REFORMERS IN MARION COMPARISONS BETWEEN SOME OF THE OPPOSING CANDIDATES. Joint Canvass of Republicans and Fusionlsts to Besrtn Tuesday Expected to Be Lively. SALEM, Or., Mar 20. The joint can vass of Marion County by the Republican and Fusion candidates, beginning Tues day, Is expected to give some life to the local political situation. Thus far all haa been quiet, and little Interest has been taken. The Republicans have held sev eral public meetings In various sections of the county, where joint meetings will not be held, but no effort has been made, to stir up enthusiasm. The Fusionlsts have not yet begun to work in the open, but are doing some vigorous reconnolter lng. Beginning tomorrow evening, when C. "V. Fulton will discuss the political issues from a Republican standpoint at Salem, the campaign is expected to be lively. Tho present outlook Is that the oppo sition will direct its' greatest efforts at the Republican county ticket, for it Is generally conceded that the Republican Legislative ticket has a walk-over, and efiorts to defeat It will be in vain. The FuslonlsV will xai' on a campaign of denunciation Bf IfvJ&bJIcan methods, and will contend for a nonpartisan adminis tration of county affairs. They will pose as "reformers," and will deny to the Re publicans any right to that title. The. Republicans, on the other hand, think they can point to a record that warrants the approval of the taxpayers, and are disposed to laugh at the at tempt of the Fusionlsts to pose as "re formers"' and "nonpartisans." The Re publican candidate for County Judge is John H- Scott, a Salem attorney, who has never taken any part In politics and never sat in a political convention. His Fusion opponent is "W. W. Elder, a Stay ton business man, who has for years been the recognized leader of the Democratic party in his vicinity. Charles A, Mur phy, the Republican candidate for Sher iff, has never been In politics before, and never held but one office that of First Lieutenant in Company K. Second Ore gon Volunteers. Frank "VY". Durbin. his v Fusion antagonist, is one of the shrewd est Democratic politicians In the county, and Is now making his third race for the Shrievalty. But it Is for nonpartlsanshlp In the office of School Superintendent that the Fusion-sts are making the strong est demand. They are supporting for that office F. A. Myers, a Social Democrat, who was two years ago a candidate for the Legislature. The Republican canfll date is E. T. Moores, who Is now In the political arena for the first time. Although the comparison of candidates shows that the Fusionlsts are most open to the charge of partisanship, the Repub licans claim a still more favorable show ing on the question of political and so cial reform. The contest for supremacy In the Republican convention this year was fought out In the primaries" between the "push" and the "anti-push." and the latter prevailed The ticket nominated was satisfactory to all, except perhaps a few disappointed office-seekers. The re sult of the Democratic convention was much different. "So unsatisfactory was th method of carrying on the convention that E. Hofer, the champion of municipal reform, said in a union committee meet ing that, even If the Democratic party had a strong majority In the county. Its manner of nominating a ticket would cauos It to be snowed under on election day. The Populists refused, and still re fuse, to give their approval to the Demo cratic nominations for County Judge. Clerk and Recorder. Two years -ago the candidates of both parties ran on platforms pledging a re duction .of expenses. The Fusionlsts elected only one" candidate, Sheriff Durbin. At the special session of the Legislature ft bill was passed lowering the compensa tion of county officers and placing all on salaries. At the regular session the fol lowing Spring the "reform" Sheriff had his salary raised, and provision made whereby he could receive fees in addi tion to his salary. The salaries of the Republican candidates were not raised above the schedule established at the spe cial session. It was notorious that two years ago the saloon element in all parts of the county supported the Fusion ticket. It la a matter of wide comment today that the same element is giving Its aid to the Fusion ticket. It la upon these considerations that the Republican party In Marlon County claims a superior right to be called the "reform party," and to be recognized as favor ing "nonpartlsanshlp" In county affairs. As at present Indicated, the campaign will be carried on along this line, and the people will be asked to decide In favor of the party making the best showing. UNIVERSITY TRY-OUT.

C King, of Sand Lake, writes to the Tillamook Headlight the following story of the killing of seven stranded whales: On Thursday morning, the 10th, as O. R. Chamberlain was walking along the beach, he discovered some'black objects In the edge of thewater, and upon approach ing nearer he discovered that they were whales, which had become etrandsd from some cause or other. There were seven of them, and they were making tremen dous effort to get back Into deep water, without avail. The tide was leaving them. They would open their mouths and draw In about a barrel of water and then spurt It through the hole In the top of the!. head 20 feet into the air, and lying some times on their sides It was like getting in the cross-fire of a hose company. Mr. Chamberlain made tracks for home to get his gun and a butcher knife to carve them up. .On his return he turned loose with his gun to kill them, but after wasting a few shots he eavr that he could not kill them In that way, so he sailed Into them with his butcher knife, and stuck them ae you would a hog. That did the work, and be soon had seven whales strung on the beach that were from eight to IS feet long. Ho as once commenced to strip the blubber from the outside of the body and inside the. head. The fat was cut into six Inch strips and thrown across a horse's back and taken home and rendered out, which will amount to several barrels. It has a market value, and Mr. Chamber lain wll likely realize considerable from It. Aplils on Marlon Connty "Wheat. SALEM. May 20. In order to determine, If possible, whether there Is any founda tion for the report that the wheat crop Is endangered by the green aphis, several wheat fields north of Salem were exam ined this morning. The reports are to the effect that the aphides are most abun dant In lowland wheat sown In the Fall. The wheat north of town answers this description. In every field examined a few aphides were found, but In no case In alarming numbers. In the fields where they were the least abundant, they would average, apparently, one Insect to a dozen stalks of wheat, and usually only one In a place. In another field they were found quite thick on some stalks, while other stalks: were not infested. In th.s field they would probably average one aphis for every stalk of wheat. Most of tha In sects found were fulL grown. A few fam lles were found. Indicating that the aphides may be expected to multiply at this season. Farmers residing north of. Salm say that the Fall wheat, which has been unusually yellow this season. Is rap idly putting on the proper grean co'or, and promises to come out all right. The general opinion seems to be that the yel low color was caused by the cold rains. The rains were not followed by excessive ly hot weather, and It Is believed that the wheat will get well rooted before the ground shall dry out.

For the first time In the history of this port a quarantine has been established here against ves sels arriving from San Francisco. This relates particularly to Chinese passengers, as thus .far all others have, been allowed to' pass. Both State Health' Officer Fulton and Quarantine Officer Hastings have re ceived official notification of the existence of the plague at the Bay city, and, while the latter has received no Instructions from the department to establish an Inter state quarantine, he deems strict pre cautions necessary to guard against tho possible Introduction of the disease here, and, togetherwith the State Health Officer, will Inspect all Incoming vessels from ; that poet and Isolate all tho Chinese pas sengers. The first vessel affected by the new reg ulations was the O. R. & N. steamer Columbia, which arrived In this morning. She was detained In the quarantine grounds until a thorough Inspection was made and then allowed to come to the dock. Two Chinese passengers were, how ever, taken to tho Government quaran tine station, where their baggage will be fumigated, and they will be Held for about 10 days. Dr. Fulton stated .today that for the present, at least, all San Franc'sco steam ers will be held In quarantine grounds for inspection, but probably none of them will be tied up for any length of time unless there shall be sickness aboard. The Chi nese passengers will be removed to the quarantine station and Isolated for several days. What action will be taken In the future depends entirely on the reports of the progress of the disease at San Fran cisco. ' Officers Sought Men.

THE PLAGUE IN SAN FRANCISCO, Inoculation of Chinese and Japanese It Quietly Proceedings SAN FRANCISCO, May 20. There are no new developments In the plague situation. No new cases have been discovered, and the situation remains practically un changed. This announcement was made by the Board of Health tonight The In oculation of Chinese and Japanese Is quietly going on. From unofficial sources it is learned that eight Japanese and 11 Chinese were Inoculated with haffklne yesterday, and 26 Japanese- and 50 Chi nese today At all the exits of the city doctors are stationed, and unless a Chi nese or Japanese can exhibit a certifi cate of inoculation he Is not permitted to pass the city limits. The declaration of the Board of Health that the plague exists in the Chinese quarter of the city hag produced no alarm outside of that section. The chief feature of the situa tion lies in the opposition of the Chinese and Japanese to inoculation. The position of the Board of Health Is that the circumstances do not warrant the quarantining of the Chinese district or the compelling of its Inhabitants to submit to Inoculation so long as they re main In the city. Only those desiring to leave the city are required to be Inocu lated. The Chinese and Japanese, as a whole, are opposed to Inoculation. They have retained counsel to contest the mat ter In tho courts, should the Board ot Health resort to forcible measures. The Chinese Consul-Qeneral stated to night that he would take no action in th matter until he should be more fully in formed as to the plans of the Board of Health, or until some development In the situation requires him to take official no tion. Business was suspended in .the Chi nese quarter today, and knots of Chinese stood on the streets discussing the situa tion and expressing their determination not to submit to inoculation. They said they would rather die from the plagut than poison. NEW TO"WNSniPS OPENED. Railroad Stands Ready to Take Tracts Not Appropriated hy Settlers. VANCOUVER, Wash., May 20.

The season is now far enough advanced to judge pretty accurately of the fruit and crop prospects In Clackamas County. The Petite prunes will yield a good crop, while the Italian and German varieties will be short This Is the consensus of opinion from the fruit growing districts, and all agree that the apple crop will be Immense, although the bugs are reported to be bad In some localities.
