Parle 6 ISITJJJILL? He's in Goos'Bay Rail road, Possibly. HIS TIE-UP WITH CLARK Together, It Is Believed, in Los Angeles Project, . ENGINEERS GO FROM SHANIKO Great Northern Surveyors Make a Thorough Examination of Central -and Southern Oregon Coal Is. "Wanted. President James J. Hill, of tho Great Northern Railway and tho Northern Se curities Company, Is tho latest transcon tinental railroad influence to be connect ed with tho Coos Bay Railroad. People who see- the strength or tho Coos Bay project, but cannot have full faith In It unUl they are assured of the support for the railroad from Salt Lake City, and who are searching the railroad sky from horizon to zenith for definite signs of that support, aro now associating Mr. Hill with tho enterprise, and think they havo good reasons for believing that ho has a finger In the pie. These reasons are three in number, and they aro more or less satisfying, according to tho light of those who seek. In tho first place, it has" dawned on some of these people that President Hill and Senator W. A. Clark are on easy business terms, and it was at one time alleged with confidence that tho Clark road between Salt Lake and Los Angeles was deslgneu for the purpose of giving tho Hill railroads a slice of the Califor nia tourist business. The Goulds also fig ured In it. Mr. Harrlman was In a posi tion to interpose such powerful opposi tion, however, that tho Clark, road lost Its high coloring as an Insurrectionary in fluence and degenorated into the aspect of a mero common servant of all the lines that might choose to make -connection with It. Tho struggle between tho Ore gon Short Lino., ancJ.jtheL Clarjc comoanr for possession of strategic points in" Ne vada was as hot and determined in its way as was the notable clash between Hill and Harriman for control of the Northern Pacific, which culminated In the Stock Exchange panic of May 9, 1901. In both cases the victory was negative, and Harrlman was able to prevent to a considerable extent tho enemy from per fecting arrangements that would havo been likely to disturb his own peace of mind and the profits of his properties. Tho Los Angeles road was there robbed of Its soul, and Its perfunctory life is said to be now leaving it. But both Hill and Clark are still very much alive, with am bitions that would make many younger men dizzy,- and possessed of the where withal to make their plans rather more than Idlo dreams. In the second place, Mr. Hill has had agents In the Central Oregon field this Summer, examining the country with considerable minuteness. One of his con fidential engineers went into the country between Shaniko and Lakevlew and Klamath Falls, early In the season. He came out In Juno, and while waiting for a train wrote Mr. Hill a personal and confidential letter four pages long, in forming Jiim of tho situation of affairs in Central and Southern Oregon. About two weeks after, a Great Northern sleeping car came down from Spokane and was dropped off the O. R. & N. train at Biggs Junction and taken onto a Columbia Southern train for Shaniko. Thirty men who were in the car paid cash fare from Biggs to Shaniko, from which point they dispersed Into tho country to the south ward, most of them taking teams for long drives. The Great Northern sleep ing car was Immediately returned to Its home line. The men it delivered at Shan iko have not returned there, at least not In parties large enough to bo noticed. Nothing definite has -come to light as to their mission in the country. Third and last, attention Is again drawn to the fact that tho Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy is now to all intents" and pur poses a Hill railroad. It is doubly se cured to him. first through ownership of stock and guarantee of bonds by the two Northern railroads of (whlch President Hill is the dominant In'flnpnfp jnrt uk. 'ond, through Mr. Hill's presidency of mo jNonnem securities uompany, which represents the adjustment made neces sary by Mr. Harriman's little game of Interference played In the New York stock market. The Burlington now has a road to Guernsey, Wye, and the an nouncement has been made several times that that company Intended to build through the coal country between Guern sey and Salt Lake City. That would in volve construction of about 300 miles of new track. Burlington englneors aro known to have reconnoltered the route. With the Burlington In Salt Lake City and a friendly line from that point to tho Pacific well, there you have tho ex planation of Mr. J. J. Hill's activity west of Salt Lake, whether In the direction of Los Angeles or Coos Bay. News comes from Salt Lake City that Mr. Clark is desirous of getting Into the local corporation that Is to represent the eastern end of the Great Central Rail road, and that the Senator is heartily In favor of the construction of the Coos Bay line. This, In connection with the mys terious movements of Great Northern men In Central and Southern Oregon, leads some to tho" conclusion that the real influence back of the Coos Bay move, concerning which its most active pro moters profess Ignorance, is no less than James J. Hill. For the present this the ory occupies much attention, even of those who admit that one substantial fact to the contrary would knock it out. Mr. Hill's penchant for hitting upon rich fields that others havo long overlooked and for working them Into .high product iveness. Is another thing that inclines those who are trying to see the bottom of the Coos Bay enterprise to attribute It to his far-sighted genius. There Is no doubt in any quarter that extraordinary activity in. the Coos Bay country Is Inevitable if the railroad to Salt Lake shall go. But If that shall fall to materialize well, men of modest means do not relish the Idea of being compelled to put up $15,000,000 for a transcontinental Jlne. In order to save' any little Invest ment they may make on Coos Bay. Henco this scanning of the railroad sky for any speck of a cloud, even If it be no bigger than a man's hand, that will show the direction from which the wind comes, that may guide the judgment or give in spiration for Coos Bay. TRUSTS AND REVOLUTION Russell Sage Paints a Dark Picture of the Future. NEW YORK. Aug. 21. Ruseeli Sage. In an Interview today, referred to a public statement quoting. J. P. Morgan as saying that the-era of great trusts had just be gun and that more gigantic corporations are coming In the near future, some- of which may overshadow the steel trust. Mr. Sage said: "Whether Mr. Morgan said that or not, coniblnatlons- of all Industries are a menace to true government. Not only so, but they aro oppressors of tho people." "What will bo the result of such an era?" asked the reporter. "In such an event the American people NOMINATED FOR CONGRESS ' "j bbbbbbssbsbsbbHsBw HbV 'sssbbbbsbbbbbbbbbbT ' jiavwborz nt excite MOSCOW.1 BOISE. Idaho. Aug. 21. (Special.) Burton L- French, who tofiay become the nominee for Congress, is a native of pejphln. 3nd., .bot has spent" the past 20 years in Whitman County, Washington, nnd Latah County, Idaho. He came to Idaho with his parents In 18S2.- when he- was.- 8 years old. being now 28. His fother, Q. A. French, settled on a ' farm Jurt east -of Palouae. ash. In the pub lic schools of that place young French received his jearller education, graduating from the Palcuse High School la 1891. In the Summer of 1891 the family moved into the Potlatch country near JCendrlck, and from 1633 to 1S0S Mr. French taught In the public schools. The last two years of that time he was principal or the Jullaetta. schools. In 1S0S he entered the University of Idaho, and graduat ed with honors in 1001. soon afterward being elected to a fellowship in the Uni versity of Chicago, where be has spent the past year as a student in political science. In 1803 Mr. French was elected to the lower house of the Idaho Legislature as a Republican. He was re-elected In 1000. and "at the 1001 session was the caucus nominee of the Republicans -for Speaker. He. was. the floor leader of the minor ity throughout tho session, and gained special prominence by reason of his elo quence and the strong light he put up against the" Legislative reapportionment bill. 'Throughout both sessions of tho Legislature In which he served Mr. French has been a leader In pushing educational legislation. He was the author of the special property road-tax law. will revolt against them and there will be financial ruin the . like of which this country has never seen or any other." It was suggested to Mr. Sage that there was a general opinion that combinations at certain times were good things for the country. "Yes," Mr. Sage replied, "when several Industries arc starting out In business It is well for Individuals to combine for mutual protection until the business is firmly established. When the business la so established, the combination should be disrupted and the business conducted on individual lines. Then If .one individ ual became embarrassed, it would, not mean tho wrecking of the Industry. I helleve It la better to have such Indus tries divided among several Individuals than combined into one great combina tion, the embarrassment of which would mean tho ruin of all."

LINES UP Republicans Favor a Re vision of Tariff PLATFORM TO THE POINT Plan for Legislation to Sup press Trusts. FRENCH NAMED FOR CONGRESS John T. Morrison Is Unanimously Nominated for Governor J. M. Stevens "Wins in Contest for Lieutenant-Governor. SALIEXT POINTS IX PLATFORM Idaho Republicans favor A revision of the tariff without un reasonable delay. An amendment-to the Constitution for the suppression of trusts. Opening of reserve lands more valu able for agricultural than other pur poses. Present two-mile limit law for sheep with alight modifications, to make the act more efficient. BOISE. Idaho, Aug. 21. The Republican Stato Convention today nominated tho following tlcke't: Representative In Congress Burton L. French, of Latah. Supreme Justice J. F. Allshle, of Idaho. Governor John T. Morrison, of Can yon. Lieutenant-Governor James M. Stev ens, of Bingham. Secretary of State Will H. Gibson, of Fremont. State Auditor Theodore Turner, of , Bannock. State Treasurer H. N. Coffin; ofAda. Attorney-General John A. Bagley, of Bear Lake. Superintendent of Public Instruction Miss Mary L. Scott, of Bingham. Inspector of Mines Robert Bell, of Cus-' ter. Ralph T. Morgan, of Kootenai, was nominated for Judge of tho First dis trict; Judge E. C Steele, for the Second (renominated); Judge George II. Stewart for the Third (renominated): Alfred Budge for the Fifth. No nomination was made for the Fourth, it being left to tho central committee. Though there had been a very sharp contest over the principal places, all the nominations were made by acclamation. The Platform. The platform, after a feeling reference to tho death of McKlnley, says: "We bellevo that In President Roose velt our party has found a worthy leader, whose fearlessness In the discharge of his duty, and whose devotion to the best Interests of the whole country prove him to be a worthy successor to his lamented predecessor, and the Republican party of Idaho -extends to President Roosevelt its hearty support." Tho protective tariff is indorsed, with the following supplementary declarations: "That many of the Industries of this country have outgrown their Infancy, and the American manufacturer has entered the markets of the world and Is success fully competing with the manufacturers of all other countries. We therefore fa vor a revision of the tariff without un reasonable delay, which will place upon the free list every article and product controlled by any monopoly, and such other articles and products as are beyond the need of protection." The Trust Question. On the trust question the platform says: "Resolved, That the formation of enor mous over-capitalized corporations, com monly called trusts, for the purpose of concentrating all of the Industries and products of the country In the hands of a few men, stifling competition and en abling them to dictate the wages of labor and the prices of commodities to both the producer and the consumer In the In terest of their own aggrandizement, Is a great and growing evil, the plain rem edy for which should be laws regulating the capitalization of corporations within reasonable and moderate limits. We rec ognize the fact that under the Constitu tion of the United States, as it now stands, no adequate restrictions can be put upon the organization of such cor poration; therefore, we favor such amendment to the Constitution as will enable Congress to effectually regulate and suppress all trusts and Injurious combinations of aggregated capital." The platform favors the opening of lands In forest reservation In the state that are more valuable for agricultural than other purposes. Democrats Are Condemned. The 'Democratic Legislature Is con demned for Its administration of tho state's land grants, for Its legislative ap portionment, for the veto of the beet sugar bounty bill, for wasteful extrava gance, etc.- The railway merger is op posed. Thiy declaration is made relative to tho two-mile limit law for sheep, that has given rise to so much discussion: "The existing law recognizing and reg ulating the relative rights of those who use public domain for grazing, agricultural or mining purposes, as defined by existing legislation, has the approval of the Repub lican party of the state, and except as changed conditions may demand such flight modifications as will make the law more efficient in Its execution, the Re publican party Is opposed to any change therein."
