SOLONS ARE COMING I do not need it; stiU I should like to have it." Whereat Mr. Baker perceived that 3r. Carter was smiling and guessed that he -was joking. "Ha, ha.7 laughed the chairman. 'No, I'm very serious." protested the man from Jackson, but Mr. Baker re plied that he could be of no service, since his jurisdiction was outside of Multno mah Count. MANY THE MOST COSTLY Portland Is the Mecca of the State's Lawmakers. Holiday Festivities Fall t Mar Interest In Plant-Buying. Al THE THEATERS immmSSSSUhrmi KUYKENDALL-MILLS COMBINE Alliance Is Backed by Republican Or ganization of State and Multno mah County Carter and Kay Not Dismayed. To elect Dr. W. Kuykendall. of Eugene. President of the Senate, and A. L. Mills, of Portland, Speaker of the House, the Republican organization of the state, whlch centers In Multnomah, and also that of this county, are working to pull away votes from E. V. Carter, of Ash land, and T. B. Kay. of Salem. But the Ashland man and the Salem man an nounce they are in the fight to stay and that they are confident of success. The strong influence behind Dr. Kuykendall and Mr. Mills is making Itself evident throughout the state, however, and as the lawmakers come to Portland they per ceive Multnomah's power. By the end of the week nearly all will have visited the shrine in this city. With Multnomah's 20 votes in the 'Leg islature the managers of the Kuykendall Mills movement say that this county will be able to bring enough pressure to bear on other counties to secure their organ ization of the two houses. They say that Multnomah's two delegations will be solid and proof against foreign engagements, and able, through their power In legisla tion, to secure their ends. They point out that the one cause of Multnomah's failuro to organize the legislature two years ago was split delegations. They aver that as Multnomah pays nearly one third of the state taxes and sends more than one-fourth of the Republicans to tho Legislature, 4t should exercise its full prerogative. Inasmuch as Kuykendall seems in a fair way to win In tho Senate, his election, say his backers In this county, will holp Mills' election in the House. becauFO members of the House will sec that their advantage lies ia courting the favor of Multnomah. Carter and Kay Undismayed. But chiefs In the Carter and Kay camps say they are not dismayed because, as they assert, their friends cannot be pulled away. That's what Mr. Carter said last night and what Mr. Kay said on his last visit to Portland and In subsequent dis patches from Salem. Strong efforts arc being put forth to ally Eastern Oregon, for with Mills, especi ally those who are friends of M. A. Moot)-, but it is understood that not much success has been attained yet in that di rection. Among those who have been sought after In tho last two days by the Multnomah workers are Stclner of Lake. Klamath, Grant and Crook, and McLeod of Union and Wallowa, both of whom are In Portland. Stelnor Is reported to have reaffirmed his allegiance to Kay, while MrLeod has been noncommittal as to his choice. Mills Boomers Confident. However, the Mills boomers are very confident of their ability to bring down the game, for they declaro that Kay Is deceived as to the promises which ho has received. It is very evident, however, that the -contest la going to be so close that the winner will escape defeat as if by the skin of his teeth. W. I. "Vawter, of Mod ford, has a bunch of some six votes, which he says will aid him to secure the Speakership, but they will probably come into play In a com bination with Mills or Kay. Both the Mills and the Kay contingents are ar ranging for an alliance with Vawter, so that tho Jackson man will have a very fine chanco to flirt. Mr. Vawter is ex pected to return to Portland tomorrow, whence he flew to Spokane several days ago. so 'twas said, but rumor has it he went to Eastern Oregon to pay his re spects to certain gentlemen whom he has not yet "seen." , Proposals have been made by him to the political leaders in this county, and have been taken under advisement. Their coun ter proposals have been received by him for the same kind of rumination. When he gets back, things promise to be doing, for Kay is expected to be on the ground with a bid of his own. The probabilities are that Vawter can deliver more votes to Kay. however, than to Mills, because three of his supporters have already sig nified to Kay their willingness to go to tho lattor's camp for second choice for Speaker. They are believed to be Gray and Sonncmann, of Douglas and Jackson, though it has been reported of Sonnemann that ho would never support Kay. Vaw ter's two other votes, besides his own, those of Von der Hellen, of Jackson, and Hermann, of Coos, are understood to be at his disposal, though It has been re ported of Hermann that he and Kay are not friends, on account of a disagreement at the last session of the Legislature. The Carter boom concerns those who hope that Multnomah might go to Vaw ter, because it would be manifestly Impos sible for Jackson County men to be chiefs of two houses of the Legislature. Twenty-Six Votes Name Speaker. The number of votes necessary for a caucus nomination is 26. Of these Mult nomah will give Mills 13 If- the House delegation shall be a unit. Therefore 13 more will be needed, and to get them Mills' supporters In this county are now at work. The Washington delegation of three members Is feeling the pressure as much as any other, for attempts are un derstood to have been made to line them jp. Reports received from there yester day said that such attempts there would -mainly fail insofar as one representa tive was concerned, and that all three had given their promise to Kay in writ ing. Outer of Benton and West of Tarn hill and Tillamook and Mayger of Colum bia are also sought after by the Mills ramp, but are said by the Kay people to have allied themselves, as have the members from Washington. Miles of Yamhill is another of the solons whose allegiance Is claimed in both camps. E. V. Carter has put up at the Imper al. whero he has fortified himself for he pro-legislative contest: He announced last night that he needed only 13 votes 'o win the caucus nomination, and that ae had that number already In sight. To the remark that "13" would prove un lucky for somebody, Mr. Carter replied Jauntily: Mr. Carter Calls on Frank C. Baker. Not for me," and said that he would surely sit In the President's seat in the Senate under the painted picture of Dr. McLoughlln and in front of the living picture of Dr. Kuykendall. Mr. Carter added good-naturedly that while he did not expect to receive the solid vote of Multnomah County, still he believed It would not be united against him. He called on Frank C Baker in the course of the day and said solemnly to that big chief of the Republican hosts of Oregon: "Mr. Baker. 1 have called to give you official notification that I am to be the next President of the State Senate." Mr. Baker stared. "And." went on Mr. Carter, "to inform you that I shall preside for the best In terests of the Republican Interests in the state." Mr. Baker kept on staring. As a matter of courtesy." added Mr. Carter, "I thought It was duo that I should let you know of my plans. I sup pose that I can count on your.ald toward setting the support of Multnomah County. What the Press Agents ay. SPECIAL MATINEE TODAY. Williams and Walker in Their Latest Success, "In Dahomey." This afternoon, at 2:15 o'clock, a spe cial matinee will be given at the Mar quam Grand Theater, when the famous colored comedians, Williams and Walker, supported by the best company they have ever brought to the Coast, will present their latest success, "In Dahomey." This, the greatest company of "colored folk" In the country have delighted two crowd ed houses at the Marquam the past two evenings. The last performance will be given tonight. "The. Last Word" at tie Columbia. "The Last Word," which has made such favorable impressions at the Columbia this week, is commonly mentioned as being a comedy, but, while the element of -wit and humor doubtless predominates through out the play, there is at the same time much of the story of real life of every body's life with its traces of sorrow and anxiety. The plot, by that groat master playwright, Augustin Daly, is strong and original, being especially well rounded out by tho clever members of the favorite stock company. "The Last Word" all this week at the Columbia. "The Show Girl" at the Empire. "The Show Girl." which continues at the Empire for the balance of the week, with a matinee Saturday, has much to rec ommend it to lovers of light comic opera, It is a catch, tuneful play, enlivened with a number of good specialties. The girls are attractive, prettily costumed and gift ed with good voices. From beginning to end the play is filled with clever bits of music and dashes of rollicking fun. The octette song and dance has much of the witchery of the famous double sextet. Throughout the whole performance comes the swish of the silken skirts, the patter of nimble feet, the gleam of pearly teeth and glimpses of shapely figures. COMING ATTRACTIONS. Advance Sale Today. To see Shakespeare's delightful com edy, "Twelfth Night," acted exactly as it was in tho days of Its original per formance under the direction of Shakespeare himself.

Those who have already been Im pressed by "Everyman" will welcome the opportunity to see the Ben Greet players in something less serious; for these accomplished English players are aa well known in their own country and In the East for their delightfully humorous portrayals of Shakespeare's comedy characters as they are for their "wonderfully raverent performance of religious "Everyman." , As Friday night happens to be twelfth night after Christmas, Mr. Greet has selected the comedy of that name, as It Is his custom to revive this play on January 6, each year.

Frederick Jenklnson, one of the counsel tor Rev Dr. Irvine, in his case against Bishop Talbot had gone to St Louis for the purpose of withdrawing the presentment and asking permission of Bishop Tuttle to make a new presentment, proves to have been erroneous.

Mack's store and mapped out plans for a his shooting- tournament during the Lewis and Clark Exposition.

The traps and the clubhonse. which are at City View Park, will be moved to Vernon and within the next couple of weeks the -new shooting grounds will be ready. It is the Intention of the club members to spend $2000 or more in fit ting up these grounds and installing new and up-to-date traps. The traps have been ordered from the East and are the best that anoney can buy. The clubhouse, while It will not be an elaborate one, will be very comfortable. A shooting-shed will also be built. so as to protect the trapshooters from the weather In case It should rain dur ing the time when some of the squads are at the traps. Most of the prizes which will be given during both the Northwest shoot and the big touma ment will be cash. There will also be gold and silver medals given. FAVORITES HAVE INNINGS.
