On "GETS EVEN"
SMASHES LIGHTS AT STATE
HOUSE FOR SPITE.
Seeks Reward Tor Tracy-Merrill
Chase, hut Comes Two Years Too
Late and Starts Row.
SALEM. Or.. June 3. (Special.) There
was great excitement at the Statehouse
for a few moments this morning, when
a husky lumberjack named J. A. Mc
Donald tried to demolish all the electric
lights and chandeliers in the lobby on the
ground floor.
McDonald had a claim against the state
in connection with the Tracy-Merill mat
ter of June, 102. when a number of
citizens took part in the pursuit of the
two desperate convicts who made their
escape from the Oregon Penitentiary.
Warrant Clerk Janes Allison of the 3?c
retary of State's fnce, looked up the
matter and found that McDonald had a
valid claim against the state, but under
the terms of the law appropriating the
money to pay the men who took part in
the man hunt the- balance remaining un
paid on December 31, 1906, reverted back
to the State Treasury. ,
Allison tried to explain to McDonald
that the latter was over two . years too
late to get his money, but the fellow
refused to believe this, and accused the
employes of the department of putting
the money in their pockets. Declaring
that he would "get even with you fellows
everyone of you," McDonald left the
office and went down stairs.
In the lobby of the first floor he re
moved his hat and swinging it above his
head, began to demolish the electric
lights. Janitor Rockwell saw him and
yelled at him. McDonald took to his heels
with C. N. McArthur. H. H. Corry. J. M.
Throne, W. Harvey Wells, a Portland in
surance solicitor, and Clifford Benson in
pursuit. After circling the building a
couple of times, with the clerks and offi
cials in hot pursuit, McDonald started
for town. Near the Postofflce he was
captured and taken to jail. Me appeared
to be slightly demented or sobering up
after a protracted spree.

SERVICE IS POOR
Municipal Lighting System at
Seattle Inefficient.
STREET LIGHTS OFTEN OUT
City System TJnable to Compete Suc
cessfully With Private Compa
nies for Business of Private
Consumers Generally.
SEATTLE, June 3. (Special.) It Is
only when a comparison Is made with
other cities that a real idea can be
gained of the efficiency of the munici
pal lighting plant which is costing the
people of Seattle more than 2,000,000.
While Seattle is paying $60 a year to
the lighting department for each arc
streetlamp, Portland pays about the
same. In no city In the Northwest has
the service given the people been so
unsatisfactory as in Seattle.
For whole weeks early last Winter
the lights were out, from two hours
to all night, in whole residence wards
of the city, and frequently the whole
city suffered. While in some cases this
was due to unavoidable accident at the
power plant, or on the pipe line, at
other times it was palpably due to the
city's inability to supply the full load
imposed on the service. In other words,
the city, by competition with the pri
vate lighting companies, had gained so
much business in a rapidly growing
field, that in order to supply its private
customers it was obliged to let some of
Its own streets go unlighted. And all
this time thugs and highwaymen ter
rorized the citizens in the unlighted
districts, and citizens alternately cursed
the lighting department, blamed the po
lice and agitated revolver target prac
tice for self-protection. Seattle people
are under the Impression that resi
dents of Portland, who are buying their
lighting and power from a private cor
poration, have never suffered under
conditions anything like these.
Rates Poorly Handled.
The city's lighting management shows
less ability In the handling of its- rates
than do the private companies. While
the city Is cutting rates In order to
land some heavy contract downtown,
residents in the outlying districts are
not supplied with lighting except by
private corporations, which, exclusive
of the street lighting, control still 80
per cent of the lighting of the city.
y Yet the city is in the position of hav
ing to fight hard for commercial busi
ness to steer clear of a deficit, the bur-'
den of which would fall on the tax
payers. So the citizens face the alter
native of accepting this condition from
the city lighting plant or voting more
and more bonds or donating from their
general fund to permit the city's plant
to give the kind of service needed. -
Private Companies Do Better.
Both private companies handle their
business with more satisfaction to their
consumers than does the municipal de
partment. So far is this true that In
the face of the hardest competition
the city is able to give at the expense
of its street-lighting the companies are
able to maintain, and in numerous
private instances to increase, their
rates while their business increases
faster than before the city entered the
Held.
To just what extent these conditions
are due to the rapid growth of the
city can only be guessed, but they are
the conditions, and they indicate the
ability of the companies to deal with
the local situation better than the city
is doing.
As showing one of the causes of
complaint against the local municipal
lighting system the case of the Am
herst Hotel is cited. Last November
the city had a contract with this hotel
on the basis of a connected load of
i kilowatts. Qr about half the actual
load. The result of this contract was
to give the hotel a monthly minimum
of $26, whereas the private con
cerns would have made the mini
mum $50. In the meantime householders
were unable to obtain lighting from the
city, although had this power been di
verted to small users as was contem
plated when the plant was established,
it would have secured a higher rate
and would have been more prosperous
while coming nearer giving the people
the service to which they are entitled.
Employes Xot Efficient.
Another sore point In the minds of
the citizens against the local municipal
lighting system is the comparative in
efficiency of the employes. The ambi
tion which leads to hard work and
faithful service on the part of employes
of the private concerns seems to be
entirely lacking on the part of the
civil service employes of the depart
ment. They feel sure of their jobs
and their wages and the light eight
hour day appeals to them. They are
less efficient than the employe of a
private concern, who is subject direct
ly to the man in charge of his depart
ment. Only the other day Arnold Zblnden,
Councilman from the Sixth Ward, was
kept in the office waiting 12 minutes to
receive the attention which the clerks
could give him whenever the spirit
sufficiently moved them. To move the
languid ones he would have to go be
fore the civil service board and prefer
charges. It might take weeks to get
results, and the board is uncertain in
its action on matters of this kind, as
shown by the experience of the Chief
of Police with inefficients in his department-
GETS AIR; LOSES WATCH
Pullman Passenger Leaves Car Win
dow Open for Thief.
OAKLAND, Or.. June 3. A daring rob
bery occurred on southbound Southern
Pacific train No. 15. Wednesday morning,
between here and Drain. A passenger on
one of the Pullmans left his window up
to admit air to the berth, and upon
awakening soon after the train left
Drain, missed a part of his clothing and
upon Investigating, found his coat and
vest gone, together with a gold watch
and a package of valuable papers which
were In the pockets of the coat that had
been hung near the open window.
The train waits at Drain to couple on
a second engine, and It le supposed that
some tramp must have taken the oppor
tunity to snatch them through the win
dow and escape in the darkness. No trace
of the thief has been found as yet.
The watch was a hunting case, with elk
head on back, and the clothes were dark
brown.

and received his early schooling in a
schoolhouse erected by his father on his
donation land claim a few miles north

composed almost wholly of reminiscences
of the early days, when the settlers at
Amity, Lafayette, Chehalem Valley and
North Yamhill were not too far distant
from each other to be the best of neigh
bors. That Yamhill pioneers were a rugged
lot was exemplified in the attendance of
half a dozen couples who have celebrated
their golden wedding anniversary. Mr.

WILL ADD SECOXD CRUISER TO
COASTAL FLEET.
Former Naval Vessel Chosen, and
Will Also Be TTsed as Training
Ship for Militia.
VICTORIA. B. C-June 3 (Special.)
Incident to the rapid growth of fish poach
ing in the coastal waters of British Co
lumbia and the proportions that industry
has latterly attained, the Canadian gov
ernment is about to supplement the serv
ice rendered by the cruiser Kestrel by
placing In commission another cruiser.
Time being saved thereby and also money,
a suitable vessel will be purchased from
the imperial authorities out of the fleet
of retired naval craft, and negotiations
in this direction are now pending.
This cruiser, in addition to being used
as a fishery cruiser, will incidentally serve
as a training ship in connection with the
projected Canadian navy, according to
Rear-Admiral Kingsmlll. who goes to
England In a few weeks to make selection
of the vessel. The recent weeding out of
Ineffective fighting ships by the Admiral
ty has lessened the size of the fleet from
which choicfe can be made, the vessels of
fered being, as a rule, either too large or
too small.
Pending delivery of the cruiser chosen,
the tug William Joliffe is to be rechar
tered and the Newington withdrawn from
lighthouse service, both being placed on
the fisheries patrol.
While at Prince Rupert recently. Ad
miral Kingsmlll and Captain Macdonald.

What has become of Sheriff Thorpe, of

greatly puzzling the British Columbia
police, by wljom the outlaw is being held

Oregon Railroad Commission Favors
Box Men Against S. P.
SALEM, Or.. June 3. (Special.) The
State Railroad Commission has taken up
with the Southern Pacific the matter of

Oregon points to California points than
lumber. Other roads make the same
rates on these products as on lumber but
the Southern Pacific charges. $1 more.
The Railroad Commission has requested
that the rate be made the same as on
lumber, and if this is not done the mat
ter will be laid before the Interstate
