T"E 3I0RXIXG OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, SATURDAY, 1, 190S. 11 STATEMENT NO. 1 IT SO POPULAR Candidates for the Legislature This Year in No Haste to Subscribe to It. FRIENDS CHANGE FRONT lEcpublicuiis Who l'avored the Pledge Two Tears Ago Now Will ing to Promise Only to Vote for the Party's Choice. Statement One cohorts behold their numbers very much reduced in Multno mah County since two years ago. At that time the political woods were full of aspirants for seats in the Legisla ture, shod in Statement One footwear, but now the ones so fitted for the run ning are scarce.' Out' of 14 members of the Legislature then . elected in this county, only six were Statement One men. Five of the six have now repudi ated it and three of them will run for the State Senate this Spring, ignoring the pledge. They will promise instead to vote in the Legislature for the choice of the Republican voters, should that candi date defeat the Democratic nominee in the general election. Democrats, of course, are all advocates of Statement One. The three men who .lave cast oft Statement One are Joln Driscoil, John B. Coffey and J. C. Bayer. These men survived the destruction of the Bourne Statement One ticket in this county two years ago, arid were elected to the lower house. Their rivals. seven of whom were elected to the lower house ran on the ilatform which Driscoil, Coffey and Bayer have now adopted. Several of them will run again the coming Spring, and the two elements, formerly hostile, have practically agreed to bury the hatchet. Cake Forces Statement Stronghold. The Statement One stronghold is that of the H. M. Cake forces, wlo are striv ing to make their man United States Senator, to succeed C. W. Fulton, by fol lowing the Bourne tactics. But for the Cake forces, the Statement One doctrine would be very much weaker in this coun ty. Several aspirants for the Legislature who were advocating the doctrine a week or two ago have ceased to do so. Sev eral men, boomed by the Statement One champions for places on the Republican ticket, have announced themselves op posed to the pledge. Among them are John Driscoil and Elmer. B. Colwell. Others who were believed to be adherents of the Statement One faith but have given its devotees little satisfaction are F. El Beach and John Gill. Republl- an-voters'-choice adherents say that Beach and Gill also will repudiate the Bourne-U'Ren doctrine. One of the stalwarts of the doctrine is Dr. Emmet Drake, who desires to run for the State Senate. Another is A. W. Or ton, who desires to run for the House. Still another is J. E. Magers, who would like a seat In the Senate, and one more is Ed Austin, of Sellvood, who wishes to run for the House. On the other side are many candidates who will promise to support the Repub lican voters' choice, should Republicans give him a majority n the general elec tion in June. They say that a Repub lican, nominated In the primaries by a minority of the party, may be rejected ty the majority of the party in the gen eral election and be beaten by the Demo cratic nominee; that this will not signify that Republicans want the Democrat elected by the Legislature; instead it will mean that Republicans do not want for United States Senator a member of their party nominated by a minority vote in the primaries; that when Repub licans In the general election reject a candidate for Senator, who was nomi nated by a minority of the party, this does not mean that Republicans want a Democrat for Senator and Republican members of the Legislature should not be obliged to vote for a Democrat. Opponent of Statement One. Among the opponents of Statement 1, besides John Driscoil, John B. Coffey and J. C. Bayer, are: C. W. Hodson and Slg Sichel, who will run for State Sen ate; S. B. Cobb, who has been boomed for the State Senate, and the following aspirants for seats in the lower house: Clifton N. McArthur. Robert S. Farrell, Harry Northup, J. W. Beverldge, Dave Mackie. R. W. 'Wilson. Louis Kuehn, A. K. Clark, I .mi Harlow, Fred T. Merrill, George V. Holcomb. Another candidate for the State Senate, who has not an nounced himself as to Statement 1. is O. V. Nottingham. Dan J. Malarkey is fxpocted in some quarters to run on a platform of Republican voters' choice. Statement 1 pledges the member of the Legislature who has subscribed to it to vote for United States Senator for the candidate who receives the highest num ber of votes in the general election, the contest then being between one Repub lican nominee and one Democratic. The Democratic nominee is expected to be Governor Chamberlain and the Repub lican either C. W. Fulton or H. M. Cake. If Republicans, who are between 30,000 and 40,000 majority in Oregon, should give the Republican primary nominee the majority vote in the general election. Re publican members of the Legislature who subscribed to the Republican-voters'-choice promise, would be pledged to sup port him. But should he be rejected by the Re publican majority and the Democratic nominee win the nomination. Republican members of the Legislature would not be pledged to support the Democrat. They would contend that Republicans, dissatis lied with the Republican primary nomi nee, chosen by a minority of the party, still want a Republican Senator. GROWERS' UNION MAY FAIL Hopmen Losing Interest In Pacific Coast Organization. TACOMA, Wash.. Jan. 31. (Special.) The .hopgrowers of this state will hold a meeting at Puyallup tomorrow to per iv?t their organization. Attorney Shinn, who had much to do with making the California Orangegrowers Association a hiccpsb. and Mr. Durst, also of Califor nia, will not be able to attend the meet ing. ' 1 James Pincus. of Isaac PIncus & Sons, tliis morning said that he was not going to attend the meeting and that only a few growers outside of the Puyallup Val ley will be there. The Pacific Coast Hopgrowers' Union is a "dead one," he says, because the Oregon growers are losu'g interest in the organization. Arrested for Stealing Kljr. CENTBALIA. Wash., Jan. 31. (Spe cial.) Two young men, giving their names a 11. S. 'hratley, a stenographer, and Roy Wilcox, both living near Portland, were arrested in Tacoma on a charge of stealing a double rig from a livery stable in this citj'. The team was hired to go to American Lake. The following .day news arrived in Centralia that the rig was of fered for sale in Bucoda. Instructions were sent to Tacoma with the result that the men were arrested. They also rented some firearms from a local store and they were sold at Bucoda. SAI.K5I HIGH SCHOOL OA FII1E Prompt Action of Boys With Buckets Saves Building. SALEM, Or., Jan. 31. But for ' the prompt action of some of the high school boys, who were engaged in a game of basketball, the new tSO.000 high school building of this city might have been de stroyed by fire last night. The boys dis covered the fire ip the celling of the third story, which started around the chimney, and- turned In an alarm to the telephone central. Through some mis take or misunderstanding central failed to turn the alarm into the fire depart ment, which did not respond to the call, and the boys formed a bucket brigade, and, assisted by the hand hose and pat ent fire extinguishers, succeeded in quenching the blaze before much serious damage was done. A large hole was burned through the roof, however. Bishop .Scadding's Appointments.

ON SCENT OF GRAFT Printing Committee Holds Up Award of Contract. AUDIT SYSTEM UNDER FIRE th audit system in the Government Printing- Office and took his testimony under oath. . Holds tTp All Awards. The testimony was taken in executive session,, and it was of such a character -as to Justify the subcommittee in holding up the award of" all items in whih the Suf folk Distributing- Company was a bidder. The subcommittee will investigate this matter thoroughly. A meeting; has been called for tomorrow and the president of the .Suffolk IMstributingr Company has been asked to appear. I will say further, that, in view "of the char pes tjiat have been made relative to the purchase of supplies in the Government Printing Office, the subcom mittee shall go into the matter thoroughly, deeming this fair not only to the Govern ment but to Mr. Stilling, the Public Printer. While Installing Accounting System in Government Printing Office, It Bids on Supplies Under An other Corporate Xame. WASHING-TON. Jan. 21. Representa tive Landis, chairman of the sub-committee of the Joint congressional committee on printing, which Is making an Investi gation of the conduct of the Government Printing Office, today made a statement j relative to a development 01 wnat mem bers of the committee believe to be an irregularity in that office. The state ment recites that under an act of Con gress the Public Printer entered into a contract with the Audit System of New York for the installation of accounts, the Audit System receiving $1650 a week for the work. Mr. Landis continues: ; Auditing His Own Accounts. My attention was called to the charge that the audit system in addition to this work of installing an accounting system in the Government Printing Office, was fur nishing sdpplles to the Government Print ing OlTice in competition with other bidders and also was furnishing supplies where there was no competition. I took the matter uz with the Public Printer and he admitted this to be true, but stated that the matter had not im pressed him 'as being in any way improper. I informed him that I considered it mani festly improper and it was tacitly agreed that the audit system should be limited to the duties under Its contract and would re frain from furnishing supplies to the Gov ernment Printing Office, either with or without competition. Same Men. BiA on Paper. Under the statute the joint committee on printing every year receives bids and awards contracts for paper to be used at the Government printing Office. These bids were opened on January 23, and yesterday the Joint committee met to award the con tract. A short time before the committee met it was informed that the Suffolk Dis tributing Company, which had put in Its bid several times aggregating about $130, 000, was officered by the same men who composed the Audit system. I thought it manifestly improper that any man or com pany having an officer la the Government printing establishment or being Interested In an office at that place, should be a bidder on any of these paper contracts, or at least have their bids considered without some preliminary investigation. I accordingly called a meeting of the subcommittee of the printing investigation committee and sum moned Willet Raynor, who has charge of HINTS TO HOUSEWIVES AS TO CARE AND SELECTION OF LINEN Suggestions That Will Prove Valuable to Inexperienced Purchasers Who Are Making Usual Winter Additions to Their Supply. BT LILIAN TINGLE. TRADITION and convenience combine to make the first month of the year a time when the .careful housewife, taking stock of her supply, of household linen, prepares for such repairs and trans formations as may be needed among the older pieces and replenishes or adds to her store of new things. Even though in these days of flats and limited living space, few women can boast the wonder ful linen-cupboards and weU filled dower chests that contained the supply of a life time and an Inheritance for coming generations, the woman of culture and re finement lias still a desire for-cholce dam ask for her table and for a generous sup ply of snowy bed linens and towels. The woman of experience will tell you that it is a good plan to set aside a cer tain sum to be used every year for the purchase of house or table linen. If you begin housekeeping with a fairly good supply it ie still wise to form this kind of sinking fund. Besides providing for or dinary wear and tear, some of the money thus put aside can be used for the grad ual accumulation of beautiful pieces that will be a continual source of pride and pleasure to their owner, provided that she knows how to choose them wisely and care for them properly when they are her own. The choosing Is an important matter. Knowledge of quality in linen is a matter not easily acquired except by long prac tice, and many are the wails I have heard from luckless individuals who thought they were getting bargains and found themselves mistaken. ' You can't get a bargain unless you really know what you are- buying; and a little study In regard to the nature of flax and the conditions of Its manufacture is .likely to be helpful and to increase the interest of your pos sessions. . No textile has a more fascinat ing thistory nor one richer in its asso ciations. Bine linen has been known and valued, ever since the far off times of Egyptian civilization, for its purity, beauty and ab sorbent qualities which have recom mended It alike to sacrificing priest, me dieval housewife and modern surgeon. But though flax is widely distributed, not all soils nor all climates produce the kind needed for the finer grades of linen. That grown in Minnesota ana Dakota, for Instance is not suited for this purpose and is grown chiefly for the seed, for twine, and for the coarser fabrics. Very little linen is manufactured here in America and all the finer grades are Im ported. Here In the Willamette Valley are con ditions of soil and climate suited to the raising of just suclj flax as makes the Irish and Moravian linens so famous, but the necessary capital and skilled labor are lacking, and we must look to Europe for our supply for mapy years to come. In Europe the Baltic provinces furnish large quantities of flax, which is sent In the raw state to the various manufactur ing centers notably to Ireland. That Is why the price of table linen was directly affected by the Russian war. . The process of manufacture Is a tedious one which modern inventions have done little to shorten. After pulling, (the flax has to be soaked, to rot the Inner pith and set free the firm outside fiber. This takes about three- weeks. Then it has to be put through braking and heck ling machines. The longer fibers are known as the "line," the snorter is called "tow." -When a cheaper grade of linen is demanded, all that can be done to re duce the price is to introduce a larger proportion of "tow" or mercerized cotton. You may have a "pure linen" which, since it is made with a large quantity of tow, has Inferior wearing qualities and grows rougher in use. . After the spinning and weaving comes the important matter of bleaching. Here again is a process that cannot be hurried if the best results are to bo obtained. "Grass bleaching'" Is a six months' process. "Half bleaching" is done partly on the grass and partly with chemicals and though quicker and cheaper gives a less beautiful and durable linen. Ireland I the finest country in the world for bleaching. Most of the Carman linens, though beautiful have a less pure whiteness, known as "silver" finish. TVie Scotch linens-are strong and durable, but less fine 1n weave and pat tern than the Irish kind. As for pattern, there are certain stand ard patterns always in vogue and liked by the conservative housewife. Such are the "snowdrop," "checker," "shamrock," and various sprig patterns. The ten dency Just now, however, la toward large floral designs, and what are known as "open borders, in contrast to the older stiff designs. Some of these are very beautiful and graceful; on the other hand a few designs are seen which have only novelty to recommend them. Among tlie former, class are certain rose patterns which seem particularly suitable for Portland. The new table linen specially made and Imported for the Portland Com mercial Club bears a beautiful rose de sign and the monogram of the club. "Pattern cloths'' with a border all the way round are of course more expenslvs tha.i damtsk of similar quality that comes by the yard. Many of the new pattern cloths are woven in circular de Eiga with plain centers. These cloths are Intended, primarily for round tables and can be cut off in circular shape if de sired: but most women prefer to leave the corners uncut. Las: yaar at least 10 brides asked m about the hemming of table linen Shculd It be wide or narrow, plain or hem stitched? Plain linen pieces or thoe witrf-mbrcidery cr drawn work shoult b? hemstitched; but damask cloths and nap kins are best "French hemmed," with the small firm overhand stitch. The depth of the hem should be regulated by that of the woven selvedge. ' Some very beau tiful large table cloths are being shown Just now In plain linen with the "all over" pattern in hand-embroidery instead of damask. The embroidery should be in linei t'.iread not silk. The expression "double damask" puzzles the Inexperi enced buyer. It means that the long warp ends are twice as numerous and the fabric correspondingly firmer and strong er than the single damask. Look at the cut ends and compare the different kinds. Most women like to save laundry work by the use of small teacloths and doilies, and these are made In Increasing num ber and beauty. The tendency of style Just now is towards pieces with solid white embroidery rather than lace or drawn work; but the latter is less expen sive and all three are popular. Some particularly beautiful linen towels and towelings are to be seen; many of them fine enough to serve as bureau scarfs, or even simple lunch cloths. A set of towels with f'border designs and space for a monogram, a set of which would make a far more welcome and elegant wedding present than the proverbial "19th berry spoon." The patterned "Jiuck" towelings are yery attractive, showing pansy, thistle, rose, shamrock and fleur-de-lis designs. Many women choose patterns suggested by the color scheme of different bed rooms. This enables one to see at a glance where each belongs without con sulting the regular mark the rose to the plnkroom, shamrock to the green and so forth. Then there are hand-woven linens, more to be desired than much fine sil ver, and usually bearing, like silver, a' kind of "hall mark" woven In the fabric. These are luxuries, but women who must study economy can find admirable pieces of "middle class" linen from Ireland and Scotland, that will give splendid wear and satisfaction. One of the most delightful shopping ex periences I ever had was connected with the purchase of some linen at a tiny shop In Scotland. A hand-loom stood In the adjoining room. Over the door was carved the date 1007; and the old white haired weaver who served me might have belonged to the same period. - Ho enter tained me with some reminiscences of Andrew Carnegie, whom he had known (and possibly" spankodj as a small boy. He supposed that I should be sure to meet "Andra" since I was going to Amer ica, though he'd heard tell that there were lots of people lived there now and folks weren't as friendly and sociable as they used to be. Just a word about the washing of good linen. Don't send it to a laundry where it will be treated just like cotton. It needs different treatment. The most im portant part is the Ironing. The linen should be quite damp and ironed on tue wrong side until perfectly dry. This brings out the gloss and the pattern as nothing else will. You can tell the wrong side by the slightly coarser appearance of the weave. ROUTES BY RAIIj AND WATER Complete Map Issued by Bureau of Statistics. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. The Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Commerce and Labor has prepared a map entitled "Principal Transportation Routes of the World," designed to show at a glance the principal land and water transportation routes of the world In conjunction. The map shows the distance from New York, New Orleans, San Francisco and Port Townsend to the principal ports of the world and from the chief cities of the United States to those four initial ports, thus making It feasible to determine the distance from any leading city of the United States to any leading city of the world. This table of distances by the various routes Includes those via Panama and Tehauntepec and across the United States, as well as via the Suez and around Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope. A small document entitled "Transporta tion Routes and Systems of the World," accompanying the map, gives statistical information regarding railroads of the world and their cost, the length of the railroads In the United States and rates of transportation during a long term of years, the world's merchant marine, and other data. TAFT ADVISES MANY THIXGS Appears Before House Committee With Recommendations. - WASHINGTON, Jan. - 31. Secretary of War Taft returned today from Ohio and later . appeared before the House committee on military affairs, where he urged a variety of legislation, in cluding theestablishment of an Army1 station at Benguet, P. I., for recruit ing purposes; a general increase in pay for the Army, percentages to be determined by the President, the estab lishment of a rifle and artillery range for the Department of the East, the site to be selected near Washington by the Department; the continuance of the Porto Rlcan regiment; changes In the organization of Army scouts for the good of the service and the re ception at the West Point Academy of seven Philippine cadets. Manila to Be Naval Base. WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. Manilla and not Sublg Bay will be the ultimate naval base of America in the" Far East, according to a decision reached by the joint board today. This decision must be ratified by the President to become effective. It has been demonstrated to the satisfaction of the board that with all of Its advantages in the way of a fine anchorage and spacious harbor, Subig Bay is strategically Impossible of defense from a land attack. So while both Sublg Bay and Manila will con tinue for the present to be fortified bases, Manila in the end will be the principal American naval station In the Orient, if the plans of the board are approved. Senate Revising Criminal Law. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. After the reading of the President's message, the Senate devoted today to further consid eration of the bill revising the criminal laws of the United States. ' The first reading was concluded. Including all paragraphs to which no objection has developed. When the measure Is next taken up, sections involving amendments to the law and others to which objec tions have been made will be considered. House Passes Pension Bills. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. The House today passed 288 ponslon bills and then took up the Indian appropriation bill. DAXGEROUS DASH DOWN AN ICY . HILL WITH STEEP GRADE. Dozen Persons Narrowly Miss Col lision With Uncontrollable Load' of Lumber. COLVILLE, Wash.. Jan. 31. (Special.) Speeding with the swiftless of the wind over an icy glare on a 15 per cent gradf down Munson Hill, two miles east of Colville, yesterday, a eleigh loaded with 3000 feet of green lumber went down the half-mile slope, tearing and crushing everything before It, and narrowly missed killing a dozen people. Six teams were groping their way careful. y and by easy stages down the hill when Thomas Dixon arrived on the summit and cautiously be gan the descent. Below were two teams with lumber, two with wood and two with neighbors' families going to town, the last being Wesley Keough, his wife and two children, and., his sister, Mrs. Paul Starr, and two children. The tongue of Dixon's sleigh ' broke in such a way as to detach the team, and he swung them out of the way of his sleigh and jumped for safety. He im mediately yelled a warning to those be low and wild-scramble for safety took place. Keough saw that he could not escape by his team, and in desperation grabbed his' two children, one at a time, and threw them bodily through the air, a dis tance of 30 feet down the hill, where they fell without hurt in the deep snow; his wife he dragged out of range pf danger. He then grabbed the lines and put lash to his sister's team, but the flying sledge struck -the sleigh astern, smashing It into a thousand pieces, the occupant being thrown against the upper grade, covered with snow, escaping without injury. Keough, though, was knocked down by the flying wagon box from which. Mrs. Starr and the children had been thrown by the shock with slight injury. One man turned his team loose and it ran with its freight of lumber half a mile to safety. Another went over the grade and upset its cargo. The two wood teams were fortunately out of range. At the conclusion of the accident, which threatened the lives of nearly a dozen people, it was found not a soul had been injured, and only one hprse had been cut by a piece of broken timber, but the loss of property in lumber, sleighs and harness smashed up will ag gregate several hundred dollars. There have been several accidents on the hill this season, and it is considered advisable to change the road from the present grade. One or more horses are accidentally killed on this hill every Winter. CHILL WINDS BLOW Coldest Day of Winter, With Temperature of 28 Plus. GALE FROM THE EAST Jack Frost Sets Teeth to Chattering and Makes Work for Plumbers. Chimney Fires Keep the Fire Department Busy. Storm warnings predicting high Easterly winds at all Coast ports in Oregon were ordered displayed yes terday, and in Eastern Washington and Oregon cold wave flags were displayed. Last night was the coldest of the year in Portland, the mercury falling to 23 degrees above zero. The forecast for today and tomorrow for Portland is "Easterly winds and fair, with rising temperature." , A high easterly wind swept over Portland yesterday, and while the thermometer registered but 28 djegrees above the cipher, those who were com pelled to be on the streets were of the opinion that that many degrees below zero would have been nearer the cor rect registration. The German ship Nordsee, which was anchored in the stream, dragged her anchors and nar rowly escaped collision with the Ger man bark Reinbek at the Columbia dock during the windstorm. Plumbers are now reaping their an nual harvest. Many exposed water pipes have been frozen and the man in overalls and armed with a monkey wrench, is much sought after. Far be it from a question of wages by the hour when the water pipes are frozen. Chimney fires have been frequent during the past two days. They are undoubtedly caused by the fires being forced to warm stores and residences during the cold snap Salt has gone up of late and it is now the order of he day for householders to call out the fire department, rather than resort to the time.honored method ot filling the stove with salt to .extinguish a chimney blaze. A low pressure area of decided char acter is central at sea off the North California Coast. Over the entire Pacific Northwest the barometer is high and cold weather prevails in all the North Pacific states. At Spokane, Walla Walla'and Baker City zero has been reached. The forecast for that section is continued cold and high Easterly winds. In Southern 'Oregon there will be rain or snow. While the cold weather lasts, birds will have a hard time to find a living. A friend of the birds who always proviues for them during frigid snaps, last night requested The Oregonian to remind tender-hearted persons to place bread crumbs and saucers of water where the birds can find them. She said she had already seen birds trying to scratch In the frozen ground for food, and declared water is Just as important for them when street puddles are frozen over. Favorable to Arbitration. WASHINGTON. Jan. 3L A favorable report on the Townsend arbitration bill was authorized today by the House Com mittee on Interstate and Foreign Com merce. The bill provides for the appoint ment by the President of a commission to Investigate each dispute between cap ital or labor of such magnitude as to interfere "with interstate traffic, general commerce, Federal business, etc. X s- , at iiiilllllil M:5 "S4 f 4. i.

Carreno Is always a person of exceptional interest; and of this ex tremely fascinating woman and artist it has been often said that she is one "of those richly endowed and satisfying women whom to know is culture, and to know intimately is a liberal education. Neither her personal beauty nor the beauty of her art has faded. On the contrarv, her charms have mellowed like the tone of a glorious violin that comes to its fullness as the years pass. Many artists scarcely more than achieve fame at Carreno's present period, but she, who as a "Wunderkina" was so brilliant, has reached that splendor of attainment and perfect maturity so rarely gained; attended by beauty, vivacity and delightful charm of manner Her history, an interesting one especially upon the artistic side, and her present place in the world of music, are no less due to her indomit able will and powerful determination than ,to that genius which, is given 10 Carreno'has a unique position in art.
