SEEKING FAT JOBS
WHAT THE STATE AND COUN-
TY HAVE TO OFFER.
No Lack of Hungry Republicans
After the Fat Official Jobs of the
State and Counties.

The Oregonian says the many fat
offices in the state of Oregon at large
and in Multnomah and other counties
are to be filled in the June election
and the lean republicans who hunger
for the pie are getting ready for the
cutting.
Fattest of all the plums is that Of
state printer, which is reputed to be
worth to its possessor between $780,
900 and $4,000 a year net, provided
the emolements thereof are not tout
up" between the leaders Of the host,
whose influence goes long distance
in nominations and elections. Next
comes tEa office of state treasurer,
which is accounted worth between
SIS, 900 and $25, 1000 a year net.
AfGsr that is the office of Multnomah
sheriff, which yields to its possessor
between $4,000 and $4,000. This
third place berth used to be fourth be-
fore the secretary of states rake off
was cut down to $4,000 year from
sum said to amount to $4,000.
1t will be seen that there are to be
many chances for the hungry almost
a score in the state government and
about as many in the government of
Multnomah county, not including rs
seats which are to be filed in the
legislature at $3 day for the next 40
day session, beginning next January.
For the twoscore jobs there are likely
to be as many as 150 candidates in the
republican primaries alone.
The officers and their salaries fol
low.
State-Governor, $4,000; secretary
/ of state, $4,000; state treasurer, $4500;
supreme judge, $4500; attorney gen
eral, $4,000; state printer, fees; super
intendent of putlic instruction,
$4,000; labor commissioner, $1,000;
four circuit judges, each $1,000; two
circuit judges, each $4,000; one prose
cutting attorney, $500.
Multnomah county-Sheriff, $4500;
emoluments from feeding prisoners,
about $4,000; county Judge, $4,000;
county clerk, $2500; county auditor,
$4,000; county treasurer, $4,000; cor
oner, $1,000; two com missioners, each
$3 day; county surveyor, fees; three
Justices of peace, $4,000; three con
stables, each $500.
Multnomah county will elect two
of the circuit judges at $4,000 each
and the four others at $4,000 each will
be elected by The following judicial
districts: Second, to succeed Il. l..
Harris; eighth, to succeed Samuel
White; tenth, to succeed Robert Eakin,
in case he should run for supreme
Judge; seventh, to succeed w. r.
Ella The tenth district will also
elect prosecuting attorney to sue
ceed Clarence Crawford.

FRENZY OF CHINESE
AMERICAN CONsULs ALL TELL
OF INCREASING HATRED.
State Department Alarmed at Spread
of Boycott. Which no Con-
cessions Restrain,

Washington dispatches say it is at
least admitted that the Chinese situa-
tion is causing the greatest apprehen-
sion TO the state department. Under
the instructions sent to the legation
at Pekin and the consular officers and
agents throughout China, reports by
cable aud mail are pouring into the
department depicting the develop
ment of the anti foreign feeling among
the merchants and laboring classes
of nearly the whole of eastern China.
The extremities to which the con-
sular officers have been reduced may
be appreciated by recent dispatch
from one of the northern seaports sent
by vice consul He inclcsed an edict
by the local merchants Chamber of
Commerce, ordering the total suspen-
sion of trade in American goods.
To the viceroy of the province the
vice-consul sent peremptory letter
calling his attention to the edict, and
informing him that it was his duty
under the imperial edict issued at
Pekin August 20, denouncing the boy
colt, to suppress the propaganda, and
warning him that the United States
government would insist upon his
obedience to the imperial edict. The
significance of this attitude by the
vice-consul toward the viceroy is that
the state department fully endorses
the peremptory steps now being en-
ployed toward Chinese officials to stem
the rising tide of anti-foreign feeling
in China.
Although directed primarily against
Americans, the feeling of illwill that
seems to be growing in various parts
of the empire is interpreted by Orient
alists to have a far deeper meaning.
In word, it is declared to be anti
foreign and there are indications that
all foreigners, with the possible ex-
ception of Japan, will soon. be as keen
ly affected as are Americans.
The spread of the boycott will be
more difficult to contend with than
the boxer movement. As the exclu-
sion of the Chinese from the United
OodOoS anu niiipplHo loiduuc ouuc0u
the boycott of American goods, their
exclusion from Australia and Canada
will cause feeling against Great
Britain.
The awakening in China is believed
in the state department to have ac-
tually arrived. It is also believed to
have taken the form of the most vio
lent hatred of foreigners, particularly
Americans. A multiplicity Of cases
in addition to the exclusion laws in
this country is assigned for the move
ment. From the undercurrent Of opin-
ion at the state department, it seems
to be the belief of certain high offici-
ais that an outbreak of violence may
develop in the not distant future.
In the course of three months this
government will have two additional
regiments of infantry and six field
batteries installed in the Philippines
ready for immediate field service in
China.

ACT is MANDATORY,
county Health Oficers to be Appointed
Under New Law,

county Health Oficers to be appointed
Under New Law,
Attorney General Crawford has rem
dered an opinion holding that it is
mandatory upon county courts to ap-
point county health officers under the
provisions of the act of 1905. That
act declares that the county judge and
commissioners shall constitute coun-
ty board of health and shall employ a
secretary, who must be graduate of
a reputable medical college and reg
ularly licensed physician. The secre-
tary shall be the health officer of the
board and shall receive from the
county quarterly ~ cents per capita
for the population of the county up to
$4,000 people, the population being de-
termiaed by multiplying the number
of children of school age by four.
AS this compensation will amount
TO 6 cents per capita per year, the
office created by that act win be de-
sirable one in a number Of counties of
the state. The same act requires the
city council of every incorporated
town to employ health officer at the
same rate of compensation. No coun-
ty can pay its health officer less than
800 year, and no city or town less
than $40. So far none of the coun-
ties seem to have paid any attention
to the law, but as his opinion was rem
dered at the request of the secretary of
State and Board Of Health, it is prob
able that county courts will be com
PEELED to observe it.

Skipper of Tugboat wallowa When No

skipper of Tugboat Wa1lowa When No
tilted of Valencia Wreck Refused Help
Had it not been for the timidity of
the captain of the tugboat Wallowa,
which was lying at Port Crescent at
the time the Valencia was wrecked
near Cape Beale, every passenger ON
board the doomed vessel might have
been saved, says the Portland Journ-
al. The captains of two tugs at Neah
bay were also notified of the wreck,
but they declined to go to the scene
until they received orders from the
home office at Seattle.
Additional light was thrown ON the
horrors this morning by letter re-
ceived by District Forecaster Beales
from Chief Operator l.. &. Sutton.
stationed at Port Crescent In his
letter to Mr.. Beales Sutton declares
that the Monday night the Valencia
was wrecked the government wire
connecting Port Crescent went down,
breaking in 40 different places. He
describes it as one of the most violent

repairing it was started at once and
by Wednesday at noon it was in good
shape again. He at once notified
the captain of the big Wallowa tug
of the wreck, the first man in a posi-
tion to perform any real service who
had been told of the affair. Operator
Sutton declares that the captain re-
piled that he was stranger in those
waters and would not take any chanc-
es. Frantic with despair, the opera
tor sent a message to the captains of
tugs at Neah bay and implored them
to do something to save the people on
the Valencia. They sent word to the
operator that they were subject to the
orders from Seattle, and until they
got permission they would be power
less to do anything. Mr.. Sutton then
Immediately notified the home office
at Seattle. But the officials Of the
tugboat company refused to take any
action in the matter until % hours
had elapsed.

Seven Devils district for the con-
struction of the Ok Bow power plant
