Not Afler Office. At this season of the year when the apple trees aie blooming and doves are cooing and wheat is spiouting and the air is thick with politics and oione it ib not, perhaps, very strange that baseless I political rumors should be spawned upon the public. One of the most ro ! bust of these rumor pertains to Geo. C. for circuit jU(lse jt wag tsAerteu by some that the district attorneyship was a fat plum and that Mr. Brownell wasafter it. An F.Nri!EPHisi reporter asked Mr. 1 Urownell about this matter and got a i very decisive answer. "The man who intimated that I wanted I to 'oe district attorney was destitute of political sense" said Mr. Brownell. "In the first place Clackamas county could not get both the attorneyship and the judgeship. Then 1 prepared and offered the resolution that was adopted in our county convention instructing the dele ! gates to the state convention to vote first, 1 last and all ihe time for Hon. Thos. Mc I Bride for circuit judge. I am not now ! and do not expect to be a candidate for j office. I would not take the district I attorneyship if it was offered to me and a certificate of election with it. There is something else to do in this world than running for office. Although a few cheap, peanut politicians haven't tumbled to it, it's a fact just th same." April Precipitation. The record of rainfall for a series of years shows that the average for the month of April is Ie- than an iaAx of ruin in the eastern half of Washington botween the Cascades and the eastern tier of counties. West of the Cascades the rains range from two to over four inches, increasing gradually near the coast Oregon has a dry spot that has less than an inch of rain during April, and that covers Harney and Malheur counties in the southeastern part of the state. Excepting this belt the section of Oregon east of the Cascades has an average precipitation of from one to two inches, except about six inches on the t (. Coui,tv. and a like amount along the Cascades in the northern por tion of the state. The people's p:rty n jininee for judge of this circuit is II B. Luce who was named after J. C. Archbnld of Hillttboro had declined. W. H. Walker is tor 'district attorney. The congressional nominee for this district is M. V. Uork of Marion county. E. C. Hamilton of Clackamas is named for the representa tive of this district on the slate equaliza tion board . The following persons stand I for presidential electors: N. Pierce, W.H. Galvani, W. G.

OVER THE FALLS. mo MEN t'AUIUKI) DOWN (mu AIT TO DEATH, THE Ther FmII to Appelate tho I'.iiw the Current mill an- Hurled In De struction In a Moment. Two men, employes of the Willamette Falls Fleetrie company, were swept over the falls shortly after noon Wednesday, They were Thomas Seollard and Frank Perkins. The boat and oars and I'erkins' hat issued front the foaming vortex at the foot of the fall and werv taken ashore some distance Mow the cataract but no sign of the drowned men baa yet up- pea rod Thomas Seollard was a married man about thirty-five vears of age. Ho bad live I in this city Mweon two and three years having recently built a collage on ThirdstreetnearW.il. Howell's He leaves a wife. Ftank Perkins was twenty-four years of ago and unmarried. He came to Oregon from Massachusetts alniut eleven months ago and since last November lie has Iven employed at the electric light station in this city. His mother and sister, and an uncle, James Barry, live in Portland. He was an lM,l Fellow. Both were engaged in wiping ami caring for the machinerv in the electric light station. It was I AO when the steamer K. I wood came down the basin to the flouring mill. The electric light people have a boom across the basin from the east shore to the power house, (which u located on Ahernothv island) on which the men walk in passing between the power bouse and t tie shore. Kvery time a boat enters the basin one end of the boom has to le unlashed so it can swing around and leave a free channel tor navigation. Imme diately below the power house ia a waterfall of nearly forty feet, the water plunging into a bowl eighteen feet deeper where the water wheel in the old flour ing mill used to be. Seollard and Per kins took a boat and unlashed the end of the boom at the power house as they bad often done before. They were swinging around with it toward Ihe east shore, which action brought their skiff within atKMit thirty feet of the tall. But the water had raised nearly eighteen inches during the past few days and the current was so strong that in spite of the fact that Scultard had a f. fin hold of the roie attached to the doom and Per kins labored at the oars they wete swept over the cataract in a 'winkling and nothing more seen of them. Several men have been since engaged in drag ging the river for Ihe bodies but have not found them. The force of the current at that par ticular part of the falls is terrific. It is imHjssible for a man merely to hold on to a roe that mav lie dropped in the current there; in spite of his best effort it will be jerked through his hands like a flash. There was occasion last w inter to stretch an inch rope across at the top of the fall, when the current caught it and instantly parted it asunder. The men who were lost did not correctly cal culate the increased force of the current by reason of the rise in the river and this miscalculation c "t them their lives. An enterpriing San Francisco com mission merchant has sent out broadcast to the papers anil dealers in produce of Oregon the following opinion concerning our products in that market "The do ings of the Oregon slate convention will be watched with a great ileal of interest bv the people of the Pacific coast, but at the present moment more interest cen ters in the manifests of Oregon steamers than in the platforms of Oregon con ventions.

Incidentally the city ollli-en were inil shut ply scored for the apparent laxity in the execution of the laws. Mayor Sullivan presided at I he meeting and Captain Shaw was secretary. The hall was crowded. A score or more of speeches were made and the utmost indignation was maniiesled toward the offender whose action had incited the meeting as well as toward several of their companions in infamy. A roe was suggested and it would have been a mighty uasy matter to hae orgaulicd hanging Ihh on the spot.
