"H K THE MORNING OBEGdNIAN, SATURDAY, MARCH 22, 1902. TEN COUNTIES VOTE Primaries Today Throughout the State. GOVERNORSHIP WAR STILL ON Mr. Johns aud His Candidacy Porter and Brovrnell in ClackaniBO Moody and WIll- iamioa. Primary elections will be held today in 10 counties and upon the result will de pend to a considerable extent the com plexion of the stite convention. The counties are Baiter. Clackamas. Clatsop, Douglas. Gilliam, Jackson, Lane. Sherman, XTnIon and Yamhill. The counties acting today will have a representation of 112 delegates in the convention, out of a to tal of 343. Candidates are anxiously awaiting the news from such counties as are considered doubtful or uncertain. The county conventions will meet next week to name delegates to the state convention. From what can be gathered here among politicians from the several counties who have been here in conference with party leaders, a fairly accurate idea can be gained of the situation. In Baker County the issue is anti-Simon and antl-Geer. C. A. Johns is a candi date for Governor and is said to be lead ing the antl-Geer forces. The Con gressional fight Is clearly defined, and it may be that the delegation will be defi nitely pledged to either Williamson or .Moody. Mr. Williamson has made his light with the antls, and of necessity Moody has thrown his fortunes in with the SImon-Geer opposition. Mr. William son expects to be in Baker City today, and will confer with his friends, who are making the fight for him. In Clackamas County there will be no opposition In the primaries, and State Senator George C. Brownell and his friends will control the county conven tion. The Issue there has not been de fined outside of advocacy of L. L. Porter for State Printer, and the re-election of Senator Erownell. The delegation will not be pledged In the fight for Governor, and will probably be used to further the Interests of the two candidates mentioned. In Clatsop County State Senator Charles W. Fulton will undoubtedly carry the primaries. There is no opposition to him, except that contained in a poflble fusion at the June election. The attitude of the Clatsop delegation will depend upon the advantage to which it can be used in furthering Mr. Fulton's desire for indorse ment for "United States Senator. It is definitely known that there will not be ' a vote in the delegation for Governor Geer, unless Senator Fulton has experi enced a great change of heart. He has been reported as declaring his antigo nism to Geer In emphatic language. It is quite on the cards that Mr. Furnish may receive the support of the Clatsop dele gates, if Mr. Furnish can deliver his sup port to Fulton for Senator. It is expected that Douglas County not only will be antl-Geer and anti-Simon, but may be pledged to Judge J. F. Full erton, of Roseburg, for Governor. There has been considerable talk of late of Judge Fullerton looming up as a strong dark horse, If neither Geer nor Furnish wins on the first ballot. Gilliam County fs generally credited with being in the Williamson column, which would indicate an antl-Geer dele gation to the state convention. From what can be learned, there will not be. any considerable contest in Gilliam, and Mr. Williamson's friends will win hands down. In Jackson County, H. B. Ankeny, him self a receptive candidate for Governor, is making a strong fight for Geer. A. S. Hammond, who has been flirting with the Attorney-Generalship bee, is leading the anti-Geer anti-Simon forces, and will put up a strong fight for control. It is be lieved, as was stated yesterday, that An keny expects to receive Geer's support if the latter cannot "secure the nomina tion. State Senator Kuykendall and Repre sentative Harris are making the fight in Lane County against Geer and Simon, and are reported to have the situation well in hand. It is understood that the Geer forces are without leaders, but they have been waging an active campaign and pro fess to be confident of victory. In the event of the anti-Geer faction being vic torious, it is conceded that Kuykendall and Harris will be returned to the Leg islature. Sherman County has always been re garded as being for Moody and Geer, and Union is believed to be strongly antl. In Yamhill" a hard fight has been carried on. Dr. J. F. Calbreath, superintendent of the State Asylum for the Insane, has been in charge of the Geer fight there, and has been unusually active. Dr. Calbreath Is popular in the county, but there Ij an antl-Geer anti-Simon sentiment that Is exceedingly strong, and Governor Geer's workers have had considerable trouble on this account. WHAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE DOING Chamberlain for Governor Hunting for Headquarters. The Democrats have not made up a slate other than District Attorney Cham berlain for Governor, his nomination for the head of the ticket having been con ceded from the first. The name of ex Governor Pennoyer has been used In con nection with a half dozen or more places on the ticket. He has been talked of for Congressman, for the State Senate, for Mayor, and for other honors. Of a cer tainty, he cannot accept all, and to ma,ke matters worse for the Democratic slate fixers, the ex-Governor would prefer being the nominee for the Supreme bench in a year when Indications point to Demo cratic victory. Republican prosperity has been Im pressed upon Chairman Sam White, of the Democratic State Central Committee. Mr. White would have opened headquar ters here a fortnight ago If suitable quar ters could have been found. But all the desirable locations are taken, and he has been from place to place until he is tired of the seeking. Still he keeps ud the search, and when he succeeds In finding it the faithful will be notified, and Demo cratic thunder will come forth. The Dem ocrats are apparently sincere In their be lief that this will be an off year for the Republican party, and they are preparing to flood the malls with campaign literature and make systematic effort to reach every voters A local leader said yesterday that the Democratic city, county and state tickets will be along straight party lines, and no fusion movement or citizens' tick et will be listened to. But the Democrats are coyly coquetting with anything that looks like a defection from other parties, and the present-time intensity for simon pure Democracy may undergo a change before the time comes for naming the tickets. D. Sorcmon for Constable. D. Sorenson is a candidate for Constable in the West Portland district. His name was confused with that of George Soren son in The Oregonlan yesterdaj'. Found Through The OreROnlan. OAK POINT, Wash.. March 18. (To the Editor.) It certainly pays to read The. Oregonlan, for you often see in Its columns something that repays you for a whole year's subscription. Having missed a certain Mr. Woods from hlB accustomed haunts along the Lower Co lumbia, I knew not where he was until I read in The Oregonlan that be was Junketing on the historic Isle of St. Helena, and that his hotel bills were be ing paid by that greatest of all philan thropists, the British Government. But he seems to be unappreclatlve and thank less for the watchful care the British Government Is keeping over him, and 'petulantly inquires from his friends here in Oregon when he is going to be allowed to pay his own hotel bills and eat salmon and potatoes on the banks of the ma jestic Columbia. But Mr. Woods can con solo himself with the reflection that a greater than he, yea, a greater than his famous chief, Cronje, was once enter tained by the British Government amidst the scenes where he Is now rusticating, and a more faithful ward and watch was kept over the great Corslcan than there la over Mr. Woods ana his companions. He has now plenty of time to chew the bitter cud of reflection, and if he ever gets back to Miller's Sands, in his spare moments when he is not hauling in the royal chlnook, he can amuse himself by taking a pot shot at the sea lions that disport themselves off the sands on the warm Summer afternoons and imagine he Is taking a shot at the British, whom he went to South Africa to help whip, but we doubt ntft that In future Mr. Woods will be quite willing to let those "who make the quarrel be the" only men to fight."

It is reported that eight fishermen were at the "towhead" near Cathlamet a few evenings ago waiting their turns" to make a drift. It Is also j reported on good authority that a cold storage concern in Astoria has almost three carloads of Spring salmon frozen ready to ship to New York. The honest, law-abiding fisherman says the poachers now sell their fish to the I cold-ntornge men for 4 cents per pound and take the chances (not very desperate ones) of having their nets confiscated anil being fined. When the season opens they will demand a higher price from the cannerymen, and so put them In un fair competition with those who deal In the unlawfully caught fish. There has been a new Fish Commls- sloner appointed In Washington lately, i and he has not been In evidence on the . river yet. If fishermen are allowed to, fish all through the close season and cant dispose of their catch without any troubla It Is hard to see what Is the good of hav ing a close season. DEMOCRATS TO RALLY.

CITY LOSES STREET CASE MILTON W. SMITH "WINS niS FIGHT AGAINST REPAIRS. City Council Followed Charter of 1803, Instead of 180S, in Giving; Notice of Improvement. Judge Cleland yesterday in the suit of Milton W. Smith ct al. against the City of Portland, decided that the ordinance approved October 30. 1S9S, declaring it necessary to repair Hood street, between Sheridan and Curry streets, and direct ing the cost to be assessed upon the ad jacent property under sections 124 and 125 of the charter of 1KC, does not conform to the charter of 1S9S, and the proceed ings must be held to be Invalid. The de cision was concurred l by Judges George and Sears. The bill for the charter of 1S9S was pre sented to the Governor October 15, 1S9S, the same day the Legislature adjourned. The Governor deposited the bill with the Secretary of State October 17, 1SSS. and the court is of the opinion that it became a law at that date, since it contained an emergency clause. This was three days before the Hood-street repair ordinance was approved, so the 189S. and not the 1SS3 charter was in force at that time. The material question In the case was concerning the notice. The provisions of LA ROCHEFOUCAULD ' rtl? -kTiA f-Viat thn rnv-nA 1a itKllth A 10 days, and that the City Engineer within three days from first publication put at. each end of improvement, "notice of street work," In letters one Inch high, which notice shall contain a statement of the time within which remonstrance may be made. None of these latter things were dpne. The court referred to the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Cook vs, tho City of Portland, where it was held that a repair is to be deemed an im provement whenever the Council declares that it shall be at the cost of adjacent property, and It necessarily follows that the same notice Is required and the same right of remonstrance given. The court therefore found that the Council must give notice, which was not done. The amount of money involved In this case Is not large, but the decision Is im portant from a legal standpoint, as the Common Council, it Is said, has contin ued to follow the charter of 1SS3, Instead of the 13S charter, and has not given notice, as required In street repair cases. EXECUTORS ARE SUSTAINED. . Indsre Cnlfe Refuse to Remove A. G. Bnrlccr and A. C. E.mmonn. x The petition for the removal of A. G. Barker and A. C. Emmons as executors of the will of Ida M. Bryant, deceased, was denied yesterday by Judge Cake. Julia S. Bllnn, grandmother of Bllnn S. Bryant, a minor heir, objected to the accounts of the executors. The minor was represented by Robert G. Morrow; as guardian ad litem. Judge Cake, in deciding the case, said: "There was no evidence which would show the court that there has been any mismanagement of the estate. During the 12 years that Mr. Emmons has been In charge of affairs there has been noth ing more serious in the way of errors than would necessarily creep Into an estate. The court believes that the ex ecutors are wholly and entirely exoner ated. The estate has been well handled, according to the showing that has been made. The order of the court will there fore be that the petition for the removal of the executors Is denied." In passing upon a hearing for an ac- rendered a somewhat similar decision. SIRS. FERRIS GETS HER PROPERTY Judge Calce Decide to End Gnnrd lanahip of Thomas Gibbons. Mrs. Margaret A. Ferris was restored to the possession of her real property yesterday by Judge Cake, and an order was also made that her sniardlan.

Mrs, Ferris and her husband were in the courtroom with "their attorney, J. H. Hltchlngs, and Gibbons and his coun- J sel, S. C. Spencer and W. M. Davis, were A Marvelous Spring Health Giver and Invigorator. Paine's Celery Compound Purifies the BIod As Nothing Else Can Do. It Nourishes the Tired Bnin and Braces the Weak Nerves. Painl's Celery Compound purifies the blood as nothing else can do; It Is Nature's train food; It builds up weak and shat tered nerves; It Is the world's best and surest health-giver. Paine s Celery Compound, taken during the opening of Spring, has a remarkable efficacy In making sick people well and strong. It makes short work of debility and nervous exhaustion. It quickly drives out neuralgia, rheumatism, sleeplessness and dyspepsia from the system. Its vir tues promptly banish kidney disease and liver troubles. It enables all weak and run-down men and women to cast off their besetting troubles and gives them a happy and vigorous life. Rev. J. V. Rlcket.ts, Sugar Grove, O., cheerfully testifies as follows: "I have been a sufferer from dyspepsia, attended with biliousness and constipation, for a number of years. During the last year It became so much worse that I had a misery In my stomach nearly -all the time, and my flesh left me, until I was a mere skeleton. I have used four bottles of Palne's Celery Compaund, and am now at my normal weight. Tou cannot recom mend Palne's Celery Compound too highly for chronic dyspepsia." Mrs. Jennie H. Steele, Vaughns, Ga., who was rescued from the agonies of a terrible disease and sure death, says: "I have suffered for ten years with what tho doctors called neuralgia of the liver, and never had any relief until I began to take Palne's Celery Compound. 1 have taken about three bottles and have not suffered any since I first began to use It. 1 feel that Palne's Celery Compound saved my life." DIAMOND DYES. Purest. Strongest. Simplest. Fastest of all dyes. also there. There was some opposition by the latter to the d'scharge of the guard ian, and an attempt was made .to show that Mrs. Ferris was not fully recov ered. On the witness-stand Mrs. Ferris showed she was entirely capable of man aging her own affairs, and Judge Cake decided that it would bo an injustice to continue the guardianship longer. The court, however. expressed an opinion that Gibbons had acted for the best In terests of Mrs. Ferris. This case has been several times before the court, and Ferris sued Gibbons for damages for alienating the affections of his wife, and lost the suit. There Is a mortgage foreclosure suit now pending In which Mrs. Ferris Is the defendant. The money, 51000. was lertt to her by Gib bons. It Is possible that the, parties will now ?t together and settle their differ ences. LOSES $5000 CLAI3I. Georgre I. Gibxon Cannot Recover From Charles O. Smith Estate. Tse claim of George L. Gibson for $5000 against the estate of Charles O. Smith, deceased, was disallowed vraffMnv hv Judge- Cake, who held that It Is barred by me statute or limitations. Smith lived In Centralia. "Va3h.. where his estate was administered upon by hit' wife after his death and closed up. S. B. Huston, attorney, afterwards made appli cation In Multnomah County for the ap pointment of an administrator of the es tate, and asked for an order authorizing the sale of certain property. In order to realize funds to pay the Gibson claim. Judge Cake stated that it appeared that Gibson did lend Smith the money, but at the time of the death of the latter re fused to file any claim against the estate, and said that he would not do so. The es tate was administered upon according to the laws of the State of Washlngtoa. Gib son was a friend of Mr. Smith, and lived with the Smith family after the death of Charles O. Smith. He knew that the es tate was In course of probate, but did not make any claim. Whether or not a note is due when the maker dies, the payee must present his claim. Gibson did not do so. The court held that, in view of the circumstances, the claim was barred by the statute of limitations. COURT RESTRAINS HUSDAXD. ratrlck P'Connor Ordered N'ot to In terfere With Wife. Annie O'Connor has filed suit against Patrick O'Connor for a divorce, and Judge Frazer has signed an order restraining O'Connor from lnterferring with his wife or going about the premises occupied by her during the pendency of the suit. This was done because Mrs. O'Connor filed an affidavit reciting that her husband frequently threatened to kill her should she attempt to get a divorce. The litigants were married In San Fran cisco In 1SS3 and have six children. Mrs. O'Connor in her complaint charges her husband with using abusive language to her on many occasions, and says that In September. 1S9S, he choked her until her throat was black and blue. At another time she alleges that ho struck her, break ing two of her ribs. There are numerous other such charges, anfl It Is also alleged that O'Connor is a gross and habitual drunkard. WHALLEY ESTATE MUST PAY. Claim of ?377 Allovred to Helra of M. W. Fechhelracr. The claim of 5377 filed by the heirs of M. W. Fechhelmer. deceased, against the estate of J. "W. AVhalley, deceased, on ac count of repairs to the Casino Opera House, now Cordray's Theater, was al lowed yesterday by Judge Cake. Whalley and the Fechhelmer estate owned the property jointly. Whalley refused to pay his share of the cost of certain alterations and repairs, on the ground that he did not consent to the same, but continued to draw his share of the profit. Judge Cake concluded that TVhalley's estate Is liable. Divorce for A. T. Marklcyl A. T. Markley was granted a divorce from Julia Markley by Judge Sears yes terday on the" ground of desertion.

Portland Doy Constitute Hlmiielt an Information. Bureau. ST. LOUIS, March 16. (To the Editor.) St. Loulsns seem to know nothing ol Oregon. They Inquire about It as If it were some region the other side of the north pole. " nen I say that I am from Portland, not Portland, Me., a number have said: "Let's see er that's In "Wash ington?" "Not on your life," I reply, as a native Oregonlan should. The Idea Is even more prevalent that It is very cold j in urcgon. .reopie stare wnen i ieu them that the past Winter here In St. Louis is the coldest I have ever experi enced. And yet I suppose I would be stumped on Alabama or New Mexico This is a big country to know all about. But Is this Ignorance here concerning Oregon any Index to the notion that most of the country has of our state? If It is, then It Is high time something were done to change this state of affairs. I remem ber last year some talk of a movement advocated by Governor Geer looking to the advertisement of Oregon throughout the country with a view to Increasing Im migration If I recollect his words on some occasion they were: "What Ore gon needs Is people, more people." Corresponding to the general Ignorance about Oregon there is a lively curiosity to know more about all Its commercial and Industrial affairs. Its agriculture and climate. This curiosity Is fine soil .In which to sow judicious advertising liter ature. Whatever the methods may be that are employed to awaken In the East Interest in a d'stant Western State, like Oregon, I cannot sec but that they would boar rich frblt If systematically applied. With my edition of the 1900 New Year's Illustrated Oregonlan and this year's also I form an Information bureau myself on a very small scale. In fact, I dare say my trlends get very tired of my "hot air" about the wonderful mountains and scenery, forests and rains of that mystic, far-off Western country. When I get as far as, "In Oregon we do so and so," they know that they'll have to be bored for at least Ave minutes'. SAMUEL. E. ELIOT. MANY GO TO LIBRARY.

I needed a good rest lo put me right; but instead of taking it, went to work in. an omce, with very confining duties. "My health grew no better; I felt unfit for work and at night would lie awake several hours before sleep would come. The appetite was gone entirely. One morning a new dish appeared on the table, Grape-Nuts with cream. We all thought it an excellent food, and I not only enjoyed breakfast that day, but din ner and supper as well. "This rather surprised me. Since that I have made the food a regular article of diet. I keep a box on. nand at thj. office and often lunch on Grape-Nuts and cream instead of going home to dinner. "Although it was in-the summer when I started the use of the food, it was not long before I had gained 15 pounds, and I know ir is from the use of this food that I can stand so well the indoor work. My health is now perfect; sleep sound and enjoy my meals, but find 1 do not need to eat so much volume ol other food while eating Grape-Nut?. "A short time ago I thought Grape-Nuts were commencing to disagree with me, but found it was because I was eating more than you recommend.

(To the Editor.) I am surprised at this utterance In your edi torial this morning: , It Is a rare thins to find a Jew who does not hate a Catholic as cordially as the Catholics hate the Jews. I have never yet met a Jew who, as such, hated a Catholic as such, nor a Catholic who hated a Jew because of the two facts of religion. Usually Catholics and Jews suffer persecution side by side, and are largely sympathetic, and I do not believe there are any two classes of wide ly differing professional theologians who get along so harmoniously or with such cordial good will and respect for each other as the Catholic prelate and the Jew ish rabbi. I have mixed a great deal with all classes of religious believers during my 35 years In tho United States, and I think I have found less public hatred and Intolerance for me oh account of my re ligion among the Jews than among any other class. After seeing your assertion this morning, I have been wondering since whether you or I have been the short sighted observer of facts. ' FRANK DAVEY. Sale of Valnalilc Painting. NEW 'YORK. March 21.
