It Is suspected that If he be not nomi
ne ted he will run as an Independent
candidate at the election In April.
Thompson Is credited with the Busse
backing and with the Influence of part
of tha Ixrlmer crowd, although he de
clares his campaign has hern financed
entirely from Ms own pocket and that
he will not be under obligation to any
faction If nominated and elected. Hmul
skl. besldea enjoying tha favor of the
Ieneen constituency will draw some of
the Lnrlmer strength. Murray and Scully
have a miscellaneous following.
Carter Harrison is enthusiastically
backed by political Interests which were
bitterly hostile to him In tha previous
campaign. The Hearst papera have gone
ever bag and baggage to Harrison. Quo
tations from them rapping the ex-Mayor
and his emulations afford tha most ef
fective campaign ammunition for tha
Graham crowd. "Bobbv" Burke, who be
came estranged from Harrison and could
see nothing good in him cr his. Is back
In line.
Graham will em-lng nearly the whole of
the Roger C. Sullivan Intluenre and tha
major strength of tha party organiza
tion. How many votes these affiliations
will alienate Is problematical. Dunne
baa tha advanced municipal ownership
contingent behind him. He may split
the vote evenly enough with Harrison
to let Graham slip In between, fortified
as that gentleman la with a compact or
ganisation and plenty of campaign
funds.
Cheaper gas Is one of the main Issues
put forth by three or four of the candi
date, but Carter Harrison appropriated
the slogan early enough to be known as
the "original 7o-eent gas advocate." A
reduction of the price of gas from M
cents to TO cents would affect sW.OoO
consumers and amount to an aggregate
saving of 4..M a year.
As a rule the Republican candidates
for ths nomlnstlon have refrained from
assailing their party rivals. On tha
other hand, tha Democratio candidates
have gone aflar one another with ham
mer and tongs. Dunne dally arraigns
Harrison for sundry alleged shortcom
ings. Harrison comas back without
mincing words. Both return "true bills"
against Oraham. charging him with be
ing the stalking-horse of corporate in
terests, especially of the people who sell
gas to tha city.
The next four years will sea something
like I3"0.nc.0 spent for municipal pur
poses. Good starts at least will be made
on the construction of an adequate outer
harbor extending Into the lake, a high
pressure water system and a system of
passenger subwsys. To meet thess
problems Intelligently and efficiently re
quires real constructive statesmanship.
Tha beet political Joke of the eeason
was perpetrated when the petition of
"Charge" C'asioniwaa tiled as a candi
date for the Republican nomlnstlon for
ilsyor. The document was turned in two
minutes before midnight of the last day
for. tr.t procedure and It entitled the
petitioner to the lsst place on the ticket,
w hich la regarded only second to the first
place In the advantage It givea the candi

who serves chops and ale to the mem

how It happened.
"I sure don't know, boas' wss the
answer. "I hain't done filed no petition
and I don't reckon I want to be Mayor
nohow."
The mystery with which Caston en
shrouded his own entry Into the pomieal

friend" who pushed Charlie Into fame
or to dlselcess the motive therefor. The
negro withdrew the petition with much
solemn ceremony the next day and that
left John P. Smulskl In ths coveted lsst

M1IS BLOWN TO
PIECES; MYSTERY
Grewsbme Find in Woods Near
Lents Thought Body of
George Golier.
POLICE SCOUT SUICIDE
Victim Found After Search Sinte?
Thursday lack of Large Bits of
of Body at Scene lnds Color to
Murder Theory Sara Slorer.
Bits of. human flash, none larger than
strips a few Inches long, shreds of cloth
ing, one shoe and other evidences of a
terrible explosion extending for a radius
of eO feet around a Jagged bole In the
earth were found by a party of search
ers near lesnta last night and tell the
mute story of a tragedy which resulted
In the death at 7:3 o'eloek Thursday
night of a man believed to be George
Collar, who was living by himself on a
five-acre tract near Gates Crossing.
That Goller went Into the woods back
of bis house, placed a quantity of explo
sive on a stump and deliberately end'.d
his life In this grewsoaie manner is one
theory which Is advanced for the tragedy.
Bplce la added to the mystery by tha
fact that around Lents there Is a rumor
which, however, could last night be
traced to no definite source, that lately
another bachelor had been living with
Goller and that thla man has now dls
appeaxed. Explosion Mystery Cleared.
Since Thursday nlcht the detonation
caused by the explosion had been an ab
solute mvstery to the many hundreds of
psrsons living In the vicinity who heard
It. This mystery was cleared up last
night by a searching party consisting
of M. J. Krister, Charles Buchanan, K.
M. Kflster and O. C. Rainey, who found
the charred fragments ot a numan oo.,
Bboiit 1300. yards to ths rear of the Golier
house. .... 1.4
Ths searchers returned last night
with the detslla of the awful death in
the wood. Goller had gone, or been
taken, to a point about 1.00 yards to
tha rear of hia house onto the land
of a man named Redding. Hera, with
in' .00 feet of the Redding home, the
explosion had occurred, shaking dishes
from the tables in the Rodding home,
breaking windows In the house and
frightening the occupants, who, how
ever, were unable to locate the source
of the explosion.
Flesh Torn to Bits.
A Jagged hole was found in the earth,
about three feet long, two feet wide
and from 1 to JO Inches deep. Thl
was on the east aids of a large fir
stump. For a radius of 40 feet were
found sn-All bits of flesh, the frag
ments of clothing and other evidences
of a tragedy, but no one piece of a
human body which was large enouKu
to be seen without the aid of a flash
light. Goller, who had lived much the lira
of a hermit, was found to be missing
yesterday morning and this It nan which
caused the search for him yesterday.
Neighbors, calling St the house, found
the door open, copies of the Issues of
dailv papers since Wednesday lying un
touched and a number of chickens, al
most dead from lack of food and water.
No trace of the owner could be found.
Then, rememberinc the strange explo
sion, a second search was Instituted by
M. J. Kflster and a party of others living
In the Mount Scott district.
At the Redding home the explosion was
sgain detailed and Mr. Redding told that
he was rating his dinner in the evening
when he heard the nearby crash. The
sesrehers were thus sssured that they
wore near the scene and found the evi
dences after dark last night.
Polk-o Hold Murder Theory.
A theory f murder, upon which the
police are already working, was ad
vanced last night by Tolice Captain
Blover. of the second night relief. Cap
tain Blover, who Is himself an old min
ing roan, declares that the explosion
could not have been of such force aa
entirely to destroy the body without
having wreaked far greater havoc In the
Immediate vicinity of the explosive than
It did. He la of the opinion that some
one removed all the larger pieces and
carried them away In a basket, leaving
only such portions as could not be found
in tbe dsrkness.
The main fact which lends credence
to tha theory that It was not an accident
Is that, as far as can bs learned, clear
ing of land wss rot going on in the
Immediate vicinity of the spot where the
explosion occurred. There are many
people, af work grubbing land, however.
In the neighborhood of Gates Crossing
and Wilson Station.
John Ielden, who lives near Gates
Crossing, said last night that Qolier
told him last Fall that he would take
his own life unless he became cured
of chronic rheumatism.
On the night of the explosion Pa
trolman Roberts, of the local police de
partment, who has a beat in the Mount
Scott district, reported to the station
that he had been deluged with In
quiries from people on his beat as to
the nature of -the commotion. The
Mount Scott people. Roberts said, be
lieved that an earthquake had v taken
place. The Jar waa distinctly felt In
that section of the elty.
Coroner Norden will today send a man
to Lents to make a full investigation.
ALASKA HAS BIG HANDICAP
Country Tied Vp by Conservatory,
Kays 1. S.' Kain.
"I have nothing to sell I only want
Alaska to get a square deal."
This Is tha plea echoed by Dan S.
Kaln. a Portland man who has spent
the last 12 years In Alaska, and 1 In
the city on a short business trip. He
Is stsylng at the Perkins.
"I went to Alaska In 1898." said Mr.
Kain yesterday, "and spent most of my
time until, a year ago in the Interior.
A year ago I located at Valdex. The
conservation policy of the Government
has tied up everything- In Alaska. It
Is an outrage. I know everyone towl
his back when we mention the Morgan
Guggenheim Interests, but It Is only
great corporations that can develop
Alaska, so loe)g as the Government
doesn't do It. That concern has spent
$20,000,000 In building the most expen
sive railroad In the world and It is not
yet completed. It was compelled to
pay stumpage for the scraggly, dead
timber for tlea and must bring Its coal
from the Canadian fields, while an
abundance .of fuel lies at its door. The
timber, such as It Is. is In forest re
serves, and the ' lid is clapped down
tight on the coal landa.
"If this conservation policy repre
sents public sentiment, the public has
been misinformed or does not under
stand the situation In Alaska. I was
one of the locators of the Guggenheim
group of mines. We could do nothing
with the property ourselves and sold
out to a corporation with millions,
that could develop It.- The Guggen
hclms planned to establish a smelter
at the mines and ship the refined metal
to the United States. Now they must
carry coal to run their railroad and
take' the raw ore to their smelters In
the United States. The Government's
revenue cutters buy coal from Cana
dian mines, the same as Individuals
and corporations. So we have this
situation: Boats are going to Alaska
loaded with coal and returning to this
country with raw ore, when they
should he going to Alaska with ma
chinery for development and returning
with the refined and . manufactured
products.
"We have 40.000 to 54,000 of the bast
American citizens to be found any
where. In Alaska, yet we have no voice
in our government. Alaska is the only
self-supporting territory this Govern
ment has had. but we have nothing to
say as to how the revenue frora our
resources shall be expended. We can
not say that a certain portion shall be
applied to road building, or expended
along certain lines of development.
The Government has locked up Alaska
and vet Its own expert says the coal
In Alaska could not be mined out in
10,000 years.
TRAVEL TEDIOUS IN CITY
Part of Xw York Harder to Reach
Than Philadelphia,
XETW TORK, Feb. it. (Special.)
Every Winter resident of City Island,
and they number about S00. has signed
a petition which has been presented to
the Publlo Service Commission, asking
for better tranaportatlon service.
City Island is a part of the Borough
of the Bronx. Jt la only 15 miles from
the City Hall, but In traveling time It Is
further away than Philadelphia, W
miles away. Here Is what a City Island
man has to do If he wants to go Jown
town:
First he takes a horsecar from his
home to the City Island bridge. The
cars are older than Horace Greeley, and
the horses are older than the cars.
These antique arks are supposed to
connect with a monorail road that runs
to Bartow, two milea away. Half tha
time the horses are too tired to make the
trip. When they do, the passengers
usually find that the monorail, whica
Borough president Miller calls a scenit
railroad, has been put out of business
by an auto bumping Into It. But In the
course' of time the travelers reach
Bartow.
There they board a branch line train
on the Now Haven Railroad. These
run once an hour during the "rush
hours." and finally land the unfortu
nates at Port Morris. There is a shuttle
goes across the river to the Third
avenue "I" and If nothing else happens
the Citv Islanders are landed down
town. The entire trip takes from two
hours (a record) to live hours.
There Is another route, but It Is re
garded as Inconvenient. That Is to
walk from City Island to West Farms,
a distance of 12 miles, and -take the
Subway. The time Is about the same,
but the roads are bad. which Is why
more men do not take ft-
SCHOOL LAW HIDES TRICK
Plan to Evade Taxation Found In
neviscd Xew York Statute.
NEW TORK. Feb. 2S. When the school
district laws were revised last year, there
was no objection made by taxpayers, but
It now develops that there was a large
slxed negro In the educational woodpile.
Under the law It Is possible for any
50 residents within any square mile to
Incorporate as a village. Also, any
three adjoining villages are authorized.
If they see fit, to withdraw from their
school district, and form a new one of
their own. And here Is how It works
out.
Port Washington, on the north shore
of Long Island, includes within its lim.
Its Sands Point, the residence of many
millionaires. These people do not use
the village schools, hut they are taxed
to pay for them. Now they are pre
paring; to organize the village of Sands
Point, and the understanding is that
the two other needed villages will be
carved out with very little delay. After
which the new school district is only
a question of time.
The Sands Point residents will be
compelled to establish a school, but it
Is possible for. them to mske It only a
makeshift, with, say, one teacher and
a dally attendance of two children of
servants. Port Washington residents
are fighting as hard as they know
how, but lawyers tell them that their
efforts are hopeless.
CARETAKERS STRIP HOME
Inlaid Floor Saved Only by Suspi
cions of Police.
NEW TORK, Feb. 26. (Special.)
Persons who employ caretakers should
occasionally keep tab on them. This
fact has been brought home to Henry
Holt, the publisher, who owns a beauti
ful Summer home at New Rochelle.
The suspicions of Chief of Police
Tlmmons of that town were aroused
wben he noticed that the caretakers,
father and son. were as he expressed
it. "rioting in luxury." Ha investigated
and ascertained that the couple had
made a clean Job of It.
The only article of furniture left In
the place was a heavy piano. Paintings,
rugs, books and bric-a-brac had gone
with the weightier pieces. The plumb
ing and brass work had been ripped out,
and a collection of carriages, sleighs,
rugs, and even a load of hay had been
taken from the stable. The men con
fessed that If they had been left alone
for a few days more they had intended
to tear up the inlaid floors, which have
a market value. Some of the property
has been recovered, but Mr.' Holt esti
mates his lose at Jli.OCO.
HATPIN WEARER PUNISHED
Vienna Judge Says Wide Briius
Themselves Are Sfenace.
VIENNA. Feb. 26. (Special.) A man
named Richard Engelmenn. who was
walking quietly along a much-frequented
street In the center of Vienna,
was Injured by the projecting point of
the hotpin worn by a girl named Epp
stein. His nose wss slightly scratched.
The man Immediately seized the girl by
the arm. led her to the next policeman,
and gave her In charge.
Tha case came before the magistrate
the following day. The girt appeared in
court wearing the hat with the offend
ing pin. the poinrof which was, however,
protected. The girl pointed out that
the hatpin did not project beyond the
brim, but the maistrate said that a
brim that" projected so far from the head
wss In Itself a danger to passersby. He
added that evary woman who wore a
hatpin dangerous to her follow-cltlsens
would not feel the rigor of the law. The
girl was sentenced to a fine of 37
cents or l'i hours' arrest. She gave no
tice of appeal.

WHISTLES TO BLOW
Noises at Noon, March 1, Re
minder to Write East
CONCERTED ACTION URGED
With Flood of Invitations to Visit
Oregon Sent Out Colonist Day,
Great Influx of Settlers Will
Come, Is Belief. (
Whistles will blow and bells rlngr all
over' Portland between noon and 12:0C
P. II. on March 1 as a reminder to the
citizens of Portland to sit right down
and write a letter to some friend In
the East, Inviting him or her to come
out to Oregon and visit.
It will be "Colonist day," and It is
being planned to have It observed gen
erally throughout the state. Mayor
Simon will be called upon today or to
morrow with a request that he Issue a
proclamation for the blowing of whis
tles and ringing of bells at the noon
hour on March 1.
"If 100.000 of the 800.0000 persons
In Oregon will send out Invitations to
their friends in the Kast," said C. C.
Chapman, of the Commercial Club, "it
will be the most effective p4ece of ad
vertising ever accomplished. It will
place the word 'Oregon' In 100.000
homes In the East."
Action to Be Concerted.
Tha work of bringing colonists to
Oregon Is being- carried out with es
pecial seal by the commercial bodies
and the railroads working in harmony.
It Is believed that the richest harvest
of settlers ever secured by Oregon will
come here In 1911. especially during
the term on the colonist rates. With
theso rates soon effective Manager
Chapman, of the Commercial Club, is
making an appeal for concerted action
on March 1. which Is Just long enough
before the rates become effective for
the recipients of the invitations to
make arrangements and come to Ore
gon for a small railroad fare.
Not only will the good work of serv
ing as a reminder of advertising Ore
gon by this method be left to the whis
tles and bells, but the subject will be
brought up at the 'arious lodges and
meetings In Portland on or about that
date, that Oregon may literally swamp
the East under a flood' of measures of
fering a hearty welcome. The Board
of Education will be asked to Instruct
the teachers to have the children write
letters East and to speak of It to their
parents; placards will be placed in ho
tels and stores; factory heads will tell
their workmen about the movement
all that Oregon may have a great In
flux ef visitors this Spring, who, com
ing to see, will stay to live.
Railroads Seek Oregon's Growth.
William McMurray, general passen
ger agent of the Harriman line, is an
enthusiastic advocate of the plan. He
said:
. "Tha Idea Is good and should be
furthered. The railroads have put a
rate so low that there Is no money In
It, but It Is being made with, the Idea
that Oregon should be built up. as It
Is certain that many of the visitors
will come, back to this wonderful state
to live after having seen the oppor
tunities." W. E. Coman. general passenger

Benton County Frttltnion Combine.
CORVALLIS. Or.. Feb. 26. (Special.)
At a meeting of the Benton County
fruitgrowers in the Commercial Club
rooms, plans were made for an asso
ciation similar to the Hood River com
bination, and a committee was ap
pointed to draw up articles of Incorpo
ration. This is the first movement
made by fruit men of this part of the
valley toward organization, and It was
brought about by the unstable condi
tion of the market and the refusal of
numerous small growers and farmers
to comply with the requirements of the
Insecticide law. It was shown that
while Benton County growers were
getting only 50 and 75 cents a box for
choice a.pples. Linn County was get
ting 11.75 and upwards for the same
quality.
