- Oregon City,-'Or., March 6. Now that
the fire elections are so near the in
terest In the outcome ia keen. . The con
test will be very close and-it la any
body' fight ao far. The center of In
terest ! In the race for fire chief.
There are three candidates for thia po-r
eition. The position itself Is not a
thing to wort for, but there Is a dignity
connected with It that makes It desira-
. ble for a company to have one of Its
members hold the place. The candidates
are Lawrence Ruchonich of Fountain No.
1. George Brown of hook und ladder
No. 1 and Howard Brownell of Catar
act No. 2. There la only one candidate
so far for assistant chief and that Is
Will Lewthwalte of No. 3. At the elec
tion will be chosen two members of the
board of fire commissioners. The" can
didates are 6am Pherster of Fountain No.
1. E. McFarland of Cataract No. 2, E. J.
Noble of hook and ladder No. 1 and
Clarence Burner of No. i. -' : -;
There is more stir over this election
than Is . usually aroused over a city
. election. . The i reason for: this 1 la that
. the rivalry between the companies la al.
ways keen and in the elections It is mora
so. It-is as much of an honor. for a
' company to have a chief as It is to reach
a fire first, and the friends of the dif
ferent candidates are sparing no trou
ble to make their candidate .win,. - ;.
-Among the three men who are run
ning : for chief there is little choice.
Brownell, ' Brown and Ruchonich , have
been identified with firs' departments for
a number of years and any one of them
would make a good chief. Brownell la
making more efforts than the other two
for the place. He is young and ener
getic and enters into the contest with
great enthusiasm. Hia company is back
of htm and all are working the com
panies on the hill 'for votes. Neither
; of the two companies on the hill has a
candidate for chief and It makes' little
(Hffol-cnce 'to them who Is ttTe, officer.
Consequently the' companies on Main
street hope to draw enough votes , to
elect their man. ' ;' -
, . George Brown la not making much of
a fight for the,- position. He has a
large company back of; him and thejsi
are campaigning very quietly. His .la
the largest ..company, there being , some
40 members and. this may win the con
test for him. There is something mys
terious in the quietness of his support
ers and they do nothing but smile when
they are asked about the election. They
evidently . have something ; tf their
sleeve that they' will let down on Monday.-
',, - , .-..r'.. -
I aw re nee ... Ruepnnich 5 is not doing
much either. .Heis relying on the de
partment to reelect him again on account
of his record whHe at the head of the
fire department , the last year. During
the time that .he has held office there
has been a number of improvements and
innovations, Introduced into the depart
ment since the Chicago fire, and the
chief will point to them as an en
dorsement for hia reelection. - ,
There are about 160 names on the list
of men who will vote in the election.
The polls will be open at 10 o'clock in
the morning and remain open until 4
. o'clock In th af ternoonTh poll- ar

hands, and that he at first refused It
until he was led to bellev that it was
from Driver end his wife personally.
Phillips says that his refusal waa so
Insistent that Mrs. Driver told him that
he had better take It. and when he got
well again, and waa earning money, If
ha wished to repay It, that U could do
so It was with this understanding only
that h received the money. "And you
may say, too," asserted Phillips, "that

led by their wives at the Men's Congre
gational cVhb'a supper given In that
church last night, .It is generally re
gretted that Governor Chamberlain wa
forced to cut short his address on the
management of the penitentiary as con
ducted since he Inaugurated his reform
policy at that Institution. In the short
period of 20 minutes allowed him before
he left for Portland; he told of the con
ditions in the state penal institution as
he found them and then explained the
results of his reforms. a r
He said: "Ninety-nine out 6f every
hundred men now confined at . Salem
are there because, of improper bringing
up by their parents. -Trie parents ar
the ones that should be punished. There
should be a means of prohibiting mar
riages when it is known that the off
spring will not be treated except with
brutality. It Is from such cases that
the ranka of the convicts are being re
cruited, . . - ..v-v s '.-;'
, ''The; whipping post at. th penitenti
ary has been abolished. It makes the
men only more . brutal, stubborn and
sulky; ;. In Its stead the water cure has
been established , with splendid effect.
When a man Is unruly he is taken In
the bath, room and the hose turned on
his anatomy: No man haa ever held
out over, three minutes, . Besides this
effeot It Is certain he is absolutely
dean.", i
; One thing the governor wished to Im
press upon the minds of his audience
was stated as follows:
"We have at the penitentiary one of
the best hospitals on the coast. Neither
the Good Samaritan nor the St Vin
cent excels It. s In and out of it the men
are being treated as men, not as dogs.
The effect la v"ery evident :
"At present there are dnly two women
confined within the penitentiary."
, The governor concluded by saying:
"In taking over the charge of the
state affairs one of my great hopes was
for a better penitentiary and a better
reform school. Those changes are being
made which are accomplishing my ideas.
In both places the Inmates are not so
unruly and the7 are taking an Interest
In. life and Its future. There are men
confined there who should be away
from there and there are others not
there who should be." v i
The banquet was a pronounced suc
cess in every detail. The parlors of the
club were, very prettily : decorated for
the occasion and the tables looked' very
brilliant when the company' assembled.
Governor Chamberlain's talk was the
address of the evening and .it was ap
plauded to the. echo.
There were musical . numbers on the
program to give a pleasing variety to
the speeches. . Miss Edith Cheney and
Mr. Nelson sang two Very pleasing solos
that were well received. In addition to
the; governor's talk the following busi
ness and professional men of Oregon

COUNTY ROADS HAVE
BEEN MUCH NEGLECTED
... (Journal Special Berries.)
Gresham, Or., March 5. Th eastern
Multaomah county road seem to hav
been deprived of their "allowance" for a
long time. In fact for th past year. A
coating of crushed rock was put on the
Base Line road for a short distance at
an enormous expense and th same treat
ment was given a portion of the Sandy
Road west of Falrvlew with a Ilk ex
pense, -These two piece of road ar jn
very good condition, but all other main
road leading into Portland ar In more
or ls need of repair. '
Th ' former mod of road making
seems to hav been- abandoned by the
present county officials and as a result
th. needed repairs, which should have
been mad from tlm to time a occa
sion required, hav not been made, there
fore a great portion of th once solid
roadbed of th Base Line, 8ectlon Line
and Powell's valley roada has become a
continued, stretch of mudhblea and ruts,
where, under the old. system of road
making good solid roads wer found dur
ing the whole year. 1 '
It is high time some radical changes
should come about, for it will require
but: a very short time under present
conditions to put eastern multnomah
county In a worse condition that It was
before th grading and graveling of
roads began., .:;';
Ther la very slight 'Objection found
toward crushed ' rock if used In th
proper place, but th allowing of main
traveled highways to becdrne so aadly
In need of repair that It requires a
double team to do the work where one
horse used to perform It, la something
which should be altered and the sooner
th better, from both financial and
loftil view.

CORVALLIS EXPECTS
BETTER TRAIN SERVICE
(Journal Special. SottIcs.) : tv i
Corvallls. Or., March 6. Th rport
is current here and la generally credited,
that ere long Corvallla la to have an
other train, leaving here for . Portland
early In the morning and returning late
In th evening. Representatives of the
Southern Paciflo company have been in
this city for th past few. days, and
while they refuse to confirm the report,
they also do not deny it which fact
strengthens the public opinion that such
a service Is to be established. This
would bring Corvallla Into closer t'oucb
with th outaid world, from which It la
in a measure Isolated because of the
present unsatisfactory train service. At
present drummers and others complain
about being obliged to spend the night
In Corvallls whenever some trifling err
rand demands their attention here. .No
matter how greatly they deslr to travel
towards Portland, they roust If, they
come In on the noon train, remain until
th 1:20 p, m.' train next day before
they can reach th metropolis,' unless
they hir a rig to Albany and ther
catch, th overland. " ' '. " ' ' '
If it became operative the new service
would enabl a business man to leave
Corvallls in th ' morning, transact a
quantity of business in -Portland
through th dan and reach home In time
for dinner.
It is said that th proposed change
will affect the whola west- aid ayatem,

CYANIDE PLANT TO BE
PUT IN AT THE ALAMO
(Journal Special Berries.)
Sumpter, Or., March S. John R. Cas
sin, secretary and treasurer of the Al
amo, and W. R. Eisenhour, a heavy
stockholder, arrived here this morning
from Spokane, and went out to the mine,
taking with them. George W. Bogga cf
Tacoma, a cyanide and mill expert. The
company has practically decided to put
in a cyan id plant in conection with th
new mill. rv- ' . '
While her Mr. Cassln mad the fol
lowing statement In regard to' the pro
posed plant: "The mill is not saving as
high a per cent of values as we hoped
for. While it ha been running only a
short time, with th usual - stoppages
Incident to starting new machinery, I
think it baa been fully demonstrated
that the loss la sufficient to justify ua
In Installing a cyanide plant. We can
not afford to run merely to pay expense
and furnish employment for & force of
men, we ar In bualnesa to make som
money for ourselves. We know we have
the min and the or and it Is only a
question of treatment to make it valua
ble. I am convinced that this la dis
tinctly a cyanide camp and that all th
mine must aooner or later com to this,
proceaa." . ;i
Mr. Caasln has conducted som inves
tigations relative to th Hendryx agita
tor, and It 1 barely possible that this
style of plant will b adopted. The mat
ter is to be decided while h and Mr.
Eisenhour" ar at th property, and th
plant 1 to go in very soon.. Th build
lngs wer constructed with this end m
view and ther 1 ample space for th
addition.
