BAKER FOR WILLAMETTE Returned Councilman Stands by Hoard of Health Award, but Council May Stand 7 to 1, With No Casting Vote for Mayor. The situation with regard to a proposed garbage crematory was further compli cated yesterday by the filing of an offer by the Public Works Engineering Com pany, of Portland, to build a plant in ac cordance with the specifications of the proposed burner of the Willamette Iron & Steel works for- $40,000 less than the latter concern's bid. "I will consider the matter thorough ly." was all Mayor Simon would say relative to the proposition made by the Public Works Company. Bluff, Says Baker. Councilman Baker returned from Cali fornia yesterday and conferred with the Mayor relative to the garbage crematory, assuring the Mayor he will support the recommendation of the Board of Health for the Willamette Iron & Steel Works Plant. Mr. Baker, accompanied by Councilman Rushlight, called upon the Mayor late in the day regarding the supplemental offer of the Public Works Company. "The offer of the Public Works Com pany is a pure bluff. In my opinion," said Mr. Baker. "If the company officers were sincere and can build a crematory now for $40,000 less than the Willamette Iron & Steel Works, why didn't they bid that way In the first place 7 "It ts impossible for the Board of Health now to consider this proposition, coming at this date as it does. The cer tified check accompanying, it cannot be accepted by the city, as trt officers of the company know as well as any one else. I don't Intend to pay any attention whatever to this proposition, as I don't consider It fair in any sense. The city has opened bids and has seen the fig ures and the plans and specifications of the bidders. It cannot at this time proceed to toss overboard all of these bids and accept one tendered long after the deal la virtually closed. As far as I am concerned. I am glad to have the Mayor and Board of Health shoulder the responsibility for the type of plant, as the Council fussed around with it four years and did nothing. We've got to have the crematory, and It is no time to block the Mayor in his plans." T1eVote Seems Probable. The Mayor and members of the Board of Health have recommended an appropriation of $119,500 for the con struction of a crematory, to be built by the Willamette Iron and Steel Works of Portland, and it is a question whether the Baker-Rushlight forces can secure enough votes to carry the ordinance. At present they have the strength. Councilman Devlin, who is favorable to the appropriation, is ab sent in California. The best informa tion obtainable yesterday afternoon showed Councilmen Baker, Rushlight. Wallace. Belding, Menefee, Concannon and Ellis in favor of the ordinance, and Councilmen Kubli, Cellars, Drls coll, Annand, Dunning Watkins and Lombard opposed. This constitutes a tie of seven- to seven and the Mayor has no deciding vote on an ordinance, as he holds the veto power. The situation is complicated, as it is feared that it will perhaps result In the defeat of the plans for building any kind of crematory. The Mayor has said that, should the Council block the efforts of the Board of Health, he will not build another type of incin erator. Public Works Company's Xew Bid. The bids of the Public Works Com pany, which were opened with other bids from competitors, were for two types of plants, at $95,500 for one and $119,900 for the other. Its supplemen tary proposition is as follows! Th Public Works Kngineering- Company of Portland, Or., begs leave to submit the following propottlon for building crematory for City of Portland: If the City of Portland shall desire to build a crematory plant according to the plans and specifications submitted by the Willamette Iron & Steel Works, the Public Works Engineering Company will build a plant in accordance with said plans and specifications for the sura of $79.rtOO, being $40, 000 less than the bid submitted by the Willamette Iron & Steel Works for the building of - said plant, and give a good and sufficient surety bond for the faithful per formance of said work. The Public Works Engineering Company herewith hands you & certified check No. 96, on the United States National Bank of Portland. Or., for the sum of SSOO0, made payable to the Mayor of the City of Port land, as a guarantee that they will enter into euch contract for said work If the same shall be awarded to them.

Mayor Simon yesterday vetoed the Increases in salary granted by the City Council last week to Deputy City Audi tors Gill. West. Hutchinson. Mc Eachern and Pierce and filed his mes sage to the Council with the Auditor. While the Mayor's messags was being filed Councilmen Baker and Cellars, members of the ways and means com mittee, and several of their colleagues indulged in a wordy war over the first veto of the salary ordinance, respect ing firemen and 1 policemen, to which the Mayor made known his objection last week. Emergency Clause Wanted. Owing to the fact that it had but nine votes, failing to carry an emer gency clause, the pay of all city de partments 'is held up until the expira tion of 30 days, under the initiative and referendum rule. Cellars en deavored to secure the co-operation of Baker and Rushlight and their follow ing to carry an emergency clause in the Council tomorrow, so that the pay roll may be audited and the men paid. "I will stand pat and vote to pass the whole ordinance oVer-the Mayor's veto," said Baker, who had Just returned from San Francisco. "It is no fault of mine that the salaries cannot be paid," ad dressing Cellars. "It is your : fault; you voted against the increases and If the veto is sustained Wednesday it will be because you and a few others, who are in the minority, can rule because you have the Mayor with his llttJe veto in your favor." "What is the use of holding up the salaries of regular employes when the question at issue is over men not yet employed?" asked Cellars. "Well, I refuse to separate the items of salary," retorted Baker, "and if I can get the votes I'll whip you into line, too, and pass this ordinance over the Mayor's veto." "You couldn't whip me into line if you had 47 votes," answered Cellars. "I determine what I think is right and vote that way; no action of yours would change my vote." Baker Won't Favor Truce. A proposition was made by Cellars that the two factions get together in case of the passage of the ordinance over the veto, or even if it fails to pass, and arrange a means of caring for the regular salaries. An emergency ordinance, carrying these, could be passed under a flag of truce, so to speak. Baker replied that he did not favor this, but later said he would not hurt any city employe and that he would help to pay them. The verbal clash occurred Just before the Council com mittee on ways and means took up its business. The Mayor vetoed the ordinance carrying the graded scale of pay for firemen and policemen because he re garded it as unsatisfactory and because it was contrary to the recommendation of the "Executive Board. His reasons for objecting to the increases of pay included in the item covering the Audi tor's office are given in his message to the Council, which follows: I have returned and filed with the Audi tor ordinance No. 20561, entitled. "An Ordi nance Making Appropriation Out of the General Fund for the Payment of Expenses of the City of Portland For the Fiscal Tear 1910," passed by the Council on January 12. 1910. approved as to all the Items ot euch ordinance except the Items thereof under the genera; title, "Auditor's Office." section 7, as follows: "For salary of one deputy, not to exceed $175 per month; for salary of 11 deputies and clerks, not 'to exceed each $150." ' Major TeUs Why He Objects. These Items objected to by me contem plate an increase of salary of one deputv from ISO to $175, four deputies from $125 to $150. I do not believe that these in creases are necessary or that private cor porations or individuals conducting large business enterprises would pay the salaries fixed in the Item of this ordinance objected to for the. services of the character being rendered by the employes referred to. The increases do not met with my approval. In this connection I must also respectfully refer you to my veto message accompanying ordinance No. 20553. For the reasons stated I must ask your honorable body to re consider the items to which I take excep tion. y It has been necessary for me to Include In this veto the appropriation made for the salaries fixed for other deputies and clerks in the Auditor's office, and to which I take no exception, because they have air been uiciuuca in one general item of approprla- Hlstorlcal Names for Cars. Indian names historical in Oregon have been selected by the Oregon Electric for two new observation cars that are soon to go on the Salem line. One will be called the Sacajawea, for th Indian wo man guide who piloted Lewis and Clark Into the Oregon country. The other car will be called Champoeg, which was the name of the first seat of the- provisional government in Oregon.

Referring to the Beef Trust If the people of Portlaud would do what is right, every one of Smith's markets would be crowded to the doors patriots would refuse to eat Beef Trust meat. This city would be in the depths of distress from high-priced meat, had not Frank L. fcmith for the past four years fought and wrestled with the Beef Trust. The Trust had the retail butchers all lined up. Men could be found who would do most any detestable act. ' You remember how five of the Beef Trust's markets flung out banners, "Fighting the Beef Trust," trying to fool the public? One market-keeper followed on a bicycle behind Mr. Smith, saying: "We have had this man boycotted; don't trade with him." They used the courts of justice for knavery. Smith was be-i seeched, entreated, implored and begged to stop the fight. At last came an offer to buy his Alder-street market, with the premonitory warning: "If you don't sell out, we will put a market right alongside of you and drive you out." Smith would not sell, and the market was put there. Later on came another warning: "If necessary we will put another market on the other side of you." That market was put there, too. .
