THE MOBNING OBEGOKIAX, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1S00. LOSS FffR BRYAN: Former Bryan r-Stronghold Conceded to McKinley. MALHEUR COUNTY. IN THIS STATE Voters Are Taorousfcly Convinces". That Republican Success nad Prosperity Are Inepakwblc VALE, Or., Oct, SL-TMt Malheur County will give Mcfclnley & majority Is generally conceded." 'Set no one- in close touch with politics predicts much of a saajority. The Tace Is fairly trren, with odds leaning well towards Republican access. Malheur-was once the camp of rabid Populists, or Tuslonists. Opposi tion to the doctrines of this political or ganlrafiion was almost regarded ah. af frost if expressed. To show the change 'working to the county and. adjacent wt tricts. a little experience at Huntington, a Yew evenings ago Is Interesting. HUntington is in Baker County, but tributary to Malheur. For years it wai the principal market for the products of that county. Four years ago in Hunt ington, the vote for Bryan and McKinley stood more than two to one in favor of tho former. Republican, speakers visiting Baker County- -would not venture down to Huntington. That was a hopeless place, where Populism ran riot. Repuu licaas carried the precinct In Jane for tate officers, and a careful poll of the Jrreclnct just -completed shows, out of a total voting population of 153, about SI votes- for Bryan to 100 for McKinley. Mr. SloM&hon, Fusion speaker, did not thin, It worth while to waste time there thres renlngs ago, and changed Ms date. Malheur's political status is best deter mined from the opinions of men In close Couch with polltlvs in that county. and well-nformed. John C Rob erts, editor of the District Silver Advo cate, an Ontario Democratic paper, gave Utterance to the following candid words two days ago: "We? concede that McKinley will .carry Malheur County thisi year on account of It being entirey a stock county. Of course, all wool men are for McKinley, and we have many of them in tna county." Edward Test, a Democrat, of Ontario, one of the shrewdest politicians of the county, and perhaps as closely asso ciated with political affairs as any other man, said that Malheur might be classed among the doubtful counties, although indications aeemed at present to point to J a smaii itepuDucan majority, jut. xesx does not yield the county completely, but Is forced to admit that there is nothing very encouraging for tho Democrats. M. A. Slsson; now -residing" "in Bafeer City, but formerly a resident of Malheur County, and Republican candidate for the i Legislature two years ago, and In, c ose touch with politics there, fairly repre sents the Republican thought. He said: "I think Malheur will give a small Re publican majority at the Presidential election. The election in June Indicates that nearly all the principal precincts of the county are Republican by small majorities. It Is nut natural for the large wool interests of tho county to be for McKinley. Roughly estimating, over 1.500,000 pounds of wool were shipped out the past year. Cattle interests are quite heavy, although not so heavy as Har ney, but Malheur gets some benefit from Harney cattle, as they are marketed at Ontario. A large number of horses have been shipped out of the county during the past two years for the Government's use and as a'conaequenoe . very material Increase in the price of these animals has come about. Heretofore there were large bands roving tho ranges of tho county that had little. If any, value. "The fact that Moody received a ma jority 1n the June election this year wculd indicate that a great many voters -who supported the opposition candidate in 1898 had changed to the Republicans, al though the veto cast In 1300 was not so large as the 1S9S vote. These three men, the first two Demo crats and the last a Republican, enter tain about the same expectations re garding the county. All three are ac knowledged authorities on the subject. All conservative men are willing to jiccspt thel- joint veralct, after the slight varia- I Hon have been eliminated. j Agriculture Is rapidly increasing in Mai- J heur County. Around Ontario much lrrl- Ration work is in progress, and m ny , acres of land formerly used only for i range purposes are being found produc tive of greater wealth. This district ' represents in a degree the county. But the advent of agriculture in Maineur, or Its material Inorease.'-'does rot imply that thereby change is wrought against Re- allied with the ertock industry, and would naturally b affected by stock interest?, even though It wero accepted that farm ers were all PepullTts. The latter con- . cluMon is fir from actual conditions m .Eastern Oregon, this year. Farmers as a rule favor another four years of Re rubllcan prosperity. Fusion was very strong in Malheur four years ago Out of leas than 1000 votes cast, Br) an received two to MoK'nlev's co McKinley received 312, Bryan R? with eight for the-Prohibition ticket a d 15 for Buckaer and Palmer on the Gold Democratic ticket. Fifteen did not rep resent the entire Gold Democratic strength af th county, as some were known to cast their ballots for the Re publican candidate. Most, if nit al', of th's (drength I now regarded as strait Republican. S sight Mlddls-of-the-Road voters were always tcarce, as neither Jhn C Luce, with his continued .sup Trt of- a losing cause, nor John C.

There are several other industries to attract the attention of the laborer. The coal mines of the- county are paying better wages than a few years ago. Farm bands com mand $5 per month more than in ISSt, and there are several hundred people whi. share this benefit, as agricultural pur suits are carried on largely. Building, both in dry and on farm, has gone on apace, and carpenters have "been In great demand. Another story: Any man In Coos County who wants to work, if he will put forth the proper effort, can And two jobs awaiting him. The prosperity of the masses means good times for the entire. section. It is truly so In Coos. Merchants never met their bills so easily, und their credit was never on such a firm basis as It Is today. They generally report credit business as fast developing, while bad bills are not counted upon at aft. Most of the mtll3 and other manufacturing Industries have added hew machinery within the past few years and Increased their output. Closely connected with Portland and San Fran cisco, they have reaped some of the ben efits of the trade accruing from, the ac quisition of the Philippines, and find a ready sale for products which wero re cently a drug upon the market. And thereby hangs another tale: The Investor In Coos County was never so well satisfied as now. A study of the election results In June is Interesting. Tongue, for Congress, re ceived 1057 votes, against 807 for Daly. The entire state Republican ticket -triumphed "by "very nearly as good majorities. In the- connty. only three Democrats were elected, and those were in every instance popular, competent officials re-elected. The Populists failed to pull through a single candidate, and It is generally conceded that 75 per cent havp gone to the Re publican ranks. Once howlers for caiam lry, they hope to redeem themselves by proving as good supporters of prosperity and an honest government. The situation summed up is about like this: Everybody is prosperous. The industrial develop-ment-of the country has been greater dur ing the past fjur years than In the pre- cHJtegf 2i: -money was never so plentiful or interest so low; Jobs so numerous or idle laborers so few, and as the story of Btortes. Coos County was never so fully convinced of Its duty toward tho Nation and the Republican party, as It Is at the present time, and will prove November 6 by rolling up a surprisingly large ma forlty for the McKinley and Roosevelt Electors. HOW EASTERN OREGON WILL GO. Hon. Tllxnon Ford Has Stronc Hopes, of Republican Success. BAKER CTTT, Oct. 31. A good portion of last week, Hon. Tllmon Ford, Republi can candidate for Presidential Elector, was campaigning In Eastern Oregon. Naturally, he came In contact with all the different elements of the two parties, and- observed the course of eventB. it la hlB belief that the Republicans stand more than a fighting chance in the East ern Oregon counties, especially In the northeast where he has seen and -heard most. Speaking of the situation, he said yesterday: "I have great hopes for Republican suc cess. I cannot see what comfort the enemy can find in reviewing the condi tion of Eastern Oregon now and four years ago. It would requlro a more adroit twister than even Mr. Bryan has shown. himself to be to pervert the material ar gument on every hand. Prosperity is ap parent on every hand. Prices of all prod ucts raised here ere high. The section is a gold-producing one, and cannot suf fer by triumph of "the gold standard. Again, it has been my experience that wherever you -find stockmen this year you find Republicans. They cannot well be anything else." Mr. Ford spoke In Baker and Hunting ton, and Is booked for Haines, Elgin and Pendleton before the close of tho cam paign. He presents his case in a- plain, straightforward style that reaches the common "people. Facta and figures are held up to the farmer and stockman. Miners are plainly asked why they seek an untried policy. The West's immense Interests In the Nicaragua Canal, and Democratic Inconsistency In pretending to foster this great Work, and at the same time fighting the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, are held up for consideration. In fact, the Democratic platform is clearly proven to be a grfit collection of fallacies and un-American in every sense of the wOrd. Bis Rally Will Close Campaign.

IS DEFEJSE OF SALEM ELEVEN. Football Players Resent Statement That Enfecne Game Was Not Fair. SALEM. Oct, SI. The Salem-Eugene football game, played at Eugene last Sat urday, continues to be a prominent sub ject for discussion In amateur sporting circles In this city. The Salem boys claim to have played a fair ganv, and say they were JuBtly entitled Xo the decision- After reading the opinion or the game expressed In-today's Oregonlan by Coach Kaarsburg, of Eugene, Manager Durbln, of the Salem team, said: 'I am surprised that a man of Kaars burg's standing, who comss from a state where, amateur athletic are at their best. to a state where such sports are in their infancy, should play the baby act because his team has been defeated. But our boys are not feeling grieved over tne 'unfounded charges that they playeJl un fairly so much as they are over the accusatlbns that Rferee Bishop's decis ions were 'unfair and 'rotten. Clarence Bishop has .been a student, at Eugene for sever?! years, and was selected to referee this game, at the suggestion of the Eugene manager. He was elected captain of the Eugene team for tho year 1S00, but on ac count of Tjusiness affairs he was com pelled to tender his resignation and sever his connection with the team and school, much to -his regret. Ho Is a. member of the Caplfol Amateur Athletic Club, and we -tried to get him to play with, our football team in the game with Eugene but ha refused to play against his old team, saying that they were all personal friends of his and former football asso ciates. I c6nslder that this controversy subsequent to tho gam is mere boy's talk, and not -sportsmanlike. Neither the Eugene team. Its manager or coach en tered any protest as to unfair playing of decisions until after the game, and it soems to me that they wish to gain a reputation through newspaper notoriety." Salem Wants a Return Game. Manager F. W. Durbin, of the Capitol Amateur Athletic Club football team, has sent to the Eugene Guard the following communication and challenge: "Would sou be kind enough to give space in your valuable paper for the in closed challenge? The Capitol Amateur .Athletic football team dislikes very much to Issue the challenge,, but we have been forced into the matter from newspaper reports from your city. I assure you there Is no 111-f eclirg existing In our boys, for they feel that they were royally treated while In your college town, but it seems that the citizens of Eugene aro very ungrateful towards Mr. Clarence Bishop, who acted" as referee In the game of the 27thr Inst. "We feel that Mr. Bishop has been done a irreat Injustice by the several news paper correspondents from your city, and we only ask for a return game to show that we are Eugene's superior." Tne challenge Is addressed to L. 1. Goodrich, and reads as follows: "The Capitol Amateur Athletic rootball team hereby challenges the U. of O. foot ball team for a return game, to be played, on any gridiron In the- State of Oregon, at any convenient date, and will agree to accept any referee who Understands the game, or you may submit three names and we 'will submit the same number under seal, and if we fall to agree then We will make a choice outside of th state. In other words, we will agree to almost any terms in order to get a return game." Enecne Military Clnt. pTJGENE, Or Oct. 31.

Jackson was charged with the bfTeUse of assault and battery committed upon a woman at Chemawa. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced "by Justice of the Peace JO'Don ald to pay a fine of 20 or be imprisoned in tho county all 10 days. He has served seven days of his time and Is now striv ing for his release on the grounds that his- crime was committed On United Stales property, and that, therefore, the State of Oregon has no jurisdiction to try the case.

In answer to the contention that the state has no jurisdiction over a crim6 committed on the Federal grounds at Che mawa, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Mc- 1 wary ciaimea tnat tne state has surren dered to the general Government Its right of eminent domain only, and not its Juris diction, and that the state surrenders Its jurisdiction only in cases of Indian res ervations, forts, arsenals and Government docks, and not to lands occupied by Indian schools and Federal postomce buildings.
