PORTLAND CHILDREN REVELING IN THE SNOW WITH CHRISTMAS SLEDS AS AGENTS OF JOY.
FOR FEDERAL PLUMS
TITE MORNING OREGONTAN, TUTU ST) AT, DECEMBER 28, 1916.
DEMOCRATS SWABM
Honorable Frank Aspires to
Suceed Himself; Others
Flock to 'Band Wagon.'
REBUILT FENCES BLOWN UP
Ex-Chairman of Multnomah Com
mittee Is Thorn in Side of Port
land's Postmaster in Search
or Party Indorsement.
If all the activity of the various de
serving Democrats who aspire to land
ing Federal Jobs next Spring when the
Administration ts kindly expected to
deal out a new hand of cards, could be
cooped up and diverted to some useful
purpose, it would just about build
Portland's modern, new, six-story,
$1,000,000 postofflce.
Speaking of the postofflce of course
brings forcibly to mind the Honorable
Frank Stott Myers, Portland's famous
J6000 a year postmaster; who was re
sponsible for the modern, new six-story
Idea in postofflce styles one story to
each $1000 of salary, if one might
make so bold with the dignity of the
Honorable Frank.
Be that as it may, the Honorable
Frank is one of several incumbent
lob-holders who hope to persuade Sen
ators Chamberlain and Lane that the
peace and dignity of the United States
would be best conserved if the Admin
istration, Instead of dealing out a new
hand, stands pat.
Hon. Frank's Idea Dynamited.
One who differs from him very de
cidedly Is George H. Watson, ex-chairman
of the Multnomah County Demo
cratic central committee. While the
Honorable Frank Is rebuilding some of
his fences, Mr. Watson is very busy
Indeed in putting bombs under the
fence posts. To date he has made con
siderable headway so much so that he
confidently expects the Democratic
State Central Committee to indorse him
for the postofflce Job when it meets
here next January 15.
The committee, as i3 well known, has
no particular reason to feel graeful
or even forgiving toward the Honor
able Frank, who did everything he
could to work inharmoniously with the
committee In the late campaign and
succeeded admirably. Watson, besides,
haB obtained some weighty recommen
dations from business men.
It might as well be said here and
now that whoever is nominated for
the Postmastership and other Jobs will
have to be in good standing with the
state committee and Judge Sam White,
Its chairman, if the Judge and his fel
low committee workers can bring it
about.
Though the meeting on January 15
may not make any recommendations,
the programme for that meeting con
templates the appointment of an execu
tive committee with power to make
such recommendations and act accord
ingly. And it's a 10-to-0 bet that Judge
White will have a lot to do with the
naming of this committee, and that the
Honorable Frank will have little or
nothing to do with naming it.
The state committee also Intends to
make it very clear to the Senators that
It hopes and prays. If not more, that
the Senators will listen kindly to its
recommendations. Senator Chamber
lain is thought to be complacent to this
idea, and Senator Lane is expected to
be for the Senator will be up for re
election in 1918.
Faithful Seek "Band WaBOn."
For this reason there Is a decided in
clination on the part both of Incum
bent job-holders and of those who
hope to be job-holders to climb the
band wagon and "stand in" with the
state committee.
From Salem comes the story that L.
H. McMahon, candidate two years ago
for the Progressive nomination for
Governor, may make an active cam
paign and picturesque to displace
Milton A. Miller as Collector of Internal
Revenue.
Mr. McMahon. like Francis J. Heney,
of Oregon land fraud and San Fran
cisco graft prosecution fame, whose
warm friend he is. was a Democrat
before the Progressive party was
formed in 1912. He and Heney were
swept along in the rush and became
Progressives.
In the late campaign Francis J. He
ney went back to his Democratic alle
giance and so did McMahon. Both
actively supported Woodrow Wilson.
Mr. McMahon also became the Demo
cratic candidate for District Attorney
of Marion County.
Now that he is back with "the boys"
after his temporary Progressive ab
erration, it is whispered that Mr. Mc
Mahon would not be at all averse to
lilling the $4500 chair of internal rev
enue. He has Heney as a friend at
court with the higher ups if he de
cides to run, and he is on good terms
tvith Senator Lane. But so, for that
matter, is Milton A. Miller.
For United States Marshal Frank B.
Tichenor, of Port Orford, one of Ave
Democrats in the lower house of the
coming Legislature and a brother of
Detective Tichenor. of the Portland
police force, 13 an active candidate. He
is receiving some warm support, too,
for John Montag has not been alto
gether an Ideal United States Marshal
from the viewpoint of the Democratic
brethren.
Clarence L. Reames, whose home is
Medford, in Jackson County, is pre
sumed to be a candidate for reappoint
ment as United States Attorney. He
has made a good record and It is
whispered that if he would like to
have it be can be appointed a special
assistant to the Attorney-General at a
good increase in salary.
George Alexander Has BacklnK.
This would please George F. Alex
ander, who succeeded George H. Wat
son as chairman of the Multnomah
County Democratic central committee
and Is also an aspirant for United
States Attorney here. Mr. Alexander
is a son of Representative Alexander,
for many years a Representative In
Congress from Missouri, and has some
powerful backing. Among other in
dorsements he Is understood to have
that of Secretary of Commerce Red-
Held.
For Collector of Customs Herman
Wise, postmaster at Astoria, who
sought the Collectorship four years
ago and missed, and Will Moore, of
Pendleton, are "aspirants to succeed
Judge Thomas C. Burke, who is also
in the race for reappointment.
Judge Burke has warm friends at
Washington, Including Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo and his own brother,
John Burke, who is Treasurer of the
United States and mentioned as very
probably the successor to Secretary
McAdoo in the Treasury portfolio If
the latter decides to retire.
In this connection It is interesting
to note that Secretary McAdoo is the
favorite son-in-law of President Wil
son so that to those of "the boys"
w ho are neutral. Judge Burke's chances
of retention, despite a little difference
a couple of years ago with Senator
Chamberlain, would not seem to be the
worst in the world.

nickels with cheery comment on the
white wonder outside, and they sat
them down to yarn about the epochal
storms of long ago.
And that was but one of the intro
ductions that Boreas managed yester
day. He blew a neweboy clear across
the slippery street, to a customer who
glanced at his bare blue knuckles and
pungled up an entire dollar for the
morning paper. And he blew a young
woman, rose-cheeked and with flying
tresses, around a corner to collision
with the "young man with the nice
eyes," chuckling over that momentous
meeting.
Kindly Woman's Parse Stolen.
And he blew a tattered stranger to
a back door, where a job was given
by the kindly woman inside. Would
that it were not so, but later, only a
few minutes later, he blew the tat
tered stranger away with a stolen
purse hidden in the thief's pocket.
The wind died down In mid-morning,
and the flakes fell In an orderly riot,
as every well-conducted snow storm.
They flattened out as large as dimes
and came down with slow spirals and
aerial glides. But the depressed mer
cury took cheer at this and crept Its
silver way along the tub.j. And the
streets, the pretty white streets, be
came Just lanes of slush, against which
the streetcleanerB strove as Ineffec
tually as the old woman who pitted
her broom against the sea.
Snow Falls all Day.
It snowed all day, fitfully at times,
and again with enthusiasm, for the
weather man had decreed that it must
snow until 5 o'clock this afternoon
or rain and the weather was working
at its job.
Boydom took that storm to ite com
posite self, which Is no other than a
ruddy rascal lying in wait with a
snowball In each hand and last Sum
mer's baseball practice as a training in
gunnery. And it befell, as the day
wore on, that many a hat was doffed
without the consent of its wearer, and
many a dignified head rang seasonable
chimes to the impact of a Know-moulded
missile.
The fireman, for Instance, was whis
tling as he walked fearlessly Into the
gale, as a fireman should. You" could
see, as plain as ever, that he didn't
give a hang for the stormiest storm
and didn't care who knew it. And that
he was happy because of the weather.
The port of his engine-house was only
a luff or two away, to be exact, when
a rakish little craft in a red stocking
cap whiffed out of the side street and
let fly.
Fireman Gets Hit.
That globular quarter-pound of slush
thudded behind the fireman's left ear.
It lifted him from his feet, literally,
and It spun his blue uniform cap into
the waiting wind. He gave signs of
evident distress, raising his clenched
fists as though to signal the stocking
cap closer. But the wafted substance
of his shout certainly referred to a dis
trict which never grew snowballs.
During the morning the Christmas
sleds found exercise on many a slop
ing street and suburban hill. There
were bright eyes and reddened cheeks,
and rumpld hair, and confess it wet
feet, as well; and not. a child in Port
land whined about the snow. They left
repining to their elders, nut worried
mothers looked to the goosc-u reaso and
the liniment and laid out the flannel
chest-cloth. Last night was the night
of penance In many a home.
Vehicles proceeded with due caution
yesterday, for the Inch-deep coating of
the streets was slippery and treacher
ous. An example In point was that of
Ben Medofsky, whose car is now under
going treatment for a broken wheel
and a bent axle. And William Gynther's
car, with its tonneau stove in, also
testifies to the malice of the situation.
Grief Met at Curb.
At Seventeenth and Kearney streets,
Mr. Medofsky, to avoid colliding with
a car driven by Louis H. Miller, of 655
Irving, chose the slim chance and
turned abruptly. He avoided the col
lision, but his own auto shot across the
icy street and crashed into the curb,
where It came to grief.
As for Mr. Gynther, of 470 Emerson
street, his car was crawling down
Sixth street at a leisurely 12 miles per,
when he beheld the danger of a col
lision with a westbound Broadway
streetcar. Swiftly he set the brakes,
but could not check the sliding auto.
He wrenched at the steering wheel and
turned west on the cartrack, where the
streetcar smote the tonneau and crushed
it, throwing the wreck to the curb.
Fortunately there were no passengers
in the rear seat.
More disastrous than either of these
was the descent of a dray laden with
flour to the waters of the Willamette.
The accident occurred early in the
morning, and the sliding dray dragged
the team into the river. One of the
horses drowned. Team and dray were
owned by the Crown Flour Mills Com
pany. Boreas Has Busy Day.
Yes. Boreas was very busy yesterday.
Indeed. For he tinkled a continuous
tune on the fuel dealer's phone, and
he brought out a tidal wave of knitted
caps and knitted gloves, and of fur
collared overcoats. Janitors rushed
furnaceward, and there was a great
banging and bumping and rumbling of
radiators in hall-rooms everywhere.
And little round stoves in little square
homes glowed as redly as Spitzenburgs,
but with a deal more fervor.
Thus It was that the first snow storm
of the season, the first real, Blmon-pure
sifting of crumbs from the frozen whis
kers of the Far North, visited Portland
and other parts of the Oregon country.
"She came," observed the weather
fan. "earlier and heavier than she did
last year. The first snow storm last
season, for Portland, was in progress
New Year's eve. And she snowed a part
of New Year's day."
DOWNTOWN STREETS CLEANED
City Seeks to Prevent Tie-Up Like
That of Last Year.
Having in mind the experience of
last Winter, when, through failure of
the Street Cleaning Bureau 'under City
Cornmissioner Daly to remove snow
from the streets, the downtown dis
trict became a mass of ankle-deep
slush, the buneau started early yester
day to clear away the snow as fast as
possible. An emergency ordinance was
put through the Council for the pur
chase of a snowplow, and men were
put to work opening up catchbasins
throughout the business district.
In case of a, heavy fall of snow. It
is expected the city would be in a
serious plight this year, because of a
scarcity or men to put to work with
shovels. The street-cleaning forces
have been concentrated on the busi
ness district in an effort to prevent a
repetition of last Winter's experience.

The heaviest snow storm In 15 years

as the Evergreen Trail and In Wash
