REBATE-ENDS TODAY

CLERKS READY FOR RUSH
Office "Will Be Open rtom 8 A. M.

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 footings
on the week show the following list of
daily receipts:

Saturday's total has not been ascer
tained yet, owing to the late flood of
checks which were being cpened and
received yesterday. 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.

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.

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

"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
