THEY BLAME JACK MATTHEWS The New Appointees r Find Their r Jobs Arc No Sinecure. " Men employed on the four bridges span-. ning tha Willamette River, who owe their positions to the county administration that went out of power six weeks ago, are slated to go. Some half dozen changes of bridgemen have been made and a short, curt type written note signed by County Judge Webster has been received by others of the bridge employes, that requested their resignations not later than August 15. Chairman Jack Matthews is given the credit of enforcing' the changes. There are in al! 32 places on the bridges con trolled by the County Court, and there are half a dozen applicants for each. Chairman Matthews, County Judge Web ster and Commissioner Barnes are kept in a perpetual stew over the incessant de mand made for promised places. The position of bridge tender is no easy task.' One has to he on duty every day in the year; there Is no vacation, no Sun day lay-oft, and the pay is small In com parison with the work demanded; but this has little effect on those who want the other fellow's Job in return for the "stand in" made on election day. It Is impossible to make all the changes at once. A due regard to public safety and protection of property has to be taken In consideration; but, none the less, all the old employes who arc not known to have stood for the present administra tion are Hlated to go. One of the newly- appointed men who was to, have gorw to work Saturday, declined the Job on dis covering he not only would have to work Sundays but also take a night shift; an other whose celebration over the success of Ms political pitiJ had the effect o putting him temporarily hbrs de'eombat. and unable to report for duty, has proh ably lost his chance, but theft are plenty of others waiting, and kicking while they wait, over the slow progress made In dis placing the present fortw of bridge men sd that they may get their political, dues. Another month may see the proposed changes all made, and those who cling to their jobs will have given way to the men with a pull and who guessed it right lawff J une. AN UNLUCKY EXPEDITION Portland Prospectors Return From a Search in Skamania County, Wash. A few years ago an old prospector and miner by the name of King died in Port land in well-to-do circumstances. For several years prior to his death he had been operating a placer mine In some por tion of Bkamania County, Wash., very frequently bringing- in as high as 1U00 and $5000 a trip from the claim. He worked it by himself and no one else knew anything -about its location, which he kept a strict secret, even from his closest friends and relatives. Shortly prior to his death be drew a rough chart of tha mine and adjacent country, which he bequeathed to his son. He also gave him what other information he could supply on the subject. Thomson searched In vain for the hidden mine and; finally gaVe up in despair. Last spring Jie took Gus Routh, Richard Hague and George Reed Into his con fidence and they fitted out an. expedition to search for the lost mine. They are all Portland parties and left here on June 17 with pack animals and a large store of provinlons. Sunday they returned, rather depressed in spirits, for the expe dition proved a failure. P'or two months they penetrated the wilds of Skamania County, looking for the particular sec tion described by the chart. The coin try was rough and but alow progress could be made. Their horses became Jugged, their supplies began to run short and it seemed jthat hard luck was with them from the start. They had some fine dogs with them and one got lost and the others died from some mysterious cause. Game seemed plentiful, and although well supplied with guns and ammunition it seemed to elude them with little or no difncluty. A bear Is about the only thing they killed. Forest fires broke out and for days at a time they were nearly suf focated with smoke. They then conclud ed to retrace their steps to Portland, empty-han4ed. They have not as yet determined wheth er the search will be renewed. That a rich placer mine is somewhere in that . section they have abundant evidence, but admit that it may remain lost for gen erations. PREACHER TO BOOMER. Rev. J. J. Walter, formerly pastor of Centenary Methodist Church, is. appoint ed to the position of colonisation agent for the Great Central Land Company of Coos Bay.

SHOT AND KILLED. "Old Ike" was shot by a police officer yesterday' Jnst In order to put amend to his miserable existence. He was a pio neer of Portland' and all the children and many of the grown people knew him. He led a useful life and was the personifica tion of good nature. Many a noble deed is directly traceable to him. "Old Ike" was a dog. and for several weeks had been rapidly declining In health. Hfl be longed to a printer who always took pleasure 111 supplying all the wants of his shaggy frlenX." The dog was growing old. Yesterday he staggered down to Front street and lay down. He could go no, further, -and It was evident that his end was near. It was then that a decision was reached to shoot him. His body wt given a decent buriaL ; HE WOULD USE WAVE POWER A Peculiar Proposal Made' to the Portland Board of Trade. The Board of Trade has received a let ter from S. N. Stewart, of Brooklyn, N. H., proposing to displace steam fur wave power in ships. ' The letter Is as follows: "If a few progressive members of youi board will rise to the level of the oppor tunity they can perhaps pull the nation back again to the the Nicaragua, route. If President Roosevelt were convinced (as he could be by the construction of a small wave-propelled boat) that within a few year the great majority probably at least nine-tenths of ocean-going vessels will be propelled by wwive and wind pow er combined, the Nicaragua route would no doubt be chosen, for, as has been shown, all but steam vessels, and perhaps one-halt of them, would prefer the Northern route. Today more than one-half of our regis tered tonnage Is sail, yet the wave Is far more powerful, regular and tractable and more nearly continuous than the wind. A wave is wind-power stored up and Its utilization Is one of the simplest things in the world almost too simple to be call ed an Invention. "ftoth wave and wind power will be used in the same vessel, but wave power chiefly, for It requires 1G0 men to handle W.Ooii horse-power of sail, while one man can handle a 20,000 horse-power wave motor, lr, ah emergency, one man alone could navlKate the largest ship across the widest ocean, if propelled by .wave-power (locking his rudder In line while sleep ing!. "A wave-motor is equally efficient In all directions, but in a head wind sails are almost powerless. "We are willing to meet a committee of members of your board who under stand machinery snd show that a wave Is a waterfall and that It will propel vessels at tremendous speed at one-tenth the cost of steam. And It is a cleaner and safer power than steam. "The. assertion that the use of wave pliclty might almost If not entirely, abol ish, steamtdilps will, I fear, at first seem vlsslonary. but a glance at a drawing of model Bhould be sulllclent to convince anyone who understands machinery. Wave power can be stored up on board, in the form of compressed air or electric ity, in place of coal, for use In calm weather. "lie wlso In time to save Portland, th Pacific Coast and the Nation from the Fenamn. Caual the Jumboltan failure which pulled from the French stockings nil they had to give and poured it In a wave of mud." Mr. -Stewart is now at Cascade Locks, Oregon. HAS BEEN PROMOTED. R. W.
