Bepublican success In the coming cam
paign In Idaho is predicted by ex-Senator
George I. Shoup, of that state, wno
Is In the city from Boise. In speaking or
the political situation as he sees It, Mr.
Shoup said:
"The Idaho campaign will open Mon
day with tickets in the Held named by
the Republicans, Democratst Populists,
Socialists and Prohibitionists. The real
fight is between the Republicans ana
Democrats, and the contest promises to
be warm. I am sanguine of the success
of the Republican state ticket and also
of the Legislative ticket, though we have
the hardest fight on the latter. The 4s
ruea are drawn upon both state and Na
tional questions, but the state issues are
likely to be given greatest prominence
in the campaign.
Busts oC Predictions.
"I base my prediction of Republican
success upon several features of the sit
uation. In 1S96, when the fusion of the
opposition parties was at its greatest
strength, the Republicans polled only
one-third of the entire vote of the state.
In 1898 and 1900 the majorities were re
duced so that in the latter year the
fuslonlsts prevailed by a margin of only
1900 voteo on an average. At the same
ratio f Increase in Republican strength,
we should carry the state this year by
from 2000 to 3500 votes.
"A second fact worth considering is
' that in the last two years there has
been a large immigration Into Idaho, of
svhich increased population, I believe, 75
.per cent is Republican. Again, there has
been a great deal of dissension In the
Democratic ranks, and there is reason to
believe that many who voted the fusion
ticket two years ago will vote with the
Republicans this year.
May "Win, Despite Jerrymander.
"We are at some disadvantage in
the Legislative "fight, because the last
Legislature enacted a reappointment law
by which the number of representatives
wa3 cut down In Republican counties
and Increased in counties that were
carried by jthe f unionists.. The last Legis
lature was Democratic by about 10 ma
jority, but even with the apportionment
against us, I believe we will elect a
Republican majority, this year. I men
tion this fact for-the rearam that the
Legislature elected this year will choose
the successor to United States Senator
Heltfeld, of Lewlston, whose term will
expire next March.
Issues of. Campaign.
"The' Republicans have reaffirmed the
St. Louis platform, and the National Is
sues will be the same as usual, except
that the silver question has been dropped.
On state Issues the Republicans attack
the present fusion administration, charg
ing that It has created new and unne
cessary offices to be filled by supporters
of the fusion movement, that it has been
extravagant in the use of public funds,
employing persons to perform duties for
compensation far in excess of the value
of the services. Other weak points in
the administration will 4ilso be dis
cussed." Shoup Is Noncommittal.
In answer to the question whether he
will be a candidate for election to the
United States Senate, in case the Legis
lature should be Republican, Mr. Shoup
replied:
"I have not said yet whether I will be
or not"
He remarked in the same connection
that there are a number of men men
tioned In connection with the Senatorshlp
In case of Republican success, any one
of whom would make an eincient Sen
ator, among them being Joseph Borah,
of Boise, and Judge Heyburn,sof "Wallace.
The Democrats talked of are the present
Incumbent, Senator Heltfeld, of Lewis
ton. Judge Hawley, of Boise, and Colonel
Dewey, of Nampa;
Mr. Shoup was Territorial Governor
when Idaho was admitted ae a state,
and was elected first Governor in 1KW,
under the state constitution. The first
'Legislature' elected him to the United
States Senate, and he was elected a sec
ond time In 1895, his last term expiring
in March, 190L He is In Portland on
personal business and Is at the Portland
Hotel.
DEMOCRATIC POINT OP VIEW.
Idaho Democrat Says Republicans'
Stole Thunder of His Party.
"W. J. D'Arcy, business manager of the
Capital Evening News, of Boise, Idaho, Is
In Portland for a few days on business.
He was for many years prominent In
the councils of the Democratic party in
Marion County, Oregon, and was secre
tary of the Democratic State Central
Committee In the campaign of 1900. Quite
naturally he is watching with Interest the
campaign now opening in his new home.
Mr. D'Arcy says that the campaign is
to be very interesting, for the' reason
that the result wllU-be close, whichever
elde.wins. He thinks,, the fight, will be
largely upon state Issues, and he -is hope
ful of Democratic success. In discussing
the situation he said:
"The Republicans have played us a
mean trick up in Idaho by stealing some
of our thunder. For example, they have
declared in favor of free trade upon' all
trust-made goods, which is not good Re
publican doctrine. The lart State Legis
lature, which was Democratic, enacted a
law making it a criminal offense for a
eheepman to graze his sheep within two
miles of a ranch. This law was sus
tained by the Supreme Court, and is very
popular with tho people. The Republi
can State Convention indorsed this law
and tried to deprive the Democrats of the
advantage accruing to them by reason of
Its enactment. -
"The Democrats believe, however, that
they have been able to show that, the
Republicans are not sincere in their in
dorsement of the law mentioned. They
have chosen as their state chairman F. R
Gooding, one of the most extensive sheep
growers in the state. His interests are
directly opposed to the retention of the
law against grazing sheep near ranches,
and we hold that it is inconsistent and
an evidence of Insincerity for the Repub
licans toxput him in charge of their cam
paign. "The Gubernatorial contest is between
John P. Morrison, on the Republican
ticket, and Governor F. W. Hunt, on -the
Democratic ticket Governor Hunt is very
popular, and, as he will get a large part
of the labor vote, I think, his- election is
quite probable. Should the Legislature go
Republican it is generally believed that
"W. E. Borah, of Boise, will be elected to
the United States Senate. Judge Borah
Is a young man of great ability and en
ergy. Should the Democrats .have a ma
jority of the Legislature the Senatorial
contest will lie between Senator Henry
Heltfeld, of Lerrfston; J. H. Hawley, of
Boise: R. P.-Quarles. of Lemhi,, and Colo
nel Dewey, of Nampa."
Mr. D'Arcy has gone to Salem to visit
friends and attend the State Fair.
TELEGRAPH CABLE SHIPPED
Laying: o Coaat-HaTrallan tine Will
Be Begaa in December. -
LONDON. Sept. 18. The submarine tele
graph cable which is to Join the .United
States and Hawaii, as the first link in the
system to the Philippines, has been com
pleted and is now on boird the cable
steamer Silverton, lying In the Thames,
preparatory to sailing September 20 for
San Francisco, whence the vessel will im
mediately begin laying the cable to Hono
lulu. The Silverton is expected to reach
San Francisco early in December. The
cable is wound around three enormous
spools, each 30 feet in diameter. Its total
length is 2413 miles. The strands are one
to three inches thick. The total weight
of the cable is 10,000 tons.
, Vice-President Ward, of the Commer
cial Pacific Cable Company, who will sail
for New York on the Celtic tomorrow.
ELECTED QUEEN OF
aUBI LIZZIE
said to a representative of the Associated
Press:
"The shipment of the cable gives the
assurance that tho United States may
look forward to be in telegraphic com
munication with Honolulu by the end of
this year. The manufacture of the re
maining three sections for the Philip
pines Is progressing at the rate of 50 miles
a day, and I am, confident they will be
finished by March and laid during next
Summer. Two cable steamers, . the Colo
nial and the Angella, will lay the line
beyond Hawaii. I would like to see the
entire project consummated by next
Fourth of July.
"Pending the arrival of the Silverton,
work will be pushed on the underground
cable approaches at San Francisco and
Honolulu, each seven miles long. It will
take the Silverton two weeks to unwind
her spools between San Francisco and
Honolulu. The service will begin imme
diately thereafter."
INSURANCE MEN MEET.
Fire Underwriters Report' Good Con
ditions in the West.
UEW YORK, Sept. 18. The union in
which the regulation of fire underwriting
for the Central Western States Is cen
tered is holding its annual convention
at Jrontenac, N. Y., says a dispatch to
the Journal of Commerce. During the in
itial session only routine business was
transacted.
President J. M. Decamp, in his addrees.
congratulated the members on the suc
cess of the movement in the West for
advanced rates. What is known as union
territory yields 43 per cent of the pre
miums of the country. The 25 per-cent
advance on certain classes was equivalent
to 8 per cent on the whole business. Mr.
Decamp quoted figures showing that the
average rate despite the increase was five
or six points less than in 1S96 and showed
only a slight sharing In the general pros
perity. One of the good results noted by
the president was that the gain of ratio
premiums greatly exceeded the gain in
percentage of liability assumed, which
healthy state must, he said, soon become
manifest in a reduced rate of loss.
The governing committee's report re
viewed at length the rate movement, the
schedules and their application. Tho
number of cities rated by schedule wfere
given and much detail added showing the
advance of tho work. The situation by
states also wasrevlewed and the expedi
ency of excepting this schedule In certain
cities, mostly In Wisconsin, was gone In
to at length. Taken as a whole It was
the view that Western conditions were
greatly improved and a reign of pros
perity was at hand. The various sub
jects contained In the reporof the gov
erning committee -were referred to spe
cial committees.
A well-defined movement obtains to ex
cept sma(l towns from agitation in rates
that Is proving so disastrous to the busi
ness of some companies making a spe
cialty of these clashes.
Medal for Brave Yonng Marine.
CHICAGO, Sept. 18. Samuel Hirsch. of
Evanston, has received a personal letter
from Secretary of the Navy Moody, com
mending his bravery in saving the life
of a fellow sailor. With the letter came
a medal and an offer of another position
in the Navy. A year ago young Hirsch
plunged from the deck of the United
Staters battle-ship Indiana, while in mid
ocean, and saved a comrade who had
fallen overboard. He Is 18 years of age,
and was given an honorable discharge
from the service 10 months ago. The
medal is rarely conferred, and only for
some act of unusual bravery performed in
time of peace.

LABOR UNIONS BLA1MED
WHY DR. YD OCX IS TO BE BUILT AT
VANCOUVER.
Manufacturers' Association Says Ship
Carpenters Wages Are Too High
Other Reasons Given. -
The following letter has been sent by
C. H. Mclsaac, secretary of the Manu
facturers' Association, to the Federated
Trades Council:
Portland, Sept. 17. Mr. A. R. Lawton. Secre
tary Federated Trades Council. Box 208. Port
land. Or. Dear Sir: Referring: again to your
communication of September 13, entertne pro
test against tho construction of the drydock
for Portland on the Columbia River, 1 beg to
say that, from personal Investigations, I learned
that the contractor, when he submitted his bid
on the drydock, had In mind the location se
lected by him and approved by the Port of
LA GRANDE CARNIVAL. .
GOECIC.
N
Portland Commission, and hls reasons for se
lecting such site were: To construct tho dock at
the lowest possible cost to him and to the City
ofPortland, and to get away from any possible
trouble, annoyance or Interference from the
labor unions of this city.
The contractor Informs me that he will em
ploy any and all labor, both skilled and com
mon, without referenco to whether such labor
ers belong to any labor organization or not,
their qualifications as workmen only 'to be con
sidered. My understanding of tho matter here is that
the labor organizations consider the work
should bo classed as a shlpcarpentcrs Job, ex
pecting to work only eight hours per day and
receive union wages, which range from $3 to $4
per day of lght hours; whereas, as the matter
now stands, nine hours will be a day s work,
and such wages will be paid as are received by
carpenters and laborers outside of the labor
organizations, which range from $2 to $3 50 per
day. By this means the dock can be construct
ed for much less money in Vancouver than by
union labor In the City ot Portland, thus mak
ing a great saving to the contractor and to the
City of Portland, which will pay the bills. The
contract was made 'With these facts In view,
or the price would have been so much larger
that tho Job would have gone to some other
city, and Portland would not have received any
benefit at all from labor and materials. As It
Is. "Vancouver, being practically a suburb of
Portland, all money paid for labor and mate
rials there will eventually reach Portland, as
Vancouver purchases all her supplies here.
"With regard to the Impression that has gone
forth that there Is no suitable location for the
building of the drydock on the "Willamette Riv
er, that Is erroneous, as there are several loca
tions along the water front in the city limits
that could be selected for that purpose.
Another reason why Vancouver was selected
as a location for building the drydockls on
account of the close proximity of the sawmill
to that site. The lumber used In the construc
tion of the drydock can be purchased for less
money there than In Portland.
These reasons are all good, and show the
matter to be simply a cold-blooded business
transaction. The contractor can build the
dock at Vancouver for less money than In Port
land, and avoid all possible annoyance -and in
terference from labor unions; and the con
tractor can see his way clear to making more
money. His reasons are obviously weighty, and
right and Just from his point of. view.
With reference to your statement that the
building of this drydock -at Vancouver will hurt
the shipbuilding trade at Portland, and that
our builders are meeting the competition of
yards in all Pacific Coast ports. I beg to difTer
with you. There are no new boats of any con
sequence being built here now. nor have there
been for some time, for the reason that ship
builders are afraid to bid on new work on ac
count of the uncertainty ot ship-carpenters
asking for more wages and less hours. "Wages
today are from 3 60 to 4 for eight hours, and
two years ago ship-carpenters received from $3
to $3 60 for 10 hours. The price was raised CO
cents per day and an hour dropped, and later
they asked for an additional 60 cents per day,
and an hour was dropped. On Government and
"city work it Is expected to work only eight
hours per day, and on rapalr work 60 cents an
hour Is paid; on new work, $3 50 per day Is
paid, and there Is no telling what other de
mands will be made.
As an Illustration of why our shipbuilders
cannot compete in Portland, let me cits the
following: Some' time ago a wharfboat was
wanted, and every Portland boatbullder. having
to take chances on the wages that union men
were receiving at that time, added an addi
tional $1000 on the bid on account of the wage
uncertainty, with the result that the boat was
built at Llye, "Wash. There was a difference
of 11200 In favor of the Lyle shipbuilders. The
boat is now being built there, and using any
and all kinds of labor, as Lyle Is outside the
Jurisdiction of the labor unions here. Ship
carpenters have gone from here tp work there.
Thelocal shipyards are taking only repair
I will state another Illustration of the diffi
culties surrounding the boatbuilding -Industry
here: The proprietor of a woodyard wanted to
put a. rough deck on his scow, but the union
would not allow It, declaring him unfair, and
soon after, when he wanted to build another
scow, the union refused to work on It.
On Pugot Sound ship-carpenters work nine
hours a day, and receive from $2 to $3 60 per
day. Our shipyards here cannot compete under
those conditions. The reason the Port of Port
land tender was awarded to a Seattle contractor
was on account of the uncertainty of wages
here. Our. local boatbullders had to bid so
high that they could not compete" with the
Sound shipyards. They claim the union Is to
blame.
When the steamer Elmore was being built
here, while on the frame, wages were raised
50 cents a day and an hour dropped. In-consequence
the contractor lost $1500 and five
months' work. This Is certainly not very en
couraging to local boat-building.
This association, we regret to say, cannot
help you now, as the matter has gone too far.
We cannot interfere with tho personal rights
and liberties of our people, nor do we wish to
do so. The association Is trying to build up tho
Industrial growth of Portland and Oregon, and
all territory tributary to this city, but not at
the expense of the Interior towns; and we
would gladly help you could we see our way
clear to doing so.
Within the last few years a condition has
been brought about la this stato that means
great advancement to the cause of home In
dustry. 1 am referring now to the worjc of the
various labor organizations. They are alive,
progressive, bodies; they occupy a unique posj.-.
Uon In the field of industrial progress, and ex
ert a powerful Influence upon the public mind
In relation to home manufactures; they are the
best friends that the local manufacturer has,
for this reason: The labor unions ask of the
manufacturer and employer that their organ
ization be recognized; the employer, on the
m other hand, as a return favor, can ultimately
ask for the members of the unions. Individually
and collectively, that they buy their goods In
the Portland markets. What can be the result,
other than a powerful Influence brought to bear
upon the whole community of Portland, and
especially an almost concerted support of home
industries by the laboring class? The work
Ingman and mechanic Is shrewd enough to sea
that every dollar that can be thrown Into the
hands of his employer will tend to keep the
localepncerns in a prosperous condition, raise
wagesor maintain a fair rate of wages, and
result in the Individual betterment of the
worklngman's condition.
I do not mean to be understood as champion
ing the cause of labor and unionism not by
any means. I simply desire to call attention
to a condition that exists, and to remind those
who have not thought of the matter In this
light, that the Individual betterment of the
worklngman's condition and the upbuilding of
a great city are common causes.
We are very glad that you called the attention
of the association to this matter, thus giving
us an opportunity to thoroughly Investigate It,
and sincerely regret our Inability at this time
to change the situation, in any way. The logic
of the dlfflcultr, as shown by the above facts,'
speaks eloquently for the application of a rem
edy more far-reaching than lies within the
power of this association at this time.
Yours, very truly,
. C H. M'ISAAC. Secretary.

in a Grouse Mountain tunnel, owing to
a cave-In, but is little the worse for the
adventure. He went out to examine the
Pleasant View mining property. Entrance
to the property is gained through a tun

nearly two years and the timbers had
become rotten. Von Reucau had not
gone more than "50 feet when the roof of
the tunnel fell. A companion who had
remained outside heard the fall of tim

force was removing the earth and the
wood that filled the bore, Von Ruecau
was busy working at the other end of the
obstruction. He was faint when rescued,

ARE PORTO RICANS ALIENS?
Interesting; Point Raised at to the
Rights of Immigrants,
NEW YORK, Sept. 18. United States
Circuit Court Judge Lacdmbe has heard
arguments relative to the legal status of
citizens of Porto Rico who emigrate to
this country, and will shortly decide
whether they ar& aliens under the exist

right to enter the United States without
interference of the immigration authori

the 'court's attention to the recent in
sular decision, and said merchandise of
all kinds is admitted free from our new

Dr. Ifewman's Investigation Dr.
Shoemaker Takes Back His Storr '
About Diseased Stock.
The quarantine against the "Woodland
district will be raised today. Dr. D. C.
Newman, secretary of the "Washington
Board of Health, has visited the com
munity to make Investigation of the re
port sent In by Dr. Shoemaker, .in which
he stated that smallpox was still raging
there, and that it had been transmitted
to theistock. "The smallpox germs." he
had said, "were being sent out In tho
milk, as the scabs wero on the cows
udders and were brushed oft Into the
milk." Dr. Newman went to "Woodland
last "Wednesday and made a thorough
investigation of the situation.
"I found," said he, "that there are still
a few casc3 of smallpox among the
people, but I failed to find any of the
stock diseased. Since the Health Board
has learned of the smallpox in that com
munity all cases are closely quarantined,
and I think Jt is perfectly safe for the
Portland officials to raise the quarantine
they have declared against the place and
depend upon us to keep the disease in
check." Dr. Blersdorff has also received
a letter from . Dr. H. R. Cliff, of St.
Helens, who Is well acquainted with the
situation, and he takes a stand similar
to that of Dr. Newman. The evidence
at hand Dr. Blersdorff thinks Is sufficient
to warrant a removal of the quarantine
and said yesterday" that he would take
this action at once.
The following Is the letter from Dr.
Cliff:
"Woodland, Wash.. Sept. 18. In ray practice I
am continually in the vicinity of Woodland and
the surrounding district, and have carefully ex
amined Into the matter of smallpox, and must
say In some way It has been misrepresented.
At present, there are but four cases, and two of
these should be released. I have Just met Dr.
Newman here and talked the matter over with
him. and I really think the quarantine could
(lately be raised' at Woodland. I have not had
tho pleasure of meeting you, but hope to do so
shortly. I would refer you to Dr. K. A. J.
