OREQOXIAN Nirwg BUREAU. Wash
tngrton, Sept. . Party leaders In Con
arses ars awaiting with considerate
Interest returns from the special Con
gresslonal election that takes place In
the Third Mains district next Monday.
There Is a vacancy to be filled, caused
by tbs death of Representative Good
win. Republican, and three candidates.
a Republican, a Ixmocrat and a Pro
greselve. ars battling hard for the scat.
This is the first Congressional elec
tion held since ths Wilson Administra
tion came Into power, and because of
' this fact, and because of the extraor
dinary efforts put forth by all three
parties to carry this election, unusual
Interest centers around the contest.
Each of the three parties nominated
a strong candidate, and each has given
Its own candidate strong support. John
A. Peters, speaker of the Maine House
of Representatives, is the itepuoncan
candidate: William R. Pattangall.
' Mavor of Watervllle and a state leader.
. Is the Democratic candidate, and the
Progressives are supporting Edward
M. Lawrence, a Lubeo manufacturer of
some prominence in both business and
political circles.
Big Gliu Seat to State.
In the course of the campaign. Speak
er Clark made speeches in support of
Pattangall and Secretary or State Bry
an gave two days to the Maine cam
' palan.' Representative Gardner, of
Massachusetts, and Representative
Hawl-yv of Oregon, stumped the dls
trlct in behalf of Mr. Peters, and Rep
resentatlve Murdock, of Kansas, the
Bull Moose leader In the House of
Representatives, devoted several weeks
to the campaign in the interest of Mr.
Lawrence. There were other members
of Congress on the stump, sent there
bv their respective party leaders at
Washington, but the heavy guns were
those enumerated.
All three parties want to capture the
vacant seat from Maine, not because
one member, more or less, will help or
hinder any party in the House, but
because of the supposed political effect
of the victory. From the Democratic
viewpoint this campaign Is important,
for a Democratic victory would be
construed as an indication that the
Democratic tariff programme is ap
proved, even in an old-time Republl
can stronghold like Maine. Speaker
Clark and Secretary Bryan appealed to
the voters to roll up a big Democratic
plurality as an indication that the en
tire Wilson Administration Is approved
by the people.
The Third Maine district Is one that
refused to go Democratlo last Novem
ber, and normally Is Republican.
Fight Important te Moosers.
From the Bull Moose viewpoint the
Maine fight Is Important, for if the
third party candidate can win a vie
tory, while opposing both Democrats
and Republicans, the result could be
taken ss an indication that ths third
party movement ia not on the wan
at least. In Maine. Special elections
held elsewhere since last November have
shown a decided falling off In the Bull
Moose vote; in some instances the third
party strength has been almost nil,
compared with the vote in November. If
the Third Maine district will turn out
a large vote for Lawrence, there will
be joy in the hearts of Bull Moosers.
even though their man Is not elected.
Incidentally, there will be some slight
Joy In the Bull Moose camp if Law
rence deflects enough votes to throw
the victory to the Democrats
The presence of a third party candi
date at this time has given the Demo
rrats considerable encouragement, for
they figure be will divide the Repub
lican vote and may deflect enough
votea to. Insure the election of the
Democratic candidate. The presump
tion Is that the fight lies between the
Republican and the Democrat, with
the prospect favoring the Democrats In
event the third party ticket receives
upwards of 1000 votes. There is no ex
pectation that the third party candi
date can win.
FARM AID IS PLANNED
EXPERIMENTAL- GAItDEX PRO
POSED AT MARSHFTELD.
With Increased Population Ranch,
era Are Not Providing Sufficient
Vegetables for Home Market.
MARSHF1ELD. Or.. Sept. t (Spe
cial.) An experiment garden and farm
for instructing Coos County ranchers
In Intensive farming is proposed by the
Marshfleld Chamber of Commerce. Al
fred Mining, who hat been conducting
one In Michigan. Is here and will prob
ably start it.
The 'plan Is to establish an experi
ment station of 10 acres on which
various vegetables and ftowera will be
grown. This will demonstrate the best
varieties and furnish considerable of
the seed for the ranches around here.
Mr. Mitting. In addition to supervising
the experiment farm, will make trips
among tha ranchers, showing them and
teaching them how to handle the va
rious vegetables and flowers.
While the experiment farm has not
been determined on. It la proposed to
have it located near this city, where it
will be easily accessible to ranchers
when they come to town.
For years, dairying has been the
principal source of Income for the
rancher, thia being the quickest and
surest money on the farm. However,
with the rapid increase in population,
there Is not enough fruit and vege
tables produced here to supply the
home market. Formerly, the excess
production, owing to lack of transpor
tation facilities, was practically a loss.
With a home market, it Is declared
that gardening can be developed profit
ably. It is also proposed to arrange
for canneries to care for possible ex
cess production.

DALLAS. Or,- Sept. 6. (Special.)
With 10 blocks of hard-surface pave
ment constructed and the necessity of
Installing a street-cleaning department
at once and of soon changing the en
tire sewerage outlet system of the city.
and with the city's finances at a low
ebb on account of the numerous Im
provements of the year, the City Coun
cil faces a critical situation.
With a charter provision such as
ihould only be found In village charters,
limiting the indebtedness of the city to
J5000. the 'city dads" are at a loss to
know lust how to proceed In the matter,
Attempts to amend the charter in the
past so as to increase this indebtedness
limitation have failed by reason of
petty political differences, and now the
cltv Is suffering.
However, the present City Council
is composed of business men and it is
confidently believed that they will lind
a way out of the perplexing situation.
It is planned to make the City Mar
shal the street commissioner, and chief
of the street-cleaning department, and
to provide him with a helper who will
be made a deputy policeman. At nrsi.
It is planned to use hand sweepers.
With reference to the change in the
sewerage system. Dr. Calvin S. White
of the State Board of Health, met with
the Council at Its meeting recently and
recommended the construction of septic
tanks at a cost of approximately 3000.
It is proposed to erect two tanks at
the present outlet of the sewer. The
sewage will enter the first tank and
after passing through a number of
colls, enters the second tank. There it
passes through tha same process. The
tanks will be so arranged that the
flow can go back and forth from tank
to tank until It Is well filtered. It
then flows into the first gravel bed,
where it again goes through a process
of filtering. .The last treatment of the
sewage is in a second gravel bed, and
when it comes from this bed it is as
near pure as possible. Demonstrators
of the tank have drunk water coming
from the last gravel bed.
These recommendations of Dr. White
met with the approval of the Council,
and Just as soon as possible tha city
will proceed to install this system. The
work will probably not Be attempted
until next Spring owing to the pros
pects for bad weather during tha Fall
and Winter months.
