Conditions Are Better. "In" looking the situation over at this time I do not see wherein the city haw suffered ' in consequence, in any way, and in many others conditions are better than they formerly were. For one thing there is no red light district flaunting itself in the faces of -decent women and young boys and girls which is a distinct gain and In no other respect is the condition any worse." The mayor is of the opinion that the Indiscriminate granting of licenses to all persons Who apply for them is one of the greatest evils that the police department has to contend with, as it makes It necessary for the police to exercise constant surveillance over manv of the license) holders in order to protect innocent persons from their nefarious practices.

"There seems to have grown up with It, a doctrine or 'fetish' to the effect that the rights of persons employed under such regulations are superior to and greater than those of the city. Civil Service Barnacles. "In consequence the heads of the de-. partments who are endeavoring to se cure the best results for the city and for which they are held responsible, whether they are good or bad, are en tirely unable to accomplish them of value for the reason that they cannot rid the city of the services of such bar nacles an Impede their-progress. Any attempt upontheir part to do so usually ends in their being placed upon trial themselves, and the removal of the 'loafer,' which would be a blessing to the city, seemingly cannot be accom plished by any means short of his cap ture redhanded in the commission of some criminal act. "I am of tho opinion that appeals uiwuns'sai political from than for anv rausn nthar ; Sewer fund or religious ' reasons ' Street extension rand structure shall be erected which' la the nature of construction Is a source , of peril or loss, to the community " Holders of - Franchises. , .The mayor states that all holders of franchises, 'with the exception of one, relying on section 4 0 of the charter which provides that nothiosr contained In the, charter snail affect the validity Jf any franchise right or 'privilege In actual use or enjoyment given ' or granted before the charter became a law, have refused to file any statements or reports, and lor this reason it is im possible to make any report of value -concerning tnem. A change in the charter compelling uib mmig or irumiuj ana complete re ports from all holders nf franchlapn with the right of the city to change or revoke such franchise at any time that they are conducted In a manner which Is unfair or inimical to the interests of tne city is one which is much needed, he says. As matters now stand, anyone who before ttie present charter went into eriect naa succeeded in grabbing rights from the city la now in a posi tion to hold them, and the city is as helpless as 3 child to recover them. As to the fire department the mayor says: "This department has paid for salar ies during the year, as fixed by city ordinances, 043.47.

Vancouver. Wash., Jan. 13. Hugh R. Frazier, one of the best known marine engineers on the Pacific, for 20 years running out of San Francisco to China In the service of the Pacific Majl Steamship company, died last night at the home of his daughter at Vancouver barracks, of old age. He had been ail ing ror several months but until the present severe weather set In his con dition was not conaidflrtd serious. Tim Immediate cause of his death is thought to be exposure during the past week. Hugh Roderick Frazier was born In Nova Scotia in 1830. When a boy ha came to the states and soon entered a machine shop, being of a mechanical turn of mind. In 1882, after serving his time and securing a position as chief engineer for ocean going vessels, he came west to accept a position as chief engineer with the Pacific Mall and for 20 years never failed to make his regular trip out of San. Francisco to Chinese ports. Six years ago he resigned because of falling health and has since looked for a ranch near this city. He is survived by two daugh ters. Mrs. Mary A. Wood of Panama, and Mrs. McUinnls of Vancouver bar racks. His wife died several years ago. The minimum temperature in Port land was eight degrees above zero this morning. A . disturbance of marked 'energy is central over southern Oregon. Its cen ter is too far south to cause as much moderation in tho weather over the northern portion of this district as was expected yesterday. A new high pres sure area bus made Its uppearanco over northern AlUerta, and a large high pres sure area has moved from the middle Mississippi valley to the New England states. Heavy rains have fallen in California, and light snow has occurred generally throughout the north Pacific states. The temperatures have risen decidedly in southern and eastern Ore gon, southern Idaho, Utah, Nevada and California, and fallen slightly in north eastern Washington and decidedly In Alberta and the sound country. The indications are for light snow in the northern portion of this district, with continued cold weather tonight and Thursday, and for rain or snow In the southern portion of the district, with warmer weather tonight in southern Idaho, followed by lower temperatures Thursday. It will be colder tonight in southern Oregon. Temp. Max. Baker city, Or 18 Bismarck, N. V o Blaine. Wash 26 Boise, Idaho 28 Denver, Col 36 Detroit, Mich 16 Dodge, Kans 24 Dubuque.
