Adoption of Commission Plan
r of Government Provides
Alluring Jobs.
IDOZEN WOULD BE MAYOR
Xearly All 1 6 Incumbent 'unctl-
men to Be Candidate for Fonr
Places Election April 5.
Ward-Politics Eliminated.
TACCTMA, Wash., Jan. 25. (Special.)
' Candidates for office under Taeoma's
Commiaelon plan of government, which
sroea into effect this Spring, will be num
erous. Tlie plan provides for a Mayor
whose salary shall be $4400 a year and for
four Commissioners or Councilmen who
shall be paid $3600 a year, all five officials
to devote their entire time and atten
tion to the city's business.
. The present pay of Councilmen, of
i whom there are 16 under the old form
. of government, is $25 a month and glory.
1 The Mayor now gets $2000 a year.
Mayor Unck, who is completing his
; Urst term of office under the old plan,
1 has announced that he will not be a
candidate, as he has had enough of
office-holding worries. Nearly every other
, official connected with the city govern
! ment is getting into the race, mostly for
! the Councilmanshlps. The Commission
plan election will be held April 5. Nearly
every one of the 16 incumbent Council
men, the Canrmlseioner of Public Works,
the City Treasurer, City Controller and a
tiatch of ex-CouncIlmen have announced
themselves as candidates, using "paid a3
vertlsement" cards in the newspapers.
There are a few Councilmen not yet for
mally In the rare who will be there before
the last day fcr filing, 20 days prior to
election day.
Ward Politics Eliminated.
The idea of the framers of the Com
mifsion plan charter was to have five
business men, worth the money, hold
down the Job of governing the city and
to eliminate partisan and ward politics.
Few business men of any prominence
have thus far announced themselves.
tVork is under way, however, on a ticket
to be indorsed by the Chamber of Com
merce, Commercial Club, Central Trades
Council and Central Improvement League
as worthy of support. A committee of 12
from these organizations is preparing a
list of candidates which will be sub
mitted to the various organizations. The
Central Improvement League is com
prised of repres3ntatives of the improve
ment clubs in the city, 14 In all. This
league asked each club to prepare a list
Of candidates from which the league
would make selections to submit to the
committee of 12. Some of the clubs have
refused, holding that to do so would be
contrary to the spirit of the new charter,
"which provides that no man shall be the
. Candidate of any partisan organization.
A ticket is likely to be agreed upon joint
ly by the four organizations, and sub
mitted to the people.
t No small amount of talk and worry
has been caused by a clause in the
new charter which provides that no
pian holding office may be a candidate
finder the commission plan except for
the same office held. The City At
torney has given out the opinion that
ilty officials now holding office who
pesire to become candidates under the
Commission plan must resign their of
fices except In the case of Councilmen
f'ho seek election to one of the four
ommisslonershtps or "couneilman
hlps." Other legal authorities, equally
prominent, hold that the charter clause,
although worded the same as in the
old charter.-does not apply to the April
election. The new charter does not
go Into real effect until May 3, when
the new officers will take their seats,
and it Is held that the same clause in
the old charter cannot apply, because
the old charter expires with the new
form of government. A nice point of
law is. Involved which may require the
Supreme Court to Interpret.. Some of
the city officials say they will make
sure of their positions by resigning in
March before the last day for filing
for office under the new plan. This is
particularly true of Councilmen who
Intend to run for Mayor. Others will
take , chances and will not reBign, but
will be candidates. Commissioner of
Public Works McGregor says he will
bring auit to determine in court the
meaning of the vexatious clause.
. . Second Elect Ion Provided.
. The new charter provides that in
case no candidates receive a majority
at the first election it shall be con
sidered as a primary election in ef
fect and another election shall be held,
the. candidates highest in the first elec
tion being voted upon again in the
second election. There is small chance
that any candidate will get a majoritj
at the first election, so many have al
ready entered the race.
The race for Mayor to date includes
Councilmen A. E. Lynn, Councilman
Johnson Armstrong, ex-Mayor A. V.
Fa.wcett and James A. Sproule, a but
ter merchant, and there are half a
dozen others known to be grooming
for the race, among them Councilman
John M. Bell, ex-City Treasurer Charles
IX Atkins, who was defeated at the
primary by Linck two years ago for
Mayor: ex-Councilman L. L. Doud of
the Eighth Ward, and others.
In the race already for the four com-'
mlsstonershlps Is Commissioner of Pub
Ilo Works H. J. McGregor, City Treas
urer Ray Freeland, City Controller
John !. Meads, City Clerk L. W Roys
Councilman Lou Kreger, Councilman w'

others. There will be probably ten
times as many candidates for the four
commissionorships as for the mavor

;"WiIllng Barklses'" seeking the -mayoralty.
Altogether. Taeoma's first
commission plan election promises to

iHEMLOCK TO SAVE DOCKS
jtaimber Industry to Be Ilevolntlon
! lied bj- Engineer's Findings.
: ABERDEEN Wash., Jan. 25. (Spe
cial.) If the views and findings of
Assistant Government Engineer E. L.
jcarpenter. In charge of the Jetty work;
at the Grays Harbor bar. 17 miles from
I 'Aberdeen, can be believed or the in
1 -voaUgaUons, whioii will be made, con
firms his disoovery, one of the most
important epochs in the lumber In
dustry In recent years is liable to re
sult. Engineer Carpenter is of the opinion
that hemlock piles alone withstand the
ravages of the troublesome toredo, that
Crustacea which Is sure death to piling
driven in salt water and whose ravages
have lately been brought to light along
the waterfront of Seattle.
Mr. Carpenter bases his opinion on
the fact that piling at the Jetty dock at
Brown's point, which was driven less
than a year ago, will have to be re
placed at once, or before the dock can
be used. He says that the piles there
have been almost destroyed by toredos,
while the hemlock piles are as sound
today as when first driven. The Jetty
dock Is a huge affair, used for unload
ing rock, and its renewal will require
several weeks of work and many hun
dred piles.
But the effect on the logging In
dustry is considered most important,
as It will practically revolutionize that
work-and bring into valuable use one
of the species of timber more or less
abundant on the Coast, which has been
studlousy avoided for many years by
lumbermen.
If proved true, thousands of dollars
will be added to the credit of the tim
ber owner from a source of which he
never dreamed, and the hitherto un
fortunate water-front propertyvowner
and other dock owners will profit as
richly through the vast amount saved
by putting to an end the frequent re
placing of piling, now necessary .where
the toredo holds full sway.
DEEPER HARBOR SOUGHT
TOUSDO FOLK WANT OUTLET TO
PACIFIC OCEAN.
First Step Taken for Organization of
Port of Yaqulna Bay Rail
Kates Are High.
NEWPORT, Or., Jan. 25. (Special.)
An enthusiastic meeting to establish a
Port Commission on Yaquina Bay was
held in the City Hall last night. Thomas
Leese, of the Newport Commercial Club,
presided, and committees from Elk City
and Toledo w(e in attendance.
Lewis Montgomery, of Neahon, was
chairman of the Toledo committee and
made a strong plea for opening up the
channel to Toledo, where he has a mill
established. He said that Lincoln County
contained 90.000.000,000 feet of timber, in
stead of 8,000,000,000, as is generally be
lieved. He said that Portland was the
.heaviest manufacturer of lumber in the
world, and that this was due to her re
sources and her deep-water harbor, 122
miles from the sea. During a visit to
all the states in the Union he learned
that Oregon led in undeveloped resources.
The speeches in general criticised the
Southern Pacific system for the exorbi
tant freight rates on the Corvallis &
Eastern, which, it is charged, make it un
profitable to raise anything to ship out
side by rail. Two dollars and seventy-five
cents per thousand feet for hauling lum
ber 75 miles was considered high by all
present. Ex-Judge Stewart, of Lincoln
County, and C. B. Corno said that more
commerce must be shown before the Gov.
ernment will give an appropriation. . Ma
jor Mclndoe recently decided the plan of
a deep channel to Toledo Is possible, but
said the commerce was only in the fu
ture. Major Bensell, of Newport, wants the
thing put on a business basis before going
ahead. He said the improvement of Ya
quina Bay bar was estimated to cost
$4u,000 and that $687,000 was expended and
a million more appropriated to finish the
work. Mr. Wygant's careful estimate
from recent surveys place the cost of a
ten-foot deep, 75-foot channel to Toledo
at $40,000, or 100-foot channel at $66,000.
The meeting ended in Mr. Leese being
appointed chairman of a committee of
five to investigate the existing conditions.
Owing to the great interest all over the
county, it is believed that a tax will be
used to raise the money required to oper
ate the Government dredge and that a
channel to Toledo will be established.

BRADY IF1 FAVOR
OF STATE CONTROL
Idaho Governor Backs New
Move-for Natural
Resources.
TIMBER LANDS AFFECTED
That Western Governors Will Work
for Plan Is Belief of Executive
Who Has Jut Iteturned
i From Washington Meet.
BOISE. Idaho. Jan. 25. (Special.)
Returning from Washington after an
absence of four weeks. Governor James
H. Brady to-day declared in favor of
state control of natural resources, prin
cipally to vast tracts of valuable timber
land now held in reserves by the forestry
bureau.
Governor Brady states he believes that
a law giving the control of these lands
to states will do much towards develop
ing the West, for he is inclined to the
opinion that most of the Western Gov
ernors will work for its establishment.
"Idaho's right to the selection of 1,000,
000 acres of land within the forest re
serves is to be urged before Secretary
Ballinger." statedGrovernor Brady.
"The state laws claim to this acreage
in the application for the survey of the
tracts involved, haB been filed previous
to the creation of . the reserves. The
plats of survey were filed later and
when the state's selection lists were
forwarded to Washington they were re
jected on the ground that the land was
within the National forests.
"In other words, the Department held
that the state's right to the selection
did not attach with the filing of the ap
plicaions for survey. State funds were
deposited to defray the expenses of the
engineers in the field and these funds
are still held by the General Land Of
flc. We contend that our right of se
lection existed from the date of these
applications.
"A favorable decision by the Depart
ment will mean much to our educational
Institutions. The land involved is of far
greater value than any similar acreage
in the state available - for selection."

COON SLAIN; 'MURDER' OUT
Vancouver Boys' "Assault" Turns
Out to Be Hunters' Work.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Jan. , 25. (Spe-.
claL) A scuffle in the -dark, witnessed
by two boys on an early morning hunt
in the timber near Vancouver Lake,
beaten places and blood on the snow,
tracks of two men dragging something
to the Ice on the lake and over the ice
on the lake to a hole cut in the Ice,

earth a murder, but the mystery was

CHILD MAY BE HEIR
Furniture Dealer's Natural
Daughter Is Claimant.
ESTATE IS WORTH $50,000
Rival Creditors Seek to Administer
Property or Seattle Man Killed
by Woman Whom He Had
Cast Aside.
SEATTLE, Jan. 25. Celeste Marie Ie
Moln, the young daughter of Charles O.
Tucker, who was murdered in a hotel
here last Friday night by Elvira Bunkle
man, may become sole heir of the fur
niture dealer's estate of more than $60,000.
Tucker's father, mother and brother live
at North Pharasalia, N. Y., and are ex
pected to lay claim to the property.
Tucker always admitted the paternity of
the child, Celeste, and influential people
here familiar with the pitiful story of the
girl's mother, who ran away with Tucker
from a St. Louis convent school and gave
him her fortune of $20,000, will endeavor
to get the estate for the little girl, even
If her St. Louis relatives do nothing.
Tucker left no will. The Bunkleman
woman killed htm, it was learned today,
because, after promising to marry her, he
had cast her oft and became engaged to
another woman.
In accordance with the plan to protect
the Interests of Celeste TeMoln, the pro
bate court today appointed James E. Mun
son, a furniture dealer, as special ad
ministrator to represent the child. This
was done at the request of George M.
Wintemute, who told the court that he
was one of Tucker's creditors.
Later In the day William Voigt, an
other creditor, asked for the appoint
ment of a general administrator, ignoring
the claims of the LeMoln child to a
share in the estate as the heir of Tucker.
The court commissioner will act upon
this petition tomorrow.

buy a watch from a regular
