"A Democrat will be elected in the First District, and to do so at this time the office must seek the man."

He is now practicing before the Land Office, and takes a great interest in politics. The Judge talked freely on state and Na tional issues, and has something to say regarding the necessary requirements of a Congressional nominee. "The people of Oregon," he says, "favor the mandatory provisions of the Mays law as to the election -of. United States Sen ator; also flat salaries for all state of ficials, and, lastly, though not least the taxation of all intangible assets, as pro vided in the. Harris bill. All of these measures had the indorsement of Gov ernor Chamberlain, and were loyally sup ported by every Democratic member of the Legislature, while the Mays law was disregarded and the other measures were Ignominlously defeated by the Republican majority. "The people of this state indorse the Democratic doctrine of free and unre stricted commercial relations with our island possessions and the repeal of all tariffs on trust-made articles, as. ably and persistently advocated by The Oregonlan for years past "Who do I think will be the candidates? Well, no one will know who the Demo cratic nominee will bo until the conven tion meets, but it now looks as if ex Commissioner Hermann will be the Re publican nominee, but I think Gatch of Salem would be a strong candidate if he has the courage of his convictions to boldly avow his public declaration made at McMInnvIHe three years ago In defense of Senator Simon's position on the Porto Rico tariff measure and for free trade with all territory over which the flag floats; but this is Democratic doctrine, and can he do it? "We should -have a Democratic Con gressman In touch with the Democrats of Congress t secure large appropriations for our harbors and the Lewis and Clark Exposition. "No, I am not a candidate.

UTAH'S FAIR COMMISSION PERSOXXEX. OP THE MEMBERS AP POINTED BY GOVERNOR. George P. Salman Is a. Native Sen and F. J. Klesel Has Eastern Oregon Interests. SALT LAKE, Utah, March 16. Special.) The character of the Utah commission for the Lewis and Clark Exposition gives abundant assurance that the Interests of this state will be well cared for at the Fair. It is made up of men who are sure to awaken interest In the Exposition in this region and direct attention of inter mountain people to Its Importance. While all four appointments are good ones, that of George P. Hoi man Is espe cially appropriate, as he is a native Ore gonlan and among the first white children born In the state. He was in the lumber business In Oregon for a long time, and still has interests there. He Is a lumber dealer here, but Is also interested In min ing and has a good knowledge of the re sources of the state that will be helpful in his work as Commissioner. Another member of the commission who is- interested In Oregon is Fred J. Klesel. of Ogden. Mr. Klesel has mercantile and other Interests In Eastern Oregon, with headquarters concerning the future of that section of the state. He is of the rustler type, and one who will Bee that the Port land. Exposition gets what It Is entitled to in this part of the country. An Interesting figure among the Com missioners is Hiram 3. Clawson, one of the oldest bishops of the Mormon Church Bishop Clawson came to Utah In the early days, and has had much experience on boards where the kind of ability needed in this Instance was required. He Is thor oughly familiar, of course, with Utah's resources, and can do much In the way of getting interesting historical exhibits.

He is engaged In developing large copper mines In the southern part of the state, and in the short time he has been here has made a fortune.

Irrigation "Will Transform Entire "White Salmon Valley. CHENOWITH. Wash., March 16. (Spe cial.) The Little White Salmon Valley Is to become a big strawberry patch.

Xcw Lighthouse-Tender Makes S ac cess ful Trial Trip. ASTORIA. Or., March 16. (Special.) The final builder's trial trip of the lighthouse-tender Heather was made this, morning. It proved even more success ful than was anticipated, and her accept ance by the department is practically as sured. The trip this morning was out to the lightship and return, but was not a speed test although the vessel was re quired to develop 750-horsepower with 100 pounds of steam, when she is allowed to carry 127 pounds. In a run of an hour she developed SlO-borsepower, logged 13& knots and at times made 11 knots or over. The Heather had a race with the tug Ta toosh, which is a 13-knot boat and beat her with a good margin to spare. This afternoon the crew of the Manzanlta was transferred to the Heather and she was taken to the buoy station to load gear and supplies. This work will probably require about two weeks, after which the tender will proceed to Portland, where an electric light plant will be Installed and the boat fitted for the service.

Cali fornia, mention of which was made In The Oregonlan at the time of the discovery. Is to be found In unlimited quantity. A company of California men, headed by Harry Wood, have taken up a number of claims covering the mineral, and are pre paring to give the proposition a complete and systematic development with the view of placing the stone on the market The stone occurs on Indian Creek in place and In a true fissure. The ledge Is over ten "feet in .width, and is cut in twain by Indian Creek. So vast Is the quantity of the stone that the waters of the creek are'mrsed blue by flowing over the mineral. Great chunks of it can. be quarried out ef a ton's weight Three "varieties of the stone are found, varying from the dark blue and green to an almost pure and transparent white. These shades embrace tho most valuable and highly prized of the stone. .These are the varieties of the mineral that are sought by the people of" the Orient, who have, since time began, apparently, used Jade for 'rings, bracelets, vases and fine wares. It Is also a sacred stone with them, and Idols are made of it The French, as late as 1721, believed Jade to be possessed of healing qualities. French soldiers applied it to their sides to cure sldeaches, stomach and groin complaints. As before mentioned In The Oregonlan, this Is the first time jade lias been found in place on the North American Conti nent Articles made of It have been found in Central America, New Zealand, the Islands of the Pacific, and even Alaska; but the material In all cases came origi nally from the Orient For many years past nearly the entire supply of jade has come from the Kara-Kas Valley, East ern Turkestan. The Jade of the recent strike occurs in a formation and contact of serpentine. This same formation extends north the whole length of Josephine County. This fact gives rise to the belief that the stone will be found In quantity In various sec tions of western Josephine. Wade "Will Serve as Commissioner. PENDLETON, Or., March 16. (Special.) C. B.

Sketch of the Life of a Pioneer "Who "Was Faithful to Every Duty. ELM A. Wash., March 16. (Special) The 'evidences of esteem' and respect in which the late Mr. Ruddell was held by this community, of which he . has been a resident since 1S79. were strikingly mani fested yesterday by the large number of people who came to attend the funeral, a. number of them from a long distance. The Christian Church, to which he be longed, having at present no place of worship except a small hall, the officers of the Methodist Episcopal Church cour teously tendered their commodious edi fice for the occasion. The services were conducted by Rev. Daniel Trundle, Mr. Ruddell's pastor, assisted by Rev. Mr. Weaver, of the Methodist Church. In the evening a memorial service was held, at which Mayor M. M. Wakefield presided. This was purely informal and largely a service of song, the favorite hymns of Mr. Ruddell being used, interspersed by brief remarks from those among whom he had lived for many years altogether an Im pressive as well as a grateful expression from those who had come within the scope of bis gracious and masterful Influ ence. William Hendry Ruddell was born near Qulncy, Adams County, 111., on November 7, 1S39. A few years later he removed with his parents to Lancaster, Schuyler County, Mo., and early In 1S51 the family started to Oregon, arriving at Portland In October or that year. A few weeks later they went to Cowlitz River and re mained until the following Spring near the present town of Kelso. In April, 1832, the family removed to Thurston County, then In Oregon. In October, 1855, the Yak ima Indian War broke out and every per son over the age of 16, with an able body, was called Into the volunteer service. Mr. Ruddell first enlisted In Company I, which was organized and commanded by Cap tain Isaac Hays, an old Mexican War veteran, at the Chambers stockade, about eight miles southeast of Olympla. He per formed every duty required with discre tion and intelligence, and was a member of different scouting parties which per formed effective service In driving tho Indians to the rear and destroying their supplies. Early In 1S56, his term of three months' service having expired, he re enllsted in Captain Joseph White's pio neer company and was made a Corporal by the votes of his companions. The duties of this company were most ardu ous. It was in the forefront In every emergency. The command soon devolved upon the First Lieutenant Urban E. Hicks, a stepbrother of Mr. 'Ruddell's, through the resignation of Captain White. In all these trying scenes In marching and countermarching, wading mountain streams, in the forefront at all times with ax and rifle, making roads and trails for other companies to follow, always In danger from an elusive foe, not knowing from whence an attack would come, no company bore a more Important part In all these manifold experiences there Is but one short sentence that fitly describes Mr. Ruddell's service, and that is "faithful ness to every duty," and this In the face of perils which caused many an older person to shrink In alarm. At the close of the war, late In the Fall of 1S56, he resumed his place on the farm with his father, and was as faithful In that respect as In his military service. As a. farm worker he excelled in every thing he undertook, no one being able to do more. In November, 1S57, Rev. John RIgdon, a minister of the Chrlstion Church, came to Thurston County from Oregon at the earnest solicitation of Mr. Ruddell's fath er, who "had known him in Illinois and In Missouri years before, and began a pro tracted meeting in the Ruddell block house, continuing It for several days. As a result of this effort Mr. Ruddell, with some 20 others, gave his heart to Christ and thus- was organized the first Chris tian Church in what Is now the State of Washington, his father, Stephen D. Rud dell, and Tyrus HImes, father of Mrs. Ruddell, being the elders. On February 22, 1864, Mr. Ruddell was married to Miss Helen Z. HImes, and he lived In Thurston County until the Spring of 1S79, when he moved to Chehalls Coun ty, first making a home on the Brady farm. In 1S84 he removed to his present home at this place. He was a member of the Elma Town Council for many years, and also of the Oregon Pioneer Associa tion and the Oregon Historical Society. PIONEER OF LINN.

One fact has been demonstrated In con nection with the culture of sugar beets, and that is that it Is a business that will not yield the best results when attempted on a wholesale scale.

Fearliive'sWay is Modem way. ed to beetgrowing and Is In a fine state of cultivation. The proper care of tha crop requires immediate attention at ex actly the right time, and if the same Is not given there is certain to be,damago and loss, This is tho main reason why the big fields do not pay as well and do not yield as well In proportion as do tho smaller ones. There Is the difficulty of securing sufficient help at the right time, ootn in the culture or the crop and In harvesting. While there are exceptions to all general rules,, the ideal way for sugar beet culture to be conducted is in smaller tracts, whei-e each contractor has probably within his own family the work ing force sufficient to give the smaller patch the attention that Is needed and at the right time. By this plan also the cultivation of the beets Is something that does not essentially Interfere with or displace the other general work of the farm. In most localities where sugar fac tories are in operation there are several hundred different contractors, while in this locality during the first five years there have been but little more than 100 growers. In other localities a flve-acre tract is considered a blir allotment fbr beets; here there have been fields of 500 acres. The fact has become sufficiently established on general principles that small tracts In conjunction with other farm work may easily be made profitable, while beet culture on a big scale as an exclusive occupation is burdensome.
