MAN GOES OVERHEARD
FROM THE LURLINE
FRED BRANDON, A SAILOR, IN
DRUNKEN sTUPoR, GOES
TO HIS DEATH IN THE NIGHT

On Monday evening last when the
Kamm liner Lurline departed from
this city for Portland, she had on
board as passenger one Fred
Brandon, supposedly, from the talk
he put up, sailor from the Ham
mond steamship Geo. w. Fenwick.
He purchased d ticket for Portland
and went on board just before the
Lurlinc sailed. His talk and actions
in the cabin became 50 offensive after
awhile that Purser Harry Blanchard
compelled him to 60 below and re-
main there, or until his liquor had
died out. when II was the intention Of
the officers TO see that he got the
berth he had paid for. While down
below he fell asleep upon some Of the
cargo and the crew had almost for
gotten him 50 quiet was II after be
ceased his drunken rawlings
All at once, and while the boat was
en- route, between Altoona and Pill
Ter Rock, and opposite Elliot's Point,
Brandon suddenly awoke, and made
q run for the anyway door, which he
threw open. One Of the deckhands
saw him go and thinking perhaps that
something was wrong or that he
migt make a mis-step, started after
him, but Brandon had gotten the
open and flinging himself out into the
night made straight for the port bow
Of the steamer and plunged over
board into the icy Columbia.
The steamer was at once stopped
by Captain McCully and backed to
the spot where the unhappy man
went over, but no sign was had Of
him and the boat KEEP, on her way the
captain reporting the case at Cath
Iamet.
Brandon was very drunk when he
bought his ticket but was not noisy
in. the Office, and was allowed 10 60
on board with the idea that he would
soon seek his sleeping quarters and
retire for the night, But this concIu-
sion was sadly dispelled, with the
dreadful results here Eecorded.

The Mayors Message

Ing MhyVL MeDaAbN
While Mayor Smith pointed out in
bis message Monday that the city
win again face deficit this year I'M
less all Of the ordinary expenditures
are kept closely down, he did not
advert 10 the fact that AZ the begin
ming Of next year the city viii be
called upon TO pay $4,000 Of the
principal due on municipal bonds.
This sum. Of course, is in addition TO
the $1,000 payable annually on bond
interest Absolutely no provision
has been made for the payment Of
this $4,000 early next year. Ot
course il Is true thar il Is possible
but not more possible-that this SlO,-
600 viii be paid out 81 the taxes ser
cured for next year. But meantime
this big liability which must be paid
in a year is apparently not being TAX
en- into consideration at all, and i
win not be possible 10 pay il out Of
the funds this year, even Il the city
was not already facing deficit. Two
courses seem open. One Is to en-
deavor 70 renew the bonds, and
keep on paying interest mot forget.
ting the drain on the city that the
$1,000 interest is annually making)
Or else 10 increase the city levy TO at
least IS mills next year, But when
City Treasurer Dealey was asked
about the matter yesterday he said.
n am going to pay those bonds when
they fall due" and in that event il
will mean that only one course Is
open, namely, TO increase the levy 10
Is mills.

County Court Today


In county court today the question
of finally fixing the county levy is
likely to arise. The court Is awaiting to
hear from Salem as to the amount Of
money the state is calling for, and
that Is expected today All the Off
GERS appointed by the court by the
year, including the county health
officer, county overseer Of the poor
and the road superintendents, will re-
ceive their appointments today or
tomorrow DR.. Nellie Vernon, who
Is the county health Office, is said to
be likely TO receive the place again.
II is understood that there is no
other candidate for the place, DR..
Fulton. who for many years has filed
the position Of county oyerseer Il
the poor, will doubtless again be
given the position. From all that can
be learned there is not likely 70 be any
radical changes amog the various dis
trict road superintendents, The
question OF the county poor will be
an important matter for considera-
ton. Those who are demaRding re-
lief from the county for the coming
year are expected to appear before
the court now, either in person or by
proxy, and show the reasons why
they should be given aid.

PEOPLE In OTHER SECTIONS OF

MARUOyT WITH TAFIsS

Denver. Sept. 18.-If President Taft
gets through Colorado without hear
ing q faint inkling of political scrap
he will be extremely lucky. There
Is no need denying the fact that there
Is much bitter feeling manifested in
this state over the program, especial
ly in relation to the Denver end.
Those in charge saw fit to use as
their assistants and as their commit
tees persons whom the other factions
maintain are all Of one political be-
lief. The strange part about 1t is
that those that are handling the af-
fair are in part those whe are exiled
last fall. What is known as the Wv
ian faction secured about as many in
vitations to the reception and to the
auditorium meeting as could be sent
in a sealed envelope with a one cent
stamp. They now claim that the
other faction are using the occasion Of
the presidents visit to better their
own strength by sending invitations
throughout the state to come in and
are accompanying the invitations.
They also claim that these invf-
tations are going to those who were
classed as leaders against the regular
Republican organization last fall. In
other words, the charge is made that
one wing of the party is using the
presidents visits to its own benefit,
as against the other wing.
So far it Is claimed there is nothing
to show that Colorado ever possessed
a Democrat The general committees
do not include them. even though the
president will be the special guest OF
Senator Hughes and the reception
guest at the state house Of Gov. Shaf-
roth.
The people Of the state need not
feel that this discrimination extends

he leaves this city. he will b at \
