Old Man LEADER and Mr.. Mason
took quite pedestrian tour through
the Little and Big Elk country last
week, looking for land and goats
for the latter gentleman. We visit
ed the homes of Messrs. Mcclure,
Mcbride and Hunt at Little Elk;
Mr.. Dudley Trapp, on Anderson
creek; Jas. Mcdonald on Paling
Hill, Mr.. B. F. Grant and George
Hodges on Big Elk. At all these
places we were cordially entertained
and given every assistance we need
ed. Crops and stock were found to
be doing very nicely now, though
not as forward as usual a, this time
of year because of the excee dinghy
backward spring. AS is usual, the
older settlers have much the best
improved places. Mr.. Mcdonald
has beautiful place which is nicely
improved and needs but little
more money expended to make it
an ideal country home. Mr.. Grant
also has large, we'll improve
farm. Large fields of grain and
grass are here found as well as high
hills covered with we'll filed sheep,
goats and cattle. Mr.. Grant has
lived there for twenty-seven wears,
but has much to show for his wears
OF labor. Lincoln county has many
homes in course of building and
Improvement and but few wears
will pass before it will be peopled
by as happy. contented and pros
porous people as can be found IN
any county of any state in the
Union. Do not weary in well
doing.

DROWNED,
ueo. Burch. of Newport.
WHILE DEEP-SEA FISHING ON
YAQUINA BAR.
Life Saving Crew Rescued Frank
Priest and Sea Lion Charlie.

AT near 7 o'lock yesterday morn
ing George Burch, Frank Priest
and Sea Lion Charlie went over
the Yaquina bar in small boat to
catch deep-sea fish for the summer
tourists, now enjoying themselves
at Newport.
They began to fish near the bar
and were busily engaged when a
large breaker was discovered near
ly upon them. Quick as thought
Frank Priest turned the boat bow
on sufficiently to take the breaker
without injury, but before the boa,
could be righted a second time, an
other breaker rushed upon them
and filled and capsized it. Messrs.
Priest and Sea Lion Charlie clune
to the boat as soon as they could
make their way to it, but they saw
no more of their companion, George
Burch. He was probably struck
by the boat and Immediately sank.
Luckily for the others, one of
the Yaquina Bay Life-Saving crew
was patroling the beach near by the
scene and saw the accident. With
all speed he flew to the station and
gave the alarm, when Capt Clark
and his crew launched boat and
rowed for life to the scene of the
accident, arriving just in time to
rescue Messrs. Priest and Sea Lion
Charlie, who had clung to the up
turned boat nearly as long as pos
sible.
These men were in the almost
ice-cold breakers for upwards OF
half an hour, buffetted about in a
manner which you and 1 wish nev-
er to know, and were almost ex-
hausted from exertion and cold.
Great praise should be given to
Captain Clark and his crew for the
part they took in the rescue.
While such an item is not entire
ly unexpected, the death Of one So
we'll and favorably known as Geo.
Burch, was terrible shock to our
people, and sympathetic express
ion arose to every lip from every
heart.

did not proceed as. expected. A continu-
ance was requested on behalf of the ex-
ecutors, but would not be consented to
by Mrs. Cravens lawyers until they were
assured that the contest instituted by
Charles L. Fair would not be withdrawn
un14l such time as argument could be had
regarding Mrs. Craven's right to file a
complaint for intervention. This was
agreed to and the case was continued IN
til a week from Friday.
The issues, upon which the executors
will combat Mrs Craven's application TO
file her complaint were then made known.
Written application was filed by the exc
cutors on the ground that the proceed
ing instituted by Charles L. Fair to con-
test the validity of the will is a special
proceeding and the law does not author
lie an Intervention in such actions; that
it does not appear that Mrs. Craven has
such an interest in the matter in litiga-
ton as will entitle her to intervene
therein, and that the time allowed by law
in which to file such complaint has ex-
pired.
Upon these grounds the opposition will
make it's fight to prevent Mrs. Craven
breaking into the case instituted by her
alleged stepson, but win what success
remains to be seen.

Would Deprive Him of All His
Chairmanships.
To-Night's Meeting Will Very Likely Change the
Old Balance of Power in the Board
of Education.

TROM the headquarters of Mr. Phillip
II Crimmins the ukase has gone forth
and unless publicity shall change or
postpone for a time the plans Of the
Board of Education, Director Edward
Head will tonight be shorn Of the chair
manship of the Supplies Committee and
will be cut down from the same office on
the Evening Schools Committee.
Mr.. Head, it is said, is to be relieved
for cause. The charges against him are
incorporated in a report which is due to
be presented at the meeting of the board
this evening and which have been in
preparation for the past fortnight. The
Crimmins six on the board claim that
the decent element, frequently mentioned
as the "CIub Five" will vote with them
for Mr.. Heads dethronement.
The report will set forth that Head is
relieved of his executive prerogatives
because he has found not enough time
to properly administer the affairs of his
offices. The Supplies Committee is one
of the most important in the city's plan
of schools. To it come all the requisi-
tons of the different principals for the
supplies necessary to their different
charges, and the chairmans days are
full in attending to them.
Mr.. Heads duties as an employee Of the
Spring Valley Water Company, so it is
said, do not leave him sufficient time for
Supply Committee matters. The Evening
School Committee is of almost equal i'm
portance, and Mr. Heads Spring Valley
duties have apparently left him little
time for that, either, for the fact remains
that in the four months of his incum-
bency he has rendered but one report,
and that upon evening school matters.
These are the things, it is said, that
are TO be charged against Mr.. Head. At
any rate they will appear upon the re-
port when that shall be rendered, and in
throwing him out of his position his fell
low members will find their excuse in
them.
1t appears that Heads undoing is his
own, and 1t began when the present
board was organized last December. At
that time he started to make the worst
Of his splendid opportunities. The first
plan of Organization was promulgated by
Mr.. Stow and it gave to the clean ele-
ment on the board control of admins
trative matters. Besides Mr.. Stow as
president, Mr.. Eels CD was to be chair
man of the Classification Committee and
Mr. Slows best man in all board poll
tics Stafford was to be chairman of the
Supplies Committee, BrandenStein of the
Committee on Rules and Holbrook was to
have the desk job on the Finance Com
mittee.
Mr.. Slows slate was made public on
an fll-chosen day and the Crimmins faction
had ample time to work up a scheme to
beat it, 1t chose Bergerot as its presi-
dent, and Armstrong Kemp, Cole and
Gedge for the chairmanships In neither
one of these schedules was Head consid-
cred, and between the two he was left

MEXICAN DAMS
SPURS JINGLE
IN HIS WRATH
Devote and DR.. LaWIor
in DisfaVor.

Colonel Dan Burns of Mexico, celebrated
from Cow Hollow to Milpitas as one deep
" learned in the political lore Of the
Aztecs and other wiles, dealing more spe-
ciflcally with the Senatorial problem is
an angry man. Verify the colonel is rid
ing the bucking broncho of wrath and fiery
Indignation, and the jingle of his spurs
strikes terror into the bosoms Of his
henchmen.
Some things the governor Of Governor
Gage desired to keep quiet have leaked
out and others are in danger of leaking
Burns intends to make an example Of a
few of the incautous faithful" by verbal
Vitrtol used without stint, and the sur
face of their understanding is already
scared in a most scientific manner. Louis
A. Devote and Dr. Lawlor, the prison ply
sician at San Quentin, are trembling in
their shoes as a result and showing their
penitence in every possible way. Their
feats OF tongue have caused all the uproar
in the camp of the Mexican gentleman
and now they are sorry.
Devote was one Of Burns stanchest
supporters at Sacramento, and when the
Legislature adjourned he was promised
the position of Chief Food Inspector now
held by James a. Dockery. On account
Of the fact that Dockery has made so eff
ncient public servant it was deemed de-
sirable to keep quiet the intention to
place Devote in the position as long as
poSsiDle-to delay the storm until it was
too late for the other aspirants for politi-
cal plums to make any mischief by their
protests. But in his pride and JOY over
the welcome news Devote impaired 1t to
close friend as a secret. The friend
also made somebody confdant, and, as
usual, the news got to The Call before an
organ Of the boss had an inkling of
what was going on.
Now Burns is tainting the atmosphere
with a thicker cloud of cigar smoke than
ever, increasing the aroma with lot of
choice explosives and threats of what De-
vote may expect when he sees him in
person. The latter has sent all kinds of
excuses to his chief, but so far has re-
ceived the cold ear of silence.
DR.. Lawlor was TO be made Health
officer. Why, nobody seems to know,
unless ii be that the physician was born to
Office. He has held one so long that his
right seems to be unquestioned. He also
acquainted numerous friends with his
good luck, and the apple is fast turning
TO a stone in his mouth. In fact, Lawlor
is mortally afraid that he us done for. -
But both Devote and Lawlor have quit

McKINLEY's COAST VISIT.
Pressure of Official Business May
Prevent the Presidents West
ern Tour

President Mckinley may not be able
after all to visit the Pacific Coast this
year Some time ago it was announced
that the President was preparing to make
a tour of inspection of the coast and to
visit most of the important Western cit
les. The authorities of several towns in
the State were outlining plans for grand
reception. and it was accepted as a prac-
teal certainty that the President would
come. 1t appears now, however, that the
President may not be able, owing to the
pressure Of public business, to leave
Washington.
This Information was received yester-
day by gentleman who had communi-
Gated with President Mckinley to learn
his plans and his wishes. The letter was
answered by the assistant secretary. of
the President, and in part was as fol-
lows:
at is still quite uncertain whether the
pressure of public business will permit
the President TO visit the Pacific Coast
this year, and as yet no plans whatever
have been made for such a trip.
This official announcement from the
household Of the President himself settles
all further question in reference to the
matter San Franciscans may not have
the pleasure Of seeing the chief executive
this year.

holding the balance of power ana Ine eI
was much speculation as TO Whicn 9due
he would lean. 1t was the CrlmInlns s!S -
Of the Supplies and Evening Schools com
mittees. These were given him ana Head
became at once ruling power Oh Ille
board. TT
at the same time Superintendent Web
ster showed his kindly feeling for the m
huential Mr.. Crimmins by giving 10 MN Mn
the appointment of the secretary. M.
Webster was considered more NaIuaple
yeoman by the astute Crimmins than
even Mr.. Head. and therein lay MT.
he might his own political grave. He
took advantage of 1t by gong up
against" Superintendent Webster and his
executive policy at every time opportuh-
ity offered.
Head claimed publicly that Webster
was usurping the functions of members or
the board. and suggested that II the one
man power were to be inaugurated
it be done at once and Webster be given
free rein. For time Webster appar-
emily did what Head accused him Of, but
only for the reason that it was the poIlcy
of the board to let him go on until the
members had sufficient knowledge OF az
fairs to do business by themselves. AS
member of the previous board, however,
Head thought there was some considera-
ton due his experience, and he fought
Webster at every turn, Notwithstanding
they both acknowledged the same mas
ter, until finally the Crimmins people
tired of it and warned him against any
further attempts at making political cap
ital by fighting the Superintendent.
The warning went unheeded, and Head
went so far as to arbitrarily order closed
a number Of the evening schools. Web
ster would not stand such action, and
at the next meeting the board backed
him up by reopening the schools in the
face of strong opposition by Head. Then
it developed that Head was not giving
his public duties the time they required,
and Webster complained that he was
withholding needed supplies from him,
even to the postage stamps necessary to
the business of his office. That completed
Heads alienation from the Crimmins
crowd. The other side had no use for
him, and he was given the tip that he
was to be ousted. A committee headed
by President Bergerot took up his duties
and made needed inspections of the even
ing schools, and is now ready to report.
Since then Head has spent the better part
of his time in a vain attempt to square
himself with his political chaperou, Grim
minis.
1t was of no avail, however, for yester-
day the plan for his undoing was com
pleted and the resolutions that are to re-
move him were made ready for presenta-
ton tonight if the time shall prove pro-
pitious. For once the board have united
on one project, and the votes of all of
them, so il is claimed, will be cast in the
affirmative in the present case. If it &C
composites nothing else 1t will give the
clean faction an opportunity to regain
their ascendency in board matters. and
the fight bids fair to be a warm one

A SUCCESSOR TO PRICE.
Sergeant Martin Seems in Line for
Police Lieutenant.

One of the most important features
scheduled for the meeting of the Board
of Police Commissioners this evening is
the appointment of lieutenant to sue
coed Lieutenant Price, who was recently
reduced TO a sergeant. There are only
two prominent candidates for the position.
Sergeant Christensen and Sergeant John
Martin.
The friends of both these men have left
ests of their particular favorite. and opin-
ion is divided as regards the qualifications
of the two men. So far every Indication
points to the selection of Sergeant Martin
for the lieutenancy.
