HON. W. F. w. F. nUTCHEU FOR CON GRESS. F. Butcher, tho Democratic for congress, In this, tho Hon Ww candidate Socond Oregon District, Is ono of tho ablest and most popular men In Oregon,-and If cloctoil would mako ono of tho most cffectlvo workors for this state that It ever had at Washington. Ho Is an ablo lawyor, a cogont rea soned and oratory, second to nono In tho dlbtrlct, n tireless workor, n man just in tho prime of llfo, -nnd almost Incompmparauly suirorior, in somo im portant particulars, to IiIh opponent. Mr. Butcher camo to tho Pacific Northwest nearly a qunrtor of a cen tury .ago, nml for somo yoarB taught school In Walla Walla county, Wash., In tho mean- tlmo put ting in all his sparo tlmo studying lav. and his snvlngs Into tho purchaRo ofChiw books. Almost 20 years ago he opened a law ofllco nt Athena, Umatilla county, and Kraduolly gain ed by Industry and fidelity a lucratlvo practice. Desiring n larger noiti, no moved about 12 years ago to Baker City, whero ho haB boon ono of tho leading lawyers slnco, and has also iaterested himself In other business and in tho Upbuilding of that splen did city.

House Votes to Have Ships Built at Nevy Yards Eight Hour Day Issur. Washington, May 24. Tho Iioubo of representatives almost completely sur rendered to the demnnds oi labor in .tercflta in providing that ono Bhip of each kind shall bo built in tho govern ment navy yards. Appeals of organiza tions havo been pouring in upon con gress in tlio wuy of petitions over sinc tho beginning of this session. It would seem that nearly overy labor organization in tho country cent each member of coiiltcbs a sonornto tietltion, asking that rhips of tho navy bo built in government yardr. Tho object of this wuh plain. Tlio unions insist that whonoor lalior 1h employed on such ships tlio government standard of eight hours shall provnil. Tho houso adopt ed this amendment, in spito of tlio as sertion that tho cost would lw a great deal moro and that it wua doubtful if tho ships would Iki us good. Another great victory for tlio labor ing intorestH was tho parage of tho houso bill providing that all work en teringlho government contracts should bo performed by lalior employed but eight hours. If tlio bill should puns tho senate in its prcMJiit sIiuimj it would mean that labor on tho ships that nro not built in government yards, as well as that on liny other work which is to become government proper ty, must be performed on the eight hour schedule. Just how fur-rcncliiiig this legislation will bo depends upon tho construction which executive ofli cials of the government give tho law when it is finally enacted. Homo Niy that it would enter Into every piece of stel or stono used in n government building and every bit of iron or steel in a ship. It is a move in tlio direction of eight hours, and the laboring organ izations believe if thoy can get tills leg islation enforced, that with the threat of compelling the building of moro ships in government yards thoy have practi callywon tho eiu'ht hour fight through out the country.

When Mr. Butcher wnH a candi date for presidential elector In 1892, ho ran nhend of his colleagues on tho ticket, receiving tho highest vote cast for a Democratic elector. Colonol Butchor hns nlwaya had n warm spot, and n largo ono In his honrt for tho Nogroes, probably thoro la not ono of tho hundreds of Nogroes in Oregon who havo not mot him dur ing tho pnst 20 years, but is his per sonal friend.

Tho tenth day of tlio anthracite coal min ers' strlko pasped off vory quiotly, not a slnglo incident developing which would in any wuy tend to change tlio prcsont situation. Most of tlio mem bers of tho three committees left for their homes tonight. Tho threo dis trict presidents are still hero. Presi dent Mitchell kept close to ills ofllco all day.

In quiries ut the olllces of tho big coal tompanles hero today failed to elicit any definite Information ns to how tho operators will meet tho latest domand of tho minors. At tho olliro of ono of tho largest companies it wuh s(.id nn definite plan had yet boon decided upon. Tho general impression prevails that most of the companies will refute tho demands and that non-union men will be imported to take tho places of tho engineers, firemen and pumpmen.
