The large force of railroad surveyors In the field between the Klickitat River Women Have Been Active in Cam paign Fate of Amendment to City Charter Uncertain Ke en II "Work Dwindles. TACOAIA, Wash., April 4- (Special.) - With election day almost here and tomorrow the last chance to repair any breaks in fences, no change is appar ent in the municipal campaign. Nor is there any change in the standing of the candidates, nine being in the field for the Mayoralty and 16 for the two Com mlssionerships. The polls will be open Tuesday. Indications, with good weather, presage a large vote of the registration of 26,265. The women have been taking considerable Interest in the campangn and have had numerous club meetings at which candidates have j appearaed before them. The women are likely to poll a good share of their registration of 10,144. Around the City Hall and in the clubs predictions are made freely that the race in Tuesday's primary w'U be be tween A. V. Fawcett, recalled two years ago chiefly because of his anti-treating ordinance, and Rev. C. P. W. Stoever. The Fawcett forces contend these are the two men before the voters at the final election April 21. Of the other seven candidates, Attorney Homer T. Bone. Socialist, is regarded as having a very fair chance, along with M. W. Greer, a real estate man. The rest of the field are listed as about 100-to-l shots. The nine Mayoralty candidates include, besides those named. Attorney H. P. Burdick, who is indorsed by the New Movement League; E. O. Heinrich, ex-City Chemist; G. J. Lang-ford and W. L, Klrby and Adam H. Barth, So cialist. Two Commissioners to be Chosen. , The two other offices to be filled Tuesday are Commissioner of Light and Water and Commissioner of Finance. There are 16 candidates in the field. Nicholas Lawson, candidate to succeed himself as Commissioner of Light and Water; W. A. Stewart, ex-County Au ditor; Hans E. Knatvold, a retired hard ware merchant; Charles D. Atkins, ex City Treasurer and office-seeker at al most every city election, and James C. Irake. are generally picked as the most likely winners. The others, each of whom has a small following, include Hamilton K. Groenen and A. L. Thorn, former employes under Commissioner Lawson; Dudley Eshelman, former member of the City Civil Service Board; Fred H. Pentecost, a lumberman; Jesse H. Read, former Police Chief and well known politician; R. A. B. Young, an employing printer, and August Einhaus. James Sutton, M. Parsons, Leif Lelfson and L. Percival, hardly known outside their immediate circles. The three charter amendments are all In doubt with probabilities expressed that the two-platoon system for the fire department will pass owing to the energetic campaign in its favor; that the proposed purchasing agent for city supplies will be adopted and that the civil service amendment will be de feated, chiefly owing to personal con duct of members of the present board, which his fathered the amendment. Only a few weeks ago the secretary of the board, who draws a salary of $100 a month, retired. J. S. Ellsworth, who was then president, an unsalaried of fice, had himself elected secretary, re tiring as president, and has since drawn the $100 monthly. Port Project Pushed. The liveliest campaign has been waged on the port district project and its outcome is entirely uncertain. The port district election will be county wide. Fathered by the Commercial flub, an energetic campaign has been made in its behalf. Candidates for port commissioner from the three dis tricts, one to be elected from each dis trict, include: First District W. H. Paulhamus and Henry Benthien. Second District Captain W. Frank Andrews and Edward Miller. Third District L. Y. Stayton and J. R. Turner. A new factor in the municipal situ ation developed the past week. The recall movement, backed chiefly by dis Biuntled discharged city employes, has well night petered out. Its promoters Insisting they purposed to let it rest until'after the primary election. This is the attack of Mayor Seymour, re tiring from office at this election, on Chief of Police Loomis. Mills' appointee, who has held office two years. The Mayor this week sent a letter to Com missioner Mills, given out for publica tion, in which he demanded the Com missioner discharge Loomis. The Mayor cited the record of Loomis at Belling ham. where Loomis was once game warden of Whatcom County and held some 1200 or ?300 several months after retiring from office before he turned it over to the county. There ' was a irrand jury inquiry at the time that de veloped nothing. HOUSE TO BE SHIPPED COAST LlSIbERMEN TO SHOW USES OF VARIOUS WOODS.

GILL HITS BRIDGES Mayor of Seattle Says City Should Not Copy Portland. LIFT STYLE PROHIBITIVE Executive, Recently Portland Visitor, Goes Home and Tells Citizens His Views on Luke "Wash ington Canal Crossways. SEATTLE. Wash., April 4. (Special.) After an inspection of the bridges of Portland, Mayor Gill, of Seattle, has an. nounced that he does not believe Se attle is justified in spending the money necessary for the construction of bridges over the Lake Washington Canal or the Duwamiah River. "I do not believe that Seattle is justified in adopting any of the Port land bridge fashions," said Mayor Gill upon his return from Portland." "It is a question in my mind whether or not the lift bridge would be adapt able to our canal needs for it costs too much and we are in no position to build a crossing of that type which would test. Wooden Bridges Advised. "In my opinion we should build tem porary wooden bridges and by the time these have worn out we will have established permanent grades, decided on the depth and width of our Lake Washington Canal and Duwamlsh Waterway and will know exactly what -ve want to last for all time. "It seems to me that the cost of the bridges of the type that Portland has built across the Willamette is prohibi tive. Possibly within a few years the grades will be changed or the people will find that traffic has been switched to new localities. We ought to be able to make changes to meet grade or traf fic conditions at a minimum of ex pense. "Whether or not the lift type of bridge will suit us is a serious ques tion. We must anticipate the future and it might be that after .we had Invested , a few million dollars in bridges we would discover that the channel had to be widened or deepened. Maybe the lift type would do and may be it would not. We face the same problematic condition with bascule bridges, or the jackknife type of cross ings. Extra Pay Necessary. "The swing bridge can be built by almost any contractor; the others are of a paterted type and if we adopted them we would have to pay extra for the privilege of introducing them. "I recognize the fact that the vote of the people in opposition to the pro posed bridge bonds does not settle the question of constructing bridges across the Lake Washington Canal and the Duwamlsh River. There may be, and possibly is, a serious difference of opinion as to where these bridges are to be located, but we must either con struct them some time or reconcile our selves to the idea of swimming across the waterways. We have started on the construction of these waterways and we must bridge then). "Personally I do not assume to know exactly what should be done, but I think that if we are to construct new bridges it would be an economical idea to build temporary structures and a few years later build to meet the grades which are to be permanent and to accommodate the largest centers of population. Aside from Montlake avenue, I personally do not know of a bridge that could be built now which would meet all future demands." Gill ARalnst Recalls. Mayor Gill had a number of im promptu conferences on recall and other strictly municipal political- con ditions. The Mayor is well known to be opposed to any recall moves against any official of any municipal corpora tion. In Portland there is a story afloat to the effect that recall petitions directed against Mayor H. R. Albee have been signed in sufficient numbers to evoke a recall election. "Don't do it." earnestly . advised Mayor Gill in' talking to a group of Portland business men yesterday. "I do not pretend to know anything of your local politics, but I do know this, that a recall fight would stir up local factions, affect business. social and political relations .and leave you, ir respective of ihe outcome, in a state of turmoil that it would require years of patient effort to efface. I don't know what the reason for the . agita tion against Mayor Albee may be. but even if the reason is a good one, you are better off to wait until his term of office expires than you would be to ex cite recall politics. "I have met and am glad I did meet Mayor Albee. To me he appears to be an earnest and capable public official. I haven't the faintest idea of what the objection to him may be. but he seems to me to have a grasp of public affairs in Portland that no novice could ob tain." M. M. Mattison. a Seattle newspaper man, who accompanied Mamr ran n his visit to Portland, in writing of the visit said: "On the whole the Gill trip has been remarkably clever bit of politics. Up home it may not be under stood, but Portland went to extreme limits to welcome Gill both as the man and the Mayor. He was enthusi astically applauded by two crowds that overflowed the halls in which he spoke. He was welcomed on his entrance to Portland by a band, civic authorities headed by the Mayor and rnmm,rHi bodies. He was escorted to the trann hen he left for Seattle todav bv a big crowd of Portland business men and Northwestern boosters. Gill planted in the Portland mlnM the idea that Seattle wants to and tries to work for the advancement of the entire Northwest. Probably nobody ever coming from Seattle succeeded so well in convincing Portland of this frt Certainly no individual ever coming from Seattle ever had such an enthusi astic reception as Gill has been given nere.

Fifth and Stark LAW HELD INVALID Corporation Requirement 1913 Knocked Out. of ASTORIA DECISION GIVEN Court Holds That to Compel Elimi nation or Word Co-operative Would Be Retroactive and in Violation of Contract. ASTORIA. Or.. April 4. (Special.) The act passed by the 113 legisla ture, compelling a firm or corporation. which is using the word "Co-operate" in its name and which is not strictly a co-operative association within the terms of the 1908 law. to change Its name within CO days after the 1913 act became operative, is unconstitutional. Such was the ruling today by Judge Eakin of the circuit court. The deci sion was In the friendly suit brought by H. M. Lorntsen. a stockholder in the company, to test the right of the Union fishermen's Co-operatlva Pack ing Company, to transact business un der its corporate name. It was based on the ground that the law being re troactive would impair an obligation of contract. It was also baaed on the fur ther ground that the enforcement of this law would Interfere with vested, rights such as good will. The defend ant's answer, submitted to the court today, asserts that the defendant com pany was incorporated In 189S and that the 1913 act is unreasonable, unjust and void: and that its enforcement would work injury to the defendant. It says the company is transacting an Average annual business of approx imately $750,000 and in all paxts of the world. During the time it has been in business the word "Co-operate" has become a trade name for it and to do away with that name would cause a loss of hundreds of thousands of dol lars. In explanation of this, the answer asserts that the defendant has thou sands of dollars' worth of labels and stationery, as well as several brands of canned salmon in which .the name "Co-operate" appears and the enforce ment of this law would render all of this valuable property worthless. The validity of the 1913 law is fur ther attacked on the ground that It does not require a co-operative asso ciation to use the word "Co-operative" in its name.
