STANDARD OIL COMPANY (Incorporated) TRIAL TAMMANY BRAVES Preparing for Grand Sortee to Denver IT WILL BE A $100,000 TRIP New York City rt Dealers Growing Rich Through Misrepresentation Interesting Topics of the Eastern Metropolis. NEW YORK, May J7 AhhouKli the skyscrapers is the distinctive feature of New ork architecture and this city possesses the tallest building in the world, with the new 680 foot Me tropolitan tower at the head of the list, a vigorous warfare on this class of structure has been begun here. Ac cording to its opponents the sky scraper's list ' sins is a long one. It adds to the congestion of the streets, already a very serious problem in the downtown district. It shuts off light and air from other buildings while creating tremendous drafts through the canyon like depths that arc form ed by its walls. The fifty-story build ing is uneconomic, it is said, because of the increased cost of construction to provide against tremendous strains and wind pressure. Fire depart ments officials declars that a con flagration live hundred feet above the street level cannot be fought succcs- fully with any apparatus yet devised. To the claim that these buildings are proof against fire, they point to the recent destruction of the Parker building which was supposed to he an excellent example of fire proof con struction. A number of civic organi zations have adopted resolutions against the erection of any more buildings of enormous height. Cur iously enough one of the most active oppoments of the skyscraper is the architect of the Singer building, who is responsible for several of the struc tures against which he protests. Now the novelists have taken a hand in the agitation and in a story printed in the June number of Appleton's a convinc ing picture is given of a daring band of criminals who hold up the whole city by taking possession of the top floors of a skyscraper and arming themselves with high explosives. While this possibility may be disre garded as a practiced danger, it has been pointed out often by millitary experts that New York's soa'ng buildings would afford a fine target for the long range guns of a hostile fleet and that tJie whole lower city could easily be reduced to ruins in case of war. If this is true the idea of the Appleton writer may itit be so fanciful as it seems. At any rate there is a rising slogan which declares that while the skyscraper need not go more of the most extreme kind shall come. New York has had a bridge scarce this week, caused by the report that the new Blackwcll's Island Bridge across the East' River was overloaded and likely to collapse in the same manner as the great Quebec bridge which fell last year and which was the same type of structure. The Brooklyn and Williamsburg bridges are both of the suspension variety but this new structure is a cantilever. It is not yet completed but so far has cost the city about six and a quarter million dollars and it is estimated that a million and a half more will be needed to finish it. The prospect of seeing all this wealth fall into the East River naturally does not appeal to the overburdened metropolitan tax payers, to say nothing of the loss of that would result. The charges that the bridge is in a dangerous condition are made by engineers and other en gineers, employed by the city, are now making an investigation. Periodi cally there is alarm over the safety of the older bridges. These contain at certain hours of the day from ten to twenty thousand persons at one time and if ene of them were to fall it would be one of the greatest catas trophes in the history of the country. European hotels are becoming Americanked and are approaching more and more closely to the New York model in size and luxurious equipment. That at least is the state ment of Herr Adlon of Berlin who is described as the foremost hotelkeeper of Europe and who enjoys the friend ship and patronage of the Kaiser. Herr Adlon has just given his name to the largest and most fashionable hotel in Germany and is visiting the principal cities of the United States to obtain tew ideas for his establish tiieut. One feature in which he points out that the influence of American travellers is shown is that the most up-to-date European hotel devote much space to the lobby and to public lounging places than formerly. Other American improvements such as tele phones in every room have been in troduced while every big hotel of re cent construction have its American bar presided over by a mixologist im ported from New York. In one re spect, however, 1 Terr Adlon insists that continental hotels are still ahead of the majority of those in America and that is in the quality of the cook ing. If Europe finds it necessary to import American bartenders the Unit d States is compelled to import French and German chefs so that honors are easy in this respect. New York is now the gateway for more than a third of all the grain which is exnorted from the United States. This fact comes as a sur prise to many persons who were not aware of the big part that this city plays in the agriculturcl business of the country. The statement is sup ported by government statistics, how ever. Reports of the Department of Commerce and Labor show that over li 10,000,000 bushels of grain are now received at this port every year for consumption and shipment abroad. The months of heaviest exports are now over but the flood continues to pour into the city. It bids fair to be increased in the next ten days by the arrival of record shipments of wheat and corn from the western primary markets following the opening of transportation on the Great Lakes. The size of these shipments is an interesting commentary on the vol ume of the actual grain which is rep resented by the transactions on the Chicago Hoard of Trade and other ft . . . ... exenanges. ine rcicm uiuhiiuih set a new weekly record of grain ship- ments from Uueago, wver r,uovyov bushels of cereals will have been snip ped from that city alone by the end f the month. All the available ves sels on the lakes have been pressed into service to carry the grain from Chicago, Duluth and other ports. . I Not all of this huge outpour of grain will reach New York, however, as some of it will go to other eastern points for milling and export. The death of "The" Alien, the veteran gambler who for thirty years successfully defied the efforts of the police to close his resorts re moves the man who for years held the title of " the wickedest man in New York." Whether he deserved it is doubtful.. In fact his friends in sist that the original "wickedest man" was an altogether different Allen and that "The" received the appellation through a confusion of names. By most New Yorkers he will be re membered for the diversion caused by his warfare with successive police captains who raided his place as many as a hundred times in the course of a year, but never succeeded in put ting him out of business. He retired voluntarily two years ago. It is an interesting commentary on the sup posedly enormous profits of gambling places that after forty years as a gambler Allen died a comparatively poor man. There is a procession of exposi tions in New York that extends from one year's end to another's but per haps the oddest of these is the one that has been holding forth in Madi son Square Garden during the pres ent week. It is called a "Parents' Exposition." Its most interesting exhibit have been hundreds of ex ceedingly lively babies calculated to drive all thoughts of rac,e suicide from the minds of the visitors. All the most scientific appliances for the suc cessful upbringing of youngsters have been exhibited and lectures have been delivered by experts presumably of interest to members of the Newlywed family. Appropriately enough the presiding genius of the affair is re presented by the huge figure of a stork carrying a baby suspended from its bill.

The office of County Coroner is not a political but a judiciary office as much so as the Circuit Judge or Jus tice of the Peace. In aspiring to that office I would just as soon ask a Re publican, as a Democrat, Socialist or nonpartisan for his support, as the office should be and during my in cumbency always has been conducted without regard to politics. I have resided in Clatsop County for 34 years, my whole interests are here, and I expect to remain here. I have tried to conduct the office with impartiality and fairness and with a due regard to the interest of the taxpayers. The annual appropria tions of the County Court for the Coroner's office which includes, physi cians, jurors and witness fees and other necessary expenses such as boat hire have been $600.00 and the actual expense has often been much Deiow tnis figure, l have always deemed it an honor to be Coroner and am willing to submit the matter of my re-election to the voters on my record during my long tenure in the office.
