EXECUTIVE REMAINS FIRM
of the local parks, Mr. Dickie made a
tour of the 11 local parks and spoke
encouragingly of the method of their
upkeep. Speaking further. Mr. Dickie
said:
"Some of the main features of - your
parks are the grounds, swimming
pools, turf baseball diamonds and your
magnificent rose bushes and gardens.
You are In a position to keep your
parks in a green condition, and no
bare, hard ground has to be con
tended with. I especially want to
commend the Park Board for estab
lishing swimming pools in the parks
something that the playgrounds of
Oakland lack.
"One advantage we have at Oakland
is the ability to run the grounds
throughout the entire year. I see that
you are beginning to introduce that
here.".
The number of parks in Oakland Is
12, under the supervision of 26 in
structors, while here there are 11, with
24 directors. Mr. Dickie observed that
band concerts were daily occurrences
Anderson Declares He Will Not Sign
Unless Arneson Does likewise.
Chief of Police Denies Use of
Jnll to Special Agents.
THE DALLES, Or, July 10. (Spe
cial.) City Treasurer J. E. Barnett
Announced today that he would honor
any city warrant signed by Mayor An
derson and Recorder Ross. Barnett
said, yesterday that he would not cash
warrants unless they were signed by
L. H. Arneson,- who was appointed Re
corder by Mayor Anderson, but who
failed of confirmation at the hands of
the City Council Monday night.
Barnett was threatened with arrest
by City Attorney Wilson If he refused
to honor a single warrant because it
was not signed by Arneson and he
changed his mind today regarding this
matter. However, this does not clear
up the controversy over the payment
- of warrants, for Mayor Anderson an
rtounced this afternoon that he will
sign no warrant unless the signature
of Arneson is affixed thereto.
"If Mayor Anderson refuses to sign
"warrants without the signature of Ar
neson I will direct the City Treasurer
that he pay the warrants without An
derson's signature." said City Attorney
Wilson when he heard, of the position
taken by the city's chief executive.
Conncll Claims Whip Hand.
If Barnett refuses to follow the in
structions of Wilson in such an event
and. declines to honor warrants that
are not signed by Anderson, the city
officials and Councllmen say they can
compel him so to act, contending that
It is not necessary that warrants be
signed by the Mayor. Their position
is that according to the city charter
and ordinances no one but the Coun
cil can order warrants drawn and that
even though Anderson refuses to af
fix his name the city can meet Its ob
ligations without his help.
Barnett, who says he is not taking
sides in the controversy, is in an em
barrassing position. It is not known
what he will do if Anderson refuses
to sign warrants and orders Barnett
not to honor them without his name
attached, for Attorney Wilson threat -1
ens Barnett with arrest If he does not
cash them. He is between "the devil
and the deep sea," as it were.
The deadlock between the Mayor and
Council over the matter of police ap
pointments, is unchanged today. Com
missions for R. R. McDonald, G. L.
Coleman, George W. Winkler, George
Friel and John Dyball, the unconfirmed
police appointees of Mayor Anderson,
who have been appointed special
agents by Governor West, were re-
ceived by the men today. Their accep-
tance of the commissions is claimed by
Anderson's opponents to be an ac
knowledgement that these men have
no authority under the appointment of
the Mayor; that if the appointment of
Anderson without the Council's con
firmation conferred any authority why
should they need to have been commis
sioned by the Governor? The Council
men have emphatically announced that
they will not pay Anderson's appoin
tees a penny no matter how long they
serve in patroling the city as police
men. No Arreata Yet Made.
The Mayor says the salaries of Mc
Donald and his force will be paid by
the state under section 2612 of Lord's
Oregon laws. He says the amount of
remuneration Is a matter "of agreement
between the Governor and his agents.
They will probably receive the same
wages as the regular local officers. No
arrests have been made In this city
by either force since the two set of
men commenced separately patrolling
The Dalles Tuesday morning. Chief
Gibbons and the members of the regular
police force are the only ones who
can get into the City Jail and have
refused to recognize any right of Mc
Donald or his' men to enter the bastile
as officers.
Chief Gibbons has instruced his of
ficers that if any of the special agents
should happen to pick up a prisoner
that they shall be taken over by the
regular "officers and locked up, Just
the same as though any citizen of The
Dalles presented a person who should
be taken into custody, but under no
consideration.' will . McDonald or his
force be allowed to use the Jail as
officials.
"Governor West called me by long
distance telephone, said Mayor Ander
son; "he Baid he was . going to the
coast today, but said the state govern
ment is back of me. He told me if I
wanted anything to' notify his office
The commissions sent by West to
McDonald and his men were issued
"pursuant to section 2612, Lord's Ore
con Laws, to serve during the pleasure
or tne uovernor.

Proposed Road Would Extend From
Canada Down Through Colville
Reservation Idvely Contest
Expected From Hill Forces.
SPOKANE. Wash.. July .10. (Spe
cial.) With a view to' securing a
north-and-south line through the Col
ville Indian reservation, possibly the
surveyed route of the Spokane & Brit
ish Columbia, commonly known as the
"hot air" line, representatives of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul engi
neering department at Seattle have
completed a trip over " the proposed
route down the San Poil to the British
Columbia line.
The trip consumed two weeks dur
ing which time representatives of the
Milwaukee made a thorough Investiga
tion of the possibilities of tapping this
Central Washington territory.
Coincident with the completion of
this inspection trip comes the report
that the Milwaukee and Great North
ern will tangle pretty lively this Sum
mer for possession of this Central
Washington territory, now the exclu
sive territory of the Great Northern
Railway.
The coming of President Earling, of
the Milwaukee, his assistant C. A.
Goodnow, President Carl R. Gray, of
the Great Northern, James J. Hill,
Louis W. Hill and other officers and
directors of the Milwaukee and Great
Northern Railway systems next month
is calculated to speed the plans for
further development of Central Wash
ington. And. Just at a time when announce
ment is made that the highest officials
of the Milwaukee and Great Northern
contemplate extended trips into this
state, comes the report that the Mil
waukee will seek a new entrance into
Spokane from the northwest.
The Great Northern is alive to the
Importance of blocking the Milwaukee
in its effort to secure a northwest en
trance Into Spokane.
If the Milwaukee secured the strate
gic line of the Spokane Western Power
& Traction Company, it would have a
completely new entrance into the very
nearc or tne city, and an easy connec
tion with the Union Terminal could be
negotiated.
CINCINNATI MAN TO FRONT
Theatrical Mechanics Association
Gets Surprise at Spokane.
SPOKANE, Wash.. July 9. (Special.)
The most dramatic development in
the Theatrical Machanics' Association
grand lodge session now In progress
nere, was sprung todav when James H.
Curtin, of New York, declined to accept
the nomination for grand president, al
though a leader in the race for this of
fice. This virtually assured the elec
tion of Charles W. Schweitzer, of Cin
cinnati.
Caucuses until early hours this morn.
ing, it is stated, were indujged in by
Schweitzer forces preparing plans for
the defeat of Curtin, and many polls
of the delegates have been taken In
formally to ascertain the strength of
tne two candidates.
The New York men came into the
fight at Spokane handicapped by the
nonappearance of their delegates, who
were forced to attend other meetings,
owing to the change in date of the
grand lodge session. In spite of this
handicap Curtin has gained in strength
daily, until last night It was thought
he had a majority of the delegates.
The withdrawal of Curtin from the
race was kept secret until the nomina
tions were sprung today, and not until
his name was placed in nomination did
the members of the opposing faction
know that Curtin would decline the
nomination. The formal election takes
place tomorrow.
The case of the Cincinnati lodge
against the Pittsburg lodge has been
dropped.

NEW LINE EXPECTED
Milwaukee Is Reported Back
of Olympia & Southern.
WORK LIKELY STARTS SOON
Centralla Expects Construction to
Begin Before End of . Summer.
- Many Condemnation Suits
Right-of-way Filed.
CEITRALIA, Wash.. July 10. (Spe
cial.) Rumors are persistent In Cen
tralla that "the Olympia & Southern
Railway, the new road which last week
filed, articles of incorporation with the
Lewis County Auditor, will start con
struction work before the end of the
Summer. The new company is incor
porated for only $50,000, but it is un
derstood the necessaray cash fer con
structing the entire line Is available.
Promoters of the line are said to be
waiting: to obtain franchises in towns
through which the road will operate.
Nearly a dozen ' condemnation suits
for right of way. all of which involve
the old Union Pacific grade in the west
end of Centralla, have been filed in the
Lewis County Supelor Court and it is
understood that additional options have
been taken for a depot site on West
Main street.
B. H. Rhodes, a prominent Centralla
attorney. Is one of the Incorporators
and to all appearances the new com
pany Is an independent corporation, but
it is rumored that the Milwaukee is
behind the road and that the big sys
tem is planning to build a line from
Puget Sound to the Columbia River. It
Is also believed that the Milwaukee's
branch to Willapa Harbor will be built
from Centralla instead of extending
south from Helsing Junction.
The Kelso & Eastern Railway, arti
cles of Incorporation for which were
filed in Olympia yesterday, also is be
lieved to be another project of the
Milwaukee. The articles of incorpo
ration state that the road will extend
from Kelso to Mayfleld, in Eastern
Lewis County, and it is the supposition
that it will connect with the Milwau
kee system at Morton, the present ter
minus of the Tacoma & Eastern, re
cently acquired by the Milwaukee. This
road would tap one of the richest un
developed timber and agricultural sec
tions in the state and would place To
ledo, the biggest inland town In Wash
ington, on & railroad. ,
cortes to March's Point, opposite Hat
Island.
This line will be connected with a
slip or apron enabling loaded cars to
be handled by barge. For the past year
the Milwaukee has operated successful
ly a line of car barges between Bel
llngham and Seattle, carrying carloads
of transcontinental freight. It is evi
dent that that company is preparing
for an active campaign of freight so
licitation at Anacortes. Mr. Bowen's
associates comprise Influential Ana
cortes business men.
The line will be pushed through to
Mount Vernon at a rapid pace, through
a rich district.

soon as arrangements can be completed.
