$ACE FOR SEAT IN CONGRESS
4
dtf' Hmsnn Has OfJDCSltlon, It Will
Come From the Men Who. Helped t
i Nominate Him at the Last '
, Convention.
SALEM, Or., Feb. 7. (SpeclalO-The
selection of a Republican nominee for
Congress from the First District has been
the subject of talk la political circles in
'Salem during the past -week. The sub
ject has received very little attention thus
liar, but the presence of L. T. Harris, of
i-Eugene, and George C. Brownell, of Ore
gon City, early In the week, seems to
Jiave stimulated interest. So far as can
be 'learned both of the gentlemen were
rliere on business and talked politics only
with a few close friends, hut they are
known to have the Congressional race
under consideration and this was suffi
cient to start the suggestion that they
were here looking after their political in
terests. It is taken for granted that Congress
man Hermann will be a candidate for tho
'nomination to succeed himself, though
the announcement has not been made.
"Whether Harris and Brownell will be can
didates Is under consideration by thoso
gentlemen. "When they were asked by
friends here concerning their Intentions
they replied that they had not decided
yet, though Brownell told one or two men
1 that he would be In the contest. Repub
lican leaders are beginning to make In
quiries as to candidates so that they may
not promise support to one man and find
out later that another, who might be
more desirable. Is In the race.
As far as can be learned, Marlon Coun
ty will have no candidate for the nomina
tion this year. Mr. Gatch has said in
. plainest terms that he will not ask for the
support of this county and no others are
mentioned In that connection. In tho last
contest there were five candidates, with
Hermann against the field. The opposition
to the Douglas County man could not
unite and after a long, hard fight the ex
Land Commissioner won. The outlook now
seems to be that If Hermann has any op
position this time it will be from one or
two men, and these will most likely be
Harris and Brownell.
In the fight a year ago Harris was a
strong favorite among the delegates and It
' was generally believed that If he had en
tered the race early in the day he could
have carried the convention. However
: that may have been, Harris gave his sup-
' port to Hermann and when his name was
placed before the convention later in tho
day the llns had become so strongly set
: that they could not be broken for him. The
strength of Harris, if he should be a can
didate, would be due largely to his gen-
i eral popularity, his ability as a debater
. and his excellent record as Speaker of
. the House of Representatives at the last
regular and recent special session of the
Legislature.
Brownell was a Hermann supporter in
the last Congressional Convention of which
assemblage he was chairman. He has long
entertained an ambition to occupy a seat
in the halls of Congress, but circum
stances Tiave never seemed to make his
candidacy advisable. He is not satisfied
that the conditions are yet favorable and
probably will not become a candidate un
less he thinks he ran count enough votes
In advance to insure his nomination.
Brownell thinks his political record en
titles him to the favorable consideration
of Republicans. Three times elected to the
State Senate and chosen President of that
body, are matters that he thinks commend
him for election to a higher office. His
friends remark that it was ho who got the
initiative and referendum amendment
through the Legislature, that he was tho
leading champion of the direct primary
law In the Legislature, and that It was he
who secured the adoption of a resolution
In the Republican caucus at the special
session indorsing Roosevelt.
Hermann's chief advantage lies In his
being already In the office and in a large
measure familiar with his duties and ac
quainted with public men at "Washington.
He will be opposed for renomlnatlon upon
the ground that he Is not in good stand
ing with the Administration and therefore
not as Influential a Representative as the
state should have. His failure to get tho
committee appointments which this state
so much desires Is cited as proof of his
not having the influence which was
claimed for him In the last contest.
When he was a candidate last year It
was stated in his behalf that Representa
tive Cannon, who was to be Speaker, had
Inquired whether he would probably be in
Congress, and expressed a desire to place
him on important committees. JCotwith
standing this, Hermann was refused the
appointments for which he asked. Other
incidents, particularly the recent difficulty
over the Medford postofllce, have not
tended to strengthen Hermann In the es
timation of Republicans of the First Dis
trict. Nevertheless, it is generally admitted
by men who oppose his renomlnatlon, that
Hermann has strength enough in the dis
trict to make him a difficult man to de
feat. ROAD POOR TO BLUE RIVER.
Much More Money Will Have to Be
. Spent in Improvements.
EUGBXE. Or.. Feb. 7. (Special.)-Teams
have Just returned from hauling the ma
chinery for the new quartz mill to the
Treasure mine In the Blue River District.
C H. Park, manager of the mine, expects
to have the mill n operation early the
coming season. He has had a large
force of men at work for the past year
devoloping the property and it is declared
by experienced miners that the Treasure
is now the best developed mine In the
district, with the exception of tho Lucky
Boy, which has been a steady producer
for a long time. Besides .the Treasure, it
Is believed several other mines will put
up new mills the coming season.
In transporting the heavy machinery
the freighters experienced much trouble
on account of the bad condition of the
roads. The "Winter rains have softened
them so that a wagon loaded with five
tons finds some very deep holes. Five
teams of heavy horses were hitched to
one load, and in some places it was found
best to put long poles under the wagon
like sled runners. Instead of depending
on the wheels. The roads are very bad
from constant use during the "Winter,
much of the time travel being by heavy
loads, which do not have a tendency to
Improve the roadbed in its present con
dition. Many thousands of dollars have been
expended on this road, and much more
.will be required In the near future.

MONMOUTH, Or.. Feb. 7. (Special.)
The annual reception by the Junior class
at the State Normal was giverf Saturday
evening. The large assembly-room was

and evergreen entwined with the class
colors. In the center of the room was

appeared in a grove of firs. The pro

audience and the evening closed with a
grand leap-year march. The music was
furnished by the orchestra under the

The baccalaureate sermon was delivered
Sunday at 11 A. M. by Rev. Dr. Clark
Bomer, of Albany. His text was John
111:2, "We Shall Be Like Him, for We
Shall See Him as He Is." The central
thought advanced by the speaker was the
necessity for a pure ideal, a fixedness of
purpose in following this Ideal, and a
cheerfulness of life coming from an opti
mistic view of one's conditions and sur
roundings, holding that this is a strong
factor in. life.
The sermon was a masterful presenta
tion of the life of Christ as an ideal for
the teacher. It was well received by a
large audience.
. MASSIE CLINGS TO BOY.
Denies That He Has Treated Brutally
His Young Cousin.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 7. (Speclal.)
John A. Massle is prepared to make -a
hard fight before giving up possession of
his 9-year-old cousin, William Massle. He
said he had already retained one attor
ney in the matter, and would employ oth
ers. If necessary, to oppose proceedings in
stituted by Miss C, Anita Whitney, proba
tion officer of the Juvenile Court, to have
the boy declared a dependent child.
Deputy Sheriff Murdoch called at the
Massle home, 1015 Linden street, but was
Informed that Massle was not at home.
He learned that Mrs. Massle had depart
ed with the boj' for Portland. Massle said
she and the boy areN now visiting at the
ranch of Colonel Soto, about ten miles
from Portland.
Miss Whitney alleges that the boy has
not been given a proper home, and that
he has been severely beaten several times.
These statements are denied by Massle.
"I have tried to rear the boy in a proper
manner," he said, "and now, after nine
years, I do not propose to permit a
stranger to step in and take the child
away from me. The boy's father was acci
dentally killed. by his mother.
"My late father. Conductor 'Jack Mas
sle, was present when the boy's father
died, and promised to take care of the
child. Since my father died I have been
fulfilling the obligation. It is true that at
times I have punished tho boy for playing
hookey from school, but It was only by
strapping him on the hand. Tho boy wljl
admit that he has not been mistreated."
The case has been set for February 27,
and it will be necessary for the boy to bo
in court at that time.

"LIAR" SAID DR. DRIVER
VETERAN METHODIST MINISTER
' STARTLES CONGREGATION.
Christian Minister Spoke Up; in Meet
ing at Corvallisls Called Down
With Emphasis.
CORVALLIS.Or., Feb. 7. (Special.)
"You are a liar," was the epithet that
one minister of the Gospel hurled at an
other In the presence of a startled con
gregation at an afternoon meeting In the
Methodist Church Friday afternoon. The
minister who applied the epithet was Dr.
L D. Driver, and the man at whom it was
directed was Rev. Mr. Handsaker, pastor
of the Church of Christ in this city.
The scene that accompanied the Incident
was dramatic in the extreme, and though
the matter was kept quiet for a time,
enough of the details have become public
to arouse much Interest in the affair.
As near as can be learned, the incident
was the culmination of various minor at
tacks that Dr. Driver has made on tho
doctrines of the Christian Church with
reference to baptism, since he began a
series of lectures in this city two weeks
ago. The word was apparently carried
to Rev. Mr. Handsaker that the faith of
his sect had been assailed, and from his
own pulpit last Sunday the matter was
quietly referred to.
At the afternoon service in question.
Rev. Mr. Handsaker was present, and
Just before the close of the meeting he
took issue with Dr. Driver. The debate
was very brief, but it peems to have
speedily assumed a personal character,
when Rev. Mr. Handsaker Is declared to
have charged that, during a series of
meetings recently heldln Albany by Dr.
Driver, the latter was challenged to de
bate the question of baptism with a
Christian minister in Albany, and that
he refused.
It was this charge that Dr. Driver met
with a vehement assertion that Rev. Mr.
Handsaker was a liar. The statement Is
that Rev. Frank L. Moore, pastor of tho
Methodist Church in which the evangelis-J Washington, and If McBrlde Is thrown
tic meetings are In Droeress. was oulcklvrdown the Democrats will surely put up
meetings are in progress, was aulckly
on his feet, and that he exclaimed:
"You must not use that language here.
Dr. Driver."
WATER MAY BE CUT OFF.
Hood River Valley Gruitg rowers Face
a Crisis.
HOODv RIVER, Or., Feb. 7. (SpedaL)
Hood River people are aroused to white
heat excitement over the water Question.
The affairs "f the Valley Improvement
company, owners of the large Irrigat
ing system which supplies the strawberry
growers with water, have reached a crisis,
financially, and there Is a possibility of
the farmers getting no water unless they
come to the terms of the Valley Improve
ment Company's creditors and put up $30.
000 by March 1. The patrons of the ditch
regard this proposition as a hold-up, pure
and simple, and are not disposed to accept-It
without a fight for what they re
gard as their rights under common law.
Saturday afternoon a rousing farmers'
mass meeting packed the large opera
house until there"wasn't standing room.
A motion to accept the company propo
sition was voted down with a deafening
roar of "noes," and. as a substitute mo
tion, a committee of five was named to
confer with the company's representatives
and to report at another public meeting
Tuesday afternoon, with recommendations
regarding the best policy for tho farmers
to pursue.
The whole situation in a few words is
this: F, L. Chambers, a Eugene banker,
creditor of the Valley Improvement Com
pany for the sum of $23,000, declares lie
has made all the money advancements he
cares to with no show to get his money
back, and will not put up another cent
until the farmers buy 1000 Inches of per
petual water rights at 130 an inch, the
holders of the same to pay $2X0 an inch
every year for maintenance of the ditch.
At a stockholders' meeting last week, the
directors were empowered to sell theso
perpetual water-right contracts with the
understanding that the $30,000 for 1000
inches must be raised by March 1. Of
this amount $23,000 is to go to Mr. Cham
bers, $4000 to Frank Davenport, president
of the company, for work on the ditch,
and the balance to be used for necessary
repairs needed on the ditch before water
can be turned In.
Since the Valley Improvement Company
began supplying Hood River Valley with
Irrigating water six years ago, the farm
ers have been paying $5 per Inch annually
for their water, and now to be forced to
put up $30 an Inch means hardship and
actual ruin to small landowners and rent
ers. Mr. Chambers has arranged to ad
vance cash loans at from 6 to 10 per cent
Interest to those farmers, who have not
the ready cash, and take mortgages for
security.
At the mass meeting yesterday Mr.
Chambers was represented by his agent,
H. D. "Wagnon. who refused to explain
in detail to the crowd the terms of the
contract which the company has drawn
up. There were loud and frequent calls
of "read the contract!" "read tho con
tract!" but Mr. Wagnon remained ob
durate. Ho was willing, though, to meet
each farmer Individually and explain the
merits of his proposition, or to meet with
a committee named by the meeting and
discuss his contract. For this purpose a
committee was named, consisting of E.
N. Benson, E. A. Franz, Fred Bailey, N.
C Evans, A. C Staten. Attorney A. A.
Jayne. chairman of the meeting, wasalso
Included, at the unanimous request of the
members of the meeting. The committee
met with Mr. Wagnon immediately after
the meeting. Just what was done will
be made known at tho mass meeting
Tuesday.
There is ji general opinion' that Mr.
Chambers cannot legally force his de
mands on the people, and It Is stated that
Attorney Teal, of Portland, has expressed
a like view on the question.
OREGON HAD A HARD TRIP.
Bucked Gale for 59 Hours-Had Assistance-on
Way Back.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 7. (Speclal.)-
The bar was raging furiously last night
and today as the result of a storm that
has been raging off shore, and vessels en
tering the harbor 'reporj having been en
gulfed lna swirl of angry waters while
crossing the shallow stretch of sea.
Several vessels which arrived In the har.
bor today report having felt the force of
the southeaster. The schooner Glen, from
Iverson's Landing, was caught In a gale
off Point Arena and labored heavily for
several hours. Her deck lashings were
carried away and 40 cords of wood were
washed overboard. The chain plates of
the vessel were also badly damaged.
The steamer Oregon had a hard time in
bucking the gale, and occupied 59 hours In
making the voyage down the coast from
Astoria. She shipped sea after sea, and
carried away part of her forward rail
Jng.
V The Pacific Coast steamer Queen also
met tne storm, out was delayed only a
few hours. Captain Cousins slowed down
for five hours after shipping one sea.
The Oregon met with a mishap in trying
to get out again, and had to put back.
COVB MAY BE INCORPORATED.
In a Rich Portion of the Fertile
Grand Ronde Valley.
LA GRANDE. Or.. Feb. 7. (Special.)
The people of Cove made application in
the February term of the County Court
for the incorporation of Cove, and it was
granted, the day for voting Incorporation
and city officers being set for February
20. in the Town Hall In Cove.
Cove has about S0O inhabitants, is sit
catea 16 miles from La Grande, and is one
of the most fertile spots on tho Grand
Roads Valley. The Inhabitants ha ye greajjj
hopes, pf railroad communication "with the
outside world, and would be satisfied with
any reasonable railroad facilities, either
steam or electric They have the promise
of an electric line from La flrande and
also from Union. There is a great amount
of business for any road that would resell
Cove, as there Is no equal area on the
face of the earth that is capable of fur
nishing a greater amount of products.
The fruit industry, already of Immense
proportions, is growing every year, and a
railroad is needed not only to facilitate
shipment to outside markets, but to pro
vide the means of properly handling the
crop, which the people claim Is one of the
cerious drawbacks of a long wagon haul.
Cove has made improvements and has
grown in the- -same proportion that other
communities In the country have in the
past few years. The "big public school, tho
new churches, the farm and orchard Im
provements and new business-houses all
Indicate steady progress and surprise. The
merchants report a steady and substantial
trade, and no doubt before long Cove will
go down on the map as one of the biggest
little places in Oregon.
Island City, a town Just two miles from
here, has been Incorporated within the
past few weeks, and now the incorporation
of Cove speaks well for the prosperity of
Union County- in general.

Ordination Anniversary of Father
Brosseau Celebrated.
In the life of Rev. Father L. A. Bros
seau and In the history of the parish and
monastery of the Most Precious Blood, of
Mount Tabor, yesterday was' a red-letter
day, long to be remembered by both pas
tor and people. The occasion was the
celebration of a "silver wedding," the 25th
anniversary of the pastors ordination to
tho priesthood. Just 23 years ago Father
Brosseau was consecrated to the priest
hood in the Church of St. James, Quebec,
by Archbishop Fabre. The entire day was
occupied by services appropriate to the
commemoration of that event, and there
was a great outpouring of people from the
parish and from Portland.
At 9:30 the beautiful chapel In the mon
astery was crowded beyond Its capacity,
many remaining standing throughout the
solemn high mass of commemoration by
Father Brosseau. This chapel, regarded
as the most "beautiful of any In the state,
was resplendent with ornaments. Tho
altar fairly glittered with beauty, while
the walls of the chapel were covered with
the symbolic pictures, telling the story
of the life and sufferings of the Savior.
For the "Silver wedding" of the priest
the special decorations approached the
unentai in spienaor. silver cores or
chains were suspended from the celling
and swung down toward the audience.
Father Brosseau was assisted In the
morning mass by Rev. J. H. Black, pas
tor of St. Francis' Church, as deacon, and
Rev. E. Bo 11a as subdeacon. Leonard's
mass In B flat was finely rendered, by the
Sisters of the Precious Blood. Father
Black delivered a most eloquent discourse
on the high calling and standard of the
priesthood, appropriate to the quarter
century milestone In the life of his
brother priest.
Following tho commemoration services.
aunougn not on tne announced pro
gramme, was the wedding ceremony of
Arthur Huber and Catherine H. Hose, in
the chapel. Father Brosseau performed
the ceremony, and In his short talk to
the newly wedded couple told them among
other things that they were highly fa
vored by having the marriage solemnized
by a priest who was celebrating his silver
wedding.
In the afternoon at 3 o'clock there was
another large audience to receive the
solemn benediction, which was followed by
a general reception by Father Brosseau to
the members of the parish and friends in
the school hall. For over an hour Father
Brosseau received congratulations and ex
pressions of affection from Catholics, who
wished him another 25 years of usefulness
In the priesthood of his church. These
congratulations came from many sources

HAD COSTLY EXPERIENCE.
Politician Got Gold Brick Stealing a
Political Club.
"Don't ever try to capture or steal the
other fellow's club organization," says a
well-known politician. "It doesn't pay. I
found that out several years ago when I
helped steal a Simon club on East Mor
rison street In the old Ninth Ward when
thjngs were pretty hot. and clubs were
Deing rormea m every block, w e captured
the club all right, but wo got a gold
brick. Just the same. No, It doesn't pay.
Let the other fellow alone."
The club that was then captured was a
Simon organization. Charles Parker, a
saloon-keeper, was a candidate for Con
stable and thought he needed a Republi
can club. So he fitted up a hall In the
Dickenbech building. William Francis pa
pered it and the room was provided with
benches and a table. Sam Mason was
then a member of the central commit
tee from the Ninth Ward, and It was ar
ranged that he should call the meeting to
order. Fred Bullock was to be secretary.
The hall was really finely fitted up. The
Mitchell wing conspired to possess that
club, and prepared to run In a big bunch
of men of their faction and overwhelm
the Simon people. They carried their
plan out. Sam Mason called tho meet
ing to order, but before he could make
further announcement Waldemar Seton
was nomlnated-fand elected temporary
chairman. Fred Bullock, the acting secre
tary, was not disturbed. L. A. McNary
produced a typewritten constitution and
by-laws, which were Immediately adopted.
In less than 15 minutes from the open
ing of the meeting Sam Mason and his
party were ousted, and the Mitchell fac
tion was In full possession of the flail.
It looked pretty rough after all the ex
pense that had been incurred, but there
was an aftermath, which came the day
following. The Mitchell organization was
presented with a $70 bill by Charles Parker
for hall rent and fixtures. It was pay
up or get out. Rather than get out the
bill was paid. Parker then went across
the street and opened up another
hall and had bis club running In a few
days at a cost of less than $15. Just now
clubs are springing up In air the wards,
and the advice of an old politician Is to
"let the other fellow alone."

People who have never lived on a farm and

hired man have ertalnlyi missed a eight for
gods and men. After six lone hours of good
hard, hot work In the harvest-field, he gets his
feet under a well-laden table, and woe be unto
the cool things thereon. The manner In
which he stows away the fat of the land Is
no delusion. Tellow-legged fried chickens',
green seas, new potatoes, good cornbread,
hunks of fresh butter, cherry plea and nu
merous other wholesome and substantial
articles of diet disappear one after the other
In rapid and regular succession. That meal
is well worth all the hours of hard work be
has put In to earn It, and many a man who
is regarded aa being more fortunate than he,
would pay handsomely for the hired man's
capacity to enjoy such a meal. A stomach
like his -would he worth a fortune of any man's
money, who suffers the constant and continu

every cne can have, rich and poor alike, and
for a price that Is within the reach of all.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the drspeptic's
certain relief throughout the regions of the
earth. They act in & natural, mild but firm,
determined manner, and never fall to cure
dyspepsia. They do the work of your stomach
for you and digest your food just as your
stomach used to when it was well. You can
prove this by putting your food into a glass
Jar with one of the tablets and sufficient wa
ter, and you will see the food digested In Just
the same time as the digestive fluids of the
stomach would do it. That will satisfy your

house a telephone has been built from tho

north side of the Base Line road, north of
the Mount Tabor electric railway station,
and other preparations have been made,
which show that the Sanitarium company
will make a hard tight to maintain its In
