UNDERWRITERS OBJECT
To High Voltage Being Used In the
city.

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Sweetland of
Boston, who is the electrical Inspector fer
the Nav England Underwriters' associa.
tiop, was In Portland and In company
with Manager Raymond of the CONSOLE
dated Electric Light company called upon
Mayor Robinson to ascertain how high 0
voltage the Portland Eleotrio Light coIp-
rany In tended to use within the city.
MIR. Sweetland told the mayor that be
understood thn. the nav company was to
use at least 5000 volts on Its city lines
and this, he said, would be dangerous not
only to life but to property. Mr.. Sweet
land said that the New England Under
writer's association would object to such
voltage being used In the city. The
mayor has sent to Boston foi an electrical
expert who will te asked to give his opin-
ion on this matter. The result will
probably be that the oity council will be
called upon to formulate some rules in an
ordinance governing this matter Of volt
age and other things pertaining to the
transmission of electricity through the
streets Of Portland.

TRUST RELENTS.
Topeka Linseed Oil Works to
Be Reopened.

The Topeka Linseed Oil works will
open up for business again in a few
days, and will be managed by Mr. l..
L. Roby of this city, who was in charge
of the plant at the time that it was
closed down by the trust several
months ago. According TO reports, Mr..
ROby has received Instructions to re-
open the plant at once, and already
material is being hauled from the cars.
and placed in the linseed oil building at
the corner of Crane and Jefferson
streets. where the plant viii again be
located.
The trust. which has control of the
Topeka plant, has changed some of its
managers, and. it is claimed. that those
who are at the head of the company
deem it advisable to reopen the Topeka
plant. They have realized that by clos
ing the plant here that they lost con-
siderable of the trade of Kansas and
surrounding vicinity, and in order to
get this back that they must reopen
It is not known at present whether the
reopening of the plant here will be for
manufacture of oil or merely for a
store house, but it is anticipated that
for a short time that it will simply be
for the storing and shipping of oil, and
that when proper arrangements can be
made that the manufacture of oil will
be commenced.

WALLACE'S BOOM
Kingman County Man Scores
Against Chester Long.
His Home Delegation Instruct
ed For Him.

A few weeks ago the Journal an
nounced that w. H. Wallace, of King
man, had decided to become a candi-
date for congress against Chester I.
Long in the Seventh district. Some of
Mr.. Longs friends attempted at the
time to discredit the report, but it has
been confirmed by the fact that King
tiCn, have instructed for MI. Wallace
The convention was held last Satur
day and the instruction for Mr.. Wal
lace was q great surprise to the pOliti-
clans who believed that Wallace's boom
was not a substantial one. Although
Mr. Longs friends attempted to pre-
vent the declaration for Wallace, he
carried the convention by q unani-
nous vote.
Now that he has the sanction and the
backing of the Republicans at home,
Mr.. Wallace will make the campaign in
the district His ambition has been
given a boost in his own county and
Mr.. Wallace starts out with a strong
following for the place.
The friends of Mr.. Long and Mr..
Wallace say the present condition is
not the result of personal misunder-
standings between them and say that
Mr.. Wallace enters the race for con-
gress to crafty his own ambition polit-
ically. The two men stumped the dis
trict together last fall, Mr.. Wallace be-
ing one of Longs strongest supporters.
Mr.. Wallace is popular in the district
He was for several years master work
man of the Kansas A. o. u. w. grand
lodge, a position which he filled with
satisfaction. Wallace is a good speak
er, tells good stories on the platform
and is an entertaining campaigner and
a good worker.
There seems to be a sentiment among
many of the Republican leaders that
Mr.. Longs unpOpularity in some coun-
ties in the district will make a re-elect-
ion impossible for him. And he is be-
ing worked into the campaign for IN
tied States Senator by some of his ad-
nlirers. fact which gives many men
in the district the opinion that
if Long wants to get out of
the congressional business, Wal
lace is a good man to put in the
place. For that reason and for the
further reason that Mr.. Long has an
gered many men in the district by his
attitude on patronage distribution the
friends of Wallace are confident he will
be able to land the nomination.
