16 WILL H. WARREN IS III MAYORALTY RAGE Mayor's Secretary First to Cast Hat in Ring, but Large Field Expected. BOND ISSUES IMPORTANT Commissioners Baker and Daly Re garded as Certain to Enter Lists. Mr. Dieck to Be Candi date for Ke-election. Wfth the legislative session over and the political spotlight unengaged, the campaign for the city election, June 4, has opened. Will H. Warren, secre tary to Mayor Albee. fired the opening gun yesterday when he announced him self as a candidate for Mayor. Other aspirants for Mayor and for the com missionershlps now held by Commis sioners Daly and Dieck are expected in the open within a short time. Mr. Warren is the only avowed can didate so far, but the murmurings of those who are "being urged by their friends" are being heard on every side. The voters, in addition to electing a Mayor at $6000 a year, will elect two Commissioners at 15000 a year each. There will also be many measures to settle, including a brilliant array of bond issues aggregating somewhere between $13,000,000 and $15,000,000. Mr. Daly Probability. For Mayor it is expected City Com missioner Daly will soon Jump into the ring. He is passing through the "being-urged-by-friends" period now, and has launched his municipal street lighting plan, which he is counting on for the backbone of his campaign. He is not publicly saying yet that he will be a candidate, but generally 'it is believed he will. Commissioner Baker is a prospect still. He hasn't announced himself, and has not agreed to run, but City Hall dopesters say it probably will not re quire much crowding to force him into the race. A. G. Rushlight, ex-Mayor, is being mentioned as in a receptive mood when the subject of running is broached. Some others mentioned are "W". F. Woodward, S. C. Pier and r.alph Hoyt. Mayor Albee will not be a candi date for re-election or at least he says so in about that many words. He qualifies the assertion with the statement ' that he cannot imagine any condition that might cause him to run again, but if conditions should shape themselves so that his running would have to come as a matter of vindica tion to himself he might get in the running. Mr. Dieck to Ron A pain. For the posts held by Commissioners Daly and Dleck there will be a good sized field for the voters to draw from, judging from prospects. City Treas urer Adams and City Auditor Barbur are certain to be candidates. Com missioner Dieck will seek re-election, wh.il Mr. Daly is .expected to aspire to advancement to, the mayoralty. Others on Dame Rumor's list are J. R. Wood, ex-city purchasing agent; George S. Shepherd, O. Laur gaard, George W. Caldwell and A. H. Averill. None of them has announced his candidacy as yet. The terms of Commissioners Daly and Dieck expire July 1, each having served four years. Of the city bond issu .' the largest will be that proposed by Commissioner Daly of $1,777,000 to cover part of the cost of installing a municipal lighting plant. A strong campaign is to be made in behalf of this measure by Mr. Daly and others, including some of the labor leaders. Other bond issues on the ballot for the city will be $100,000 for purchase of playground property' in Marquam Gulch, $75,000 for establishment of a municipal garbage collection system. The garbage collection measure will involve also a large annual expenditure from general taxation. Then there will be the issue of a two-platoon (two shift) system in the fire bureau in volving a yearly outlay of from $200, 000 to $300,000 from general taxation. Limit Not Fur Off. On the ballot also will be the ques tions of $6,000,000 In road bonds to be financed by automobile licenses; $2,979,973 for ship subsidies; $2,000,000 or. more for grain elevators; $400,000 for a new penitentiary, $18,000 to $21,000 increased pay of legislators, and other measures involving expenditures of uncertain amounts. If the city of Portland . adopts the power plant issue and others to be voted on of a purely local nature, the city will be close to its bonded in debtedness limit. The bonded debt is now $17,000,000 in round numbers, with $21,000,000 as the debt limit. Jitney legislation will be up in some form or other. The Jitney Drivers' Union will seek to have their business opened up without regulation by the City Council. The Council has granted franchises to Stephen Carver for a city-wide jitney service, with all the Council's regulations and with a trans fer system in addition. It is expected the Jitney Drivers' Union will invoke the referendum on this franchise so that these franchises will be an issue at the election. Although there has been much talk of attempts to overthrow commission government in Portland, nothing in the way of a proposed new charter has been pu out in the open yet. It is said anti-commission government peo ple are still busy on a charter to submit to the voters. INSURANCE MEN COMPLAIN Disparity In Rates at Vancouver, Wash., Is Charged. VANCOUVER, Wash., Feb. 23. (Spe cial.) Insurance men in Vancouver are complaining of the alleged disparity In fire insurance rates in Vancouver fol lowing changes made by the Washing ton rating bureau recently.

SAID TO BR OFFERED. Other Portland Firemen May be Taken for Places Created by Recent Legislative Session. Portland is again in danger of losing Jay Stevens, fire marshal, for it Is understood he is being urged to accept the post of state fire marshal, just created by the Legislature. The place carries a salary of $2400 a year and two deputies, each of whom receive $1800, are provided. He is expected to decide the matter today. Pressure is being brought to bear upon Mr. Stevens by many who are anxious to see him accept, believing he is admirably fitted to fill the nw position throughout the state. Should he decline the position, it is understood that two other men, both of them capable, have been named in this connection. These are Tom Graham, chief of the ' Corvallis Fire Department, and William Groce, cap tain in the Portland Fire Bureau. Either of these, it is declared, could be counted on to give an efficient ad ministration and to do much along lines of fire prevention throughout the state. Gilbert Allen, of Portland, has been named as a likely appointee as one of the two deputies. For the other position, two Port land fire captains are being considered. George Johnson and Fred Roberts are said to be well fitted for the position. KELSO GARDENS PROPOSED List of Lots That Can Be Planted to Vegetables Being Made. KELSO, Wash., Feb. 24. (Special.) On account of the high prices for po tatoes, onions and other vegetables there is much agitation in Kelso at this time for the planting of home gardens on vacant lobs. Cashier Stewart, of the Kelso State Bank, has taken the lead by offering to donate all vacant lots owned by the bank for this use. Other property owners have likewise signified their willingness to donate the use of their vacant lots, and Mayor Ballard is taking steps to get- a list and through him the lots will be dis tributed to applicants.

The newspapers, commercial clubs. Chamber of Commerce and all schools were asked to Join in the movement. In a letter sent out by J. E. Werlein, chairman of the Belgian children's food fund committee of the Progressive Business Men's Club, It was urged that all these forces Join In the collec tion of sums of money of any denom ination, and that remittances be made immediately. Mr. Werlein showed that the relief committee could feed a Bel gian child one month for $1. or a little more than 3 cents & day. The letter also emphasized the fact that the great prosperity that has come to the farmers, th wneat men, the stockmen and the people of Oregon generally was based on the war prices received by Oregonians for their prod ucts. He asked these growers to chip in a few of theLr dollars to feed the hungry little people of the country that was unfortunate enough to be in the pathway of the warring nations. "HuDKrf" and "Starving;" Separated. Mr. Werlein dwelt strongly on the fact that officers were distinguishing between the "hungry children" and the "starving children" of Belgium. Of ficers go down the breadline to pick out those children who are strongest, because there is not food enough for all. Next Sunday, March 4, has been fixed as the day for making a special effort in the churches to secure a large fund for the relief of Belgian children. On that day priest and preacher will be asked to unite their efforts in the common cause, to speak from their ros trums for the lives of the little folk and to secure large contributions. In the meantime a committee of 41 has been organized by the Progressive Business Men from its membership. Each committee is composed of 10 members, and throughout the city 410 stations have been selected for the lo cation of subscription papers. No sta tion is more than three blocks from the center of any district. Aid of Pupil Sought. This week the Portland School Board Is to be asked to turn loose the pupils of the public schools to secure funds for food for the little kiddles of Bel gium. The schools will be asked to designate the number of children it thinks it can provide food for during a five months' period, and to then raise the money. It may be contributed from savings accounts, raised by en tertainments, or secured through doing odd Jobs of labor. The committee has suggested that schools might follow some of the fol lowing Ideas: Arrange to sell provisions for some business house, taking a commission on each order. Selling newspapers. Theatrical performances. Obtaining permission from City Council to operate 1000 autos as Jit neys for one day and putting every auto obtainable in the service. Shoveling snow. J. E. Werlein is chairman of the committee of the Progressive Business Men's Club, and remittances should be made to S. L. Eddy at the Ladd & Til- ton Bank. Credit will be given each community, club, school or person who makes a contribution. The contributions yesterday reached a total of $303.91.

PRODUCT IS EXTENSIVE Properties- Located on South Bank or Coquillc River, Are Declared to Contain About 15,000,000 Tons of Lignite Coal. ' BY ADD1SOX BENNETT. Almost a quarter of a century ago a coal mine known as the ilcGee mine was opened at Riverton, a little town' on the south bank of the Coquille River, in Coos County, about 15 miles above Bandon and eight miles below the town of Coquille. This mine has practically been in operation ever since, furnishing: one of the best fuel coals of that section. A few years later an adjacent mine, known as the Kay mine, was opened, which has about the same quality of coal. Last September both of these mines and much of the ad joining: property was purchased by W. S. Hall and associates and were in corporated under the name of the Riv erton Fuel Company. Mr. Hall, who is at the Imperial Hotel, la a mining: engineer who has traveled in almost all parts of the world, and has mined extensively In South America, Mexico. Australia. South Africa and In various parts of the United States, especially In Colo rado. Coal Deposit Large. There Is an area in. the properties of about 600 acres, supposed to con tain something: like 15,000,000 tons of a fine quality of ligrnlte fuel coal. It burns free, makes practically no smoke and Is said to be one of the cleanest coals on the market. Since the pur chase the concern has been Incorpo rated as the Riverton Fuel Company, with offices at Riverton and In Port land. Before beginning: actual mining: on a commercial basis the new company practically rebuilt everything in con nection with the mine, both on the surface and below ground. . Since the advent of the new railroad from Eu gene to Marshfield, which connects with the former road running: from Marshfield to Powers, the company has been shipping: several carloads a day by rail, besides supplying: the local mar ket along: the Coquille River and the towns of Marshfield and North Bend.

There has been a good deal of talk Irtely about Building a boat at Ban don to ply between the Coquille and Portland. A number of Portland peo ple, as well as Bandon people, are in terested in this venture, and a site for a shipyard is being located at Bandon. where it is expected the boat will be built. The Riverton Fuel Company has guaranteed that in the event a vessel is built to carry not to exceed 600 tons that they will give such vessel a full return cargo of coal to that amount every week, or about 4000 tons a month. A good deal of their coal is now coming to Portland. Bandon Bar Deepened. That Inducement ought to go a long way toward making the building of such a vessel practically a certainty. But aside from that the Riverton com pany has subscribed to the stock of the shipbuilding concern. There Is an abundance of water over the Bandon bar and dredging now going on will give 16 feet of water in the Coquille as far up as Coquille. The purchase and rehabilitation of these mines by the new company and its operation on a larce scale is one of the results rrought about by the building of the new road by the South ern Pacific Company.

I have used Nuxated Iron widely in my own practice in most severe aggravated conditions with un failing results.

Many an athlete and prizefighter has won the day simply because he knew the secret of great strenKth and endur ance and fi led his blood with iron be fore he went into the affray; while many another has gone down In inglo rious defeat simply for the lack of iron." Dr. Howard James, late of the United States Public Health Service, said. "I have never before given out anv medical In formation or advice for publication, as I ordinarily do not believe In It. But so many American women suffer from iron deficiency with its attendant ills physical weakness, nervous irritabllitv. . melancholy, indigestion, flabbv. sag ging muscles, etc. and in consequence . of their weakened run-down condi tion they are so liable to contract serious and even fatal diseases that i aeem it my duty to advise all such to take Nuxated Iron.
