The largest crowd to attend a mass meeting in this city for years responded to the call of Mayor Dennis last Monday night City hall was packed before the meeting was called to order and the hallway was filled. The mayor rapped for order at 7:50 and read the call after which Dr. F. A. Bailey was made chairman and D. W. Barnes secretary. A motion was made and seconded to adjourn to the court house, which was carried. At the court house the meeting was again called to order and C. L. Deichman elected assistant secretary. Geo. Schulmerich, Thos. H. Tongue, A. C. Shute and W. H. Wehrung were named as leuers. inos. n. longue ae- Thos. II. Tongue de- aneu in iavor oi uce. favor of E. C. Luce, wno accepiea. It was moved and seconded that nominations be made bybal- the methods by which this extra lot, and majority vote elect. F. ordinary condition was brought A.

The total number of votes cast for these candidates were 156, of which Dennis received 89 and Bagley G7. For councilmen E. B. Tongue nominated John W. Connell, pres ent sheriff; B. P.

Schulmerich, who declinefl the honor, but it was "thrust" upon him, and the chair instructed the secretary to cast the ballot for his unanimous nomination. Geo. Schulmerich presented the name of Cal Jack for city treas urer and his nomination was made unanimous. Chairman Bailey then appoint ed J. W. Bailey, L. A. Long and Editor Guild, of the Argus, as a committee to fill vacancies and to procure election tickets. Mr. Guild declined and the chairman named Chas. Lamkin to fill the vacancy, after which the meeting adjourned. The Ticket. FOR John MAYOR Dennis. FOR COUNCILMEN John W. Connell. Thos. H. Tongue, John W. Sewell. FOR RECORDER Geo. Schulmerich. FOR TREASURER C. Jack, Jr. A printed ticket was in circu lation about the hall before the meeting was called to order, and was seen in the hands of n num ber of people during the day. which goes to show that there was a ueciueu unuersianuing us to who were the chosen few wanted, and as this ticket went through from top to bottom, it is very evident its makers and sup porters were on hand in force and stayed with their choice to the end. Read this slated ticket and glance over the one put in nomination: For Mayor John Dennis. For Councilmen John W. Con nell. Thos. H. Tongue, John W Sewell. For Recorder Geo. Schulmer ich. For Treasurer Cal Jack. There is strong talk of another ticket being placed id the field next Monday, as friends of the defeated nominees claim they had no show in the mass meet ing. I hey say that a nomin- ation is one thing, and the result at the polls another. At any rate it is worth something to man to know who his real friends are, whether in the everyday af- iairs 01 me or in me caucus or ballot box.

Mr. Hendrick , r iv voiioiU' says: "In the course of these opera tions the Metropolitan syndicate J has made at least one solid con tribution to AmericarL-iwn" methods. So far as can be earned, it was the first corpora tion to use the 'holding company as an instrument of modern cor poration finance. The first Met ropolitan Traction Company was organized in 1886, by Francis Lynde Stetson, who was chief counsel for Whitney and Ryan in the early days; in 1893, however, it was reorganized and started on its real period of usefullness. 'Mr. Stetson,' Ryan once remark ed, 'do you know what you did when you drew up the papers for the Metropolitan Traction Com pany? You made us a great big tin box.' Mr. Ryan's phase happily de scribed this corporation. The Metropolitan Traction Company existed merely as a depository for securities which were after ward turned over to the Metro politan Street Railway Company. It was the intermediary in all the Metropolitan deals. The in side syndicate would purchase se curities or organize companies on their own account They would then sell these to the Traction Company, and the Traction Com pany, in turn, would sell them to the Metropolitan. In this way the deals were made, not by in dividuals, but by corporations. If Whitney, Ryan and their asso ciates, as individuals, sold their own property to the Metropoli tan, which they controlled, the transaction might be of doubtful legality. But the Metropolitan Traction, a corporation, might deal on any scale with the Metro politan Street Railway, another corporation. As far as the in side syndicate personally was concerned, the practical result was the same, for they owned al so the Traction Company." November winds are bleak and sear.

A Great Dairy CoevenUoa at Port land December la ami s-Btg-gesl Sine Uecreat Fair. (Special Cornnpondence.) Portland, Ore.. November 25. "Please side step and give me the center of the stage," says the dairyman to the fruit grow er, and continuing, the producer of butter and cheese has this to say: "We are all proud of Ore gon's apples rM pears. Glad you got the use of the great show windows in which to present yourselves to the admiring thou sands, but you only come once a year, while we add a little to the wealth of Oregon every day of the three hundred and sixty-five, Oregon fruit's five million dol lar yield for 1907 is great but Oregon's dairy product growing from nothing ten years ago to five millions in 1902, and seven teen millions in 1907, is going to give a errand entertainment in ortland December 12th and 13th. "Two floors of the big Wood men's hall at 11th and Alder have been engaged for that pur pose, one for exhibits and the other for convention. The prizes offered are the greatest ever pre sented in the West The pro gram will be excellent There will be a reception, with refresh ments and music, at the Portland Commercial Club, the evening of the 12th. "It is the farmer and the dairyman who should be present at this convention. All of the commercial bov8 should have women of Oregon have made the state famous for its dairy pro ducts they will be especially wel come and some of the best pa pers on the program will be deliv ered by women. The exercises will open promptly at 10 o'clock Thursday morning, December 12th, at Woodmen's hall. Each and ev- I, i . if j erv Darker win ie aiscussea so that the practical points may be brought out All delegates are urged' to be present however, an hour before the opening Thurs day so as to register, receive badges, and get time to examine the exhibit in the large room just below the convention hall. The officers of the Oregon Dairv Association want you to come prepared to ask questions, to feel that you are present to be benefited and to appreciate that the discussion of the papers after they are delivered is more valuable than the papers them selves, for this character of dis cussion brings out all the strong points. "The business men of Portland have put up money to insure the publication of the proceedings in the best possible manner, and to illustrate the same, but only facts and vital information will be printed, and these are wanted and from every district in Ore gon. The railroads have made a rate of a fare and a third from eveiy point in the state." The Portland Country Club and Live Stock Association, xz cognizing the importance of the development of the live stock in terests of this state, have ar ranged for the greatest fair yet held west of the Missouri river, for 1908. There are $40,000 in prizes, equalling those offered by the Lewis and Clark exposition in 1905. To this will be added $10,000 or $12,000 by the differ ent breeder's associations in at tendance upon the International Live Stock Show at Chicago, November 30th to December 7th, wnere ii. u.

Beclrtc Lift-tits at BeaverUxi. A. H. Spraner, the popular Beaverton butcher, has just put in an electric plant and engine in his shop in that city, which is a great convenience and at the same time an improvement over the old way of conducting busi ness. The engine which gener ates the power is a Model No 1, eight-horse power and runs bo noiseless and smooth that per sons ten feet away cannot hear it He has twenty-five globes inside and outside his building, which gives a beautiful light and illuminates the store and street in front as bright as day even brighter. While this is a private plant and intended only to fur nish power for the machinery in his shop and give the necessary light Mr. Spraner has extended wires to the hall and a residence or two, thus giving the people of Beaverton a slight touch of city life. During the evenings the light is turned on in front of the market until 8 or 9 o'clock, and people who are obliged to use the sidewalk and streets at those hours greatly enjoy the light which throws its rays from the shop clear across the railroad track to the Bidewalk on the north. Last Sunday night was dark and stormy and people who were obliged to pass over that thoroughfare had to cling to the fences and often found them selves walking in the mud, for on Sunday evenings the Spraner electric plant is not running. Beaverton is progressive in most things, and now that their enter prising market man has set the pace, the people should lose no time in getting light of the mod ern kind. Nw Methods In Pontics. Senator Bourne introduced the nf ' 'rtuu-kinif". vatava kv sending them circular letters, telling them what he would do and wouldn't do, if elected. Candidate Mulkey has introduced the method of taking his physi ognomy into every farmhouse by sending them a calendar running until March 4, 1909, adorned with his "phiz." We suggest to Mr. Cake or Mr. Fulton, that he adopt the plan of sending to ev ery farmhouse a phonograph re cord telling the farmer and his sons all about matters and things. We thinks the phonograph espec ially adapted to Mr. Fulton's and Mr. Cake's style of oratory. This would be a fit substitute for blowing their horns. Comment on Oregon Topics in the Sunday Oregonian.

ICM1( rs Km THEY ARE GOING HOME LEFT TUESDAY FOR HONOLUIU TIM Hawaiian Cirts Had a Great Time and Return Singing Paises for Everything seen Here. Seattle, Wash., Nov. 23. -Mrs. Edyth Tozier Weatherred and the nine Hawaiian girls who have been touring the Pacific coast states, will leave next week for Victoria and Vancouver. Then they go home. The Hawaiian girls came down from Alaska the most popular excursion party that ever went north. There was a bit of trouble at Juneau over drafts and tickets, but it was a trouble shared by a score or more of delegates who attend ed the Juneau republican conven tion. It all came up this way: The delegates prolonged the meeting of the Alaska convention beyond any reasonable length of time and found it necessary to return home on the steamer Jefferson, owned by the Alaska Steamship Company. The Humboldt, oper ated by the Pacific Coast Com pany, had taken the party north and waited 12 hours to take them back, but at the last moment the delegates and Hawaiian party decided to stay over.

JOHN DENNIS The old Reliable Corner Up to the time of departure there was no trouble in Juneau in cashing checks and drafts. But when boat time drew near delegates found their checks were turned back and the steamship company would not take them. The story of the refusal of steamship officials to take the drafts of the Hawaiian party was cabled out from Juneau. What ought to have been added was that everybody homeward-bound was in the same predicament. There was a furious scramble for funds before the Jefferson sailed and everyone with a friend in Juneau dragged him from bed to get funds. It was abohemian effort to get everybody equipiod for the trip home along the shore line is one that no person but a suicide would attempt It is a long enough trip by boat and the walk home did not look good to anybody. At one time a threat was made that the delegates and Hawaiian party would go aboard the boat, move into staterooms and negotiate later with the pur ser. This led to the story cabled . generally from Juneau that the Hawaiian girls became figurative stowaways. It was a narrow es cape for everybody, and but for a last-minute round-up a couple of score would have been com pelled to attempt that escape from Juneau. The Hawaiian party had a gen uine hairbreadth escape at Ket- (Continued on Last Page.) m mum im Hillsboro, Oregon. DEALER IN nmi Medicines Fine Sundries.
