NEW -YOHK. POLITICS OF MARION OUTLOOK IS THAT ItEPUBLICA"N8 WILL aiAKE CLEA SWEEP. Opposition Forces Are Divided, and by Ao Means Enthusiastic A Populist Estimate. SALEM, Maj 6. Republican success In the June election In Marlon County Is as near an assured fact as an thing political can be before actual determination. Pro fessor T. C. Jory, -who is perhaps the most le el-headed Populist in the county, or In the state, for that matter, said In the Populist Count Central Committee meeting; that the political situation Is capable of almost mathematical demon stration. He cited the figures of the elec tion of two ears ago, when the three parties opposing the Republicans had formed a union as perfect as Impossible. In spite of the close union of forces, the Republicans won bj decided majorities, demonstrating that the Republicans can muster more otes than all other parties combined. He argued, as an unaioldable deduction, that. In order to win In the coming election, the reform candidates must poll the entire ote of the Demo cratic. ,Pjjpiist and Sll er-Republlcan parties, ana must draw a considerable vote besides from the Republican ranks Unless they can do that, he said, defeat was pre-determlned It is ery eldent that the reverse of the conditions prescribed by Professor Jory is in existence in this countj. The Sil er-Republican partj, which was of considerable Importance two years ago, has broken up, and is nowhere heard of. Many of Its adherents hae drifted quiet lj back into the Republican ranks, and will -vote the Republican ticket in June. Kelther the Democrats nor Populists are united within themeehes or with each other, There was a fight to the finish In the Democratic count convention, the fusion Democrats coming off -victorious Those men who advocated a straight Democratic ticket feel that the prevail ing faction has departed from Democratic principles, and thej will refuse to ac knowledge themselves bound to support the ticket in Its entirety. Thej will ote part of the Democratic ticket, but it Is certain that there will be few unscratched Democratic tickets cfist. Then, again, there are man fusion Democrats as well as straight Democrats, who will not vote for the Populist candidates, though they were ratified by the Democratic County Central Committee. The Populists are In much the same condition. Because It was foreseen that a fusion would be effected, many leading Populists remained awa from the con ventlon and committee meetings. They simply refused to hae anj thing to do with the partj manipulations, and will consequents feel free on election day to vote for the best man In the field, re gardless of partj affiliations. The Repub licans this j ear put up the best ticket they have had in ten jears, and a ticket composed of men whose ability and in tegrity are unquestioned The Republic ans are so well pleased with the ticket that they have no desire to scratch It. On the other hand, it will draw many votes from the other parties The opposition ticket has many weak spots in it. The Populists, after seriously considering the matter for half a day. refused their Indorsement to the Demo cratic nominees for Count Clerk, Count Judge and County Recorder. The best campaign speaker on the legislative tick et. John A. Jeffrey, withdrew to accept a nomination for the District Attorne ship The best ote-getter, John TV. Jory, a brother of the professor, declined to run for various reasons based upon prin ciple. Jory Is -very highly esteemea among the Populists, and would make an ftble legislator, But for bis PonuJUtlr EXACT COpy OF WRAPPCB. H ..W I EXACrxOPYOPWRAPFEa- JQ jvs&y S'IAs KciSS?

Those who figure upon the outcome ot the ejection base their calculations upon the ote for Sheriff two years ago Frani "W. Durbln, the Democratic candidate, de feated A. T. "Wain, the Republican candi date, by 26 votes. It Is said that Wain was the ctim of treachery In his own part; that he was handicapped by the fact that he had held a Deputyshlp while there was a demand for a "new deal," and that his campaign was poorly man aged. Durbln, on the other hand, had the full support of three parties, spent a bar rel of money In the campaign. Is a very sociable young man, and had the assist ance of Wain's Republican enemies. No such condition exists this year. Durbln will be opposed by Captain Charles A. Murph. of Philippine War fame. Mur phy will have the undivided support of the Republican party, and his campaign could not be In the hands of an abler manager. There are said to be many Populists, on the other hand, who are not satisfied with Mr. Durbln's appointment of deputies Durbln was elected by the voters of three parties. He has had three deputies, and all have been Democrats. It Is not claimed that they are Incom petent, but the Populists think they could have furnished a good deputy from their ranks. Durbln being the strongest opposition candidate, and lacking much of having the strength he had two years ago, the Republicans feel confident of his defeat and the annihilation of his ticket. THE FOREST GROVE CASE. The Coroner Refer to the Criticisms and Various Rumors. FOREST GROVE, Or., May 5. (To the Editor.) The criticisms regarding the in quest Into the death of Mrs. Anna C Hatch are not justified by the facts, ah a brief review of the caee will show. The exclusion of the public was -voted by the Jury after they thought their work had been hampered b the publication of their Investigations. Personally, the Cor oner favored admitting representatives of the press, but deferred to the unanimous and decided will of the jury. Whether the Coroner could or could not Influence the jur. such is not among the duties of his office. Investigation was made regarding the letters of the deceased up to the time the jur became convinced that Mrs. Hatch's death was from natural causes; further inqulr would no doubt have been appreciated by prurient curiosity, but would have had no legal warrant. The bed clothing and garments worn by the deceased woman were carefully-examined, and any one acquainted with anaesthetics must know how rd culoub the statement that the odor of chloroform could have been recognized a week after its use. Suf ficient examination of the remains was made by three phslclans. That the stomach was not analyzed was because the condition of the body made it out of the question that aro matenal poison had been used, while any volatile agent would have leng before been dleelpated. The heavy cost for a chemical analysis would have been wholly unjustified. For five days the Jury probed the matter thor oughl until fully convinced that no crimo had been committed, then, under the stat ute, no reason for further inquest existed. No doubt many interesting bits of scan dal may developcrbut that is not a matter for legal Investigation. In Its final deliberation, the Jury was alone and In no way inspired by any outsider. Attorne McCain's presence was justified by the presence of Deputy Pros ecuting Attorney H. T. Bagley. both of these gentlemen being allowed the cour tesy of questioning the witnesses to bring out such additional points as might aid In arriving at the full truth. In a word. It, death came from a natural cause. It mat ters not about any rings or letters or as to the details of the relations of Mrs. Hatch and Mr. Fletcher. a L. IJARGE, M. D . Coroner. TVetes From Dallas.

More Than 50,000 Cords Annually Consumed Horr Price Has Ad vancedRoad to Timber. OREGON CITY, May 6 The Willam ette Falls Railway Company Is extena lng Its motor line a mile and a half further up the TualaUn River from Its present terminus at the wood camp, to reach a tract of timber belonging to the Oregon Iron &. Steel Company. It Is considered a conservative estimate that the manufacturing establishments of Ore gon City use an average of 13) cords of wood dally, and an old wood contractor estimates that it takes 7000 cords annually to supply the needs of private individuals In the city and Immediate -vicinity. The contractor who supplies the Crown Paper Company recelv es $2 75 for the wood de Uvered where it can be used at the mills. Of course, the wood used here requires considerable handling After It Is hauled to the river bank It must be transferred to a scow; then it is transferred to the locks canal, where it Is unloaded and placed convenient for. use. Wood for pri vate use brings $2 50 to $3 per cord de livered. According to the estimates, the consumption of wood here amounts to. more than 52,000 cords, putting Into clr culaUon In this Immediate vicinity annu ally over $140,000, at the lowest estimate. Every year Increases the distance for transporting wood, and owners of lands conveniently situated get quite a revenue for stumpage, arjlng from 30 to 50 cents per tree. A large contractor is now pay ing 30 cents a tree four miles from the city. Two cars ago this contractor was delivering wood in the city at $1 50 per cord and palng a corresponding low rate of stumpage. At tnat time he had to rus tle customers; now the- wood consumers hunt the dealer. There Is yet plenty of timber for fuel, but it is not so conv enlent ly situated as It -was a -very few years ago, especially In this section where the consumption Is so great Field Superintendent E. R. Greenman, of the State Fish Commission, returned today from a -visit of inspection to the eteelhead salmon hatcher on Salmon River, and found the work progressing satisfactorily. Tom Brown Is superintend ent of this hatchery, and notwithstanding it was late In the season before the racks were planted, about 200,000 eggs hav'e al ready been taken. Mr. Greenman made a careful Inspection of the ground around the hatchery site, as it is the intention of the commission to purchase the land and make this steelhead hatcher- permanent Although State Fish Commissioner Reed's deputies hae thus far failed to secure a conviction of any one for illegal fishing In the Clackamas River, these of ficers are diligently patrolling the river hoping to catch more offenders and secure direct proof of their guilt In the Hlmler case, where the Jury failed to convict In the Justice Court at Clackamas Station. Friday, the deputies arnounce their ln tenUon of canning the condemnation pro ceedings against the seized net and boat to the Circuit Court. The Hlmlers secured possession of the boat and net by replevin, but the deputies assert that the seized ar ticles are guilty of violating the fish laws whether the owner of the craft was gulhy of any offense or not A number of fishermen say that It is an unjust discrimination making the Clackamas River a closed stream, and justify the attempts to fish In these waters by the assertion that the statutory provision regulating this matter is uncon sUtutlonaL In fact, this Is the argument made by the attorne s for the defense before the juries In the Justice Courts. The sympathy of the people living along the Clackamas River appears to be with the fishermen. Many law-abiding form ers living in the vicinity of the fishing grounds make bold to assert that the law is unjust discriminating against certain sections of Clackamas County, inasmuch as trey are not permitted to use nets In catching salmon for their own use.

On account of the excellent service giv en by the fir block pavement on Pacific avenue, which was laid six years ago.

SOME POLITICAL OPINIONS. Ideas on the Situation in Oregoa From Various Sources. The Democrats of Yamhill County were not so cavalier in their treatment of the Populists as in other counties of the state. The McMInnvile Transcript says ot the "Bryan ticket" nominated there: "This Is the third child horn to this conglomeration- The first was in 1896 and was called 'Bimetallic'; the second in 1S3S named 'Democratlc-Popu 1st Silv er-Republican and- now this offspring has lost entirely the genealogy and Is dubbed 'Bryan. It took fighting grit to bring it about; but Cal Cooper and Mose Johnson took the Democratic bull by the horns, and as hard as Ferguson and Dick Philips fought fpr the perpetuation of the good, old. Democratic name the 'party of Jef ferson and Jackson." It was of no avail. The Democrats had to "come down off the roost' and surrender about e erythlng demanded of them by their compatriots, except the nomination of Houck for Sher IC." The Ontario Advocate thus expresses Its Idea of the Portland situation: "Mayor Storey, of Portland, like all others of his ilk, insists upon hanging onto his of fice because the salary 'looks good to him. The Republicans concluded to have someone else, and so refused to nominate him- The same 'old Story " will, be in evidence just the same; for he has man ufactured a party of hl3 own and calls It the Independent Republican party of Portland. The Democrats ought to win out again this ear on tne priclple that honest men can get their rights when rorues fall out" The Ashland Tidings says: "Ugly re ports of a 'now element introduced Into politics come to Ashland. The employ ment of outlying district school teachers as political strikers for candidates dis plays a shameless prostitution of the pub lic school service, and one which the people, irrespective of party affiliation, will not tolerate It should be stamped out and that quickly." True courtesy could scarcely go far ther than was shown by William Doyle In the following- notice published in the Port Orford Tribune: "Having been nominated by the Democratic Convention of Curry County for the office of County Treasurer, I hereby withdraw as such candidate, in favor of William S Wlnsor, who- Is more suited for the position. Thanking the Convention, I am," etc There Is not a word of truth In the statement that the chairman of the Re publican County Central Committee has emplojed notary publics to canvass Baker City and register only Republicans, say3 the Republican But In any event it ia the duty of Chairman Lachner to see that Republicans are registered. The sys tem adopted by the Fuslonlsts in this country Is to send out an ex-saloon-keeper and proprietor of a gambllng-hou3e In Sumpter and candidate for Sheriff on the Fusion ticket, armed with a notary com mission, to register all of his political faith In the county. He Is going over the county driving a fine team and sit ting In a handsome buggy to tell the tax ridden, farmers how to vote. The Tillamook Headlight says that it's enough to make a jayhawk Iauch when being told that some of the ynterrifled Democrat expect some assistance from the disgrunted Republicans who cannot control that party longer in this county, especially In the election of a joint Rep resentative. As far as the Headlight la concerned, our unterrlfled Democratic friends are quite welcome to any assist ance they may receive from that quar ter, but we would advise them not to place too much confidence in politicians who, having failed to pull the legs of the Republican party this year, are now wanting to elongate that of the unterrl fled. In fact, any old thing of a lee PilMi9$
