Xew Commission Government Will
Handle Projects Involving' Over
$4,00,000"5Iayor-Elect Had

TACOMA, April 24. (Special.) Ta
coma's new Mayor and four Commis
sioners, elected to govern this city
under its commission plan of govern
ment, will have some big projects
awaiting their Immediate attention
when they take office, Tuesday, May 3.
Mayor-elect A. V. Fawcett and Com
missioners Owen Woods, Nicholas Law
son, L. W. Roys and Ray Freeland will
comprise the entire city government
under the new plan.
Among the first things to demand at
tention will be a general rearrangement
of the city departments. Heads galore
are due to drop into the basket, for
Mayor-elect Fawcett believes many of
the departments are top-heavy with
men whose chief occupation is to warm
chairs and "chin.A He is confident he
can save the city $20,000 to $25,000 pet
month on its payroll alone.
One of the biggest problems ahead
of the new administration is the Green
River gravity water supply project.
Voted for by the people April 5. This
provides for an issue of $500,000 worth
of bonds to start work at once, and in
volves a total expenditure of $1,888.-
4f. Next comes general supervision
of the $2,000,000 electric power plant
the city has started building on the
Nisqually River.
The third important improvement Is
three large drainage districts in the
West End, involving an expenditure of
jioo.uoo, lor which a bond Issue was
voted April 5.
The new charter provides that where
no candidate for office receives a ma
jority or an tne votes cast, a second
election shall be held to decide between
the two men having the most votes.

Anicelo Vance Fatvcett, Retired
Merchant, Who Becomes Mayor
of Tacoma, May 3.
Out of a field of eight candidates
Fawcett received a handsome majority
at the first election, and that after a
campaign in which he was supported
by no newspaper, appeared before no
Improvement club or church brother
hood organizations of the two latter
class taking a very prominent part in
the campaign but relied entirely on
"gum shoe" work.
' Angelo Vance Fawcett Is 64 years of
age, has been a resident of Tacoma- for
x- - '''-V
nho Confix- II - - - M l
27 years, and is a retired merchant.
He was for years an active Democrat,
serving- as chairman of the Board ' of
County Commissioners In 1894 and
1895, and as Mayor of Tacoma'ln 1896
and 1897, winning his election by two.
lone votes. Three times he has re
ceived the Democratic nomination for
Governor. A great admirer of Roose
velt, he entered the Republican ranks
a few years ago, and was a candidate
for the Mayoralty nomination against
the late Louis D. Campbell, losing' out
In the convention. In the first primary
election he was an unsuccessful can
didate for Lieutenant-Governor. He
has always been a great friend of the
poor classes, Christmas dinners at
which 1000 people were fed, being
among his benefactions.
Mayor-elect Fawcett represents what
is known as the "liberal" element, and
is government' of the city will be
along those lines.
BOAT TAKEN, TAKEN AGAIN
Continued from Page l.i)
American flag that attracted the atten
tion of the pursuers.
Waited forRathbun.
Boarding the fish boat, the county offi
cers found that Deputy Warden Rathbun
had departed for Goble, and they waited
for him to return, then serving the paper
on him. This relieved Rathbun of his
charge, and, as soon as the .boats could
be made ready, the return to Portland
was begun.
As soon as the party reached Port
land, the salmon were placed in the
charge of Deputy Sheriff Preobstel, under
whose supervision they were weighed on
the Portland Fish Company's dock at
the foot of Ash street.
Charges of misconduct against Deputy
Warden Rathbun are made by Captain
John W. Kelly, who Was in charge of
the Bonnie and its cargo. at the time they
were confiscated. Captain Kelly says
that Rathbun, in the patrol boat Astoria,
rammed his boat and drew a revolver)
threatening to shoot him.
John F. Meehan, of the Portland Fish
Company, said yesterday that he had
information to the effect that the War
den intended to sell both fish and launch
at Kalama, on the Washington side, for
anything they would bring. He says that
this action was against the law, in view
or tne tact that the question in dispute,
with regard to fishing in Clackamas
County, had been decided In favor of the
fishermen by Judge Gantenbein in Ore
gon City. Mr. Meehan said emphati
cally that he intended to hold Fish War
den McAllister responsible for the loss
of the fish.
In answer to this. Deputy Warden
Rathbun says that the action of Meehan
in putting up a bond of $7000 with Sheriff
Stevens puts the responsibility on-Mee-han's
shoulders.
CRAWFORD MAKES STATEMENT
Attorney-General Says State Will
Eight Pish War to Finish.
SALEM. Or., April 24 (Special.) Dis
cussing the war between the State Board
of Fish Commissioners and the Willam
ette and Clacakamas River fishermen,
Attorney-General Crawford said tonight:
"The full power of the state will be
used, if necessary, to uphold the au
thority of the Supreme Court and the
Board of Fish Commissioners. The Port
land Fish Company has obtained pos
session of the salmon shipped into Port
land Saturday nisht by commencing a
replevin action. We are going to fight
this action to a finish, and when the
proper time comes, will proceed against
the Portland Fish Company on Its bond
of $7000. .
"I fail to see any logic in the Circuit
Court's contention that section 5 of the
law of 1901, repeals by implication or any
other way. section 45 of the same act.
The 1901 act is the original act, cover
ing the fishing industry fully.
"There have been amendments to cer
tain sections of the law of 1901, but there
has been no new act. and the amend
ments simply have been incorporated in
and have become parts of the act of 1901.
There has been no enactment to alter,
amend or repeal section 4106 of the
code, which gives the Board of Fish
Commissioners authority to close streams
under certain conditions. This section
was not in conflict with the section fix
ing definite closing dates on certain
streams when the law of 1901 was passed,
and I fail to seew how it is possible for
any conflict to arise at this late date."

UREAMICSPASMS
The Linn Drug Company, of Eugene,
Or., sent us the names of three patients
who had recovered after ureamic spasms
had developed.
We wrote them and have in hand the
first reply Mrs. M. C. Reisner writes as
follows: "I feel it my duty to say to
you and through you to all who suffer
with kidney disease that your Renal
Compound has saved my life as I sure
ly believe. When I first began taking
it after having been under the Doc
tor's care. and having suffered several
years I was so weak that I had to be
helped up in bed to take the medicine.
Now, after taking about a dozen bot-l
ties. I am up and doing my work and
think myself about as well as I ever
was. I shall be ever grateful to my
neighbor. Mrs. Angle Chapman, of this
city, who advised, me to try the Renal
Compound. The above doesn't express
one thousandth part of what I would
like to say to you and to all who suf
fer as I have suffered, but will partly
make up for it by recommending- your
Renal Compound to sufferers."
Heretofore chronic kidney disease
that has reached the point of convul
sions was almost inevitably fatal.
If you think anything else In the
world reaches chronic inflammation of
the kidneys, please turn to one of the
late works on "Brighfs Disease," by
James Tyson. M.D., of the University
of Pennsylvania, page 156, and you will
find this statement: A to special cura
tive measures directed to producing
structural chansres In the kidney and
return to Ita normal hitoloicy I believe
there are none and mmt of the meas
ure that have been from time to time
BUKKrented are absolutely uarlcm."
This was the situation up to the
working out of Fulton's Renal Com
pound. It is the first thing ever known
to reach CHRONIC kidney disease.

Portland's Aid Sought.
It is planned by Oregon City to enlist
the aid of Portland In the fight for an
open river to Eugene, and to this end
invitations have been extended to the
Portland Commercial Club and the Port
land Chamber of Commerce. The sec
retary of the latter organization, E. C.
.Glltner, is chairman of the committee of
nine men from as many counties, ap
pointed for the special purpose of mak
ing an examination of the locks at Ore
gon City, with a view to recommending
either their purchase by the United
States and the State of Oregon or the
construction of new locks on the east
side of the river at Oregon City. This
committee will visit Oregon City Tues
day, one day in advance of the big con
vention. The sentiment at this point in favor
of the construction of new locks, rather
than the purchase of the present locks,
is practically unanimous, and at a meet
ing of the Commercial Club last Fri
day night the members were requested
to point out to the delegates the ad
vantages of a new system Just west of
the basin on the east bank of the Wil
lamette. It is learned that the district
engineer's office at Portland has al
ready drawn plans for a new system of
locks, covering a canal 50 feet In width,
with two locks, each 300 feet long. The
present locks are only 37 feet wide.
