10 THE MORNIKG OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, APRIL 15, 1902; H. 0. SMITH NAMED Secretary. Republican State Central Committee. VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN PLANNED Headquarters in Benson Building Will Be Opened Thursday County Committee "Will Co-operute With Organization. The Republican state campaign will be fairly launched Thursday, -when i headquarters will be opened In Port- land. It Is expected that the Mult- f nomah County Committee will be In J close touch with the general organl- I zatlon, and that vigorous and effectle 1 methods will be the result. H C. Smith, of Po-tland, was jesterday named by Chairman Matthews as eec- i retary of the State Central Committee. X A The Republican State Central Committee will open headquarters In the Benson building. Fifth and Morrison, Thursday morning and the campaign will begin In earnest. Chairman "Walter F. Matthews has selected Herbert C. Smith, of this city, as .secretary of the committee, and his choice meets with approval in all quarters. Mr. Smith is a competent, sys tematic political worker. He has large acquaintance throughout the state, and he understands what is to be done In a campaign, and how to do It. He served as County Clerk of Multnomah County from 1894 until 189S. and left an excellent 'recorjd as a public official. The duties of secretary of the State Central Committee .are many and arduous, requiring unlim ited tact and skill. Mr. Smith will com mence his work at once, as the committee has a great deal of accumulated business which It becomes necessary to dispose of Immediately. The five rooms which will comprise the state headquarters are being papered, car peted and put In attractive condition for the accommodation of the hundreds of vis itors who wHl swarm In and out between now and the time of the June election. The rooms are conveniently arranged, and all who have visited them believe that Mr. Matthews has been wise in his selec tion. The officers of the State Ctntral Commit tee will be busy men during the entire campaign, as they intend to leave no stones unturned nor doubtful voters not persuaded. They will keep in close touch with every nook and corner of the state, arrange the itineraries of campaign speak ers, distribute literature, and in general wage a battle for the success that is sure to come to the Republican party In the June elections. Although the state and county committees are entirely separate organizations, it is highly probable that the latter will open headquarters in the same building. In Judge Charles H. Carey the county committee has an able and effective campaigner, who can be de pended upon to wage a telling battle against the fusionista like the state campaign, the campaign in Multnomah County will be thorough In every detail, well calculated to smash the star-built hopes and Utopian fancies of the Simon k Republicans and Simon Democrats. The Democrats say that Chamberlain will make great gains In Multnomah County, and that hundreds of local Re publicans will vote for the Democratic candidate. The Republicans are not say ing much about the matter, but are wait ing for their opponents to bet a few pieces of money, all of which, and more, too, the Republicans declare they will coer.' The Democrats say little about betting, and" for this reason their talk about Chamberlain's winning sounds like the accustomed blast of Democratic "hot air." Those who have studied the con ditions of Multnomah politics for years say that Mr. Furnish will go out of the county with a large .majority. Some per sonal friends of Mr. Chamberlain, and some of the Simon Republicans, will prob ably vote for the Portland candidate. From all parts of the state come en couraging reports as to the popularity of the whole Republican ticket, -and they come from a class of men who are wide awake to the whole political situation. In Umatilla County there are some 4100 voters, and it Is estimated that Mr. Fur nish w ill w In by a majority of from i50 to 1000, running perhaps 300 votes ahead of the state ticket. Nearly every county east of the Cascades, including Lake and Klamath, will be found In the Furnish column. Baker, Harney, and Malheur are the only doubtful ones, and it is conceded that even in these Mr. Furnish has even chances. The Republicans of Baker. Har ney and Malheur will put up a strenuous campaign, and the fact that Mr. Furnish as an Eastern Oregon candidate may land him handsome majorities in all of them. Friends of the Pendleton man say that he will muster 5000 votes In the coun ties beyond the Cascades, and Democrats do not seem disposed to dispute the claim. If Mr. Chamberlain wins, he will have to carry Multnomah County, three-fourths of the Willamette "Valley and coast coun ties, and a large portion of Southern Oregon. How he can do so, in the light Qf the present circumstances, is somewhat of a mystery, but Captain Sam "White still "believes, or says he bel'eves. that Cham "berlain will take the trick. Marion, Yam liHl, Polk, Lane, Lincoln. Tillamook, Clat sop, Columbia and ' Clackamas Counties are sure Republican strongholds, and there -lfi. no reason to believe that Mr. Fur nlsh will not get the entire strength of his party in all of them. "Washington and Benton are on the doubtful list, but there Is no assurance that they will go for Chamberlain, whose only "sure thing" ap pears to be Linn County, where he once lived, and where Populists, Democrats and Fusocnits are still plentiful. In, Southern and Southwestern Oregon, the situation looks good from a Republican standpoint. Josephine being the only-county In which the Democrats appear to have an even chance. In Douglas County, the home of A. M. Crawford, Republican candidate for Attorney-General. Democrats say they anticipate victory, but Douglas, accord ing to her custom, will doubtless yield good Republican returns. All In all. the situation, as It presents Itself today. Is excellent from a Republican standpoint one that promises a fine majority In June George G. Bingham, who was one of Governor Geer's ardent supporters In Ma rlon County, was in Portland yesterday. Speaking to a representative of The Ore gonlan, he said: "Marion County will show handsome results for the entire Re publican ticket, especially for, Mr. Fur nish. Governor Geer's friends do not want it said of them that they are lacking in parts' prrfde and loyalty, and I assure you that Mr, Furnish will get the full support and the full vote of the "Merlon County Republicans. In regard to our county candidates, I feel reasonably sure that they will be elected"." Austin S. Hammond, of Medford, de feated candidate for the Republican nom ination for Attorney-General, wlip is in . the city, says that Jackson County will give Furnish and the remainder of the state ticket a safe majority. 4 Mr. Furnish, after spending several days in the city, took the 8:30 o'clock train for T Pendleton last evening. He -will remain at home for several dajs, transacting private business and getting ready for the hard campaign work that will follow. Mr. Fur nish has not announced his plans as yet, nor will he do so until he has conferred fully with the officers of the State Cen tral Committee, which he will do at the end of the present week, when he expects to return to Portland. Fusionista Have A Meet.lng'. A meeting of the fusion representatives was held at the headquarters of the Dem ocratic state central committee last night, but nothing was done, or at least nothing that the men present cared to make public The committee of five which Chairman Van Zante Is to appoint flnrl Tt-ilr'h wHl fAMrYn Tirhaftiai ia nom ination of Sheriff, County Auditor andN County Treasurer go to the Democrats or the Simonites, wa not announced, as was expected, and the delegates talked exclusively about other matters. Mr. Van Zante has experienced a great deal of difficulty In discovering Democrats who will accept places on the committee. It was generally understood yesterday af ternoon that he had found only three who were willing to serve, and he was unable to find two more to make up the necessary number. AGAINST RIVER RESORT. Citizens of Brooklyn "Will Mnke a Protest. There will be a mass meeting of the taxpayers and citizens of Brooklyn and the neighborhood of GS8 Mllwaukle, near Karl street, tonight, to take steps toward preventing the prospective establishment of a saloon and river resort on the hill opposite Robs Island on the east side of the Willamette. It has come to the knowledge of the people of that part of the city that a large tract of land has been purchased for this purpose, that it has been cleared and is being prepared for a resort of an objectionable kind. The residents of this district are very much aroused over the prospect, and at this coming meeting there will be an expres sion as to the best method of proceeding. Remonstrances will be prepared in ad vance for circulation against granting a license to. sell liquor at this place, and a strong committee appointed to present the matter to the license committee of the City Council. It is felt by property-owners that a re sort will be Injurious, and they desire to stop the matter before it goes too far and before the owners of the land have expended their money on the same. Jo seph A. Strowbridge, Jr., and other citi zens and property-owners have taken the matter up. So far no buildings have been put up on the ground. It has been cleared and preparations made for terracing. PERSONAL MENTION. Edmund C. Glltner is In the city from Salem. Secretary of State F. L Dunbar Is In Portland. Thomas H.

Sad Case of Yonnff Artist. NEW YORK, April 14. With his mind a wreck and his physical condition bor dering on collapse, S Meyron Helcker, a talented young artist, has been taken to the State Hospital for the Insane at Tren ton. N. J. On October 31 Hecker disap peared from Woodbine, and it was feared lie had committed suicide. Six days later, a hunter walking through a swamp sev eral miles away found the artist fast In a morass, from which1 he was unable to drag himself. Wild with thirst and hunger, he had gnawed twigs of bushes and scooped holes in the earth to get at the moisture. His clothing was torn to shreds All efforts to restore his reason have been unavailing; SWALLOWED PARIS GREEN DESPAIRING BLIXD "WOMAN AT TEMPTS SUICIDE.

Mclrvine, a blind woman living with her husband In the Winters building, on the corner of East Davis street and Grand avenue, made an at tempt to commit suicide Saturday night by taking Paris green. She took the stuff while her husband was absent from the room, and when he ascertained what she had done he hastily summoned Dr. Batch eller, who found the woman In a state bordering on collapse. At first she resisted. his efforts to ad minister an antidote, and said that she r 1 WELL-KNOWN REPUBLICAN DEFINES HIS ATTITUDE sllllsslllllllllllllflK9ssHelissEI9slBlslsll FREDERICIC W. MULKEY. PORTLAND. Or.. April 14. 1002. (To the Editor.) I notice in the columns of this morning's Oregonlan the mention of my iame as a probable nominee oh the fusion ticket for Joint Senator for the Counties of Multnomah and Clack amas. At no time has a nomination on a fusion ticket been considered by me.

I l- desired to be permitted to die, but she , was finally relieved. Dr. Batcheller did not find indications of the Paris green, but said she must have taken it, judg ing from the condition In which he found her. Yesterday she had nearly recovered .from the effects of the attempt, and will soon be entirely well. She anq her hus band have roomed in this building for the past eight months. They were from Vancouver. Despondency caused by Ill ness is given as the cause for the at tempt. GRANGERS' EDUCATIONAL MEETING It "Will Be Held by Eveninfe Star Grange, Multnomah Hall, May 3.

The geographical arrangement of the Democratic ticket Is bad from the standpoint of all those who think that all Important sections of the 'state ought to be represented in the distribution of offiefs. The above map shows exactly what was done by the late state convention. No nomination went to any point eouth of Eugene. Southern Oregon being entirely without a place. The Lower Columbia Valley fared no better, except that Portland gets the Governor and United States Senator. Southeastern Oregon Is a great blank. The Democrats will doubtless be able to make the excuse that they could not be expected to consider geography In the make-up of the ticket. They had to talte candidates wherever they could get them. there are five Granges, the latest one being at Portsmouth. The meetings are devoted to home culture and educational discussions, and at this open meeting of Evening Star there will be quite a num ber of guests who are not members. MARKERS FOR GRAVES. Captain McMlllcn Pleased Indian War Veterans "Will Be Remembered. Captain J. H. McMlllen, after whom Camp McMlllen, No. 1, Is appropriately named. Is very much Interested In the movement to mark the graves of the In dian War veterans. He knows from ex perience what the pioneers had to en counter when they went forth to defend the settlers on the outskirts from the at tacks of the savages. When the news of the Whitman massacre reached Oregon City, Captain McMlllcn was working on the pour mill of Governor Abernethy, and when the call was Issued for a company of 50 he was one of the foremost of the 48 who responded to that call, his exam ple being followed by a number of young men who were waiting for him to make a start. He said yesterday that he heartily ap proves the design that has been adopted, and hopes soon to see the grave of every Indian War veteran marked In all the cemeteries of the state. "Their memory deserves to be perpetuated and their resting-places'! designated for the benefit of our chl!dren,'sald the Captain. ,vThe design is such that it can be cheaply duplicated in cast Iron, and as soon as the pattern has beeri made 100 will be cast as a starter." Salmon Tront la Columbia. Fine salmon trout are being caught in the Columbia River about half a mile east of the long bridge on the Oregon side. George Knott was out there the other day and caught 12 very fine salmon trout. The fishing is done from the beach, sometimes with long poles, and more often with long lines, which are thrown out as far as possible. The fish are as gamy as found anywhere, and It takes time and skill to land the big fellows. The salmon trout seem to go In schools up the river, and the fisherman Is fortu- i -A Yiate who casts his hook at the right time and place when a school of salmon trout Is moving along tho shore. Rny Pnlmer in Chlcnso. x Ray Palmer, formerly pastor of the Second Baptist Church, who resigned to accept a call to the Baptist Church In Chll licothe. Mo., has changed to Chicago, ac cording to recent accounts, and entered the temperance work. There is some talk of having him make the address on the oc casion of the dedication of the Woodmen of tho World Hall, which takes place May 9. He has expressed desire to do so. MllTrauIcle Incorporation. The proposed incorporation of Mllwau kle. the old town south of Sellwood, has been held up, pending the decision of the court on the injunction suit. It Is expect ed that the matter will be heard by Judge McBrlde at Oregon City this week. In the meanwhile the officers selected at the town meeting are on the anxious seat. Lecture by Dr. Hill. A stereoptlcon lecture will be given at the University Park Methodist Episcopal Church next Friday evening by Rev. Dr. E. P. Hill, pastor of the First Presby terian Church.

Pine Market In California and Ari zona for These Products 500,000 to GroVf ers. Oregon has exported fully 1S00 carloads of last season's crop of potatoes and onions, which Is an Increase of aX least 25 per cent over any previous year. The movement southward has been very heavy, and it is still In progress, though the season will soon set limits to the shipment of these commodities. Arizona and California are the chief markets for these vegetables. Of course some go north and some east to the Intermountaln States, but the heavy demand comes from the arid South, Where production Is com paratively small and mining industries enable the people to buy at good prices from those who have to spare. Eighteen hundred carloads make 2700 tons, 540,000 sacks, 54,000,000 pounds. This Is over and above the demand for home consumption. It Is estimated that the potatoes and onions sent out of Oregon this year of last year's crop will have brought more than $500,000 to the grow ers, aside from all warehouse and trans portation charges. The extra movement this year Is attributed to the fact that higher prices than usual prevail, for last year's crop was not abnormally large. When prices are low, large quantities of potatoes are fed to stock and do not get to market in the form of vegetables at all. Stock has had to go without market able potatoes this year, and the quantity of tubers shipped has been correspond ingly large. Only the human animal will consume onions, however, but the pro ducer will manage to ship more when prices are high than when they are low, and last season's crop was a very good one to snip. A few months ago the news appeared that Oregon would be cut out of the Ari zona market for its potatoes, because Col orado had an extraordinary yield and could ship Into Arizona on better terms than Oregon could. But this did not In the least Interfere with the demand for the Oregon product. A big crop in Colo rado simply means that Colorado will come so much nearer supplying her own needs; she never has any potatoes to send to market outside the state. The Southern market is safely Oregon's. FURTHER TRACK IMPROVEMENT. O. R. & N. to Resume Ballasting: and Laying; New Rails. The O. R. & N. Co. will soon resume Its work of track ballasting through the Blue Mountains, and will perfect 100 miles of track this year, from Huron, where last year's work halted, to Enclna. Hu ron Is a little more than half way from Pendleton to. La Grande, and Encina Is about 10 miles beyond Baker City. Some of the gratvel for this ballasting will be taken from the pit at Umatilla, but the greater part Is expected to be obtained at a new gravel pit to be 'opened near North Powder. This Is so situated that It is not deemed wise to open it until the season's moisture shall be out of the way. It will require 250,000 cubic yards of gravel to ballast that stretch of track, and the service of several trains will be need ed a number of weeks. President Mohler takes much pride In the track that receives this finishing touch. Somebody In the East sent him recently some prints showing, the newly ballasted track of the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad, which Is re garded by railroad men as a model of track finishing. Mr. Mohler Immediately had a series of photographs taken show ing the O. R. & N. track that was bal lasted last Fall with Its new heavy rails. At no point does the O. R. & N. track suf fer by comparison with that of the New York Central. The completion of an other 100 miles of ballasting will leave lit tle of the O. R. & N. main line below the highest modern standard. New rails to relay this track are now on the way from the mills. Modest En dlngr to Die Suit. ST. PAUL, April 14. Judge Kelley has filed a decision In the suit of Herbert W. Pearson against the Great Northern Rail way Company. He awards Mr. Pearson $500 on account of unpaid salary and judgment for his costs and disbursements. This Is a modest ending of an action to recover $1,500,000. Mr. Pearson sued James J. Hill and the Great Northern Railroad Company on an alleged contract, claim ing that he was employed by the railroad company to operate coal fields In Mon tana and Washington. His claim was that he was entitled to a percentage of the value of the fields which he claims to have discovered. The railway company declared that the coal fields which Pear son claimed to have discovered were well known long before he found them, and ob jected to paying the royalty demanded. The $500 which is allowed Is for salary for the time he was engaged by the road In making the search. Rushing; Immigration Business. A. Br C. Dennlston, of Seattle, general passenger agent for .the Great North ern Railway, is at the Portland, ac companied by his wife. Mr. Dennlston says the way settlers are pouring Into the country served by the Great Northern lines Is a caution. At one little station in the Wenatchee Val ley, which was scarcely more than a water tank a year ago, settlers have come In and occupied the country, and the new houses rise back on the ridges and plows are turning hundreds of acres of soil for the first time. Since the first of March a carload a day of Immigrants' movables have been received at that sta tion, and they are still coming. Numer ous other places are the same. This beats the record for Immigration movements on the Great Northern. Control of Louisville & Nashville. NEW YORK, April 14. Countless ru mors dealing with the reported change of control of the Louisville & Nashville Rail road were current today, but nothing In the way of an official or semiofficial state ment was obtainable. John W. Gates and his associates are repqrted tp own or con trol more than 200,000 shares of Louisville & Nashville, of which the total share cap ital Is 600.000 shares. Conservative belief Inclines to the opinion, however, that the Southern Interests will soon be found dominant in Louisville. The strength of Illinois Central during today's early ses elon of the stock market gave rise to the belief In some Quarters that the road would be found In control of Louisville. The best Information falls to bear this out. Settles Ownership of Road. PHILADELPHIA, April 14. Over 153, 000 shares of the stock of the Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf Railroad has been de posited with the Glrard Trust Company In favor of the sale of the road to Speyer & Co., of New York, up to the close of business today. The total shares of Choc taw Issued amount to 296,00. This settles finally the question of ownership of the road, which goes to the New York barii-lng-house, and It Is expected will be turned over to the Rock Island system. The .minority holders have until May 7 to accept the offer made, which Is for the purchase of all common stock at $S0 and preferred at $60. Mexican National In New Hands. LAREDO. Tex..

The Washington & Oregon Railroad Company has surveyors In the field run ning a line up the north bank of the Columbia River. It Is surmised by some who have 'been observing the operations of that corporation that It may be seek ing a line for the Northern Pacific to get down the river from Pasco to Van couver. The Southern Pacific's magazine. Sun set, for April, has the usual spread of good things, but nearly all .of them are Callfornian. The chief articles are an il lustrated description of the Sacramento Valley and the third paper on Luther Burbank, the great propagator of fruits and vegetables. The various articles are accompanied with the usual wealth of artistic setting. All the Harrlman lines are now operat ed under a uniform code of rules that went into effect April 1, superseding the rules of the separate companies that had been In effect previously. The changes are not Important, for most railroads have rules that are similar in the main, but a number of details have been modi fled so as to put all the Union Pacific system, including the Soutlern Pacific, under one code. And that code is elab orate enough to cover every possible oc casion and combination of circumstances. The Four Track News for April has a great variety in Its table of contents, a great part of which Is of general Inter est.
