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

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.
Inspector Long Loses.
Sanitary Inspector Long lost his
fight for re-election as sanitary in
spector, S. P. McCracken winning over
him After two ballots the contest was
simmered down until It lay between
Long and McCracken. In an adroit
and indirect way the opponents or
Ixmg leveled their guns upon him ana
the shoU fired had a telling effect, for
the vote stood 9 to 5 in favor of Mc
Cracken.
Had Easy Sailing.
Engineer Skelton sailed back Into
effice again without even so much as
an unfriendly wind blowing against
him, and so did Street Commissioner
Zwicker, and Health omcer u. a.

Chief of Police Hamilton's recom

licemen were observed, and bam

THE FARMER TALKS
I made up my mind, long last spring,
To purchase an auto was the proper thing,
My neighbors have them and go whizzing by,
Throwing mud on the fences and in my eye.
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.

' Geo. W. Post ;
Mr. Post is the leading architect In the city of Salem. He came to Sa
lem two years and nine months ago from Pittsburg, Pa and until opening
up for himself, worked under another architect Last February he started
out for himself with offices In the Gray Block, corner Liberty and State
street. . '
Mr. Post has planned during the past 10 months 14 residences, the most
Important ones are the. Rodgers' residence, which is located at Cottage
and Court and Is reajy a work of art the other Is the big double
house of Catlin. The plans for the alteration and addition to the Salem
Woolen Mills store, this included also a new front. This work has caused
quite a bit of comment on account of the great lprovement and the al
teration and addition including . a new front for the : Toggery. Also a
new front for the White House restaurant, is some of the work done by
Mr. Post. The plans made for Clarence Hamilton's new three-story
building was also made by him. This building will not b erected for a
little while yet
Probably the most Important work Mr. Post is doing at the present time
Is the Carnegie library. This building will be located at State and Win
ter streets. The building Is classical in style and one that will attract a
great deal of attention. The plans sent to the trustees of the Carnegie
fund for approval were returned without alteration this is the first time
that this has happened in the Northwest and speaks very highly of Mr.
Post's ability. The library Is now In course of construction and should be
completed by May 1st
It Is almost impossible to more- than mention some of the work done
by Mr. Post Though mention should ba made of the beautiful brick en
trance of Klngwood Park, which was designed by him.
The cottage for contagious and Infectious diseases located on Asylum
avenue near the Salem Hospital, was designed by him. It was erected
by the city and county. Mention Is made elsewhere - of this beautiful
and up-to-date building.
Another piece of work done Is the pergola' and aviary for Mr. E. P. Mc
Cormack this has, on account of its beautiful and graceful lines, caused
a great deal of praise. Elsewhere, there Is a blrdseye of the Salem Brew
ery Association which was done by Mr. Post and which speaks for Itself.
