touch with politics predicts much of a
saajority. The Tace Is fairly trren, with
odds leaning well towards Republican

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

Malheur's political status is best deter

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?,

Bnt- even now men are scarce. 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.

suits are carried on largely. Building,
both in dry and on farm, has gone on
apace, and carpenters have "been In great

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

A study of the election results In June
is Interesting. Tongue, for Congress, re

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

convinced of Its duty toward tho Nation

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.

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."

Habeas Corpus Proceeding-.
Judge R p. Boise, of Department
No, 2 of the Circuit, Court, this
afternoon tried a habeas ocrpus pro
ceeding to test the legality of the im
prlsonmenfc of Samuel Jackson, a student
at the Chemawa Indian Bchool. 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.
Judge Boise heard the arguments anJ.
withheld his decision until tomorrow,
when but two days of the sentence will
remain.
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.
It Is said that if Judgo Raise should hold
that the state has no jurisdiction, the,
Federal authorities may step in and give
Jaoksdn greater punishment than was in
flicted "by the Justice's court.
