THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1909. IE TO SENATORIAL -JOB Piles-Wilson Contest Is Ex pected to Enliven Cam-t paign for Seattle. TACOMA, TOO, IS ANXIOUS Candidates Come Forward and Let Friends Know They Will Wear Toga If Voters Will Only G1t Their Consent. BT R Q CALL VERT. SEATTLE. WhIi.. Oct. 13. Staff Cor respondence.) Political affairs in Wash ington are shaping themselves for a many-sided contest over the office of United States Senator next year. 60 far no definite announcements have been made by prospective candidates, but several are said to have expressed to in timate friends a willingness to sacrifice themselves for their country's good. That all the aspirants for the offices will come from Western Washington Is practically conceded. Eastern Washing ton has the Junior Senator, and the cus tom Is to keep the honors evenly di vided. Primarily it will probably be a battle between Seattle and Tacoma. with internecine strife in both cities compli cating the situation in a large measure. In Seattle. John I Wilson. ex-United States Senator, is undoubtedly a candi date. He has said so to friends, but will not make a public announcement before Spring. United States Senator Plies" plans have not yet been announced, but with him the matter of Individual health will probably be the weightiest Influence for or against his seeking re-election, al though Piles undoubtedly knows that ho has a hard fight on his hands, with In f no sense a certainty of being the primary choice out of a big field of candidates. He may chose graceful retirement before the campaign opens in preference to run- ning the chances of being denied a return to the Senate. Humphries to Be Reckoned With. Judge Thomas Burke, recognized as one f Seattle's brainiest men and best public speakers. Is looked upon as the heir to the Piles strength If the latter does not seek releetlon. and Judge Burke is a "pos sibility even with Piles In the contest. John E. Humphries Is another certain 1 factor and his Importance in the reckonT ing is a matter of considerable specula tion and some uneasiness among those ' who look upon themselves as political leaders. This is the same John E. Hum phries, who ran for the Supreme Court last year on a '"Let the People Rule" platform. Judge Humphries is always a candidate for some Important office so sure as an election comes on. He is suc cessful in the practice of law, and this success biennially gives him sufficient capital to Indulge in his hobby of run ning for office. Old political warhorses say that he has a child-like 'simplicity In the political game and that he simply made a for tunate hit with a certain element in the last primary election when he came so near being one of those chosen by the Republicans as Supreme Court candi dates. Judge Humphries' method of cam paign is. and always has been, to scat ter large photographs of himself broad cast, mail out much literature and shake j hands with everybody. In the primary election his literature appealed to class prejudice by promising the workingman and the workingman's widow "Justice" In the courts in personal injury damage cases. The near-success of this character of campaign, it is expected, will lead Judge Humphries to try its Influence in the race for the United States Senate. Wilson Sends Out Feelers. To the list also may be added as a possibility C. F. .White, one of the wealthiest lumbermen of the state, who Is a resident of Seattle, while Sam Hill, of good-roads fame and son of the empire builder, is said to have a smouldering; ambition of the same character. John L. Wilson's campaign may be be said to be almost launched that is, some preliminary work is being done. There is an organization here known as the "Wilson Club" which is putting out feelers throughout the state. In addition, the executive committee of the king- County Republican Central Committee has had the Senatorshlp un der consideration and has Indorsed Wilson. This executive committee in- dorsement is termed by Wilson's sup porters an indorsement by the Centra Comimttee. What it really means is this: The Republican Central Committee is composed of 121 members. About 15 of these members compose the execu tive committee, making: a sort of close corporation in which- a majority vote expresses the opinion of the committee choice of Seattle candidates for the United States Senate. This committee Is now in a frame of mind when It takes satisfaction in "handing one" to senator Piles at every opportunity. The cause for this dates back to the appointment as postmaster of Seattle of George Russell after he had been elected County Treasurer and before he had qualified for the latter office. Plies Gets Into Hot Water. It will be remembered that last Fall President Roosevelt brought about the removal of George M. Stewart as Se attle postmaster. Senator Plies was asked to recommend a successor. The story is that he telegraphed the' Cen tral Committee that he had decided to appoint George Russell, and would like to have the committee indorse him. The committee obeyed Instructions, but It took: about five hours' stormy delib eration before the result was attained. Members of the committee, it is said, had staked out places in the County Treasurers office for friends of theirs, and Russell was counted on to put these men in. The failure of Russell to qualify as Treasurer left out the committeemen's favorites, -for Nat H. Ghormley, the hold-over Treasurer, re fused to recognize their claims. The Central Committee then induced the County Commissioners to appoint a Treasurer and P. J. Smith was selected for the place with the understanding that Smith would dispense the plums to the satisfaction of the Central Com mittee. Ghormley. however, refused to let go. and the courts upheld him in his position, So here are all the cam paign workers kept away from the pie counter and shouting for someone's blood. How the controlling spirits in the central committee are out for Piles" scalp has been shown in the more recent controversy over the appoint ment of a successor to C. B. Hopkins as United States Marshal for this dis trict. Senator Piles, it is said, had decided to recommend the appointment of James C. Drake, who was United States Marshal in Cleveland's last ad ministration but who went over to the Republican! side in the free silver craze. The central committee, however, has ' Indorsed John Wooding, to whom Sena MANY ASP1R tor Plies is under lasting: obligations for assistance in his Senatorial cam paign in the Legislative session of 1906. This has rather put Piles up against a tough proposition and the settlement of the matter is still in the air. The term of Marshal' Hopkins does not expire until the first of the year and the solution of the trouble has not yet been reached. In the. mean time Senator Jones, it is understood, has declared that he wants, a hand in the selection of the new United States Marshal in this district and is willing to give his colleague a voice in the Eastern Washington district in return. If the principals in the contest so far as Seattle is concerned, should finally be narrowed down to Piles and Wilson a contest worth watching will certainly ensue. Wilson's best chance, according to the present outlook, is In securing the support of Piles' ene mies not because of their love for Wilson but as the only resort. How Wilson, after , two defeats for re election in a straight contest before the Legislature, will fare in the direct primary, with a newspaper of his own to back him,, is a problem the Wilson Club is endeavoring to determine to some extent in advance. Were It not for the unfathomable whim of the primaries Wilson would not be a can didate. His favorite expression is. "The bosses have beaten me twice, but the voters haven't done so yet" Watch .Taconia's Candidates. Tacoma may settle on one candidate and the town may produce several. The men who went to Olympia to the re cent Congressional convention so cock- DEATH CLAIMS PROMIXEM CAXBY RESIDENT. V : I : George Ranch, Deceased. OREGON" CITY. Or.. Oct. 13. (Special.) George Rauch. one of the prominent pioneers of the state, died at the family home at Canby, Monday, after a week's illness. Mr. Rauch was born In Ger many. October 3, 1S28. and was the son of George and Eva Rauch. When he was about 6 years old his father died. Coming, to America with his mother, he settled in Illinois. April 4, 1S52. Mr. Rauch crossed the plains and arrived In California the following August. He remained there until 1864 and engaged in mining.- He enlisted for service in the Civil War. and In 186S started for Oregon. He first settled near Sllverton, Marlon County, where he remained for three years, then came to Clacka mas County and took up a home stead. In 1875 Mr. Rauch was married to Margaret J. Mahoney, of Carus. , Mr. Rauch leaves, besides a widow, the following children: George Rauch, of Portland: Charlie Rauch. of HUlsboro, and Effle Rauch Armstrong, of Can by. The eldest daughter. Mary, died several years ago. He also leaves three grandchildren Ivan Rauch. of Portland; Everette Armstrong, of Canby, and Mar jorle Rauch, of Portland. sure of the nomination of James M. Ashton are now proposing Xshton for the Senate. It is believed he will be Tacoma's candidate, but Judge W. H. Snell. who broke Into the Jones Ankeny fight late In the last primary campaign, wants to try again also. The argument the Ashton men are using to hold back Snell Is that he antagonized Eastern Washington by "entering the last Senatorial fight, where he polled more votes from Jones than he did from Ankeny. They are saying that Snell Is impossible for that reason. Tacoma also has two factions' as have most other communities. In seeking the Congressional nomination General Ashton played In so closely with S. A. Perkins that those who op pose "Perkins may be expected to urge on Snell. R. L. McMormlck or some other man who has the money and In clination necessary to make the race. The old Ankeny-Crocker lineup Is not expected to lie down resignedly to die. With Seattle badly split on the Senatorshlp, however, facoma has a fighting chance to win If the city can get together on some one man who is a campaigner, and does not remain peevish over losing the Congressman. The Southwest Is watching Tacoma do other things than grow, and If Mc Credle gets good support In Pierce County the Southwest will be likely to return the favor in the Senatorial fight. This, at least, is the talk of the leaders in the smaller counties. LIGHTS PUT OUT, IS THREAT Council and Electric ' Company Are at Loggerheads. FOREST GROVE. 'Or., Oct. 13. (Spe cial.) As the result of a deduction of 25 per cent by the City Council on the monthly bill due the Haines Power Com pany, the City of Forest Grove may be in darkness after Monday evening. For some' time a misunderstanding has been brewing between the City Council and Senator B. W. Haines, representing the company tha,t is furnishing lights in Forest Grove. The trouble came to a climax last night, when the City Council voted a deduction of 25 per cent on the company's light bill. The company gets $263 per month for lighting the city. The action of the Council was taken because of alleged poor service given, and more particularly because there is no night service. Mr. Haines holds that there 1b an abuse In the use of electricity and that in many homes electric flatirons are used and that there are more lights burning than are paid for, thus consuming more cur rent than the company feels like furnish ing. Moreover, he stated to the Council that the supposed contract existing be tween him and the company is not In force and that both sides have violat ed It. Councilman Bailey and Hinman have been asked to confer with Mr. Hainej in an attempt to reach an agreement. ODD GREW BRINGS VESSEL TO PORT Captain and One Seaman Sail Down Coast Without the , Usual Instruments. STRANDED BOAT IS SAVED Schooner Is Dug From Mud In Alas ka and After Picking Vp Starv ing Prospectors, Start Is Made for Puget Sound. PORT TOWNSEND. Oct. 13. The trad ing . schooner Dender Brothers, which stranded 20 miles from Berin Sea on the mud flats of the Kuskokwin River, Alas ka three vears aeo. arrived here today. The vessel was salved by missionaries and natives by digging a trench three miles long through which they were able to get her into water of suiuciem aepm. Remote from a settlement and without a regular crew. Captain John Knafllch brought his command to Puget Sound without navigating Instruments or proper stores and with the aid of a single sea man and a party of four stranded pros pectors who were picked up on the river. Relief furnished the prospectors who formed part of the schooner's crew on the voyage to Puget Sound constituted an important feature of the spectacular experience of the vessel in the North. In an open sailboat 22 feet long a party of three men had spent 45 days traversing the route between St. Michael and the Kuskokwin River, a passage of , 1000 miles. They -had been 10 days without other food than fish when the schooner was reached, and were nearly overcome with fatigue and thirst. Of the party, H. Buckley, of Spokane, Wash., and Fred Soderberg, of Seattle, had been 11 years prospecting for gold in the Interior of Alaska without having made a visit to civilization. A small pack of furs and a spoonful of nuggets, not exceeding $10 in value, were the only results of years of hardship and constant search for treasure.. GO-EDS TAKE ROSTRUM GIRL STUDENTS SECURE RIGHT TO ENTER PUBLIC DEBATES. Forensic Contests With Representa tives of University of Washing ton Will Be Asked For. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene, Oct. 13. (Special.) After having been denied the privilege for Beveral years, co-eds at the University of Oregon, who In every other respect have prac tically equal rights with the men students, will .request the faculty to allow them to debate with the women of other Northwest.olleges this year. The matter has been taken up by the Eutaxlan Society, the girls' local de bating club, of which Miss Marlon Stowe, of Salem, is president. The Eutaxlans have already won over the university committee on debate and oratory composed entirely of men .to their side. This committee not only voted unanimously in favor of the girls after hearing their case presented con vincingly by some of the Eutaxlans" best debaters, but has chivalrously offered to write at once to the Uni versities of Washington and Idaho to arrange for the formation of a co eds' triangular debating league. All the girls have to do now Is to get the consent of the faculty. As most of the faculty members this year are men, it Is fully expected that the desired permission will be granted. Some, of the best teachers in the uni versity belong to the Eutaxlan Society. Among those most enthusiastic over the plan, who will probably try for places If a debating team of girls is allowed to go to the University of Washington this Winter, as hoped, are Miss Stowe, Miss Birdie Wise, of As toria; Miss Frances Oberteuffer and Miss Faye Clarke, of Portland, and Miss Alma Peyton and Miss McGowan, of Eugene. BOOKS CLOSE OCTOBER 22 Clark County Clerk Issues Instruc tions to Voters. VANCOUVER. Wash.. Oct. 13. (Spe cial.) Many reports as to when the registration books at the City Hall will be closed have been circulated, and several of them are incorrect. To get the dates fixed firmly in the minds of the Vancouver voters the City Clerk has figured out the following correct statement: The new primary law requires that registration books be kept open until 10 days preceding any special election and 20 days preceding any general election. A special election to vote on the question of whether 6r not saloons will or will not be licensed in Vancouver will be held November 2. On the same date a special election will be held to send Judge W. W. McCredle to Con gress from the Second Congressional District. , Therefore the books of regis tration must be closed October 22, 10 days prior.' The primary election will be' held November 9, but any qualified voter may register up to and including No vember 8 for this. ' The general municipal election, to select a Mayor and four Councllmen, will be held Tuesday, December ,7, so the books will be closed 20 days pre ceding this date, or Tuesday, Ndvem ber 16. Over 1550 voters have registered, and the large majority of them have given their party preference as Republican. COLLEGE SPIRIT AROUSED Assembly Hour at O. A. C. Becomes Football Rally.

The Bad Breath From Stomach and Catarrh Many Persons Are Victims of This Disagreeable Complaint. . It is quite common to hear of persons being spoken of as thoroughly agree able companions, highly entertaining in conversation, fascinating and attractive in manner, gifted, well-read, accom plished and possessing all the attri butes and qualifications necessary to make them desirable guests at parties and entertainments, but for the single fact that, for some cause or other, such as stomach trouble, decay of teeth, or throat and nasal catarrh, they are the unfortunate possessors of bad breath. That one drawback is sufficient to make them almost universally shunned, and no matter how erudite or scholar ly they may be, how much they may have traveled, or how large a fund of interesting anecdote they may have ac cumulated, and which they may be ca pable of relating in an entertaining manner, the fact that they are victims of offensive breath causes every other consideration to be set aside by their "friends. This is indeed unfortunate, and It has been the means of causing many a per son to avoid society and social inter course, because, realizing , as they do, how disagreeable it must be to others. and wlshin at the same time to avoid embarrassment and criticism, they are left with the only alternative of re maining off to themselves, and being deprived of many of the- pleasures of life. Such a deprivation is, however, whol ly unnecessary, and persons who have long been troubled with foul breath from any cause, should know that there iji-a remertv for Its relief, one which is a powerful absorber and remover of foul gases from the stomacn, ana an efficient oxidizer and purifier of offen sive breath, whether from stomach or teeth, or caused by catarrh and that Justly celebrated remedy Is blUAKis CHARCOAL LOZENGES. Thousands of persons testify to the fact that though they -were once vic tims of bad breath, whloh compelled them to avoid the companionship of others, they are now able to mingle freely with their friends, to attend en tertainments, parties and the theater, and to enjoy life generally, happy in the thought that through the use of StuarfB. Antiseptic Charcoal Lozenges, their breath is rendered sweet and pure, and cannot give of fense to even the most fastidious persons. These wonderfully purifying lozen ges, which are composed of the purest charcoal, and made from willow wood, will sweeten the foulest breath, purify the most impure stomach and besides stopping the fermentation and decom position of food, will also remove the breath-odors resulting from the use of onions, tobacco, alcohol and German cheese.

HAY FAVORS LAW'S CHANGE Will Name Commission to Advise Revision of Game Statutes. SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 13. (Special.) Governor Hay has under consideration a recommendation from Pomona Grange, of Whatcom Count, that he appoint a com mission to revise the game laws of Wash ington. It Is tho contention of the Grange that file present state game laws not only leave the sportsman in a quandary as to his rights when he Is suddenly con fronted with bird or beast, but operate to discriminate against the men who are responsible for the propagation of big game in the state, and the men who bag most of It each season. When the Governor returns to Olympia, he said today he expected to appoint a commission such as suggested. "I have received a. good many letters on the subject of our game laws," said Governor Hay, "and there appears to be a movement to give the state a brand new set. Personally. I think the appoint ment of a commission to draw up a new set . of game laws would prove of value. We have been constantly changing our game laws until today we have lost all trace of the originals." MISSION IS INCORPORATED - i Scriptural Texts Quoted In Articles Filed In Clerk's Office, The Apostolic Faith Mission was in cornorated. and the articles filed with County Clerk Fields yesterday after noon by Jennie ti. Seymour, luannua A. Mitchell and Edward W. Doak. The object of the corporation, as stated in the articles, is "to conduct religious services, unsectarian and upon evan gelistic ideas." These ideas, it is stipulated, are founded upon the texts. Matt. xxviii:19-20, and Mark xvl:15-18, as in terpreted by the board - of elders of the Apostolic Faith Mission of Los Angeles, Cal. The latter text refers to speaking with "tongues," casting out devils, and drinking poison without harm. PEOPLE'S LAW ASSAILED Attorneys Attack Validity in Cases Now Before Court.

The validity of the local option law and other measures adopted by the initiative and referendum Is Involved in two cases being argued before the Supreme Court today. The cases .are entitled tlfe State vs. Langworthy and the State vs. Edmunds. The constitutionality of the local option law is assailed on the ground that the ballot on which the question was sub mitted to the people contained simply the captions, "For Local Option" and "Against Local Option," instead of the title, some 300 words in length, by which the bill was designated and by which it is now known in the general laws of Oregon.

These, are all entered for the sweepstakes prizes and an intense rivalry exists for first honors. In the horticultural department the display of apples is a leading fea ture, the products of some hitherto ob scure orchards being far beyond the average seen in the markets, and all of them equaling the displays of other sec tions, as shown at the Salem and other fairs. Except the poultry cages, the livestock exhibits are rather small yet. but the cattle and horses to be on exhibition for the remainder of the week will fill all the stalls and will make a remarkably good showing for this section, which hitherto has not been noted for Its thor oughbreds in any line.

TAX PAYMENT CONTESTED Southern Pacific Considers Clacka , mas Levy Is Unfair. OREGON CITY, Or.. Oct. 13. (Spe cial.) The, County Court this after noon took under advisement the condi tions relating to the unpaid taxes of the Oregon & California Railroad Com pany. The property of the company In Clackamas County was assessed at such a figure that the taxes amounted to about $30,000. The first half was paid last Spring, but the company de clined to pay the second half on the ground that some of the holdings had been assessed as timbered lands and the timber had been burned off. It is thought likely that a compro mise will be effected, providing the court finds that the contention of the company is correct. THRICE PUT BEFORE JURY Charles H.

NEW ROUTE IS SOUGHT RIVAL- CEWS WORKING ALONG FRASER RIVER. Railroads Anxious to Secu re Easy Grade From Kamloops Vancouver. to VANCOUVER. B. C. Oct. 13 Rival snrvey parties representing the Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk Pacific Rail ways are having a lively time getting a line from Kamloops to Vancouver along the south bank of the Fraser River. ThrouRh the Fraser Canyon, east of Yale, where the Canadian Pacific runs along" the west bank, there Is room for only one line on the eastern side and this room has been taken by the first survey of the Canadian Northern. For this reason the Grand Trunk is now looking for a line running directly south from Kamloops across country through Nlcnla and the Slmllkameen and finally striking the Fraser west of the Hops Mountains. Acting upon Instructions from Montreal, three survey parties are now in the field running trial lines for a proposed routs via Nicola and Slmllkameen. This route mleht possibly Indicate a plan of the Grand Trunk Pacific to Join forces with the Vancouver, Victoria & Eastern, a Hill road, and unite with it in building a joint line across the mountains and thence to Vancouver. Mr. Hill Is credited with favoring the driving of an eight-mile tunnel through the Hope Mountain range In order to se cure standard grades. The undertaking la a big one, but would result in a cut off of 25 miles from the route originally located. The Canadian Northern survey ors are now west as far as Agaseiz, which Is only 60 miles east of Vancouver. They are working on the south side of the Fraser and coming Into Vancouver will undoubtedly cross the river on the gov ernment bridge at New Westminster. Asotin Gets Convention. ASOTIN, Wash..
