Oregon Grange Makes Few
Changes From Report.
MANY TAKE HIGHER DEGREE
Evening Session Taken Up In Pre
paring Class of Nearly 200 for
Eligibility to National Ranks
-A Day of Routine Work.
CORVALIIS, Or., May 26. (Special)
Today's session of the Oregon State
Grange was a busy one. The time was
mostly taken up with routine work and
adoption of resolutions pertaining to the
welfare of the order.
Yesterday afternoon was entirely taken
up with the election of officers. The
method of conducting elections In the
State Grange prevents previous nomina
tions for officers and when an officer Is
to be elected the master simply announces
that It Is the time to prepare a ballot.
Much time is lost In the counting of a
scattered vote.
The result of the election was highly
satisfactory to nearly all the delegates.
Master Leedy's re-election was a fore
gone conclusion from the first, as he
has shown his ability in a marked de
gree and it was particularly desirable
that he should be at the head of the
State Grange during the visit of the
National Grango to Oregon next Novem
ber and during the continuance of the
Lewis and Clark Exposition.
Other officers re-elected were: Mrs. Mary
I. Howard, secretary, for the seventh
time; also the venerable Oscar Eaton
succeeded himself as chaplain. C. L.
Shaw was again elected to the office of
steward.
Both of the lady delegates from Mult
nomah County were glyen an office. Mrs.
Anna Caswell was chosen as Pomona
and Mrs. Ida II. Thorp as lady assistant
steward. Both are Important positions
In the degree work.
An illustrated lecture on good roads,
given by Professor Hyde of the State
University, in the college chapel last
night, was greeted with a full house.
The subject was peculiarly interesting
and the suggestions made for the bet
terment of our highways will be acted
upon in many localities when the visi
tors return to their homes.
Discussion this forenoon was partially
on the subject of dormant Granges, in
which many members took part. A
report was finally adapted calling upon
the various county deputies to Increase
their vigilance and efficiency.
A special order for 10 o'clock was the
report of committee on revision of by
laws. When the report was presented
It was accompanied by the revised laws
and was under discussion until the noon
hour arrived.
Consideration of the by-laws was con
tinued until late in the afternoon and
were finally adopted with but a few
minor amendments. The printed copy
previously furnished the membership
throughout the state was read by the
lecturer and thoroughly discussed before
being adopted.
The evening session was taken up with
conferring the fifth and sixth degrees.
This ceremony was held in the Odd
fellows' Hall, beginning at 8 o'clock.
Nc&rly 200 members received these de
grees preparatory to becoming eligible
for the National degree, which will be
given them at the session of the National
Grange in November.
BUTTE NURSE UNDER ARREST.
Prominent Physician Alleges He Has
Been Blackmailed.
BUTTE, Mont.. May 26. Dr. O. B.
"Whltford, a millionaire and one of the
most piomlncnt physicians in Butte, yes
terday caused tr-e arrest, at Lea An
gelesA Cal., of Mfc-s Bessie Driscoll, for
an alleged attempt to wring blackmail
money from him.
Miss Driscoll Is a pretty but Illiterate
young woaiin of about 2S years. She
f poses as the mother of a child and
charges Dr. Whltford with being its
father. The existence of the child is de
nied by Whltford.
Miss Driscoll already has been paid $3000
as "hush money," but she Is clamoring
for $15,0w) more, under threat of sending
the baby home to the physician's wife;
hence her arrest. Detectives who have
been shadowing her say that she is only
the tool of a mysterious man blackmailer
and that ho has greedily gobb.ed up her
J3000, only giving her a miserable pittance
to live on and dribbling it out to her
in small amounts.
Although the Driscoll girl writes to Dr.
Whltford fascinating descriptions of her
baby "playing about the room as I write,"
etc, the detectives claim she has no
baby, building up for her elderly vic
tim's discomfort a baby version of tho
famous story of "Margery Dawe." On
the other hand, the girl claims she is the
victim of this rich old man, who was
her doctor, and in whose 04 years she
trusted too much.
Dr. Whltford, she declares, sent her to
New Jersey to boar her suffering alone,
while he continued to maintain an hon
ored position in Butte society. She says
he promised to send her 55O.O0O, but is now
trying to scare her out of the amount
by having her arrested.
Dr. Whltford denies the charges of the
girl in toto. He acknowledges having paid
Miss Driscoll 53000, preferring to be black
mailed to that extent rather than have
his name dragged in the mire by her
allegations and being made a target for
scandalous gossip
For this sum Whltford compelled the
young woman to sign a receipt in full
for all claims, past and future, she agree
ing never again to demand anything from
him
Attornoys for Miss Driscoll attempted
to have a. warrant sworn out for tho ar
rest of Dr. Whltford. but County Attorney
Peter Breen would not entertain the prop
osition, and Whltford as a countermove
caused the arrest of Miss Driscoll. Her
hearing is set for next Tuesday. The
woman -nhlle In Butte was known as a
nurse and as such was associated a great
deal with Dr. Whltford in a professional
capacity.
LIQUOR MEN WIN CASE.
Not Responsible for Death of Drunken
Man.
BELL1XGHAM. Wash.. May 26. A
case was decided in the Whatcom County
Superior Court today in which all of the
retail liquor dealers of the state were
intensely interested. August 10, l&oi,
James Adams was killed by a railway
train while on his way from this city to
his home in Goshen. The widow of the
deceased brought a suit against the pro
prietors of three prominent saloons in
this city, Jacob Beck. Borgesor Bros.,
and Foskett & Co.. for 515,000, alleging
that by reason of Adams having pur
chased and drank liquor in their respec
tive saloons he had become Intoxicated
and that by reason of said intoxication
he had been run over by the train and
killed.
The law under which the case was
prosecuted was brought down from ter
ritorial days and incorporated in the
statutes of the state. It provides that
any person contributing to a person's in
toxication by the sale of liquors Is liable
to damages in case said person shall meet
bis death while intoxicated. The defense
conducted Its case on the theory that
Adams had committed suicide.
The" jury found a verdict for the de
fendants after being out less than one
hour. An unsuccessful attempt, backed
by the liquor Interests and property-owners
of the state, was made to have this
law repealed at the last session of the
Legislature.
ACCLAIMED IN YAMHILL.
Hermann and Fulton Speak at New
berg Rally.
NEWBERG, Or., May 26. (Special.)
One of the greatest political demonstra
tions of years was held at this place last
night, when Hon. Binger Hermann and
Senator C. W. Fulton addressed a vast
audience in Crater's Hall a Senator and
a Representative in one evening and this
section of Yamhill County gave them an
ovation. When Mr. Hermann came in
overland, at 5:30 o'clock, the signal was
given, and Newbergs numerous factory
whistles greeted him with one united and
shrill acclaim. Representative citizens
hastened to greet him, giving assurance
of loyal support in old TamhilL
Mr. Hermann was given the closest at
tention In his address, and when he made
an appeal for support for the peerless
Roosevelt, In recognition for his services
in behalf of the Lewis and Clark Fair,
the fireworks were set off, and the appeal
was met with the heartiest applause. He
dwelt impressively upon the extent and
Influence of the Exposition. "We look into
November, as well as June, when -we
vote on a week from Monday. A major
ity of 20,000 in June would mean more to
Roosevelt and tho Nation than 40,000 In
November."
Mr. Hermann eulogized the Administra
tion for its attitude toward the trust, the
capital and labor problem, the Isthmian
Canal, protection, financial legislation,
the Navy, and National roadmaking.
Concerning his personal record, Mr. Her
mann hurled defiance at his calumniators,
and won many friends by his manly and
fearless refutation of what he termed as
malicious defamatory and dastardly vi
tuperation. He took up the charges in
detail, refuting each in turn. Ho closed
with a forcible comparison of Republican
and Democratic policies, and made a stir
ring appeal for loyalty to the courageous
Republican standard-bearer.
Senator Fulton followed, strongly com
mending the Representative on his rec
ord. He stated that it was hardly neces
sary for Mr. Hermann to bother himself
about his defamers, as his constituents
know him and have full confidence In
him. Mr. Fulton briefly reviewed Mr.
Hermann's record and bespoke general
support in his behalf. He made a strong
speech, dwelling upon the importance of
expressing gratitude to Roosevelt for his
incalculable support to the Lewis and
Clark Exposition.
This is the big rally of the campaign in
Yamhill, and its success and enthusiasm
bespeaks heavy Republican gains on
June 6.
Polk Factions Fade Away.

cial.) The first meeting of the campaign
in Polk County was held in the large
auditorium here tonight Ii T. Harris
and Claude Gatch spoke. The Monmouth

tet sang. The county candidates were
out and there was a general revival of
party spirit, which augurs well for Re
publican success in June.
The factional feeling about which there
has been so much talk was not In evi
dence at tonight's meeting, and there is
every indication the Republicans will pre
sent a solid front on election day. A
free train will be run from Independence
and Monmouth Saturday to hear Fulton
and Hermann at Dallas. W. W. Per
clval presided at tonight's meeting.
Eighth-Ward Fight Still On.

unable to agree at any time since. Ef
forts have been made to settle the trouble

Nampa, Idaho
LA GRANDE, Or".. May 261 (Speclal.)
Articles of incorporation have been filed
for the Oregon & Idaho Short Line Rail
road Company, with R. W. Baxter, F. S.
Stanley and H. T. Hendry incorporators.
The objects of this company aro to con
struct and operate a railroad from a point
on the Columbia River accessible to river
steamboats, through the lower John Day
coal district, via Condon, Fossil and the
great wheat belt bordering the Blue Moun
tain range, and ultimately connecting with
the Oregon Short Line at or near Nampa,
Idaho.
This project offers needed transporta
tion for the coal Interests which are be
coming famous on the Lower John Day.
It also la a very feasible arid short route
for the O. R. & N. to reach the Columbia
River after leaving the Snake, without
crossing any drainage system, as the line
would follow the basin of the John Day
to a low gap opening Into the Burnt River
-basin, thus practically circumventing the
.Blue Mountains and missing the three
high divides now passed over by the O. R.
& N. at Meacham, Telocaset and Pleasant
Valley.
The company is acting for Eastern capl
taHsta Tne enterprise has taken such
favorable form that the work is to be
pressed on the coal deposits.
EUGENE GETS THE FAIR.
Douglas County Is Pacified With a
$500 Bonus.
EUGENE, Or., May 26. (Special.) H. L.
Traver, F. A. Rankin and J. M. Williams
returned this morning from Roseburg,
where they were successful In securing
the location of the next exhibit of the
Second Southern Oregon District Agricul
tural Society at Eugene. There has been
a strong desire to have tho Fair here
again this Fall, and the local directors
have been working for some tlmfe with
that end In view. Douglas County at first
objected on the ground that they were
still in debt ?'000 on their grounds at Rose
burg, which they hoped to be able to
raise if they had the fair there.
Then the Douglas County directors
made the offer that Lane County might
have the fair for three consecutive years
on payment of 51000 on the Indebtedness
against the Roseburg fair grounds. But
this was to. pledge on tho part of the
Douglas directors, whose term of office
only lasts forhe present year, and they
could not pledge any support of their
action by the directors who may succeed
them. For this reason Lane County
could not accept that proposition if it
wanted to.
At a meeting last night, however,
it was arranged that the fair should come
to Eugene this year and that Douglas re
ceive from Lane County 5300 bonus, and
also that two new directors will be chosen
from this part of the district to succeed
thoso from Douglas Count, who soon re
tire. PUT BULLET IN HIS HEAD.
Member of Tacoma Commission Firm

CHEHALIS, Wash., May 26. (Spe
cial.) Henry C. Foote committed sui
cide last evening about C o'clock two
miles southeast of Chehalls by shooting
himself with a revolver through the

FEW BOOkED FOR NOME.
Laboring Men Have Had Unpleasant
Experiences in the North.
SEATTLE, May 26. (Special.) A year
ago 2000 steerage tickets had been sold by
this time on the Nomo liners. Up to the
present time 500 have been booked on the
first boats out of tnis port for the North.
From these figures operators are draw
ing tho conclusion that there will be a
shortage of common laborers In Nome
during the coming season. In view of the
fact that the Council City & Solomon
Railroad will use about 1200 men during
the season there is apparently some basis
for tho contention that more men should
be taken north.
Laboring nym are not apt to, flock
toward Nome in large numbers this year,
for those who went North last year had a
hard season. Most of them loafed about
Nome without work, and the season was
so short that those who found plenty of
employment did not make much. While
there Is promise of a long season and
more work than usual, laboring men re
gard the situation as one that only ben
efits the steamship companies.
