SEVERAL ARE OUT
FOR WILLIAMS
JOB
Republicans Direct Interest
Toward National Commit
teeman for State.
CONTEST MAY RESULT
Federal Berth Which Carrie Influ
ence With Party In Tower Is Ie
Ired by Number Present In
cumbent In Recipient Mood.
Now that th result of th election of
in delegates to the Republican Nation
al ron Tent Ion Is known. Interest Is di
rected. In prt at least, to the selection
by those delegates of a National com
mltteman for this state. Ralph K. Wil
liams, of Polk, who has held the com
mitteeship for some time, would Itke
to hold the place for another four
year period. But already there, are
other contenders In the field and the
contest 6ls promise of much Interest.
There are at least two of the 10
rieWate who would like to succeed
Williams as National committeeman.
fr. J. N. Smith, of Marlon, has mti
mated that he would not turn down the
place If It was offered to him and
Charles H. Carey, of Multnomah, la also
a receptive candidate for the honor.
RaoaeTelt Maa la ReeeptlT.
It Is reported that Dr. Henry Waldo
Coe. mother delegate to the convention,
would be It lad to accept the committee
ship, particularly If Roosevelt should
win out -In the Presidential contest.
Williams Is not a delegate, but the
members of the delegation In their
choice of National committeeman are
not limited to one of their number.
They may choose any other Republican
In the slate. ,
Friends of the aspirants for the com
mitteeship already are working to line
up the support of a sufficient number
of the delegates to Insure the choice
of their particular candidate. The of
fice of National committeeman Is a de
al Table- berth especially when the polit
ical party with which the Incumbent Is
Identified Is in power In National af
fairs. laflarare Is Wide.
Ordinarily the committeeman has a
great deal to say as to th distribution
of f ederal patronage In hla state. His
indorsement, coupled with the recom
mendation of the Congressional dele
gation at Washington. virtually
clinched a commission for the candidate
proposed. At times, when the state's
representatives at Washing-ton are un
able to agree upon a candidate, the
committeeman Is In a position to appeal
direct to the President and secure rec
ognition and favorable action.
The election of a National committee
man Is one of the duties of th 10
delegates chosen by the Republican
voters of the state. The choice will
be made when the delegates are as
sembled at Chicago In the course of
the National conventlon.

PARK FUNDS IE LOW
NEW BOND 1SSI"E IS NEEDED TO
CONTINUE WORK.
Improvement and Extension Will
Cease When Tenvllllger Road Is
Finished Vnlesa Money Voted.
Improvement of parks, extension of
boulevards and other features of the
city system of parks and playgrounds
will cease with the acquisition of the
remaining property to be condemned
or bought for th Terwllllger roadway,
grading of the same and the installa
tion of sewers, unless the people of
Portland vote another bond Issue. This
was mad clear at a special session of
the Park Board, held yesterday after
noun. It will cost 1100,000 to purchase th
necessary ground for completing Ter
wllllger boulevard, (he big South Port
land project now -well under way;
IS5. 000 to grade it and Install sewers,
and it will require ISO.OOO, as estimat
ed, to pay for hard-surface street im
provements as contemplated.
This will consume very nearly all of
the funds In the hands of the members
of the Park Board, except 15000, ap
propriated yesterday afternoon for the
completion of the Mount Tabor Park
driveway. Mayor Rushlight had been
somewhat concerned over the situation,
as the fund was getting short. He was
In favor of making numerous Improve
ments throughout the city, but the
money at hand would not Justify these.
He was doubtful as to the propriety of
using any of the fund for the Mount
Tabor roadway, but, after considering a
detailed statement by Superintendent of
Parks Mische. submitted yesterday. It
was found that the necessary 15000
could safely be used.
When the money on hand or to be
obtained by the sale of bonds Is used,
there will be nothing with which to
make any Improvements or to pur
chase new property anywhere In the
city. A proposed bond Issue of $2,000,
000 Is to be put before the people at the
first opportunity. If this passes, ac
cording to the plans of the Mayor and
members of th Park Board, an elabo
rate scheme for general Improvements
will be outlined, and all of the parks,
playgrounds and boulevards will be
brought up to the highest standard of
efficiency, and other tracts will be pur
chased for parks and playgrounds. It
will, therefore, be left for the elector
ate to say whether the city's park,
playground and boulevard system shall
b extended.
DAIRYMAN URGES LAWS
Klamath Falls Man Want More
Rigid Milk Inspection.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or.. May .
(Special. ) James W. Straw, a leading
dairyman of Klamath Falls, said today
that he Is ready to lead a crusade for
cleaner milk and more rigid Inspec
tion of dairies. He said he hoped the
movement would become state-wide.
"Dairymen who object to measure
to Insure pur milk and dairy prod
ucts ar short sighted." ha declared.
I have urged many times an ordinance
here for the rigid Inspection of dairies
and hope It will not be long before my
purpose is accomplished.
"Consumers are willing to pay more
for clean milk than they ar for dirty
milk. That Is certain. Ther Is no
way In which th dairyman can lose
money through cleanliness. The only
reason against Inspection that I have
so far discovered Is that some dairymen
ar too lasy to keep their place clean."

RULES BOO! BALKED
Recreation Commission Can't
Regulate Amusements.
QUESTION IS UP TO GRANT
Appointees of Mayor Rusblight Find
Obstacle In Way of Governing
Dancehalla and Park on
City Property.
No authority exists In the charter for
the Investment of a recreation com
mission, recenly named by Mayor Rush,
light, with power to reg-ulate public
amusement places, such a dancehall
or other recreational feature on city
property, and this obstacle may Inter
fere seriously with the plans of the
commission.
At a Joint session of the members of
th Park Board and of th recreation
commission yesterday Mayor Rushlight
brought out that th Park Board Is
given full control over public parks
and other public amusement resorts
within the city. In case there Is a way
to obviate this difficulty and give au
thority to the commission. It will be
discovered and reported on by City
Attorney Grant, a th Joint session
referred the whole subject to him.
When Mayor Rushlight called the
session to order, W. G. Thacher outlined
an ordinance, which was Introduced
into the City Council at the last meet
lng, giving the recreation commission
power over all public places, other
than parks and playgrounds. It pro
poses also to give the member author
ity to regulate public dances and to
say when and where such shall be held.
The Mayor, however, at one asked
Mr. Thacher, who la a member of tie
commission, whether he and his asso
ciates had looked up the charter pro
visions. Mr. Thacher said he had not.
and the subject was then discussed
for some time, with the result stated.
Miss Valentine Prlchard, director of
the People' Institute, also a member
of th recreation commission, asked
the Mayor and members of the Park
Board whether the Park Board has
authority to Install recreational fea
tures In the parks and playgrounds,
and the Mayor said that, in his Judg
ment, It has.
"I think that the Board has such
authority," said the Mayor, "provided the
funds are at hand. Just now. the Board
has no funds It can use for such pur
poses, although, personally, the mem
bers all favor such action. It will be
necessary to build assembly halls and
house for such features as dancing
If the Board is to go Into this work."
The recreation commission has
planned to provide various features of
amusement not contained in the scheme
of the Park Board for parks and play
grounds, but It seems now that the
members will have to limit their ac
tivity to private property and halls
that may be donated or leased with
private fund. The city cannot ap
propriate funds to carry on any recre
ation or .to improve any property not
owned by the city. It has been ruled by
various City Attorneys. .

MONMOUTH REJECTS BIDS
Contractors Water Works Proposals
Considered Too High.
MONMOUTH, Or., May 6. (Special.)
The City Council opened bids for the
construction of the new water system
Saturday, tne time advertised to let the
contract, but the bids were rejected as
unreasonably high. Some contractors
present refused to submit bids, alleg
ing that the supply firms and other
contractors had combined to pad prices.
This unexpected turn in th work of
the Council for the. new water system
Is considered a disappointment, since
members have been working on the
matter for a year.
However, the Council and Mayor
say there will be but little. If any
delay in putting in the entire system,
as they have offers from responsible,
contractors to do the work at much
less than bids submitted. The Coun
cil is considering doing a part of all
of the work under its own supervisor
A special meeting will be held next
Wednesday to consider bids.
