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."

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.
