Business.
ACHIEVEMENTS ARE LARGE
Offk-ial Will Kol on Laurels or
Trrra la Whli h SUI of Turmoil
la Clslc Affair Is Abollrttrd
and Mot-h Vork Is Poor.
Mayor lmon announced yesterday
that he will not be a candidate for re-
lection, and he i therefore elimi
nated from the possibilities . In the
coming primaries and general city elec
tion. In ma Vina; hit announcement, the
Vxyor declares that he cannot afford to
devote more than two years to public
office at tMa time, aa h says he must
soon five attention to his private busl
re. whlih he left to assume the
duties of the executive position July 1.
He will, therefore, return to the
practice of law with his firm. lvlph.
Mallory. Simon lieartn. July 1 of this
year.
"I have de.-ided." ald Mayor Simon,
"not to enter the race for the position
whlrh 1 now hold. I have been Im
portuned by a large number- of peo
ple In every walk of life to allow my
nuii to go before the people In the
May primaries, but. after giving It
considerable thought within the past
few days. 1 have made up my mind
that I cannot afford to serve another
trm and lave my private business to
suffer In consequence- I consented to
b. a candidate two years because
ef very argent requests from friends,
who assured me my servlres were
needd at that time. I left my law
practice and other "Affairs to assume the
lull's and burdens of public life. Now,
1 feeU I must return to private life
and give attention to my own business
again.
Work Is rirasant.
When I entered this office I did not
think I would like the work at all. but
1 have found a good many pleasant
features connected with It. I hare
really enjoyed the work a good deal,
for It has given ma an opportunity to
do some things for tha city that I be
lieve are -appreciated by the people.
1 have formed some very pleasant
friendships, and altogether. I feel, the
time has been well spent. I would like
to finish, op some things that have been
started during the term, but large
proecta require much time and neces
sarily I will not be able to complete
everything that haa been commenced."
Mayor Simon has taken a deep In
terna In the Broadway bridge, and has
done everything ha possibly could to
further the work. Speaking of this
subject, be said:
"I had hoped to have the Broadway
brtilge built or nearly built by the ex
plratlon of my term. It Is unfortunate
for the people that so much litigation
and so many obstructions have been
brought to play on this Important
project. That It will be built there Is
no doubt. 1 have used everymeans at
my command to facilitate It."
Mayor Simon's administration has
been characterised throughout by thor
ough business methods. Insofar as the
adherence to charter provisions will
permit of such. It has been a Tery
Mire regime, and when he leaves of-fl.-e
nest July he will have accom
plished a great many things that make
for the upbuilding of the city.
C ttaxMt and Turmoil found.
Succeeding to the office at the close
of four ears of turmolL during which
time rr. Harry I-ane was Mayor, ex
FWoator Firnoo found himself con
fronted wtlh many vexatious problems.
The Brooklyn sewer was finished, but
had ben rejected after m long wrangle,
the old Executive Board having found
a!lead flawa In Its construction. The
reinforced concrete bridge across Sul
livan's Gulch on East Twenty-eighth
street was la the same condition: it
had been Improperly built and was
rloeed to traffic shutting oft a large
district from Its t.e-
There was no crematory worthy of
the name. Mayor Lane and the City
found! having apent years fighting
trer a location and nothing was dne.
Hard-surfaced streets were rot spe
cially favored -by the administration
and little progresa was being made
toward giving the city fine streets.
There was little system or order any
where. The police department was virtually
dUrurted throuah the operation, of a
walled "moral nn": the fire de
partment was similarly situated be
cause of the strenuous efforts Lane
end hl fire committee made to un
horse Chief Campbell, and ttrere was a
general torn-up state of affairs, which
fallowed closely upon the resignation
of a number of tiie members of the
Executive Board over quarrels with
Jr. Lane. There were miles of bad
curbs and sldewsiks laid, according to
Ir. Lane's own statement, and he had
his City Engineer "on the carpet" nu
merous times, without results.
(Garbage Problem Solved. ,
Mayor Simon took a firm hand when
ha assumed tha duties of tha office,
and tha sexond day of bis term ha In
spected the crematory site at Guild's
Lake, where for years tons of garbage
r,a4 been dumped and was menacing
tne health of the entire city. Without
hesitating, ha announced that the ad
ministration would build a modern
erematory on the city property there,
and today a tJ.u structure stands
beside the old and worn-out one. It
villi probably be tn thorough running
order for early thia Summer. It was
the Intention of the Mayor to build a
similar -wiant on the East Side, to In
stall a complete garbage-collecting ays-
tern and to place i'orliand on a modern
plane In thia respect
Mavor Simon next attacked the par
Ing trust, which bad been exacting as
high as I5.4 a square yard ior as
pnalt and bttulithn-. and arbitrarily
cut the price of these materials down
to fl.85 a square yard, at which lv
r -r.es of hard-surfaced streets have
sines been laid. Portland Is now ac
Vnoaledged to have first-class streets
over a large portion fits area, with
about 75 miles mora to be laid this
aeasvn already awarded or soon to be
awarded. The saving to property own
ers as a result of the cut In prices has
been Immense.
Order was brought out of chaos In
the police and fire departments, and
both were placed on a high baats of
effectiveness. System was established
to the City Engineer's department, so
that millions of dollars' worth of street
irr pro entente, sewers and all claases
of work have been done.

ffordtng relief to the great aisirin
which it was designed to serve. The
rejected East 'I wenty-elghth-street
bridge was also ordered repaired ana
has long been open to the public.
Mayor Simon appointed a water
Board, with special intention of con
structing the second pipeline to Bull
Run River, to augment the clty'e water
upply. It was one of the greatest
projects mapped out. and will be com
pleted before the end of this year. With
It there will be a set of large reser
voirs for storage purposes, and there
are now being laid, or are ordered laid,
many miles of mains, the principal ac
tivity In this line being directed to
districts where there has been for many
years a scarcity of water, especially in
the Summer months.
Various sections of the city testify to
the excellent work of the Park Board,
under the direction of Mayor Simon.
The first children's playgrounds in tne
city hare been Installed. They are lo
cated at Sell wood. City Park. Peninsula
and in the North Park way. In the
renter of the city. Soma large park
tracts have been purchased also, and
great Improvements have been ex
ecuted In nearly all of them. Of tha
playgrounds, the Mayor Is especially
proud, for from tha first he took a deep
interest In furnishing placea for the
youth of the city to- find recreation. L.
H. Weir, a noted park expert now In
the city from tha East, declared, after
viewing the playgrounds here, that they
rank very high. .
Harbor Is Cleaned l'p.
Tha Mayor haa also backed Harbor
master Speier In cleaning up the water
front. When ha took office, both sides
of the river were lined with aoowdwell
ers who had refused to move out, al
though being a grave menace to the
harbor. They were compelled-to leave
and take their scows with them. A ftne
system of harbor police, with a modern
launch, has been Installed.
A steel fire boat Is soon tn be built.
as the administration haa employed a
marine architects, who Is now engaged
in drswlng plans. A system of rein
forcing msins will also be Installed In
the riverfront and downtown business
districts for fire protection.
Sewer Pipe Trust Broken.
The Kawt home-avenue bridge has been
completed and Mayor Simon haa an
nounced that tha administration will
penalise the two contractors on this Job
the full amounts provided In. the con
tract for failure to finish tha work on
riimf. This is a new departure, as pre
ceding administration have always
found sn excuse for delays of this nature.
Mayor Simon was instrumental in
breaking the grip jf the sewer pipe com
bine, and througT his efforts glased ce
ment pipe Is now being used here. He
also, by this means, secured a material
r.l,,.-tlon in th. i,rlce of the truat-mada
product, terra rotta.
From the outset the Mayor oppoeea
extravagance and opioaed unnecessary
expenditure of public funds and worked
diligently to keep well within the bounds
of economy. He has always opposed
bond Issues, and especially tha ti. 000, 000
Issue voted for public docks, believing
that It Is not sound policy to go Into
competition with private ownership In
thia respect. He nevertheless appointed
a municipal docks commissron, composed
of enthusiastic supporters of the move
ment, titer the people expressed their
mleh.
There have been no Internal dissen
sions In the "Simon family," as during
the entire terra not one resignation
from a board or commission, appointed
by him, has been handed In and Indica
tions point to the continued plesant re
latione until July I. when a new admin
istration will be Inaugurated.
COUNTY PUTS IN CLAIM
Bonding Company Aked for $4 ISO
for Courthouse Contract Mix.
Because the Washington Finishing
Company failed to carry out Ita con
tract to Install the finishings in the
east wing of the new Courthouse the
County Court has filed a claim of $4450
against the Fidelity at Deposit Surety
Company, an Laslern concern with a
Portland representative, which supplied
the bond for the defaulting firm. This
amount is alleged to be due the county
as damages because of the failure of
the contracting company to go ahead
with Its contract.
Judge Kavanaugh sustained the de
murrer to a writ of petition for man
damus proceedings sgalnst the county
yesterday. The proceedings grew out
of the muddle over the contract for
the west wing of the new Courthouse,
the County Court having rejected it,
partly because of Irregularities and
partly because It was found necessary
to change the plana and specifications
of the proposed wing.

Werlcln Gives Platform.
"Responsive to tne requests of friends
from all parts of the city. I have de
cided to be a candidate for the nom
ination of Mayor in the Republican
primaries." said City Treasurer Wer
lcln. "It wllljae my purpose to hold
meetings in every precinct In the city
and tell the people frankly what they
may expect of me should I be nominat
ed and elected. Our system of munici
pal government Is entirely too cumber
some and one of my purposes. If elected,
will be to simplify that system. The
people may expect from me a conserva
tive and orderly administration, wnn
my every official act governed by the
right, as. I see It.. There will be noth
ing sensational in my proposed refor
mation of the system by which tne
business of the city Is now transacted.
I will conduct the office of Mayor In
the same manner as to efficiency and
In the interest of the people of Port
land aa I have the treasury depart

first among the Republican candidates to
file notice of his candidacy. He said
last night that he might make his for
mal declaration today, although he was
In no particular haste to comply with
thia provision of the primary law.
Rushlight Denies Alliance.
"I shall be a candidate for the Re
publican nomination, regardless of what
other candidates may enter the contest,"
said Mr. Rushlight "I had intended be
ing a candidate regardless of whether
or not Mayor- Simon sought' renomina
tion. There Is no truth in the report
that I have formed an alliance of any
kind with Dr. Lane or any other per
son. I am entering) this fight entirely
on my merits. If nominated and elected
I shall give to the administration of the
city government the experience I have
acquired as a business man of tills city
for 17 years snd ss a member of the
City Council for six years. I am mak
ing a dally canvass of the city, meeting
the voters and expect not only to be
nominated but also elected."
"The probability Is that I shall be a
candidate," said Councilman Lombard,
when apprised that Mayor Simon had
announced bis retirement aa a possible
candidate. "I have not given the sub
ject much thought, however, expecting
that Mayor Slmen would seek re-election."
I.lghtner to Decide Today.
"It Is altogether probable that I shall
be a candidate In the Republican pri
maries." said County Commissioner
Lightner. when he had learned of Mayor
Slmon'a action. "I will not decide) the
matter finally, however, until tomor
row." "I do not expect to be a candidate to
succeed Mayor Simon." was the response
of Councilman Cellars. He refused on
further questioning to say that vha
would not be a candidate.
The retirement of Mayor Simon aa a
candidate while clearing up the situa
tion aa to the Mayoralty contest has
also precipitated further complications.
With Cellars, Lightner. Lombard and
Werleln in the field. Rushlight's sup
porters believe he would win the nomi
nation. While Mayor Simon was con
sidering the question of seeking re
nomlnatton and re-election, the other
Republican aspirants, with the excep
tion of Rushlight, awaited that deci
sion. Not so with Rushlight however.
The East Side plumber was on the Job
very minute and haa been for the last
several weeka and In that length of
time has dons much to organize his
campaign.
Democrats to Be Reckoned With.
There are many Republicans who feel
that Rushlight, if nominated, would be
unable to defeat either Thomas, Lane
or Word, one of whom will be the Dem
ocratic nominee. For that reason, an
effort will be made to concentrate the
Republican vote on one of the other
Republican candidates, possibly Wer
lein, who will doubtless have most of
Simon following, or Lombard. If this
cannot be accomplished. . an attempt
may be made to Induce Bra Selling to
become a candidate, in the belief that
he can win the Republican nomination
and at the same time defeat any man
named by the Democrats. Mr Selling,
however, has declared that he Is loth
to- consider the office of Mayor, his
business interests being of such mag
nitude as to make It difficult for him
to make the sacrifice. If Mr. Selling
will not yield, the effort will probably
be made to Induce another business
man of the same representative charac
ter to enter the race.
. i.i. v. nr Inn. refuses to com
mit himself. It is known that he wishes
again to ba Mayor. But ne aoes not
want to get Into the fight unless he
has tha assurance that ha positively
will be elected. There are good rea
sons why Lane feels as he does. He
not only does not care . about going
down to defeat, but he- has other as
pirations. He would like to go to Con-

sacrificed to accomplish this end.

contest to elect West Governor, Lane
was among the last to take a hand. In
return for his services In stumping a
portion of the state for West, Lane is
said to have received the promise of
Senator Chamberlain and West that
they would support Lane for Repre
sentstlve in Congress from the dlstript
Into which Multnomah has been cre
ated. Possible defeat for the office of
Mayor at thia lime would not be a
desirable asset in Lane's candidacy for
Congress next year. This is believed
to be the real reason for Lane's con
tinued silence regarding the Mayoralty
although strong pressure is being
brought to force him into the contest
for the Democratic nomination. These
reasons evidently are causing Lane to
hesitate about wading into the fight
until the situation respecting the Re
publican nomination clears up slightly
and he can get an idea of who his Re
publican opponent likely will be.

their decisions before the store closed.

POLICE ARE THREATENED
Card Says Holzman Crime Is Only
Start If North End Is Molested.
"Look out for your women and girls.
We'll get them yet!"
On a postal card addressed to the Chief
of Police, and received yesterday, these
words, with much of like import, were
written by an anonymous correspondent,
for whom the police are searching, in
conjunction with the postal authorities.
"The death of that little child is only
the beginning. Let the North End alone,
or hell shall pop. There will be more
terrible excitement than this!''
Much more was written, of a vile
nature. The police believe that the card
wos the work of some degenerate fully
capable of such a crime as that com
mitted last week upon little Barbara
Holzman.
The card was written In a clerkly hand
and the rhetoric is not that of an ignor
ant man. Aa a portion of the message
waa indeaent, the caso was referred to
the Postofflce inspectors, who are seek
ing the writer.
