tice of the Peace. In aspiring to that
office | would just as soon ask a Re-
publican, as a Democrat, Socialist or
nonpartisan for his support, as the
office should be and during my in.
cumbency always has been conducted
without regard to politics.
| have resided in Clatsop County
for "a years, my whole interests are

with impartiality and fairness and
with a due regard to the interest of
the taxpayers. The annual appropria-
tions of the County Court for the
Coroner's office which includes, physi.
clans, jurors and witness fees and
other necessary expenses such as
boat hire have been 100000 and the
actual expense has often been much
below this figure. have always

NEW YORK, May 27--Although the
skyscraperS is the distinctive feature
OF New York architecture and this
city possesses the tallest building in
the world. with the new $50 foot Me
tropolitan tower at the head OF the
list, vigorous warfare on this class
OF structure has been begun here, Ac.
cording to its opponents the sky
scraper'S list ID sins is long one 1t
adds to the congestion of the streets,
already very serious problem in the
downtown district. 1t shuts off light
and air from other buildings while
creating tremendous drafts through
the canyon like depths that are form
ed by its walls. The tifty-story build
ing is uneconomic, it is said, because
of the increased cost of construction
to provide against tremendous strains
and wind pressure. Fire depart
ments officials declars that con
flagration five hundred feet above the
street level cannot be fought success
sfully with any apparatus yet devised.
To the claim that these buildings are
proof against fire, they point to the
recent destruction Of the Parker
building which was supposed to be an
excellent example Of fire proof con
struction. A number of civic organi-
cations have adopted resolutions
against the erection OF any more
buildings of enormous height. Cur
iously enough one OF the most active
opponents OF the skyscraper is the
architect OF the Singer building, who
is responsible for several OF the struc-
lures against which he protests. Now
the novelists have taken hand in the
agitation and in a story printed in the
June number OF Appleton's a convinc'
ing picture is given OF daring band
of criminals who hold up the whole
city by taking possession Of the top
floors of skyscraper. and arming
themselves with high explosives
While this possibility may be disre-
garded as a practiced danger, it has
been pointed out often by military
experts that New Yorks soa9ng
buildings would afford a fine target
for the long range guns Of hostile
fleet and that hhe whole lower city
could easily be reduced to ruins in
case Of war If this is true the idea
OF the Appleton writer may not be
so fanciful as it seems. At any rate
there is a rising slogan which declares
that while the skyscraper need not go
more Of the most extreme kind shall
come.

New York is now the gateway ioI
more than third OF all the grain
which is exported from the United
States This fact comes as a sur
prise to many persons who were not
aware OF the big part that this city
plays in the agricultural business OF
the country. The statement is sup
ported by government statistics, how
ever, Reports OF the Department OF
Commerce and Labor show that over
l00,0O0,000 bushels OF grain are row
received at this port every year for
consumption and shipment abroad
The months OF heaviest exports are
now over but the food continues TO
pour into the city. II bids fair to be
increased in the next ten days by the
arrival of record shipments OF wheat
and corn from the western primary
markets following the opening OF
transportation on the Great Lakes.
The size OF these shipments is an
interesting commentary on the vol
ume OF the actual grain which is rep.
resented by the transactions on the
Chicago Board OF Trade and other
exchanges. The recent movement
set a new weekly record OF grain ship
ments from Chicago. Over l9,OOO,Oo0
bushels of cereals will have been ship
ped from that city alone by the end
of the month All the available YES
sells on the lakes have been pressed
into service to carry the grain from
Chicago, Duluth and other ports.
Not all OF this huge outpour OF grain
will reach New York, however, as
some OF it will go to other eastern
points for milling and export.
The death OF THE" Allen, the
veteran gambler who for thirty years

it is doubtful. In fact his friends in
sist that the original "wickedest man

that The" received the appclIaion
through confusion Of names, by
most New Workers he will be re-
membered for the diversion caused by
his warfare with successive police
captains who raided his place as
many as a hundred times in the course
of year, but never succeeded IN put
ting him out OF business. He retired
voluntarily two years ago. 1t Is an
interesting commentary on the Sup
posedly enormous profits Of gambling
places that after forty years as a
gambler Allen died comparatively
poor man.
