DU6DALE STILL A5TRI0E FENCE Flirts With Pacific Coast and Northwest League Fran chises for Seattle. t ANXIOUS TO BE IN GAME JOx-Mnfrnate Sends Telegram Avoid ing Issue, While Judge MoCredle Walts to See If He Will Take the Seattle Franchise. MESSAGE FROM nVODALE. SEATTLE. TVah.. .Tan. 6. Pport- Ing Editor, Oregontan, Portland, Or. Northwestern Leanuo with Port land In Pacific Coast Iwu a fall are results speak for themselves. Northwestern country growing so rapidly need not look further for competition, and our business li an advertisement for each city repre sented, as each strives to win first place in the race, and the pennant Is t great honor to any city. D. E. DUGDALE. WITJi G. MACRAE. IiuKdale wasn't asked for a treatise on the development of the Northwest or the -alue of keen competition between cities for baseball pennant. What, lie was fcpked was his position in regard to tho Tresent baseball situation and whether lie fa vorrd the Padrtc Coaot League or the Northwest League. The answer fthOfts how far DiiRtiale comes to niak- inir an answer to the query- Everybody .knows about t he dcvrlopment of t he Northwest. That is one reason that the lans or Portland will have nothiw? to do with th Northwest Ieagnie. They know that to stand for Class B baseball Is taking a wtp back. That Dugdale Is flirting Is shown by Ills tOlegVftm. First and foremost. Dusr- dale want.s to break bark into baseball. Second, he wann to he in the kh mo mid re. the main ant-cease. Thl i k a very laudable ambition. Hut he Is .wanting tilM. Like President Lucas and a few -toreheads in Portland. Duprdale has liopoH that if iSenttle falls to put a team in the 'nn8t l-enifue, Portland wilt follow suit. Vnlpps there is a Wr Pwltcl, ill tllC Cal dilations of Judjire W. McCrcdie and Maniiffer Walter McCredie Portland will jto down tho line with the I'aclMc Coast l-easriic. They have their money hi the Iwsuness and JiuIrc McCrodie said yester day afternoon: "Jut an Ion a tho fanR of Portland want Pacific Coast T4arite tiHeehall, Walter and myself etand ready to jflve it to them. We could perhaps make move money bfl boinR In the North west League. This In not the question. We are out to Rive the farm the kind of baseball they want." rinjs rojy Hand, Getting back to Ouerdale. The fat boy Is xum playlnc a foxy hnnd. Me wants to jret lar-lc into hasrba 11 so bad that U iurtsyet before tie tie? tip llP want., to know what Portland will do. He .Dea kn the truth when he way a that a Nort hwcut LeaRiia without Portland Is a failure. rMifc had a crack at attempting: to run a leap- vithout Ihe support of One of the best baseball towns on the oast Portland. Naturally. If Portland would Join Sea ttle in its retrograde nane ball movement, then the Seattle franchise to Dugdale vould be a juicy and fat job for one fat man. But the franchise in Mr. Lucas' laRii without Portland, would be a box of lemons. Dugdale knows this. "That's WllV lie'S halting. Whrn he finds that there's no e ha nee for Portland to fall asm In for a fasrti under President f-u ca m' suporvlsion lie will break for Pacific Coast league wver. By mis time it may be too late. Jlldf.0. McCredle but for the pressure of court business would have srone to Seattle Just as soon as It was flven out that Russ Hall had jumped. He has Written tn DuRclniC find exports an early reply. Should thlB answer still be uncertain and evasive. JurtRp Mcfredle will make a per Fonal visit, to Seattle. This, however Will not tie before the week's end. for he cannot net away before '.hen. Judge Mc- Credle has no ears about being able to ret thoroughly reliable Seattle men to take the franchise. Neither has he any fear of President Lucas invading Seattle. This Is Coast I.pRsriie territory and the only way the Xprthwpst people coufl at tempt to enter Seattle would be to de- clara the league an outlaw. Portland Will Stand Pat. While an outlaw organization may not have difficulty in rounding up financial harklnir in Seattle, here in Portland it Is doubtful whether a dollar could be raised. A number of Portland business men were stuns when Jack Grim tried to put a team in the field against the Coasters. They went across the river for a ball park arid built a pood Krandstand. but there wasn't enough people passed through the gates while hey played there to rve the place the appearance of ever bavin been used. It was a failure then: It will be a failure if tried again. Dug dale cannot be blamed for wanting Port land m any league he has anything to So With, for by actual count more people aw the games this past season in Port land than attended all of the games in all of the towns during the entire season in the Northwest League. WILL NOT DROP CONTEST llarriiuan Officials Maintain Fight for Xortli Bank. Reports that the Columhia Valley Rail road Company, a Harrlman corporation, haa glren up the tight on the north bank of the Columbia in opposition to the -vrUand & Seattle Railway, are vigor OuMy denied by Harrlman officials who have been directing the struggle for the grade down the river. v.-'v. cotton, counsel for the Harriman mtercKtH in the Northwest, sa;d last night that the Harrlman people have by no means given up the tight. He saM they ftro still hoperul of victory and will push the pending litigation until rights along the Washington shore are definitely set tied. It was predicted some time ago that the Columbia Valley, having apparently ioct nght, would be compelled to with- Jraw sooner or later and the money so far spent In grading preliminary to con struction was a total waste. However. President Gerllnger, of the Columbia Yttl. Ify, Will IlOt yet admit defeat, and Bays the matter will be fought out in the -ourts. " We have not withdrawn our grading camps except in such cases as court de- Jisions ordprod our removal. As we were not allowed to work within SO feet of !h Portland & Seattle line, our construc- Uun has been somewhat interfered with. Men are still working on our line," said Mr. Gerlinser. "We have the law on our side and will by no means give up the flght for the north bank. We have 62 suits pending, which we will push in theh)gher courts. The Supreme Court has not yet been heard from and the Biddle case, allowing the Portland & Seattle to condemn right of way, does not affect us in any way. "We have not yet be (run to fight, and expect to win out In the end." DOCTRINE OF WORKING MAN V. I. Fisher Says Socialism Is Move- merit of Majority- "What is Socialism?" was the subject discussed by W. I. Fisher, formerly of J-yle, Wash., but now a resident of this city, at the regular weekly meeting of the socialists at their hall, 309 Davis street, last night. 'Socialism.' said the speaker, "is the result of the evolution of Industry and. society and comes as a result of a, for- mation of our present industrial system Jn that the means of production have ceased to be Individual and are socla-Uzed. .As r result of this condition, there are formed two classes in society having divergent interests. It is inevitable that classes shall have an expression of their clas interests on both their economic and political neki. Socialism la the expres sion of the interest of the "working class In economics and politics. In the growth, through the modern system, the working class is forced into contention with the capitalist class and becomes the over Whelming mass of society. "Socialism is a movement of the Im mense majority in the interest of the immense majority. Consequently, the working class, . being the overwhelming majority, will not permit plutocracy to always rule In Industry and politics, but as tkey see' their open, shameless and naked exploitation by the capitalist class, will seize the power of government and of Industry from those now their masters and administer It in the interest of the working class, thus doing away with all class exploitation, class oppres sion and class rule, abolishing all classes In society." J. M. Cameron was chairman of the meeting and supplemented the address of Mr. Fisher with a further exposition of Socialistic principles. SULLIVAN STILL SILENT Redoubtable I,arry M.

A raid was made this morning on a carload of coal brought here for the Northwestern Improvement Company, and almost the entire amount was carried off before Che company was aware of It. The tuel question is Btlll critical, HOLD PARTY IN LINE Retain Convention Feature in Direct Primary. JONES IDEA IS POPULAR Republican Politicians of Washing ton State Will Insist Xhat Old Institution Be Not Entirely Shattered by the People. SEATTLE. Wash.. Jan. 6. Special.) The convention feature "will probably be retained in any direct primary bill that is passed by the next legislature. Con gressman Wesley I Jones wants it. and since he announced his position prominent Republican workers have insisted that the position taken by the Yakima Congress man is correct. It was a-n original idea when the Yakima statesman put It before the Republican state convention, but in the four months that have elapsed local leaders In most of the counties of the state have adopted It as their own sug gestion. It has been repeatedly explained that the direct primary is more popular with the masses than with those who have to do with politics. The politicians have taken over the direct primary idea be cause It is. popular and because it Is time that something was done Ip politics to convey the impression that the general public had something to say about the people that rule over them. They have agreed to pass a direct primary bill be cause it Is best policy to do so. not be cause they want the institution. it introduces an inharmonious note In the poetry of politics and puts the bosses to the trouble of finding- some new method of keeping; control. catch Em Comln' and Goin', Whether or not there Is anything in the suggestion given by a prominent local' Uemocrat a few days ago that if the Re publicans ao not pass a direct primary bill the Democrats will win because of a failure to keep faith, and if they do enact such a law the Democracy Is cer tain of success because the new method i a third man's hope, Is accepted by Re- publican leaders an a definition of the party's dilemma. - it is acepptfa uiAi a oirct primary mu mot oe pasBea, out tne party is as Daoiv split over the exact provisions as it is possible to be. party is as badly IS Somehow those who have been In the habit of attending conventions do not want to disturb that institution. If H iS to do nothing more than adopt a platform. the politicians want that much of a sem blance of party organization. If possible, still more authority is sought for the con vention each biennial period. Sticklers for Second Choice. The direct primary league proposes that first and second choices be Recorded for every party nominee from Senator to Constable, arfd that Judges of Klectlon wrestle with the problem of finding a popular choice until they have balanced up all accounts. Politicians do not Know Mat t0 do With this second choice siig- Utestlon. It offers too many possibilities of chooflnit an - unpopular candidate. ThoBe who have followed the political game recall the assIijUOUS attention glVpfi l)y senatorial aspirants to second choice preferences of legislative nominees in pant nnnatorial contesW, and It has genpra 1 1 v proven true that the second choices won out, Fear Power of Newspapers. The troth f the matter Is that the Old politicians are afraid of the influence Of the newspapers upon the newcomers. This state is being so rapidly" settled by Kasterners that the crop of new voters every biennial period is sufficient to turn the scale of an election. As a rule, tile lieWCOmers are Republican in sentiment. and they come from the Middle West, where tlte voters are taueht to vote a straight ticket. If the nominations can be kept within party lines, unaffected by public print, the politicians have no fear of the direct primary. There are comparatively few offices that stir up the politicians, but for these few the "organization" is needed. Not to exceed a ecore of prominent politicians, as an example, have been taken care of by the congressional delegation, but there are hundreds of men throughout the state who are tapKed as politicians and who strut around biennially and assume Some of the responsibility for thefr elevation to office. That's all the satisfaction there is in it at present, but these "poli ticians" are chary about dividing this honor with the general public under a direct primary bill. Factional Lines Still Linger. It doesn't make any difference how much John I... Wilson may declare his divorcement from politics, away down deep the old timer in political affairs of this state can only see two Republican factions: the Wilson and anti-Wilson; or the Ankeny and antl-Ankeiiy factions. Govervor Mead. Land Commissioner Ross, the three Congressmen, the railroads, the anti-railroad group, the agriculturists, the urban and the rural vote are merely rated as incidentals. And no matter how humble or how exalted the position of the- old-timer in politics may be. his con cern In this -direct primary nght is whether the other faction is going to de. rive a benefit. The old-timer doesn't know what o do with the newcomer, and he wants the convention left to keep him In line. XEW OKEGOX CORPORATIONS Articles Filed AVith Secretary of State During; J,Rst Week.

Coal Thieves Believed to Have Set Building on Plre to Cover Their crinic-suppiics Destroyed. NORTH ' A'K IMA. Wagli., Jan. 6. (spe-iai.)-Tiie Hign school' building at this place, burned thin afternoon, with a loss of about $50,000 to the dis trict. " rriie origin of the fire Is tin- known, but Is supposed to have been Rtarted by someone stealing: coal from the baBt-mcn t. It was discovered at about 3 P. M. ana it was not until 6:30 that tho flames burnt from the roof. There wa a fire In the furnace in the basement, but the janitor had been to aee It and went through the building at 1 o'dork and reported everything in fcood condi tion and little fire in the furnace. When the firemen arrived on the . scene the blaze was In the coat pile, burning fiercely, and for two and a half hours they fought heroically to put It out. but it had aralned such a headway In every part of the basement that it was impossible to get It under con trol. The building was erected In 1900. at a cost of $21,000 to the district, but the same bulldlnpr could not be built today for $35,000, The loss in books and sup plies is estimated at about $12,000. The pupils lost about $1-00 worth of books and, other supplies. A library of 1500 books was consumed, and the private library of Superintendent Reed, con sisting of 300 books, was a total loss. There are 220 pupils in the HiKh. School department and 40 in tho one grade room in the building. The board will at once rent avail able halls and attempt to provide for the High School pupils. As the entire lot of supplies, consisting of all the books and stationery on hand, were destroyed and there are none In the city to be secured, it is probable that It will be some weeks before the dis trict will be in shape to operate school again. The Insurance on the building was about $10,000. The structure was of brick wal Is and wood Interior, but the walls are a total wreck. Killed Perhaps by Train. NORTH YAKIMA. Wash.. Jan. 6.
