Chains; that a jolcr hMr in tho Hod iwiii - S!rtip - Bpath - Bailey Legislative tW-k't. the rival IrMeman-Davis-Colwcll-Gi'l ramp Fay.s it will light tho Hodson ticket to a finish. T!ir fiv candidates for the State Feral anr" thu 13 for the Mora of Representatives on that ticket have amended statements one and two of the primary law an follows: "Will vote for people's choice for United States Senator, if a Republican." The joker is an aliased scheme to defeat the Repu li.an primary nomkioe for Senator, in the June eelctkin. making the "people's rhotr" a Democrat, which would teave the Hodon legislator free to choose tliHr own man for Senator, after the old nutnner of electing: the holder of that office. The rival camp says the Hodson ticket, while profrjne to stand on the platform of the Republican county convention, JucRlea with its principal plank, which is: JBe it resolved. That we, as Republicans, ru firmly or the belief that our representa tives in the Senate and the House of RP-rpsr-matlveii of the State of Oreeon. should not take a- pled: that would require them to support a IW'morrat, Socialist or Popu list for the United Htates Senate from this PtMe and that the members ot the Legis lative Aspmbly be instructed to vote for in Republican voters choice for United frtats Senator. Where Joker Is Suspected- The Mleman-Davis-Colwcll-GUl element Insists that the Hodson ticket. If atand intr on the convention platform, would hind its members to vote for the "Re publican voters' choice for United States cVnator," but that instead it pledges them ho to vote only In case the Republican priinery nominee should defeat the Dem ocratic nominee in the June election; otherwise that the ticket members would pick their own candidate for Senator. The Idleman camp openly declares that tiie Hodson ticket, bavins this purpose in view, has thus twisted the convention plunk. Members of the Hodson camp make answer that the charge Is wholly false; that the Idleman men are trying: to force Statement No. 1 on Republicans; that their own plan is to support the people's choice should he be Republican, and that they have avoided pledging themselves to vote in any event for a Democrat. Mr. Hodson has said in public meetings, when asked whom he would support in case the people's choice should be a Democrat, that he does not know but that he would vote for a "Rood Republican.". This, fays the Idleman camp, means that the Hodson ticket will restore the old meth od of electing Senators. llodsou Ticket Men. The so-called Hodson ticket comprises the following: Senate C. W. Hodson, J. C. Fayer, John B. Coffey, John Driscoll, Sis Sichel. House Robert S. Farrell. X. D. Beut fren. Joseph W. RoveridRe, Frank Bo'hun, I.. E. Crouch. George V. Holcomb, l,ouis Kuehn, Rasper K. Kubli, David B. Mac kie. George W. McMillan, Frank J. Rich ardson, I A. Hariow, A. A. Anderson, and for joint Representative from Clack amas and Multnomah, C. X. Mc Arthur. Between the two factions the liveliest kind of a scrap Is in prospec t. The Itlle-innn-Davis-ColwoIl-GIll camp will put rival candidates into the field, or pick from candidates already there to make up a ticket of Its own. or will use both methods together, to secure the required number of fast-running aspirants to com pete with the so-called Hodson ticket. Its candidates will pledge themselves to vote for t he Republican voters' choice for , P nIor, In the precise words of the con vention platform. Two of its candidates for the .State St-nate. already announced, are Dr. Bm met Drake and E. B. Colwell. Others may be Ben Selling. John Gill and-louis Clarke. The announcement of a rival to the 1 lodson t icket is yet premature; that is to say, members of the Idleman camp will not sanction the statement that they Will launch a ticket of their own. But a the only way to defeat the meiy hvvft of the disliked ticket U to boost others in opjnsitinn. it goes without say ing that the rival group w:ll have a ti. kct of Its own. Juggles Willi Platform. Both C. M. Idleman and V. M. Davis, leaders of the antl-Hodson camp, declared yesterday that the pledge in the so-called. Hod.on-Beach-Bailey-Sichel ticket is a trick and that It twists and Jugrgrlrs the convention plat form. Fach faction accuses the other of Hchemlnp to fuse with the Democrats fttr the primaries, in case the other should be defeated for nomination. The Mleman-DaviR group says the other is hostile to popular election of Senators, and the other replies that the Idleman P;ivts camp is working underhandedly for Statement Xo. 1. This factional strife cropped out just before the convention in the tight for delegates, and was carried into the convention, nearly two weeks ago. The Idleman group organized t he convention, but could not prevent the other faction from driving through a Re publican voters choice resolution In op position to Statement Xo. 1. The two factions are preparing for a fight over "election of the new members of the County Central Committee in the primaries next month. The "Idleman ele ment now controls the committee, Mr. Idleman being Its chairman. Mulkey YUitlng Seattle. Frederick W. Mulkey, who returned re cently from Washington, D.

(Special.) A verdict of not guilty was returned this afternoon by the jury in the case of the state against James MeHoIme. Charged with obtaining money, under false pre tenses. The jury was out more than six hours, showing that the defendant secured hi liberty after a long struggle. McHolmo was accused of representing himself to be an agent for The Orego nian and secured subscriptions ' to the amount of flO in this city. He pocketed the money and left town and failed to send in the names of the subscribers. The question which arose in the trial was whether or not McHolme had author ity to take subscriptions for The Orego nian from one who had the power to give him such authority. The question of what he did with the money was not material, and the defense set up by the defendant was that he had been given the necessary authority by P. C. Elbert, the agent for The Oregonian in this district. Mr. SIo cum. circulation manager of The Orego nian, was called to testify against the prisonef. In hkt instructions to the jury Judge Smith made it very plain that if the de fendant had authority to take subscrip tions for The Oregoinan. or if he truly be lieved that he bad such authority, they must find him not guilty. There was a long struggle on this point, but the jury finally decided that the deefndant had such authority and returned a verdict ac cordingly.

Carey, of Portland, coun sel for the Hill lines In this territory, was called upon and responded with the following: speech: It is junt about 100 years agt that the first white men, crossing the Rocky Mountains, came down this valley. You can perhaps imagine the awe these men felt when they, for the first time, looked upon these tower ing, rugged mountains. Lewis and Clark were obliged at this point in their Journey to make a portage .and carry their canoea around the cascades in .the river before they could float on down the broad bosom of tfae Co lumbia. -. After they bad passed this spot they were through the mountains and found an easy route down to the sea. Aftr the white man came it meant traffic that de manded a railway and yonder railroad on the other shore of the river was constructed. In time the demands of commerce demanded another such road, and it has been completed. Down thle road will come the great com merce to the Pacific Coast. We commemorate today a great and significant event in the history of the Pacific Northwest. Another great artery of commerce has been estab lished. Great cities will be built here and the population will be increased untit it will be aa dense as that along the Atlantic Coast. Golden Spike Driven Home. The grolden spike was then driven. Judge Carey struck the first blow, and handed the glided hammer over to Mayor Green, who, in turn, gave way to George H. Hlmes. Superintendent Foreet, of the new road; H.

Stapleton, of Vancouver, tapped the spike in turn, and N. D. Miller, chief engineer, was called upon to drive the spike home. As, he did so he was loudly cheered, and the new road was formally com pleted. N The track was completed on Washing ton's birthday, but the golden spike was driven at the point where the last rail was laid.

The train ran as smoothly as over an old and perfectly settled roadbed. The straight line and lack of grades makes the new road an, ideal one and thc?e features impressed themselves upon the first passengers to ride over the road. The scenery along the new line was amply appreciated yesterday by the hundreds of people who had never been along the Washington shore of the t'pper Columbia before. The train passed In the shadow of ,- Castle Rock, crossed hundreds of dashing mountain streams and plunged through a number of tun nels, the longest of which is that through Cape Horn, almost half a mile long.

A COAT of Natural Jap-a-lao ap plied over old or new linoleum or ol! cloth will double Its life, by preserving the K original coat of varnish, which would otherwise soon be washed or worn oft. 1 WEATHER-BEATEN front doors are revived and beautified when coat ed with Jap-a-lac, and "newness fol lows tho brush." It is best to use the color nearest that of the old finish. WINDOW AND DOOR screens should be coated with Jap-a-lac each Spring, using the brilliant Black on the wire, and the . Mahogany, Oak, Cherry or Walnut on the frames. It gives them new life and the wire cloth is protected from rust. PORCH FURNITURE should be protected and beautified each Spring with Jap-a-lac. It is best to use the color of the old finish; but if you wish to change the color, use Red or Green Jap-a-lac. WICKER FURNITURE coated with Mahogany, Ox-Blood Red, Malachite Green or Gloss White Jap-a-lac looks better than new. WATER PIPES,' furnace fronts, ra diators, hot-water tanks and iron fences are preserved and beautified with the use of Jap-a-lac. Use the Gold, Aluminum, Dead Black or Bril- ' llant Black. PJCTURE FRAMES, candelabra, gas fixtures, lamps, etc., given a coat of Gold, Aluminum or Dead Black Jap-a-lac are renewed almost beyond belief; the Dead Black produces that beautiful wrought-iron effect. OLD AUTOMOBILES, carriages, wagons, agricultural implements, etc., Jap-a-lac-ed with either Brilliant Black, Red, Green or "Empire Blu, look 100 per cent better and are given new life. The cost Is nominal, and the work can be done by an inexperi enced person. JAP-A-LAC is a household neces sity, and can be used in a hundred and one ways, from "cellar to garret," and is especially adapted for finishing old or new floors and woodwork. Ask your paint dealer.
