunity will be given the voters of Portland to elect a complete set of Councilmen in the municipal election next June if the plans of the Sunnyside Push Club do not fall. The terms of five ward Councilmen and two Councilmen-at-Ijarge expire next July and their successors are to be chosen in June. It is proposed by the Sunnyside organization to Invoke the recall on the other eight members of the Council. . - A committee has been appointed by the club and is now investigating the records of the different members of the Council. If the committee shall decide to have a recall election, petitions soon will be cir culated for a special election which will be held prior to the regular June elec tion. This will enable the people to se lect other candidates for places ta the Council to be voted on in June, when other city officers are to be elected. The five ward Councilmen whose terms expire in June are: H. W. Wallace. Second Ward; G. D. Dunning, Third; W. I. Cottel, Fifth; R. E. Menefee. Ninth; and W. T. Vaughn. Tenth. Or the Coun-cilmen-at-Large, the terms of . A. N. Wills and H. A. Heppner. who is com pleting the term of Senator Kellaher, will expire at the same time. At its last meeting the Sunnyside Club held . a general discussion of municipal affairs, when the Council was particu larly criticised for holding up Important improvements. Censure was also di rected at the city administration because of excessive taxation, from the proceeds of whicli there is little tangible evidence. Will Decide Tomorrow Xlght. J. T. Wilson, chairman of the Sunny side Club, said yesterday the records of ' the various Councilmen were being inves tigated by a committee of Sunnyside resi dents. This- committee will hold another meeting tomorrow night, when a definite programme of action will be determined. Mr. Wilson contends that the people of Sunnyside feci that the action of the present Council as a whole Is unsatisfac tory to the people of Portland. To date only one candidate has an nounced himself for any of the city of fices. That candidate is A. A. Bailey. Stat Senator, who would accept the Re publican nomination for Mayor. Not a single announcement or declaration of candidacy has been filed with City Aud itor Barbur, although candidates have until 15 days before the election to make such filings. However, two years ago these formal announcements had all been filed by candidates before this date. It is generally rumored that there are an abundance of aspirants for the differ ent nominations, but with the prospect of a city convention being held, there is manifested a disposition on the part of each candidate to wait and see what his rivals will do. While all of the candi dates are not enthusiastic over the con vention plan that has been proposed by some of the Republicans, they are wait ing to sec what candidates hall be rec ommended by such a gathering before going before the people independently. Three Would llctaln Office. Of the five retiring ward Councilmen. three are avowed candidates to succeed themselves. They are II. w. Wallace. G. D. Dunning and R. E. Menefee. Thus far Wallace and Dunning are without active opposition. while Ferdinand E. Reed Is said to aspire to succeed Mene fee. Dr. Cottel. of the Fifth Ward, has not finally decided whether or not he will be a candidate for a second term. To some he has admitted that he does not expect to ask a second term, while to others he has been less positive. The same is true of W. T. Vaughn. Demo crat, against whom two candidates al ready have appeared John H. Burgard and R. P. McDonald. W. H. Chapln. a former member of the Legislature, and J. F. Singer, assistant sergeant-at-arms of the House in the recent session, are mentioned as probable candidates for Dr. Cottol's place In the Council. A. X. Wills, one of the retiring Coun- cilmcn-at-Large, has announced that he Is through with city politics. It was suspected that he would enter the race for the nomination of Mayor, but he has denied that he has any such aspirations. 11. A. Heppner, however, who Is com pleting the term of Senator Kellaher. will seek to retain the Job. Other can didates for Councilmen-at-Large are re ported to be F. J. Brady. Representative from this county, and Herman J. Harris, of South Portland. Ijke tho candidates for Councilmen. thope who would accept the nomination for Mayor are equally backward In com ing out. The latest candidate to be sug gested for this place is I A. McNary. ex-City Attorney. Opposition to City Auditor Barbur and City Attorney Kava naugh. who are serving their first terms, has not developed. Councilman Frank S. Bennett will be a candidate for the Republican nomina tion for Municipal Judse. Another seeker for this nomination Is Seneca Fouts. HIGH PRAISE FOR LHEVINNE Pianist Is Heralded as Great Inter preter of Chopin. The Chopin numbers which Josef Lhevinne lias chosen as part of the splendidly selected programme for the recital tomorrow evening at the Hcilig Theater will more than 'Justify the high praise the critics have bestowivt upon the young Russian artist. Of his Chopin Interpretations the Cincinnati Hn luirer says: "Lhevlnnc's reading of Chopin is dis tinctly passionate and his playing shows the spontaneity, the freshness and inspiration of youth. The' impres sion among his listeners grew that he is a towering figure among the great pianists ut the present, and especially of the younger generation." The composers represented on the programmee for tomorrow evening are Bach-Busonl. Weber. Mozart. Scarlitti Tausig. Schumann. Chopin. d'Albert and Schulz-Evler. The brilliant and beau tiful "Carneval" of Schumann forms an important part of the programme. The recital at tho Heilig tomorrow is under tue direction of Lois Steers Wynn Coman.

"If we have good luck we Khali have cars runlng over the Burnside-strcet bridge Monday night." This Is the word which comes from W. H. spiw, the foreman of tho repair work which Is now being done on the bridge. The repairmen were busy all day yesterday In an effort to get the span up to Hs former level, which was accomplished, and find that the tracks line up better than was expected. Mr. Spaw estimates that the total cost of the repairs will be between J3."00 and $4000. but said that the amount cannot be accurately determined until the bills for material come in and the time of the men Is figured up. Now that the bridge span Is In place it is found that the pier at the east end of the draw has settled three fourths of an Inch, lowering the Jack plates that much, so that the screws which should drop down to hold tue span in place when the bridge is closed, do not work properly. It will be neces sary to wedge up these places. There are also about 30 rivets to be driven to fasten the Iron work underneath the span, and the matcrlnl to be re placed. Including the boards on the walk. During the work of raising the span Into place. i00 worth of hydrau lic Jacks have been broken, owing to the terrific weight they were called upon to support. It was feared for a time that the streetcar tracks would not line up. and that it would be necessary to tear them up and relay them. But when the span was raised Into place, it was found that this would not be necessary. It will take a week or ten days to finish the work. County Commissioner Lightner said last night that as soon as all the bills for the repair work are in they will be submitted to the owners of tho Olson & Mahoney. the steamer which rammed the bridge about 4 P.
