Dr. Houck slated that lie uuturea to have it understood thut theie is no rivalry between himself and Mr. Hamilton, and that iu con sentihg to become a candidate he is doing so only at the urging of his friends, who have Insisted on such action. "there will be no personalities in jected into the campaign and 1 do not intetnd to put forward auy vigor ous effort lor election. If chosen by the people to represent them as the chief executive of Uoseburg, 1 will endeavor to give an administration entirely devoted to the best interests of the city. I will try to give a thorough business-like administra tion, keeping In mind at all times the deslreB and welfare of the residents of Uoseburg. The petitions necessary to put Dr. Houck's name on the ballot are being prepared today and will be put inio circulution at once. Dr. Houck at one time served as councilman under Mayor F. W Haynes. At that time a great deal of business was attended to by the council, which outlined and adopted the sanitary measures still ln force ln the city. The present extensive sewer system was outlined and adontod. while several clean-up old iuanccs were put through, in spite of vigorous opposition, and have proved to be very successful and are now strictly enforced. It was during this administration that the clean-up camnalen was inaugurated. Dr. Houck's executive ability has hoen fullv demonstrated. At the out break of hostilities In Mexico he held the commission of captain in the medical corps. For political reasons he was retired when the medical de partment of the state was called out, but this matter, when called to the attention of the war department, re sulted in his being sent to Mexico with a regular outfit. Ho was giv various promotions and assignments and returned with a commission as maior. With the declaration of war on Germany he went into service linino- diatelv and was soon appointed sum tary Inspector of the southern dis trict, a very responsioie poHiuun, mhir-h he filled with entire satisfac tion After being sent overseas he was nlaced In charge of a base hospi tal later annointed sanitary inspec inr for southern France, and at last made president of the dlsaninty board. This latter position was one requiring the exercise of a strict ex ecutive ability and the responsibility was enormous. In this capacity Dr. Houck served for many months, win ning for himself a promotion to the rank of lieutenant-colonel, the title which he still retains ln the medical reserve. LABORER KILLED "BY BUSINESS MEN GIVEN WARNING Financial Quarantine Will Placed on Oregon If Limit Approved. be Kxnrt Cause of Accident N'ot Known SlipHslliiin Is That Smith lropjed Lighted ClgHrette Into Can of Dynamite. W. W. Smith, an employe of Dr. George A. Dradhurn, of Wlnstons, was instantly killed this morning when a can of dynamite which he was holding exploded. The accident took place In the orchard adjoining the Dradburn home and it is noi known exactly how It occurred. Cor oner Itittcr of this . city was called immediately following the accident, and the supposition is that Smith, who was smoking at the time, dropped his cigarette Into the can of dynamite, or that a flying sparK ig nited the explosive. Other workers and Dr. Bradburn were in the or chard at the time, but were standing about 240 feet away. After the ex plosion they rushed to the spot, but Smith was dead, having evidently been killed Instantly. .Smith had been subsoillng the Bradburn orchard, this being done by setting small sticks of dynamite in the soil surrounding the tree for the pu-poe of loosening I he noil. He had been doing this worn yesterday ann had several times been warned by oilier employes concerning smoking. as he was very careless with cigarette stubs. Another supposition Is that he dropped the dynamite. Starting out this morning with 100 three fourths sticks, he had set them under two rows of trees, so that the ran at the time of the explosion contained from fifty to sixty sticks of the ex plosive. The body was terribly mutilated, both eyes were completely gone, the right ear was blown off, the right arm broken above the elbow and above the wrist, both legs broken above the ankle Joint, and the re mainder of tho body terribly dlsfig- The deceased Is survived by a wife nnd four small children, who are now residing in the office of tho old c.innerv nt Greens.

Business men of Douglas county were warned yesterday afternoon by Lloyd Utches, secretary of tho Ore gon State Editorial association, that a financial quarantine will be placed upon the state of Oregon through the enactment of the proposed live per cent Interest rate law If a vigor ous campaign of education is not carried on against the vicious meas ure. Mr. Riches, a well-known news paper man, Is making a speaking tour of the Btato against this meas ure and spoko before a gathering of Douglas county business men In the Dnuglus County Abstract company building Monday afternoon. "The proposed live per cent Inter est rate law Is one of Ihe most vicious measures ever aimed at the business and economic stubllity of any state In the union," said Mr. Itlches. "It Is a constitutional' amendment which would change the present interest rate laws, reducing the legal rate from 6 per cent to 4 per cent and the maximum contract rate f'-"in 10 per cent lo B per cent, and h! -:ifically providing that the contract rate of B per cent shall be Inclusive of any and all brokerage and commissions. Let us consider what effects this law would have upon tho life of this 81 ate. "Money has a price, just as wheat and potatoes have a price, and that price is the rate of Interest It is earning. ThlB price fluctuates Just as the price of wheat and potatoes fluctuates, because of the law of supply and demand. Todny there Is such a tremendous deinnnd for money to rebuild the war devastated world that interest rates are exceed ingly, high, aud you and I on sell the use of bur money In Ihe world market, on gilt-edge security, for 8, 8 "A and 9 per cent. "What would happen If the rale of Interest in Oregon Is placed at 6 ner cent? Just the same thing would happen were we foolish enough to fix the price of wheat in Oregon at 25 cents a bushel and po tatoes at 10 cents a bushel. Tho wheat and potatoes would be sent outside of the state wheat market niices could bo obtained and like wise monev would me loaned on out side securities. Existing loans would be called as soon as possible nnd no new loans made, misiness men, farmers und homo owners would be unable to renew their mortgages nnd notes and an orgy of wholesale foreclosures would follow. Let me call your attention to tne clause In the proposed law specifi cally providing that the .contract rate of B per'cent is exclusive of nlf brok- rages and commissions. I nis would mean that the state of Oregon and II nolltlcal subdivisions such counties, cities, school districts, road districts, etc., could issue only 6 per cent bonds for Biich Improvement!! as are necessary and would have to sell tho bonds at par. The evident ellects of sucn a law annear so clear to those who under stand it that it would seem I hat no me would be foolish enough to favor it. But we have found that many will-meaning nnd Intelligent voters hlnk that t his law would compel the loaning of meny In the state nt B per cent. A vigorous campaign of edu cation Is necessary to show the poo- nle the real truth of Ibis vicious measure and 1 urge you men to see that this message is carried Into every nreclnct In your county. Mr. Riches also called attention to tho mennce of thn Non-Partisan League In Oregon. He said he ha Investigated tho league's activities In ihe state and placed a conservative estimate of the present membership In the state at 10.000, and told spe cific facts of Investigation to bi ar out his estimate. "We have all read of the great In jury done to tho state of North Da kota bv this organization. Tax there are 300 per cent higher than before the advent of the league and North Dakota has been plunged Into virtual stati' socialism. The league feeds itsidf upon the dissatisfaction of the farmers, and if we keep Its tenacious fingers off the throat Oregon we must meet the farmer nnd hetn htm In the solution of his problems. The ntate Taxpayer league has Instituted a measure which will provide for a market com missioner. This official will len.l stale leadership lo co-operate with producing organizations, assist In marketing their products and Ihere- A very quiet wedding waa per formed Saturday evening at 8:30 when Donald K.
