Southern Pacific Man "Dead."
Anderson was an avowed machine
candidate, controlled by the Southern
Pacific. His weak vote was one of the
big surprises. Johnson's land slide is
believed to have demoralized the or
ganization. The voters, freed from the
restraint slated of . the convention's
republicated system, under whih Cali
i. fornia previously existed, derricked
t the machine to the scrap heap, poli
tically. : U !';;.;!:?

Old age Is queer sometimes sturdy
and Bometimes feeble but Mr, Rudio
one of the oldest men of Eastern Ore
gon, and a pioneer freifchier of .this
section of Oregon claims distinction
evidently, of as hardy a constitution as
any man in the state. At the ad

Her Fifty Tears Age.
Just an" even half century ago he
stood by the hot springs where, the
Hot Lake Sanatorium is now situated,
and there washed his dusty clothing In
the nature-heated water. He was a
freighter at that time, and often did
he make use of the hot water there, as
a laundry where. In his rest moments,
he could "spruce up a bit." Yester
day morning he was taken suddenly ill
and an operation Immediately, was the
only thing that'saved his life. -

of Mrs. Walter M. Pierce and several

INTERNATIONAL SONDES RACE

flimsy canvas which was today spread
to to breesfetn the first of a series, of
international Bonder class yacht races
for the President Taft and . Gpvernor
Draper cups'. The course hi off Mar
blehead, ' where a large crowd- of
yachting enthusiasts are gathered to
day (6 witness the inauguration of the
memorable contest for supremacy.'
The three Spanish challengers,
which fly the colors of the Federation
of Spanish Yacht clubs, are the. Pa
poose,' the Mosquito II, and the Cbon1
ta. They are '.opposed by. three of the.
fastest-Bonder class yachts on this
side of the ocean, selected by a series
of elimination races under the auspi
ces of the Eastern Yacht Club. The
contest is a sort of a return match,
as the American boats visited Bilboa
and San Sebastian, Spain, on their way
home from: Germany In 1907.- The
Spaniards ' proved too much for the
Yankee boats on that occasion. but
with better craft and th6 surer Vith-
er conditions off Marbiehead, the Am
erican sailors are confident of their
ability to .square matters this, week.
King Alfonso has given hit royal en
dorsement to the international ,'con
test, and, as President Taft has ex
hlblted ' his j approval, by offering n
cup, the race has a truly International
bearing.
