(Special

POKTUAND, ' Mar 14.
Correspondence) There Is
saying the' fact that feeling of dissat
isfaction pervades Republican circles,
over the organization of the State Cen
tral. Committee. This was evident
from 'the start, but as time goes on
and a little leaks here and there a
ieilow doesn t have to carry an ear
trumpet to find out that some of the
brethren are sore and sour to the mid
dle.
In the first place Mr. Westgate tun
bled all over himself to get into the
Bourne camp. He got there and not
only that, but he landed the whole or
ganization within the Bourne fold,
Bourne was consulted about every
thing and in order to make the pro
cess of consultation more convenient
the State Committee's headquarters
were opened on the same floor and
adjoining thosev occupied by Jonathan
Bourne and his attachment of paid
politicians.
This locally, at least, for no one else
scarcely knows anything about it,
caused considerable comment. An
other cause for alarm and of which
Veterinarian Withycombe and his
friends look upon with all kinds of
distrust, is the appointment by West
gate of Colonel Scuyler Colfax Spen
cef' as secretary of the State Commit
tee. This is especially distasteful to
the followers of Withycombe, for the
reason that Spencer Is a Simon man
of the dyed-in-the-wool stripe and all
through the campaign supported Tall
Timothy Geer with a vim that was
more than political. The appointment
of Spencer 'occasioned no little 'sur
prise and much dissatisfied comment
on the part of '.Wltyeombe'8 cam
paign booster. 1 -. '
'Don't you think' for a minute that
the old factional fight Is dead," re
marked a Simon booster, the other
day, after he had recounted the rebuff
that was given the anti-Mathews peo
ple in the organization of the commit
tee. Strange as it may seem, after
tried. The doctor may promise re
forms, but these will fall upon the
ears of people who know that the
present Governor has made good In
the line of conservative and decent
reform. . ' - t -to -.;
The record of the old school land

And nothi. thing not1 forgotten Is

legislature that if It attempted to vote
war large sums of money with an
emergency clause attached, thus pre
venting the people from exercising
the right of the referendum he would
veto the bill. The bill voted by the
legislature, which was machine-dom
lnated from Matthews Speaker to
Matthews' President . In the Senate
was a wasteful measure, but it was
held up, as It of right should, by the
referendum. All that prevented the
legislature from fostering the whole
gigantic graft on the people was the
fact that Oregon had a governor who

all the harmony talk we've had, this
is a feeling that still exists.
Dr. Withycombe started his cam
paign boomlet this week. It was a
rather tame affair, notwithstanding all
that was said to the contrary. The
doctor makes a good impression for
he is a nice fellow, but he has fail
fed to give out the idea that he is
gubernatorial timber. He is a pleas
ant kind of man, but hasn't been gift
ed by Nature with an overabundance
of force ,
Dr. Withycombe is carrying on his
had the Interests of the State enough
at heart and had the nerve to stand
his ground and say to the legislature
that he would veto the bill, if it didn't
give the people a chance.
Governor Chamberlain's' part in
holding down the lid on the last legis
lature has converted many a fair-minded
man to the policy of having a Gov
ernor of a different political faith
than the legislature. It is a foregone
conclusion that had Oregon had a
machine ruled Governor in the execu
tive office, of the stripe the machine
makes it a point to put in office, not
one measure of vicious legislation
would have been curbed.
Here's a bit of political philosophy
that you won't find in the Republican
campaign book:
A Democratic Governor is to a
Republican Legislature what the Gov
ernors are to a steam engine it keeps
it from running too fast."
There is every likelihood that Sena
tor Gearin will be able to return to
Oregon in time to take the stump. If
he does there will be things doing in
the Senatorial race. Senator Gearin.
if he takes the stump, will show the
people an orator of dignity, force and
eloquence.
A marked contrast to Jonathan
Bourne. , Right here it might be' a
good thing to remark that a man who
can impress the Senate with his force
and bearing and his eloquence, if nec
essary, is something this state needs
in Washington.
Mr. Hawley has opened his cam
paign for Congress in the First Dis
trict. He was a little late in getting
out, for Charles V. Galloway, the Dem
ocratic candidate had been there
ahead of him and according to all
reports is making a lot of fine speeches
and a like impression.
Governor Chamberlain, Treasurer J.
D. Matlock, and Attorney General
Robert A. Miller, held meetings in
Baker, Union and Grant counties the
last week and met with enthusiastic
audiences.
Their Republican opponents are in
the Willamette Valley and will go to
Eastern Oregon next week.

Reconstruction Is
Concerned.
Dr. W. H. Carll, of this city, cantata
and surgeon of the First Battery of
Aaiuery, Oregon National Guard,' who
returned home Monday from San Fran
cisco, says that one of the most notic
able things is the fact that property
values have not decreased a penny
since the earthquake and fire. Prop
erty in the business district that was
devasted by the fire is worth just as
much today as it was before the cat
"I did not see a 'for sale' sign while
was in San Francisco." said Dr.
Carll. "Everybody who owns prop
erty in San Francisco is gathering
funds and resources and getting ready
to rebuild better and stronger build
ings. The fire has demonstrated ab
solutely that steel structures are the
buildings to use, because they held to
gether and stood up under the shock,
and flames. Although the Palace Ho
tel was terribly burned, the walls are
standing and the partitions are in good
condition, while buildings of cheap
structure, the city hall for example,
were shaken to pieces. The United
States mint, postoffice and custom
house got through in good shape.
"11 everything goes ahead as it
promises to in San Francisco, there
will be a great deal of work there for
several years. The lookout, so far
as building Is concerned, la very
bright. All over the business section
there are one and two-story wooden
buildings springing up, which makes
the city look like the days of '49, and
probably for several months these con
ditions will prevail.
Some of the' car lines are running
on streets where the rubbish has been
cleared off. The Southern Pacific
company which has been doing splen
did work in various ways, has laid
temporary tracks on many of the
streets, and is running trains into the
heart of the city to carry away the
millions of tons of debris, which must

The meeting at Sandy had not been
advertised at all, owing to a failure
to get the posters out in time, and no

Three meetings were held Saturday.
In the morning at Missouri Ridge,
and in the afternoon In Russelville

places are 'in Soda Springs precinct,
and at the two meetings fully three-
fourths of the voters of the precinct
were out.

George Spencer has just clos-

on the Molalla road and was in
the city last Saturday making
final arrangements. Mr. Spen-
cer secured the place from J.

new owner came here three
weeks ago from Minnesota,
and has extensive plans for the
improvement of the Springs.
It is probably that a Fourth of

there. Wright's Springs is
well known and has been a pop-

Distribution of the reward offered

the division, stating that the money
was not a part of his objection, but
he thought he was entitled to dne
credit as the first man to leave Canby
in pursuit of the triple murderer.
Dixon says that J. K. Graham, of Can

brush whenever he emerged. Their
names are E. W. Hutchinson, foreman,
F. Cantrib, O. Cantrib, Fred Crapo, G.
F. Wundelich and A. A. Barrett. One
of the crew was here Friday and said
that any one of these stones would
have killed the outlaw," had they suc

Mr. Fay and D. Frost, of this city,
were also with the posse, and they
protest against the distribution as ar
ranged. Practically all of the remons
trators say that It Is not the money
they ask for, but the recognition due
them.
The authorities who portioned the
reward acted upon the Information
that was obtainable, and endeavored
to be fair. Many of the men who re

over to the widows of the murdered
men, who met death at the hands of
the outlaw in the discharge of their
duty.
DERTHICK CLUB AT PORTLAND.
Sweeping changes have been mate
by the postal department in rural
routes running out from Oregon City
to points in Clackamas County, and
Postmaster Tom P. Randall received
Instructions concerning these chang
es Friday. Routes 2, 3, 4, and 5 have
been changed and additions made to
each of them. The most significant In
the alterations ordered is that of
Route No. 5, and while no definite or
der has reached this city, it is believ
ed that the department proposes to
abolish the postoffice at Willamette,
and serve the people of that section by
rural carrier from Oregon City. The,
total length of the route was 25
miles, but 2 miles have been added.
The route is extended one-half mile
