HEN GETS OUT
OF SENATORIAL RACE
Yfttbtr of InitiatiT and Referendum
' Withdraws In Pavor of Cake, 8tate
: vent No. 1 Candidate Pays His Re
pecta to Scott and Mathews.
"W. 9. U'Ren of Oregon City has
withdrawn from the race for the Re
publican nomination for United States
-ienator. Mr. U'Ben announced his cau
'dMacy February 5. la withdrawing
ie; gives his reasons for entering the
lace and for withdrawing and incident
tally pays his respects to H. W, Scott,
"Jack" Matthews and others, and
iag$ia advices Scott to me, the editor
of the Tribune. Ho pledges his support
:to H. M. Cake. Mr. U 'Ren says in part:
"On February 25 I offered myself us
U candidate for the office of United
'States senator from Ore iron, subject to
Hbe approval of the Republic an voters at
tthe primary election. No candidate for
r-aenator was then Baying anything in fa
U'or of the election by tho legislature of
Hbe people's hoice for that ofiioo on
ttbe principles of Statement Xo. 1. La
Her, I hoped that Mr. Cake and myself
tfuight both leave the field for any ng
fgressive Ropubliean advocate of State
ment No. 1, who could obtain the nonii
n at ion und united the party for the
itJuno election. But Mr. Cako refused,
(because he was confident he could win
"iln June by reason of his popularity, not
Withstanding the opposition of the Ore
igonian and its faction.
"Perhaps I was uuduly alarmed by
fthe noise of those who opposo tlie peo
ple's selection of United States senators
fttnd their election by a Statement No. 1
legislature. But I know something of
hhe plans of It. W. Scott, Jack Mat
'tbews and some other wealthy men and
politicians representing great corporate
.interests. At one tine, 1 believe T. B.
Wilcox was a member of the group, but
-later be stated that ho would not be a
candidate for United States senator un
dor any circumstances, unless it should
be before the people. These men were
:and are contributing their money and in--fluence
to Senator Fulton's campaign
for the Republican nomination, but they
'will' support Chamberlain for the popu
;lar choico nt the June election. Mr.
"Seott is doing this even now by his edi
torial declarations in the Oregon ian that
'Fulton cannot defeat Chamberlain be
i'fore the people. They plan to elect as
nja "J members of the legislature as
possible, unpledged, or with some equiv
' oeal promise.
"Any pledge suits their purpose ' bet-
ter than the people's instruction of;
Statement No. 1.
"H. W. Scott, Matthws & Co. expect
ho be able to put the oflico of United
'States senator up at auction again next
January as it was in 1903. when Mr.
'Scott promised Jonathan Bourne, Jr.
$6000 an hour and other considerations
to get out of the way on the last night
f the session. Such deals were not un:
' common under ttie old system, and
were spoken of as ."clearing the decks"
or "paying the campaign expenses" of
the retiring candidate. Mr. Scott, in n
way, denies the .contract, but I have
: good reason for my belief that ho made
it. And if U. W. Scott will sue for
libel, either the American Magazine or
the Medford Tribune, and will listen to
tho evidence, Mr. Scott himself will be
' convinced that he did make the eon
tract substantially as, Mr. Stefl'cns and
Mr. Pntnam published it.
Yet Harvey Scott is not so much
to blame for making the contract. Such
things were inevitable, under the old
system. But he is worthy of all possi
ble blame, and the contempt of all de
cent men, for his efforts to destroy the
system which prevents such corruption
and enables the people to ehooie their
senators, instead of having the office
sold to the highest bidder by a few
members of the legislature. This at
tack on Statement No. I is only the be
ginning of their warfaro on the in it i
ative and referendum and all the legis
lation of Oregon that has taken power
from the bosses and given it to the poo
plo. The editorial columns of the Ore
go titan aro sufficient proof.
"Self-preservation is the first law of
politicians, as well as other men, ami
If the dominant party loses in Oregon
under this plan the politicians in con
trol in other states, whether Democrats
or Republicans, will be more than ever
bitter and obstinate in opposing any ex
tension of the direct power of the pen
plo in tho government."
LANE OFFERS BOUNTY
FOR COYOTE SCALPS
The Lane county commissioners'
court has made an order directing the
payment of $2.50 for every coyote, wolf
and cougar killed in Laue county here
after. The order was made upon peti
tion of the South Lane County Coyote
club, consisting of HO farmerms and
stockmen residing at Cottage Grove,
Walker and Creswell and their respect
ive vicinities. During the past year
the club has paid out considerable
money in bounties, but the animals still
continue their depredations. It is
hoped the bounty offered may be the
means of driving the auimals further
into the mountains, where the stock will
not be molested as much as now. Be
fore the bounty on these animals wan
abolished a few years ago the stock
men Buffered very little, many moun
taineers making it a business of hunt
ing them lit secure the bounty, thus
keeping them back so far into the moun
tains that they seldom ventured down
into the vnllevs.
SHAMROCK II TO RACE
WITH DAVENPORT'S HORSE
WEYERHAEUSER LEASING
OF RANOES UNSATISFACTORY
The system adopted by tho Weyer
haeuser Timber company, whereby the
extensive holdings of the company in
Klamath and Lake counties are leased
to stockmen for range purposes is not
proving popular with the small sheep
men. The large terirtory owned by the
Weyerbaeusers has heretofore been nt
"the disposal of nil stoekmen with no
questions asked. Now the company Tin
leased a major portion of its acreage to
Pave Rdler, one of the largest sheepmen
of Southern Oregon, which deprives the
mall man in the sheep indtitfry f
summer range for his fWkrf, except
what he can secure in the government
reserve. Dave Edler now has 27,000
head of sheep in Klamath aad Like
counties. The spring increase will add
a large percentage to this am bar,
that his flocks will require more rtaav
thao that needed bv tfce flock of ten
average aheepmr, as fa as a if
business in this sects bavt flat
2000 head.

Vrvd T. Cromwell will raee Shamrock
11 against Homer Davenport's Arabian
horso across the continent, instead of
Shamrock I, who injured his hoof a
week ago and has gone lame. Mr. Crom
well says:
"I have bet $5000 with some eastern
sportsmen that our western horses will
beat the Arabian, because. I think my
horses will stand tho mountains better.
Shamrock II traveled 000 miles in the
Canadian mountains last summer and
will go over the Rockies without hurting
himself a bit.
'MIe is really an Oregon horse. He
is 0 yeans old and came to Alberta from
Kasteru Oregon. Ho is from Kentucky
stock, matched with a western range
mare. The racers will all leave San
Francisco in June and ought to be in
Washington in three months and a half.
Elliott, one of my cowboys, will ride
Shamrock IT. "
Mr. Cromwell is a wealthy Edmonton
cattleman. There will bo four horses
in the transcontinental race. Besides
Homer Davenport's Arabian steed and
Shamrock IT, the government will have
a soldier with au army horse and the
Denver Post has entered a mustang and
a cowboy.
