The mayor is of the opinion that the

"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.

" 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. The running ex
penses of the department for the year

in one of the-lower courts and was
afterward appealed to and declared valid

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.
