j The effect of the recent conflagrations
at Baltimore and Rochester was In evi
dence thla afternoon when the com
mute of the executive board of this
city opened the bids for the $400,000 in
bonds for the construction of the Mor
rison street bridge and the 150,000 issue
for the Albina ferry. There were 18
bids and they averaged about 99 per
rent. Not one of, the bids called for the
purchase at par.
Most or tne Diggers are mnura
. companies and their reasons for the Tow
prices are attributed to. the poor bond
market, at present, owing to the number
of bonds that have been dumped on the
market to realize sufficient to pay the
losses eccasloned by the late destructive
fires. The market is depressed In con
sequence, and the representatives of the
bidding companies say that the local
offers are four per dent higher than
'any other prices offered In the north

6 per cent below par, and Russia Is suf

Vancouver, Wash.. ' March S. The
Phllllps-Drlver controversy, begun by
Phillips having circulated the state

- and from present indications it promises
to grow more prominent In the future.
William Phillips has not only lost a sin-

has been aroused In what he terms a

. there are a number of witnesses to prove
the falsity of the same.
The facts are, says Driver, Phillips
got hurt while working on the drydock.
Prior to that time, however. Driver used
his Influence to get Phillips a position
there, and took a, neighborly Interest In
.getting the best and most comfortable
place that could be obtained at the time.
After his accident and on account of this
misfortune and being out of work.
Driver Interested his friends in making
a contribution toward a fund to be given

The subscription paper, it is said, was
presented to all the mill men and many

Thereafter Driver received a check for

lingers about the dn,". said Municipal
Judge Hogue this morning. "It's an

and accepted by Phillips.
Driver says he has never' claimed
that Phillips requested s him to. make
this collection for him, but knowing that
Phillips was unfortunate and that such
donation would be of ranch" benefit, - his
spirit of friendship moved him to this
act of kindness. He also alleges that
he has- ample witnesses that every cent
of the money collected was. turned over
to Phillips and his wife, and that
Phillips must now admit such or stand

Just beginning to realize that Oregon
City has a good band. ' The band played
for the Y. M. C. A. entertainment Mon
day night and the quality of muslo
heard there was of the best and com
pares "more than favorably with the
work of similar organizations. In for
mer times It has been dlflicult to keep
the men at practice through the winter.
There has been no such trouhl thin
winter. Every Tuesday the members of
the band get together In their hall and
hold a faithful practice so that they are
In fine trim and can play any kind of
difficult music. -
In ' respect to finances, the organiza
tion is on "Easy street." Thev mode
enough money out of their playing last
yesr iu pay me aeots or the organiza
tion and to have money left In the
treasury. ' The membership Is not ouit.i
so large as last summer, but there are
some musicians on the outside who will
be In Oregon City In the near future
and they will swell the ranks of the
band. The members of the band Intend
to give regular weekly concerts so soon
as the weather gets warmer. This will
be a good thing for the city and the
band. - The concerts will be free and will
no doubt,be held in the public squares
or. Bom other public spot. A s-nnd
place could be secured across the river
at , the end of the bridge. This would
be an ideal place for a music stand anTT

across the river in the evenings. The
city, needs some little excitement of thl3
kind' during the summer months and
would. be' good for the business men, as
the -music .would attract a crowd on the
streets and ..trade would naturally ba

SALEM PEOPLE HAVE
CLOSED TOWN AT LAST
(Journal Special Serrlce.)
Salem. Or., March 3. The blow haa
been Struck and Salem is today and
has been since . o ciock last night, a
closed town. At that hour City , Mar
shal D. W. Gibson and his two police
officers entered every saloon' and gam
bling house, every cigar store In which
gambling was or might be carried on.
and -served notice on the proprietors
that gambling would from that time on
be prohibited, and that all ordinances
of the city .would be strictly enforced.
He also notified all saloon men that their
places of business would have to be
closed at midnight on Saturday nigm
and kept closed, front and rear, until
midnight Sunday night under pain or
prosecution under the City ordinance?.
While this action was not entirely un
expected since the resolution was adopt
ed by the council instructing tne mar
shal to enforce the city ordinances, there
was consternation In the local- gambling
houses and there were maledictions loud
and deep among some of the members
of the gambling fraternity, but all com
plied with the orders or the omcers,
and five minutes .after the officers had
completed thelf rounds, not a card was"
turned in a gambling game, not a
roulette ball rolled, no dice were thrown
and the gambling fraternity was seen
Idly standing about discussing tne
sweeping order of the authorities. What
the result will be Is not yet known, as
some of the gamblers hope to have the
sweeping order revoked, and many be
lieve that play will be permitted in up
stairs rooms or retired rear rooms, but
this far no steps have been taken by
any of the knights of the green cloth
to reopen or in any way to resume their
operations.
Gambling has always been carried on
to a greater or less extent In Salem, and
it is said by men who have lived here
since Salem was a town that this is
the first time In the history of the place
that gambling has been entirely shut
down.
There is only one way that people of
this city -can now woo the goddess
buck the tiger and that it is by invest
ing their coin in depositing it in the
slot machines, not the innocent little
chewing gum or cigar machines, but
the money machines, for these are li
censed by the city (though under the
ban of the state law) and the order
does not affect them, an ordinance li
censing them giving the marshal only
authority to see that the licenses are
paid on these devices.
City Marshal I), w. tjibson is tne
best pleasea resident of Salem, for
some time there has been a controversy
In 'this city as to the action of the
officers In not suppressing , certain vio
lations of the ordinances and the police
department held that the council' was
to blame In not pledging the support
of that body In the enforcement of-the
laws of the city. The council at Its
session Tuesday evening passed an ordi
nance defining the duties of the mar
shal and following it a resolution was
passed calling upon the, marshal to en
force all the ordinances of the city.
Marshal Gibson, in discussing the mat
ter yesterday afternoon, said "that he
had looked the matter up and he found
that the council had given him Just what
he desired, and that he would Btrlctly
enforce the laws of the city. Certain
It Is that many of the citizens of Sa
lem are ready to back him In his un
dertaking,' and the green cloth fraternity
Is disgusted, to say the least, and those
of the cigar stores, the principal busi
ness of which was gambltng in the
back rooms, were closed in a short time
after the notice was received. It Is
said that a number of these will go out
of business unless the order of the au
thorities Is revoked or modified.
This is a victory for 'the Anti-Saloon
league, which was formed here last fall
when the city campaign was -on. The
league elected but one councilman, but
It was the effort of that one member
that finally resulted in the order from
the council te the marshal to enforce
the ordinances of the city, with the re
sult that gambling was suddenly
stopped. How effective and lasting this
will be ' time alone can tell, and the
prediction is freely made that viola
tions will be promptly rollowed by
prosecutions of offenders to the full ex
tent of the law.
The Bartmes Case.
County Judge Scott yesterday after
noon decided the matter of the contest
ing petitioners for the appointment of
an administrator in the estate of the
late Levi Bartmess, who died near Stay
ton a few weeks ago. The old man
he was 77 years of age died at the
home of J. M. Howell, with whom he had
lived for some time and where he had
been cared for during his last illness.
He owned considerable property near
StAyton, Including some fine farm lands.
Mr. Howell had a claim against the
estate, and aa It was at that time not
known an to whether he had any rela
tives near here, Mr. Howell petitioned
for his own appointment as administra
tor of the estate. . Soon after this Mr.
Oscar Cole .and his brot'-ier. the latter
a resident of Canomah, petitioned for
the appointment of Mr. Oscar Cole as
administrator, the two brothers proving
to be relatives of the deceased. The
petitions came up forbearing yesterday
afternoon, and Judge Scott decided in
favor of Mr. Howell. It Is stated that
the Coles will appeal the case to the
circuit court.
Off for St. Xionls.
Today the Oregon exhibit, consisting
of a quantity of the -farm, garden and
ranch products included In the county
exhibit at the State fair here last fall

Mr. Douglas of Albany, who has for the
past few years had charge of the Linn

Great Britain was In fact Implicated by
anticipation in the Russo-Japanese war
when the Landsdowne treaty was signed
It was unquestionably in reliance on tho
pledge of sympathy and conditional sup
port given by that treaty that Japan
courted war, as she evidently did. To
commit a nation to war In a contingency
dependent in any measure on the con
duct of another nation not under its con
trol Is surely very daring statesmanship.
The contingency may occur, but In such
a manner and under such conditions as
would greatly change the moral obliga
tion of the compact. It Is conceivable
that Japan, confident in the pledged as
sistance of Great Britain, might by her
conduct provoke another power to take
Great Britain might at the time
be sorely .. pressed by war from
some other quarter. As It Is, she
has made Russia her ueadly enemy, all
the more deadly If Russia is defeated.

FIRE PROTECTION
FINALLY SECURED
(Journal Special Serrlo.) -Corvallls,-
March 'S.An agreement haa
finally been reached by the city council
and the local wajer company, whereby
from now on the city Is to pay H3 per
month for fire protection, sewer flushing,
etc., the company to accept payment in
fun of past accounts, in city warrants.
at the rate of $33.33 per month for fire
protection. The new arrangement is not
for any certain period, and can be ended
by -either party at will, but It is probable
that existing conditions will continue un
til some other arrangement for better
service presents itself. This ends tbe dif
ficulty between the council and - water
company, which has lasted for a consid
erable time, and, which, the -latter part
of January,- brought forth a threat from
the water company to remove ' all
hydrants and cut all cistern connections,
