COUNCIL NAMES THE OFFICERS CAUCUS HELD LAST NIGHT AND OFFICERS FOR ENSUING YEAR SELECTED PAGE FOR ATTOR SET, 8AVAGB FOR FIRE CHIEF WON IN A CLOSE FIGHT. After a fight that was so close and bitter that It looked for awhile like It would be abandoned and taken to the floor of the council next Tuesday evening, the new councllmen. In cau cus assembled last night, nonnated Rollin K. Page, former manager of the Portland Railway, Light & Power company over Grant Corby for the of fice of city attorney. The city attorneyship was the first office considered. The ballot was se cret, and when It had been counted the first vote showed a tie. After an effort to break the tie, the councllmen again took a vote, and again It was a tie. Convinced that It could not be changed, a motion was made that the appointment be postponed, and carried to the floor of the council, and It car ried. After nominating a few more of ficers the Page following, after taking Inventory of its strength, again re verted to the city attorneyship, and this time the tie was broken and Page elected. The argument used to defeat Cnrhv was that the new council con templated much legislation agrnst the Portland, Railway, Light & Pow er company during the year, and Page, because he Is familiar with tne worn Ings of the company. It was asserted -would be a most valuable man. Savage Wins by Margin. Mark Savage was re-elected fire chief only after the hardest kind of a battle. Wra. Iwan appeared as. a can didate against him, and when the first vote was taken it was a tie. The sec ond was then taken and again it was a tie. Before the third was taken the Savage men turned loose their flood of oratory, and won. There has been considerable insubordination In the ranks of the firemen, and It Is to this that Wm. Iwan owes his defeat, as the new councllmen felt that It muBt sus tain the chief that to do otherwise would be to encourage dlssentions. Axe to lie Applied. After the election of the fire chief the matter of electing firemen was taken up, but after a discussion, It was deferred. This postponement wna New tia?i 1912 Greater Salem and Weifam Oregon' De cilopminl Edition Daily Capital Jeumat-.-baturday, December. 30J IIOIIOR MAN made because the councllmen felt that the chief must be responsible, and that he should be allowed to select his own men. He has been given to under stand that all discord and insubordi nation must be weeded out, and certain it is that upon the heads of at least two, and probably three, the gilded ax is destined to fall.

I said to myself, I've as much right as they To enjoy myself about the sabie way. So I hitched up, and Into town I went, Lookln' over the different kinds, the day I spent. I finally decided on a neat little car, The neatest and nicest I had seen by far. The agent said: "There's nothing shoddy, From the small cotter pin to the touring car body," And stepping up he took off the hood And explained In terms that I understood, About the crank-shaft running through, Which the four pistons are fastened to; v And made of the finest Vanadium steel, '' With a dandy magneto the shape of a wheel. The transmission and bearings run In oil bath, In an aluminum case as light as a lath; With two speeds forward and one reverse, And the price Just about fitting my purse. He said : "Get In ; see what It will do" We took a long ride and at times fairly flew. Then slowing It down, and still on high, I could have walked fast and passed It by. I wouldn't to back to the poky old way, With the old horse and four-wheeled shay. When you want to be right, do like me Purchase a good car, a Ford Model T. From Ford Times, by W. W. S. H. S.

He will declare himself a believer In a general occupation tax and rec oramend that the council pass a meas ure covering the subject. He will maintain that such a tax will be nec essary In order to Increase the reve nues of the city and place it on a cash basis. While extolling the work of the present fire department, he will call attention to the fact that better fire protection is needed. Two features upon which he will lay special empha sis Is the lack of protection provided in theatres and other places of amuse ment for the public. : A Scavenger Needed. Recommendations will be made for the improvement of the sanitary con ditions prevailing In the city. Credit will be given Sanitary Inspector Long for his work, but he will Insist that the salary paid this officer Is too small, and that there Is much need of devising ways and means for get ting the garbage oft the streets, and suggests the creation of the office of scavenger.
