agatne the purchase of the local water
plant, some others of the South Beat
fMe believe that the only way to get
Bull Run water soon la by the purchase)
of all the local water planta to be fol
lowed by turning Bull Run water In the
mama. Ttla. it Is urged, would facilitate
a water supply, and prevent a long wait
for Bull Run water.
This waa the opinion expressed yester
day by Ben Rlealand. president of the
Peven'.h Ward Improvement League,
among others Mr. Rleeland said that he
would not favor paying an exhorbitant
price for the plants. There la growing
apprehension that unless the Water
Board beglra laying mains very soon
there will again be ar shortage In tths

Scott. However. It 1 pointed, out that
even If the large main are laid to theae

After Ten Months' Experience With

TACOMA. Wash.. Feb. l-FpeHal.
-lgned by JTOO voters, many of thm
women, the petition demanding the recall
of Mayor A. V. Fawcett Tacoma's first
Mayor under the comnliilon plan of
government 1 now on file In the office
of the city rferk. The commission plan
charter allows the clerk 10 day to check
over the name on thia petition to as
certain if each aiitner la a registered
voter and to certify the patltlon to the
municipal commission In legislative aea
alon. The commission I then compelled to
order a recall election to take place
In not lesa than 34 nor more than 40
days from that date. Baaed on the
vote cast for Mayor at the city elec
tion laet April only 1100 name are
necesaary to recall, so that It la a cer
tainty more than enough regularly ree
ntered are on the petition and that
wtthln 3 days from February 17 Ta
coma will again vote for Mayor.
One Kacaping; Recall.
With formal rhargea of Incompetency,
extravagance and general unfitness to
bold office on file with the city clerk
against them, recall petitions are also
now out for the four Commissioners,
who. with the Mayor, combine tbe ex
ectntlve and legislative functions of the
city's government. Of the six elective
city officials under the commission plan,
only one. rity Controller John F. Meade,
in M-nmng recall. And Tacoma has had
19 months' experience with Us commis
sion p.an.
Mayor Fawrett's case presents the pe
culiar situation of both the so-called
"reform" element and the saloon ele
ment lined up against him. Fawcett has
been warring on the saloons for some
time, via hia antl-treating ordinance
which la to be voted on by tbe people at
a referendum election March tl. and
via Els o'clock saloon dosing ordi
nance which went down to defeat, two
votes to three, at the commission aes
slori Wednesday.
The Mayor asserta that the Royal
Arrh Is behind the movement to recall
Mm and la fighting him tooth and nail,
lie asserts hts life haa been threatened
and that the RoeJ Arch Is behind the
threats: saya his wife bas been fright
ened by strange men lurking around
Ms house and openly asserta that on
three occasions liuu waa offered to
hare him killed, although be doea not
auy who offered the ISOuO.
Mayor's Political Mar Wanes.
Early In the game Mayor Fawcett as
pired to be Governor of the state, ffome
linw his political star seemed to be wan
ing, however, and he abandoned theae
ambitions late last Fall about the same
time he began to be distasteful to busl
nes men because of the continual war
waxed In the commission between nlm
e.lf and Commlasionar of Public Safety
1. W. Roys: hia fight on the street rall
it company and various other enter
prises In which he engaged Whatever
may have been the cauae of the waning
star, the Mayor sprang the antl-treatlng
ordinance and the saloon men at once
started referendum petitions and had no
tnuble getting enough signers. Then
followed recall petllons fathered br M.
B. Stamhaugh. grain dealer and ex
Councilman under the old plan of gov
ernment. .
The Mayor haa said that Stembeujrh
la acting for the Royal Arch which la
denied by both Ftambaugh and the sa
loon men. the Utter In an affidavit
sworn to by "BUI'' Armstrong, president
ef the local Royal Arch.
Then came the day of the Lester
Martin prizefight and that Freelend res
olution, stopping It after hundreds of
. at rangers had come to Tacoma to see
the bout, resulted In the Fawcett re
call petition being signed up In a rush,
more than the necessary number of vot
ers being secured with no difficulty.
Denounced by the reform element at toe
church meeting and fought also by the
saloon men. the Mayor flnda both lib
eral and conservative elementa lined up
against him. He aays he expects votes
to begin swinging back his way aa soon
as a mn Is put forward to oppose him,
however.
Mayor Acta on Inn Bar.
On Wednesday a conference of
a number of business men was pri
vately called at the Tacoma Hotel by
J-hn Berkshire, manager of the Olym
pus Inn. another leading hotel. It was
planned to talk over prospective Mayor
alty timber and get out a good man to
run against Fawcett. The very next
, morning at the municipal commission
session the Mayor put through a resolu
tion Instructing the police to dose the
-service bar" at the Olympus or com
pel Berkshire to take out two Ucenaea
for the hotel. The Mayor's friends do
not deny that the measure was a rap
at Berkshire.
So general la the recall aentlment that
close friends of each of the four Com
missioners admit enough signatures will
be obtained In the 10 days allowed to
secure the recall of each man. All four
will stand for re-election again. Who
will oppose them la not known. There
are any number of willing berklses as
the Commtsalonershlps pay tio per
month each and "pull' and the Mayor
alty HO. In the case of the' Mayor.
ex-Judge W. H. Snell haa been much
talked of but emphatically refuses to be
a candidate. Louis W. Pratt, now of the
National Realty Company, former news.
TKperman and editorial wrtter on tbe
Chicago Tribune and. later, secretary
of the Taooma Chamber of Commerce
Is being groomed by some of hia friends
but has not given hia oonsent. Charles
Irory and several other members of the
committee of fifteen, among them Chair
man Frank A. MagllU would not refuse
were one of the civic positions 'forced"
upon them.
The church mass meeting and the
committee of fifteen had planned to have
the recall election for the four Commis
sioners come at the same time as the
Fawce.t recall election. This will not
be possible, however. The Mayoralty
recall election will come about April 1
and the Commissioner election the latter
part of April or May 1.

Rvery soliciting committee now can
vassing for the fund being subscribed to
entertain tbe grand lodge of Hka In
Portland In 1813 Is expected to make a
complete report of subscriptions to Treas
urer Van Bchuyver tonight, and. at the
very latest, tomorrow morning. It Is the
desire of the general committee to make
as complete a report as pceibh in ordsr
to see Just how much la etUl needed. If
the entire amount has not been sub
scribed. "I am thoroughly convinced that the
entire amount asked will be forthcom
ing, but the delay of some committees
In reporting bas caused a laxity In work
of othera." amid Oorge L. Hutchln. of
the general committee, laat night, "and
If all the bo ye will report we will know
Just where we are and be able to plan
accordingly. I am satisfied that Port
land wants the convention, end that ths
business) men have subscribed liberally,
but just now some outstanding com
mittees have us guessing aa to how much
money hae been subscribed because they
have not taksn the time to report to ths
treasurer.
"We are out to get the grand lodge
v .mi mr .nln. to ret it. Already
more than fXVO Is acknowledged, which
Includes ths ns. given by ths Portland
lodge itself, and If ths other committees,
which are over half the number sent out,
will only report progress. I am satisfied
that we now have at leaat kS0.M0 or tSO.OOO
already subscribed. No committee has
filed a complete canvass of Its district,
which satlsfles me that the entire amount
will be forthcoming. I hope that all the
committees will, at least, make partial
reports tonight."
At the Elks Club yesterday everyone
was enthusiastic, over tbe campaign, and
a number of the canvassers who had
failed to make report said they had not
understood the Idea, or had not had time
to see the treasurer during his office
hours. Many of these committeemen re
ported csjeially that they had received
fine contributions and that they would
ei. ..hi.i H -t mt lAjKt- eoma time to
day. This means that the treasurer
ought to receive a most flattering amount
to add to the total he has already ac
knowledged.

PRESS CLUB PLANS JINKS
Opening; of Big- Quarters Wednesday
to Be Gala Event.
The Portland Press dub met yester
day afternoon to make final arrange
ment for the big Jinks, whloh will be
held In the club rooms Wedneaday night.
The Jli ka will serve a double purpose.
It will be the formal opening of the new
club In the Elks' building and a com
memoration of Washington's Birthday.
Invitations to 1000 are now In the malls,
and It will be the biggest Preaa Club
reception ever given In the Northwest.
There will be plenty of good things to
eat, plenty of good .drinks to wash the
eata down, plenty of music, plenty of
oratory, plenty of atage stunts, plenty
of fun, but under no circumstances will
a dress suit be tolerated. As the wear
ing of extreme formal toggery Is the
only crime that will be prohlb'ted at
the Jinks, any one who appears in the
rooms In full dress will ,iv his clothes
removed by force. If nee'essary, and be
compelled to spend the evening stalk
ing around In a gunny sack.
PROBLEM CONFRONTS BEND
New Law Prohibits Disposal of Sew
age In Deschutes River.
Dr. Calvin B. White, secretary' of the
State Board cf Health, accompanied by
Dr. Eugene Cole. Mayor of Bend, will
leave Portland Wednesday to inspect the
ground In and around Bend with a view
of providing some plan for the disposal
or the town'o sewage. This Is due to
the passage of the law by the State
Legislature prohibiting the use of the
Deschutes River for such purposes.
"I regard this law." said Dr. White,
"a one of the best adopted by the
. r0-tlfiini Th Desahutee is
soon to become one of the great at
tractlone of the country. No river sur-
In Its nurltv of
Its water, which la said to be 98 per
cent pure. From a scenic standpoint as
well as for fishing it cannot be sur
passed. Prineville empties Its sewage into
the Crooked River, so the town of Bend Is
the only one now that will be affected
by the new law.
"There is a great deal in getting a
j in nw country and if we
can get the towns to use septic tanks
we will have started the citizens upon
the modern way of handling this prob
lem I look forward to the development
of these plans of Central Oregon as being
the most Important event in the history
of the Ttate It will be a big thing for
Portland." -
