LIVELY SCENE ENACTED Mayor Fawcett Calls Police to Put Out Protesting Workers, Who Ask Court for Restraining Order to Preserve Their Joos. TACOMA. JVash., May 3. (Special.) Tacoma's new commission plan of government went. Into real effect to day, when Mayor A. V. Fawcett and Commissioners Lawson, Woods, free- land and Roys took over the reins of government, replacing- Mayor L,inck and 16 Councilmen. It was a spectacular finish that tae old form of government made, city em ployes, particularly those in the Light Department, going down fighting' for places at the public trough. The old City Council met this morn ing at 10 A. M. and adjourned sine die after President Hawthorne and Coun cilmen Brand and Giblett had de nounced the newspapers, declaring1 that If the old Council had been a fail ure it was the newspapers' fault. The papers did not give the Council credit for a good thing done, Hawthorne said, and had played up all the errors. Commission Sanies Officers. The new commission followed the old Council and organized by electing Mayor Fawcett president and Commis sioner Roys vice-president and Com missioner of Public Safety. When the appointees of the new ad ministration began to seek their Jobs In the City Hall there was trouble, particularly in the Light Department. Before it was over, Mayor Fawcett had to call on police headquarters to oust the obstreperous ones and they re taliated by applying to the Superior Court for a restraining order. The court refused to grant a temporary In junction to keep the old men on their jobs, but did issue an order for Mayor Fawcett to appear at 10 A. M. tomor row and show cause why such an order should not be granted. Kilcy First to liefuse. J. T. Riley, foreman of the city light lines, was first to refuse to give up his keys until ordered to do so by the police. He says be Is under civil serv ice and cannot be let out unless charges are preferred against Him. No resist ance at all, other than verbal protest, was offered when a policeman ap peared and demanded Riley's keys. H. T. Sweet, assistant storekeeper, and Jesse Perrlns, storekeeper in the Light Department, also turned in their keys at the request of the police. The suit in court was brought by Riley, who says other city employes expecting to be ousted are backing him financially and that they purpose to test the civil service clause of the new charter. Mayor Fawcett would make i no comment, except that he proposed to nave his orders obeyed. , FIGHT ON FOR LANDING Protest Made Against Action of Reg ulator Steamboat Line. HOOD RIVER, Or.. May 3. (Special.) Captain W. S. Buchanan of the Open River Transportation Company was in Hood River today to make formal com plaint against the Regulator line of boats, which he charges is endeavor ing to -keep the Teal and other ves sels of the Open River Company from landing at the high water land. He says the Regulator people have placed the big wharfboat, which they recently brought here, in, such a position as to prevent other boats from landing and refuse to allow a line to be passed across. Captain Buchanan says the land where the wharfboat is tied up does not belong to the Regulator Company. The matter has been placed before the Hood River Commercial Club and the Merchants' Association and it is ex pected that those bodies will make a formal protest to the Regulator Com pany against the procedure. As this is the busiest season for the boats, the Open River Company declares it will lose considerable traffic by not being allowed the. privilege of a landing in Hood River.

Four Pacific Coast States Get Fair Returns, Willamette Record ing Heaviest. During the 24 hours ending at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon the reJnfall was un usually heavy for this season of the year, 1,07 inches being recorded. The downpour began shortly after 7 o'clock Monday night and lasted until after 12 o'clock yesterday. While the rainfall was not unusual for any particular hour, it was1 - steady and wound up with a big total. For the sea son to date the deficiency is only .44 of an inch. Showers are predicted for today, with the prevailing winds- from the westward. The barometer is lower over the Rocky Mountain States and high along the coast of California. That the rain which struck Portland was general is reported by the Weather Bu reau. Washington, Idaho, Northern Cali fornia and Nevada are getting a fair por tion of the fall. The heaviest fall, how ever, was received in the Willamette Valley, the fall in the Boise basin being only moderately heavy. As a result of the rain cool weather is reported in Central and Southeastern Washington, Northern and Eastern Ore gon, Southwestern Idaho and Northern Nevada and only slightly cooler in the interior of Northern California.

(Special.) This, section of the state has been visited dur ing the past week by several fine warm rains and as a result farmers, fruitgrow ers, gardeners and stockmen are feeling greatly encouraged regarding the outlook for a prosperous year. The ground has been thoroughly soaked and all crops benefited. The rain has been of especial benefit to Spring-sown wheat and oats, of which there is a great quantity in the Willamette Valley this year. It is estimated that there is more plowed land in Polk and Marion counties this year than ever before, and if the sea son continues favorable the harvest will be an exceptionally large one. Last Win ter was unusually severe and there was a great shortage of Winter and Fall-sown grain. In some Instances Winter oats were frozen out and the ground reseeded in the early Spring. The months of March and April were unusually favorable for farm work and as a result a large ma jority of farmers had finished seeding prior to the recent rains. The rains have been a boon to the stockmen in all parts of Western Oregon. The warm days of the latter part of April dried up a large area of grass, especially on bare hillsides, but Spring rains mean good Summer pasture.

COMMISSION GETS EXPRESS FIGURES Proportion of the Expenses Chargeable to State. Business Sought. STATISTICIAN IS HEARD In His Statement, Harvey Declares Wells-Fargo Concern Earned 65 Per Cent on Investment in " Oregon Last Year. SALEM, Or., May 3. (Special.) "What proportion of the total expenses of the express companies In this state should be charged up to business within the state?" This is the question that occupied the time of the State Railroad Commission in the adjourned hearing held today in the investigation of the rates of the Wells-Fargo Express Com pany, which action was instituted on the Commission's own motion. The Commission called A. Harvey, rate statistician of the Commission. He sub mitted a statement, in which it was shown that the ratio of state business to interstate business, including Borland, for the year ending June 30, 1909, was 30.44; and excluding Portland, 33.79. He said that the company's revenue from business within the state of Oregon last year, sross, was $278,724.78; less express privileges, $113,589.40. The operating revenue, he said, was $165,135.33, less $2168.56, the amount of the taxes paid, leaving a net revenue within the state of $162,968.77. The statement submitted by the statistician explained, therefore, that the ratio of operating expense to the operating revenue, as reported ty the company, was 74 per cent, amounting to $120,596.89, and leaving a net revenue of $42,371.88. Statistician Gives Figures. The statistician's statement continues: "With equipment the value of which is reported as $64,743.22, the company earned last year on purely Intrastate business, without taking into considera tion Oregon's proportion of some $836,000 earned on interstate business, $42,371.88, or over 65 per cent, on the .investment. These earnings average $42.16 per mile In Oregon, and if applied to the entire mileage operated by the company would give earnings of about $2,769,702.65, or less than $500,000 less than the total earnings reported last year. "On this basis it will be seen that the ratio of earnings on purely intrastate business of Oregon nearly equals the ratio of total earnings for the entire mileage operated by the company, both interstate and intrastate." The express company submitted In evi dence a statement by Richard Burr, gen eral auditor of the system, in which the business in Oregon for the months of April and October, 1909, was given In detail. The Intrastate gross earnings for the two months are given at $61,223.72. the expenses chargeable to this branch of the business, $44,454.26, leaving a profit for the two months of $6769.46. - Delivery Cost Shown. A statement was submitted, also, show ing the approximate cost of delivering goods in Oregon. Another statement gave a conmarison of tho nnmiiottnn square mile in Oregon, and in the eight ocALca wim which me commission has compared the express rates with those in force on the Wells-Fargo lines in Ore gon. The- express company was represented by Attorney Wallace McCamant and the witnesses called on behalf of the com pany were Eugene Shelby, general agent for the Western division, and M. V. Ti tus, chief clerk at the Portland offices. They were questioned at length regard ing various phases of the rate inquiry. This week will be devoted by both sides to an examination of the docu mentary evidence submitted, and a fur ther hearing will be held at the offices of Mr. McCamant -in Portland Monday at 2 P. M. At this adjourned hearing it is probable the Commission and the express company will come to an agreement as to what proportion of the expenses should be charged up to state business, and the public hearings will come to an end. After an agreement on this point is reached the Commission will proceed to decide the question as to whether or not the rates charged by the express, com pany are reasonable. CANYON RUSH EXPECTED RAILROAD ACTIVITY SOO TO BE RESUMED IX MALHEUR. Ranchers Still Hold- Out Against Railroads, but Only Question of Damages Remains. VALEL Or.. May 3. (Special.) Railroad activity In Malheur County is to be re sumed by June, say the railroad men now in this city. Engineer Ashton, of the Ore. gon & Eastern, says that more than 200 men workings on the Lewiston branch out of Huntington are to be sent to Vale as soon as their work is completed. Harri man interests are watching closely the movements of the Hill people and it is ex pected that a rush will soon be made for the Malheur canyon. Oregon & Eastern construction work, which, was started in the Vale yards a few weeks ago, is completed. Work had to be stopped, as the company has no right of way from the local yards to a point 10 miles west of this city, and the ranchers of the Malheur Valley are still holding out against the railroad in giv ing the proposed right of way. Engineer Ashton says that it Is likely that there will be no trouble from that source since it is only a question of damages and his company may secure a right to proceed before condemnation proceedings become necessary at the next term of court. He also said that the Oregon & Eastern had clear ground from the mouth of the Mal heur gap West. According to a statement made yester day In this city by Colonel C. E. S. Wood, the Hill people are ready to enter the Malheur gap. "In fact." said Colonel Wood, "we were ready to start construction work on the Boise & Western this week, but as I left Portland on Friday we received word from the Secretary of the Interior that construction work In the canyon would Interfere with the water rights and that all tracks laid would be torn up. We expect no trouble from the Secretary, as the stipulation of the law named, by which our work could be stopped, is out of date. We shall rush men into the ter ritory most any time and we shall start first in the canyon, as we know our line of survey from Vale west. We have- not yet decided upon our connections east from Vale." HIGH SCHOOL IS NEEDED Oregon City to Vote on 940,000 Bond Issue for Building. OREGOX CITY, Or.. May 3. (Spe cial.) It Is proposed by the Oregon City school board to erect a fine high school building in this city this Sum mer and a bond issue of $40,000 will be asked. A special election will be held Tuesday, May 24, from 1 to 4 P. M. It is generally believed there will be no question of obtaining finan cial indorsement from the taxpayers. At the opening of school last year the conditions were such that the board was forcedx to construct a four-room addition to the Eastham building and the high school was moved there from the Barclay building. A chemical and physical laboratory was installed. Even this addition did not solve the prob lem, and two primary grades had to be placed in the Barclay gymnasium, wlu . was never Intended to be used for a school building. The new high school building will probably be located near the center of the residence district. It will be of brick or concrete blocks and will prob ably have 12 rooms and an assembly hall large enough to seat 1000 students. No time will be lost, after the neces sary authorization is obtained. In hav ing the building constructed, so as to have it ready for occupancy soon after the opening of the Fall term next September. RIGHT OF WAY SECURED Jacksonville Citizens Hustle to Get Xevr Railroad. MBDFORD, Or., May 3. (Special.) The town of Jacksonville is evidently intend ing to let no chance of obtaining an up-to-date railroad slip through its fingers. John R. Allen, president of the Pacific & Eastern Railroad, assured the citizens of Jacksonville that if they would obtain a right of way from their city to the Blue Ledge mine, near Hutton. on the California line, he would guarantee to build a line in the near future. Acting on this promise, the- committee appointed by the Jacksonville citizens took the matter up and in three days obtained the right of way for the whole distance, with the exception of the holdings of three property-owners. Great enthusiasm was shown by the property-holders all along the right of way of the proposed railway, as that sec tion of the country has been greatly han dicapped In the past because of the lack of transportation facilities. COOS BAY LINE ASSURED North Bend and Marshfleld Con sider Granting Franchises to Road. MAR3HFIELD, Or., May 3. (Special.) Application for franchises for the Coos Bay Rapid Transit Company are being considered by the City Council of both North Bend and Marshfleld, and the com pany promises to push the building of the road between these towns and have it completed within five months from the time that the franchises are granted. Officers of the Lane County Asset Com pany, which was organized to survey an electric line from Eugene to Coos Bay, were here recently to look over what had been done by the Rapid Transit Company. The fact that Major L. D. Kinney, who promoted the local company, subscribed for a large block of stock In the Eugene company has led to the surmise that pos sibly the local line and the Eugene road are to be merged.
