10 THE MORNING OKEGOyiAN, FRIDAY . DECEMBER 23, 1904. KIT IN THE LEA Marion County Man Af ter Speakership. SAYS HE HAS RACE WOK Carter Brings- Uneasiness -to Dr. Kuykendall. HAS BECOME BIG OPPONENT Brownell Denies Being Candidate for Presidency of State Senate Un- t less Dr. Kuykendall With draws in His Favor. Representative T. B. Kay, of Marion County, leading candidate for Speakership of the House of Representatives, was dodging the chill raindrops In Portland yesterday; so was State Senator George t. Brownell. of Clackamas, whom rumor hath made a candidate for re-election to the Presidency of the Senate, even against his asseverations of loyalty to Senator W. Kuykendall. of Lane. Mr. Kay came down from the capital city on business connected, with his woolen mill and Sen ator Brownell to get the roar of "Willam ette Falls out of his ears. Since Senator R. V. Carter, of Jackson, jumped into the arena last week to com bat Dr. Kuykendall, who up to that time was the only avowed candidate for Presi dent he seems to have become a formid able opponent of the Lane man, and it is even said that he has stolen of the latter's thunder. Be that as It may, Kuykendall boomers are uneasy over Carter's advent Into the fray and arc made anxious also by rumors of Brownell's returning ambi tlrn. But the Clackamas Senator denied yes terday that he had any designs on the Presidency. Over and over again In the gloom of the short December day he de clared that he would cleave to Kuykendall. "Not a Candidate," Says Brownell. Tm not a candidate," he remarked, that's honest. I'm Just a humble citizen watching the raindrops fall." "Whereat the gentleman who was once acting Gov ernor for three days during the absence of Governor Chamberlain from the state, studied the dimples of the mud puddles. - "Under no circumstances?" was asked. ' Well." replied the Clackamas gentle man, "if Dr- Kuykendall should withdraw and Mr. Carter also and they should tell roe to go ahead, I might throw ray hat into the air and try It; but not till then. It wouldn't do; I couldn't afford it." But remarks are heard often that the Clackamas Senator might have won the gavel again had he refused to let. Senator Fulton and others pull him off in behalf of ; Kuykendall, to whom they said Brownell had bound himself up fast when he needed the Lane physician's assistance for the Presidency last time. It is reported that much as Brownell appears to be out of the game, he could be In it with a hatchet like Carrie Nation's if he desired and that if he could obtain three or four votes In Multnomah County he would be able to knock all the others into a cocked hat. But when Dr. Kuykendall was In Portland last week he expressed himself as well content with the outlook and as not per turbed with Senator Carter's onslaught, nor fearful of Senator Brownell's ad herence. Kay Leads on Speakership. Mr. Kay has been the most vigorous of the three avowed aspirants for the Speak ership and unquestionably has accumu lated more strength than A. A. Bailey, of Multnomah, or "W. L Vawter, of Jackson. He represented his county in the last House of Representatives and was chair man of the ways and means committee of that body. He was an active lawmaker and an aggressive debater. It has been re peatedly reported of him that he has promises of support from a majority of the Republican caucus of 50 membeis. Mr Kay confirmed that report by saying: I have every assurance that I shall be the choice of the caucus on the first ballot 1 say this not boastingly, but confidently. And when the votes of that ballot shall be counted I think 1 shall have several more than jl majority." How many more?" was asked. But Mr. Kay chose. not to go into fur ther details and turned the question by faying: It Is enough for me to say at this time that a numbor of those representa tives who have been counted as sup porters of Mr. Bailey or Mr. Vawter In newspaper reports have given me voluntary assurances of their good will and assistance. All the offers I have received are the more gratifying to me because I have given out no pledges of committee appointments." "Will you receive votes from Mult nomah County?" was asked. "I have friends in the Multnomah delegation." replied Mr. Kay, "and, of course. I should like to be aided by their votes." "Have you heard the reports that Multnomah may support Vawter?" Has Made No Promises. "Yes, but I do not believe them; neither do I see why this county should prefer a Southern Oregon man to one from Marlon. As I said, I have made no promises of committee appointments. I shall treat all counties fairly in awarding' places on committees, and I shall do that for Multnomah, even if this county should not give me its aid. Multnomah Is the foremost county and as the largest political factor in the state it should have fair recognition." "Does your campaign for the Speak ership have any bearing- on the United States Senatorial election that will come before the Legislature in 1907?'' "None whatever," replied Mr. Kay. "My canvass for the speakership has been entirely independent of that elec tion I Enough Without Multnomah. Multnomah members of the House have not yet chosen their candidate for Speaker, nor do they seem yet to' have received suggestions from Che head quarters of the political organization. Inasmuch as Multnomah sends nearly one-fourth of the Republican Repre sentatives to Salom. it has appeared necessary for the successful candidate for Speaker to make terms with this county's delegation, and therefore .the policy of the political managers In this county has been to let things sweat until they get "ready to do busi ness." But Mr. Kay's confidence would indicate that he has onough votes be hind him to control the caucus without Multnomah, for it is common knowl edge that among the 26 votes on which he relies none hails from this county. Better Than Commissioner. Napoleon Davis, who was a Portland Police Commissioner durincr Pennovcr'j administration as Mayor, and as private secretary " when Pennoyer was Governor, is now one of the foremost Grangers in Multnomah County. He has been elected master of Pomona Grange. Mr. Davis purchased a fine farm at Fairvlew several years ago, and retired from politics. He helped organize the Fairvlew Grange about a year ago and has pushed it to the front rapidly. - -At the annual election for Pomona Grange Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Davis easily distanced all other candidates at the start, and was elected master on the sec ond ballot by a large majority. The place Is one of considerable honor, and Mr. Da vis says' he prizes it above that of Port land Police Commissioner. It is safe to say that the Pomona Grange, during the coming year, will have an aggressive head, and that this branch of the Patrons of Husbandry in this county will have more influence than ever before. MUST CLOSE ON JANTTABY 1. Time Is Getting Short for t'ie Two Montavilla Saloons. The time is now"' short for the two saloons at Montavilla, as they must close up by the first of the year, ac cording to the vote cast in that pre cinct last November. Both are running quite the same as if nothing had hap pened, and as if their proprietors ex pected to continue in business indefin itely. William Grimes and Captain Her mann Schneider, proprietors of the two saloons, were present at the incorpora tion meeting Monday evening and shook hands with nearly every one present. Their faces were wreathed in smiles as if no wave of trouble dimmed the hor- MANY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS The buildings, preparation of grounds andxthe 2500 individual exhibits of the Lewis and Clark ' Centennial exposition that will be opened in Port land on June 1, next, will represent the investment of many millions of dollars.

Leaders of the fight against them say they are waiting to see what happens January 1 before they take any further action. Rev. G. H. Learn, of the Montavilla Baptist Church, in speaking of the mat ter, said: "If the law is enforced both saloons will have to close up, and if they don't there may be some more work for Sheriff Word." V. J. Burden, of the Anti-Saloon League, added: "We are waiting developments and will be prepared to meet whatever may come up." . ilAKES $5000 IN DEAL. Mrs. B. B.

Down in the vicinity of Third and Tay lor streets, where the annual poultry show Is in progress, the roosters are still crowing "Here it's morning all the time." The golden pheasants are still strut ting about the window, not so timid as upon the opening day of the show. Rab bits look at the crowds from dreamy eyes, turkeys fret In their cagest and gamecocks are aching for a fight. The crowds In attendance are increas ing daily.

The pigeons were hard to judge, so many of the birds possessing points of superiority. The class wherein was judged the likeliest male bird to fly 300 miles was particularly so. The first and second awards were final ly given E. H. Bauer, while J. P. Limer ick secured first and second awards In the hen division of the same class. F. Fenwlck was the sole exhibitor of black Langshans, and the fowls were worthy of the awards they received. Theodore Barr won first award on pet gamecocks on a. bird that looks the fighter to every feather. A few scattering awards yet to be made will be given out by the Judges today, and the remainder of the time during which the show lasts will be occupied in attending to the crowds who journey to the show to see the prizewinners. PRINCELY CATS FIGHT. Two Pedigreed Felines in Death Com bat Yesterday at Poultry Show. There was an encounter between two distinguished members of the feline fam ily at the Poultry and Cat Show yester day, morning which put fighting cocks and bulldogs in the background, as far as holdlng-on proclivities are concerned. Among the exhibitors of blooded cats is F. A. Stuhr, who has two large black and white Angoras of great beauty and mar velous pedigrees. The largest cat inth"e exhibition is his Black Prince, and this feline attracts any amount of attention by being placed in a cage with pigeons and birds. He is coal black, with white breast, white whiskers and four white boots, making him unusual in appearance. The other cat in question is marked ex actly the same, but Is younger and smaller. The Oregonian photographers called at the headquarters of the show at Third and Taylor streets to take some pictures of possible prizewinners. Black Prince was taken out of his cage and placed on a chair in a good light to pose for the- pho tograph. He was remarkably docile, and stood for all sorts of punching and mov ing and readjusting, but could not be . - ' n A A i We want to se" at ,ine f Andirons Cast Imported Folding Screens, Brass and Black Wood .

THE JOHN BARRETT COMPANY persuaded to hold his head up, so it was decided to make a flashlight picture. "If you are going to use the flash you would better take two of them at one time," said Mr. Stuhr, and hurried to an other cage and .brought Prince No: 2 and seated him on the chair with Black Prince. The latter turned his head slowly, but when he saw that another cat was beside him there was double-quick action. In an Instant there was a clinch and two great bundles of long black and white fur humped around on the floor so lively that the spectators all backed away. The owner jumped around excitedly until he could catch hold of one of the cats, but the bulldog trait was proven to exist In Angora cats, and as he lifted Black Prince the other came up with him. clinched in an embrace which would have proved deadly in a few minutes more. When they were finally separated they ran In opposite directions, and enough angora hair was left on the floor to stuff a large pincushion. Black Prince is now the center of attraction In Cat avenue, for a specimen that puts all cats in the neighborhood to flight That he will occupy a cage with birds without molesting them Is considered something of a marvel. IS NOW WILLING TO LIVE. Youth Recovers From Poison and Will Not Try It Again. It has developed that Miss Hazel Wil son, a pretty schoolgirl of 16 years, is the one for whom Bennie Boynton kept call ing as he -was being conveyed from the home of George H. Richardson, on the East Side, to the Good Samaritan Hos pital, Wednesday night. His plans to elope with her and marry her in San Francisco miscarried through the Inter ference of Detective Hawley, of the Boys' and Girls Aid Society. It was after this that he decided to take his life, and swallowed the poison. The young man Is all right now, however, and says he will never again attempt to commit suicide. Young Boynton has rather a bad name In police circles. He Is said to- have tramped all over the 'country, leading a generally useless life. 'She girl with whom he had planned to elope lives with her parents at Tremont, a Portland sub urb and is highly respected. PAEISIANCAEVniG.

WAS AN OREGON PIONEER Had Been Suffering for Some Months From Aphasia Did Not Recover Consciousness Before Death Is Widely Known. Horace S. Lyman, Oregon's foremost historian, died at 7 o'clock last night, at the Portland Sanitorium, after a severe Illness of over a month's duration. He ;was a cripple from childhood and never grew Into a robust health, but enjoyed a certain amount of good health until last Summer, when he wont to St. Louis to f'sme charge of the educational and hls ical features of the Oregon exhibit, eturnlng, he was attacked with apha sia, which finally developed into a stupor which could not be dispelled. Dr. S. E. Josephl performed an operation as a last measure two days ago, but Mr. Lyman remained in a comatose state until his death. All who knew Professor Lyman say he was a likeable man, and that he accom plished much good during his life. He knew more of Oregon's early history than any one, perhaps, in the state, and he wrote on the subject from the time of his college days. His chief work, "Lyman's ( History of Oregon," ln four volumes, is a well-written and accurate treatise. He came from an old pioneer family, f His father. Rev. Horace Lyman, was the , first pastor of the First Congregational Church In Portland, in 1S49. The elder Ly- . man cleared the land for the first build- I ing at what is now Second and Jefferson streets, and helped build the church with his own hands. In 1S50 he moved to a farm in Polk County, near Dallas, and there Horace was born, in 1S55. Studied for Ministry. A few years later the family moved to Forest Grove, where the late Mr. Lyman was educated at the Pacific University, graduating in 1S78. He always bore the distinction of being a good writer and showed a marked interest In the history of the state- After his graduation he took a theological course in Oberlin College, Ohio, and entered the ministry, filling a number of pulpits, but the greater portion of his life was devoted to education, and at all times he wrote extensively on the history of Oregon. Of late years he had resided In Astoria, where he was County School Superintendent for Clatsop County for eight years. The personality of Pfofessor Lyman was impressive, though he was a modest, retiring man. He stood for high princi ples of conduct and was a worthy man. Two si3tcrs and a brother survive Pro fessor Lyman. They are: Mrs. Newton McCoy and Miss Sarah Lyman, living in Portland, and Dr. William D. Lyman, of Whitman College, Walla Walln, Wash. Ladies' Night at Club. The much increased membership of the Multnomah Club was never better shown than last night, when they all brought their sisters, wives, sweethearts and moth ers. The whole building was crowded and the entertainment committee had provided an interesting programme. Parsons Or chestra furnished the music for the many gymnastic tricks. There were fully SO Juniors in their classwork. In the boxing matches no decisions were given. Edgar Frank won the wrestling match from O. Dranga by two falls out The Late H. S. Lyman. t i si fa U. is.;. : -A of three. There was, besides, gymnastic work of all kinds by juniors and seniors. A picked team defeated the second basket ball team by a score of 5 to 4. At the end there were swimming matches in the tank and exhibition games in the billiard room. GENUINE LETTERS TO SANTA CLAUS JULIUS L. MEIER Is playing the role of postman to Santa Claus. He daily receives hundreds of letters from little tots, and these he transmits direct to Santa Claus or to some of his vice-gerents on earth. Here are copies of some of the letters. The following from a little boy asking Santa. Claus to get his papa a job is a gem: Dear Santa Claus: I am a little boy, 6 years old. Please brine me a diamond rinj, a train of cars and get my papa a Job. Tour friend. SAM ; . Here is a Jirhmie boy who resents the. fact that Santa Claus has been called a "fake." At the same time he wants to be shown. Witness the following: Dear Santa Claus: Somebody said you was a fake, but I don't think so, and if you will bring- me all the presents I want I will know you are all right. I want a knife, a drum, a football, a book, "Happy Hooligan." a new cap and a nice tool chest. Tour friend. JIMMIB (aged 0 years). A Htle girl who wants lots of things also writes and with feminine precaution adds a postscript: Dear Old Santa: Don't, forget to come to my house. I want lots , of things some dollies, a doll bed. a st of dishes, lota of candy and, nuts, a workbox. and 1 want a tree. too. and I want a buggy for my doll. Your friend. NELLIE , P. S- Don't Yorget to come. . Jane starts her letter, "I try to be a good child" in rather a resigned way that suggests, perhaps that Jane doesn't always succeed. It is also evident from her request that she realizes it, for there Is a pathetic note In her letter: Dear Old Santa: I try to be a good child. Please bring me a nice present. I will be glad to get most anything. Your little friend. JANE . Little Alice shows an unselfish spirit in asking Santa not to forget her, little sister. She also confesses to a fond ness for perfumery: Dear Santa Claus: I wish you would brinff my little sister a doll. She Is S years old. If you have any perfume, you might bring it along, for I like It myself. My name is Alice , and my address is . John places his confidence In Santa Claus and his cheery -Merry Christmas" to the good old saint. Perhaps, boylike, he wants too many things to enumerate: Dear Santa Claus: I will hang up my stock ing, and you must be sure and find it and put some nice presents in It. I wish you a Merry Christmas, dear old Santa Claus. From your little friend, JOHN' . Eight-year-old Louise's Christmas hopes are centered In her dolly.
