The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1903-11-12

New York, Nov. AFTER a remark
able campaign, in which there were
united against him nearly all the news
papers and practically every minister of
religion in this city, George B. McClel-
Ian, son of the civil war general, is
elected the third mayor of Greater New
York over Seth Low, fusionst, the pres
eut mayor, by plurality of 1,414.
Richard M. Grout was elected comp
troller and Charles V. Fornes president
Of the board of aldermen. The two men
were on the fusion ticket and were en-
dorsed by Tammany whereupon the fu-
sionists took their names from the bal
lots and nominated other candidates.
It was the nomination Of Grout and
Fornes by Tammany that caused Hugh
Mclaughlin, the veteran leader of the
Kings comfy Democracy, to bolt and de-
clare that he would not support men
who were not Democrats.
In spite of this detection Mcclellan,
Grout and Fornes carried Kings county.
The management of their campaign
was taken over by State Senator Pat
rick McCsrren, whom Mclaughlin re-
fused to aid. A surprise was in the
low vote of Devery, former chief of po-
lice, who ran on an independent ticket,
which was given practically no support.

PROJECT APPROVED.
Pia~ for Improvement ef Upper CO.
lumbia River Is Adopted.

Washington, Nov. 9.-Acting Secre-
tary OF War Oliver has approved the
plan submitted by the special board of
army engineers for the improvement of
the upper Columbia river between The
Dalles and Cello. At the same tine
the hitherto secret contents of the
boards report were made known.
The plan submitted by the board and
approved by Acting Secretary Oliver
provides for the construction of a ship
canal eight and one-half miles long
from Big Eddy to the head of Cello
falls. The canal is to be sixty-two feet
wide at the bottom and eight feet in
depth, so as to accommodate ships
drawing seven feet. The plan calls
for four locks, the first at the upper en-
trance, with lift OF seventeen feet the
second at Five Mile rapids, with lift
of seven feet, and tandem lock at the
lower entrance, with lift of sixty-sev.
en- feet. The locks will accommodate
ships having maximum length of $50
feet.
The estimated cost of the canal and
LOCKS is 81, 125 900.
The last river and harbor act author
lied the war department to proceed
with the improvement of this part of
the river according to the Harris pro-
iect, provided the special board to be
appointed should not devise less ex-
pensive plan. The estimated cost of
the Hart project was few dollars less
than 81, 000, 900, but the present boarl
finds that the work could not be per
formed for that sum, and that in fact,
the present project would cosG the gov
eminent less. The acting secretary of
war therefore gave his approval.
The department already has 81 ,000,-
900 or more Immediately available for
the work. The propoed improvement
will give one of the greatest wheat re-
gions in the Pacific Northwest low rates
of shipment to the sea.

VESSEL ABANDONED.
Charles Nelson WaterlOgged on
Southern Oregon Coast.

Astoria, Or, Nov. 9.-The steamer
Charles Nelson. which departed from
Astoria Nov. 3, for San Francisco, be-
came waterlogged off Heceta, 200 miles
down the coast from this port, and was
abandoned by her passengers and crew.
News of the loss of the vessel reached
here Saturday, when the tug Sea Rover
arrived from San Francisco. The Mel
SOD had cargo of lumber-about 1885,
600 feet, loaded at Westport, near AS
toria. The steamer carried big deck
load, and, according to the statements
made to the officers of the Sea Rover
by officers of the Inflated vessel, the
disaster resulted from the working of
her deckload in a terrific gale which
was encountered off the Oregon coast.
The stanchions which held the deck.
load in place were carried away, open
ing up seams in the deck. Heavy
seas washed over the vessel and her
hold soon filled. The entire deckload
went into the sea.

CHICAGO FOREST FIRE.
Confiagration Destroys Shrubbery in
Graceland Cemetery.

Graceland Cemetery.
Chicago, Nov. "a forest fire was
the unusual spectacle enjoyed by hum
dreds of Chicagoans last night. Four
companies OF fremen fought the flames
for hours.
The fire started in the barns of Grace
land cemetery. In few minutes the
hay sheds were blazing fierecly. After
destroying the buildings and wagons
the fire spread to the shrubbery growth
and trees that covered tract of almost
four square blocks. The loss will ex-
coed 100000.
The blaze was unique in the history
OF the fire department, only a single
alarm being turned in. The fremen
fought the blaze until they were ex-
hausted. The tract combines almost
virgin forest with carefully cultivated
shrubbery. Rabbits, squirrels, gophers
and other small animals abounded in
the Enclosure. Scores of little animals
we're killed as they ran among the
crowd, while others were captured and
afterwards turned loose. Two frame
buildings. three greenhouses, twenty
wagons and many tons of hay were de-
stroyed, while the large growth of
shrubbery and trees was almost con-
sumed.

QUICK TIME TO ORIENT.
President Hill Proposes to Cut sched-
ute From London To Japan.

ute FROM bOnuOn to Oapahs
Chicago, Nov. 9.-Officials Of many
RAILROADS are much interested in the
plan of President Hill, of the Great
Northern, to popularize new route
for ound-the-world passenger traffic,
on the completion OF the two great
steamships which will ply between Pr
get Sound ports and the Orient, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The results of extensive investiga-
tions by the passenger department are
given in report just submitted to
President Hill. showing that the time
from London to japan ports by the
principal steamship lines by way OF
the Suez canal and the time proposed
hy the New York Chicago-St. Paul rail
lines and the Great Northern rail and
steamship lines would compare as fol-
lows: BY Peninsular 4 Oriental steam
ship line, sixty days; by North German
Lloyd lines, forty-nine days; by Great
Northern rail and steamship route
twenty-five days.
This statement shows the great sav-
ing by the Great Northern route of
thirty five days, compared with the
Peninsular q Oriental route and twen-
ty-four days compared with the Ger
man line. The time by the new route
would be made up as follows: London
to New York, seven days; New York
to Puget Sound ports, foui days; Puget
Sound to Yokohama, Japan, fourteen
days; total, twenty-five days.

PARKS GOES TO PRISON.
Says He Is the Victim of System
That Is Older Than He.

New York, Nov. 9.-Before he left
his cell here to begin serving his sem
tencn o. more than two years in the
Sing Sing prison for extortion of mon
ey from his employers, Samuel Parks,
ex-walking delegate of the local House
smiths and Bridgemen's union, called
about him number of newspaper men
to bid them farewell. In 90 dong he
made the following statement:
'It has only taken them little over
seven years for them to get me here.
1t has been hard fight and l have
lost; that's all. I'm down and out,
and l know when I've got enough. I'll
be forgotten in less than year, except
by some OF the boys who thought there
was some good in me, and Pm sorry for
it. Every laboring man in this country
should remember me for years to come.
| should be warning to them. I'm a
victim of system that is older than l
am. and that is the habit of having
maoney transactions with employers.
That put me here.
"The salvation Of the unions lies In
stopping that practice at once. They
must give up fines, waiting time, back
paw for strikes and everything like
that. That's the loophole through
which this grazing as they call it,
creeps in. The employers never leave
any tracks. could name 100 employ
ers here that have made a practice OF
using labor unions against competitors.
| know plenty of employers that have
made fortunes by the bribery of a
young fellow who has never made more
than couple of dollars day and
who has been held in authority by his
uniOn."

Bates Carries Massachuse,,s.

Boston, Nov. 4.-Joehn L. Bates was
reelected governor by a plurality of
ABOUT 81 900 over William A. CASTOR,
the Democratic candidate. With a
dozen cities and towns still to hear
from, Bates had lead of 32,325, but
as the missing towns are all strongly
Republican there is every indication
that the plurality of the Republican
candidate would be practically the same
as that last year, although the total
vote may run higher.
