als Jo the public to end the troubles It
has had. ;'-: '
The company offers to extend the 6
cent car fare limit to the present city
limits, to remove its tracks from Cliff
venue, which Is desired as t boule
vard, and to Issue universal transfers
on all lines in the city. The first offer,
win grant the . Fern Hill district " the
thing it has been struggling for for
many years arid which led to the recent
riots at that point, . when passengers
who refused to pay more than 4 nickel
fare were ejected from the cars. -
The removal of the tracks from Cliff
avenue will end a long and bitter fight
with the city council. In the course of
which the authorities threatened at one
time to tear up the tracks. ; The grant
ing of universal transfers will greatly
simplify travel about the city and open
up more convenient routes to the pub

Backingljp of Ocean, Attracted
by Moon, Cause of, High."
f Water.
Disturbed by unusually high tides' In
the ocean, old Willamette lias taken to
the practice of flowing upstream these
moonlight nights and occasionally in the
daytime. This mornlng'lt sped back
wards so swiftly thata number of logs
that; had accumulated near the Morrison
bridge wore carried far above the Mad
Isoni structure. And steamboats bound
for Oregon City were hastened on the
crest of the wave over the shallow spots.
.Steamboat men along the waterfront
declare that .tho rise In the river this
morning was about five feet, the high
est tide effect experienced here tslnce
they began steamboatlng; and many
have been In the harbor for more than
a quarter of century, ? So high was
the rise that: had a -..maa- stood on the
bare sand at the. water's edge during -the
lowest ebb and remained for the crest
of the flood he would have drowned In
his footsteps. , ' ', '
- Ordlnarily'the tide In the Willamette
at Portland at this time of year is about
three feet, but this season the river la
extraordinarily low because of the pro
longed dry weather,' and with tha ocean
backing up higher than usual, attracted
by the full moon, the river backtracks
more rapidly and higher than ever.
The phenomenon, if so It may- be
called, was noted with much ' Interest
this morning by the river men, espe
cially those 'navigating on the upper
river, because It solves a problem that
has been Confronting them for several
weeks, that of getting beyond the Claclt-
ninii riveer har wtrhnnt. dplav.
Where the Clackamas river e'mpttefJ
Into the Willamette the gravel from tne
tributary piles up Into a serious obstacle,
and with the low water of thlasummer
the question of getting over lias been a
puzBllng one. ' But on the crest of a five
or six foot tide It Is emooth sailing, and
the upper river men hope the full moon
will continue to attract old Neptune's
element until tha rains of fall , set in
when the Willamette, 'Volatile and free,
will again flow; splashing, dashing on
ward to the moonmad sea."

SHERIFF STEVEtlS
HAS GOOD RECORD
Is Leading Anti-Assembly Can
didate for Nomination as
. Sheriff of Multnomah.
One of the interesting three cornered
fights for county office now In progress,
which presents an unusual phase. Is the
contest for' sheriff beween Robert L.
Stevens,"candldate for reelection, Georg
Wi WcMllIan, indorsed by the assembly,
and Nathan H. Bird, formerly, deputy
under Stevens, who haa run for tha of
fice several times before. . '
Sheriff Stevens was the first candi
date to file his declaration and to de
clare himself against the assembly. Hj
filed before the assembly was .held and
before the Issue had become acute, and
for this reasonlhe neglected to put "anti
assembly" after hjs name on the ballot.
As bis petitions were then well under
way, he is the only a.ntl-assembly candi-
date whose attitude does, not Clearly
appear on the ballot , ,,
1 Stevens Against Assembly.
There is a possibility, theref ore that.
voters who do not closely follow the
course of events may be misled by the
ballot where Bird has the slogan -"Statement
1 anti-assembly," ' and Stevens'
pledge, "Impartial enforcement of the
laws; efficient, economical, business ad
ministration." Voters ehould bear In
mind that Stevens was the original anti-

himself against the machine while many,

Sheriff Stevens" has made vft record
for ljuslnesa efficiency. The office, In
a coifnty like Multnomah, calls for bus
iness ability more than for man hunting,
but in both capacities the present sher
iff has always been on the job. Apply
ing system and business meth6ds, he
succeeded last year in cleaning up a tax
roll aggregating over 14,000,000 with
the smallest percentage of unpaid taxes
ever recorded. . . - ,i -

Grand jury after grand Jury has com
mended his conduct of the county jail
and commended his methods In dealing
with the prisoners. ' ThexTnlted States
Inspector of prisons, on a. visit to Port
land pronounced the Multnomah Jail th
cleanest and best kept of any In the
country, although It is located In the
basement of the courthouse, and Is a
difficult place to keep clean and habit
able. Business methods have prevailed In
the conduct of the office and all have
been -treated alike. In criminal mat
ters the efficiency of the sheriff Is
shown by the fact that he has not lost
a man since he has been In office, al
though thousands of . desperate men
have passed through his hands, and-numerous
important captures have been
made. In Joy ride (ses and ; country
hold-ups of recent memory . the sheriff
has been early and late on the-Job, giv
ing personal attention to the work In
