THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1900. GEER ON THE ISSUES The Governor Makes a Telling Speech -at Baker City. FALSE PROPHETS HAVE SHIFTED Calamity -Promised -Four Yearn Ago failed, and Ncvc Dangers Are In vented to Frighten Voters. BAKER CITY, Or., June 1. Governor tt. T Geef spoke at the Opera-House to night to a large audience. Many -were unable to gain admittance, and the street In. front pi the building was thronged with people during his address. Governor Geer said in part as follows: "I have come to discuss for a short time the dangers that confront our country, and which threaten to undermine and de stroy the Jast vestige of our liberties. "We are evidently In greater danger than we are aware we generally are. There are different kinds of dangerous influences at work which threaten to destroy our form of government and make slaves of the masses of our unsuspecting people, and the narrow escapes we hae had in the past simply border on the miraculous. It has betn only four ehort years since the land was filled with the lamentations of agonizing patriots that a grasping 'money power had committed the 'crime of 73' at tile bidding of English plutocrats, by -which one-half the money of the country had been struck down, and the resultant impoverishment of the common people not enly would come, but had come. Not only four years ago, but two years ago the average man was frantically grasp ing for some assurance anywhere, that 6bme unexpected agency might arise that would prevent his being hurried into the S'awring abyss of cruel slavers'. "All these things were impending, for we were told so daily by 'Cyclone' Davis, Mr. Sovereign and Mr. Lentz. of Ohio. So after the lapse of four and two years we have spread before us, not the same alarms but a different set, although en tertained by the very same alarmists. Mr. Bryan, himself, Ras through the state a short time ago fully as badly alarmed as four years ago, though with a different specie, but quite as dreadful in their ef fects as the samples of '98. False Prophets of Calamity. "But in determining how much weight should be given to the new batch of prophes'es as to the calamity which is hanging over the destiny of our country, some consideration is due the correctness of those heretofore indulged by the same dismal prophets, and when we cee that npt a .single prophecy of JFS6 has been ful filled, there is no necessity to give seri ous thought to those of this year. At no time in the history of the United States has there been such a volume of business of all kinds transacted, and laborers so generally employed at fairly good wages. Evidence of this is seen not only in the husy marts of trade in the cities, but is seen everywhere it accounts for the ab sence of street corner discussions of the silver question. Why, the lumber busi ness is alone giving employment to more men In Oregon today than were employed in all other lines of business combined during the period jus preceding the ad vent of President McKinley's administra tion. This fret, and other similar ones equally patent to the most casual ob server, is what accounts for the apparent apathy In the present campaign. There is absolutely nothing that can be said against the Republican party that cor- ' responds with the facts. "We have done what we agreed to. We have kept our campaign pledge?. We said business would reilve, and it has revived, and gone be yond anything ever before known in the history of this or any other country. "Now. th,e most singular thing about the Tise In the price of wheat in the Fall of 9S was that it greatly displeased the Democrats and Populists of the country. Even many who had wheat to sell and who had been conspicuous street corner orators for two months pointing to the un erring wheat chart", were not only non plussed, but actually disgusted. While they re'uctantly took here In the Willamette valley 75 and SO cents for wheat that only a short time before was a drug on the market, they looked about for some rea son for it that might prove artificial, and, therefore, only temporary. It might be that wheat would drop again before the election and the country yet be saved by thus showing the necessity for bl-metal-lsm. Of course, it is well remembered that in the first hours of bewilderment it was charged that Mark Hanna had raised the pnee of wheat as a campaign trick. Trekked to Another Kopje. "It has come to pass, therefore, that the general prosperity prevailing all over the United States hns spiked the Demo cratic guns so effectively that the entire party has trekked to another kopje and is try.ng to mass its forces for another stand. The tramps are gone, idle men are not to be found, the chimneys of manufac turing centers are no longer smokeless. The gleam of hope entertained two years apo that cotton at least might remain In a stagnant condition has vanished, and It has doubled In price, but how It could haVe done so without the aid of a trust has not been explained, and shows the base ingratitude of that commodity. The business of the country has been larger than ever before, and the traveling proph et from Nebraska has been discredited." The Governor met with a thoroughly rousing reception, and was frequently ap plauded during his remarks. Governor Geer was tendered a banquet by the Republican County Central Co'm mlttee at the St. Lawrence Hotel tonight. Short speeches were made by the Gov ernor, Chairman J. M. Lachner, and Hon. John C. Leasure. At the conclusion the audience joined in singing "America." Governor Geer will leave for Sumpter tomorrow, where he will speak in tho evening. MODEST FUSION CLAIM IN MARION. Confidence In the Election of Bnt v One of Their Nominees. SALEM. June 1. Tomorrow will wit ness the close at Salem of the first Joint canvass of Marion County by the Repub lican and Fusion candidates. A joint d'scusslon was planned for tomorrow af ternoon In this city, but owing to the fact that the Intercollegiate field meet will he held at that time. It has been decided to hold the political discussion In the evening; Both sides claim a victory on election day. The FuMonists-are confident of the eectlbn of only one candidate. F. W. Durbln. nominee for Sheriff. While they make claims for other candidates, Dur bln Is the only one that they are betting on. The Republicans feel confident of electing their full ticket. They think the fusion ls not .-as complete as it was two years ago, and that Durbin can not therefore get as large a vote as he did two years, ago, when he won by 35 ma jority. The main issue is centering upon the election of Sheriff, for it Is gen eral'y believed that the closest contest w.ll be for that office. Republican, leaders claim a majority of 359 votes for Murphy. The Fusion workers are not quoting fig ures, but expect a majority for Durbin In excess of what he got two years ago. , Still Speaking: for Fusion. ALBANY, Or., June L James Hamilton Lewis, of Seattle, better known every where as "Dude" Lewis, spoke at Halsey this afternoon, and at Albany tonight. In the Interest of the Fusion ticket.

The probable value of the estate is $23,000. , County Assessor Ell Williams and depu ties are busy entering the property on the assessment roll, described on 135 town plats recorded in Clackamas County. Many of these town plats and additions were made out, filed and placed on tho market about 10 years ago during the boom of that period, and some of the lots are not worth the taxes required to be paid on them. Material reductions will be made in the valuation of some of this property, end. in fact, Mr. Williams states that there will be a general cut In the valuation of assessable property through out the county, as with a high valuation Clackamas County Is required to pay more than Its share of the state tax.

Relatives of the Girl Sent Mnn to Insane Asylum. BAKER CITY, Or., June L A strango story, which reads like a romance, has just come to light In connection with the presence of George Lorenzo lu Baker City, who has been acting as special policeman for some time. Lorenzo came here about four months ago and at once applied to the City Council for permission to act as special policeman to guard the Interests of tho merchants and business men of the city. He explained to the city fathers that he came to Baker City for his health, and had eerved for several years as a special detective and also on the regular police force in Los Angeles, Cal. His appointment was authorized, and he en tered upon h!s duties as a special mer chants" policeman. He had another ob ject, however, than looking after the In terests of the merchants. Some four or five 5 ears ago Lorenzo was detailed on a breach of promise case In Phoenix, Ariz. The plaintiff in the suit was engaged to be married to a woman of a large fortune and was himself prac tically without means and ostracized by society. The relatives of the ydung woman opposed the marriage, but their opposition was unavailing, and to prevent the wedding they had the man arrested and put in jail. Later he was charged with lunacy, and was adjudged Insane and sent to the Insane Asylum. After being confined for two or three years he was discharged as cured, but was warned by the relatives of the young woman never to return, under penalty of again being sent back to the Asylum. Suit was then instituted for damages, and the plaintiff wandered around in dif ferent towns of the Northwest He came to Baker City about a year ago, where Lorenzo traced him from the meager de scription which he had obtained. The name of the plaintiff would not be di vulged, but he is fiald to have been fol lowing the vocation of laborer here the past year. As soon as Lorenzo established the identity of the man he had a photo graph of the man taken and sent it back to Phoenix, where It was recognized. Lo renzo took him before a Notary Public a few days ago and had the man make a sworn statement of the case, after which Lorenzo left with the document and pho tograph to present to the plaintiffs law yer In Phoenix. The amount of damages Is not stated, but it is eaidto be large, and Lorenzo will return in a few days and take the plaintiff to Phoenix to ap pear in the sufc. BAKER CITY KEEPS CHURCniLL.

He was on his way from Portland to Council Bluffs, In which city he was to accept a posi tion with the railroad company. His con. dition ls considered serious, and his re covery doubtful. THROWN ON BARBED WIRE. Three "Women and a Boy Injured In an Albany Rnnnuny. ALBANY, Or., June 1. A runaway of more than ordinary seriousness occurred last evening In the suburbs of this city. In which Mrs. J. B. Weaver and Mrs. C C. Parker, wives of Albany merchants, and Mrs. Lafferty and son, of Corvallis, were thrown down an embankment upon the ground and a barbed-wire fence. Mrs. Weaver was bruised In many places and cut under one of her arms to within a hair's breadth of the main artery, while the others were all injured.

Northern Fr.clfic Laid It Otvh la Main Street of Burke. BURKE, Idaho, June L Late this after noon a work crew of the Northern Pacific of 40 men tore up the old O. R. & N. track, replacing It by a switch running the wholo length of tho business street Bust- ness men are indignant, and will bring J suit for damages. They say It was" done as an act of revenge on the O. R. & n.. which yesterday tried to lay a sidetrack across ground owned by the Hecla Mining Company. Yesterday's affair was exciting. As fast as the 30 men In the employ of the O. R. & N. would put material on the ground the mine employes would throw it into the creek. Today the Hecla people se cured a temporary order restraining the railroad company from further attempts to lay a track. The order sets the 11th Inst, as the date for the hearing. Oregon Notes.

Salem Statesman. The proposition to raise a subsidy of 516.000 in Salem, for the proposed railroad from. this city to Falls City, has been J under discussion by the facers of tho Chamber of Commerce here- No definite action has been taken. A reporter has learned that the first proposition of the promoters of the pro posed line was that the people of Salem should give this 516,000 to be used towards grading the road and placing the ties thereon, after which they have assurance that bonds will be taken sufficient to com plete the line and equip It with the neces sary rolling 6tock. This propos.tlon, how ever, would not be entertained with any prospect of a successful conclusion by the people of Salem. It is thought however, that 516,000 could be raised here as a sub sidy for the road, to be paid after its completion, and upon a guaranty that it would be kept in operation. There ls no question qoncering the great benefits that would accrue to Salem from the building of this road. It would be worth 515.000 every year, for all time, and more than $16,000, annually, while the lum ber was being sawed in the Luekiamute Mountains. It would take a good many years to saw up the timber In that region. Exercises at La Fayette Seminary. LA FAYETTE. Or..
