PBATRD. --J - T&ere-WIIf Be Fusion in tke Form of aCltire"nB""Tlclcet to Opp'oseR-" publican Nominee. ' -Candidates for the office of Bepresenta tlvo, made" vacant by" tfie' death of, A, J. Knott, have not yet been announced by cither of the .opposing political .parties. 'Several names have been suggested. Neither county central" committee -is ridy to act, however. It Is evident that a careful canvass will be made to se cure strong candidates. "While this one oflTce will not tuTh the scale 'In -any -respect, It is considered very important. Both sides announce the purpose of enter ing the flght to win. , Among the Republicans It can hardly be said that any particular person is put forth. Chairman ilackay, .of the central committee, stated yesterday that many names were being considered. "There should be no haste in -choosing."' said Mr. 'Mackay. "We have plenty of time and should and will act carefully. At the present time the committee is inviting suggestions and discussion. We Intend to ciect our man, and naturally want "to put forward the best candidate available. No meeting has been held since the vacancy occurred. Probably each mem ber of the committee has his choice of candidates, but there has been no expres sion of who it shall be. After we have canvassed the field thoroughly we will be in better position to act judiciously. Deliberate action is the more necessary In this case, as it Is hardly expedient to hold a primary election and convention. That would Involve much expense and trouble. If the members of the party will Indicate their choice to the commit tee we will be glad to act accordingly. By waiting a wnlle and listening to all, we will be able to arrive at a generally tatlsfactorv choice without any diffi culty." The, position of the Democrats, Popu list? and Silver "RepuKlcans Is not ma terially different. Several names. have b?cn dlscusspd among the party workers, but so -far there .has been no disposition manifested to unite on any particular man. If any single 'individual could be saTd to have preference as" indicated by street talk.' perhaps C. E. B. "Wood is the one. "Whether Mr. "Wood would accept -the nomination Is, no.t lenown. "Certain it is Jthat he appears to be the favorite among the leaders.' Other names men tioned .are xOdayor TV- A. Storey, Fred erick V. Hoiman. Judge Thomas O'Day and John B. Coffey. A rumor was In circulation that Mr. Coffey had been set tled upop, in deference to the Republican support given the Legislative ticket of the Fusionfsts last June, but this Is not confirmed. Chairman H. B. Adams, of the Demo cratic County Central . Committee, had nothing- to say on the subject. One meet ing of the Democratic committee has been held since Mr. Knott's death, but that wasbef ore his Interment, and the wine -was nor meet lor a discussion of his -successor. - Another meeting of. the committee was held last -evcing, to which the .members of the Populist County Cen tral 0)mmittee were Invited. Chairman AdamsT said, this was" not called to con sider "the candidate, but. for other busi ness on hand. Naturally, .a candidate would be discussed, Tjut nothing was given out as to the results. Two things seem pretty certain. The three parties will be united in supporting the candidate chosen; -and a "Citizens" movement such us marked the "bringing out of-the legis lative ticket last June will be the method of acting-. SHBRMAK COUNTY'S HARVEST One-Sixth of Ore'gon's Wheat Yield Is Her Quota, Sherman County will produce more than a sixth of Oregon's wheat crop this year, according to L Starms, a Moro wheat raiser, who has Just finished threshing. Mr. Starms was. In Portland yesterday on .his way tov the State Fair, arid'was quite elated over the result of" his own" farm on Hay Creek, which yielded 28 bushels to the acre. The grain is of unusual plumpness, too, on account ,of the favor able Spring, and even should wheatbuy ets offer no more than at present, Sher man County farmers will make xnonqy this year, he thinks. "Although harvest hands are very scarce in Sherman County," Mr. Starms. said, "we managed somehow to save the crop in good shape. The combined -harvesters have about .'taken' my part of the county, and as only five men are needf d to cut, thresh and sack 45 acres' a -day, the scarcity of men was not 'so badiy felt If we were dependent on headers and threshing machines as of old, we would have been delayed very much. A combined harvester, worked by 32 horses, cuts a swath 20 feet wide and drops the sacks of wheat all over the field, to be gathered by a farm wagpn. I.kept one two-horse team and wagon busy gather ing up these wheat sacks,, and as high as 600 per day were taken" to the granary. The harvesters, though apparently wldo and cumbersome,, can be turned In .as small a space as a header can, and we usually cut two swaths around the edge' of every field with the .header before . turning" the harvester in. This first cqt- ting is used for hay. v 'Vhen we desire to gather the wheat straw for fodder, the harvester throws KING X. New Today Children's and" misses' "stylish' Jackets.

Although some .farmers are down on the combined, har vester, and declare they would not have one' on their, place, I prefer the J new machines to the old style. I figure' that my harvesting cost me40cents an acre less than what my- neighbors,, who used headers, and threshers, paid." The price offered for wheat along sta tions of the; Columbia Southern, Mr. Starms said, is now 45 cents a bushel, but he hopes to obtain -a better ngura as the season advances. - The harvest Just closing has been a pleasant one, so far as weather is con cerned, no time, having been lost oh -account of high winds, which Is an un usual circumstance. "It maybe that the seasons are changing In Eastern Oregon," he said, "or that wo understand how to cnt and thresh -on- a windy" day better than. we used to." - . t . NEILL'S BIO TRIUMPH. He Plays the Role "Which Made Rich ard Mansfield Famous. . ' James Nelll' achieved a notable triumph at the Marquam-last-i night. Thus"' far in his engagement 'this week, the repertoire gave opportunity only to maintain the very high place he made for himself last season in the estimation of Portland's theater-goers. Until he played Baron Chevrial in "A Parisian .Romance," he did not reveal his most artistic and most effective work. He has been compared with Sol Smith Russell, "at Goodwin and E. H. Sothern, comedians of more than National reputation, and, while he is in one sense an Imitator, he always en dows every -role with an Individuality which raises him above the originals. "Whatever he plays, he puts forth his own strong personality; therefore, the criti cal theater-goers take and admire Nelll for himself, not for the prototypes. But last night he passed a crucial test He played a role made famous by the best living character actor, Richard Mans field! Those who have the best sort of an opinion of Nelll were Inclined to doubt whether he, would be equal to Baron Chevrial, and. . feared that possibly he was too ambitious. His first act dispelled doubt at once, the second evoked distinct admiration, .the third emphasised It, and In the banquet and death scene, Nelll met the tragic requirements magnificent ly. His. versatility Js almost marvelous. It will- be In no way surprising -to hear of him adding "Hamlet" to his repertoire, and' no one will now believe that he can not approach, closely to the masters If he undertakes It. There -was. a. packed .house, a -.great amount of enthusiasm, -and any nuinjber of curtain calls. As usual, the support was perfectly satisfactory. Mr. Burton made- an excellent Dr.- Chesnel; Benn Howard's, emotional lines as 'Henri de Targy were handled satisfactorily; Miss Dean, vMlss "Vera McCord. a stranger hitherto, and Miss Swain made a trio of dashing ballet glr!sMlss Chapman real ized Marcelle. Miss Andrews was .per fectly at ease, majestic, sympathetic." im perious, asJIadam.de Targy. The minor roles were handled with fidelity and care. One good' thing in the Nelll repertoire will be repeated this afternoon at the matinee. It will be "A Bachelor's Ro mance," and the opportunity will be afforded to see Mr. Nelll In bis happiest vein. .Tonight, for farewell,' "Nlobe" - COMING ATTRACTIONS. , "A Hindoo Hoodoo." r Few farce-comedies achieve success as soon as has "A "Hindoo Hoodoo," which comes to Cordray's Sunday night, and which from the time of lts. initial pro duction in New YorlcThas packed houses wherever It has been seen. The "West ern tour. has been unusually successful, and pj-css and. public all along .the .line have united to praise the company and the plajvand to urge the local managers to book It again next season. The play hinges on the magic of a Hmdoo magi cian, who projects two souls, one of a business man "and the otEer of a doctor, Into space. "When he suinmons them to return only.uhe obeys, and In bis con fusion he steers .It into the body of the business man,. The body wakes up looks at his watch, and remembers that he has a consultation with another physician in an hour. From that time the fun be gins, and does not stop till the fall of the Anal curtain. Three leading members of the company are well known In Portland. Anna Boyd created, the character ofthe widow, In "A Trip ..to Chinatown," andhas made suc cesses of many, of the parts In Hoyt's farces. The light comedy Is in the hands of George Larson, who was the first com edian manager Cordray. ever brought to Portland to play in stock. " He has made an enviable reputation of late years, and now ranks as one -of the best actors In his line on the -stage." Mattie Lockette, thesoubrette wholappeared here in "Gay Coney Island!" is another Portland' fa vorite. Hoyt's "A Texas Steer." Hoyt's "A Texas Steer" will be pre sented' at thetMarquam Grand next Tues day and -"Wednesday evenings and will undoubtedly receive s. cordial welcome. There-s a' world of homely truth in this broad atirej and it appeals to no com munity niore than to. the inhabitants ot this city, who certainly know quite a llt tle.of the seamy side of politics.

Declares Htmnelf in Minnesota, Where He Has Had an Active Po litical Career His Reasons. Colonel Crooks,. chief elrk in the office of President Mohler, of 'the O. R. & N., a man well along- In years and of high standing, Is hack in Minnesota on his an nual visit The St. Paul Pioneer Press of September 12 printed the following an nouncement and interview with him, which is particularly significant in the state where he is so well known, and which was the scene of his political ac tivities: "Colonel "William Crooks, who com manded the Sixth Minnesota Volunteers during the entire time of that regiment's service in the Civil "War, and for 40 years an enthusiastic and prominent Democrat, has declared his Intention to support Pres ident McKlnley and the sound-money and expansion planks. Colonel Crooks de nounces Bryan and his followers as ad venturers that have- sacrificed party prin ciples for the sake of personal aggrandize ment and spoils, and, says the imperialism slogan is merely, a cloak to veil an atti tude on National finance which, once its principles were set at work, would Inevi tably result In Nationadlshonor. ,, "Though not actively identified with p-olltics for a number of year, Colonel Crooks has always been a party adviser and formerly a'leader. He was a member of the lower house of the state Legisla ture In 1875 and 1877, and a member of the Senate In 18S1. He believes. Bryan's principles are not those of true Democ racy, and that they will, be forever con signed to the oblivion of charlatanism by the voters of 1900." The Colonel said last night: In 1800. at the lnt Presidential election, those menth'at had always -stood by the Demo cratic party became that party dealt with Issues common to th'e whole country and the Constitution, and conMdered Itself par excel lence the narty of the Constitution, left It. Prior to that time It dealt through Its conven tions and through It-J pubjlc men with matters lqoklng to the perpetuation of the Union, and was not p 1 A Sectional Party. The Arm stand taken by President' Cleveland In upholding the honor and credit of the Na tion was In the line of the high policy held-by the National D"emocratlc party In regard' to the financial question, as well as that of tariff and all its consequences. He honestly endeavored so to rulde the administration of public af fairs durlntr his term oft the Presidency as honestly .to redeern the pledges his "party had made to the, people. The dissensions which arose durlnr his last term were not of his making, and the. men that betrayed, the pledges under which the Democratic party had been returned to ivower received, as time wont on, the rebuke they well deserved. The people. losing confidence because "the pledges embodied in the party's platform were not fulfilled, re turned the Republican party to power. "The re sultant break in the great Democratic party opened the way for ambitious men, who looked more to temporary success and spoils than to principles, to allow the National con vention at Chlcaro to bo raped by Populists and dlsorganlrers. These men then presented a platform which Has Been Repudiated. And will continue to be repudiated by the men .that stood by the Democratic party all their lives because it was a party devoted to the welfare and honor of tho Nation. It is true the organization of that great party Is in the hands of Mr. Bryan and his, followers, but In time It will be recovered and restored to tha hands oCthose that place devotion to the Con stitution and the flag of the whole country before success at the cost of principle. Personally, I could not see my way clear toj support either the platformr 01 the nominees of the Chicago convention from a true Demo cratic standpoints -In 180CI cast my vote for the nominees of-the Republican party'1 because that party pledged 'Itself to the maintenance of the honor and credit1 of f ttie Nation.

PURE FOOD AND PRICES. , " Gain In .Dairy Trade Partly Due to Enforcement of Law. sillier' Freeman, publisher of Ranch and Range, of Seattle, was in Portland yes terday after having-visited the State Fair at Salem." He spoke highly of this year's Fair, particularly commending the live stock exhibit, which, he said, waa the fines.t ever made on the Pacific Coast. In talking with an Oregonian reporter, Mr. Freeman spoke" - of -the gratifying progress that had been made in protect ing producers land consumers from adul terated foods. The pure-food laws of Ore gon and ."Washington are similar, and in both states the official, Intrusted with the duty o'f 'enforcing them isactive and he accomplishes creditable results. "It so happens that in Washington most of the stir Is about Impure groceries," said Mr Freemari.' "In Oregon more attention Is directed to dairy and fruit products. Mr: Bailey has done valuable service in ridding 'the market o'f butter substitutes, fraudulent 'jellies, etc., in the guise of the genuine. The law, of course, does not say what the p.eople shall or shall not eat, but It says that whatsoever is sold the peo ple shall be sold under its true name. If people prefer to use butterine or oleomar garine, 'they are at pqrfect liberty to do so, but they should buy It unfaer its true name", not 'under the name- of Gutter. So with, jellies. If people prefer colored glu cose, they should be permitted to have it, but the "rspurious article'1 should not be" forced upon them for the genuine. All the law can do is to p'ut-the proper label on these articles, so that the people may buy triem understanding. The only ob ject manufacturers or dealers can have In putting out adulterated goods Is to reap an unjust 'profit by selling inferior and perhaps harmful articles In, the guise of honest wares. This is- a fraud 'that hurts both tho producers and 'the corisume'rs o'f the state.-. . . - ; ' iThe 'excellent price which Oregdh dairymen have been getting - for Cheir product this year is partly due tp -activity in enforcing .the pure-food law. By ruling out the spurious articles that have hitherto .served' to keep the market over supplied, tho honest products are given a chance. The people are prosperous, and don't want food Imitations; they are able to payrfor the genuine, and that Is what they.ibuy, creating an active demand that is renecteu in the better -prices tne pro ducers receive. -Thls works a hardship on nobody. If the price for the genuine ar ticle i too high to suit anybody, he may buy the,, imitation as he did before, but now he buys it for what it is, not for what it may; be called.

Winter Promises to Be a Prosperous Season, for t&e Industry. The ensuing Winter promises to be an active one in the transfer of Oregon and "Washington timber lands. The num ber of Eastern buyers now In Portland is larsrer than at any previous time, and still more are expected as the season advances. Several timber men have opened offices "in downtown buildings so ad to make it convenient to meet Jthose "who haveTlands 'fbrsalo, and theso offices will also'be headquarters for the various cruisers engaged 'in examining' the titles, values and locations of the- quarter sec tions whose owners think they have held them long enough. Timber lands have advanced In price over 100 per cent within the past few years, under the stimulus of Eastern de mand, but this increase by no means scares buyers .. away.' jQuarter sections that a few years ago could be bought for Jo , an acre .have advanced to J10, while the acres for which $10 were de manded have, in some instances, risen to $25. Purchasers range all the way from $600 to $4500 per quarter section, accord ing' to' the amount of timber the orulser reports, together with its accessibility from the various navigable streams. Mrs. McKinnon, of Castle Rock, "Wash., recently sold her 160 acres for $4500, to a Michigan buyer. This is the best sale so far reported, being over $28 an acre. ,1 There are timber men from Michigan, Minnesota, "Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and even Louisiana, who "will make their headquarters in Portland this year, with a view to adding" to their store of Oregon and "Washington fir, cedar, spruce and larch, and by thiB time next year the original owners 4of quarter sections of for est will be much reduced in number. The money paid to settlers by these tim ber buyers 'already reaches Into the hun dreds of thousands, ,and forms quite a fictor'in th'e 'increased per capita circu lation of" the state, but the money about to be expended will form a much larger sum, according to timber, men well in formed on the outlook. "Many have grown rich in the lumber ing Industry of the Bast within the past 40 years," one of these said yesterday, "and what else can they do with their surplus cash but Invest it again in what has turned out bo well. The banks of the East are glutted with deposits and th'ey ' will jjay nothing for the use of money, so we mlghtvas well get hold of Pacific Coast timber lands while they can be obtained at. a reasonable price. "The transferror the timber lands of Oregon and Washington does not mean that these tracts shall He idle for an in definite period." he continued, "and it Is only a question of a very short time when these purchasing- will begin to reap the benefit of "their Investments. New sawmills will be erected, new logging camps started, and the opening of these camp3 will be accompanied by the con- struction of branch lines of standard gauge railroads into the now remote timber belts. These new linos will de veldo the dairy and farming- interests, and people" the now remote valleys and. canyons with a thriving population, which .will be all tributary to Portland." The .purchase of timber land has here tofore s been "attended with considerable expense and difficulty, as there has been little or no "system of listing: the various quarter sections,, for sale. Each firm de siring .to Invest has been obliged to put Its own cruisers In the field, and In many cases these cruisers have reported ad versely, as the lands did not come up to tho agent's description. The expense of cruising was therefore borne by the pro posed purchaser, but as no headquarters had been establshed for recording- results, the next Investor would be put to the same' trouble. "With the establishment of offices In Portland, reliable data will accumulate, and both buyer and seller can be brought together with less expense and more extensive results. A Bad Precedent.

Secretary Gebhardt. of tho Oregon Fish and Game Association, is circulating as widely as possible the provisions of tho law passed by Congress last May respect ing the preservation, distribution, intro duction and restoration of game birds. and other wild birds and animals.

To tha Editor.) Apropos of the many "predictions" that Galveston would be submerged, I wish to say that any person who had visited Gal veston and was" not blinded by business interests, or whose Judgment was not be witched by the climate and magnificent beach, 23 miles in length, knew that It was only a question of time when Gal veston would be washed away The high- est poin.t of the island offered no place of saiexy in sucn a storm as may tane piace any year Jn the coast of Texas. Galveston has suffered severely before. Twenty-five years ago a large portion of the city and Island was submerged, with much los3 of life. Children were held aloft over the heads of parents, whllo the latter waded through the raging waters to a possible place of safety. During thl3 storm the whole of the coast of Texas suffered. Indlanpla was washed into the sea. The latter place was re built, and some years later was again ) washed into the sea. The submerged portion of Galve3ton waa rebuilt, only to be washed away, ground and all, by the recent storm. There is absolutely no protection from such a disaster, if the storm happens to strike that point, and heavy storms are common on the coast of Texas. B. A DAY'S OUTIITG.
