WILL Be TWO CHANGES N
CITY APPO|NT|VE OFFICES
City Engineer Ward and Water Commissioner Sher-
burne Said to Be Slated for the AK by Mayor. Elect
Halbert-Chief Inscho and Assistant Police Officials
to Be Retained.

Now that the smoke Of battle Is
somewhat cleared away after the
city primaries and city election. there
has been considerable speculation as
to the appointive officers. Under
the city charter the mayor has the
appointing power and is really at the
head of the police department. also
has the appointment of the police
judge, city engineer, water commits
sioner, and health officer. In all
probability Engineer Ward and Wa
ter Commissioner Sherburne will not
be on the city pay roll next year.
Mayor-elect Halbert states that he
has nothing to make public as yet
on appointments. He stated to the
Daily World that he had made up
the offices but would not make them
known publicly until after his install
lation in office.
1t is freely admitted, however,
that Engineer Ward is 10 receive the
axe. The next city engineer will
either be j. D. Sidener, who at tie
present time is with the engineers
office, and has charge of the sewer
construction, or f. c. Powell. former
ly with the city engineers office but
now connected with an irrigation en-
terprise in the Methcw.
Mayor Halbert is inclined towards
F. c. Powell, but it is said that
portion of the council favor the ele-
walton of Mr. Sidener. While tho
appointive power is with the mayor.
yet the confirmatio ton of the appoint
ments lies with the council aud il
is said that at least three or four
members of the council are favora-
bic to Mr.. Sidener, because his work
for the city has been entirely salts
factory and he Is considered a thor
oughly competent man.
c. T. White will undoubtedly be
the next water commissioner in place
of Pat Sherburne who has been chief
of this department for years.
Chief Inscho with his assistants.
Robert Nelson and Fred Hauser, will
occupy their present positions for an
other term. Judge Palmer will be
reappointed police Judge and DR..
Kaupp will again be health officer,
1t Is expected that Sam Campbell
will still draw the lines on the fire
team but what action will be taken
on Building Inspector Throw is not
known.
The appointments will be made at
the first meeting of the new council
in January and while the appoint
ments come from the mayor. yet the
confirmation must be made by the
city council. 1t is understood that
the above list of nominees are agree
able to the members-elect of the city
council, the only split will be on the
engineer, and this may be worked
out an an equitable basis prior to the
meeting of the new council in Janu-
airy.

TOO SENSITIVE
To SETTLE
BUSINESS
j. w. w. Macdonald Left
Suddenly Without Com
pleting Settlements.

J. w. W. Macdonald, local man.
ager of Macdonald & Sons. of Wat
sonville, Cal, has left these parts
in peculiar manner. The firm is
absolutely reliable and no fears are
felt by those who have good accounts
with the firm regarding the payment
of all bills The gentleman told a
friend a week ago, on the day when
he departed. that he was leaving a
few obligations unpaid, but that they
could and would be settled by cor
respOndence.
Investigation shows that the sud-
den departure of Macdonald was not
due to any desire on his part to es-
cape financial obligations, but ne-
cause of a supersensitive tempera-
ment. He was having some mis-
understanding with a few OF the
ranchers with whom contracts to
pack their fruit have resulted in
vigorous complaints regarding the
disposal of culls. The misunder-
standing and explanation were more
than Macdonald care dto face.
He is said to be young man and
thi sis his first experience in having
sole management of business. He
seems to have lacked tact in facing
unpleasant situations and adjusting
conditions.
Another member of the firm, a
brother of Macdonald, was here re.
Gently and stated that the business
had been satisfactory here on the
whole and that they would be here
again next year. If this proves true,
it is improbable that J. w. w. Mac
donald will be in chrage.

resentatives of the telegraph and
telephone interests of the country
met here today for conference with
the interstate commerce commission
regarding the meaning and applica,
tions of the amended commerce law
to the telegraph and telephone com
panies. The chief point to be de.
cided is whether the sections of the
law relating to the issuance OF
franks, forbidding rebates and un-
due preference. and requiring the
fling of tariffs and changes apply to
the telephone and telegraph com
panies engaged in interstate bust
ness the same as it applies to rail-
roads. - ~

PUTS DAMPER
ON OPEN
President Taft Speaker at
Session of Open River
Congress.

Washington, D. c., Dec. THE
seventh annual gathering of the Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors Congress
opened for a three days session to-
day, delegates from all sections of
the country being in attendance.
President. Taft S. welcoming address
was first on the program and while
brief carried statement that proved
unusually interesting to his hearers
Taft said the importance of the river
navigation had diminished of late
years with the development of rail-
now confronted, his hearers, he de-
clared, was the union and co-opera-
ton of railroads and rivers. Termin-
al difficulties OF river transportation
must be overcome, the President said.
before this problem could be solved.
Trunk line water lines from the
Middle West to the sea are needed
declared Perry A. Randall of Fort
Wayne, Ind, president of the Fort
Wayne Waterways association.
The Middle West he said, lis
great empire hedged in by insult
ficient transportation facilities. 1t
demands it shall be unfettered, and
unless it is, it can not have a fair
chance in the markets of the world.
There is more urgent need of cheap
transportation from the Middle West
than from any other part of the ma
ticn. However, much other water
ways are needed, the present de-
nlands relief for the Middle West.
The middle western states produce
three-fourths of the corn of the world
and three-fourths of all the farm
products of the nation. These states
have been cursed by the long railway
haul and not only the people Of those
states but every consumer OF their
products have paid an unwarranted
tax.
eff the government could spend
OO,OOO,OOO on waterways in five
years, it would save to the people
hereafter every year mere than the
entire amount.
Inland waterways and harbors, as
we'll as those on the coast and the
tidal rivers, should be improved by
the national government. This was
the appeal made today to the Nation
al Rivers and Harbors Congress by
Walter S. Dickey, of Kansas City.
president of the Missouri River Navl-
cation company.
When the improvement of rivers
and harbors first was undertaken by
the national government, he said.
lit was natural that it should begin
with the harbors of the coasts and
the tidal rivers Millions have been,
and are still being, spent on them.
to which the whole country cheerful

we're expended on the great lakes.
Now. comes the turn of the western
rivers.

moved from private control or DOM

same advantages inland as though

SOCIALIST s
CAST 1880
VOTES
Wildberger Easily Wins in
the Contest for City
Clerk.

Charles H. Wildberger, for clerk,
won easily against his socialist OPP
ponent in the city election yester-
day, winning over George Egan by
vote of $50 against 100, a Wild
berger majority of 202. Egan polled
the highest vote of his party.
NJ P O'Conner. the socialist cam
didate for councilman at large and
who was voted for in the three pre-
cincts, cast but 1875 votes to $50 for
Egan. There were but 500 votes
cast in the three wards. showing the
lack of interest, and about 500 votes
short of the vote cast at the city
primaries.
The ballots were easily counted
and the results were known in the
three wards by 10 O'Clock. The re-
suit of the vote shows the socialist
gain in the city. In the city election
next year, the socialists need not
nominate by convention as this year,
in order to get on the ballot, and the
ticket has regular standing now
just the same as the republican tick
ct.
Sam r. Sumner, candidate for city
attorney, leads the ticket by 49S
votes: 1913 for Halbert and Ara for
Nowlan. The results in the three
wards are as follows:
