' Storm ' warnings ware ordered dis
played at tha stations along tha eoeat
this morning because lndlcatlona favor
a strong blow thle afternoon or tonight
The blow will not be felt much here.
District Forecaster Beals believes the
wnd will attain a velocity of from f 0
to 7 milea an hour. Thle la sufficient
to make it risky for shipping, and hence
the warnings ara of much value.
Tha atorm throughout the whole dis
trict ia still continuing and - few ra-

. reau this morning necauae or Dreaaa in
tha wire service. Reporta from tha
eastern part of the state ara to tho ef-
'fect that the Columbia and Bnaka rivers
ara still rising and running awift. '
Baaing his calculations upon these
reporta, Mr. Beats expects the Willam
ette to rise to the 10-foot mark at thle
point within tha next couple of daya
Thle will not affect shipping, alnoe the
backwater will have a teudency to check
the current now running aa a result of
a slight rise. In the Willamette on ac

i PIPE DREAM OF A GREAT EDITOR

' Harvey W. - Soott aa ; ambassador to
Tnrkeyl . : . f -.. .
Think of the Oregon editor wearing
tha fas and bowing hla bead to the Sul
tan la the city of Constantino tha Qreatt
Mr. Soott la now, or waa at laat ao-
eounts, touring . the . .Medlternanean.
Marconi grama received from Europe
announce that elnce the senatorial togas
were awarded to Bourne and Mulkey,
Mr. Scott haa abandoned all hope of
ever representing Oregon In congress
and now desires a dlptomatlo mission.
While In Waahington a short time ago
ha took dinner with the prealdant The
president waa vary oordlal, . and Mr
Scott's hopea rose higher with every
course. ; , . -,
'Teddy."' said Harvey as tha black
coffee appeared, . "I want to be ambas
sador to Turkey." .,' --Teddy
aald nothing but -gravely
handed the editor a Turkish cigarette.
Tha significance of the action waa un
mistakable. Mr. Bcott' maganlmously
explained that he did not wish to put
AMBASSADOR
the president to any Inconvenience, and
that If anybody also . had been alated
for Turkey, ha would ba willing to ac
cept appointment as envoy extraordin
ary and minister, plenipotentiary to Bel
glum Or even to Swltaerland. "
Tha prealdent,' overcome -with emo
tion, expressed his deep appreciation of
Mr. Scott's, patriotic desire to serve his
country. . '. , .... .
. Tna ambassador , to Turkey reselves
a salary of 117,600 a year; at Belgium
the salary la tll.OOt, and the minister
to Switzerland gets but tT.tOO. Mr.
Scott baa Dean Known to aay that there
la enough material for a aeoond novel
like Ben-Hur In the country of the
sultan. He haa alao aald that there
la not enough material In all tha other
countries of ' Europe to enable a man
like Walter Scott to turn out a novel
equal -to tho least of the productions
of the Scotch wlaard. ,
But Belgium would not be againat his
liking. He could - meander up to the
Brussels palace occasionally and, have
aa Interview with the dissolute King
TO TURKEY
Leopold. Lastly, ha would . not mind
being made an official . resident of
Berne. He oould drop over to Lucerne,
tha eroes reada ef Europe, and see all
the . Americana paaalng to and fru, and
every one would know fhaf no nad once
been an editor; - u
. Tho Belgian mission would be . tha
eaaleat to get, for tha present minister
la Harry Lane Wilson of ' Washington,
and hla term baa Just about run out.
But Imagine Mr. Scott, the bluff editor
of Oregon, aa a successor of Lew Wal
lace at Constantinople! -
Mr. Scott In fas and aaylng to the
sultan- "Would your majesty pleaae pay
ua that little bill that we have been
trying to oollect through the medium Of
14 dosen warships of our own and tha
allied European powers and four or
five consuls for the laat .five or .tan
years T" ,
And the sultan aaylng: ."do and ask
the cadi if -the olives are ripe and If It

Heney says no more effort will be
made to oust the board of bribe-takers.
but they will be permitted to continue
making laws for tha city they have
betrayed. It Is claimed by Heney that
to remove the corrupt eupervisors now
would simply mean that Bchmlta, aa
tha appointing power, would name more
men of hla own corrupt sort.
Tha district attorney.' and hla assist
ant feel that they have at least a club
over the heads of the present criminal
craw. They must be good or they will
bo Indicted and sent to prison for their
admitted Crimea.
It ts a remarkable fact that the Ban
Franciaco charter - make no provision
for tho removal of supervisors and it
would be necessary to resort to- a gen
eral state law nnder which tho auper
visors would have to be convicted be
fore they could be ousted. This would
mean that thay would refuse to tea.

With the telephone scandal out ef tha

Bay Cities company for 10,400,900. de-'
aplte the opportunity the city bad of
securing the Hetohy ayatem, which la
claimed to be far auperlor, for a much,
smaller sum. .
Particular stress is to be placed upon ' '
the fact that tha opposition of . tha
board and axperta appointed by the su
pervisors waa entirely Ignored' in the
matter, and the purchase of the Bay
Cltlea system declared upon... , ,
When the grand Jury dragnet la
opened Saturday. It will give forth in-

- Their aim has been the capture and
conviction of the men higher up and
the flrat Indictments noted Saturday aro '
expected to be against certain ' high
placed bualneaa men. The policy of the
proaecutors haa been to permit no ln-
dlctmenta save in tipse cases where the
evidence is amply sufficient to secure
convictions. Thla policy has been strict
ly adhered to In the telephone cases.
The prosecution has at leaat on official
of the Paclflo States Telephon com
pany In to net -.
The Inquisitors spent moot of the day
yesterday delving Into the books of
the Paclflo States company and in '
searching re-examlnation of officials
who had twice before been on the rack.
Vice-president Zlmmer, who was auditor -when
Halaey was negotiating with and
purchaalng members of the board of
supervisors, was made to go through
the company's books again. -
Zlmmer told the grand 'jury that he
had audited Halaey accounts, which
tally aa to time and amounts with tho
confessions of the Ruef puppets, on
