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

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.

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.

for a his shooting- tournament during
the Lewis and Clark Exposition. It Is
the Intention of the club to spend $2500
In the big tournament and Invitations
will be sent out to all of the crack
trapshooters In the country to attend
the shoot. The most of this money will
be raised among the members of the
organization, but the Lewis and Clark
Commission will be asked to help In
the matter, by a special committee,
consisting of A. J. Winters. W. F. Lip
man. J. D. Honeyman and K. D. Inman.
president of the club.
This committee will wait on the
amusement committee and present its
plans for the coming tournament. Al
ready they count on having fully 500
trapshooters who, through letters and
by promises, have agreed to take part
in the shoot and at the same time
bring their families to Portland for
the Fair. In connection with the open
tournament will be the annual North
west shoot. The trapraen have figured
that In all there will be a weeks
shooting. ThC first three days will be
devoted to the big Northwest shoot,
which alone will bring to Portland
several hundred people, and then the
last three days will be occupied by the
tournament open to all comers. The
members feel that the honor of the
Portland shooters is at stake and they
will bend every effort In making the
tournament and the reception to the
visiting trapshooters a great success.
Since the club lost Its shooting
grounds near City view Park, It has
been x-lthout a place for Its traps, but
Ben Selling and Joe Simon have" given
the club permission to use a plot of
ground in Vernon, however. 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.

Lively Handball Contest.
The Portland Academy handball tour
nament has been progressing rapidly in
the past two weeks, and the Interest has
gradually centered about two teams
Moreiand and .Houston and Kerr and
Jones. Each of these teams has lost one
game and, in all probability, will have to
play off a. "tie" at the end of the tourna
ment. The chances appear to be slightly
in favor of the! former team since, thus
far, they have shown the best team work.
They defeated Jones and Kerr by a score
of 21 to 16 In one of the first games of the
season, but lost to a team that Jones
and Kerr had no trouble at all in beating.

where they were locked up. Had not the
policemen arrived when they did, murder
might have resulted, for one Japanese had
gone for a revolver, and Teached the scene
as the officers were leaving.
