THE M0R2msTG OBEGONIAN,. MONDAY, MAKCH 23, 1903. 3 MARION GETS BUSY Gatch and Davey Are Now Preparing Slates . TO OWN COUNTY CONVENTION It Is a Fight of Hermann AsraiBst tJte Field, "With Xo Second Choice Harris Will Not Rhb, SALEiT, Or.. March 22, (Special,) A little more interest is being aroused in Marion County in the Congressional cam paign, and yet it can be said that this is the Quietest political contest that has taken place here in many years. Iuring the eight days that yet remain before the primaries -will be held, both Gatch and Davey will be preparing' slates of dele gates, with a. view to controlling the county convention. Xo open outside in terference is expected, though there is little doubt that Hermann's friends will favor those men as delegates who would most likely be for Hermann as second choice in case the Marion County candi date should not develop sufficient strength to secure the nomination. The delegation that goes to the Congres sional convention from this county will not have a second choice, so far as Its instructions are concernedr but since this is a fight in which Hermann is against the field, it would be quite natural that the Marlon County delegation would be for some other man than Hermann as a possible second choice. "From expres sions that are heard on every hand by friends of both Gatch and Davey, it is evident that there is a general desire that if the nomination should go to some other than a Marion County man that other should be Harris of Lane County. The positive announcement that Harris is not In the race, and will not be, is, therefore, ?l8arnolntment to many. Gatch for the support of this county will probably take place in the organization of the county convention. To carry the fight into the selection of delegates would be to weaken the delegation. It is the custom in this county to apportion the delegates and let the representatives of cc nventlon. In this case, However, there will be but one Marlon County candidate to receive the support of the county con vention, and there Is a strong sentiment in favor of adopting the unit rule and permitting the victor to select his delega tion. In this way the Marlon County dek-gatlon could be made up entirely of good political workers, and would not con tain any lukewarm supporters of the county's candidate. If the Oregon delegation in Congress is taking any interest in the fight in Marion County, that interest is In behalf of Gatch. It has been remarked- that the fourth-class postmasters are pretty generally working for Gatch, and that the men who have been known heretofore as Mitchell or Ful ton men are also for Gatch. Borne of the Hermann leaders are working for Gatch. and this has given rise to the sug gestion that if Gatch should win his dele gation might be for Hermann as a second choice. The advantage which Gatch has in apparently having the sympathy of the Oregon men. in Congress J In a measure offset by some opposition which he meets for that same reason. The strong anti-Hermann people in this county will try not to let Gatch name a delegation that will be favorable to Her mann, even as a second choice. Davey's greatest advantage seems to be in his having the support of a large majority of the Gcor people. The contest has proceeded thus far without any manifestation of any other than the best of feeling on both sides, and it is expected that the county conven tion will be a very harmonious one after the fight for control of the organization is over. stack of correspondence on his desk. But although Mr. Kelly la loth to commit him self, it is certain that he will be a candi date. His friends in Linn County say that Kelly must make the run, and assert that he can secure the nomination. They point with pride to Mr. Kelly's record in the Oregon Legislature, and say that a more desirable man than Kelly, could not be .found in the entire district. It is pointed out further that Mr. Kelly is a young man, very energetic and in perfect harmony with the Administration. As he is a personal friend of every member of the present Oregon delegation at Wash ington, he could immediately fit Into the harness and pull with them In a manner to secure the most for Oregon. It may be safely said that Hon. P. R. Kelly is a candidate for the Congressional nomination In the First District. He has Linn County solidly behind him, and the delegation from here will go to Eugene for Kelly, first, last and .always. More than this, his friends say they have as surances of support from outside coun ties that will put Kelly in. the race to win. Percy R. Kelly is one of Albany's lead ing attorneys, and is a young, man of ex cellent, abilities. As a campaign speaker he has- been very successful, presenting his ideas in a clear, forceful manner. He has served In the upper house of the Oregon Legislature, where be was a recognized leader. Kelly was in the Oregon Senate with both Senator Fulton and Congress man "Williamson. May Select Democratic Delegates. SALEM, Or.. March 22. (Special.) Chairman W. H. Downing, of the Dem ocratic county Central committee, has called a meeting of his committee to be held in P. L. Frazler's office in this city on Saturday, March 28. The call for the meeting states that the purpose is to either set a date for primaries or to se lect delegates to attend the Congressional convention from this county. As the date for the committee meeting is late, it is quite probable that the committee will select the delegates Instead of leaving this work to a county convention. FARMERS' INSTITUTE. Enjoyable Two Days' Session I Held at La Grande. LA GRANDE, March 22. (Special.) The Farmers' Institute held in this city yester day and today, under the auspices of the Oregon Agricultural College, closed to night after a very successful session. The attendance of farmers and townspeople has been large, and the papers and dis cussions interesting and instructive. The co-operation of the citizens of La Grande caused the programme of the lectures to be interspersed with enjoyable musical and I illterary selections. The programme for to- I day was as follows: I Morning Session. ! "Plant Food In the Soil" Professor A. L. Knlsely. Piano duet Misses McKennon. "Forage Plants" Dr. James Withy combe. Song Mrs. C. O.

OREGON CITY. Or., March 22. (Spe cial.) Although State Senator George C. Brownell has denied on several occasions 4hat ho was a candidate for the Re publican nomination for Congress, and at his famous "vindication" meeting a couple of weeks ago stated that he did not want to go to Congress, those nearest him are satisfied that nothing would please him more than to be the nominee. t The district is considered safely Re publican, and Mr. Brownell is a great vote-getter in his own county, and sees no reason why the numerous other Rq publican counties in the First Congres sional District of Oregon should not give him some kind of a majority, even if it be a small one. He has Clackamas County in the palm of his hand, figura tively speaking, and every one of the 17 votes in the convention at Eugene next month, will be for Brownell or for any man named by Brownell. His control is nothing short of absolute and the Clackamas delegation will go just where he points his finger and not elsewhere. There will be no fight put up at the primaries for any other candidate. There is not even the suggestion of such a thing. Mr. Brownell will name the dele gates. He dominates the Republican machine here, and its organization has reached the highest degree of perfection In the years the Senator has been at the helm. There is no likelihood of Senator Brownell's name being mentioned In the Congressional convention until the Her mann strength has been tested. If it is found wanting, then is the time for the man from Clackamas to feel his way for the nomination. More or less talk has been indulged in here concerning the possible resignation of Brownell of the State Senatorshlp to accept the United States District Attor neyship. If he could secure the Federal appointment now. it is very probable that he could land it just as well two years hence, and the chances are that he will wait and see what is going to turn up. He is very reluctant to lose his seat in the State Legislature. It may mean a great deal to him to be a prominent figure In the session of 1905, as he was in 1S0S. Senator Mitchell's health is not the best and there is a possibility of the next Legislature being called upon to elect his successor. It is this possibility that Mr. Brownell faces, and it causes him to hesitate. KELLY BOOM STARTED. lie Will Be Lane County's Candidate for Congressman. ALBANY, Or., March 22. (Special.) Now that the dates for the Republican primaries and count- convention In Linn County have been named, the political cauldron is beginning to bubble, and the politicians are beginning to show a little more than the normal activity. They are casting about for available timber for Congressman from the First District, and the concensus of opinion around here seems to be that Linn County has a favor ite son who would make a fitting succes sor to the late Congressman Tongue. This candidate is found n the person of Hon. Percy R. Kelly, of Albany. When approached on the subject, Mr. Kelly was very laconic in his replies, merely stating that he had received nu merous letters from his friends, urging him to enter the race, and pointing- to a DERELICT SIGHTED. Crew on Abandoning Had Attempted to Fire Her Still Afloat. ABERDEEN. Wash., March 22. (Spe cial.) Captain Trollls. of the schooner Dauntless, which arrived today, says that his vessel came across the derelict which several vessels have reported at various ports. He saw the abandoned ship in lon gitude 4G:06 north and latitude 123:12 west, and boarded her. She proved to be the sealing ship George W. Prescott, of Van couver, B. C Her masts and bowsprit had been blown out by the storm, and her crew before leaving her had attempted to -destroy the hull by Are, but the flames had gone out. Captain Trollls and his crew tried to do the same thing but failed. There were no pelts on the vessel and nothing but a few stores were seen. Being unable to start a fire they abandoned the Prescott. DRY DAY AT VANCOUVER Saloons and GambllnK-HooKes All Closed Yesterday. VANCOUVER, Wash., March 22. (Spe cial.) The law requiring saloons to re main closed on Sunday was observed here today for the first time in a number of years. The closing did not result from any definite orders to that effect issued by the city or county authorities, so far as can be learne'd, but appears to be the outgrowth of the recent order of Prose cuting Attorney McMasters closing gambling-houses. No gambling games have been run here for tho past two weeks. Five criminal actions for gambling are pending in the Superior Court, to be heard at a jury session of the court the coming week, as the result of an order closing the games. Christian Endeavor Convention. ABERDEEN, Wash., March 22. (Spe cial.) The Christian Endeavor convention, which has been In session several days, was "closed tonight with a sermon by the Rev. C. E. Eberman, of Boston. The Rev. T. P. Revclle, of Seattle, preached this morning. These officers were elected as follows: President, D. W. Terry. Olympla; vice-president. R. E. Snyder, Aberdeen; secretary, Carrie Wilson, Aberdeen; treas urer, Belle Watson, Montesano; lookout committee, John Scroggs, Olympla; junior superintendent, Mrs. D. H. Mullen.

WHITMAN COLLEGE LIFE DEBATING AND AIB LETT CS SOW IN TEREST SONS OF MARCUS. Boys and Girl Arc "WorJcinp: Hard at Mnalc Flatter Over thc Rhodes Scholarships to Be Awarded. WHITMAN COLLEGE, Walla Walla. March 2L (Special.) Debating and ath letics are the main topics of Interest to students of Whitman College thls month. Last Wednesday Whitman Academy sent a team against Klickitat Academy, of Goldendale, Wash. This Is the first acad emy Whitman has debated with, and a great deal of Interest was taken in the contest. Walter Eells, Hoy Rudio and Eugene Hilbert represented Whitman Academy and the question discussed was: "Resolved. That United States Senators should be elected by the legally qualified voters of the different states." The principal debating Interest, how ever, centers in the intercollegiate con tests which will occur early in April. The debate with the Washington Agricultural College and School of Science takes place in Pullman about April 3. It was originally set for Friday of last week but was postponed on account of the smallpox scare at Pullman. Whitman rep resentatives are Edward D. Baldwin, Robert Lee Ringer and H. Elmer Brown. The question of railroad pooling is tho issuo and Whitman College will uphold the affirmative. About the same time Whitman sends another team consisting of Guy Gillowny. Victor Price and Bert Palmer against the University of Idaho. They will defend the policy of taxing personal property. Whit man won with the university last year and she Is very confident of giving a good account of herself In this contest. Athlete Sipn the Rales. Training began In good earnest this week, on Tuesday afternoon, when all candidates for the different teams signed the new training rules. These rules de clare that no athlete or aspirant lor a place on any athletic team shall drink, smoke or chew and that he shall be in bed promptly it 10:30 o'clock every night, and every man signing them agreed to abide by these conditions. Coach Allen is their author. Whitman's prospects on the track are brilliant. She has most all of her best men back again and a great deal of good new material. Among the old men are: Li sater, a 10-second man in the 100-yard dash, champion of .Washington last year; Guy Galloway, champion hammer-thrower of Washington and Idaho last year; his brother, "Abe," mile runner; Tom Dutcher, a coming discus-thrower: Hank Lyman, who won the half mile run against Idaho; Marion Kees, pole vaulter; David Graham, shot-putter, and Will Toner, high Jumper. The Merritt -boys from Portland, who were In the track team two yeirs ago. are back again, and will give a good account of themselves in the sprints and runs, as will Leonard, of Pocatello, Idaho, in ,the hurdles. The new quarter-mile track will be scraped and leveled off as soon as the ground dries up sufficiently. Captain Brown has had his men out on the diamond several times and the nu cleus of a first-rate team is already evi dent. Of last year's team there are left Captain Brown, catcher; Robert Ringer, right fielder; Tom Dutcher, who was one of the best amateurs on third in the in land empire last year; Perringer, center field, and Walter Brown, left field. Good new material is plentiful. Among the best are: Louis Sutherland, of the Walla Walla High School, and C. D. Bralnard, of Salt Lake City. Pitching talent Is a little short and Whitman feels the loss of her great ''southpaw," Marquis, but Captain Brown thinks that he can work up Dutcher and Graham to twirl in proper form, and he may himself go Into' the box again. In the Societies. Both the boys' and girls' glee clubs ore practicing hard under the direction of Professor Fischer, of the conservatory. The boys' club, which numbers ' 12, will not take a trip away from home this year, but the two clubs will give a big home concert in Walla Walla about the middle of April. This combined concert is a new feature but a splendid programme is being worked up and the concert prom ises to be a great success. At the monthly literary meeting of the Whitman College Greek Club this week two Walla Walla men read papers. The Rev. Austin Rice, of the Congregational Church, gave a most scholarly and Inter esting discourse of "Paul and the Sto ics," while Professor Ryan, principal of the Baker School, told of "Youthfulness as an Element in Greek Life." At the next literary meeting of the club in April several student members will read papers. Rhodes Scholarships. The announcement that Whitman would be entitled to name the Washing ton recipient of the Rhodes scholarship for next year from among its students caused considerable excitement for a timo among the students. The faculty has not decided how the award will be made yet, but there will not be a competitive examination. Several books on Oxford and its life, have been sent for and will be placed In the college library for the benefit of those interested in the scholar ships. Inquest at Ellensburpr. ELLENSBURG. Wash., March 22. (Spe cial.) At the Coroner's inquest held this morning on the two, men found dead in a box car last night it transpired that both were about 30 years old. Their names were Frank McClusky and Patrick Hunt. Both were members o'f the Cooks and Waiters' Union. Hunt had recently been at Baker City. The other man was from New York. The evidence showed that Hunt had worked in Portland. The verdict was that the men died from asphyxiation. They had crept into the car to sleep, and took a quantity of coal, with which they made a fire in an empty coal oil can. after shutting the doors tight. They evidently went to 'sleep at once, thus dying, as there were no signs of a struggle. Both men were without means and will be burled here as county charges. STERN CHASE ON RIVER Oregon crrr water bailiffs AFTER MEN ILLEGALLY FISHING. Caught One and Seized Several Nets Trap Gnn Gives Officers a Bad Scare on the Clackamas. OREGON CITY, Or., March 22. (Spe cial.) Water Bailiffs W. W. .Smith and O. F. Jones had an exciting experience last night In a chase for fishermen, who were violating the state law by fishing for salmon during the close season. They started out on a patrol at 8 o'clock last night and did not return until 8 o'clock this morning. Going down the Willamette they cap tured four set nets. Spying a boat" with three men In It, they gave chase and overhauled the boat. Two of the men ran the boat ashore and fled to the brush and the third was captured, but was re leased and allowed to take his boat and net. All three of the men are known and '.their cases will come before Deputy Dis trict Attorney upon his return from Southern Oregon tomorrow. Seven salmon were seized and sold to a local fish dealer this morning. Later at night the Bailiffs' sighted an other boat with two men in It and pulled away after it. For four miles up and down and across the river the Bailiffs pulled and at one time were within ten feet of their Intended prey, but the fish ermen were In a light boat and when the J Bailiffs would gain on them down stream. uie puraum noma pui auuui ana up me river they would go, giving Lie laugh to the officers. Finally one of the Bailiffs gave out and the men got away. There have been many violations of the fish law during the past few weeks and the Bailiffs are determined that illegal fishing must be stopped. Fishing has been earned on in the Clackamas River and some of the fishermen are known to the Bailiffs, who will exhaust every effort to catch the offenders. Violations of the law are becoming so flagrant that the Water Bailiffs are going to adopt measures that will Insure the prevention of fishing for salmon out of season. A short time ago they came upon a trap gun on the bank, of the Clackamas River. They tripped a string and the gun was fired point-blank at them from the brush. They examined the weapon, which proved to be in the nature of a small cannon. A large galvanized gas pipe had been fastened between two blocks of wood and filled with powder and the discharge frightened them out ot several years' growth. . "W. D. James Died at Salem. SALEM.

Patrol Kept Busy Stopping Leaks Refugees Taken From Flooded Districts Water Still Rising:. VICKSBURG, Miss., March 22. Officers of the steamer City of St. Joseph, who reached here today from Greenville, report critical state of affairs along the Issa quena County frontier. All along the line the water is almost level with the crown of the levees and at several points it Is washing over. New work is sloughing badly and at Fitters a great cave has ap peared in the old levee. Into this cavity 2000 sacks filled with sand have been dumped without perceptible effect. Inspector Dulaney, who Is In charge o the work there, has almost decided to cut the old levee at half a dozen places, as a sudden break would be disastrous to the new levee further back. This cut Is vig orously opposed by people living between the levees, and feeling Is said to be run ning high. At Duvals, and from Brunswick to Gholard, there Is Imminent danger at several points,' where large forces of la borers are working day and night. The City of St. Joseph brought in more than 100 refugees, men, women and children, from the Davis and Klger places and will go back as soon as discharged for others who are imperiled by back water. On the Louisiana side similar conditions exist and It Is said it will be impossible to hold the line much longer. The gauge here tonight registers 50 and rising and the under-the-hlll section of the city, em bracing the wholesale district, the railroad shops and compress, is well covered with water.

Miss., March 22. The river continues slowly to fall at this point, the gauge tonight registering 39.6 feet. The flood conditions are becoming brighter, and it is generally accepted that the worst is over. Reports from the levees both north and south of Memphis are that they are holding splendidly. The railroads west ot the river will be open for traffic by Wednesday next, it Is believed. More refugees arrived today from the South and are being taken care of by the authorities. The shipment o tents by the Government from Jefferson vllle, Ind., Is expected tomorrow and a refugee camp will be pitched with ample accommodations for all flood sufferers. Reports from Natchez state that, while the weather today has been most favor able for effective levee work. It was found necessary to send more men to tho Syca more levee, In Concordia Parish, La. It was expected that the grade would be reached yesterday, but when daylight broke this morning the work was so far behind that the New Orleans & North western Railroad sent 60 men to the front. There has not been enough .sunshine to dry the earth with which the men have to work. The fears of the people have been Increased by the continued rise in the river, and though the levee men and engineers contend that the Sycamore levee will hold, old-timers; who have experi enced high waters are skeptical, as. a heavy pressure is yet to come.

College Expects to Pat Oat a "Winning- Track Team. ALBANY. Or., March 22. (Special.) The outlook for track athletics at Albiny Col lege this Spring is bright, In fact, the brightest In the history of the Institution. For the first time since the Introduction Qf track, work in the athletics of Albany College, the team will have a trainer. W. L. Hayward, of Berkeley, CaL. who is n thorough athleteand efficient trainer, will hive charge of the Spring athletics. Mr. Hayward was with the Albany College track team for about a week near the "I have been troubled greatly wtih sleep lessness and nervouspess for twenty-five years. I have never taken Dr. Miles' Nerv ine steadily fos a long time but it never fails to help me when I do take ic In addition to this I can say that my general health is much better since my occasional use of Nervine, than it was several years ago. I have used Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills for neuralgia and nervous headaches and have always had prompt relief. The headaches usually occur at intervals in the morning and by taking a Pain Pill when I feel the head aches coming on I can prevent the attack entirely. My ImsDand is also subject to headaches aad finds the same relief from the Anti-Pain Pills that I do. We are perfectly willing that you should use our names be cause of the relief we have found in using Dr. Miles' Remedies." Mrs. W.H.Beakds UY, Moscow, Idaho. There is nothing that will so surely under mine the health as sleeplessness. A, slight affection of the nerves is sufficient to bring about this distressing condition and unless treatment is at once begun it grows worse rapidly, bringing about loss of appetite, in digestion, a gradual undermining of nerve force and vitality, until finally the victim suffers from nervous prostration. Dr. Miles' Nervine quiets the nerves so tljat sleep may come and fortifies the nervous system against the attacks of any or all nervous disorders. All, druggists sell and guarantee fint bot tle Dr. Miles' Remedies. Send for free book on Nervous and Heart Diseases. Address Dr. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind. close of last season, and at that time re marked that if ho could have charge of the same aggregation for an entire sea son, he believed he could put out a win nnlng track team. He will be given an op portunity to demonstrate that assertion this Spring, as almost to a man. the mem bers of last year's track, team will be candidates for honors again this season. Mr. Hayward will be on the field some time in the latter part of April, and bis arrival will mark the beginning of active work. With the excellent material which com posed last year's track team in school again this year and a considerable amount of additional new material which is in school for the first time this year, the Albany College track team will be a for midable competitor for athletic honors with any team in the state. Not only is it the same aggregation wnich made such a creditable record last season, but also most of the men have been in tho work for two seasons. And if the improvement that was manifested last year over the preceding season is made over last year3 work this season, several intercollegiate records will bo smashed. Already light work has been begun, and the athletes are observing training rules. By the time Trainer Hayward arrives on. the scene to begin work in earnest the members of the team will be in excellent physical condition, so that the trainer can get out of them their very best efforts. The team thi3 year will bo strong In every particular. Tarbet and Bergman will do the sprints; and both are fast men. In Coates the Albany people expect to develop one ot the best broad jumpers 'and middle-distance men in tho state. In the C A. L. O. meet last Spring Coates defeated Heater, the crack athlete, in the broad jump, covering 21 feet 4 inches Wire will do the high jump and pole vaulting stunts, while Morrison, the best all-around athlete in the college, will "put" the shot and throw the hammer and discus. In these events Morrison Is strong and any competitor will have to hurry to beat him.
