Mayor Rushlijrht will not admit it,
but he Is poing; to be a candidate for
re-election, if his friends' activity indt
te anything. They are out in force all
over the city, pointing out his merits
and calling attention to the thlncrs they
t pay. he has done for the general wel
T fare while occupying the executive
chair.
In fact, the Mayor's attitude In re
fusing to announce his candidacy Is the
thing that is perplexing his opponents.
They cannot understand what he hopes
to gain by holding hack so long, while
Gay Lombard and James Magulre,
vowed candidates, are out In the open
find care not mho knows it. What the
Mayor can hope to gain by withholding
tils candidacy, they cannot figure. Mean,
while, it is certain that the Rushlight
adherents are out In force. In all sec
tions of the city, doing all they can to
ptiow the voters that he has made good
as Mayor.
The Mayor himself !s to be found at
bis desk In the City Hall nearly all of
the time, except when he Is out of the
office on official business, and when
persons call to ask him whether he
's going to run again, he simply ex
plains that he does not know; that he
Is busy with his work and has not
decided as yet.
Clyde In FoMlhllltr.
Whether there will be any other can
didates for Mayor. Is a thing: that Is
being discussed. There is a rumor that
Ralph C. Clyde, a member of the City
Council and late candidate for Con
gress, may run. He is now in Southern
California" for his health, butwill be
back in the near future.
Not a solitary Democrat has. as yet,
made an appearance to announce him
self for the race for Mayor. It has
been said that the Democrats will have
a full ticket in the field, but they have
not. so far as can be learned, decided
on any candidates as yet.
Pan Keliaher, ex-Councilman. Dock
Commissioner and State Senator. Is said
to be preparing to make the race for
the Mayoralty on the Progressive ticket.
It is said that the Progressives intend
to make a try for several of the city
offices this Spring.

and George B. Thomas. In addition,
Burt C. Jones, at present a deputy in

WATERWAYS PLANS FIXED
April Convention in Pendleton to
See Northwest Clubs Represented.
LEWISTON. Idaho. Jan. 25. (Spe
cial.) Plans for the fourth annual con
vention of the Columbia-Snake River
waterways convention, which will be
held in Pendleton, April 14, are now be
ing prepared by Wallace R. Struble,
secretary of the association. In pre
paring for this event Mr. Stroble will

entire Northwest- Publicity literature
in preparation for the convention will

of the Inland Empire of the necessity
of improvements on the Snake and
Columbia rivers and the completion of
the Ialles-Celilo canal.
Action has already been taken by the
Waterways Association memorializing
Congress to appropriate the needed
$l.4rto.O0O for the immediate and unob
structed completion of the canal. By
appropriating this sum at this session.
Major Morrow, in charge of the work,
says that he will be able to complete
the canal earlier than was estimated,

nw PPROXIMATELY $1600 a year Is
the amount saved to school dls-
trlct No. 1 by the woodworking
department of the Portland School of
Trades, for furniture, patterns, demon
stration models and Instruments for
the different departments of the school.
The fact that such a department Is
largely "self-supporting" is not always
well understood by the general public,
but there Is no doubt of the real econ
omy for the taxpayer which is going
hand in hand with the best sort of
training for the students.
The teaching Is of tne most progres
sive and practical sort. "Construction
for instruction not instruction for con
struction" is the aim. It is the growth
In ability on the part of the student
rather than mere shop output wnicn
must be the main concern of any
technical school, but where the products
of training can be turned to good ac
count, as in the Portland School of
Trades, the public Is the gainer in at
least two ways; while the completion
of the school "project" gives the stu
dent an increase of interest in his work
and of confidence in his possibilities.
Large Work Keara Completion.
One of the advanced projects in pattern-making,
now nearing completion,
Is a horizontal slide valve steam
engine, which will weigh about 13o0
pounds. This engine will be added to
the scientific department of the school.
It was entirely designed and calculated
by the pattern department. It will de
velop 6.7-horsepower with 70 pounds
pressure to the square inch, making loO
revolutions per minute, to be operated
from an air compressor, also built by
the students.
The pattern shop has also made prep
aration to begin work on a two-unit
electric plant, consisting of a 70-horse-power,
four-cycle, four-cylinder gas
engine directly connected to a 80-kilo-watt.
four-pole generator. This plant
is intended to light the prospective,
new Trade School building. The under
taking of problems of this nature is
an essential part of the training of a
successful artisan, and the result will
have a considerable financial value as
well.
In the cabinet-making department 12
patternmakers' work benches are being
constructed at a cost of $19.50 each (in
cluding the purchase of Emerson's uni
versal vise). If purchased in the open
market these benches would cost $56
each, so that there is a saving of $432.30
on this part of the necessary school
equipment. Sixteen work desks have
been made for the millinery department,
at a cost of $4.60 each. They could not
be purchased for less than $12 each, so
here is another saving, this year, of
HIS. 40. Besides these items there are
records of 12 work tables, of instru
ment and supply cabinets, chairs, book
cases and other necessary school fur
niture. The school furnishes all the tools
and the materials, and all products are
the property of the school. In some
Instances the students pay for the ma
terial used. Two enthusiastic boys, for
example, are at present making Morris
chairs for home use. putting In extra
time and paying for all material they
use. Thus there is no waste, nor any
difficulty in disposing of the "product"
as is the case in some schools of this
kind.
The School of Trades Is said to have
been instrumental in bringing a great
industry to Portland, by the making of
the first automobile cylinder pattern, in
the city. It seems that the foundries
were not prepared to moke castings of
this nature ami there was trouble with
leakage as the metal was too porous.
Now no less than three foundries make
a specialty of casting auto and motor
cylinders.
The wood-working department has
grown in four years from its first
term's enrollment of to its present
strength of 90 day and evening stu
dents. All the graduates and those
who have received certificates are
working successfully at their respec
tive trades. Two have become fore
men in shops, four are engaged in
technical teaching and several have
started In business for themselves.
There are always many more appli
cations for graduates than the depart
ment can fill. Some even of the sec
ond year students have been placed in
good positions, although it is not the
policy of the school, except in rare
cases, to recommend students for a po
sition before they have successfully
finished the course. Besides the strict
ly technical work, the graduates are
expected to have a fair command of
English, and to know enough of math
ematics, drawing and science to insure
intelligent and progressive workman
ship. The course offers a fine opportunity
for any earnest. Industrious boy who
wishes to make one or tne wooa-worn-ing
trades an integral part of his edu
cation and training for life and citi
zenship. Any boy is eligible who has
completed the grammar grades, or who
Is 14 years of age or over ana aoie to
profit bv the instruction given.
J. H. Klein, the head of the wood
working department, is a man of wide
experience, as well as a capable teach
er. He has been In charge of several
large manufacturing establishments,
has proved his ability In systematizing
plants, and knows every phase of the
work under his direction.' He is ably
assisted by B. Kuhns, a graduate ot
the School of Trades.
The shoproom has been recently en
larged, so that a greater number ot
students may be accommidated during
the coming semester, which begins
February 10.

PRISONER'S WIFE ASKS AID
Seeks to Have Guardian Xamed for
Husband and Property.
Alleging . that her husband, who is
serving. a 90 days' sentence on the
rockpile, imposed when he was found
guilty of beating her, has instructed
bis tenants to pay rent to no one but
himself, Hermine Schtewe has appealed
to the County Court for the appoint
ment of a guardian of the person and
estate of Adolph Schiewe.
She says that her husband owns
three houses and that his refusal to
allow her to collect the rent has oper
ated to leave her destitute. Mrs.
Schiewe asserts that her husband is so
addicted to intoxicants as to be in
capable of competently managing his
own affairs.
Judge Cleeton has cited Schiewe to
make a showing on February S why
the prayer of the petition should not
be granted. This is about the time
his sentence will expire.
Schiewe, who Is a cement contractor,
married a woman with 18 children, bis
present wife. He was first arrested at
the instigation of his wife and one of
his brothers, and drew a suspended sen
tence. A few days later he was ar
rested again and sent to Kelly Butte

sent a man with him to collect his
rents, the money which his wife wants
for her support.
Fraud Charge Not Upheld.
Due to an incorrect entry on the
docket in Circuit Judge Kavanaugh's
court it was stated yesterday morning
that findings had been made for the
plaintiff in the case of John Wrassell
against George McCroskey. a suit to
set aside the sale of a Hawthorne-avenue
garage on the ground of fraud.
The plant was purchased for $3500 by
Wassell, who gave $2000 in money and
a chattel mortgage on the garage and
its equipment for the balance. Judge
Kavanaugh not only found that there
was not sufficient evidence to justify
him in holding that there had been
fraud, but found that McCroskevs
mortgage on the garage should be
foreclosed.

SUNDAY BILL PROTESTED
SEVENTH D-VS ADVENTISTS
PASS RESOLUTION'S.
Measure Is Declared Religious and
First Step Toward Undesirable
Union of Church and State.
At the meeting at the Central Seventh
Day Adventist Church yesterday reso
lutions were adopted remonstrating
against the proposed Sunday legisla
tion now before Congress. The resolu
tions were brought before the congre
gation by Milton H. St. Johns, pastor
of the church, and were passed unani
mously. Thev. read as follows:
"Whereas, the Johnston Sunday bill.
now pending in the Senate of the
United States, Is religious in its charac
ter in that it is designed to foster the
religious ODservance ot ounaay; ua
"Whereas, the exception clause at
tached to one of the sections of the bill
indicates most clearly its religious
character, by exempting from the ap
plication of this section those wno
hoinno- to a religious society which ob
serves some other day of the week than
Sunday as a Sabbath; and
"Whereas, religious legislation is
contrary both to the spirit and letter of
the Constitution of the United States,
and if carried to its logical conclusion
means a union of church and state, and
the persecution of dissenters; therefore
be It
"Resolved, that we respectfully, but
earnestly remonstrate against the pass
age of this bill, or any bill requiring
the observance of Sunday as a rest day,
which may come before the Senate."
Similar resolutions were passed In
every one of the 2000 Seventh Day Ad
ventist Churches in the United States.
Mr. St. Johns said that Seventh Day
Adver.tists are vigorously opposed to
the Johnston Sunday bill because they
fear its passage would be the first step
toward the union of church and state.
In giving further reasons why his
denomination is opposed to Sunday
legislation, he said:
"Our denomination has always stood
for entire separation of church and
state, and has earnestly opposed all at
tempts at religious legislation. Sunday
laws we believe to be religious laws;
therefore we are uncompromisingly
opposed to all legislation in behalf of
Sunday observance. Sunday is a relig
ious institution; its observance is a re
ligious act; a law enforcing that ob
servance Is a religious law; therefore
we believe It should not exist in this
country. We would be nncompromls-

to give them free, with the understand
ing that the recipient buys from us
four new music rolls each month for

manufacture of music rolls has been
such that the average price of the

now. Here Is the opportunity for
many a public institution, also for
many a lodge. Sunday school or church,
or public school, or any other organi
zation to secure a Pianola so as to
have good music available at any and
all times.
The distribution of these Pianolas
should be of special benefit to public

public places the presence of a cabi

However, the Pianola will go free to
any and all applicants first come, first

CAT MARKET IS LIVELY
BUYERS ARE MANY AS FELINE
SHOW COMES TO END.
Estimate Is .20.000 Visited Show
and Numerous Would-Bo Buyers
Go Away Unsatisfied.
Until the last moment people were
thronging to see the closing day of the
championship show .taged by the Ore
gon Cat Club, and It was a dlfttcult mat
ter to elbow through the crowd that
gathered particularly about the cham
pionship cats and a few of the noted
local animals. About 20.000 have paid
a visit to the Meier & Frank store Just
to see the exhibit.
One of the features of the show has
been the demand for cats, marked for
sale. Prize kittens and ordinary cats
fetched good prices throughout the
show, and as one prominent member of
the committee remarked, "If I had kit
tens here. I could sell them at $10
apiece as fast as I could take them out
of the pen."
Among the local cats which attracted
much attention were those exhibited by
the various houses of the Are depart
ment, among whose members there is
the keenest rivalry, while a splendid
tabby cat with seven kittens was the
center' of a host of admirers, as also
were two little white kittens, entitled
"Twins." These were for sale, and the
Inquiries for them were numerous, on
account of their golden eyes. In spite
of the fact that they wps a cross be
tween Angora and Maltese, they took
second prize In the open, which almost
caused their owner, Mrs. E. Atwood, of
Tremont. to refuse to sell them.
During the afternoon, John E. How
ard, the energetic president of the club,
distributed the numerous cups and
prizes and rl boons. .
