TOUGH ON CANDIDATES
The Oregoniaa has created a
situation in Oregon politics that
will make matters very disagree
able for prospective candidates
and render difficult the election
of the State Repupllcan ticket;
though for this it appears to
care very little. It has constantly
' threatened that no candidate
could be elected or would have
its support unless his name was
first submitted to the Portland
assembly. These threats are sure
to provoke retaliation, and maay
Republicans will refuse to vote
fer a Acsmbly candidate, aid
ceording to the Oregomian they
will be justified in doing so unless
he receives an actual majority of
votes cast at the primaries. The
Assembly represents the frac
tions of the old machine. They
have 10 love for each other, but
they absolutely hate the direct
primary law and all its fruits,
therefore they will do their best
to conduct a reasonably har
monious convention, and to a
great extent they will support its
nominees in the direct primary
election. Then we have it on the
authority of the Oregonian that
if any candidate for a nomination
fails to receive a majority of all
votes cast, even though he b
one of those '"suggested," there
isnopartyobligaiion upon anyone
to support him: "A candidate,'
says the Oregonian, "who rejects
the represeutative system of
party assembly, must then be
sure that he has backing of a
majority of the party voters be
fore he can lay valid claims to
being a Republican. " Of course
the anti-assembly Republicans
will say: "No man is a true Re
publican who attempts to nullify
the direct primary law, passed by
an immense majority of the voters
of this Republican State." For
the Oregonian to boast of its Re
publicanism and to attempt to
read men out of the party is
laughable. It has always been a
free user of the political knife,
and whenever the party listened
to its counsel as to nominations
as in the caseof Furnish it has
gone down to defeat, and when
nominations were made in op
position to its wishes it has failed
to give true support to the party
ticket. Rule or ruin has been its
policy in the past and it has
given plenty of assurance that
there is to be no change in this
respect this year.
PORTLAND LETTER
Portland, Or., July 5. (Special.)
The outcome of an experiment to he
tried with burned-over timber in Coos
County by the Sauta Fe railroad will
be watched with Interest throughout
the Paclno Northwest. If suecessful
it will mean that large areas of for
est, formerly considered useless, will
become valuable for the burned-over
Umber yet remaining. The Santa Fe
bas contracted tor 1200 cedar piling
from such a tract in Coos County.
the charred piling proves a success
much more of the same material will
ke bought by the Santa Fe and a wide
market will be found for this now ap
parently werthleas timber.
Portland ends the cereal shipping
year May 31, holding second place In
the entire eonatry as a wheat export
ing city. New Tork atone has greater
volume to its credit. During the past
12 months Portland has sent away
6,350.033 bushels of wheat, valued at
15,791,304.
Large appropriations for Oregon wa
terway improvements are available by
the passage of the rivers and harbors
bill by the recent Congress. More
than $1,000,000 will be spent In per
fecting the Jetty at the mouth of the
Columbia River and additional funds
are provided for dredging the lower
Willamette and Columbia Rivers. The
improvement of the upper Willamette
and Columbia is provided for, as Is
the Celilo Canal, which gets $600,000.
Together with the Great Northern
tHe Northern Paalfic wilt carry on a
worh of exploitation of Oregon. Writ
ers and publicity men are now being
enlisted by the line to work up ma
terial to be used throughout the coun
try In spreading the knowledge of
Oregon broadcast. WUh the Hill lines
actively engaged in the work of pub
licity, large results can be expected
Attention is called by the Oregonian
to the, growth of the livestock indus
try in the Pacific Northwest. On one
day of last week it says ten carloads of
wheat were received at Portland and
4 carloads of livestock. It is main
tained that the stock grower will be
come a more important factor in the
prosperity of the state than the wheat
grower within he coming ten years.
Then there will be more wheat grown
than at present, but ttie livestock in
dustry will have expanded to a re
markable degree by that time, due to
Portland having the greatest stock
yards and panking plant on the Pacific
Coast. This means much to the city's
future, It is believed.
Salem, the capital otiy, will holds Its
annual cherry fair on July 7, 8 and 9.
The treat promises to be a big affair
and It being widely advertised. Peo
ple from the entire valley will attend
and unusual preparations are being
made to entertaia them. There will
be keen competition between the val
ley counties for prizes In the cherry
exhibits and amusement features of
the fair will be better than ever.
That high prices for food preducts
are driving many people back to the
rm is the belief of those who have
given the matter attention. It is con
tended that not for years has the move
ment been so noticeable as now. All
ports of the Pacific Northwest are be-
benefited, it Is said, by this deser-
of the cities and return to the
Confidence is expressed that this
ill balance production and consuniD-
tion and bring prices of farm products
own to lower levels.

SUPPORTING POINPEXTER
Theodore Roosevelt has an
nounced that he will support
Miles Poindexter, the Washing
ton Insurgent Republican, in his
fight for election to the United
States Senate, and therefore the
Oregonian is sure Roosevelt is
"trifling with his own great
popularity. " Just possible, ye
kno, Oregonian is mistaken. All
of its assumptions recently in re
gard to what would happen to the
Insurgents have proven incorrect.
Maybe it is wrong about Jonathan
Bourne. Possibly the Assembly
is Another blunder. Great paper,
the Oregonian, but all great
things have their limitation. The
King that ordered the tide to
quit rising had to move or get
his feet wet Same Condition
Confronts great paper. Have to
gig backward or lose prestige.
Used to be invincible. All same;
Rainier won. The Oregonian says
that Tom Seaton won the game. While
that may not be, still St. Helens would
bave had an excellent chance if it had
not been for the big leaguers.
Krakke certainly pitched great ball to
start the game, and it was fun to nee
him make the Importations from the
Class "A" League lay down their bats.
Pete also placed a fine game at second
base for Clatskanie Tuesday .
As usual, Joe Haggia was there with
the goods. W.' bave heard it raid that
he was not the pitcher that be was when
he shut Seattle out last year, but he is
pitching better ball this year than ever
before this year, and we hope he keeps
it up.
We understand that Manager Wil-
kins has resigned his position as pilot
Of tha St. Helens ball team, and that
another manager will be elected at some
time in the near future. Mr. Wilkins
has put in lots of time and work in get
ting a good nine here, and lias kept up
a winning team.
Biyant, of Clatfkauie, as we said on
a former occasion, is a young pitcher
who has the goods when it comes to
filling the box. At Clatskanie a short
time ago lie ma le the St. Helens boy
lay down their bats pretty regular, and
he kept the heavy hitters of P.ainier
gue:sing.
As usual, Perry Austin opened the
game with a good, clean hit. This
seems to have become a regular habit
With Perry, and it is certainly a good
one. He has the best batting average
of anyone on the team. For the sake
af his tender feelings, we wont eay any
thing about pop flics.
