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. On Twenty
fifth street, the dividing line between
the low rate given downtown close to
the fire station and the more remote
sections of the city, a man . on one
side of the street pays $11 a year per
$1000, while the man across the street
pays $29 for the same Insurance under
the same exposures.
All companies writing insurance in
Vancouver use the standard of the rat
ing bureau. The rates In the down
town district were recently reduced,
while in "Greater Vancouver" they were
increased considerably.

MR. STEVENS MAY RESIGN
OFFICE OF STATE FIRE MARSHAL.
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.

Yesterday all of Oregon was asked
to aid in saving the lives of the starv
ing children of Belgium.
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.

COOS GOAL LAUDED
Mines at Riverton Are Said to
Be Excellent.
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.
They have been held back by trouble

the mine, but are gradually gettlntr

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.

good, otherwise it may prove worse
than useless. I have used Nuxated
Iron widely in my own practice in most
severe aggravated conditions with un
failing results. I have induced many
other physicians to give it a trial, all
of whom have given me most surpris
ing reports in regard to its great power
as a health and strength builder.
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. I have taken
it myself and given It to mv pa
tients with most surprising and sat
isfactory results. And those who
wish quickly to increase their
strength, power and endurance will
find it a most remarkable and won
derfully effective remedy."
