TRACK READY IN APRIL Eastern Breeders Will Knter Fine Herds in Portland Livestock Show, for Which Plans Are Well tnder Way. BY WILL. G. MAC RAE. When the North Pacific Fair Associa tion meets ' in Portland on February 6, the Portland Country Club and Livestock Association wilt make application for membership and for racing dates. An application for membership In the Fair and Harness Racing Association of the Northwest has already been made, it being the intention of the Country Club officials to give Portland a week of light harness racing this Fall in connection with its livestock show, but no action on dates can be taken until the annual meeting la held. Work on the Country Club race track has been pushed with great rapidity and a large force of men has been at work for months past on the track which will be ready by the last of April. Last week a building committee was appointed which has been in consultation with E. 51. I-azarus, the club architect, and has passed upon the plans for the clubhouse, grandstand and stables. It is the Intention of the Country Club officials to have the track, stables and grandstand ready in time for the Spring meet of the Portland Hunt Club and to have everything complete for the Fall races and livestock show. It was original ly the intention of those behind the Country Club to secure dates for the holding of the livestock show from the National Livestock Association and M. D. Wisdom was sent for that purpose as a delegate to the convention that was held In Chicago. Mr. Wisdom attended the convention, but while there, the so-called 'rich man's panic" was at its height, and the stockmen were unable to say whether they could come to Portland this year. Big Breeders to Come. Mr. Wisdom's visit, however, was not without results, for he secured the promise of a number of important breed ers of fancy livestock to ship their herds to Portland this Fall. He was unable to secure dates under the auspices of the National Livestock Association for 190S, but the association did map out a West ern Pacific Fair circuit for 1909. This circuit will start at Hamlin. Minn., and will Include Helena, Spokane. Seattle, Portland. Boise. Salt Lake City, Denver, Kansas City and close in Illinois. This c ircuit will bring to the Pacific Coast the ' cream of the Eastern livestock, for breed ers who have been carrying off all of the prizes year In and year out are looking for a new show field and Mr. Wisdom found them more than anxious to come to the Coast with their herds. . Behind this plan are the big' packers of the country, who, because of the keen competition in meats for foreign markets and the embargo on American meats In Germany, are anxious to develop the breeding of a better class of steers and beef cattle. It was this same movement upon the part of breeders and packers that relegated Into the past the Texas longhorned steer, with the result that Texas today ships the finest beef cattle sold. In Texas the cattle are fed on cotton seed, which was formerly thrown away. In Oregon, with its vast irrigated tracts that produce the finest alfalfa and barley, thei same results can be obtained here. Packers, realizing the importance of the Oriental market, have taken a keen in terest in the Portland Country Club and Livestock Association, and together with the breeders will send cattle, swine and sheep herds to Portland in 1809, which will far surpass those shown during the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Put Vp Good Purses. Now that the Country Club has promises from a number of big breeders that they will ship to Portland in 190S. it has decided to offer in cash prizes more than $40,000. In addition to the ICastern herds that will be shown here, the show has been arranged so that the breeders from California, Idaho, Montana, Washington and Oregon can exhibit at the same time and also take part in the various state fairs held throughout the Northwest. The matter of having the California breeders ship here has already been taken up and it has been planned to have the Portland dates follow the closing of the California State Fair Sep tember 5. The livestock show will not be the only feature of the Fall meeting of the Country Club. The association will give a week's harness racing at the same time and will distribute more than $?0.000 in purses and stakes to the light-harness brigade. This small fortune, coupled with the big stakes that the Oregon State Fair Association will give, will bring to Ore gon all of the crack trotters and pacers that are Wintering in California and will keep them on the Coast Instead of Invad ing the East and racing on the grand cir cuit. There will be a $3000 trot and a $5000 pace. NAME COXFEREXCE DELEGATE Washington State College in Favor of Four-Year Rule. PULLMAN. Wash.. Jan. I?. (Special.) Harold Davis, president of the Washing ton State College Athletic Association, was today selected to represent the Wash ington i?tate College at the conference in Walla Walia next month. Two men were put up. as delegates, the other being H. K. GoUisworthy, president of the Stu dents' Assembly. An advisory coinmitiee consisting of the managers of the athletic teams was chosen to consult with the delegate, and under their instructions Davis will act. It is probable that a member of the faculty will accompany this delegate to Walla Walla. Washington State is in favor of adher ence to the four-year rule, and also in limiting memliershir of teams to stu dents who are of ,'ull collegiate rating and eliminating preparatory or special students entirely. GETTING VEUY STItOXG TEAM Agricultural College Basketball Players Koundin Into Form. OREGON AGRICl lTURAL COL LEGE, Corvillis. Or., Jan. 19. Special.) The impression on the campus is that the new basketbnll team is going to develon into a formidable rival of the O. A. C. champion tfnm of the last two year's. Its overwhelming defeat of Willamette by a score of 52 to 14. and its defeat of the State University team on the latter's I own court a week ago, encourages the be- lief that it is rounding Into a formidable aggregation. Two new forwards, Moore, formerly of the Portland Y. M. C. A., and Horton, a new man, are sources of unexpected strength, while Foster, center of last year's team, is playing better ball than ever. The same is true of Rooper, also of last year's team, and of Spires, of last season's second team, both of whom play at guard. The future games of the team will be watched with much interest by the students here. New Astoria Athletic Club. ASTORIA. Jan. 19. (Special.) x.ie As toria Athletic Club, with a membership of about 100, has been organized and of ficers elected as follows: Charles H. Aber crombie, president: A. V. Allen, Jr., vice president; Carl Franseen, secretary; J. G. West, treasurer. The club is making arrangements to open a gymnasium and it will also organize baseball and football teams for next- season. Sutton Takes Fourth Game. NEW YORK. Jan. 19. The fourth game of the series of 18.2 balk line billiards be tween George Sutton of Chicago and George F. Slosson of this city, was played here tonight, Sutton winning by a score of 400 to 253. URGE CAKE TD ENTER RAGE FRIENDS ADVISE HIM THAT THE TIME IS PROPITIOUS. Insist That He Must Not Await De velopments of Political Nature In the Hall Trial. Aside from the question of the guilt or innocence of the accused, the outcome of the pending trial of John H. Hall and Edwin Mays on a conspiracy charge in the Federal Court will have an important bearing on Oregon politics. This is rec ognized both by the friends and the op ponents ot Senator Fulton as well as by Francis J. Heney, who has threatened to make unpleasant disclosures against Ful ton. It is in expectation of sensational developments of a political nature that the Federal Courtroom during the Hall trial is thronged daily by partisans of both Senator Fulton and H. M. Cake, who is expected in a few days to announce his candidacy for the Republican nomina tion for Senator. Senator Fulton's friends are insisting that Mr. Heney will not be able un favorably to associate Fulton in any con nection with the trial now in progress. But In his opening address to the Jury Mr. Heney asserted that Senator Fulton was a party to the alleged understand ing that existed between Steiwer, former State Senator, and his associates with Hall and his deputy. Mays, by the terms of which Steiwer and others were not to be prosecuted for maintaining unlawful fences inclosing public lands. But whether or not Mr. Heney makes good his implied charges against Senator Fulton during the progress of the trial, he has threatened to fire a broadside against Senator Fulton in the form of an addresa to the public at the conclusion of the trial, in which he Intends to make some sensational 'charges against the Senator. Friends of Mr. Cake, however, are in sisting that he should not delay the an nouncement of his candidacy pending the promised exposure of Senator Fulton by Mr. Heney. Mr. Cake is being urged to enter actively Into the race at once, and it is understood he will soon issue his declaration, together with a statement of his principles embodied in a platform on which he will ask for the nomination. It is generally understood that if Senator Fulton is in any way associated with the alleged Hall conspiracy, Mr. Heney will not be able to Introduce the necessary testimony before the latter part of the week, and it is understood to be the intention of Mr. Cake to an nounce his candidacy before that stage is reached in the Hall trial. FOR DIRECT LEGISLATION Xorth Dakota Man Writes on Prin ciple of the Initiative. BEUFIErD. N. D.. Jan. 19. (To the Editor.) For some years I have been very much interested in the initiative and refer endum. ' Some time ago I subscribed for The Ore Ionian purposely to see if I could larn of thf actual working of the Initiative and rpferendum. but thus far I have seen few references to It and would Infer that the professional politician thinks it a great mistake. I read The Oreconian's editorial entitled "A Great Political Solvent." I take it that the editorial Is Intended to be Ironical. Yet, It outlines a situation that I would like to see in every state. I know no reason why National politics should govern in the selection of the Mayor of a city, for the Governor of a state, for the officers of a county, or the members of a Icislature. But I do believe that the city should have its own noli tics, the county its own, and the state Its own, each separate from the other and from that of the Nation. Partisanship seems to be a necessary part of the average man's make up. But, 1 cannot see why a man cannot be a Daxtlsan for what he thinks will be best for his city, without mixing the thing up with the silver or the tariff question. The Oregonian's thoughtful editorials have Interested me very much. I seldom fall to find food for thought even if The Oregonian sometimes says things that I do not agree with. Its theological views suit me exactly. X would like very much to see Its unbiased opinion of the inltiativa and referendum. The people of Des Moines, la., my old home have adopted the initiative and referendum and will elect their officers without reference to National politics. But I suppose there la just now a greater ex citement over the selection of their nw officers than they ever knew before or ever will again. 1 do not like the idea of a plurality de ciding who shall be United States Senator In jour state. There should be a second election between the two highest. I sup pose It Is not possible to adopt a plan by which the skilled politician cannot take considerable advantage of the situation. The Initiative and referendum Is pending In this state and I understand that the Prohibitionists are fighting it and the liquor interests are favoring it. It seems to me a short-sighted policy on the part of both. Jf the liquor business is ever downed in this country, it will be by direct legislation. HENRY HEALON. Can't Io Hard Labor. PORTLAND, Jan. 19. (To the Editor.) Men accustomed to heavy labor are assisted by the Associated Charities. I have worked 20 years in diftVrent offices, and I am unable to handle a shcvt-i or saw wood, though willing. I did try. and became bedridden in consequence. 1 called at the Associated Charities. They nev-r have calls for men to do any work fxeept heavy labor. I have walked the streets six ' weeks seeking wrk. am nearly penni less and have a mother back East depending on me for asststanr-e. I am not afraid of work of any kind that I am physically able to do. If I was strong enough to carry wood or shovel I fei I could get along until more congenial work appeared. As it Is, I am dievourar. and do not know what to do. and I take the liberty, hoping you will say some thing tn your paper that will benefit myself and the unemployed men. who are deserving, but who are physically unable to do the heavy labor that Is at present offered to all.

ADOPTED COMMITTEE WILL DEC.DF!favor "moving the embargo on the'pur UUmiVIII ILL- VVIL.L. UbUIUL chase and manning of foreign vessels by Westgate Says Organization Will Not Meet for Several Weeks, When Procedure for Naming Delegates Will Be Outlined. Republicans of this state have not yrt determined on a plan for selecting dele gates to the Republican National Conven tion, and for nominating candidates for Presidential electors. These matters will receive the consideration of the Repub lican State Central Committee, but in dis cussing; the subject yesterday, G. A. Westgate, State Surveyor-General-Elect and chairman of the committee, said there was no demand among the com mitteemen for a meeting for several weeks. It Is not probable that the Republicans will follow the example of the Democrats who have decided to hold a state conven tion for the purpose of selecting dele gates to their National Convention while primaries will be arranged for nominat ing Presidential electors. Chairman Westgate, of .the Republican organization, reports that the sentiment among the committeemen, so far as he has been ad vised, favors holding a state convention after the general primary election in April. The method of selecting delegates to the National Convention and naming Presidential electors remains to be de termined by the committeemen when they have assembled. Not in Hurry to Meet. "Members of the committee are not disposed to be in a hurry about meeting," said Mr. Westgate yesterday, "and it is not probable that the committee will meet for some time. It is the general feeling among the members of the com mittee that a state convention should be held, but that the date for the con vention should follow the primaries in April. This same sentiment appears to favor holding preciict primaries for the purpose of choosinj; delegates to county conventions, which will name delegates to the state convention. Some of the committeemen would simplify this method by having the precinct pri maries elect delegates direct to the state convention. This plan, it is contended, would reduce the expense of holding county conventions and would accom plish the same practical results. How ever, these matters are to be determined by the members of the State Central Committee when they are called to gether." The Methods Suggested. The question of Importance involved, say members of the committee, Is a de termination of the best means for obtain ing the .most thoroughly representative expression from among the Republican voters of the state at the state conven tion. The selection of delegates to the National Convention as well as naming Presidential electors Is largely a matter of form, they contend, but should be altogether representative of the voters of the party throughout the state. It is further believed by many of the com mitteemen that such selections would be representative if made at a convention composed of delegates from the different counties, whether these delegates were named at county conventions attended by delegates elected by precinct primaries or whetner the state convention was made up of delegates that were chosen In the precinct primaries directly. S. C. Spencer, of this city, is secre tary of the Republican State Central Committee and W. W. Banks, also of this city, is the Multnomah County mem ber of the committee. RIGHT MAN FOR CONGRESS Stuff of Which He Should Be Made, Described by Mr. Haynes. PORTLAND, Jan. 18. (To the Editor.) As the time is rapidly approaching far the selection of a candidate to reDresent this district in the next Congress, the field should be cautiously surveyed for the best man for that responsible position. The office is distinctly political, therefore, a Republican should be chosen. Not sim ply because the district is overwhelmingly of that faith, but for the better reason that the principles advocated by that party have heretofore yielded, and are destined to yield the greatest good to the greatest number of our peoole. I see that the newspapers mention the names of Congressman Ellis. ex-Governor Oeer and Georce S. Shepherd as candidates for the honor and that the respective friends of each urge the selection of their favorite because of his ions; residence in, the state or past services to the party. In my judement, what a man stands for now, is of more importance than the length of his residence or the extent of his past party services, and I herewith submit my views of what should be expected of the candidate: First He should be honest and capable. Second He ousht to favor the Immediate revision of the Dlncley tariff schedule correspond to the difference between the cost of foreign and domestic products. If that schedule needs reforming, and I be lieve it does, reform it, and the quicker the better for it is right on the principles of justice and fair dealing, party expert diency should not be permitted to inter fere. No party ever suffered by standing for the rlRhu and there can be no justi fication in a tariff schedule that fattens trusts at the expense of the people. Third He should vigorously advocate itn mediate and absolute free trade between the United States and our insular posses sions. Liberty and justice should follow the flag and there is neither liberty nor justice in shutting out the sugar from those Islands at the behest of the sugar trust or in th excluding of their tobacco to court the favor of the tobacco trust. Fourth He should favor the completion DELICIOUS MILK CHOCOLATE. POSITIVELY THE BEST & PUREST MADE. RACKED IN LARGE & SMALL CAKES USXf.l I IIS, UJN1ATVSE KOKCAN5 ft BUIS. STICKS ft?

Canal as soon as men, money J and skill can do It. The remote posslbll- ity of war with JaDan has awakened us to the transcendent importance of that stu pendous project. Fifth He should vote to staln our in sular possessions, as long:, at least, as those people are thereby benefited and favor al! measures looking to their elvation finan cially, mentally and morally. ' Sixth He hould insist on the exclusion of Chinese And Japanese coolies and all other objectionable foreigners who come here to sap all the substance possible from our people to send to their native lands, with no canaclty or inclination to make good American citizens. Seventh He should oppose ship subsidies Americans, to, the end that our merchant marine might be rehabilitated and made the pride of the Nation. Eighth He should favor a Wiw compell ing railroad companies to furnish ample facilities for the transportation of passen gers and freisht at rates that would earn a fair Interest on the actual, not watered, value of the roads and equipments. Ninth He should unceasingly advocate annual river and harbor appropriations un til every navigable stream in the land, particularly the Columbia. Willamette and bnake rivers, shall be open to free naviga tion to their fullest capacity, and for uie construction of canals wherever needed. Every shloper should have the means of transportation a near his door as prac ticable. Tenth He should vote to establish a central bank similar to the Bank of France, and likewise a United States Postal Bank system. If the common people could get United States postal certificates at the Postofflce, it would encourage the saving of their surplus earnings, and when hard times enveloped the country the people could draw out their money when needed, instead of having it locked up in wildcat banks and Wall atreet would be powerless to create a money panic through its devil ish gambling manipulations. Eleventh He should favor a Federal parcels post. If that system would con flict with ''express companies and country merchants. It is evident that the common people are not getting a square deal.' Twelfth He should advocate the ap pointment of a nonpartisan Government commission, whose duty it would be to fix, from time to time, a scale of wazes for the employes of the Government and those of all persons or corporations engaged in Government, interstate or quasi-public busi ness to the end that strikes and lockouts might cease. Thirteenth He should vote for a gradu ated inheritance tax. to the end that a few multi-millionaires could not own the country and enclave the people and trans mit that ownership to their posterity. In that connection,'' he might aid in placing the burden where It can most easily be borne by helping to establish an Income tax on targe Incomes, provided It can be framed to meet the objections of the United States Supreme Court as voiced in Its de cision on the other one. Fourteenth He should always stand for the election of United States Senators by the direct vote of the people. Fifteenth He should urge the immediate fortification of the Pacific Coast, and the retention of a large part of our Navy in Pacific waters. . Sixteenth He should insist upon the in crease of our Navy until it becomes auf ficiently powerful to protect us against any possible fnreien Invasion. Seven theenth He snould favor a pen sion of at least $12 er month for every widow of an old soldier whether she be a flrst or subsequent wife. I know of no person more deserving of a pension than the wife who lovingly ministers to the -vants of the old veteran in his declining years. Eighteenth He snoum vote to increase the salaries of lettercarrlers who are the hardest worked and poorest paid men in the Government employ, unless It be our soldiers and sailors, whose pay should also be Increased o the end that a higher class of men miirht be induced to enter those Important branches of the public service and the present disgraceful percentage of desertions be checked. Nineteenth He should push forward the present plan of Irrigating the arid lands of t he Pacific states, particularly those of Oregon, to the end that the wonderful na- tural resources of this wonderful state may be thoroughly developed. Twentieth He should be so devoted to may not BIG PIMOVALUES EILERS SPECIAL JANUARY CLEANUP OF SLIGHTLY USED PIANOS EM BRACES MANY WELL-KNOWN MAKES AT PRICES TREMEN DOUSLY REDUCED FROM ACTUAL WORTH SALE OPENS THIS MORNING.
