Grosscup Talks Wash
ington Politics
Railroads do not Object to Com
mission, Eut to Those
Who Back It.
"Harold Preston, the candidate
for Valtad Statee Senator from
the State of Washington bains'
pushed forward jy Gov. MoBrlde
and hie clan, Is e, splendid man
personally, a good lawyer and an
altogether nice tallow, but he
haa unfortunatelyi'allled bintsaU
with the ramnan. of Populism In
bis state, and Populism la
'doomed.
"I have often basn asked why
the railroads object to a com
mission bill. It Is not the bill
the railroads object to. It la
the people who are back of the
bill and who are attempting to
gain the upper hand through Its
passage. Their class and char
acter is depicted In the depths
to which they have descended la
their battle to carry their cause.
"I believe Levi Ankeny wlU be
elected Senator.
"I believe the commission bill
Is doomed to defeat."
B. S. OBOSBCUF-
11. 8. Grosscup. corporation counsel for
the Northern Paclllc Railroad, with head
quarters at Taroma. and who lx of ten
spoken of a,s political manager for the
railroads In the St:ite of Washington. Ih
In this cltv on business. Mr. Uros.ssup
l -registered nt the Hotel Portland and
Is accompanied by his wife and family.
Mr. Qrosscup made prompt and emphat
ic denial of the oft-repeated charge that
I.evl Ankeny of Walla Walla Is being
supported by the railroad Interests for
the oflioe or Culled States Senator . from
the State of Washington. To a reporter
for The Journal he said:
"Mr. Ankeny Is a Rood man, and I
think he will be elected, but when I make
that statement It Is as IS. S. flrossoup,
and not an an employe of the railroads. I
huve watched political developments, but
have taken no part In them. My law
business is enough for me, and I find my
time quite taken up lb attending to It.
"The railroads have no Interest In the
choice of a Senator beyond the desire
they naturally feel to see the country
properly rcpn-st tiled by a man who will
have some regard for progress and devel
opment. John I., Wilson, as well as Mr.
Ankeny. has always been a, man who
looked at the situation from the right
side, and 1 am sure thai If would be
Lhurd for the railroads, ha they pvtr
SUCH lllieillioil, o, iilimr ,uy,-r,n..,i
these two men. Hut the ralJrUids are
not mixing In the Washington political
controversy. They areonlookers merely."
THE COMMISSION -BILL.
"The Spokane Spokesman-Review, which
Is leading or the forces of McBrlde and
Preston In their battle to secure passage
of a raijroud commission bill, has re
ferred to you as political munager for
I-vl Ankeny and have made statements
that wine, women and money would be
used by the railroad people In the effort
to defeat that measure. " Interjected the
reporter.
Mr. Grosscup smiled. This was evident
ly a matter upon which he was thor
oughly Informed and well prepared to
dispute.
"That la Just why we object to the
commission bill," he said. "It Is not that
the railroads hnve anything to fear from
such a measure if the law Is carried out
without malice, but the false charges
and malicious falsehoods detailed against
us conclusively prove the methods of
these men and to what they will stoop
There could be no hope for fair treat
ment at their hands.
"From, what 1 have- seen of conditions
throughout the State of Washington I am
convinced that the railroad commission
bill will be defeated before the coming
legislature."
WILSON" NOT ACTIVE.
"A telegraph story from Seattle re
cently announced -that John L. Wilson
had attempted to effect a combination
that would Insure his election to the
Senatorial office," said the reporter.
"There Is nothing to It!" rked Mr.
Grosscup. "Absolutely nothing!"
"The story was." went on his Interro
gator, "that Wilson approached McBr-lfle
with the proposition that If the latter
would consent to curtailment of the pow
er of the commission and drop Harold
Preston, the railroads would drop An
keny and permit the passage of the meas
ure." " The railroads would never be a party
to stub a scheme." said Mr. Grosscup.
"In the first place, because John I Wil
son would never propose It. and. In the
second place, because the railroads are
not In the cumpaign to begin with."
"They would not consent to throw Mr.
Ankeny down?" was asked.
M). Because nicy nave never con
sented to his being elevated," was the
quick reply.
No TRCTII TV CHARGES.
"The charges that wine, women and
money would be employed by the rail
roads are absurd." continued Mr. Gross
cup. In response to a query. "The Spokes-man-Rcvlew
has been lighting McHride's
battle for him. and fighting it hard, but
anything that has been said along the
line of corruption is absolutely falsi).
There Is no ground for It whatever, and
never will be.
"Mr. Ankeny, whom I believe will be
elected to the Senate, has always been a
man of progress and honor. He. has
been a friend of the railroads, that Is
true, but only when the railroads were
engaged In legitimate enterprises. Rail
roads are empire-builders when conducted
along proper lines, and J do not believe
there Is the least doubt Mr Ankeny could
be depended upon lo guard tlie interests
of the people. He has proved himself In
the past."
GRAIN NOT INJURED.

weather of the past 10 days, with little
snew on the ground has not affected fall-
fiwn wheat, so report farmers from all

With the Port of Port

Another candidate, is In the field for
superintending engineer for the drydock,
now under construction. This candidate
la a very strong one, isThls afternoon the
Port of Portland Commission Is conferr
ing with him behind iCloed doors. The
candidate In question, J. 11. C. Lockwood,
is the designing and constructing engi
neer of the new Port of Portland dredge.
Columbia. In this capacity Mr. lxx-kwuuri
has proven himself very capable, conse
quently the member of the commission
have been discussing among themselves
the possibility of selecting him as the
superintending engineer of the drydock
to till the vacancy caused by the resigna
tion of Designing Engineer Blackwell, of
Seattle. - r
NO APPLICATION PUT IN.
Mr. I.ockwood has put in no written ap
plication for the position, but several
members of the board feel favorably in
clined towards him. For this reaaon Mr.
Lock wood has been Invited to come down
to Portland from his home in Seattle,
presumably to nlrert the repairing of a
break In the ladder of. the. .flew, dredge.
The commission Is In-'consultatlon with
Mr. Lockwood this afternoon; and there Is
a strong purobabllity that he will be en
gaged.
Another strong candidate' for the posi
tion is an Eastern man whose name
cmtld not be Tcarhed fwn' any member
of the commission. Ite Is a strong can.
dldate by virtue of lilg experience and
letters of commendation. .
In speaking about Mr.-Lockwood this
morning. President P-anfleld of the com
mission stated to a Jourtiar reporter:
MH. RANI IEI.D'S VIEWS.
'Mr. Lockwood ha proven himself very
capable in his work f.r the board. His
work Is of the utmost satisfaction and
anyone can get along with him. He haa
not applied for the position,, and his being
In Portland has r.o ..nnection w"h the
drydock, but with 1 1 1 - dredge."
'In It not a fact. Mr Banfleld, that the
commission favors Mr. Lockwood ua
engineer for the drydock?" the reporter
ventured.
I cannot say as to that," was the
answer.
"Perhaps members of the board Indi
vidually favor hini." . ontlnued Mr. Dun
field, "but as a holy we will employ
the best engineer w, know of. aswe hav
a public duty to p-iform, and t
give tne public tin i st of everyThtng.
Another matter ti ,i niay come up this
afternoon Is the n-nn of the attorney of
the commission on the advisability of
making five consecintv.. tax levies In the
next tlve years to meet the Indebtedness
Incurred In the const rnction of the new
dredge. The law pro ales that one spe
cial levy be made, i oi t the board wishes
to change this to five."

Memories of Jefferson
Are Recalled,
Plans Arranged for a Gathering of
the Party's Followers
in Portland.
Jefferson Say, January 8, will be cele
brated la Portland by the Democrats In
fitting manner, with an Informal smoker
at some hall to be selected soon, and
then, upon the night of April 13, they
will take cognisance of the birth of
Thomas Jefferson, the patron saint of
their party, and the great exponent of
the governing principles that underlie
this republic
These plans were decided upon at the
meeting held last night In the Mining
Exchange In the Chamber of Commerce
Iiullding, the following committee being
appointed to make all arrangements:
U. J. Beakey. J. T. Millner. J. R Ryan
Will N. Gatens and John E. Lathrop,
with L T. Peary, chairman of the
Tuesday night meeting, as a member ex-
offioio. Ogilvle Young was elected as
treasurer of the committee, and began
bis work by taking subscriptions from
those who were present, and planning
for Becurlng the remainder of the funds
necessary to make the affairs success
ful. Encouragement has been met to
day by the committee and It is assured
that the smoker on January 8 will be
pleasant, while the Jefferson Day baie
quet. which will be quite an elaborate
meeting, will be made Just as brilliant
as combined enthusiasm and veneration
for the great nation founder can make
It.
PEARY WAS CHAIRMAN.
About 75 Democrats assembled at 8
o'clock in the Mining Exchange. L. T.
Peary was elected chairman, und W. H.
EtTlnger secretary. Mr. Peary. Mr. 11.
H. Nichols und J. B. Ryan stated that
the object of the meeting was to con
sider the advisability of calebrnting
Jackson Day and then discussion ensued
regarding the best manner In which to
do it. Opinions varied, D. J. Beakey be
lieving that the anniversary of Thomas
Jefferson's birth, April 2. should be the
time for the more pretentious gather
ing. He suggested that Jackson Day
b- celebrated Informally and that a
formal and elnboratet banquet be ar
ranged for Jefferson Day, April 2. He
finally Incorporated hlw Ideas Into a mo
tion, which was discussed by numerous
persons, W. N. Gaftis offering some
views from his former experience, in
such matters, among others speaking to
the subject being A. King Wilson, J. T.
Millner, O. W. Allen. Mr.. Foley,. . .
A proposition to turn the affair over
to the. county central committee was
considered, upon motion by" Mr. Allen,
but the decision was that that body was
too cumbersome and that a special com
mittee was better.
COMMITTER WENT RIGHT TO WORK
Immediately upon the adjournment of
the general meeting, the committee met,
with Mr Beakey. chairman, presiding,
and all members, with Treasurer Young,
present. Several details were arranged,
and plans discussed. 'y
After deliberating tujgf an hour, the
committee authorlzedyilUs announce
ment: ' jT
"The Democrats will be asked to as
semble informally upon the night of
January 8. the ball to be selected soon,
when a smoker will be given, to which
all Democrats will be Invited from Mult
nomah County and the remainder of the
slate, although It Is feared that those
living in other counties will not be ac
cessible so soon and perhaps few may
be Induced to attend. However, every
one in Oregon will be royally welcomed,
upon the night of Jackson Day, and the
time passed pleasantly with sociability.
"There will be ao long speeches.
"Jefferson Bay will be the occasion
of a gathering of Democrats from" all of
Oregon, and the affair will he made con
spicuous, If possible, by inducing some
speaker of national reputation to come
to Portland and deliver an address.
"Democrats are asked to co-operate
with the committee, both by the coiw
tributlon of funds and the lending of as
sistance In perfecting detnlls.
"The committee o&lla attention to the
fact that Jefferson was the president
who tent lewis and Clark across the
continent 100 years ago, and counselled
them to explore this portion of the
country, reporting tlpon the actual con
ditions: that he was the president who
was Instrumental in securing to the na
tion the vast domain Included within the
Louisiana Purchuse. an act to be cele
brated in St. Louis by their great expo
sition in 1H04; that Portland and Oregon
are to celebrate the coming of Lewis
and Clarfll with nn exposition in 1905,
and yrthe name of Jefferson Is lnsep
nrtriny connected w'th that enterprise;
t It behooves all Democrats to honor
the name of Jefferson this year of all
others, and to gather for the purpose of
listening to eloquent tributes to his pat
riotism, mental worth and qualities as
a statesman.
"The Jackson Day smoker will be to
honor that stern old patriot, of so fine
Integrity, anil, nt the same time, to
arouse deeper Interest In the Inter gath
ering, when JefTerson Is to be the
tlieme."
COMMITTEE WORKED TODAY.
The committee was at work today,
determined not to lose any time, but to
see that the few days before January 8
are utilized to best advantage.
HAVE NO KICK
A prominent official or tho Portland
General Electric Company. In speaking
of the kick made by the Sellwood Board
of Trade against the actlrm of the com
pany In not turning the ligtuts on sooner,
said:
"I don't see the reason for all this
fuss. Sellwood has the same lighting
service as the other sections of the city.
There is absolutely no truth In the re
port that the lights of that section are
not turned on until several hours after
the remainder of the chy is lit up.
"Our company turns on all the light
circuit as fast as a man can do the
work. Altogether, It would not take half
air hour to turn on all the lights in the
city. Of course, accidents will sometimes
hnppen, and then the switching on of
