MANY NAMES SUGGESTED Mr. Cake, Himself, Urges That Xew Head Be Member of ComAiittee, as Well, In Accordance ' With Existing Custom. i There was political gossip yesterday to the effect that the name of MV. J. Furnish, formerly of Pendleton, but now a resident of this city, would be pre sented to "the Republican State Central Committee at its. meeting tomorrow, for election as state chairman to succeed " W, M. Cake, who will . liftsign. Among; otner prominent Republicans. how ever, whose names have been suggested in connection with the state chairman ship, are S. C. Beach, State Senator of this county; Ralph K. Williams, state committeeman from Polk County; B. C. Pier, president of the Union Re publican Club, of Jiis city; and C. S. Moore, ex-State Treasurer, of Klamath County. Members of the state committee had not begun to arrive in the city yester day in preparation for the committee meeting tomorrow, amflot that reason the choice of the committeemen, who will name Mr. Cake's successor, -could not be ascertained. Not later than this afternoon it is expected that a majority of the out-of-town members of the state committee will have arrived. Sentiment among Multnomah County Republicans favors the election of a strong and aggressive leader, possess ing initiative, who can assume active charge of the state chairmanship imme diately for the important ' campaign which is to be waged. Members of the Party assert that their only Interest in the situation lies In securing the best possible man for the place, and It ia emphasized that only such a candidate should be considered. Friends of Mr. Furnish were alert yesterday in their suggestion of the former Eastern Oregon man as the proper chairman of the state commit-, tee. He has an extensive acquaintance throughout the state and is enthusi astically in accord with the assembly plan and ail other plans for the unifica tion of the party and the election of its candidates. Although Mr. Williams has declared with emphasis that he would not ac cept the state chairmanship, many ReT publicans insist that he is the man for the place. Others are equally Insist ent that Mr. Beach take the helm. The latter, however, is barred from an act ive participation in politics at this time by the fact that he is serving as Cen sus Supervisor in the Second Congres sional District. The official duties of Air. Beach In that relation, it is under stood, will expire about June 1, and it has been suggested by his friends that the state committee select an aggres sive secretary for the time being, who will be capable of looking after the duties of state chairman until Mr. Beach concludes his work as Supervisor of the Census. The Multnomah County man, it is argued, could then get into the harness in earnest and direct the cam paign with the aggressiveness for which he is noted. Mr. Pier has been actively associated with the Union Republican Club, of this city, for several years and is known , as a Republican of the genuine qual ity. He is handicapped, possibly, by a limited acquaintance in the state. There are few Republicans in the state whose Republicanism is of more positive qual ity than Mr. Moore. While the ex-State Treasurer is living in Klamath County, it Is reported that he could be Induced to prolong his stay in Portland, where he is living temporarily, long enough to assume the chairmanship of the com mittee and satisfactorily discharge the responsibilities attached to that po sition. Discussing the election of his successor yesterday, Mr. Cake said that although ho had no choice, he wan of the opinion the new head of the committee should be chosen from among the membership of 1h" committee. He explained that he was not opposed to the election as chair man of a man who is" not now a mem ber of the state committee, but he re garded it advisable that whoever may t elected chairmen should first be made a member of the committee. Although there 1s no established rule controlling the-, election of chairman, it has been the cus tom to elect as its head one of the state committee. Mr. Cake said he thought the committee should not establish a pre cedent at this time. When asked yesterday if he would re sign as a member of the state commit tee as well as the office of state chairman, Mr. Cake said that he had not reached a decision. Anticipating the retirement of Mr. Cake from the committee. C. E. Lock wood yesterday urged Major J. P. Ken nedy, chairman of the Multnomah County Republican Central Committee, to call a special meeting of tllat committee. Mr. Kennedy refused to comply with Mr. Lockwood's request, taking the position that there was no necessity for a meet ing of the county committee until after the state committee had concluded its de liberations Saturday. Mr. Lockwood says, that he has the assurance of Mr. Cake that when the lat ter does resign from the state commit tee, he would use his influence to have Mr. Loekwood chosen as his successor. Mr. Ickwood wanted the oojmty com mittee called to meet tonight, when h would seek the committee's formal in dorsement as Mr. Cake's successor as state committeeman from this county.

Hard Surfaced Streets, Utilities and Improved Car Service Indicated. Higli Building Restrictions . to Be Made. One of the largest .deals made in plat ting property in Portland was completed yesterday, when the Columbia - Trust Company bought 130 acres west of Rose City park for $390,000 from Hartman & Thompson. Two and a half years ago Hartman & Thompson bought this tract, making in all 1200 acres, for $X0 an acre. The sale made yesterday shows a profit of $325,000 on n investment of $65,000. The Columbia Trust Company will plat this land into city lots, which will be placed on the market at once. The streets will conform to the contour of the ground and every lot will be sold with a high building restriction. The engineers already kre at work. A large force will be employed and by April 1 the tract will be ready for the market. The streets will all be hard surfaced, concrete sidewalks will be laid and sew ers, gas and city water will be placed at all the lots. All the electric wiring will be underground. R. S. Greenleaf. who has had charge of the laying out and platting of the Laurelhurst addi tion, will do the work on the new land. Und-3r the plans of the company which purchased the property the 80-foot Ala meda will be hard surfaced its if 11 length. This driveway divides the tract in the middle. Plans are' being prepared by F. N. Clark, president of the Colum-. bia Trust Company, for securing addi-" tional car service, by extending a branch line from the Rose City Park line, con necting at about East Fortieth street. E. L. Thompson, of Hartman & Thomp son, who sold the tract, congratulated himself yesterday on the large profit made through the sale to the Columbia Trust Company, but said that he be lieved the buyers would make an even larger profit. The price may seem high In comparison with $500 paid in the be ginning. However, the Iyaurelhurst tract, then the Ladd farm, was for sale two and a half years ago at $750 an acre and this sold at $4300 an acre almost a year ago. On this basis of comparison the price seems favorable. F. N. Clark, president of the Columbia Trust Company, said yesterday the land would be developed so as -to make it a distinctive high-class residence tract with suitable building restrictions, and with every improvement made with the delivery of the lot. The Columbia Trust Company also is putting on the market Eastmoreland, and also has handled Westmoreland, Wiberg Heights. Hancock Street and Brazee Street additions. In each -instance the work has been accom panied by high development and a series of quick sales. FLOUR MILLERS ON TRIAL Ban Will Be Put on Bleaching if Government Wins. NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 10. Involving the facts of color of flour, the case of the United States against . the Aetna Mills & Elevator Company, of Welling ton, Kan., was 'resumed in the United States District Court here today. The proceedings marked the actual opening of the trial,, which will determine, for the first time, the right of millers to employ processes for the bleaching of flour. Officials of the pure-food department claim a desirable character of white ness in flour has been attafned in many instances by an unwholesome chemical treatment. Many millers contend that certain bleaching processes are in no way deleterious to the health of the consumers. , If the Government should win the case, it is pointed out, white flour will become a thing of the past and give way to a product of yellow or golden color.

Bites and Claws Trapper's Head and Arms, Inflicting Awful Wounds, but Man Recovers. VANCOUVER, B. C, Feb. 10. (Special.) Never a battle of the many fights be tween man and beast in the Far North was more exciting and perilous than the struggle recently waged against a giant griizly by James M. Christie, a Yukon trapper, who is now on his way here. The encounter took place on the head waters of the Stewart River. Christie had tracked a bear several miles to pun ish him for ravaging one of his caches. He hai just fired a bullet at a wolf and stood adjusting the sight, when he heard a crackling behind him and turned to see a huge shape advancing on a run. He had barely time to draw a bead on the animal's heart and Are twice, when it was upon him. Christie tried to leap from his snow shoes and dodge to one side, but he was too late, and the beast swept him to the ground with a blow of his huge forepaw. The bear bit him on the head and then tore at his face with his claws. In his agony Christie thrust his right arm down the bear's throat, and as he was vainly attempting to force its. Jaws apart, the grizzly fell dead. The two bullets which the trapper fired into its body had appar ently just taken effect. The man's cheeks were severed from the ears to the mouth and his lower jaw fell against his breast. His jawbone was fractured and his- right arm broken. There were cuts galore about his chest and head, the scalp being almost torn off. He managed to crawl several miles to his cabin on tne Rogue River. Here, when his partner returned after an ab sence of several hours, a few rude ban dages were put on the wounds, and prep arations were made to take Christie to a trading post 50 miles away. After a four days' Journey, with the in jured man on a sled hauled by two Indians, the party reached Ferril's Post, where Mr. Ferril did his best at doctor ing the wounds. Strange to say, the hunter recovered, although his Jaw will not close, and the scars, through lack of proper medical- attention, stand out like great furrows on his skin. The broken right arm is also in a bad state and it is in order to have that and his jaw reset he is making this Southern trip. BOOM CASE UP AGAIN PROFIT ON LOGS AT STAKE IN CONTEMPT TRIAL. Appeal of W. H. Abel Involves Con troversy Between Mcomen and North Companies. OLYMPIA. Wash.. Feb. 10. (Special.) The much-litigated fight between the North Shore Boom Company and Nico men Boom Company, in which a monop oly of the. booming privileges of the North river is involved," came before the supreme court today. The North Shore and its successor, the Loggers' Boom Company, are backed by the Weyer haeusers, while Senator McGowan and his associates are In the Nicomen Com pany. For seven years the companies have been in the courts. The matter up today was on the re hearing of the contempt case as to At torney W. H. -Abel, who Is also a director of the company. The Nicomen Company had been awarded the decree by the su preme court which enjoined the North Company from operating in the river. While appeal was pending In the federal courts the North Company held posses sion and boomed 40,000 feet of logs on which the Nicomen represented it would have made a net profit of 40 cents a thousand. On the hearing for alleged contempt the lower court held that there had been no contempt in disobeying the in junction during litigation. The supreme court reversed this and held there had been no criminal contempt, but that the ignoring of the injunction had damaged the Nicomen Company. The court ordered Judgment against the company and its trustees. This decision has been filed here, but the formal decree, ordering Judgment entered, has not yet been sent to Pacific county. Abel secured a rehearing and contends the judgment is , wrong in that the de fense should have been given a jury trial before entry of judgment and also that he was in the case solely as at torney and should not be held personally liable. Decision was taken under advisement- South Bend Mill Sold. SOUTH BEND. Wash., Feb. 10. (Spe cial. The Eastern Shingla Company, composed of New York and Philadelphia capitalists, has purchased the A.
