RESULTS OF
ELECTION.
The Republican Nominees
Cii j -
State and Congres-
on
sional Tickets Elected by
Large Majorities.
Clackamas County, in Spite of
High Taxes, Rolls Up Good
Majorities for all the Can
didates Except J. C. Zin
ser for Superintendent of
Schools, who Wins Out by
a Small Majority.
The result of the election held
last Monday was a surprise to no
one. As has been expected, the
entire State and Congressional
ticket went Republican by large
majorities.
Frank A. Moore was chosen as
Supreme Court Justice, and J, W.
Bailey as Food and Dairy Commis
sioner. Binger Hermann and J. N.
Williamson will represent Oregon
in the next Congress.
In the Fifth Judicial District,
Judge T. A. McBride had no oppo
sition as a candidate for re-election
to succeed himself. Harrison Allen
was the only candidate for Prose
cuting Attorney in this district.
J. E. Hedges, Democratic nom
inee fo; joint representative for
Clackamas and Multnomah coun
ties, polled a very heavy vote in
this county, but was unable to over
come the Republican majority in
Multnomah. His plurality in the
county over Holcomb was 441.
This result ws5 due almost entirely
to the high esteem in which Mr.
Hedges is held by the people of the
county, but it may have been due,
in a small measure, to the disaffec
tion in the Republican ranks caused
by Multnomah's delegates in the
Republican convention ignoring the
rights of Clackamas county to a
voice in the selection of a candidate
for joint representative.
I he vote in this county on Con
gressman was a surprise to Repub
licans and Democrats alike. The
vote in Reames a year ago indicated
great dislike for Hermann, and there
has been but little during the cam
paign to indicate any change in
sentiment. In spite of this, Her
mann has carried the county by
about 300 votes.
The count on the legislative
ticket shows a pretty close party
vote, although C. G. Huntley ran
ahead of his ticket.
Charles Ely, the Democratic
candidate for sheriff, appeared at
the outset of the campaign to have
no chance or election, it was pre
dieted by many Republicans that
Mr. bhaver, the Republican nom
inee, wouia De -nign man" on
their ticket. But it speaks much
for Mr. Ely's popularity and ability
as a vote-getter, tnat he cut down
Shaver's plurality in the three
Oregon City precincts of 168 two
years ago, to 88 in this election.
H. G. Starkweather ran the Re
publican nominee, J. C. Zinser. a
close race for Superintendent of
Schools. Mr. Starkweather is very
popular throughout the county, but
was not quite able tp overcome the
very large Republican majority. A
lie sprung on the eve of the elec
tion was probably .responsible. ior
his defeat, It was stated that Mr.
Starkweather,' at one time elected
county superintendent on the Pop
ulist ticket, had tried to secure the
nomination' for that office at the
hands of the Republicans four years
ago. This latter . statement is a
brazen falsehood, as . Mr. Stark
weather was not a resident of this
county In 1000, had not been such
for two years, and did not return
until 1 901, but was during that
time principal of the La Grande
schools, in Union county. Nor had
he sought a nomination for that
office, or any other, in any county,
at the hands of any party.
The vote by precincts for the var
ious candidates will be given as soon
as the official count can be obtained.
The following are the totals in
the county as given from unofficial

GRANGERS ENJOY
THEMSELVES.
Children's Day Observed
at
Clackamas.
Chifdren's Day was observed
last Saturday at Clackamas. Four
granges, Abernethy, Clackamas,
Damascus and Milwaukie, united
in a celebration intended primarily
fcr children, but which was equally
interesting and instructive to the
older people.
A very entertaining program
was presented by the members of
the various granges. The principal
feature ot the occasion was the ad
dress by the Rev. A. Le Roy,
Superintendent of the Oregon
Bureau of Information. He spoke
in the interests of the bureau, of
what it has accomplished and what
it expects to accomplish for the
upbuildiug of the state. The
granges were urged to send ex
hibits to the bureau at Portland,
and to aid in disseminating liter
ature advertising the advantages
our state offers to homeseekers and
capitalists.
The whole affair was a very en
joyable one. Lunch was served in
the I. O. O. F., and the exercises
ere conducted in the adjoining
grove. . Alter the exercises, the
250 grangers present left for theii
several homes, having been highly
entertained and greatly benefited
by meeting the members of the
various granges represented at the
meeting.
Electricity's Part.
The many proiects which are under
way for the construction oi electric rail
way lines are proof of the great import
ance of electricity in the development of
the resources of the Pacific Coast States,
The electric railroad has reached a stage
of development that makes it practi
cable, a here, few yean ago, it would
never have been thought of. For short
routes, and in isolated localities, its ad
vantages over the steam road are mani
fold. It is possible to install and tanin
an electric line at a cost far , less than
that of a stesm road, and the expense of
maintenance is also less.
The Pacile Coast states offer far
greater opportunities for electric lines
than any other region in the United
States, by reason ol the water power
which Is present in such great quanti
ties. By this means it it possible to
provide transportation facilities even in
the most remote localities. There is no
doubt that, in a short time, the states of
California, Oregon, Washington and
Idaho will be a net work of electric lines
formic; connected routes, so that dis
tant settlements will be brought into
communication with the centers of dis
tribution, and the ease of marketing
products will be greatly enhanced

General News as Gathered
From Various Sources.
Brief Resume of the More Important Happenings of the
Week in Oregon
Wholesale Murder of Miners.
A little after 2 o'clock on Monday
morning, a moat shocking wholesale
murder of miners was committed at In
dependence, Colorado, in the Cripple
Creek district. Twenty-five non-union
miners employed on the night shift had
left the mines and were waiting on the
depot platform for the arrival of a train
to convey them home, when an infernal
machine was exploded beneath their
feet, instantly killing 11, and fatally in
juring 8 or 10 others.
The Kansas Floods.
The great rain storm of the latter pait
of last week caused an immense amount
of damage throughout eastern and cen
tral Kansas. Houses, barns and stock
were washed away. The water remained
on wheat, alfalfa and corn fields so long
that these crops are completely ruined.
Train service was demoralized in the
southern part of the state.
Successful Fire Escape.
Eight of the big public schools at
Chicago have been equipped with a pe
culiar cylindrical fire-escape, which is a
source of much joy to the small boy and
me smau gin as wen. itie escape was
given a thorough test this week and
hundreds of youngsters sprang from the
fourth-Btory windows into the tube ftnd
went shooting down tne turbine incline
to the ground unhurt. The escape from
the fourth floor was made in 21 seconds
and the entire school building was emp
tied of its 500 pupils in a trifle over four
minutes. As a result of the test, es
capes were brdered installed immediate
ly upon 16 additional schools and all of
them will be so equipped as rapidly as
the cylinders can be manufactured.
Since the Iroquois fire, there has been
much apprehension regarding the safety
of the little children on the third and
fourth floors of the school buildings,
Borne of these old structures were veri
lame nretraps until tne public was
awakened by the theatre horror. The
children are anxiously awaiting a real
fire in order that they may again enjoy
tb novelty of a rapid trip through the
escapes.
, . PoeaibiUtie of Corea.
"Dr. James Hunter Wells, who has
spent many years in Korea, and is quail
tied to speak with authority, in writing
of the Korean people in the Pacific
Monthly for June, has this to say re
garding the possibilities of Korea, and
its future development :
Japan is an example of what may be
done, even in so brief a period as forty
years, by a modern open-door policy,
backed, instigated and supportod by the
Christian religion. In Korea, we have
as alluring a field and as sturdy a race,
though cruehed withal ; and such pro
gress as is now undreamed of, in in
dustry, education And religion, and civ
ilization, is bound to follow. Korea is
small, to be sure only 700 miles long by
about 150 wide, with some 15,000,000
inhabitants; bnt let the people be edu
cated up to modern requirements, and a
sturdy nation, with all that it implies,
will be the result.
The very things that we have here on
the Pacific coast in such profusion that
is, lumber, wheat, coal, wool, etc. are
just what is lacking over there, and the
demand is increasing. Qiven the open
door, and the commercial benefits to the
CoaBt from Korea, ntt to mention Man
churia and China, are sure to be of
greatest importance.
The Longest Wlvarfin tfte World.
. The wharf at Port Loa Angeles, which
runs out Into the ocean from the mouth
of the canyon two miles north of Santa
Monica, California, is 4700 feet long, and
is said to be the longest wharf in the
world. It is built on wooden piles, sat
in raws 12 feet apart; and if the trees
could be gathered together, standing as
they did before they were cut and buried
head downward in the bed of the ocean,
I hey wonld make a forest of 5000 ever
greens.
The pisr has double tracks the entire
length, and numerous switcbss at the
wharf proper, which broadens consider1
ably and is surrounded by a circle of
massive, concrete piles to support coal
bunkers, offices, warerooms, landing for
steamship passengers, refreshment
shops, etc. ...
A ride down the long wharf is quite
a scenic trip; and the pier is a favorite
haunt for anglers, who connt up trophies
of halibut, many varitles ef bass, benita,
sculpln, yellow-tail, mackerel, pompano,
smelt, kelp-fish ana countless other fish
that roam the clear water and feed off
the kelp fields of Santa Monica Bay.

A Letter from St. Louis.
The following letter from E. W. Ran
dolph, who is attending the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition at St Louis and
incidentally doing something in the way
of advertising Oregon and the LouiB and
Clark Fair, to a friend in this city, will
be of interest to our readers :
. My first stop after leaving Portland
was at Salt Lake City. I putin the time
on the train telling people about Oregon
and the Lewis and Clark fair. I had
visited tbe office of the fair association
while in Portland, where they gave me a
big lot of reading matter and 500 cards.
I also had my famous Oregon fungus,
and some samples of ores that I had
gathered up In Oregon City ; so alto
gether I was pretty well provided with
material to work with.
Salt Lake is a beautiful city, having
many elegant buildings, wide streets and
magnificent Parks, The Mormon build
ings, that is, those belonging to the Mor
mon church, are especially interesting to
strangers. I visited all of them except
the temple, which can only be entered
by the elect. In the tabernacle, which
seats 8,006 people, and which is remark
ably arranged in its construction so that
the whole building vibrates. I listened
to the famed and truly wonderful and
grand chorus of five hundred voices, and
I am Bure that the claim that it is the
finest singing in the world is not with-,
out foundation. I disseminated a lot of
information here, printed and oral, about
Oregon and the 1905 fair, distributed a
lot of pamphlets and was interviewed by
reporters of three of the leading newe-j
papers. At Denver, also, I talked with
a good many peopte. Denver impressed
me as a fine, big, hustling city; but I
didn't see much of it, as I spent only
three or four hours there. The train ont
from here was heavily loaded and I met
an interesting lot of people, mostly from
Ohio, Illinois and Michigan. . They
thought me very enthusiastic over Ore
gon and the Fair, but dozens of them .
promised to visit Portland next Sum
mer. And so on, through Hastings,
Nebraska, where I visited some relatives
and broke into two of the newspapers,
through Ottumwa and Elden in Iowa to
Fairfield on the Hock Island road, where
I made final connection for St. Louis,
arriving here at 3:20 yesterday after,
noon.
Oh, what crowds of people are hurry
ing and scurrying around in this city, I
have been through the Exposition
grounds, and it is truly a colossal affair
and I think somewhat in the nature of a
white elephant. There is nothing com
pleted as y-t in the preparations for the
Exposition, save the system for taking
care of the visitors' money, which seems
to be a very elaborate and well greased
machine.
I will tell you more about the Fair in
my next, when I have bad time to ex
amine things somewhat. But it will
take till July to get tbe buildings and
grounds finished and in proper shape.
Many will come here early and, because
of the present conditions, go home dis
gusted, and after that the weather will
be so hot there will be but little enjoy
ment. Those who came in September
will have much the best of it. As to the
robbery of high prices, about which we '
have read in the newspapers, I find that
it only affects the tenderfoot aud the man
who has so much money that he don't
care what he pays. Home people don't
know how to take care of themselves un-
z der such conditions as are met with here
at this time, and these the vultnres get.
This is bow we happen to hear of rooms
costing from seven to ten dollms per day.
The easy marks should go west for a
