HIGH -SUIIHG WELL ABERDEEN' MAX'S FRIENDS PICK HIM TO WIX. Proposed Southwestern Washington Caucus Expected by Them to Xominate Him.' ABERDEEN, Wash., Sept. 23. (Special.) The friends of Edward C. Finch, the Chehalls County candidate for the Repub lican nomination for Congress in the Sec ond District, express themselves as being very well satisfied with his prospects. Edward C. Finch, Aberdeen Can didate for C'OBjfresaman from Vnind -Washington INftrlct. The papers even in those counties which have candidates "of their own acknowl edge that Finch is making a strong race. Finch has lived here for something over a quarter of a Qgntury. and during that time has displayed those qualities which make his friends think he is the best man in the district to till the place of the late F. W. Cushman. He has waged a campaign that is characteristic of him. He consented to run only after the citi zens of Aberdeen and the Chehalls Coun ty Republican Committee had met and requested him to do so. Then he went into the fight in earnest, and his whirl wind methods have kept his opponents guessing;. Mr. Finch is outspoken In favor of a. southwest combine. He thinks Pierce County has dictated the 'politics of the district long enough, and that the tjme has now arrived when the smaller coun ties should get together and place all their strength behind one man. He wants a caucus of the entire district outside Pierce County to decide upon the man to be placed before the convention, and as the othes candidates also favor such a move, there is every indication that the nomination will be made on the first bal lot, and that a southwest man will get it. That Finch will be that man his friends deem certain- . Edward Corwin Finch was born in Warren County. Ohio, in 1S62, and has that first requisite for greatness as a statesman, for he was born on a farm. The first 20 years of his life were spent in Ohio and Michigan.

Since quitting newspaper work, about 15 years agoMr. Finch has been actively engaged in a number of useful enter prises, including" the financing and build ing of the splendid street and lnterurban electric railway system in and connect ing the three Grays Harbor cities.

Minority Faction oMwo Holds Bal ance of Power and May Prevent Deal Going Through. ST. JOHN. Or., Sept. 23. (Special.) A fight is on in the St. John Council over the Northwest Warehouse 'Company's proposal to purchase the city dock for $75,000. The Mayor and Councllmen Hil ler. Brown. Cook, A. W. Davis and J. W. Davis favor the acceptance of the propo sition as a means of securing a new in dustry for the city, and also of relieving it of a burden of interest, insurance and depreciation amounting, in their opinion, to nearly $20 per day. Councilman Cook presents the following figures to substantiate this contention: Interest on $60,000 dock bonds. $3600 a year; insurance. $620 a year: depreciation. $2200 a year, and $250 taxes that would be received by the city if the dock were owned bv private parties. fhe faction in favor of selling says also I that to be able to lease me uoca iu ai.j None a switch-costing, according to esti mates rurnisnea Dy me kj. n. ......o-,.- 000. must be built by the city, and this means another bond issue and increased taxation, which the people can ill afford, while if sold the purchaser agrees to build the switch, expend $50,000 in machinery, and to create a large payroll, most of which will stay In St. John. . vCouncilmen S. L. Doble and C. L. John son are emphatically against the propo sition of selling, and call attention fo the fact that all up-to-date municipalities own or are acquiring waterfront of their own. and that Portland is now trying to ar range for a bond issue of $500,000 with which to purchase a dock site. They also object to the price offered as at least $20,000 too low. As matters now stand, these two. men can block the sale of the dock if they so desire. A portion of the dock is built on streets which will have to be vacated before any one will purchase it, and to vacate a street requires- a three-fourths vote of the Council, which has only seven members. This situation gives them the balance of power, and it seems to be useless to try to change their opinion ou the matter. The Council, however, has instructed the City Attorney to draw up a petition asking for the vacation of the necessary streets, and it will be generally circu lated for signatures, as required by the SOMETHING NEW THE Solo" Apollo TEN YEARS AHEAD OF THE TIMES - Accomplishes the Impossible for Other Player-Pianos Words fail to describe it must be heard to be appre ciated.

HEMBREE MAY BE FREED McXary Fears Supreme Court De cision WIH Cause Release. SALEM. Or., Sept. 23. (Special.) When asked today concerning the final disposition of the Hemhree murder case, District Attorney McXary stated he had just received a copy of the decision from the Clerk of the Supreme CourtT but had not had time to read it carefully. He said if the newspapers have correctly reported the opinion of the court, it may be that he will be compelled to dismiss the case. "The Supreme Court appears to be of the opinion that the evidence was not sufficient to justify a conviction, and unless new evidence can be had by, the time court meets in Polk County next December, another trial will be futile," said Mr. McXary. The District Attorney will make a thorough examination of the opinion of the court, and will come to some definite conclusion In the near future. Baker Mill Buys Grain. BAKER CITY, Or.. Sept. 23.
