From a political standpoint, the
two best offices within the gift of
the United States senators In Oregon
are collector of Internal revenue and
United States marshal. This may be
one reason why Senators McXary and
fitanfield are in no hurry about mak
ing a selection, or rather In arriving
at an agreement
The collector of Internal revenue
lias a large staff, mostly under civil
service, and therefore not to be dis
turbed by a change in administration.
The office, however, also has a num
ber of men who roam the state in
connection with the Income tax ami
other matters. These roving men of
the collector of internal revenue, if
selected with a view to political acu
men, as well as fitness for their
sworn duties, can be organized into
a. band o,f good propagandists.
McXary Sees Value.
In like manner the marshal has a
force of deputies who are always
moving over the state, either serving
subpenas, getting witnesses or con
veying prisoners. For political pur
poses, the marshal's office is even
more Ideal than that of collector of
customs. A deputy marshal can
sound out public sentiment on trains,
boats and In hotel lobbies, particu
larly in the email-town Inns, where
most of the nights on the road are
passed when a deputy is away from
the headquarters.
Being up for renominatlon and re
election before his colleague. Senator
SffcXary Is not unaware of the advan
tages accruing from having friendly
occupants in the posts of collector
and marshal.
Drys Not Much Help.
Of course. In the prohibition en
forcement department there are also
wanderers over the state, but owing
to the character of their occupation,
a federal liquor hunter is not likely
to make friends the way a deputy
marshal can. The chances are that
eny candidate advocated by a prohl
tion agent would find such support
more of a liability than an asset.
For building up a nice little polit
ical machine the office of marshal is
full of possibilities and opportunities.
This fact is not being overlooked by
the senators. It may, in a measure,
account for the senators each having
a personal choice for head of the
office.
In political circles It Is the belief
that no matter who is successful in
winning the appointment as marshal,
he will not have a free hand In the
elections of his deputies. The new
marshal may be accorded the privi
lege of appointing his chief deputy,
but that will be about the limit. As
for the remaining deputies, the boys
who are to go out among 'em and
spread the good word, the marshal
may be handed a list of a dozen or
more and instructed to make his se
lections from this list.
Back AIho Can Be Passed.
Euch a plan has its advantages to
the sponsors for the marshal's ap
pointment; said sponsors can thus
recommend all of the best of the good
applicants and those who are not re
warded can be informed that the ap
pointment of deputies was marto h
the marshal, although the disappoint
ed ones were highly recommended by
the senator or senators, as the case
may be.
Such field deputies as the collector
of Internal revenue may have to ap
point can be handled In & similar
manner.
All told, the deputies In the two
establishments who take to the road
can become very effective in aiding
the political fortunes of a candidate
and at the same time without being
accused of pernicious political ac-

Late Returns on Ballot of Prop

At 10 o'clock tomorrow morning in
the chambers of the city council th

which a controversy has raged. Is -due
to come up for final settlement.
Late returns on the ballot being
taken among property owners af

showed a slight lead In favor of those
who desire to have the project car
ried through.
Last night, with 2000 ballots count
ed, those supporting the sewer were
in the lead by 100 votes. The bal
lot'ng closed yesterday, but all votes
received today bearing the postmark
of yesterday will be counted in the
contest.
A scheme submitted to the council
bf George Eae for the opponents to
the sewer was declared impractical
yesterday by City Engineer Laur
gaard. Kae s plan was to leave
parkway In the middle of the street,
with pavement on both sides. The
tracks of the Mt. Scott carline would
be laid In this parkway, according to
Rae's diagram. Eventually the sewer
zor sanitary purposes could be con
structed in this parkway, Kae main
tained, drainage being effected in an
other way under his plan.

indefinite period when we eventually
