Under the above caption The Dalles Optimist pushes the following editorial comment: "There tire three enndldutes for the republican nomination for congress In this district ev-Clovernor Geer, W. R. Ellis, the present representative, and George S. Shepherd, a Portland at torney. Of these Mr. Geer is by far the best known, has had a much wider experience In tho public affairs of the state and Is decidedly the best equip ped to represent It In the halls of congress. Reports from every part of the district Indicate that he will be nominated by a large plurality. If not by a clean majority vote. "Mr. Oeer Is a native of the state and has spent all his life here, living when a younger man. In eastern Ore gon, In Union county, for nearly 11 years, and has since kept In close touch with Its affairs and wants. He has served four terms In the state , legislature, being the speaker of the 'house In the session of 1891. In 1896 he was one of the McKlnley electors, stumping the state In every portion of It, and It was generally conceded at the time that his speeches to the far mers on the silver fallacy did more to carry the state for the gold standard than any other single agency. He was chosen to take the electoral vote to Washington In January, 1897. by his associates. "In 1898 Mr. Oeer was nomlnnted for governor at the republican state convention by acclamation, the only Instance of the kind In the history of the party In Oregon. In the following June, after campaigning in every county In the state, he was elected by a majority of nearly 11, MOO over his democratic opponent, the largest ma jority by far ever given In the state for governor. "At tho end of his term he wns de feated for a rennmlnatlon through the agency of factional, troubles In the party, and at once appealed to the peoplo as n candidate for United Plates senator, and though carrying the slato over tho democratic candi date by 14.000 majority, the same In fluences which defeated him for the gubernatorial nomination, controlled the legislature and he was again de feated. "For many years Mr. fleer has by common consent been regarded as the most effective borne out by the heavy loaded trains. Why not? We have Just the country those who are being forced out of the congested east are looking for, and every family that buys and lives here a few months, writes to other friends, urging them to come. They are coin ing by the thousand und this grcal northwest can absorb millions, anil each thousand that docs come, makes It that much easier for the next thousand to cast their lot with us. - - The owners of automobiles lit Seat tle are elated over tho gasoline war that Is now being waged by the Cali fornia oil companies and the Standard Oil company. The price tins now reached the lowest point at which gas oline has ever reached In the north west lfiVj cents per gallon. The owners of autos In this valley would not bo adverse to a little competition here. We may have to wait until the Vale oil wells come to our relief. SIX MS Mi II IK, In about one week, reports Travel ing Engineer Kennedy, the Baldwin Locomotive works of Philadelphia, will start the second consignment of new engines westward for La Grande, and In something like six weeks the order should arrive here. The batch Is composed of six en gines, a little different than those now In use here. They are similar to the 190 class, except that they are the 10-wheeler type. This class does not carry trailers. 1 There Is another order of six en gines that will purs through La Grande about the time tho La Grande consign ment arrives. These, however, ore for Portland and will be used on the extreme west end of the O. R. & N. The three engines which reached here recently In charge of Mr. Ken nedy, will be set up soon and be ready for service when needed. It Is believed the 10-wheeelr class will prove more effective on mountain service than the 12-wheeler type. The wheel base Is not as long nn the for mer as the latter, and mnke less dan ger In going around curves rapidly. DOMESTIC NCIKXC'K. Topic for NclglilMirliixxl Huh Meet ing Xo.t Tuesday Afternoon.
