Well Workmen on the Improvement of Fifth street, which is being made by Contractor John Bittner, last week unearthed a lot of railroad ties that brought back the early days to pion l eer residents of this city. These ties were in an excellent state of preser vation, with drift bolts in each end. They were found a few inches below the surface of the street. These ties formed the bed of the first railway built in the state of Or egon, which was constructed about 1857 by the People's Transportation Company, in which David P. Thomp son, Captain Pease and other well known pioneers were interested. The railway was operated, from Canemah down Main street to Fifth, running thence to Water street and on to what is now the Graham dock at the foot of Eighth street. AH of the freight of the Willamette Valley was transported to Portland in this manner, being un loaded from boats at the Canemah wharf and placed on cars. This con dition existed until about 18G5, when the basin was constructed, after which time freight and passengers were docked at the basin wharf, and steam ers came to the lower dock of the O. R. & N. Co., and transferred them. In the days of 1857 there were no rails to be had in Oregon, and a piece of strap iron was laid on wooden rails. The motive power was mules, and fir ties were used. The line had one palssenger car which was a crude wooden affair. GALLOWAY IS SURE. Will Come to Clackamas For Week of Campaign. Final "Charles V. Galloway will carry Yamhill County by several hundred votes, and in no county' of the state will Hawley have such a plurality as Galloway will receive in old Yamhill. His plurality in Linn County will more than offset the vote that Hawley will get In Marion and he is going to be elected sure. The main fight is in Marion and Clackamas, and this is where Galloway is going to spend the final week of the campaign." This statement came from a promi nent Yamhill County Democrat, who was In the city last Friday. He Is just In from a tour of almost the en tire first congressional district, and says that the election of the Demo cratic nominee, for congress may be regarded as a certainty. Here in Clackamas a large number of Repub licans have openly stated that they are going to vote for Galloway, and this especially true of the younger itepUDiicans. The Democrats are 00 fldent that- the county will gp for Gal loway and they hope for a duplicate of the special -election of three' years ago, when' Reams turned the county over, carrying it against Hermann by more than 300 votes. In the recent primary election, Hawley received a few more than one-third of the Repub lican vote. Mr. Galloway will make several speeches In Clackamas during the fi nal wind-up. He will talk at Molalla, and will probably speak at Canby. Chairman J. J. Cooke, of the county central committee, is now arranging for a rally In this city before election day and Galloway jnay talk at that time. The date will probably be Sat urday evening, June 2. Democratic nominees for county of- 1 flees talked Thursday nip-hr t Mnoi. burg and Eagle Creek, and the former meeting was enthusiastic. The pros pects are brightening daily for the success of the democratic ticket In Clackamas. SELLWOOD WILL BRING SUIT. Milwaukie Man Wants Damages For Destruction of His Property. T. R. A. Sellwood, of Milwaukie, whose trees were destroyed by Horticultural Commissioner J. H. Reid, and Fruit Inspector A. J. Lewis, of Clackamas County, was in the city Friday afternoon and took steps to bring suit against Mr. Reid for dam ages for wilful destruction of property. Mr. Sellwood states that his or chard was partly sprayed and he had run out of solution, and that the trees POLITICAL TALK IN ELEVEN PRECINCTS. BY PARTY NOMINEES. J. E.

He therefore be lieves that discrimination was prac ticed and will exhaust every legal re source to recover damages for the In jury' done his property. The case will not necessarily test the validity of the law providing for compulsory spray ing, but will define the rights of an official and determine just how far he may go in the execution of his duty, Deputy District Attorney C. Schue- bel and County Fruit Inspector A. J. Lewis went to Milwaukie Friday to take steps to compel Sellwood to either spray his orchard or cut the trees down. The authorities say Mr. Sellwood neglected to spray his trees, and after repeated warnings, Inspec tor Lewis and Commissioner J. H. Reid, of the first district, went into Sellwood s orchard and cut down about 20 trees. TALKS ON NEW ZEALAND. Interesting Lecture By Spencer Clap- ham at Methodist Church Spencer Clapham lectured Friday night before a large audience in the Methodist Episcopal Church, taking for his topic the suffrage of New Zea land Starting from the very beginn ing, the speaker told of the settlement of the country by the British, who in stituted fuedal monopoly similar to that of the baronial days of England, and laborers - were classed as mere peasants. As the population Increas ed, the voice of the people arose and they threw off the yoke and obtained reforms, the government took a hand and abolished the system, and gave everyone an opportunity to acquire lands. Finally the ballot was given to women, and Mr. Clapham said that universal suffrage in his country had been successful in every particular. Mr. Clapham lectured under the auspices of the local women's suffrage committee.

Better Inves tigate the objects of these men Men do not spend JGO.OOO or $75,000 to become Senators for the good of me people or a party.

There Is no fair-minded man, it matters' not what his pro fession, if he has investigated, but wnat believes that these men are il legally held and that the cases are con spiracy on the part of the mineowners to break up the Miners' Union through the detective agencies. You may say, "Damn the Union; "It don't concern me!" Yes, it does. If the Union is broken up by the conspiracy, all oth ers will follow in the same way; not only unions but all. other organiza tions that oppose capitalism. It mat ters hot what they. are;;..

Some are good men, but really they don't know what the bad ones do this is a part of the agencies' secrets. This one In stance. Take the arrest' of Moyer and Haywood, In violation of all constitu tional law, the case of Rockerfeller In hiding from the courts of Missouri. Why don't the detectives get Rocke feller? No, they are where the most money is, guarding him with their clubs and It would be worth your life to get inside of his lnclosure. Take the first great strikes of the workingmen in the United States to the jumping of the miner's claim in Alaska. The work bears the earmark of the Detective Agency, work set on by capitalistic greed. Now, Mr. Work ingman, what are you going to do about it? Say, Mr. Farmer, don't think I don't mean you too. If you don't consider yourself a workingman, some one ought to have Geo. Q. Brownell and W. S. U'Ren come out and bore you for the. simples. The farmer and the wage earners' Interests should and must be Identical. Let us get our heads together and our heels on the other fellow and kick him off. I have made some broad assertions, which is my opinion and at this time cannot prove them and as such I de sire you to take evidence of the other side and see who is right. You may consider me 'a pessimist and a crank. If so, I desire that you retain this ar ticle in your household for ten years and then read it again. ' Now in conclusion let me ask what political party is fighting your battles today? Vote as you pray. . - W. W. MYERS. CHANGES IN PAPER MILL. W. P. Hawley Is Out and E. J. Daul ton Reinstated as Superintendent. There has been a general shakeup in the affairs of the Crown-Columbia Pulp & Paper Company, which has resulted in the displacement of Resi dent Manager W. P. Hawley, who has been connected with the company for the past 12 years. The man who Is directly responsible for the change is Mr. Hawley himself. ' .1 Twelve years ago the Crown Paper Company's mills in West Oregon City were In a bad condition. The owners were not making money, and in look ing about for a competent man to pull them out of the hole, hit upon Mr. Hawley, who was permitted to ac quire stock in the concern and was given the position of resident manag er,, with practically unlimited power, so far , as operation was concerned. Between Mr.,, Hawley and A Martin RoBenbaum, assistant secretary of the company, there was friction, "and four years ago Mr. Rosenbaum Dulled un stake and went into the wholesale grocery business In Seattle. This was hot to. his taste, however. and when the Crown Paper Company absorbed the Camas Paper mill, under the name of the Crown-Columbia Pulp & Paper Company; Mr. Rosenbaum was -placed In the office that was established In Portland, but Mr. Hawley remained In control. He is gifted with unusual business sagacity and by his efforts the company has developed until to day Mr. Hawley's stock has made him I a rich man, and has also enhanced the fortunes of the owners, chief of whom are S. D. Rosenbaum, president, and - . I Schwabacher, secretary and gener- west side of the river, who has been here for the past seven years, and who ls one of the foremost paper makers of tne Coast, was removed by Mr. Hawley, whose brother-in-law. Geo. Pusey, was given the position. This action was straightway communicat ed to the officers of the company at San Francisco, and Mr. Hawley was called there by wire for a meeting of the board of directors. His action was not approved, and a general dis cussion of the matter showed that Mr. Hawley, by reason of his diversi fied interests in other manufacturing concerns, was not possessed of the requisite amount of time necessary to manage the affairs of the northern plants, and his connection with the company was severed forthwith, though he still retains his valuable block of stock and remains a director of the company. Mr. Schwabacher and Mr. Rosenbaum came up from San Francisco Saturday and they were joined by Martin Rosenbaum, from Portland, and the result of their in spection was the re-instatement of Mr. Daulton as superintendent, with added authority to that which he, for merly possessed. ; Mr. Hawley's duties, so far as the hnatnoKa nf tht n.nmnnnv is rnnoern-1 ed will be undertaken by Martin Rosenbaum, but the manufacture of paper at the mill. here will be under the sole direction of Mr. Daulton, and the same condition will prevail at Camas, Washington, with Mr. Shea - nan as superintendent, uunng me past week Mr. Daulton has received two flattering offers from Eastern paper mills. Mr. Hawley has made several lucky investments in late years and is a wealthy man. He has acquired large holdings in a number of concerns and his time is almost entirely taken up in-looking after his properties. MOVEMENT FOR CONSOLIDATION Superintendent Zinser Talks to Peo- . pie Interested at stone. Superintendent of County Schools J. C. Zinser talked Friday evening on school consolidation at Baker's Bridge near Stone. People interested were there from Lower Logan, East Clack amas and Holcomb, and the superin tendent enlightened them on the ad vantages of consolidation. No definite action has yet been taken, but it Is probable that at the annual school meetings, July 18, something will be done In the various, districts inter ested. The district at Stone must have something in the way of better facilities, and there is a strong senti ment in that locality for the estab lishment of a central place for the higher branches. No territory ' for consolidation has yet been mapped out but it is believed that this can be sat isfactorily arranged. FR.EE DELIVERY ASSURD. : Postmaster Asks Council to Signs on Streets. Place Postmaster Tom P.

I TRAVELING - ON PASSES Republican State Candidates Going About in Small Way. FEW PEOPLE AT MEETINGS Jonathan Bourne Learns That Money Talks and Is Keep ing Out of Sight of the Voters. PORTLAND. May 21. (Special Cor respondence.) Not in many a moon has Oregon seen such a quiet campaign from the Republican standpoint. Al though It is scarce two weeks before the voters assemble to record their verdict in another election, the Re publican State Central Committee is doing nothing. The Chairman and Secretary sit on their haunches, write a few letters, arrange a few dates and that is all. Occasionally some one drops In, guesses at the result and goes out. Most of the candidates on the Re publican ticket are traveling around over the state on passes given them by the railroad companies, making some thing of a campaign in their own little way.- Dr. Wlthycombe, the candidate for Governor has put In a few days in Eastern Oregon. His reception is a frost, notwithstanding the glowing ac count printed for political effect about alleged "ovations." He is speaking to small crowds, and is putting in most of his time explaining why he lived in Oregon 17 years without taking out his naturalization papers and becoming a citizen. Jonathan Bourne is running an up hill race. His dilema is not better than Withycombe's. Both are up against the tightest squeeze that ever confronted a pair of candidates " in Oregon. To make matters worse Bourne can't take the stump and let the neople see and hear him, for he could no more make a speech than a cat can climb up its tall. Verily Jon athan would shine in the Senate! He writes piles of letters, just as he did before the primaries and is just now moving heaven and earth to explain hls actions during the legislative ses- sion of 1897.' Aside from this Jona than Bourne Jr., Is keeping at his headquarters, dictating the Republican campaign and spending tons of money and keeping out of sight. Jonathan has long since learned that money talks. Governor Chamberlain is taking the state by storm. His rallies in East ern Oregon have been large and en thusiastic. . The Governor makes friends wherever he goes. The farm ers like him for he has cut down state taxes. The workingman knows he Is his friend and the people are with him. Governor Chamberlain's record Is his platform and In his addresses to the people he is standing on this alone. The Governor will stand or fall on his record. . Thousands of Republicans are sup porting Governor Chamberlain. They are not disposed to lot a good man go, for one who has not been tried. Mr. Withycombe's career as an official has not proved him to be a man of execu tive ability. United States Senator John M. Gear In's chances of receiving the popular vote are increasing every day. Senator Gearln rates high at Wash ington. He Is popular with President Roosevelt and is standing with him in the fight for the railroad rate bill against Aldrlch, Allison and other plu tocratic Republican corporation hire lings in the Senate.-' Judge Thomas .Halley Is running strong for Supreme Judge. The people are In favor of a non-partisan bench and believe the time has come When the majority party should not Insist on dominating the highest court ba the state. Judge Halley Is an able man and makes a splendid impression.. W. C. Hawley has met his match In the person of Charles V. Galloway In the congressional fight In the First District. Rev. Hawley's campaign is a tame one. His audiences are small and unenthuslastlc. On the other hand Mr. Galloway la making a whirl- wind cam-oaten all over the district brain. Galloway's the man. Rev. Hawley is a fair school teacher and will firobably return to his class after election. ...... RYAN WANTS TO BE SHOWN. Says the County Debt Is Placed $15," . ' 000-too High. , - County Judge Ryan, who Is satis fied that the recent semi-annual state ment of the affairs of the county does not show the true situation, Thurs day afternoon made a sweeping order that will entail much work for the county clerk and treasurer. Judge Ryan says that the debt of the coun: ty is-not more than $26,000, whereas the semi-annual statement shows it to be $40,000. ' Accordingly the County Court has directed that a number of warrants issued between 1898 and 1904, that were not properly cancelled, thereby leaving an apparent indebtedness where none exists, be corrected and the true balance found. All warrants shown on the clerk's books Issued P"i u t0 AprI1 1897- 8naU be correct ed by the clerk on the order book as cancelled. . All warrants indorsed by the Treas urer and not paid for the want of funds prior to April 1. 1900. nhn h. corrected by him upon his book and the treasurer is instructed to make list, with the number of each warrant and the amount, endorsed by him be tween April 1, 1900 and April 1, 1905, !S2 uh " PWL ipon his hooks, and he shall also present a statement of the sum of the warrants endorsed May 1106 remaInlng nPId up to The clerk ia instructed to submit the number and amount of each war rant Issued by the county between April 1, 1897 and April 1, 1905 that are uncancelled upon his books, and make a statement showing the actual amount of warraBts Issued and un- ? , Jftw.pen Apr11 x 1905 anl May 1, 1906. BLAZE AT WOOLEN MILL. Interior of Bleacher Room Is Gutted By Fire and Water. Fire Frldav nieht ior of the bleachine room nf th gon City Manufacturing Company. The origin of the flames Is not known, but we muse was proDaoiy caused by the Ignition of sulphur that is used in bleaching. An alarm was tnrnori in at 7:15 o'clock and in less than a half hour the flames were entirely sub dued. The fire bell brought cronf nmi of people to the scene and the firemen did heroic work, .under the direction of Chief McFarland. They were aid ed by the private system of the Wool en miiis, which was effective in pre venting the blaze from spreading into Vie pullery room, in the btiildine- nrl. joining. Members of'the hook and lad der company ripped boards from the burning building, and smothered tha flames. 1 All of the outbuildings of the wool- en mills were destroyed by fire three years ago and the system since in stalled by the company, together with ' . VOTERS BEWARE1 During the last few days pre- ceding the election there will be circulated false statements concerning the character and ability of some of the Demo- cratic nominees. Remember, that no person who is responsl- ble, or who believes in fair play, will descend to such de- spicable politics and any such statements should be met by all decent men with the con- tempt they deserve. the good and prompt work of the fire men alone prevented a repetition of the disaster. .
