Last day for candidates to file statement of expenditures. Hay 10. All candidates must file their dec? laratlon before circulating petitions. At the primary and general elec tions the polls will he open from 8 A. It. to 7 P. II. Mayor Rushlight officially announced yesterday that he .will be a candidate for re-election and that he will enter the primaries, which are set for May S. If he la nominated, which he said he .-believes he will be, he will seek office, no matter whether the proposed com mission charter Is adopted or not. He believes It will be. he said, and he ex pects to be the first Mayor under the new plan. He returned to his office at the City Hall yesterday morning", after an absence of six weeks, during; which time he and his bride took a wedding trip to California points and to Hono lulu, and they were both glad to be home again. Mr. Rushlight' friends here, into whose hands be had given his political affairs, had withheld definite announce ment ot his intentions, believing that the unusual condition now prevailing on account of the injection of the com mission charter into the arena, justified them in not announcing him as a can didate in the primaries. They believed that a primary campaign, in view of the great probability of a change in the administrative policy of the city. would be labor and time lost OrlKlnal Intent Held. "I will enter the primaries," said the Mayor, "after he had discussed the situation with his friends. "I think shall proceed along the lines of my original Intent, and go through the pri maries. If I am nominated, which hope I will be and, in fact, think I will be, I will then be in a position to go before the people as a candidate for either form of charter. I will continue as a candidate, no matter whether the commission charter carries or not. Per sonally, I favor the commission plan and have done and will continue to do everything I can to bring about the change from the present form of mu nicipal government to that the the commission form." The Mayor said that he was mis understood by a correspondent who interviewed him at Medford while he was en route to Portland, and that he was Incorrectly quoted as to statements regarding the moral condition of Fort land. "I said that Portland must be a pretty clean city if the Governor, Sheriff and other outsiders could find nothing more here than they had found o far in their crusades," said the Mayor. "I meant no reflection what ever upon them, but simply wished to point out the fact that, despite their ernest efforts. they had been unable to unearth anything worth while and that, in my opinion, proved the city to be in good moral condition. Renewed Interest Taken. With Mayor Rushlight formally in the race, the municipal campaign takes on renewed Interest, although it can not be said that the situation Is very exciting and. Indeed, it is doubtful if it will be so. The peculiar situation that prevails is unprecedented and has thrown a damper over the political life of the city. As a matter of fact. Rushlight, Gay liombard and Councilman Magulre, who are the three' men having announced their candidacies for the Republican nomination for Mayor are running for office under a charter which is pretty apt not to exist after the primary nom inating date. That the commission form of char ter is going to be adopted is prophe sied by a large number of men who are In touch with the situation and. If it does, then all of the candidates for all of the offices, with the single excep tion of the Auditor, will have made their campaigns largely in vain. Prcatis Mlaht Help. The only potnt that may be gained by candidates in the primaries is that, if nominated under the present form of charter, they would have a certain prestige in case the commission form is adopted. The new charter would do away with partisan politics, as It pro vides for the preferential ballot sys tem, with first, second and third choice features, and no primary. In other words, any candidate who goes through the primary under this present charter will have made his campaign In vain, even if he Is nomi nated, in rase the commission form Is chosen by the people. Kven though nominated, he would not be certain of election, and would have to take hi chances with the other candidates for Mayor, of whom doubtless there will be a very large number. The commission charter, if adopted, wilt bring out a horde of candidates, both for Mayor and for Commissioners, as it is attractive from the standpoint of salary, the Mayor being placed on a salary of 16000 a year; the four Com missioners on salaries ot 15000 a year each and the Auditor, the only other elective officer, at not less than 36QO. In Spokane, when the election under the first commission form came on. there were 9S candidates for the vari ous offices. It is believed there will be many here. UNION SHOW IS SCHEDULED Display of Hogs and Sheep as Well as Cattle Will Be Made. Plans for the annual Union Livestock Show at Cnlon. , Or, have been com pleted. The dates have been set for June t, and T, which Is the most con venient time for stockmen in that vicinity.

Last year a large delegation of Port land business men went to Union to attend the show. They declared the stock they saw there equal to that of many shows held in larger cities. The quality as well as the quantity of this year's exhibit is expected to be superior to that of last year. WENAKA MAN AIDS STATE Story in Magazine by W. D. Ballard Attracts Settlers. IV'. D.

BARRETT'S POSITION SAFE United States Has No More Say Than Other Republics In Change. WASHINGTON. March 7. John Bar rett, director-general of the Pan-Amer ican Union, is one official who is not worrying today over the permanency of his job. He is safe. It was dis covered that because of the peculiar organization of this pseudo branch of the Government, Mr. Barrett was not nswerable to changing Administra tions, but his tenure of office was dic tated by the votes of the 21 republics omprlslng the union. The United states, as a member of the union, has no greater vote in its decision than the smaller of its sister republics. As a result, Mr. Barrett can afford to snap his fingers in the face of those who cast envious eyes on his official position. CORN IS GROWN AT DUFUR Samples Exhibited Here Declared Perfect by C. Ii. Smith. Farmers at Dufur, in Wasco County, do not agree with the theory of the early Oregon settlers that corn cannot be grown in the state. They have ma terial proof to the contrary. Some of this proof was brought into the office of Frank W. Robinson, as- Istant traffio manager of the O.-W. R. N. Company, yesterday. It consisted a dozen ears of what C L. Smith. agriculturist for the company, declared perfect corn, with full, even rows of grain, every kernel hard and firmly set, and the cob small and straight. M. M. Butner, upon whose farm this corn was grown, says that these ears are only samples. He grew 25 acres of corn last year. It yielded 40 busn cla and 20 pounds to the acre. He sold it all to his neighbors for 6 cents a pound for seed corn. WEST PARDONS KRASNER Man Convicted of Extortion Released From Jail.

PUBLICITY LEFT TO COMMERCIAL CLUB Chamber Will Organize Bureau of Trade Statistics Is Decision. SPECIAL REPORT IS MADE Proposed Bureau Will Be Depart ment Devoted to Collecting; of . Data to Be Used in Extend ing City's Trade. Abandoning the idea of consolidating the publicity work for Portland and Oregon under a joint committee of the Chamber of Commerce and the Com mercial Club, the special committee on consolidation for the Chamber yester day returned a report in favor of all publicity work in the 'future being handled through the Commercial Club's publicity bureau, which has always laid especial emphasis upon that activity. The Chamber of Commerce, however, in view of the increasing shipping activity upon the Pacific Coast and the expected conditions that will fol low the opening of the Panama Canal, recommended the creation of a Bureau of Trades Statistics in the Chamber of Commerce, which' will have for its aim the gathering of information regard ing shipping conditions In all ports of the coast and will carry on activity to attract to Portland, new shipping lines. Overlapping Is Avoided. Until the report of this special com mittee was filed with President Averill, of the Chamber of Commerce, the plan sanctioned by both organizations had been to turn over all publicity work to a joint committee of lo, with seven members appointed from each body and the loth selected by them. The turning of all publicity work over to the Commercial Club eliminates overlapping in the activities of the two organizations in that line, and the new bureau proposed for the Chamber is not expected to overlap upon the work of any of the committees of the Com mercial Club, so that the results sought for will be practically the same under the new system as under the plan first considered. President Averill outlined the new plan yesterday as follows: Conclusions Are Given. "It was the consensus of opinion that there is a necessity for the Chamber of Commerce to extend its work in other directions and leave the publicity work entirely to the promotion depart ment of the Commercial Club. "One of the first steps in carrying out this matter of increasing and ex tending the work that is germane to the Chamber of Commerce was the creation by the trustees at this meet ing of the bureau of trade statistics of the Portland Chamber of Commerce. This bureau will be a department entirely devoted to the collection of statistics of all kinds relating to the trade and commerce of Portland, and the other cities on the coast. "Minute details will be gone into In these statistics and all will be filed in systematic order that they may be used in trade extension work, in the securing of more steamer lines for Portland and the retention of those already here, especially those lately secured. "It must be remembered that com petition between the various cities of the Pacific seaboard will grow keener and keener. This the Chamber ap preciates and in protecting the com mercial interests of our local firms, various measures must be taken and the Chamber is ready to undertake and forcefully prosecute this work."

Auxiliary Institution of National De pository to Begin Business In About Two Months. To care more adequately for their growing business the stockholders of the Lumbermen! National Bank have arranged to organize a trust and sav ings Institution to be known as the LumbermanB Trust & Savings Bank, capitalized at 1500,000, which will be ready to begin business in about two months. John A. Keating, vice-president of the Lumbermens National Bank, will be the managing director of the new bank, which will be closely affiliated with the Lumbermens National. Tern porary quarters have been secured in the rooms in the Lumbermens build ing to -the north of those now occu pied by the National bank. These rooms will be occupied until the pres ent library building is remodeled, when both banks will be moved into that . structure. John W. Blodgett one of the directors of the Lumbermens National Bank, purchased the library building about two years ago. Tie will convert the interior into a ' typical banking house as soon as the library moves into its new building now under construction. Eventually he will re place the structure with a modern sky scraper and the two banks will occupy the ground floor space. Organization of the Lumbermens Trust & Savings Bank will enable the stockholders of the National bank to widen the scope of their operations. We will be able under this plan to lend money on real estate mortgages," said Mr. Keating yesterday, "to exe cute trusts, to act as executor or ad ministrator for estates, or as trustee or assignee of any company. These functions rightfully are a part of any banking -business, but the charter of a National bank does not permit such a varied activity." The growth of the Lumbermens Na tional Bank has been somewhat re markable. It had its beginning as the Bankers and Lumbermens Bank in May, 1906. Its capitalization then was 1250, 000. Two years later It became a Na tional bank and its capital was in creased to $500,000. On July 1 the cap ital stock was increased to 61,000,000. The combined capital of the two in stitutions will thus be $1,500,000. Stock- John A.

NORTH BEACH GROWS CORN Neglected Industry Expected Prove Profitable. to Farmers on North Beach in Washing ton, are starting to raise corn. C. L. Smith, agriculturist for the O.-W. R. & N. Company, left for Long Beach last night to tell them how it is done. The climate and the soil of the North Beach peninsula are well adapted to corn growing, asserts Mr. Smith, but the industry has been neglected there. In the last year or two a few of the residents have tried this crop and their success has encouraged others. Now the corn crop of the future promises to be more profitable than that of the tourists.

Detectives Hyde and Vaughn have been supplied with a'large amount of new material to be worked I" TOiaC J. B. Byers, Alleged Swindler, Against Whom Tiny Bride As neara. out in their investigation of the prls oner's career. One point they will seek to determine is whether a wife whom he is known to have had in Philadel phia, as late as 1908, is still alive. Byers says she died in 1907, but a letter, writ ten by her the year after, is in evi dence. Byers, who was arrested Wednesday night on charges of passing several bad checks, waived examination in Munlct pal Court yesterday and was held to answer to the grand Jury. Advertisement Leads to Wedding. Hardly had this action been taken when the former Miss Esterman, es corted by her stepfather, C. F. Rust living at 412 Hall street, appeared and identified the man to whom she was married on March 1, following a brief acquaintance which began when she responded to his advertisement calling for young women to take theatrical positions. She responded to Byers advertise ment last January. In the attendant rounds to meet potential employers, he became attentive to the little woman and she assented a little over a week ago when he proposed marriage. ' One week later he was in the toils. The diminutive bride talked freely yesterday of her experience. "But I must say." she said, "that he was awfully nice to me all the time." Mr. Rust is less Inclined to condone the performance and will 'assist in Byers' prosecution. Murder Charge Mentioned. That he was up for murder" once was one of the confidences Byers made to his new wife. He gave hazy details. but she gathered that a shooting af fray arose over a gambling table and many shots were exchanged. Byers is an electrical engineer and was employed at the new Courthouse. He is said to be highly accomplished in muslo and master of several languages That he has a record at Walla Walla Fentitentiary is asserted by the de tectives, who have sent there for his history. In Byers' possession was a letter to an automobile dealer, saying that he had arranged with the Associated Press to drive a motorcycle, carrying himself and wife, from Portland to New York. and asking for financial assistance. The wife in Philadelphia, according to late advices, occupied some position in Girard College. A letter from her to Byers, dated in 1909, came into the hands of the officers yesterday. It speaks of a reunion and says: "Let us go somewhere we are not known and begin all over again." That this Indi cates some trouble, domestic or crim inal, is the theory of the police.

Committee Appointed to Encourage Progressives to Give Politics as Such. In an effort to get out the Progres sive registration for the city primary election, T. B. Neuhausen, state chair man of the party, has appointed a com mittee consisting of Arthur I. Moulton, B. G. Skulason, George Arthur Brown, David Gross, A. H. Burton, Mrs. M. L, T. Hidden and Miss Mary E. Hill to assume charge of the matter. This committee has conferred with a num ber of party leaders, and has decided to adopt ways and means to encourage Progressives to register as such. "We do not wish to vote in any other primary than our own, however," said Mr. Neuhausen, yesterday. - "On the contrary, having been made a legal party by act of the recent Legislative Assembly, we are anxious to hold our own separate primary, and we, there fore, are going to urge all Progressives who are now listed on the registration books as Republicans or Democrats to go to the Courthouse and change their registration. A great many mem bers of our party do not know that they have this right and we wish to give the fact as wide publicity as pos sible. "As to candidates for the city offices, the Progressive party In all probability will have a complete ticket in the field. The possibility of the adoption of the commission form of government on the same day as the primary elec tion, has caused some hesitancy on the part of citizens desiring to announce their candidacy. However, it now looks as though the advantage to be gained by running in the primary campaign in March and April will not be over looked. II ARE FAIR SEX, REGISTERING, EX PECT TO ELECT MAYOR.
