LOCAL FIELD ENGINEER'S DEATH NOV Cecil B. Smith, Who Died in Canada, Was Formerly Gen eral Manager of Mount Hood Railway & Power Co. I JTm Attitude of Third Party in Multnomah County Still in Doubt; Hard Fight Facing Some Candidates." Cecil B. Smith. Cecil B. Smith, civil engineer, who died a few days ago at his home In To ronto, Canada, was well known in Port land, having lived, here the greater part of the papt two years as general man ager of the Mount Hood Railway & Power company, recently purchased by the Portland Railway, Light & Power company. It was Mr. Smith who mapped out the project and started construc tion of the power house and the reser voir now being completed by the P. R. K & P. company on the Bui! Run river. Ha also carried to completion the con duction of the rallrAud from Monta Villa to Bull Run. Mr. Smith was in Portland about a jnomn ago ana went rrom here to L,os Angeles on business in connection ..with a large power projret in Idaho, the Crane Falls Tower & Irrigation com pany, of Boise,' of which he waa presi dent. Shortly after his arrival In Los Angeles he was taken ill, the physician pronouncing it a hopeless case of can cer of the liver. He hurried home and died a few days later. Mr. Smith was a member of the Port land Press club and was also connected with the local association of civil en gineers. He was regarded as possibly the foremost engineer In Canada and was rapidly becoming known as a build er of large projects on this side of the line. He was born at Winona, Ontario, in 1866, and received his first technical education at the Colleglats Institute, at Hamilton, whence he went to Me 0111 university. He graduated In 18S4, receiving his first honors and being warded the governor-general's medal. After having been connected with a Bomber of large railroad projects, Mr. Smith entered extensively Into hydro electric work and was chosen, by the council of Winnipeg to ny out the 60, 000 horse power transmission plant for that city. In the meantime he formed the jnglnering firm of Smith, Kerry Y Chace, Toronto, and he and his asso ciates, laid . out and. In some cases, financially organised various power plants, among them the Trenton Power company, the Seymour Power company, Sydney Power company, Nlplsslng Power company, British Canadian Power company, the Calgary Power company, the municipal plants at Lethbridge, Rev elstoke and other places. He was a member of the Institute of Civil En gineers of Great Britain, and a member of the American Society of Civil Engin eers. He Is survived by the widow and two sons,, one brother and four sisters. The Canadian Engineer In speaking of Mr. Smith, says that by his death the coun try has lost one of its most successful and brilliant engineers. W. R. Brcreton, of this city, who came here with Mr. Smith fretn Toronto and was chief engineer for the Mount Hood company under Mr. Smith, speaks of Mm as a man liked bv everybody with whom he came in contact socially or in a business way. "Mr. Smith was one of the finest men I ever met,'" said Mr. Brereton, "and It was with tho deepest sorrow I leaded of his sudden death. I saw him when he was in Portland about a month ago, ind thought he did not look well, but had no Idea that he was seriously ill." JOE BONDS SAVES FOUR PEOPLE FROM DROWNING Tacoma, July 20.

' GOES ABROAD TO FIGHT FOR COLOSSAL ESTATE Chicago, July 20. In quest of a $185,000,000 estate, which has been ac cumulating for nearly 250 years, M's. Rstelle Ryan Snyder left here today for Hamburg, Germany. The estate Is that of Paul Werts, a German field So much attention has been attracted by the shows In the big rings that the local 'political campaign has for some time escaped general discussion. With the definite launching of the third party movement and an unusually early start to be made on the presidential campaign, renewal of interest is being shown in the fight in Multnomah county. Whether the third party will go Into the local field remains to be decided. Some of Its leaders favor, tho nomina tion of a full ticket, while others are opposed, The Republican county com mittee has sent out a letter to 'put all candidates on record, and It proposes to work against those who are opposed to Taft. Dr. Henry Waldo Coe, one of the third party leaders, Is equally Ae- termlned that no candidate who stands for Taft shall be left unopposed by a third party rival.- . Local Situation. As the contest now stands, the main fights in Multnomah county will come on the election of congressman, Judge of department No. 4, the legislative ticket. county, commissioner, sherirr ana as sessor Congressman Lafferty, who has been renominated, is against Taft, and dissatisfaction among the supporters of the president, added to the hostile feel ing already existing within Hie party ranks, threatens the congressman's safe ty. Several notable unfits on the Republi can legislative ticket face a formidable revolt and will have to fight for the job. Municipal Judge Tazwell, having won the nomination for the circuit bench by a narrow margin, is opposed by a Democrat and an independent and a lively campaign is in prospect. County Commissioner Llghtnr, seeks another term; W. H. Fitzgerald. the nominee for sheriff, and H. K. Reed, candidate for assessor, are other Re publicans who have "scrapping" ahead of them. As the campaign moves on the battle Is likely to be carried to oth er offices, and there Is no telling how far the battle line will extend If the third party goes out for the scalp of all who will not declare for Roosevelt.
