Mayor-elect Albee yesterday asked
the four Commissioners-elect to meet
with htm at 10 o'clock this morning
in the office of W. L. Brewster, in the
Failing building-, for what he called
"a hand-shaking session." No pro
gramme has been outlined for the
meeting.
According to rumor about the city,
the -departments will be assigned as
follows; Mayor-elect AJbee. public
cafety; Commissioner-elect Brewster,
public utilities; Commissioner '-elect
Paly, public affairs; Commissioner-elect
Bigelow. finance; Commissioner-elect
rieck, public improvements. The Mayor,
under this charter, has the power to
make the assignments and to appor
tion the work. Should this list of as
signments be made, the Mayor will
direct the police and Are department
work and possibly the health depart
ment. The powers of the Commission are
great, as the members not only legis
late for the city, subject to the refer
endum, but they also have the power
to administer the laws and can revise
salary lists, etc., amend or repeal ordi
nances. Mjp Has Vol! Power.
The charter provides practically no
scope for the departments, but leaves
all of this with the Mayor, it being his
duty to apportion the work to the de
partments, and he has the power to .at
any time change the Commissioners or
to alter their work.
Choice positions with good salaries
attached are under the control of trie
Commission, and, judging by the al
ready large list of applicants, there
wMll be no shortage of timber. An
the members of the uew Commission
were besieged yesterday on all hands
by those -wishing to serve under the
administration.
Inasmuch as none of the Commis
sioners know as yet what departments
they will have, they are unable even to
promise any appointments, and Mayor
elect Albee is paying more attention
to arranging the details of the work
than to patronage at this time, al
though it will be necessary to provide
fur the positions that are appointive
before long, the new Commission being
required to take office July 1.
City Attorney Grant, City Treasurer
Adams and Fred L. Olson, for Munici
pal Judge, are urging their claims for
appointment, those three men having
been nominated in the primaries of
May 3 for those respective positions.
City Engineer Hurlburt, who was a
candidate for Commissioner and made
a good run, is a receptive candidate for
City Engineer. He has been in the
engineering department for many years.
ParehaHtDg Important Job.
By many the newly-created position
of purchasing agent is regarded as
perhaps the most Important of all the
appointments that are to be made. The
City Attorney, Municipal Judge, Treas
urer, Engineer and Purchasing Agent
are elective by the Commission as a
whole.
Purchasing Agent Is a position created
by the adoption of the new charter.
It Is by the organisation of a depart
ment under this head that it Is believed
that hundreds of thousands of dollars
a year can be saved the taxpayers.
There has been no organized system of
buying supplies heretofore, and it has
been a hit or miss proposition. While
on several occasions efforts were made
to create the position, especially by
Joseph Simon when he was Mayor, it
was never done and no modern system
of purchases has ever been installed.
It is believed that under the new ad
ministration this department will be
come one of the most important in the
city, as close to $1,000,000 are expended
yearly to keep up the various depart
ments.. Health Officer to Resign.
In the Health Office, Dr. C. H.
Wheeler, who has served two terms
under Joseph Simon and Mayor Rush
light, will retire. He will resign, to
take effect July 1. as he does not wish
to continue in public service. Dr. Esther
C. Pohl Lovejoy, who was Health Offi
cer Under rr. Harry Lane's administra
tion, is mentioned as a possible ap
pointee. This department is not under
civil service and. If the Commissioner
of Public Safety wishes to. he can re
mow all of the present force and ap
point new ones. In the health depart
ment, also, is the superintendent of
the garbage crematory, now held by
Pavld E. Otis.
The Commissioner of Public Safety
also has the appointing of the Chief
of Police and a private secretary for
himself.
All of. the other positions are under
,oivil service, and. while tt is possible
to remove them, it is understood that
none will be removed if they prove
efficient. That, it is declared, will be
the sole test in all cases.
During the firsi five months of tfee
present year there m-ere S5.30i motor ve
hicles registered In the tate of New York,
of which number 7rt. 164 are pleasure cars
and iS'JV commercial vehicles, the remain
der being dealers' cars, or exempt from
ajtatlon.

ROSE KKSTIVAIi KING.
LavlMi Fire Display and Visit to
All Concessions by Tribesmen
Is Programme.
The Oaks Amusement Park will enter
largely into the scheme of the Rose
Festival next week, and on no less than
four occasions will it figure on the re
vised official Rose Festival programme
now in the course of publication.
Original plans were that on both
Monday and Friday lavish fireworks
displays should be given at the Oaks.
This will still be adhered to, with the
exception that on Friday night the
pyrotechnics will be in honor of His
Majesty. Rex Oregonus, who will view
the fiery displays from a specially
erected Royal Box.
His Oregonian Majesty will be con
ducted to the Oaks in the private car

FIGHT OVER ESTATE IS ON
Suit Over Alleged Lease Given by
Late H. D. Winters in Court.
Attorneys for the state, which has
started escheat proceedings, and for
the various groups of alleged heirs,
appeared in court to fight the suit of
Alice M. Routledge against Mrs. Agnes
Butts-Heckard. administratrix of the
estate of H. D. Winters. The trial was
taken up before Judge McGinn yester
day. The plaintiff asserts that about
a week prior to his death H. D. Winters
agreed to lease to her for 1150 a month,
for five years, with an option of re
newal for 12 years at the same rate,
property on Grand avenue which the
defense contends was bringing in 1400
a month.
In support of her case Mrs. Routledge
has a receipt bearing the purported
signature of H. D. Winters, acknowl
edging the receipt of $5 to bind the
lease. The receipt was dated June 12,
1911, and explained that Mrs. Routledge
was to take possession July 1, 1911.
In the meantime Winters died and the
plaintiff contends that this was the
reason the lease never was actually
executed.

SUGAR MAN SEES Mi
HAWAIIAN GROWEK DEPLORES
REMOVAL OF TARIFF.

"If the Underwood tariff bill, re
ducing the duty on sugar to 1 cent a
pound, becomes a law the sugar Indus
try of Hawaii will be practically ru
ined," says J. A. Gilman. a prominent
sugar-grower of Honolulu, who is in
Portland on business.
"It is impossible for us to compete
with the German sugar growers on an
open market," said Mr. Gilman yester
day. "The cost of labor and transpor
tation and the general expenses are
much greater with us than our German
competitors.
"Since the islands have been annexed
to the United States the cost of labor
has more than doubled. With the pres
ent duty of (33.60 a ton on our raw
sugar It costs us about (58 a ton to lay
sugar down in New York today. Our
average selling price is $80 a toi. This
gives us a margin of $22, but out of
this we have to pay the cost of selling
it and other expenses.
"Now the Underwood bill proposes to
cut the duty to 1 cent a pound or $20
a ton. At the end of three years the
duty is to be removed altogether. This
virtually would confiscate our business.
We could not operate under a free
sugar system, as the German growers
could cut- under our price at every
turn."
Mr. Gilman points out that SO per
cent of the people in the Hawaiian
Islands depend upon the sugar Industry,
either indirectly or directly, for their
livelihood. The pineapple Industry now
is becoming a competitor of sugar in
the number of workmen it employs, but
It is comparatively in its infancy.

Do you know how to look through a surveyor's transit and find a
fortune t
It isn't hard. ,
Rich men and busy men are doing it every day.
Many times you have seen a surveyor "running a line."
He has his transit back on the line which is already run. He has
a stake in the ground where the old line ends. And, sighting across
these two stakes, he finds where the new line is coming to.
This is exactly the way rich men and investors do their sighting to
find their fortunes.
They set their transit on the line of History. Their last stake is
the Present, the thing that is happening now. And throurh their
transit on the line of History they train their sight over the land
mark of the Present, till the Future is made clear to them.
Now you men who have lived in this city for ten years have all
that is necessary upon which to build a fortune. You know what has
happened to Real Estate of this city during those ten years.
You know what is happening to Real Estate in this city today.
