HUMPHREYS REMAIN SILEMT

Keeping Ills Brother In the At
torne" Office in the Face of
Another Appointment.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 5. Special.)
"Will E. Humphrey has the question ol
the Seattle postbfflce still under advise
ment. Some day local politicians may
.know -what the Seattle member o Con
gress intends to recommend to the Pres
ident, but at present, they are lnlorrood,
ho has not yet decided the master.
To local politicians the question o a
new postmaster at Seattle resolves Itself
down to a choice between George 1L Stew
art, the present incumbent, and "W. A.
Carle, who has the Indorsement o the
King County legislative delegation, or
rather that portion o the delegation that
voted for Senator Levi Ankcny. Now and
then some one mentions Mayor Thomas J.
Humes as a possible compromise candi
date, mindful, probably, of the fact that
Humes and Ankeny have been intimate
jpersonal and political friends.
Hume an it Still Hunt.
The suggestion that Humes might be a
candidate for postmaetor, or that he was
considering the possibility of acquiring
that position, has not been noised abroad
in Seattle. Here there are comparatively
few who know that Mayor Humes Is re
ported to have told a Tew of his Intimate
friends that he will not be a candidate to
succeed himself. Most Seattle politicians
expect him to make the iightfor Mayor
again, if conditions- are at"alf -favorable,
and it would not be a bit surprising If in
time the Mayor did enter the coming con
test. But at present the postmaster's po
sition appeals to him.
This Is the attitude of Humes, looked at
from the standpoint of men -who are re
garded as close- to him. For himself the
Mayor Is silent. He Is not gifted with the
habit of taking the public Into his confi
dence, and there are few politicians In
Seattle who can say they have had any
intimation of his future plans from Mayor
Humes.
Influence Wielded by Stewnrt.
That George M. Stewart is a serious can
dldate for postmaster has always been
understood. He was named more than
four yeara ago, just at the close of the
term of Senator John L. Wilson. Stewart
had been treasurer of the Republican State
Central Committee for several years, and
was a strong King County supporter of
Wilson. It is extremely doubtful whether
Foster would have chosen Stewart for the
Seattle costoffice. and Wilson did not
leave the question open for doubt.
Durlng the last Senatorial contest the
fortunes of George M. Stewart were made
the particular care pf his brother, A. B.
Stewart, who was one of the most promi
nent of the King County business men
who were supporting Preston. When the
latter was shown to be an Impossible can
didate, A. B. Stewart made every effort
to guarantee the reappointment of his
brother, but failed to secure any pledge
of support
Senator Ankcny is quoted as having de
clared positively that Stewart could not be
reappointed. There Is no doubt that Sen
ator Ankcny is strongly averse to renam
ing the present postmaster, or that he will
fight his appointment, so long as there is
opportunity for so doing.
The office is regarded as one that falls
within the list of Senatorial appointments.
Ordinarily, politicians would conclude that
the decision of Ankeny that Stewart must
go would settle the matter, especially as
Senator Foster will not quarrel with him
over the place. But, inasmuch as Seattle
Is the home of Representative Humphrey,
there Is a question whether the two Sen
ators will be allowed to -dictate the ap
pointment of a new postmaster here.
Whether Humphrey has a choice has
been concealed from politicians. Mr.
Humphrey has not "made up his mind,"
and whether he will Interfere Is an open
question. '
Foster nnd Jone With Anlceny.
That Senator Foster and Representa
tive Jones will support any recommenda
tion that Senator Ankcny makes is en
tirely probable, and thjjt Senator Ankeny
agreed that the King County men who
voted for him should control King Coun
ty politics Is undenled. So it is well un
derstood that so far as the majority of
the Washington Congressional delegation
is concerned, it Is strongly opposed to
Stewart, and will permit the opponents
of Stewart to name the new man. Wheth
er Cushman could be Induced to take a
band In the matter is questionable. Mr.
Cushman Is playing the best politics he
can at present, and he will not make a
fight unless he can see an advantage
In It for himself. All of which Is good
policy, but complicates tho situation re
garding the appointment.
Cuahntan linn Troubles of III Otto.
Cushman has been successful in block
ing the appointment of Charles Bedford,
of Tacoma. as Assistant United States
District Attorney. District Attorney
Jesse Fryo has recommended Bedford's
appointment, urgingthat conditions In
the attorney's oftlce are not harmonious
and declaring that Bedford would serve
better. He makes no charge against the
personal or professional character of the
present deputy. E. E. Cushman, a broth'
cr of the Representative.
This fact has glvon Representative
Cushman tho opportunity of declaring to-
the Department of Justice that the United
States Attorney, aided by the Foster poli
ticians, are making an attack upon his
brother In order to reach himself. Fur
thermore, he has urged the good reputa-
Ucn of his brother una has succeeded
in holding up the appointment.
One thing that has ajded Cushman
somewhat is that Bedford was formerly a
clerk in the office of Indian Commissioner
C. A. Snowdea at Tacoma. As such, ho
L
left his post and went to Washington dur
ing the Crocker-Ide fight over Collector
of Customs. He was reprimanded .and
finally allowed to resign. While this was
a matter that pertained solely to the In
terior Department. It is held it has had an
effect upon the Department of Justice.
Another Good Berth for Someone.
Though there is a nice berth In the
United States Assayer's office awaiting
n new appointment, the Congressional
delegation has not yet decided upon a
recommendation. Fred Wing, who has
hold the position of Assayer since the of
fice was established, Is anxious to re
main, but thus far he has received no
assurance that he will not be disturbed.
The place, under the terms of the Ankeny
agreement. Is Hkoly to be filled upon the
recommendation of the King - County
members of tho Legislature. It has been
suggested that one of their number might
bo chosen, but this Is extremely doubtful.
In any event, those men to whom An
keny. Foster and Jones are most apt to
listen have made no recommendation.
Foster followers are alleging that the
controversies over the land offices at
Vancouver and Spokane will be settled to
their satisfaction. It Is conceded there
has been a hard fight over the places and
that the opponents of the Foster-Ankeny
combination have made the situation ex
tremely difficult. But Foster men contend
that pressure will be brought to bear to
effect an amicable understanding and
deliver the berths to them. The offices
will be brought to the attention of Fed
eral officials when Congress reconvenes.
Foster Is extremely anxious that Hal
Cole should bo appointed In Spokane. This
has been his own fight, while Ankcny
has looked after the Vancouver office.
Foster wants the services of Cole and .his
friends In Spokane County, and though
he will probably have their support any
way, he would feel surer of it if he won
the fight on behalf of Cole. For that
reason the Spokane land office has been
given considerable attention recently.
TIMBER FOR LOCATION.
Extension of Sumntcr Vnllcy Road
Opens 'ew Belts.
BAKER CITY. Or.. Aug. 5. (Special.)
Tho activity noticeable in the matter of
timber land locations now Is occasioned
principally by the extension of the Sump-
ter Valley railroad, into a new umber
land belt, where there Is to be found sec
tion after section of the finest timber
land In America. Of course the powers
behind the railroad are not neglecting
their own interests. In the matter of tim
ber land, but the Eastern Oregon timber
section is large, and it Is an easy matter
to find vacant sections that can be lo
cated under the timber and stone act.
The school land and lieu land scandle
is still fresh in the mlnfn of the people,
and while the schemers who were mixed
up In that deal aro not dead, they are
doomed to enforced idleness for a time.
Some of the 100.00 acres of timber land
that was Includes In the big lieu land
fraud last Fall will be taken up by other
speculators this .year. Probably the only
difference between the majority of the
people who are after Umber land now
and the lieu land grabbers is that the
lieu land crowd, was going to do a whole
sale business, while the others will be re
tailers. LOGGER LOSES LIFE IN HO QUI AM.

GREAT VALUE OF SOILING
CONCLUSIVE EXPEIIIMEXTS AT THE
STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
Alfalfa Can Be Grown on Many Acres
of Western Oregon, With
Good Results.
CORVALLIS, Or., Aug. 5. (Special.)
Efforts to emphasize the Importance and
value of soiling as a means of economical
feeding on farms are in progress at the
State Agricultural College. The effort
promises to do much to make up for the
pasture deficiency, which has long been
a source of regret to Oregon farmera.
Two years ago Dr. Wlthycombe began
experiments in soiling and so far they
afford most favorable results. Under a
test now In progress, 17 head of cattle
and 25 head of hogs have been main
tained since the 13th of May last on
acres of ground. Of the cattle 13 head
were dairy cows. The feeding began with
crimson clover, which was cut green and
fed until a first crop of alfalfa was ready,
which was first fed about June L
After the latter crop was exhausted,
oats and peas were used until a suc
ceeding crop of alfalfa was ready. At the
present time a third crop of alfalfa. IS
Inches high, and affording approximately
three tons to the acre. Is ready for use,
and will continue to sustain the herd of
cows and swine for a couple of weeks to
come.
Careful account of the expense of soil
ing has been kept, and It has been found
that from May 13 to August 1 the added
cost of labor for cutting and feeding has
been 3 cents per cow per day. Estimated
on a basis of present prices for dairy
products, the gross Income from the soil
ing is J2S4.20. The result shows the Im
mense valuo that attaches to soiling as a
means of profitable feeding on Oregon
farms. The method Is not only valuable
for the abundance of the food product,
but the growing plants renew the nltro-j
gen In the soil and supply this necessary
element for which Eastern farmers now
pay large sums in tho way of fertilizers.
Dr. Wlthycombe Is convinced that the
experiments have already demonstrated
that the plan is destined ultimately to
come Into general use among farmers,
and that the sooner it is generally
adopted the sooner will the agricultur
ists come Into their best profits.
The alfalfa experiments undertaken In
connection with the soiling have shown
conclusively that on thousands of acres
in Western Oregon the plant may be
profitably and successfully grown. On
a small tract of two acres, sown in the
Spring of last year, two crops have al
ready been cut, and a third crop, IS
inches high. Is now ready. No commer
cial fertilizer was used on the tract. The
test in the alfalfa experiment, as on the
other grounds used in the soiling, has
been on ordinary land, and under the
conditions that prevail on any well-kept
farm, where barnyard manure Is con
sidered an asset in the business.
The first crop of alfalfa yielded ap
proximately 10 tons per acre; the second
about four tons, and the third about three
tons per acre. Dr. Wlthycombe Is cer
tain that alfalfa can be most profitably
grown along all the river bottoms and on
much of the other lands, without irriga
tion. ETTLINGER'S LAWYER LEAVES HIM

Washington Supreme Court Decides
Aealnst Trust Company.
OLTMPIA, Wash., Aug. 5. (Special.) A
long decision of the Supreme Court filed
today deals with the troubles of the
Stearns Fruit Land Company, which In
1831 began operations on an extensive
scale in Clark County, and whose business
was afterwards conducted by the Title
Guarantee & Trust Company. Considera
ble of the history of the heavy specula
tions of the company In fruit lands is re
latcd.
In 1S91 tho Stearns Fruit Land Company
entered into ah agreement with Columbus
and. Margaret McDonnell by the terms of
which it was to plat Into five-acre tracts
331.48 acres of lands owned by the Mc
Donnells. Thes9 tracts were to be sold
to individuals under a contract providing
that they should be planted to pYune trees
by the company and put Into a bearing
condition. The fruit company assumed
certain mortgage indebtedness of the Mc
Donnells, and was to receive clear title to
the tracts a3' they were disposed of at cer-
tain, prices, with the privilege or taKing
the whole of the lands within a certain
time.
There were afterward four supplemental
agreements entered "into, by the terms of
which the company was to pay as high as
$300 per acre for some of the lands and
through which the Title Guarantee &
Trust Company became the trustee for
the Steams Fruit Land Company.
The outcome of the agreements was that
the speculators lost on the operations.
They deeded 117.97 acres to individuals, on
which mortgages for deferred payments
amounting to $S48L23 were held by one
Vincent Cook and second mortgages val
ued on their face at $2311.25 were held by
the Title Guarantee & Trust Company
There was still 213.505 acres remaining un
sold.
When this much had been accomplished
the company found that It had expended
$2200.29 more than It had received. It then
brought suit against the McDonnells,
claiming that It was the trustee for both
the Stearns Fruit Land Company and the
McDonnells; and was- entitled to $3115.26,
with $$09.9S interest, for its services.
The McDonnells set up a counter claim
that the Title Guarantee & Trust Com
pany was the actual purchaser of all the
lands, and was Indebted to them for same
in the sum of $3S.S70.54.
The main question at issue was whether
the company had agreed to purchase the
lands or was a truslce empowered with
authority to sell what portion it could of
the lands for the benefit of the McDon
nells.
The lower court found for the McDon
nells, and gave judgment against the Title
Guarantee & Trust Company for $29,477.79,
and directed the company to satisfy the
Vincent Cook mortgages and other judg
ments, known as the Slocum and Whiter
judgments.
The company appealed, and the Supreme
Court reverses the lower court and finds
that the Title Guarantee & Trust Com
pany Is Indebted to the McDonnells in
the sum of $5446.51, with Interest. It di
rects the appellant to pay the balance due
on the original mortgage assumed by-tho
Stearns Fruit Land Company at the time
of purchase; clear the record of the Slo
cum and Winter judgments; convey to
respondents all lands not heretofore con
veyed to contract purchasers, and turn
back to respondents a note and mortgage
held by It on certain Walla vvalla lands,
the appellant to be awarded all the mort
gages on the deeded five-acre tracts now
In Its hands or In the hands of Vincent
Cook. The appellant is given 60 days to
comply with this judgment, with the- al
ternative that all the above amounts di
rected to be paid shall become a first Hen
on the lands and securltleo now In the
hands of the appellant.
ROSEBURG GIRL DIES OF POISON.
Body Is Fonnd on a. Sandbar In the
Unipqua, Near Town.
ROSEBURG. Or., Aug. 5. (Special.)
During last night Ida Page, aged 18 years.
committed suicide by taking poison. This
morning the body was discovered by Con
ductor M. C. Gregory as he was leaving
town with the early southbound freight
train. The remains were on a sandbar
between the railroad track and the South
Umpqua River, half a mile from town.
There were no evidences of a struggle,
nor any. marks ot violence. No cause Is
yet assigned for the rash deed.
The girl's father Is a. hard-working man
and a good citizen. Her mother has been
for yean an invalid. It is said the girl
had been somewhat wayward, and unre
quited youthful affection perhaps led to
her self-destruction.
This afternoon an autopsy was held and
It was determined that death was due to
carbolic acid. The Coroner's Jury will give
its verdict tomorrow.

Contracted Disorders

Our patients have no relapses.
When we pronounce a case cured
there is not a particle of infection
or Inflammation, remaining, and
there Is not the slightest danger
that the disease will return. No
contracted disorder is so trivial as
to warrant uncertain methods of
treatment, and we especially so
licit those cases that other doctors
have been unable to cure.
