SHERIFF STEVENS MAY
ENTER MAYORALTY RACE
ACRE
High County Official Said
to Aspire to Succeed
Dr. Lane.
MOVER'S '
-
. Robert I Stevens would like to
change his present title of sheriff of
Multnomah county for that' of maor
' of Portland. He Is going to make the
attempt next spring when all the other
fandldates get out end show their
speed, according to the story which Is
now floating about the corners of the
political gossip room.
Mr. Stevens has not said, at least not
rublicaily, that lie Is to bo candidate
or Portland's chief executive office.
There- was a rumor some time ago about
the matter, but at that time the sheriff
passed It aside jokingly, contending
that his Job of keeping the peace unrnt
fled in Multnomah county was too ab
sorbing to permit him to think of how
Jovful the mayoralty would be.
"There are people in the city, however,
who are taking a very active interest
Jn the matter. They are various men
; closely connected with the sheriff offi
cially and politically, and they con-
. tend that Mr. Steven would make a
r good mayor, pointing to his record as
sheriff as proof of tholr contention.
To close friends they confide that their
' campaign is working out pleasingly
and that there will be nothing to It
when the time comes next April, or a
. short time, before,
If Stevens were to become a candi
date for mavor, as rumor says is prac
tically certain, his candidacy would j
eliminate that of K. W. Wright who is
being mentioned as a possible ' candi
date. Wright is a close personal and
political friend of the sheriff. He was
the manager 0f the Stevens campaign
last June. It Is hardly probable that
he would be a candidate with Stevens
Also in tho race.
Toe entrance tf Stevens in the race
would make things interesting. David
Jit. Dunne Is to be a candidate. 80 is
, Jt. Jj. Sabin. Then there is a whole list
of others more or less prominent who
are expected to fling their banners out
between now and April

Sheriff Robert L. Stevens.
There is- some supposition that the
present Ud which adorns tho city of
Portland would look something like the
top of a pepper box in the event of
Sheriff Stevens succeeding to the chair
now he'd by Mayor lane. Not that Mr.
Stevens would remove the covering en
tirely but would allow tho followers
of the personal liberty propaganda to
make enough openings so that a little
of the spice of life could be shaken oc
casionally nvpr the dull and unleavened
monotone of the present conditions.
This, however, is mere supposition
and may come from the minds of those
who are opposed to the candidacy of
me siirm. m any rate me people
of Portland will watch with more or
less interest for the official announce
nient of Mr. Stevens' candidacy.

Th Oregon Geographic board has Is
sued a circular address to the people of
Oregon calling attention to the fact
that numerous geographic features In
this state bear similar or identical
names, and that many old landmarks
either have no names at all or else have

has appointed a commission to super

within the state.
It is the intention of the board to

"The public school sytfjeia extends to
every part of the comionealth, and
pupils are of necessity interested in the
subject of the geography of the local
ity in which the school Is located. The
board suggests to the teachers and
pupils of the,common schools thut they
have It in their power to confer a last
ing benefit upon their state by merely
introducing into their schools as a gen
eral exercise a subject which will be
sure to vitalize the work in both geog-
inpiiy ana nisiory: we rerer to the
study of local nurnes in the school dis
trict. Let each teacher supervise the
preparation of an alphabetically ar
ranged list of all places In the district
possessing names. After the nanus
are collected, let her, with the aid of
the pupils, prepare a brief statement of
me History or each name. To illus
trate: " "Foulweather, a cape named by tho
explorer, Captain James Cook, in 1778.
because of the bad weather he encoun
tered while passing that point."
" "Roseburg, a town in Douglas coun
ty, named by Aaron Rose, Its founder."
"The pupils will inquire of their pa
rents, or of pioneers, or other well In
formed pSrsons, as to the origin of
names. They will come to take an in
tense interest in the subject, and will
discover a new significance In their en
vironment, both geographical and his
torical. They can readily be led also
to suggest a list of places deserving
of names, but not yet supplied, and to
make suggestions as to appropriate
names for them. This will afford op
portunity for language exercises. The
teacher should select from the places
listed such as are clearly worthy of spe
cial designations, and describe them in
a brief report to the board. She should
also send In the names suggested for
them, and of the persons making the I
suggestions, stating In each case the I
reason for applying the particular
name. If a map of the school district 1
can be prepared, and the names in- i
dlcated upon it, a further service will I
be rendered to the board and a valuable I
additional exercise afforded the pupils. !
"The board will, in its published re-
ports, give general credit to all who
shall assist in the work of collecting
information, and It will make special
mention of the names of pupils in each '
county who furnish the board with the I
best and second best map of their own 1

Compares Scotland and V. S.
Edinburgh, Dec. 15. Carrie Nation Is'
in Scotland this week, but has not yet
brought out her ax. She says that she
has come over here to discuss the ques
tion whether or not to Initiate p5aloon i
smashing crusade similar to that in :
America; but the probabilities are that :
she will be advised against It, although
she has declared that. If it be God's .
will, she would rather be in jail in :
Scotland than to be a member of parlia
ment. "In Scotland." Mrs. Nation observed ,
In an interview, "you don't have so
many public houses opening on the
streets as we have m America, but your
groceries sell "if here. It Is very rarely
that a grocer sells 'if in America, and :
'It' is becoming fo unpopular that peo
ple will not patronize a grocer who sells
drink.
"It is not considered respectable for!
women in America to go into any place i
where intoxicating liquor is sold.'
During the latter part of the week !
Mrs. Carrie Nation visited Scotch public
houses and harrangued saloon keepers.
Yesterday she entered a temperance res
taurant in Dundee and, addressing the :
manager, said:
"Young man, do you sell drink here?"
"No," was ther reply, "but you get
what you want next door."
PILLSBURY- WASHBURN
... RECEIVERS REPORT
(Heirtt Newa by Longest Leased Wire.)
Washington, Dec. 12. There were per
sistent statements about the White
House today that the president was
preparing a statement in the Panama
canal purchase affair. It Is known he
is collecting all the available data on
the subject, but it is iot known whether
this is for the purpose of issuing a
statement or has to do with the limit
of libel suits.
As regards the rumors of libel stilts,
there Is today a suggestion that Wil
liam Travcrs Jerome may be turned on
Mr. Pulitzer of the New York World.
It develops that there is no federal law
of criminal llbe) and nothing under
which officials of the United States
can act by direction of the president.
It is said the president was aware
of this when he gave utterance to the
threat of proceedings, and efforts are
being made to have District Attorney
Jerome lay the facts before a New
York grand Jury. Thus far pressure
upon Jerome is being directed through
1 nited States Attorney Stlmson In
New York.
The administration feels that there '.s
almost an unwritten code of courtesy
between the prosecuting officials of
the I'nited States and of the states, anil
it is to this that an appeal is apparent
ly bcinif made. Anv action against neo-
ple iri New York connected with news
papers charged with criminal libel of
the president or his brother-in-law.
Douglas Robinson, or anyone else would
have to be started through the district
attorney of New York county.
The Interesting point of a prosecution
in New York would be the question of
who would be the complainant. If the
president were the complainant, he
would have to become the leading pros
ecuting witness. This possibly would
Interfere with his hunting trip to Africa,
as the case could not come to trial
until after the time set for his depart
ure ori his hunting trip.
No objection would lie In Douglas
Robinson, who has several times dis
cussed with the president accusations
and who denounces them as bitterly as
the president, Mr. KoDinson Is a cltl
len of New York. Should District At
torney Jerome decide to move for an
Indictment before the grand Jury and
secure one he would have the fullest
aid of the legal machinery of the ad
ministration and access to every paper
connected with the transaction.
