Object of an Election Decided on
by Taxpayers at a Meet
ing Last Night.

LACK OF WATER DRIVES '
PEOPLE TO THIS COURSE
Committee Will Arrange AH Pre
liminaries for a Vote at
Earliest Possible Day.
By a referendum vote the people of
Montavllia will decide the question of
the Incorporation of that suburb. . The
chief cause of dissatisfaction with pies
cnt .conditions is lack of pufJltc water
service, and failure of U efforts to
cure relief from the etty of Portland.
After a lengthy discussion of pplnts
Involved In the' all-Important question
Of water, a town meeting was held at
Odd Fellows' hall last night resolved
to refer the whole matter to the people
of Montavllia, and a committee was appointed-
te arrange for a -referendum
vote. Appointment of this committee
proved a difficult task, as many declined
to undertake the work. The following
committee at length consented to serve:
Harry 8. Blount. Paul Osburn, D. W,
Butler and Mr. Yarnell.
Prof. N. W. Boland stated that he wss
not ready to support incorporation, as
ndthlng ahd been said lo show that It
would be a benefit to the people, while
facts had been brought out to the dlsad
vsntago of the proposition. It had been
aid that the saloon men favored Incor
poration, and that they would endeavor
to have the charter so framed aa to
grant the privileges that were withheld
by the result of the recent local option
election.
Another obstacle In the way or chang
ing present conditions existed in a con
tract that was ometlme ago signed by
the resident! of Montavllia with J. M.
Arthur of the Mt. Tabor Water company,
In which the property owners agreed, in
consideration of a reduction of the base
rate to that of the Portland Water
company so long as It charged no more
for the service than was charged by the
Portland Water company.
U. B. Dickinson of the Montavllia
water committee, reported that there
waa no prospect of securing city water
for Montavllia. A large main being laid
from the high-service reservoir at Mt.
Tabor was Intended for supplying the
Peninsula and WOodlawn.
The Incorporation committee appointed
last night will immediately arrange pre
liminaries for the vote. Boundaries will
be defined, the necessary number of sig
natures to a petition will be secured, and
the county court will be asked to call an
election.

PADEREWSKI WILL ,
BE HERE NEXT WEEK
Ignace Paderewskl, when only seven
years of age, was sent by his father to
Pierre Bowlnskl. to begin his study of
the piano. For 11 years the young pupil
studied Industriously with the old mas
ter, then he was sent to Warsaw to
study harmony and composition with
Raguskl. and later studied harmony with
the celebrated Kiel of Berlin He began
advanced study of the piano with the
most famous of all piano technicians or
the period. Leachetlskl. with whom he
continued for three yeara In aeverest
technique. At length he appeared at
Vienna In public performance. His won
derful virtuosity was quickly acknowl
edged. His star ascended rapidly.
Faderewski is announced ' to appear
here on Wednesday evening at the Ar
mory, tentn ana oucn streets, tn an
exceptional program. The advance sale
of seats will open next Monday morning
In the lobby of the Marquam Grand the
atre. No subscription list.
The town, of Qreaham, tn this county.
may not be able to levy a legal tax this
year. Tha question has been submitted
to lawyers, and their opinions are not
In agreement. The county clerk la in
clined to toeliev that no legal tax can
be levied at this time.
A abort time ago a raqueat was made
of the county clerk for the taxroll for
Greaham. He found nothing on the rolla
referring to Gresham. At first It waa
thought the omission waa due to a
clerical error. Investigation "disclosed
that Greaham bad been incorporated un
der the general act on June 8. 1004,
while tha taxroll was made up on March
1, three months prevloualy.
Bat. after having been Incorporated
under the general act, after tha making
of t he county taxroll, Gresham as a
town does not appear t hereon, and it
appears to bo beyond tha authority of
the county clerk to Include it. Juat what
will be done la not Vet determined, and
tha question will remain open until tha
lawyers have looked mora closely Into
it and'dellvered opinions.
School districts organised after the
taxroll was made up are not placed In
the same class with Gresham or any
other town similarly situated, because
the territory Included in them Is merely
a segregation from other property, and
the assessment Is made preclaely th
same In .either case.
County Clerk Fields said today that
the lncreaae In the number of school
districts that levy taxes thla year will
be considerable, although the exact num
ber cannot yet be known. Last year 17
levied taxes and this year to date Ze
have reported, with aeveral to come.
among them No. 1, comprising the en
tire city of Portland. The levlea ao far
made are: District No. 2, CH mills;
No. 3, 7 mliis; No. 6, t mills; No. I.
S mills; No. 10, 7 mills; No. It. mills;

Confident of Success Though
Kuykendail Is Strong Malar
key's Position Is Uncertain.
One week from next Monday the legis
lature will convene, and the struggle
over the organisation of the two houses
is growing keen. It Is th general belief
that T. B. Kay of Marion will be epeaker
of the house of representatives, although
A. A. Bailey of Multnomah and W. I.
Vawter of Douglas and Jackson are still
In the., ring. Kay's conceded strength,
however, la little short of the 2f votes
necessary to control tha Republican
caucus In th house and his friends
ciaim that he haa already enough to
elect him. Interest centers, therefore, In
the tight over th presidency of the sen
ate.
For the present tit fight lies be twee
Senator Kuykendail of l.ano and Senator
Carter o-Jackmm, but there la still
possibility that Multnomah county may
present a candidate at the eleventh hou
and ueorge c. Hrowneii is never re
garded as absolutely out of any light for
office, until the final ballot has been
taken.
Senator Carter arrived in Portland yes
terday. There have been many callers
at bis rooms In the Imperial. It 1
somewhat significant tUat the early
trains also brought a number of othe
state senators. Among them are Sena
tors Farrar of Marlon, Wright of Din
coin, Tillamook and Yamhill, Whealdon
Of Wasco, Haloes of Washington, and
Bowerman of Gilliam.. Sherman "and
Wheeler. It la apparent that Carter
campaign Is being waged with vigor,
and he himself speaks hopefully of hi
prospects.
Carter X RTopef nl.
"I hope' to be elected prealdent of the
aenate and I believe that I shall be
said Senator Carter. "I am In the
light because I desire th honor of pre
aiding over the senate, and not for aAy
ulterior reason, i nave no special leg
Islatlon to forward, no measurea whlc
I expect to aid by gaining this tight
I waa speaker of the house at the special
session In the fall of 1391 and at the
iegular session of 1888, and now I am
ambitious to become president of the
aenate."
Senator Carter declined to give any
estimate of his probable strength, say
Ing that It was too early to mak- fore
casts of that sort, but he said that he
had already received atrong aasurancea
of support.
The attitude of the Multnomah dele
gallon is of course of the utmost lm
portance to the candidates tor the
presidency of the senate. It is com
moidy assumed that the delegation will
vote aa a Unit yet this Is not entirely
certain. If Multnomah's seven vote
were thrown solidly to Kuykendail he
would be in a atrong position, though not
even then certain to win.

outside of Multnomah county
Kuykendail haa but five votes Including
hla own. upon which he Can count with
any degree of certainty, and one of the
five i Brownells. The list Is Kuyken
dail. Brownell, Booth, Rsnd and Tuttle.
Seven votes from Multnomah would.
with these five, make a total of 11
which la one less than the number re
quired to control the Republican caucua
Kuykendail hopes. It la aald. to win
over either Senator Coke of Cooa and
Curry, or Senator I.oughary of Polk,
either of whom, according to the fore
going calculation, would be enough to
decide the contest. But as yet Coke
and Loughary are uncertain quantltle.
Both ar new members and they are said
to have refused to give any definite
pledges.
Without Multnomah's aid Kuykendail
would be absolutely out of the running
and with it he would still need the de
cisive on vote.
("atter Js credited wit h nine or 10
pledged votes, all of them outside thla
county, and ther are other which are
regarded as favorable to him. If he
can secure all of the unpledged votes
outside of this county, he would b
elected even though opposed by the solid
Multnomah delegation-.
One of the greatest elements 0f un
certainty in tne situation is the que
tlon whether Multnomah county will
present a candidate from Its own dele
gation for president of the senate. Dan
J. Malarkey 1 still a strong possibility.
and If It should prove that Kuykendail
cannot win. Malarkey would In all prob
ability enter the race. He said.
What Malarkey Stands.
"I can hardly aay unless the situation
changes that I am a candidate. I un
derstand that It la not at this time the
Intention of the delegation to put for
ward a candidate of their own, though !
have not talked on the subject wth any
member of the delegation nor with any
of th local political leaders since my re
turn from th eaat."
'Ia the situation likely to change so
that you may become an avowed candi
date?"
"Oh. yes. It may change within the
next few daya. ,,5t' have felt all along
that U waa a mistake for Multnomah
county not to make an effort to gt the
presidency of the senate. Soma sen
ators outside of Multnomah county who
preferred me their support some time
ago, before Senator Carter became an
active candidate;- have repeated the offer
recently, notwithstanding his candidacy."
"Hav you heard anything recently of
a scheme to enact a law changing the
time of th Portland city election so aa
to postpone It until 10(?"
"No, I haven t, replied Senstor Ma
larkey, "but so far as I am concerned 1
will not support any such measure I
said last spring, In answer to The Jour
nal s Inquiry, that I would not support
such a change unless something unfore-
n should arise so ss to make It nec
essary or advisable to postpone th city
election. I know of nothing that would
render such a postponement either neces
sary or advisable."
Senator Brownell a probable attitude
has been th subject of some anxious de-
hate among Kuykendail s friends Hla
allegiance will be at best reluctant and
It la lnMmutafl-that he would prefer Snv
on elae rather than the man from Ijine.
Probably th price of BrowncJI's adher
ence to anv candidate would lie thg
prom Is of the chairmanship of the com
mute on railroads, th position which
he held befor his election to th presi
dency of the senate two years ago.
TAXPAYERS WILL
DISCUSS SCHOOLS
'
Annual Meeting of the Portland
District Promises to Be
. Very Interesting. -
MANY IMPROVEMENTS
WILL BE SUGGESTED
New High School, Increase in
Salaries and Additional Build
ings Are Among Needs.
Taxpayers of the Portland school dis
trict will decide tonight whether the
high school will be built snd the pro
posed. Increase in the tesehers' salaries
be granted. Both propositions will have
many champions, and the annual meet
lng the high school building promises
to lie a lively one.
Strong resolutions favoring the erec
tion of a high school on the eaat aide
will be presented by the Bast Side Im
provement association, and It Is believed
that the majority of the taxpayers favor
the proposed high school.
A delegation of teachers will be.pres-
ent to support their request for an In
crease In salaries. To increase the
talarles 10 per cent will require a C
mill additional tax. The taxpayers will
n sll probability grant t he reqaest.
The proposed additions to the Sell-
wood, llighlsnd. Ockley Qreen and
Alblna Central schools will have to be
granted In order to accommodate the
pupils next year, and It la expected that
the recommendations of the directors to
build a new school In Holladay Park to
relieve the crowded condition of the
Holladay and William avenu school
will be adopted. '
.The proposed department of domestic
science for glrla In connection with the
manual training department for hoys Is
looked on with favor, and the school
directors will likely be ordered to Install
this feature next fall. '
Many ar In favor of granting the
directors an allowance of 13,000 to
It. ("in with which to prepare a display
of the work of the Portland schools at
the Lewis and Clark exposition. It Is
argued that Portland should take the
lead In the state educational exhibit at

TOKEN OF ESTEEM TO
DEPARTING MANAGER
After 17 yeara as manager of the Ar
lington club, Nicholas 1 Hargent has
been obliged to resign snd leave Portland
because of the, 111 health of hla wife.
He will depart January 4 for Coronado
Beach, where a stay of sevVral months
will be made, after which he expects
to return to Portland. The board of
trustees of the Arlington hss decided
