NOT OUT FOR OFFICE
Washington Democrats Don't
Want Nominations.
HOPES OF THE SANGUINE
Relieve There "Will Be a Heated
Railroad Fight in the Republican
Convention, and Their Forty
Will Adopt an Antl" Plank.
OLYMPIA, August 10. (Special. An ao
tlvity Is beginning to be noticed among
the Democrats of the State of Washing
ton they are talking candidates for the
state ticket in the coming election.
There Is not -what could be called a
hard scramble for places on the Demo
cratic ticket this year. The places are
seeking tho men; but according to prom
inent members of the party In Olympia,
the slate Is practically made up. It Is
generally conceded that Judge J. B.
Reavls will bo the Democratic candidate
for the vacancy on the supreme bench
caused by the expiration of his own term
of office. Judge Reavis will have no
opposition, and It Is understood will ac
cept the nomination.
From Eastern "Washington the present
outlook is that the place on the Con
gressional ticket conceded to that sec
tion will most likely go to "Warren Tol
man of Spokane. Mr. Tolman Is state
Senator- from Spokane County, having
served the first half of his term in the
Legislature of 1901, at which time he was
one of the leaders of the Democratic
side of the upper house. He is a lawyer
by profession.
The names of two men are under con
sideration from King County. They are
Charles G. Heifner and George CotterilL
Mr. Heifner Is well known as a state cam
paigner, and was one of tho Democratic
party's best men in the field In the last
campaign. He was Deputy Insurance
Commissioner during the administration
of Secretary of State "Will D. Jenkins.
Mr. Cotterill also has done some etat
campaigning for the Democratic party.
He Is a civil engineer by profession, but
has written a great deal on reform topics.
He is also a temperance advocate, and at
one time was a candidate for Mayor of
Seattle In opposition to Thomas Humes
on the "law and order" ticket. Mr. Cot
terill is now in Europe.
The three men mentioned, it is said,
would accept Congressional nominations
on the Democratic ticket, but as two
cannot be very well taken from King
County, the Democrats must necessarily
pick out another man. This selection
promises to be a difficult one, but at the
present time the most likely candidate
seems to be Ed E. Hardin of "Whatcom.
Mr. Hardin's political activity has been
confined to his home, heretofore, and In
that section of the state he Is well known.
He Is now serving his second term as
Mayor of Whatcom. In the last election
he was a candidate for Sheriff of What
com County, and while defeated ran
several hundred votes ahead of his ticket.
He Is a Kentuckian by birth and a lawyer
by profession.
Other Democrats who have been men
tioned for Congress are William Dunphy,
of Walla Walla, National Committeeman,
and Henry Drum of Olympia, chairman
of the state central committee'. But it Is
said that Mr. Dunphy has declined to
allow the use of his name, while Mr.
Drum has been more emphatic He says
"he IB' neither an active nor receptive can
didate and would not take- the nomina
tion If he were sure of an election.
Even the most sanglune of Democrats
feel that they have not much to offer
in urging the prominent members of the
party to accept positions on the state
ticket. In the light of the results of the
elections of the last four years the
chances for the success of the Demo
cratic state ticket are not considered
bright. The candidates thereon will have
to give up hard work and considerable
money for the honor implied by the nomi
nation given them, as probably their solo
reward.
It seems probable that the greatest
effort for Democratic success will be on
tho County and Legislative tickets. Fac
tional fights In the Republican party In
a number of counties have given some
hope to the Democrats. It is expected
by them that here and there throughout
the state there will be a number of in
dividual cases where Democrats are elect
ed to County or Legislative offices
from counties that are strongly' Republi
can normally.
Still, Democrats are taking a great deal
of Interest in the doings of the dominant
party throughout the state, particularly
along railroad lines. Whether or not
the wish is father to tho thought, they
are undoubtedly looking for a heated
. railroad fight In the Republican State
Convention, and one Democrat of this
city who Is prominent in state politics
expresses the belief that the Republicans
will place a Congressional ticket. In the
field of entirely new men that the names
of Cushman and Jones will not appear
thereon. As such an action would Im
ply a bitter contest and hard feeling.
it would undoubtedly bo a source of
Democratic gratification.
To be brief, the Democratic party in
wasnington, as indicated by the ex
pressions of the leaders of the party.
bases what hopes It has for the success
of Its state ticket this year on internal
dissensions in the Republican party and
tho character of the railroad plank adopt
ed by the latter s state convention. If
the Republicans should adopt an indefi
nlte railroad plank, the present railroad
fight that Is confined to the Republican
party will undoubtedly be carried through
tne campaign ana up to the day of elec
tlon. and then on to the Legislature.
Under such circumstances, a decisive
anti-railroad plank would slip through the
Democratic State Convention on greased
wheels. They would thus make It an
issue which is conceded to be all-Important
to the weaker party in an off-year
election.
Thurston County Democrats.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Aug. 10. (Special.)
Tne Thurston County Democratic Central
Committee met yesterday and decided to
hold the county convention on August 30.
The primaries will be held August 26.
The committee passed a resolution ex
pressing the belief that a railway com
mission Is one of the most important Ques
tions before the people, and recommended
that a copy of tho resolution bo furnished
to each precinct In the county, "so that
the people may in their wisdom take such
action in this Important matter as they
in their precinct conventions think best."
NO MORE THAS 6 PER CENT.
Judge Boise Again Decides Against
Usurious Interest Rates.
SALEM. Aug. 10. (Speclai.)-rudge
Boise has Just rendered a decision
affecting the operation of building and
loan companies in this state. The case
decided is that of W. J. Irwin, of this
city. vs. tho Washington National Build
ing Loan and Investment Association, and
the decision of the court Is that building
and loan companies cannot collect a com
bined premium and interest charge to ex
ceed 6 per cent.
In November, 1895, J. A Rotan borrowed
$1400 from the Washington company, giv
ing his note payable in Si months and
bearing Interest at the rate of 6 per cent,
and also a G per cent premium, both Inter
est and premium to be paid monthly. As
security, . Rotan executed a mortgage to
property in this city. He regularly made
his payments every month, amounting to
223 10, and divided as follows: On stock.
$9 10; interest, $7, and premium, 7. In
Novembor-lS39, Rotan conveyed the prop
erty to Irwin, subject to the mortgage,
and the plaintiff In the action regularly
paid the monthly installment of $23 10 until
April, 1502. Irwin then instituted action
against the company, alleging that the
mortgage had been overpaid, demanding
that the instrument be canceled, and ask
ing for Judgment for $207 90. alleged to
have been over paid on the mortgage, and
for a penalty of $100 for the refusal of de
fendant company to release a mortgage
after It had been fully paid. In his de
cision Judge Boise held that the effect of
taking 6 per cent premium and 6 per cent
interest was the collecting of 12 per cent
Interest, which was in excess of the legal
rate of the state. He finds that the com
pany was entitled to the collection of only
6 per cent Interest, or $7 per month, and
that the balance of the installment, $16 10,
should be applied to the cancellation of
the loan. The court decreed that the
mortgage should be surrendered for can
cellation, and that the plaintiff should
recover from the defendant company
$163 90 and his costs.
In denying the defendant company the
right to collect any premium. Judge Boise
held that the amount of the premium to
be paid by borrowing members to build
ing and loan associations, when they are
properly conducted as such, must be de
termined by competitive bidding, and not
by a level rate fixed by the board of di
rectors of the company.

DELIBERATE SUICIDE.
Astoria FiUcrman Left Letters An
Old Love Affair.
ASTORIA, Or.. Aug. 10. (Special.)-That
the suicide of Harry Lautenbach. who
shot himself at his home near Tongue
Point last evening, was a deliberate act
Is shown by two letters left by the man.
Both were dated August 9, and one was
in the nature of a will bequeathing all
the property of the deceased, consisting of
two lots at Cathlamet, a flshboat, net and
scow, to George Munsell. also a fisherman.
The other letter was addressed to Munsell,
and says the writer has been fighting for
years against a desire to take his own
life, but the "charm" has at last got the
better o fhlm. A list of" the persons whom
the writer owes is given, with a request
that they be paid, and the letter closes
with a reauest that if a stone be erected
at his grave the following inscription be
placed upon It:
"Henry C. Lautenbach. Born Harlln
gen, Holland, 1853. Died Astoria, 9th of
August, 1902."
Lautenbach Is said by his associates to
have been despondent at times over a for
mer love affair, and this was probably the
cause of the rash act. An Inquest will be
held by Coroner Pohl tomorrow.
Herman Jacobsen, hooktender at the
Deep River Logging Company's camp, was
killed yesterday afternoon by being struck
with a log. He was a native of Finland,
23 years of age, and had been in this
country about two years. His funeral will
be held Tuesday, with the Interment at
Deep River.
LIGHTS FOR BAKER CITV.
City Council Finally Decides to Cnll
for Bids.
BAKER CITY, Aug. 9. (Special.) At
a special meeting oi tne UJty council,
held last evening, It was finally decided
to call for bids to furnish and maintain
40 arc street lights for the period of one
year from November 1 next. Tho blda

ed on September 2.
Hits decision by tho Council ends a long
drawn-out contest on the part of a num
ber of leading citizens in the Interest of
street-lighting. On numerous occasions
the Council has refused to consider the
question of lighting the city, even when
petitioned by the majority of the princi
pal taxpayers, and once they declined to
accept an offer to light the city frve of
charge for one year.
Thcro will be two companies in the field
to bid for this lighting contract the pres
ent electric light company and a new
corporation recently organized by A. B.
Frame, of Portland.
CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Frnscr River Flubermnn Arrested
for Death of Companion.
VANCOUVER, B. C. Aug. 10. Oscar An
derson, a fisherman, has been arrested
for the murder of Olaf Marklnson, with
whom he had been working. Anderson re
ported at his cannery that Marklnson had
fallen off his boat and was drowned, but
the theory of the police now Is that An
derson killed him and threw his body into
the Fraser River.
Growth of Thurston County Schools.
OLYMPIA Aug. 10. (Special.) The an
nual report of Superintendent T. N. Henry,
of Thurston County schools, shows, as
compared with reports of prior years, a
condition highly favorable. Over the di
rectly preceding year the average length
of school term was Increased throughout
the county by nearly three weeks; the
average salary was also materially In
creased, and yet tho ready money with
which to begin the work of 1902-03 is
$9701 40 greater than at this time last year.
The average dally attendance Increased
from 1779 to 1901 during the past year.

HAS FAITH IN OREGON
MATT WHO EXPECTS POPULATION OF
2,000,000 BY 1010.
Sets Forth the Basis for His Hope
Easterners on a Scramble for
Tals Coast.
SALEM. Aug. 10. (Special.) "By 1910
Oregon's population will closely approxi
mate 2,000,000 people." said A. T. Kclli
ber, a prominent timber man, who has
Just returned from a six months' visit In
Iowa, Minnesota and Maine. "I presume
many of the old settlers of this state will
smile at this statement, but I will put
myself on record with, that prediction. If
business conditions continue as they have
for the past two years, and one has rea
son to believe that they will so continue
for years to come, then my prediction Is
reasonably certain of fulfillment.
"On my trip East from Minnesota I
stopped off in Michigan and Maine, where
I formerly lived, and told some of my ac
quaintances of the opportunities to make
money in Oregon. Eleven packed up
their goods and started for the Coast, and
are now In this state, notwithstanding my
stay In those places was less than three
weeks. I'll toll you that tho States of
Oregon, Washlngon and California are
the three best states of the Union for
a rich or a poor man today. We are on
the right side of the most favored Nation
of the world, and the many re
sources that have hardly been examined,
to say nothing about exhausted, with the
increase in population and the great
amount of money coming Into this state,
will in the near future make it one of tho
richest states in the Union. I am always
pleased to say something about Oregon,
for, without an exception, it is tho great
eat country on earth.
"Yes, there is a large immigration of
Eastern people to Oregon and the Coast.
The train on which I returned home left
Minneapolis at 11:15 o'clock Tuesday night
and could not accommodate the passen
gers that had planned to leave on that
train. The train was run as far as Mon
tana in two sections, and then consoli
dated into one section o' 14 cars that re
quired two and sometimes three engines.
Not a vacant seat could be found in the
entire train, and. I am informed, these
conditions are not unusual, so heavy Is
the traffic Many of the tourists left tho
train at Spokane, others getting off at
Pasco for Eastern Oregon points, while
the remainder were distributed to Ta
coma, Seattle and Portland and interme
diate points."
Mr. Kolllher Is a timber dealer, and
engages in the business of buying and
selling landB on an Independent basis, not
being associated with any company or
large banking firm. When he sees a piece
of timber land that he wishes, he makes
the investment, and when disposed to sell
the same he does so. Questioned concern
ing the value of Oregon timber and tho
demand in the East for such property, Mr.
Kolllher said:
"The price of timber lands in Oregon
will double within the next 18 months.
There never was before in the East as
great a demand for Western timber lands
as exists at the present time. The prin
cipal purchasers of Oregon timber lands
now are men who have a great amount
of money on Interest and seeking invest
ment, and they are satisfied that they
can realize a better rate for their money
by Investing in the timber lands of this
state. Many of the purchasers will pro
ceed to the development of their prop
erties within the next few yeara. Tim
ber lands In the East are valued so highly
as to be beyond the reach of the under
Investor. In fact. It .s the only property
in the East that Is at a premium, strictly
speaking. There Is not a lumber yarl of
any sire between the Atlantic and Pa
cific Oceans but handles the Oregon prod
uct, from a bunch of shingles to the larg
est spar that is used in the construction
; of tho biggest ships on the Atlantic Coast.
The demand for Oregon timber is increas
ing from week to week, and It will not
be long before three-fourths of the tim
ber used east of the Rocky Mountains
will be obtained from the Pacific Coast."
When asked from what source the prin
cipal amount of capital for investment
In Oregon timber lands by Eastern people
would come, Mr. Kelllher said:
"The capital will not come altogether
from the timber and lumber dealers. A
largo portion comes from men who havo
made fortunes in stock, wheat. Iron and
steel, and mining, and who now realize
the value of timber lands, of which they
were Ignorant a few years ago. They are
desirous of placing a part of their hold
ings in a class of property that has al
ways proven an absolutely safe Invest
ment. This Is a money-making age, par
ticularly so In this country. The railroad
companies aro earning greater dividends
than ever before, and the crops are, with
out any exception, the largest ever pro
duced In this country in any one year, and
prices are good. This makes a vast ac
cumulation of money seeking investment.
There Is no question but what the major
ity of the timber used on this continent
and a very large per cent of what Is used
in tho markets of the world must be pro
duced from the Pacific Coast. This state
ment Is concurred In by every man with
whom I have talked for many yeara who
is at all familiar with timber and lum
ber conditions of the country.
"As to business conditions in general,
I will say I am astonished when I try
to comprehend the vast amount of busi
ness that is being done in every line be
tween the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Everybody and everything is at work
night and day, and there are no Indica
tions that the market will bo glutted
with any of the products manufactured
or produced from any source. Thero
seems to bo an energy that now has hold
of the business affairs of the country that
a fef years ago one never dreamed of."
WASHOUTS CAUSE DELAY.
Knights of Pythias and Their Meet
ing in San Frnnclsco.
8 AN FRANCISCO. Aug. 10. Owing to
washouts In Colorado, the delegates to tho
annual conclave of the Supreme Lodge,
Knights of Pythias, which will convene
next Tuesday, have been delayed. It was
not until late tonight that they began to
nrrlve in any number. Two special trains
from Ogden divided Into five sections ar
rived between 9 P. M. and midnight.
Nearly a score of supreme representatives
and most of the supreme officers are
among those on the ground.
Owing to tho fact that the delay has
been so general. It has been decided to
postpono tho uniform rank parade from
Tuesday until Wednesday. It Is estimated
that 9000 Knlght9 in uniform will be In
line. The first company of the uniform
rank to arrive was from Victor, Colo.' It
contained 30 members under command of
Captain Naylor.
The regular camp routine has begun at
the Mechanics' Pavilion, and all arrange
ments for the reception of the Knights
havo been completed. Major-General
James R. Carnahan, of the uniform rank,
has made the pavilion his headquarters.
The presence of tho executive officers In
full uniform added much dignity to the
sceno. A big restaurant has been opened
In the pavilion, where seats to accom
modate S00 Knights at a sitting have been
arranged.
The Supreme Lodge will hold its ses
sions daily at the Palace Hotel. It Is es
timated that the number of visitors that
will be attracted by the convention to the
city will be 75.000.
