Another Republican Secretary Of st


Henry Clews, the wel-known New
York banker, was asked by two young
men who are to cast their first vote for
President this election, which is the
safer candidate to vote for, President
Roosevelt or Judge Parker. Some con-
densed extracts and statements of Mr..
Clews' answer are herewith submitted:
Your question to me was my own

Roosevelt and his party are of the
same mind, but Parker and his party are
of many contradictory minds. The Re

| within itself concerning issues. 1t has
been unanimous in knowing what it stood
for. The Democratic party has never
agreed upon anything, but abounds in
schisms, factions and cliques. They are
not united to-day. and have not been
united since the civil war. In 1864 their
convention declared, in its platform, that

for Mr.. Bryan in 1896 and 1900, although
he did not like Bryan, and says now that

the gold Democrats swung back into line
behind Bryan and free silver. Like Hill,
they said, 4 am Democrat and that

Tacoma Lumberman: Will r.
Humes, manager OF the Tongue Point
Lumber Company. Astoria, Ore, has
about recovered his pristine beauty.
On August 10 he attempted to change
from tug to schooner: the man
holding the ladder let It slip. Mr..
Humes fell some feet and struck his
nose on the deck. A plaster Of paris
cast was necessary. This did not i'm
prove his appearance; still, he kept
about his business. While his nose
was in splints and plaster, he had oc-
casion to visit Portland. One evening
he stepped onto the rear platform of
a street car. The conductor took one
look at his face, handed him over his
cash fares and started to run! At
least, that's what the gang in Port
land tell on him.

Public Schools Of City Opened
Yesterday. Many Pupils
Being Enrolled.
TOTAL GAIN IS SlxTY.stVEN
Would Have Been
Greater Had .Adair School
Been Opened With the
Other Schools.

The schools of the city were opened
yesterday and the enrolment shows
substantial increase over the opening
day year ago. The Adair school en-
rollment was not as great as had been
expected, for the reason that school
win not be begun there for a week.
Yesterday pupils reported only for en-
rollment, and the number was not as
great as otherwise would have been
the case. The total enrolment lex
elusive of the high schooD was ll45,
as compared with 1859 last year, The
high school enrolment was 90. as COM
pared with 81 last year, The total In
crease was 81. The enrolment in the
various schools was as follows: AL
derbrook 112; Adair, 27S; Shively, EOS;
Mcclure, zoe: olney, 10; Taylor SO;
high school. %: total, 1887. To relieve
the congestion and give the teachers
more time for their classes. two classes
were taken from Shively school, one
being sent to Mcclure and the other
to Olney. In each room this year there
will be but two divisions in the down.
town schools. The arrangement Is con-
sidered desirable for the general well
fare OF the schools. although some OF
the parents may not take kindly to It.
One of the teachers, Miss Florence Tur-
ner, Of Shively school, yesterday had
a total Of SO pupils at her room.

BAR DREDGE
IS RUN DOWN
Major Guy Howard CoIlides With
Chinook During Heavy Fog
Yesterday Morning.

The Quartermaster steamer Major
Guy Howard collided with the bar
dredge Chinook In the lower harbor
yesterday morning. and as conse-
quence Is out OF commission. The
weather was so thick that the Chinook
could not work on the bar and she was
lying at anchor In the lower harhor.
The Howard was on her morning run
TO the forts on the north shore OF the
river. The fog made 1t impossible for
Captain Gordon to see more than a
few yards, and he ran along under slow
bell. sounding his whistle every min
ute or so. When he reached the vicin-
ity In which the Chinook was anchored
he exercised great caution. The sound
Of the Chinook's fog bell was heard.
but created the belief In Captain Cor
don's mind that the dredge was lying
some distance off. Suddenly the Chi
nook showed up In the fog and be-
fore the Howard's engines could be
reversed she crashed into the big
dredge. The Howard struck her
astern. The bow OF the quartermaster
steamer was partly carried away and
the collision caused steam pipe In
her engine room to break. Chief
Engineer Rober was at his sta
tIon and by promptly shutting of the
steam probably saved the lives OF the
men in the engine room. The Howard
was disabled by the break In the steam
pipe and a launch from the Chinook
towed her to Flavel, where she Is
awaiting orders.

act with a beautifully rendered cornet

System Of Drainage.
COUNCIL HEARS PROTESTS
Taylor Avenue Improvement
Plans Are Not satisfactory
and All Bids for Work
Are Rejected.

The Third ward is again in trouble.
Back in the hills there, water has gath
cred in several pools. and this water
runs down hill, as Councilman Nord-
strom explained, and causes the prop
erty of the district to slide. Months
ago the matter was brought to the at
tention of the council, and finally. at
last nights session. resolutions were
offered with the end in view of rem
edying the defect. One of the resolu-
tions provided for the construction of
a drain on Thirty-fourth street from
Harrison avenue to Duane street An
other privided for a system of drains
on Irving avenue and Thirty fourth
street. Both measures were laid over
until tonight, when an adjourned meet
ing will be held.
1t seems that the trouble in the east
end is due to the dam put in at a
Chinese garden on the hill. Council
man Leinenweber wanted to build the
drain up Thirty-fifth street and tap
the lake on the hill, while Mr.. Belland
thought the system agreed upon was
Just about the right thing. Ore in

who declared that he had been working
day and night to keep intact few
houses which he owns in that neck,
uf the woods, and others declared that
they wanted relief. Some of them said
their ground was included in. the pro-,
posed assessment district when, as a,
matter of fact, the drain could be of
no possible benefit TO them. and gem
orally there was a miyup all around
lust as might have been expected in the
troublous Third ward. william Bell
characterized the proposed assessment
as "extortion," and F. C. Reed shared
the belief. Street Superintendent
Kearney said it was the height of fol-
ly to run sewers along cross streets.
He said he once paid for such sewer
but that, If the good Lord would for
give him, he'd never do 1t again. To-
night the matter will be threshed over.
Taylor Avenue Improvement.
The Taylor avenue improvement will
necessitate tonight's adjourned meet
ing. Mr.. Lebeck explained that the
plans for the work had been improp-
erly framed, as they provided that the
street should run through sliding prop
erty. He wanted the whole matter
taken up again and Strengthened out,
and at his instance all the bids re-
ceived for the work were rejected. TO
avoid the sliding ground the street will
be improved for a certain distance on
the south side, then the improvement
will be switched to the north side, and
finally win be brought back to the
north side. AS the work will cost about
$4,000, care will be exercised.
