BROWNELL -HOFER SENATORIAL AND CONGRESSIONAL ASPIRANTS AT CAN BY. Small Audience Heart Two Set Political AddressesWhat Took Place. At a picnic that hud been advertised a a fraternal gathering, Senator Brswn ell, of thl city, anil Col. R. Hofer, editor of the Bali-rn Journal and a candidate for the Iti-publlcan nomination to Con gress from the First Congressional Dis trict, at Canby last Saturday made two act political speeches. Notwithstanding the reports that ap peared In the Portland papers to the contrary, the attendance wu decidedly limited and the enthusiastic applause that wan commented upon was such an could be expected from an audience of leaa than 100 persons of whom 80 per cent were women and children. It I true that frsternallsm took a back eieat while Brownell recited a number Of reasons why ho should be re-elected to the state I annate from thla county at the election to be held In June. No one stated any . particular ' objections and Brownell thought It a good time to announce that "when I am re-elected Btate Senator, then I will become a condldate for the United States Senate." This declaration sculls and barges will be scheduled to appear. Especial attention has been paid to having something characteristic of the historical Interest which Is clustered about the city by the sea. Under the auspices of the Redmen a number of func tions will be offered which will display the aborigine among his proper environs. He will be ruled by Princess Sacajawea, and Lewis and Clark will form an In teresting supplement to the contingent of Indians. Councils of war, pow-wows and war dances will be held. Besides many attractions will be of fered such as markmanshlp contests, tugs of war, log-rolling tests, hose races, and others too numerous to mention. All railways have made special rates to'Astoria for the Regatta and It la ex pected that thousands will attend. The event thla year should receive unusual patronage owing to the fact that there are many strangers In Portland In at tendance at the Exposition. L. L. PORTER, ATTORNEY AT LAW.

Hofer, while ostensibly supporting: Wal ter L, Toore. of Woodburn, for Congress, but Is at the same time constructing; fences that will cause the Marlon county commission dealer all kinds of trouble In displacing;, made a typical reform talk that was calculated to win his auditors to a most cordial support of himself when he gets ready to take off his coat and openly labor to secure the nomina tion by the direct primary route that he has so vigorously opposed. The meeting; was first called to order about 11 o'clock In the forenoon but "those present" were hardly numerous enough to warrant proceeding "accord ing; to progTam" and adjournment was tnken until 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon. At that time, II. C. Gllmore, mayor of the thriving; city of Canby, called the meeting; to order as chairman of the day and Introduced Colonel Hofer as the "next Congressman from the First Con gressional district." The Salem editor politician modestly explained his posi tion In relation to the Congressional sit uation, and then waded Into politics, not exempting a criticism of the Oregon legislature, of which he was at one time a member. Colonel Hofer discussed the Legisla ture, saying the limit of appropriations had been so far exceeded by the last one that the people had resorted to the ref erendum as the only available club, and had struck It a telling blow. Dealing with Btate Treasury reform, he said that two changes should be made; aa the Treasurer had been placed on a flat sal ary. Interest on all state funds loaned to the bonks should go Into the state reve nues. Also that the State Executive Council should have authority to trans fer funds so that the state would not be paying interest against one fund when there might be a million of idle money In the trensury. These two reforms would save the state, he said, from 120, 000 to 130,008 annually. Statistics were also offered by Colonel Hofer showing that Oregon had treated the railroads very liberally, and had tax ed them very lightly, and In return the Willamette Valley League was asking generous treatment of Oregon at the hands of the Harriman system. If the system kept Its promises already made In the way of proposed construction of new lines, about a thousand miles would be added to the mileage In the state. The speaker asserted that the railroad corpor ations are discriminating against Oregon In that more la being done by them to- j wards the development of Washington, ; Idaho, and California. I Following his introduction. Senator ; Brownell gave a short dissertation on , character, emphasizing the need of more men and women "who believe things and have the moral courage to say what they believe." The Senator then appropriated to him self the credit for having conceived the direct primary law, denouncing the pres ent political system as faulty, even ad mitting that while he was In control of the politics of Clackamas county he knew the system was wrong, although he de clared he did the best he could; raised his voice against the proposed state con vention, denounced as unfair to Portland people the deal by which a half dozen of the richest men of Portland, Including Mills, Ladd et al., had disposed of to Eastern capltnl valuable franchises and other property that had been acquired from the city without cost; explained why he voted against the appropriation for the Lewis and Clark Fair, eulogized the martyred Lincoln, and then announc ed that he would be a candidate next June to succeed himself as Senator from Clackamas County, and that subsequent ly he would become a candidate for the United States Senate.

Poitotnce Authorities At Washington Ars Opposed to Losing Box Rentals Citizens Will Resist. The postofflce department at Washing ton has denied the application of the peo ple of this city for the establishment of a free delivery of mail service within the city. Postmaster T. . P. Randall recently made application for this service on the showing that the receipts of the Oregon City office for the year ending June 30th, last, were over $10,000. In denying the application, the authorities at Washing ton give as a reason that the starting of a free delivery mall service In this city would largely dispense with the rent al of boxes at the postofflce which amounts to' about 11100 annually, which would reduce the receipts of the office to sum less than the required $10,000 per annum. It Is provided In the postal laws that when the population of a city reaches. 10,000 or the gross receipts of an office exceed $10,000 per annum, the department "may" establish a free mail delivery service. Believing that this city is entitled to this service the people of Oregon City will have the application indorsed by the Board of Trade when the sen-Ices of Senator Fulton will be enlisted In hopes that a free delivery may yet be obtained.

Flax Industry Receives Another Discour aging Blow. SALEM. Or., Aug. 21. Pursued by a relentless enemy, Eugene Bosse, the flax expert, tonight suffered his third loss by Are, when his mill and 300 tons of flax were burned. There is no clew to the perpetrator of the crime. Mr. Bosse Is away from the city and the exact amount of the loss cannot be ascertained, but It Is estimated at not less than til, 000 with probably no Insurance. The destruction of the mill will seriously delay If not terminate for the time the development of the flax Industry In Oregon. The Are tonight occurred on the Savage farm, east of town, which Mr. Bosse had rented. An immense barn had recently been remodeled at considerable expense and prepared for receiving flax machin ery. Approximately 100 tons of flax fi ber brought here from Sclo was stored In this building, awaiting the arrival of machinery to manufacture it Into crash. This fiber was of the crop of 194. About 100 feet from the building stood three stacks of flax of the crop of 1905, aggre gating 200 tons. Total 20,877 GENERAL SUMMARY. Subscribe to the Enterprise, best local paper In Willamette Valley. Light showers occurred during the fore part ef the week In the lower part of the Wilamette valley and In the northern coast counties. Elsewhere throughout the State dry weather prevailed. The temperatures in western Oregon averaged about normal, while the weather east of the Cascades was slightly cooler than usual, especially at night The rain somewhat revived vegetation, but as a whole the amounts were to small to do much good, and gardens, com, potatoes and pastures are suffering for want of moisture. Grain Is about all cut and In the stack. Threshing continues In all sections. The yields in the Willamette valley continue disappointing, but In the Columbia and Grand Ronde valleys the returns are very gratifying. Hops are making seasonal progress, and where spraying was thor oughly done the Uce have about disap peared. Corn Is earing and filling nicely and a good crop is Indicated. Stock con tinues to lose flesh. Plums and some varieties of prunes are ripe and being gathered. The yield of most fruits will fall below the average, both In quantity and size. Peaches are plentiful and of good flavor. A blessing alike to young and old; Dr. Fowlers' Extract of Wild Strawberry. Nature's specific for dysentary, diarrhoea and Bummer complaint.
