Op pnnrnu of Lombard 1nd Sel fish Motives for His Allltnde Toward Stmt raving. Turn In his rapid fire run tempor arily on Rushlight, one of his Repub llran opponents for the Mayoralty nomination. Gay I.ombard jful'Miy declared that the support of the Kast Fide man for llsyor by members of the. "Inner circle" of the Council Is In pur suance of a pre-election understand Ins; between Rushlight and those Council man who are now "under fire. Ijom bard declares that Rushlight I being actively supported hy Baker. Beldtng. C'oncannnn. Kubll and rrlscolL "In this connection It la a significant fact that every one of these Councilmen Is seeking re-election." said Mr. Lom bard yesterday. "The query naturally suggests Itself, why are they all lined op In support of Rushlight? The rea son Ik not difficult to ascertain. This combination of Councilmen la support Ins; Rushllsht for the rlmple reason that they desire his election as Mayor along; with their own re-election In or-d-r "hat they may perpetuate the ex isting conditions In the Council. Prevent Order" to Be Maintained. "They realise that with themselves returned to the Council and Rushlight In the Mayor's chair they mill be able to continue the present order of thins:. These Councilmen hare either received from Rushlight. In consideration for their support, the assurance that he will not oppose their name or realise that they ran run thins to suit them eelves with or without Rushlight's con sent should he be elected Mayor. "It is entirely reasonable to assume that Baker. lTts.-oll. Kubll et al are Cot supporting; Rushlight unselfishly. They undoubtedly have some object In view. That ohject was made the con sideration of the understanding that un questionably already has been rearhed and subscribed to by the Council men referred to and Rushlight. No v'oer Interpretation ran be pie-ed to the present situation. The g;ame Is not hard to see throuah and It will not d-elve the people of I'ortland. Tha record of these Councilmen Individual ly shows w hat t h stands fr. Their Indorsement of Rushlight for Mayor carries with It his acquiescence In their programme, what thy have stood for and what may be ei-riel of them as Councilmen In tha future. Voters Most Be Alert. "This state of affalra should serve further to Impress on the voters of this city the Imperative neef for being; awake to the situation. They must ba en the alert In selecting; their Council men. Independently of whom they choose for Mayor. If the present de plorable conditions In our city admin istration are to be terminated. Clean government In this city can only ba obtained by choosing for the Council men sit are absolutely beyond the possibility of corrupting Influence as It Is now wielded by public service corporations In municipal affairs. I'n ss tha right character of men are elected to the Council, no relief from present conditions can be expected. Replying to Lombard's attack on members of the Council. Councilmen Raker and Kubll yesterday charged Jxtmbard with having private Interests which ha furthered during hla service In tha Council. They compiled statistics from tha city records showing that Lombard Introduced mora resolutions for street work during hla term as Councilman than any other member. The same figures show that over f ). 000 of bonds were supplied paving contractors by the Oregon Furety Casualty Company, of which Lombard Ja president. Answering this charge. Lombard sa!d yesterday that the company referred to by Baker and Kubll Is In no sens a "get-rtch-qutck" project, having at no time etnc tts organisation declared a dividend.

There la even talk that an attempt will ba made to Impeach Lombard. These reports, however, do not serve to disconcert Ixmibard In the slightest degree. He said yesterday that he was not alarmed at any threats of that char acter. Mr. Lombard feela that he has fully compiled with all of the require ments of the charter and the usual mode of procedure In withdrawing aa a member, of the Councl!. First, he formal ly filed with both tha Mayor and the lunci Ma rntgrUion. Later he de clined to serve further aa a member of the Council, although - Importuned by Mavor Simon to reconsider his action In resigning;.

IS EXTOLLED Railway to Emphasize Im portance of .Industry. BOOKLET TO BE SENT OUT Long; Maul of Meat Products Is Vn natural. bay R. H. Miller, and Ore tron should Produce) Its Own Supply. To encourage hog-raising among the farmers of Oregon and Washington the O.-W. R- A N. Company has spent several thousand dollars since the first of the year and Is preparing- to dis tribute even greater amounts tn the belief that bos; husbandry, more than anythlnr else, will aid In the rapid development of the agricultural re gions of the Northwest. Probably tha most elaborate scheme yet adopted to point out the many ad vantages of hog-breeding In the state la the publication of a neat 20-page booklet, well Illustrated, which Is on the press and which will be mailed to farmers and prospective farmers In Ore gon and other parts of the country next week. The booklet was edited by T. O. Lively, manager of the t'nion Stock yards, and others. It was prepared under the direction of It B. Miller, traffic manager of the 'railroad, who first pointed out the neglect of the hog Industry In the slate and the seem ing mad rush of farmers and city men alike to crow rich by fruit-raising. Industry Means Profit. "Because there Is good money In fruit-raising; everyone now wants to go Into that business." said Mr. Miller yes terday. I can't understand why they are overlooking; the fact that there Is money, and probably more money. In hog-raising. Thla Is a serious subject with me and I am mighty anxious to see that It gets some attention from others. The future prosperity of the atate depends upon it more than most of us isive any Idea. "Here we are speQdlng; millions of dollsrs every year for bogs' shipped tn from Nebraska and Kansas, wncn we should be producing; those pigs our selves. Not only that, but we should be growing them for export to other states. Oregon, If It wants to. can produce almost enough pork to supply the Nation. "Although the railroads get a long; haul on hogs shipped Into Portland from the Middle West and thereby de rive more freight revenue than on a short haul from the interior of the state, it is undesirable business for us. We would rather do the short-haul business. The long haul is an unnat ural movement and sooner or later must adjust Itself to natural conditions. The natural condition In this Instance Is for Oregon to produce enough pork for Its own use. at least. That's the reason we are eager to establish that condition aa soon as possible." Dairying; Important, Too. Next to hog-ralslng. Mr. Miller Is Interested In the development of the dairy Industry In Oregon and Wash ington. He has emphseized these points on various occasions recently and again brought them out at the meetings held In the Yakima Valley last week. In Issuing the hog booklet the com pany has gone to much expense but will not stop there to accomplish Its purpose. The first Issue of 25.00S HOG J 1 iaav ,v .- T copies will he used In mailing one to every farmer on the O.-W. R. & N. Company main and branch lines. Through much effort the traffic de partment has obtained the name of every farmer living- on these roads and has prepared a mailing list. In many cases canvassers were sent Into the field so that no "farmer might be neglected. The local commercial bodies and public officials also aided In sup plying names. Since the first snnounccment of the company's Intention to Issue the book lot was made through The Oregonfan several weeks ago inquiries for copies of It have been received from very part of the country, showing the wide spread Interest In Oregon. Some delay was occasioned In getting It on the press; as the various author ities who edited It demanded that proofs be submitted to them. How ever, this Insures the reliability and accuracy of the publication and makes It more valuable to the farmer when lie gets It. Mr. Miller said yesterday that the first copies would be placed In the malls some time next week. avalLa valla will be host rassencer Men to Discuss Itates to Northwest Conventions. Walla Walla has been selected ae the meeting place for the North Pa cific Coast Passenger Association on April 14. The principal questions considered will be those affecting- the Sunday school and church conventions, as well as the fraternal meetings and other gathering to be held In the North western States next Summer. For all these meetings It Is expected the usual rate of a fare and a third for the-round trip, on the certificate plan, will be granted. The Walla Walla Commercial Club has offered the association the use of Its rooms for the sessions, and Is pre paring to entertain the delegates, at a luncheon. Representatives of all the lines operating- out of Portland will attend. I HEI8HTS TUNMEL -WANTED Tualatin Valley Residents Inquire Into Feasibility of Plan. Ten per cent of the acreage which would be benefited by a tunnel under Council Crest, connecting Portland with the Tualatin Valley, was represented at a meeting held last night in the Ra leigh schoolhouse. The 30 persons pres ent expressed themselves as In favor of asking the City Council to appoint a commission to determine the feasibility of the tunnel, and to suggest ways and means of legally bonding the 6000 acres of property which would be benefited. A petition to this effect, addressed to the council, was signed by those prop erty owners present, and will be circu lated throughout the district. Two more meetings will probably be held next week, one at Garden Home and another at Hillsdale, An area of 10 square miles would bear the expense of the tunnel If one were put through. The City Engineer made a rough estimate of the cost about a year ago. and decided It would bo less than Jl. 000.000. Property own ers would be largely benefited by the Increased value of their property by the lessening of the mileage to Port land. Whether a tunnel could be con structed for vehicles, pedestrians and trains is a question which the property owners desire the commission to ba appointed by the City Council to decide. Salem Restaurant Man Seized. SALEmT" Or.. March . SpeclaI.) Scott Ferguson, a well-known restau rant proprietor, and a woman were ar rested last night. Ferguson Is accused of conducting a disorderly place. The police have been watching the flace for several nights and used a private de tective as a decoy to apprehend Ferguson. f 4 4 I I1 'f' Kvery Conceivable Combination of Colors, Adorned by Flashy Gar ters, Is Used by Rooters in Classes and at Game. Polka-dot sock. barber-pole socks, checkerboard socks and socks of almost every conceivable color and combination of colore and varying degrees of loudness were In evidence at Lincoln High School yesterday in honor of the opening of the baseball season. In one instance a sock waei worn as a necktie. So extravagant were the'ideas of some sock-wearers that members of the faculty hesitated as to admitting them to claes rooms. Even a few of the young women students joined In the celebration by wearing attention attracting hosiery. The result of the opening rame Lincoln, 6; Jefferson, the boys of the former e:hoolbelieve was a reward for their initiative In thinking of such a novel way of celebrating the advent of the season. The students, still wearing their variegated hosiery, congregated on the eWe llnea and cheered their nine on to victor'- To add a touch of daintiness George Olson wore pink silk garters ornamented with huge rosettes on a pair of blue stockings with huge polka dots. Sherman llarkson created a sensation by display ing flesh-colored socka of the rhorus girl style with a pair of huge silk gar ters Just below his knees. Severin Harkson wore a pair of cardinal socks with polka dots almost as large as sau cers and the initials L. H. S. embroid ered In white. Ridehalge. the yell leader, brought to view one flame-colored eock and one purple sock when he arose at 9 o'clock to address a meeting on the necessity of rooting. Other school ora tors, clad Jn loud socks and with trous ers elevated so as to permit of none of the effect being wasted, also harangued the crowd. The general plan of the students was not to have the sock on one leg corres pond with that on the other. They suc ceeded remarkably well. Combinations of noisy checkerboard and polka dot and barber-pole and light yellow proved par ticularly effective if the attention which' they attracted may be taken as a crit erion. Sid Laswell made the hit of the day by shedding his necktie and sub stituting a sock of extravagant colors. ROTARY CLUBS GOfliG CONVENTION AVON BY PORT LAND; VOTE IS CLOSE. Kansas City Has Better of Contest Until Last Pay Date Probably Will Be in August. Portland has won the National con vention of the Rotary Clubs of Amer ica, to be held next August..
