Smith and J. "W. Bai ley, Also From Portland, Are In . Fight Contest for Represent ative May Be Spirited. IMrtrtct Attorney Cameron may te & Candidate for the Republican nomina tion for Governor. He as much as ad mitted the fact yesterday, thouph with the halting hesitancy of a girl who asks for more time to consider a pro posal. "It means a lot of work,' he said, and I am (retting- old. I have been urged by tome of my friends to get in the race." Mr. Cameron's term as District At torney will not expire until 1913, and, though he should fail In his guberna torial aspirations, he still would have ihis present position to fall back on. iBy reason of this, It Is reasoned by his friends, he would continue to be active politically and . defeat at this time would not endanger his chances when tils term expires. Eight Now in Field. Already there are said to be eight candidates for the Republican guberna torial nomination. The contest prom ises to be lively, and probably will be gin in earnest within a fortnight. All of those aspiring to this nomination, km - well as other state offices, will, it Is understood, seek the Indorsement of the state Republican assembly. The report In The Oregonlan yester Hay of various candidacies, both coun ty and state, caused much comment In local political circles. Probably no other announcement created more gen eral comment than that bearing on the Congressional situation in the Second Oregon District. W. R. fillis, present Representative in Congress, is prom ised a strong race. John F. Logan, a well-known Portland attorney, and A. fW. Lafferty, a young and coming law yer, are both av wed candidates. Their announcements are authoritative. Mr. Iiafferty Is now in the East on busi , ness, where he has been since early In March. He wil return home the latter part of this month. In letters to friends here he has confirmed the re port of his intentions to be a candidate. Those Who Are Hopeful. Those who It is understood will be candidates for Governor, 'besides Mr. Cameron, are: Dr. Andrew C. Smith and State Food and Dairy Commis sioner Bailey, of Portland; Jay Bower raan, of Condon, President of the State Benate; Judge Stephen A. Lowell, of Pendleton; State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ackerman; Dr. James Withycombe, of Corvallis, and Judge Grant B. Dlmick, of Oregon City. The formal call of Chairman George, of the Btate. Republican Central Com mittee, for county and state assemblies Is expected to be issued within the next few weeks. "When It is formally is Bued, the dates for the various county assemblies will be fixed.-Already, how ever, Coos and Baker Counties have decided to hold their assemblies. In Multnomah County the assembly will be held July 19, one week after the county mass primaries for the selection of delegates to the assembly. The (ttate assembly will be held July 21. Chough two months yet remain until that time, as political matters go that Is not long, and the activities of candi dates before the assembly no doubt will become marked more and more from Blow onr VOTERS REGISTER SOON Primary and General Elections Gov erned by Registration. All persons desiring to vote In the gen ieral primaries September 24 and the gen eral election November 8 must register again this year. Registration will com mence June 13 and continue through to September 15. Registration will then Iclose until after the party primary. After the nominating primary elections registration will again open on Septem ber 28 and will remain open until October 24. In this way additional and ample op portunity Is provided for everyone to register. Unless .a qualified voter shall register during the time named, accord ing to the Oregon law, it is difficult to exercise the voting power. The present law governing this phase ,of elections commenced with 1900, pro viding that registration of voters must occur biennially thereafter. At that time registration commenced with the first Monday In January. Since then the time of holding elections has been changed from the Spring to the Fall and in con sequence the time . for registering was also changed. As soon as registration commences the organizations of all political parties will etart an active campaign to the end that all voters affiliated with each may be registered. Probably the attention paid to this feature of their work i3 second only to getting out the vote on election day. ACTIVITIES ARE RESUMED Humors Say Mount Hood Iiine Will Be Pushed at Once.

After Visit to Pacific Coast, Vice- President Favors 1arge Expenditures. The expenditure of practically $2,000,000 by the Pacific States Telephone & Tele graph Company for extensions and im provementa in the Northwest is assured as a result of the visit of Vice-President II.

It was his first trip through this district and he marveled at the growth of the country and business conditions In general. Local officers will now make their recommendations for improvements and further extensions and I think there will be little difficulty in having them granted.

SAYS CULTURE FORBIDS Wealthy Mining; Man Reproaches Her for Alleged Breach of Faith and Brings Suit to Recover Possession, of Diamond. Can a woman, brought up In the cul tured precincts of Boston fall In love, be come engaged and be married all within a week's time? Miss Clara A. Berg, formerly stenog rapher for Ralph Hoyt, of the Rose Fes tival committee, answers in the nega tive. Miss Berg says that a woman of culture could not think of taking the great step within such a short time, and the man who suggests and insists on such action lacks the culture which a Boston woman expects in a husband. This is a part of the story which was brought out yesterday when R. F. Shier, a wealthy mining man of Gates. Or, filed a suit In Justice Court against Miss Berg. ror recovery of a solitaire diamond ring. Tiffany Betting, valued at 200. Shier al leges in the complaint that on May 9. 191ft he owned a diamond ring, which he gave Miss Berg to wear, on condition that they were to be married a week later. Miss Berg: fused. At the end of a week's time, on May 16, Miss Berg refuse!, he says, to fulfill her part of the verbal agreement, de claring that it was Impossible for her to marry him within such a short time. She also is alleged to have made various re marks regarding the lack of culture of Westerners who might expect a Boston girl to go through the marriage ceremony on such short notice. Shier also says that he gave Miss Berg the sum of $75 on May with which he wished to have her purchase her wedding trousseau. He makes no demand for this money, however, only demanding the re turn of the sparkling gem which was to have been the bond for their union. Many Requests Made. He affirms in the complaint that he has made numerous requests for the ring, but that Miss Berg has persisted in her refusal to return it. In his suit, he asks that she be compelled to either return the solitaire, or reimburse him in the sum of $200. Miss Berg has a week in which to answer the complaint. She only recently lert the employ of the Rose Festival com mittee. She lives at 36214 East Morrison street. She was sued a short time ago by Sarah B. Jones; a music teacher at Fifteenth and Morrison streets, who charged with falling to pay for music lessons. GRESHAM TO TAP BULL RUN Agreement Said to Have Been Reached "With Portland Officials.

JUDGE FINES BOTH SIDES Neighborhood Row Implicates Plain tiff as 'Well as Defendant. "When neighbors fall out, the city gains," said Municipal Judge Bennett yesterday morning when the case of James Andrews against Guy McNamarra, charged with assault and battery, was concluded. Judge Bennett fined the de fendant $15, and Imposed a penalty of $10 on the plaintiff, as evidence was brought out during the course of the trial which showed that Andrews had used Indecent and abusive language. McNamarra lives at 6S8 Hood .street. His. next door neighbor is Andrews. On (Monday McNamarra missed a small board which he uses in his camera, soon after noticing It In Andrews' hand, the latter being in his own yard. McNamarra accused Andrews of taking the board. the lie was passed, and McNamarra hurled a couple of malt extract bottles at his neighbor. Andrews thereupon vented a choice lot of billingsgate upon his as sailant.. Judge Bennett said that he believed both parties to the case had told the truth when on the witness-stand, and. xnereiore, ne mougni ootn were gulltv. SLAYING OF ELK CHARGE Charles gwatman Arrested by Game Warden Near Newport. NEWPORT, Or., May 18. (Special.) Sheriff Ross passed through New port yesterday with Charles Swatman, alias Ranchman, in custody, charged with having killed an elk in this coun ty last Fall.

DESCHUTES VALLEY JOYFUL Prospects for Prosperity Better-Than Ever Before. i H RNT I, Or.. May 18. (Special.) Never before In local history have the pros pects for a banner season been so bril liant as they are today. Not only does this apply to the economlo develop ment of the land, resulting from the advent of transportation to a terri tory ripe for It, but to the exceptionally promising Spring the weather man has seen fit to bestow upon the Deschutes Valley. Probably, four inches of rain have fallen during the last 60 days. All this has come at a time that could not be more advantageous to the crops.. The result is that wheat In many Instances already Is more than a foot in height, with all other grains proportionally thriving. On his recent trip through the Bend country, Louis W. Hill stood in a so-called "dry farmed" field of Winter wheat which reaohed above his knees. What is particularly valuable to the country. at this juncture is the prom ise of great forage crops. The demand for hay and grain will be unprece dented, with the coming of the railroad builders and their many horses, and the rains of the last few 'weeks mean thousands of dollars to the ranchers who without them might have been hard put to it to meet the demand. $350,000 DEAL CLOSED COLUMBIA TRtST COMPANY BTJXS 177 ACRES.

"We will establish warehouses and shops on the tract purchased and thereby expect to effect a considerable saving. Portland, on account of its central location, has been chosen as the place for the gen eral headquarters of the company as well as for the shops. "Our shops will not be manufactur ing establishments, but will be used for overhauling and repairing our ma chinery, of which we have about $1,000,000 worth. This will require a considerable force of skilled machin ists. We will have everything not in actual use kept in Portland and dls tributed from here. The equipment consists of locomotives, steam shovels and other pieces of heavy machinery. The handling of this will of course mean considerable additional shipping to Portland.
