and Prohibition, 12. Bryan's majority,

jority of 60 has been wiped out and a
Republican majority of 15i created.
"The majority given to Moody this year
Is very srratirying." said W. C. Thompson,
chairman of tho Republican County Cen
tral Committee. "For several reasons we
idid not expect to do fo wii. One was
that hy the creation of "Wheeler Coutsty
wo lost precincts that had always been
safely Republican. Another was that we
were doubtful of Granite. Tho precinct
3ras heretofore been considered a Demo
cratic stronghold, and bar.des a larpeTOin
'Ittg population has gono In (here that we
jUd not know havr to-pjaoe. "We flmired
that Granite would be Democratic by 108.
but it gave Moody a plurality of foar. The
Jvote of tho precinct on Congressman was:
Moody, 114; Smith, Fusion, 110; Simmons,
Independent-Democrat. 51, and Butier,
Iroh4bitlond, 10. Out unexpectedly large
Tote in Granite helped to swell Moody's
majority.
"At tho November election McKinley
Will boot Bryan hy fully 200 In Grant
County. Bryan has lost ground in the
post four years. He will not gef tho Gold
Zkxmoctwts this year, though they are anx
ious to vote for a democratic candidate
for PresJdcent, and he wiU make no In
roads upon the Republican vote. Our peo
ple are prosperous and contented, and
they want no change in the National Ad
ministration. -Grant County has never
ibeen oo prosperous except In the old
days hen placer mining was tho only in
dustry. But conditions have changed since
then. In those days everything was
placer mining. Now we havo placer and
quartz mines, lumbering, stockraising and
agricultural production. "We have come
to bo a factor in the industrial worCd, ana
Republican policies, including the goCd
standard, best serve our material inter
ests." Another prophet of Republican success
In November 1-s G. "W. McHalcy, of Prairie
Ctty. father of County Clerk R. R. Mc
Haley. Sir. McHaley was yctirs ago a
Democrat, and. as he declares, a hot one.
Ho voted for Breckenridge and Lane in
!S6 but in lSGi he voted for Lincoln and
(has been acting wtth,the Republicans ever
fiince. Ho says that Moody's majority
this month shows that the silver issue Is
dead In Grant County, and that McKInley

licitors showed that contracts had been
secured to the amount of 317514 acres.

approximately 400 acres more were shown
up which had been promised and could
be counted on., This leives about 1500
acres to be secured this week, as the
time limit has been placed at July L
Considering that the territory has already
been pretty well canvassed, this seems a
large amount, but it will be recanyassed.
and farmers who have been holding In
reserve for the last call will now do their
part. Some have already doubled their
acreage pledged as many as four times.

will shortly be increased to forty. A

for funds wfth which to buy the site for
tho factors, and will begin the canvass

quired for this purpose. Very little diffi
culty is apprehended In securing this
amount.

TO OPERATE SALEM MILLS.
Portland Owners Cause Old Plant to
Be Ins-iected.
SALEM. Or., June 25. S. F. Kelly, an
employe of the Salem Flouring Mill Cora
pany, at Portland, was in Salem ymter
day, inspecting the water-power at the
old mill and examining Into the condition
of tho plant. The company mentioned
the subject of moving the warehouse now
located at the foot of Ferry street to
the old mlllslte on North Front street,
but it is not thought that It seriously
considered undertaking so large a task
as moving the ponderous structure. Ihe
company has decided to receive wheat at
Salem this year, and tho question no?
interesting the people of Salem Is where
The building boom now on In this city
would be greatly augmented if the com
pany would put -a. new mill on the site
of the one that burned down last Fair.
While Mr. Kelly had nothing to pay re
gardlng his observations, the face that
he was Inspecting the old mill plant leail-i
to the inference that the company may
renovate the building now Idle for irc.tiiy
years and operate It this FalL it would
take only about two weeks to get tha
plant in running order.

.AH INGENIOUS SWINDLE.
Spanish Schemes Find Many Amer
ican. Victims.
WASmNGTON. June 25. Dwight Reed,

Spain, has brought to the attention of
the State Department an ingenious
swindle which has been attempted upon
various persons In this, country by ccr-
tain Spanish schemers.
r,. -,.... ,i rncmtt c!Tnni lotto-
which was used in the attempt to de-
fraud. It was sent to H. Stenl, of Buf
falo, N. Y., and was signed "Louis Sam
pes; Stenl," and in it the writer claims
and explains a. close relationship with the
recipient of the letter. "Louis Samper
Stenl" recites a long series of untoward
happenings and complications, which only
financial aid can mend. He has come into
possession of some $550,000; confessedly an
embezzlement from the Spanish Govern
ment, but to insure his money against
recoverment by the officials has deposited
it in a Mexican bank, payable upon pre
sentation of a check accompanied by a
crtain countersign arranged by hlmselr
and the bank. Certain legal steps have
been taken against him, and In lieu of
ready money to defray his part of tho
proceedings, he has been put In prison,
and hjs personal effects, Including a. va
lise In which reposes the "countersigned"
check for his fortune, are about to be
sold at auction. In return: for timely
financial aid for his "blood relation" he
promises a quarter of his fortune, his
daughter's share of the money during her
minority and his everlasting gratitude.
His daughter is at a convent, and the
prior is the sola other possessor of, his
secret. Ho asks that a reply be sent to
Teodoro Runez, Calle de Swivela, Cham
ber!, Madrid. The latter is a nephew
of the prior, but h ignorant of the ex
istence -of tho check, and- the writer,
therefore, cautions that the answer he
sent In an envelope enclosed within one
addressed to "Runez,"
Similar communications have been sent
to persqns all over the United States,
the writer In most coses assuming the
same name as the person addressed. Dur
ing the past year. Consul Reed says, per
sons have come from Boston and New
York all the way to Madrid, only to find
themselves victimized- The Consul has
been besieged of late by inquiries by tho
recipients of letters asking some informa
tion about the signers of the communi
cations. He has endeavored to answer
them all, but In view of the growth of
the swindlers overtures, ho finds tho
task becoming great. Steps probably will
be taken to hunt down the offenders and
mete out proper punishment
