Temple Deals Plainly With the Campaign Issues Against False Economy. s BAKER CITY. Or., May 18. (Special.) Amid cheers of a multitude of followers, James Withycombe, Oregon's next Gov ernor, rode through the streets of Baker C'tty this evening In state. Music by the tVhlte Swan Band, 'the flare of torches, the glow of red fire and thousands of Roman candles added brilliancy . to the scene. The procession was headed by mounted marshals, followed by the band. Following the band were carriages. In Which were Dr. Withycombe, the mem bers of his party and some prominent Republicans who were present to attend the rally. The procession wound through the principal streets of the city, ending its march at the Elks' Temple. Dr. Withycombe made the principal address of the evening. He was introduced by Mayor Johns as the next Governor of the State of Oregon. Speaks for a Greater Oregon. Dr. Withycombe arose amid a great au dience's thunderous applause, which did not subside for many minutes. He opened his address by expressing his surprise at the remarkable development of Baker City and Baker County In the last few years. He then passed to the subject of the united effort being made In all sec tions of the state for a greater Oregon. Taking up the matter of a higher stand ard of citizenship to be reached through education and the public example of of ficials leading a clean and honest life in all respects, he spoke most convincingly. He also touched upon the matter of taxa tion of intangible property and advocated strict Justice to all concerned. ; In his address Dr. Withycombe paid a high tribute to the members of the Grand Army of the Republic. The hardy pio neers of Oregon also were remembered. The speaker said Oregon's appreciation cannot be too high of the worthy men and women who crossed the plains, en during hardships and privations beyond description to give the Union one of its finest commonwealths. Dr. Withycombe stated that he believed in a broad and liberal policy of state gov ernment, economical at the proper points and not practicing false economy detri mental to the good of the state, especially In the matter of waterways, which he be lieved should be developed to such an ex tent that they would create competition with rail transportation, thereby reducing freight rates. Indorses New Primary Law. That the primary law is a success was the opinion expressed by Dr. Withycombe, who said that, although it 'will probably prove necessary to make some modlflca-, tions in the law as it now stands, the idea Is right, and tends to true govern ment by the people. Omnibus bills and riders were uncom promisingly condemned. He said that he was opposed to any appropriation which could not stand on Its own merits. Each appropriation should be separate and defi nite. He also expressed his belief In the power of the veto by the people, as well as that vested In the Governor. Following the speech of Dr. Withy combe, H. M. Cake, late candidate for the Republican nomination as United States Senator, and Willis S. Dunlway, candi date for State Printer, were Introduced by Mayor Johns and delivered brief but convincing speeches. '. Addresses Overflow Meeting. On account of the Immense crowd many people were forced to remain outside of Elks' Temple. These were addressed by Willis 9. Dunlway, who delivered one of the most brilliant speeches In the political history of Eastern Oregon. Mr. Dunlway summed up the qualifications of all the candidates on the Republican state ticket, giving a brief biography of each In turn. ills subject was one of the greatest in terest, and he was forced to repeat the address inside the hall later in the even ing. ' LET HANDS DOWN EASY. 31 til Lawyers Refuse to Interrogate Harrlman Attorney. VANCOUVER. Wash., May 18. (Spe cial.) After spending one day In court before Judge W. W. MCCredle, at Steven son, Skamania County, the attorneys for the Portland & Seattle Railway Company and the Columbia Valley Railway stipu lated to finish the trial of the right-of-way case referring to Skamania County In the Superior Court at Vancouver. Ac cordingly the trial, which was postponed last Saturday, was again taken up this morning before Judge McCre.tile here. Counsel for the Columbia Valley Com pany made a formal application for re moval of the case from this court to the United States District Court, stating that, since part of the land which the petition ers wished to condemn was the property of L Gerlinger, and he. was a resident f Oregon, the case .was properly under Federal Jurisdiction. Considerable time was taken in an ar gument of this matter, which waa taken under advisement. Upon further stipulation of the attor neys for the companies. It was decided to take the evidence in the matter, the same to he made of record, and have the same weight as If tt were offered after the decision of the court on the removal of the cause to the United States Court. The Portland & Seattle put but two witnesses on the stand James B.. Kerr, assistant secretary for the company, and N D. Miller, the chief engineer. The tes timony of these witnesses was regarding the financial backing of the company and the surveys it had made. Among the witnesses called by the Co lumbia Valley Railway Company was At torney E. M, Rands, who had been kept upon the stand during the previous ses sion for about two days. Upon taking the stand, he was asked by Attorney George W. Stapleton. "What Is your name?" "B. M. Rands," he answered. "That's all," said Mr. Stapleton. "No cross-examination," said Attorney James B. Kerr, and Mr. Rands left the stand. There was a ripple of laughter, which served somewhat to break the monotony of the case. The spectators were expecting some startling evidence, inasmuch as Mr. Rands was once cited for contempt in re fusing to testify. MADMAN BITHNS ROUNDHOUSE Destroys $10,000 Worth of Railroad Property In California. LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 18. Ten thousand dollars' worth of Southern Pacific property was destroyed by a supposed lunatic named Hancock near Indlo, San Bernardino County, last night.

(Special.) The plans for the young women's dormitory to replace Herrlck Hall, which was destroyed by fire last March, are nearlng completion. Whidden & Lewis, the architects, ex pect to have blueprints in a day or two, when final corrections will be made by the committee in charge. The building, which will be modern throughout, will be one story less in height than the former dormitory, but will have a great er ground area. ' It will have a good frontage, both to the south and to the west, so that it will appear to advantage on the sightly portion of the campus it is to occupy. The first floor is to contain the reception-rooms, dinlng-hall, art and music rooms, and quarters for the matron. The second and third floors are for students' rooms, exclusively. Building Is to be started before com mencement, and the dormitory will be ready for occupancy when school opens next September. WILL REBUILD THE FOUNDRY Centralia Company's Loss Not So Heavy as Reported. CENTRALIA. Wrash., May 18. (Special.) J. P. Symons, of the J. P. Symons Com pany, whose foundry at Centralia burned last Saturday, has already had plans made for the erection of a new building. The old building was a light frame structure and did not cause enough heat to injure the heavy machinery much, so the loss will be much less than at first thought. As the foundry building is in the recent ly established Are limits, the new building will be of brick. The foundry was work ing overtime, when it burned, and Mr. Sy mons will use every endeavor to get to work as soon as possible to get orders out. He expects to be casting within another week. It is estimated that the total damage to the plant will not go over J24.O0O. The patterns lost were valued at 19000. and the general damage at 115,000. The loss was partially covered by insurance.

Chamberlain at Prairie City. PRAIRIE CITY. Or.. May 18. (Special.) Governor Chamberlain addressed a large audience at the church in this city Tues day night. Representatives of various po litical faiths and factions were present. The brass band met the Governor on his arrival. He presented his usual argu ments for re-election. Will Work for Seattle Canal. SEATTLE. Wash.. May 18. (Special.) Ex-Governor John H. McGraw, president of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, and James A. Moore left tonight for Wash ington, D. C to urge the Government to permit the proposed, l.ake Washington Ca nal to be constructed by private capital on a modified plan. What the State All Republican Measures. Lebanon Criterion. Governor Chamberlain claimed in his speech here that he forced the Legisla ture to enact the "fellow-servant" law. This he claims he did by threatening to veto every law passed. The fact, as shown by the records, is that that law was Introduced iri the House as "House bill No. 74" early in the session of 1903 by Representative Hansbrough, -a Republican from Douglas County, a Republican coun ty. The bill was prepared before the Leg islature waa convened and before Mr. Chamberlain was inaugurated Governor, it was championed by Republicans, passed by a Republican Legislature, and Chamberlain had Just about as much to do with it as the man in the moon, and no more. So much for that claim. Another claim he made In his speech here was the credit of recommending and causing the enactment of the "inheri tance tax law." This bill was also en acted by the Legislature of 1903. It was lntrodiuced in, the House and was known as "House bill No. 41." It was also in troduced and championed by a Republi can, Mr. Malarkey, of Multnomah County. This bill, like the other one, waa among; those early Introduced and was prepared before Chamberlain was In augurated Governor and before he made any recommendation, and waa cham pioned by Kepubllcana and passed by Republicans. The other bill he claims so much credi for causing the enactment of was the "corporation license law." This bill was introduced in 'the House on the first day of the session of 1903 by Mr. Eddy, a Re publican of Tillamook County, and was known as "House bill No. 2." Mr. Eddy had put in months preparing this bill be fore the Legislature met and before Mr. Chamberlain was Governor. And he had absolutely nothing; to do with lt enactment or preparation and la en titled to no credit (or It becoming a law. These matters are the records of the Legislature, and not what we say about the subject, and may be found in the Journals of those bodies. Another thing which might be men tioned is that all these laws were recom mended by a Republican State Convention before Chamberlain was even nominated for Governor. So it may be easily seen that these are not Democratic measures at all, but were recommended by a State Republican Convention, prepared by Re publicans, introduced by Republicans, championed by Republicans and enacted into law by an overwhelming Repub lican Legislature, and are therefore in all reason Republican measures; yet In the face of such a record and this array of facts. Chamberlain stands up before the people and says he caused the enactment of all these laws. Claiming; Everything. Ashland Tidings. Governor Chamberlain is claiming credit for Oregon's corporation and Inheritance tax laws now, which bring large sums Into the State Treasury. "George" drew them up and passed them, and is collect ing the cash on them every day. Verily, what would the Legislature and the rest of the state government count for, any way, if it wasn't for "George"? Standing Firm In Benton. Corvallis Gazette.

Dr. AT CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS HAS LARGE AUDIENCE. Handles Republican Campaign Is sues in Masterly Style Stands Firm for Chinese Exclusion. MED FORD, Or.. May 18. (Special.) Walter C. Hawley was the principal speaker at the Republican rally here to night. A large audience gathered to hear him and was not disappointed. His speech was a brilliant effort and he held the attention of the crowd to the end. After speaking of the principles of the Republican party and what the Republi can party stands for, he weYit into details as to what the Republican party is try ing to accomplish; "The tariff," said Mr. Hawley, "is a good thing, but not a sacred affair that may not be changed when time proves that in certain spots it is defective. A schedule that was right five years ago may not be fair now, and if that is the case it should be changed." He pointed out the great prospective benefits of the Panama Canal, com menced under a Republican ' administra tion, to the Pacific Coast. Good roads and the benefits conferred by them on the rural population Is a theme that ap pealed to the people of this county, and the speaker proved that he was acquaint ed with his subject. The need of appro priations for the Columbia River and for the reclaiming of Oregon's arid lands was dwelt upon. Mr. Hawley showed that the Industrial trusts are the children of discriminations in railroad rates and that the railroads have until now violated the law forbid ding discriminations with Impunity. Now, under a Republican administration, a rate bill has now been passed that will cure the evil. America welcomes to this country any man, or body of men, capable of being absorbed into the body politic, but when Oriental coolies come to this land in large numbers America, in self-protection, must bar the door. A large Asiatic popu lation in this country -would destroy the main source of its wealth: the farmers of America want :no man who is not capable of and who does not insist upon owning himself. Any attempt to establish slavery or coolie labor will not be tolerated by the American people. As well cut down the staff from which ftoatu the Stars and Strips as open the Nation's doors to an Influx of Chinese.' " Mr. Hawley spoke for an hour and a half, and was frequently interrupted by applause. He was followed by E. T. Staples, for State Senator, who clearly presented his platform. FALLS FROM MOVING TRAIN Boise Druggist Has Strange Experi ence While Temporarily Deranged. BOISE, Idaho, May 18. (Special.) Sid ney St. John, a Boise druggist, was brought home last night from La Grande, Or., after having passed through a strange experience. He started to Hot Lake for his health, but in some manner fell off the train near La Grande. His daughter, who was on the. train, missed him in the morning and gave the alarm. The Elks took up the search for him. but he was found by a farmer under a bridge near La Grande. fie had evidently walked off the train while in a state of temporary aberration. Though ho had sustained no serious injuries, he was bad ly bruised. His mind seems badly affect ed. Only at times is he rational. He is one of the proprietors of the Overland Pharmacy. Col. S. W. Scott Critically III. SEATTLE, Wash., May 18. (Special.) Colonel 9. W. Scott, right-of-way and gen eral land and tax agent of the .Pacific ,c. Papers Say About the Campaign James Withycombe, is a citizen of Ben ton County. This appeals to the local pride of our people. He will receive many votes more than the entire Republican vote, and he should. The several candi dates on the county ticket are, for their respective offices, equally entitled to party support. They are good, honest, competent ana observing men, ana tne chosen nominees of the party. Unless they, too, are' elected. Republicans may not so easily claim the felicitations of the whole party within the state. The Just conclusion of the whole matter is, support the whole ticket. Holler .Plate Politics. Baker City Herald. Notice the way these wise ones prog nosticate and prevaricate. See how they chip in their chime in the Democratic anthem until the discordant diapason be comes a tlntinabulation of little bells on little sheep Jangling with the sonorous clap-clap of the bell-wether. Boiler plate, all of it. Some Democratic chair-warmer around the headquarters gets a hunch that something has settled on his think factory, and immediately he proceeds to put that something into a tangible shape, boiler plate preferably. His remuneration is ofttimes glory and ofttlmes a hand out, but the stuff goes through Just the same. When it appears in impressions it la fathered by the chief feather-wearer, who fathers it until some one comes along and hits him over the head with a club and he wakes up. Immediately it is dropped for another bunch of dope which has the same origin and appears in the same form, boiler plate. Sore for Mr. Bourne. Pendleton Tribune. That Jonathan . Bourne, Jr., will be elected United States Senator, in June is no longer a question. The opposition that arose against him, inspired by Dem ocrats' and a very few Republicans, has disappeared with remarkable speed, and the only feature of his campaign now is the size of his majority, which some well known men place at 20.000. A Hard-Worked Secretary. Albany Herald. If any Democrat deserves recognition it is Private Secretary Gatens. A bright, unassuming young man, Mr. Gatens has during a large part of the present admin istration conducted the affairs of the Governor's office. Often the Governor has been absent, electioneering. making speeches where it seemed they might some time bring votes, frequently on pleasure bent, wherever the poppy-strewn path led. If what the present adminis tration claims is in any measure sub stantiated, the Democratic nomination for Governor ought to have come to Mr. Gatens, who has for a long time cheerful ly performed his own duties and those as well of his chief.

The Democratic ticket Coast Company, has been stricken with paralysis on his left side and may not re cover. Nine years ago a stroke affecting his right side was not serious enough to leave lasting effects, but Colonel Srott, veteran railroad man, soldier, Indian agent and business man, is too weak to withstand his present attack. Colonel Scott was engaged in the construction of the Panama Railroad in the '50s, and com manded the Seventh New York during the Civil War. He has been with the Pacific Coast Company and the Oregon Improve ment Company, Its predecessor, for 16 years. LETTERS THAT BROUGHT JOY Brothers Separated in Earthquake Write Third Brother In Honolulu. HONOLULU, May 9. (Special Corre spondence.) Two brothers, who were for merly living together in San Francisco, became separated during the earthquake and fire in that city, and each has written a third ' brother Irving in this city to the effect that he had reason to believe that the other had perished in the catas trophe. J. A. Lucas, the local member of the family, had been anxiously await ing news .from his brothers, and instead of feeling sorrowful with the receipt of the letters, as the writers may have ex pected, he was quite overjoyed to find that It was all a mistake. The letters were received at the same time. The two brothers who had been mourn ing each other's death are Casiano and Guiseppi Lucas. The former wrote from Oak'land under date of April 26 and the latter wrote from San Francisco under date of April 21. The letters arrived here last Saturday with the first mail received from the mainland since the earthquake. J. A. Lucas has written to each of the brothers telling of the other's existence.

Art ordinance to raise the saloon license to $1000 was read the second time and re ferred to the Judiciary committee. A rather warm argument occurred be tween Mayor Stoddard and Councilman 'E. W. Bartlett, which terminated in Mar sh! Ravburn being called upon to con pel the Councilman to take his seat after he had refused to do so at the command of the Mayor. The controversy took place after a motion was made to adjourn which displeased the Mayor because no business of importance aside from the election had been taken up. The Mayor gained his point.

The one ticket was selected by the peo ple, the other by politicians. Every Re publican then owes it as a duty to sup port the ticket that his party has nominated, and he should use his best effort to secure its election. Deserves Well Hla Suceess. Eugene Guard (Dem.). Robert Eakin visited Eugene, his old home, over Sunday. X struggling young lawyer here not so many years ago. he saw better opportunity in the newer, undeveloped Eastern . Oregon, has gained deserved standing at the bar, service on the bench, and now stands fair to gain the highest Judicial position in the gift of his fellow citi zens a seat on the Supreme Court bench. From a rather intimate personal acquaintance with Mr. Eakin, when he was in the first of his practice had more time than clients when he was in position to speak his full mind on ethical and political questions without fear of compromising himself, we can not but think that he deserves all suc cess that has come or may come to him. Where la the Logic of Itf Astorian. Why. in the name of all that is regular and patent and honest, should the twenty odd thousand of majority Republican votes in the State of Oregon be swept aside to make room for the "minority party" of the state? What conceivable basis can be laid for such action? Where is the logic of it?. With a ticket in the field that simply exhausts the wisdom and good faith of the people who chose it to represent them in the official organ ism, and with absolutely nothing to coun teract it by way 'of opposition that excels It at any point, this talk of the proba ble, or possible success of George E. Chamberlain in the Gubernatorial race is idiotic. Not a Factional Candidate. Canby Tribune, Many Clackamas County people are per sonally acquainted with Dr. Withycombe. the Republican nominee for Governor. He held farmers' Institutes here last Fall and made some very valuable talks on progressive agriculture. It would have been a hard task for the Republican party to have selected a- stronger, cleaner, broader man than Dr. Withycombe. He has secured the nomination without tying himself to any faction or making any promises. He Is not a factional man, and his election will mean harmony in the party and a clean business administration for Oregon. No Mm "RMwvelt Democrats." Salem Statesman. Harry Murphy's cartoon In yesterday's Oregonlan was his masterpiece. "Damn the President ; he's a liar, a sham, a fraud but we're for him, you bet your life," say Chamberlain, Gearin. Lane. H alley and all the Democratic contingent, is its theme. Tillman, Bailey and other Sena tors have given the snap away, and the Democrats of Oregon can't use Roosevelt as their "thunder storm" any more. There are no more "Roosevelt Demo crats." All Republicans are now Roose velt Republicans. Works on His Farm at 84 yaw MR. REUBEN EMERY. Mr. Emery, who is nearly eighty-five years old, is as active as a boy, and takes pleasure in performing the most difficult and fatiguing work on his farm at Caro. Mich.

Agnew, manager of the Seattle Ba.eball Club, made the unqualified state ment tb The Oregonlan correspondent to night that Seattle would remain in the Pacific Coast League and play out the schedule. A Jocular remark Agnew made when in the South was misinterpreted, he says, and there is no truth in the rumor that he is not satisfied with the arrange ment made during the recent conference.

Or., May 18. (Special.) Pendleton is again at the foot of the lad der, so far as pavements are concerned. At the special meeting of the Council called for this evening to consider the final steps necessary to be taken, a sur prise was sprung by City Attorney John MeCourt, who had been investigating the matter and who stated that, on account of certain errors in the publication of the resolution of the Council the property owners could legally refuse to pay their assessments and therefore throw the whole cost of the improvement upon the city. In the original publication no provision had been directly made for a drainage sewer, and other specifications were not definite. It was therefore ordered by the Council that the City Attorney prepare specifications, plans and new resolutions in time for the next regular meeting of the Council, when republication will be ordered. All this will take at least another month. Chemist Fonnd No Poison. COLVILLE. Wash.. May 18. (Special.)

It is almost as hard for an old coffee toper to quit the use of coffee as it is for a whiskey or tobacco fiend to break off, except that the coffee user can quit coffee and take up Postum Food Coffee without any feeling of a loss of the morning bev erage, for when Postum is well boiled and served with cream, it is really better in point of flavor than most of the coffee served nowadays, and to the taste of the connoisseur it is like the flavor of fine Java. A great transformation takes place in the body within ten days or two weeks after coffee is left off and Postum Food Coffee used, for the reason that the pois on to the nerves has been discontinued, and in its place is taken a liquid that contains the most powerful elements of nourishment. It is easy to make this test and prove these statements by changing from coffee to Po3ttim Food Coffee. "There's a reason.'"
