His Political Followers.
Between December 18. this year,
and January 2S. next, six plums
carrying salaries of from $3000 to
$600 per annum. will mature on
ttm Federal patronage tree in this
state. . The Jobs include two Reg
isters of United States Land Of
fices, two Receivers of United States

Collector of Internal Revenue at Port
land. The six offices In which vacan
cies will occur, the Incumbents, date

United States Marshal for Oregon
C. J. Reed. January IS. 1910. $4000.
To date no great activity lias devel
oped among those having office-holding
aspirations for these places. Promi
nent lieutenants In the Bourne camp
here in Portland declared yesterday
that they were not aware of any can
didates for either of the half doren
oftices. With fingers crossed, some of
them even expressed surprise when it
was suggested that In leas than six
months a number of good Jobs In the
Government service. would be available
In Oregon. '
Old Agreement Abandoned.
Just what method will be followed
by the delegation at Washington in
deciding on these appointees Is more
or lss a conundrum, but It is sur
mised that Bourne will endeavor to
control this patronage. Prior to the
advent of Bourne at Washington, the
members of the Oregon delegation had
the ouestton of distributing this pat
ronage adjusted to the complete satis
faction of all concerned. Under that
arrangement the two Congressmen
were given the privilege of appointing
all of the postmasters throughout the
state with the single exception of the
home towns of the two Senators.
In these instances, each Senator was
to select the postmaster, his appointee
to be ratified by the other members of
the delegation without further cere
mony. At the same time, all other ap
pointments, such as officers of the Land
. Offices. United States Attorney. United
. States Marshal and other such offices,
were left to the Senators.
But when Bourne reached Washing
ton he objected to that division of the
plums on the ground that he did not
like to Join In the confirmation of any
. appointee In whose selection he had
had nothing to say. At his request, the
other members of the delegation agreed
' to pass on all appointments, the choice
of a majority to be binding. This plan
worked all right until the time came
for selecting a successor to W. C. Bris
tol as United States Attorney. It was
here that the delegation split up.
: Bourne wanted to name Scheubel. of
: Oregon City, and would accept no other
' man for the place. It was then that the
; agreement was abandoned.
Bourne May Reward Friends.
It is now expected that with a Demo
cratic colleague in the upper house
' of Congress. Bourne will Insist on a
. return to the old order of distributing
these plums and undertake tnereby to
control all appointments. Kor that rea
, son it is strongly suspected that
Bourne will land some of his more
prominent supporters In reasonably
1 satisfactory berths. It has been bus
1 gested in some quarters that it will
', afford him an opportunity to make
1 good with Scheubel. for whom he failed
i to land the United States Attorneyship.
' There also is a strong belief that J.
' Frank Sinnott will land one of the Jobs.
Aside from these men. It Is largely Idle
guesswork at tills early stage to make
further predictions. Even Tom Mc
Cusker. always active among the
. Bourne contingency, looks wise and
: declares he has no Idea of the men
Jonathan Is considering for these
places.
This uncertainty, however, in all
probability will be cleared away not
later than next October, when, accord
ing to a letter received yesterday by
Vr SInnott. Senator Bourne is plan
ning to visit Portland. During the
same month President Taft will spend
several days In this state during which
time Bourne is advertising that the
President will he his guest. This
promised visit will give Bourne an
opportunity to consult with his ad
. visers in this city with the result
that he probably will have picked the
winners before ho returns to Wash
ington. Oregon's two representatives In con
gress, however, may not accede to
. Bourne s probable plan for filling
these offices. It is more tlian prob
able that they will demand a voice
in determining who the appointees
shall be. They have heard rumors
to the effect that an understand
ing exists between Bourne and
Chamberlain by which the former is to
he the dispenser of Federal plums.
Hawlev and Kills are not strong for
monopolies and may rebel against any
one-man dictation.

Isn't. The dainty little delft-ware come

Sam Chip at the Orpheum this week and
appropriating most of the applause. It s

A new barn to accommodate increased
equipment will be built at once on mo
East Side, south of Hawthorne avenue.
Start Reform at Once.
During his visit to Seattle, Mayor
Simon noted the contrast between the
method of cleaning the streets there and
here, and determined to have local af
fairs In this regard remedied without loss
of time. He therefore called a meeting
of the street-cleaning committee of the
Kxecutive Board and City council joint
ly, and was present himself at the session
yesterday afternoon. Messrs. Clark and
Connell, of the Executive Board, and
Councllmen Watkins and Lombard and
Superintendent Donaldson were there.
and matters pertaining lo tne cleanliness
of the streets were quite thoroughly dis
cussed. Superintendent Donaldson will be given
every assistance by the legislative and
executive branches of the city govern
ment In the crusade for clean streets.
New power brooms will arrive here from ,
the factory In the Bast soon. This will
increase the efficiency of the department
so that it will be possible to sweep nine
miles of hard-surfaced pavement more
than at present. Seven miles each night
is the present capacity, and this Is inadequate-Owing
to the fact that the facilities of
the department must be Increased, Mayor
Simon and the Joint committees decided
to select a site for a new barn. This
will be located probably on city prop
erty at East Eleventh and Powell streets,
but at any rate, will be placed some
where In that vicinity, south of Haw
thorne avenue. This matter was left for
adjustment with Councilman Watkins.
who Is chairman of the Council commit
tee on street cleaning. The new barn
will cost about $11,000. An estimate of
the entire new equipment necessary to
give the city a much better service In
this department will be furnished Mayor
Simon by Superintendent Donaldson at
an early date.
Must Sprinkle at Night.
Mayor Simon and members of the com
mittees are desirous that no more water
shall be sprinkled on hard-surface pave
ments during the day. but that these
shall be thoroughly cleaned at night. In
the downtown districts It Is planned to
have a crew at work during the day to
keep the streets free from debris, and in
this connection Mayor Simon and Chairf
man Clarke, of the Executive Board po
lice committee, will see that the police
enforce very rigidly the ordinance for
bidding the sweeping of refuse Into the
street. This nuisance will be stopped at
once, as It is declared to be one of the
most prolific sources of dirt that the
authorities have to contend with.
It Is the determination of the Mayor
and members of the respective commit
tees to make Portland's streets as clean
as It Is possible to keep them with an
up-to-date system and an ample force of
workmen to execute the orders of Super
intendent Donaldson.
MAYOR ISSUES ORDER
CLEAR WATERFRONT.
TO
.scows and manner of life of those
dwelling there constitute a great men-
ace to the waterfront, and It is for
these reasons that the Mayor, upon
noting the conditions himself, on a re
cent trip of Inspection, determined to
obliterate the whole of "scowtown"
within the city limits. Unless the old I
scows and belongings are removed, the
Mayor will have the police force de
stroy everything that is included in
the order to move.
Simon, However, Will Not Force
Strict Compliance Within Period
Which He Has Prescribed.
Mayor Simon yesterday issued an or
der and authorized Chief of Folic Cox
and Harbormaster Speier to sign it,
notifying all owners and dwellers on
scows along the. waterfront within the
city limits to remove their belongings
by August 26. While this limited time
Is specified by the Mayor, he stated
that he will not be harsh In enforcing
it, unless those affected by its terms
should assume a defiant attitude. If
they do. he will use the police force to
ejeot them at the expiration of the
time stated: If they are willing to obey
the edict but find It Impossible for any
good reason to comply within the limit,
he will grant an extension. However,
not more than 90 days from today
will be given in any event.
"It Is not at all my purpose to be
harsh In this matter." said the Mayor,
after he had Issued the order, "but I
must Insist that the waterfront be
cleaned up and that those occupying
scows along the river remove their be
longings. I cannot permit them to
remain there, for reasons that are per
fectly plain. It is an unfit place for
the people themselves, and it Is posi
tively a menace to health and property,
so that It Is imperative that they move
"I am Inclined to give them plenty
of time In which to change their
abodes, but I will enforce this order to
the strict letter If any defiance Is of
fered. If those affected do their best
to obey the order, but for good and
sufficient reasons cannot locate else
where by August 26, I will extend, the
time to give them further opportunity,
but under no circumstances will I per
mit any of them to remain in their
present homes longer than 90 days
from now; and I muph prefer that they
all move out In the time specified in
the order." ,
Mayor Simon's order will affect hun
dreds of families, who have lived on
waterfront scows here for many years.
Previous efforts to move them having
failed, they remain In their old abodes,
their children being reared in most
unhealthy and Improper surroundings,
according to the city authorities. The
