Roth Mr," Dlmlck and Mr. Jones promised In their ori ginal petitions to be governed by the action of tho voters In June on the Peoplo's Instruction amendment, but thoy have found that the great masa of the voters aro not familiar with this measure, and as thoy do not foci Justified In making an expensive cam nalgn of education, they have signed Statement No. 1, which does not dlf- f - " .. . , ' , . ; .V -f- , Y ' - J-.'

Mr. Dlmlck gave out tho following Interview la which Mr. Jones concurs: "Owing to the fact that so many people misunderstand the true In tent of tho bill to bo submitted at tho Juno election Instructing tho mem bers of the legislature to vote for the people's choice for United States Senator, which I have already pledged myself to abldo by, I have decided to withdraw that statement and sign tho orlicrnal Statement No. 1, lis It ap pears In tho direct primary law. I havo always advocated majority rule and lk election of Untied States Sen ators by tho people. I bollevo that both statements are Identlcol as far aa results are concerned, but the ex pense of making a campaign on the Instruction bill statement Is nut Jus tified, when the results obtained Id either case would be Identical."

The local association Is affiliated with tbo groc erymen of tho State and Is propos ed to send delegates to Hoston and from every town of Importanco In Oregon, with the primary object of In ducliiK the national convention to como to Tortland nTixt year. It Is considered that the presence of 1000 inurchauts from tho various sections of tho United States will be produc tive of Immense benefit to Portland aud tho Oregon country.

MR. DYE TAKES STATEMENT. J. W. Gray Will Run as Indlpendent Candidate for Superintendent. Tho local political sensation that developed Friday by Walter A. Dlm lck und Linn E. Jones making a change In their platforms by signing State ment No. 1 In place of the people's Instruction amendment, has been fur ther heightened by similar action on the part of Colonel Charles H. Dye, who was a member of the last legis lature. Mr. Dye takes the sumo posi tion as the other two candidates, that while -the amendment Is practically tho same as the Statement, the masa of the country voters do not under- atand 1t s such; and believe It to bo an evasion. , v Another political development of In terest Ib the announcement of the withdrawal of Joseph W. Gray from the race for the Republican nomlnt- tlon of County schoyl superintendent. Mr. Gray,' however. Is not out of.tho race, but will contest the flection of Mr. Gary 1n Juno by appearing on the general election ballot as au Inde pendent candlate. He states -that he is at a disadvantage In having only a few weeks to make the fight for the nomination and has no reasonable hope of beating Mr. Gary at the pri maries, and therefore he will antagon ize the regular Republican nominee. The Deonicrats do not expect to have a candidate for this office. ' Letter List. Letter list for week ending April Women's List Anderson, Mrs. iMnry (2); Clnte, Mrs. Iva; Thompson,,!

The body of an unknown man, which waB found In the woods on the old Latourette place near Newell Creek, more than a -week ago, evident ly met death from suicide. This is clearly established Tuesday when Mr. Darling, of Maple Lane, and a companion, searched the spot where the remains were found, and saw a piece of glass shining in the sun. They dug Into the earth a few Inches and were rewarded by finding a bot tle containing morphine. Two-thirds of the contents had been consumed. The bottle was placed in the hands of Coroner Holman, who took the mor phine to a druggist for analysis. Mr. Darling raked the ground thorough ly for further evidence but found nothing. It Is apparent that the man determined to die and went to the lonely spot and took his own life. There Is nothing to determine his Identity, and Coroner Holman has kept the remains in the morgue, where several people have come from a distance to look at them. SCHUEBEL ARGUES FOR COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL FARMERS WOULD PAY ONE-THIRD OF TAXES ON BASIS OF 75 . CENTS ON $1000 VAL- UATION. Arguments for and against the es tablishment of a county high school were heard Saturday night In the Shubel school bouse, and the build ing was crowded with people to hear local speakers and Attorney C. Schue bel, of this city, who made a talk in favor of higher education. He show ed that of 87C5 children of school age in Clackamas County, 2915 of them lived In Oregon City and vicinity, and that territory paid two-thirds of the taxes of the county, while the prop erty represented by 5850 children paid one-third. He said that a county high school would mean a tax of 75 cents on every $1000 valuation, and the farmers would pay one-third while the town and corporate . interests would pay two-thirds. Last year 2S7 child ren took the eighth tra je examina tions, 143 in the country and S5 in the district in and around Oregon City. There are five county hiRh schools In Oregon, but no consolidated district high schools. Mr. and Mrs. "Miller, Robert GInther, G. A. Schuebol, A. Thomas, Mr. Hans-jn, Mr. Schmidt and others talked agnmst the proposition. on the. ground that taxes would be higher and it was also argued that a consolidated high school would be better than a coMtit high scho d. for the home Influences that would pre vail.

Sentenced to Reform School, but Pa roled on Good Behavior. Will and Rob King. Herman Miller and Sam Phillips, of Gladstone,- were hailed before the Juvenile Court Tues day. In a complaint brought by Pro bation Officer E. H. Cooper, they are charged with being Incorrigible boys, their ages ranging from 14 to 1&. It Is stated that they went to a store In Gladstone and stole bottles of soda water", but they were spotted by the proprietor and made to rav for It. Wholesale chicken thieving was the next escapade on the part of the quartette, and they had an arrange ment with a hook and sack and It Is very-evident, that they nanaged to get away with a large number of choice fowls. W.R. U'Ren and Mer- ton Bell were, among the residents who missed chickens and they found that the boys were selling the birds ;o local butchers Mr. Bell went to he butcher shop of H. W.

OPERATIVE NEXT FALL Concern Will Have First Paper Ma chine In World for Formation of Perfect 8heet of Pa per at Any 8peed. Developments in the construction of the new plant of the Hawley Pulp & Paper Company will progress rap Idly from the present time until late next Pall, when It is expected that the plant will be complete and in op eration. Mr. Hawley returned last week from the East .where he went to purchase machinery for his mill and he speaks in glowing terms of the prospects for the future. The machin ery baa been promised for June deliv ery and no time will be lost in put ting it in place after ita arrival at Oregon City, where it will be erect ed at the basin on the East side of Willamette Falls. Workmen are now busy remodeling the old Station A, which will be util ized for a pulp mill, with a full equip ment for a pulp and saw mill. The same water wheels that were used for the former station of the Portland General Electric Company and later for the pulp station of the Willam ette Pulp & Paper Company will be made use of, and the pulp mill will have a capacity of 24 tons daily. Logs from up river points will be dropped Into the basin and sawed at this saw mill, and with a sawmill at the sta tion and another at Mllwaukle, Mr. Hawley will be able to supply hla mill with pulp material from both ends of the line. He states that his Mllwaukle mill will give bim a great advantage in preparing wood for the grinders away from the pulp mill, ag all of the dirt incidental to a sawmill will be left there and he will be able to manufacture clean paper without difficulty. He has an immense sup ply of timber on the lower Columbia and by bringing It to the Mllwaukle mill, he is able to save 20 cents per thousand feet In the cost of towage alone. Mr. Hawley worked out his prelim inary plans carefully before launch ing his new project He secured a carload rate of 50 cents per thou sand over the Oregon Water Power 4 ailway lines, from Mllwaukle to Ore gon City, and spurs will be run from the main line into h!3 sawmill and the blocks will be thrown from the cars at the sulphide mill directly into the choppers. All of the machinery in the mills of the Portland Flouring Mills Company has been removed and the building will be turned over to the new com pany in a few days. The main build ing on the west side of the street will hold the beating engines and the second floor will be the finishing' room. In the old grain warehouse on the west side of the street there will be two digesters, 12x25 and the nec essary equipment, for a producing ca pacity of 25 tons daily. It is in the big paper machine that Mr. Hawley takes a special pride. He went all over the east Inspecting the various machines of the many fac tories, noting the best features of all of them, and then went to Milwaukee, lsconsin, where he spent two weeks in the draughting room with experi enced men. A huge machine waa mapped out to the finest details, and Mr. Hawley will have the first paper machine In the world for the forma tion of a perfect sheet at any speed. This is a 122-Inch machine, with a capacity of 30 tons of newspaper and 20 tons of manlla paper every 24 hours. To house the big machine there will be constructed a building 40x204 feet, directly alongside of the east side pulp mill of the Crown- Col umbia & Paper Company, and It Is possible that a party wall will be built for both these buildings. The dock will be extended 12 feet on the north side to reach to the river and will come straight up to Main street, within a few feet of the woolen mills. SOCIALISTS NAME TICKET.
