PORTER, DYE, JAGGAR AND CART ER SPEAK. Browned Continues Canvass of County Having No Argument, He Employs Abuse. It has been years since the voters of . Clackamas county evinced the interest they are showing in the political cam oalen that is bow being waged. This interest is apparent from the large number of candidates there are for the different nominations witnm the gift of the electors and also the large number of people who attend all of the meetings of a political character that are being conducted throughout tiie county. There exist3 an interest among the voters that has been miss ing largely in preceding campaigns. . But this year under the primary nomi nating system, the people constitute the initiative force and they are pre paring for an intelligent performance of that service by attending these meetings and ' hearing discussed the various Issues on which the rival can didates for nomination are asking their suffrages. Registration is Good. A further evidence of interest in the situation, is shown in the registration of voters of the county which on Sat urday evening last aggregated 3129 With a total vote of about 4500, it is estimated-that all of the voters of the countv will have registered before Adi-U 10. the date on which the regis traJdon books will be closed for the primary election. .Fighting His Own Fight.

Porter, candidate for State Senator, yesterday. Some exception was taken by leg islative candidates, who arc seekiog renomlnation on the Republican ticket, to the headlines that appeared in las week's issue of the Enterprise an nouncine "Clackama3 Voters Want New Deal." These gentlemen consid ered that this was a personal reflec tion on themselves. But in this con nection Mr. Porter desires that it be understood that the headlines had ap plication to the Senatorial situation. - Mr. Porter is satisfied to devote all of his time to managing his own can didacy and to carry the same to succesful 'Issue, he desires the sup port of all voters who staud for clean er politics than the people . of this county have been served for several years past. Mr. Porter is gratified with the assurance of loyal suport he Is (receiving from all section ' of the county. There is a strong sentiment among the voters that demands change and . the divorcement of cop poraton agents from further alleged service in- a legislative capacity. More Successful Meetings. Last Saturday, Mr. Porter, acf om panied by C. H. Dye and E. P. Carter, candidates for nomination on the Re publican -Representative ticket, held successful meetings at Molalla and Mullno. At the Mulino meeting. Prank Jaggar, who is seeking renomination as Representative, was ' present and also addressed the voters. Dr. J. J. Leavitt -was chairman of the Molalla meeting which as ad dressed by Mr. Porter, also Sir Dye and Mr. Carter. The Interest of the auditors was good and they were right with the speakers. C. T. Howard, the veteran millman at Mullno presided at ' the meeting that was held at that place Saturday evening. There, as well as at Molalla, the speakers found an appreciative audience. Particular attention was paid by the speakers to a discussion of corporations and the undue in fluences they are exercising in matters of legislation, particularly as demon strated in Clackamas county. Miss Spangler accompanied the speakers from this city and delighted the two audiences by singing several selections of popular music. ' Brownell Meeting. Senator Brownell, escorted by the Milwaukie Band and other candidates for nomination on the Republican tick et, went to Estacada last Thursday afternoon and addressed an audience in the auditorium. As was the case at Milwaukie the preceding Saturday night, the Senator devoted practically all of his time to an abuse of his op ponent, Mr. Porter, the Oregon City newspapers and their publishers and then sought to explain how he happen ed to be Indicted by the Federal grand Jury. In this connection he" re lated the same tearful tale that was pleaded at Milwaukie. j The legitimate expenses In conneo- j tion with his Estacada meeting alone amounted to more than his salary for the entire forty days of a legislative session at Salem. But, of course, the Senator makes this pecuinary sacri fice in the interest of the '"dear people"! It would be criminal even to so much as intimate that any por tion of the expenses of these meetings is paid by any one of the corporations with which the Senator has relations, although it is known that the Senator furnished the management of the Band a trip pass from Milwaukie to Estacada and return over the O. W. P. company's line for the seventeen mem bers of that organization. Of course. Senator Brownell is not the agent, tool, attorney or servant of corporate interests! If he were, it had been impossible for him to obtain this trip pass for the band ' as well as other transportation that he so freely distributes! Of course, these several corporations get nothing in return for these contributions! It has been stated, and the source of the information is absolutely reli able, that more transportation is is sued by the Southern Pacific and O. R. & N. companies, on the application of Senator Brownell, than upon the re quest of any other person not officially connected with those corporations. MR.

Money ts l Oregonians Watch the Therrnometer Hover About Freezing Point. i Even the "oldest inhabitant'" does not recall a more abrupt Change in weather conditions than was experi enced last Saturday and in fact the unseasonable weather has continued with uninviting persistence since. A more ideal June day than was last Fri day is rarely experienced in the Wil- lamettA Vallev hut a most decided change resulted during the following forenoon when the thermometer drop ped sufficiently to register freezing weather and since that time the mer cury has abided quite regularly at that station to the discomfiture of. the Inexperienced Oregonian. But the damage to vegetation that has resulted thus far has been confin- I ed largely to several varieties of early j fruit much of which had blossomed j although it is admitted that if the un- length of . time, fall grain will be in jured greatly. Garden vegetables have also been nipped by the frigid nor' easter, but so far as reports have been received, the apple crop has not been damaged yet. With an abundant yield of hay and other feed harvested last season, Clackamas county farmers are exceptionally well prepared for, severe weather conditions, and, with ample sheltering quarters, which stockmen have provided generally for their dairy and beef herds, in anticipation of such a contingency, cattle will -not suffer even from a protracted period of this unstasonable weather. ; .

Mr. Bourne has been more prominently identified with the develop ment of the mineral resources of Oregon than any other man in the state having expended in the last 20 years over ? 1,000,000 of his own money in the acquisition and development of Oregon mines, '' ' While Mr. Bourne has had his residence and main office at Portland since 1878, he has bad another office at New Bedford, Mass., and has carried on the business of his father's estate since 1889, which makes him familiar with many of the large interests and leading. men in the East. These quali fications, in conjunction with his tremendous energy, originality, executive ability and experience In business and political affairs pre-eminently qualify him for making an able and influential Senator for the State of Oregon. Mr. Bourne has always favored extending the direct power of the peopl over their government as far as possible. ,He was one of the leading spirits in the initiative, and Referendum movement from 1896 until it was approved by the voters at the June election in 1902. In 1904 he was a member of the executive committee of the Direct Primary Nominations League, and holds the same position with 4he People's Power League at this time. In all these movements he has been one of the few to guarantee the necessary expenses of preparing and proposing their measures to the people. ' He says that the choice of United States Senator should be by direct vote of the people, and that the Legislature should be compelled to elect the man the people select. To accomplish this result, is championing Statement No. 1 of the primary elections las as the only method by which public opinion may be crystal ized and made effective upotv the Legislature. In his petition for nomination, he says: . "If I am nominated and elected I will, during my term of office. Favor: Republican Politics.

Paragraphs have been appearing In the state papers relative to fthe oldest officers who administered the - civil laws in Oregon in territorial days. Cottage Grove is able to do something along that-line. L. L.. Whitcomb, whose postofflce address is Cottage Grove, is mentioned as the oldest assesor now living In the state. He was elected assessor of Washington county at the June election in 1854 and assessed the county that year. , That., was . before Multnomah county was formed. Hills- boro was the county ' seat, where all county business was transacted. In 1858 Mr. Whitcomb was elected com missioner for Washington county. After serving his term he moved to Yamhill county, where In 1864 he was elected sheriff, serving two full terms. It Is believed until further returns are received, that he is the oldest living ex-sheriff. Cottage Grove Western Oregonian. '- Clackamas can beat that record by at least " two years. Hon. W. P. Burns, now residing at Portland, father of Chief of Police Burns, of this city, was elected sheriff of Clackamas county in 1862, two years prior to the time Mr. Whitcomb was elected to the same office in Washington county. Mr. Whitcomb may be the oldest living assessor in the state but Clackamas believes it is right in claiming that Mr. Burns is the oldest living sheriff. Mr. Burns was re-elected to succeed him self .both in 1864 and 1866. He is now living in Portland and is 83 years of age.

Other than agreeing to suport ttus choice of the people for Senator, Mr. Dye stands for the "subjection of pri vate banks to public Inspection anS control, placing purely local matter under local control, limiting special franchises to 25 years, unification of the state school system and cuttixQS down the number of normal" schooBi to meet the demands of the people, hoi to exceed two such schools ; abolition of railroad passes, taxation of corpcr- ate property, Including franchises, mt its market value, the same as that df individuals; the elimination of graS and amending of the law with refer ence of turning of public fees into JTB public treasury."
