7 WANT ND CHEAP MAN Grangers Demand Practical President for 0. A. C. WOULD INCREASE SALARY Pass Resolution Calling t'pon Re gents to Appoint an Educator of Wide Experience and National Reputation. if Possible. Pomona Grange. Patrons of Husbandry. In session in the Oddfellows Hall yester day, entertained by Russellville Grange, went on record unanimously as believing that the man selected as the next presi dent of the Oregon Agricultural College shall be a man of National reputation and specially fitted to head an agricul tural school. Thomas Paulson, member of the state executive committee, sub mitted the following resolution, which was adopted after extended discussion: Whereas, There is at present a vacancy In the office of president of the Agricultural College, and Whereaa, Thia office will be filled in the nar future by the regents of said college, therefore, be it Itesolved. That we, the members of the Pomona Grange, of Multnomah County, de mand that whoever in appointed to this office shall be a man thoroughly competent by actual experience in the work of edu cation as it pertains to' agriculture and a man of National reputation If possible. Mrs. Clara H. Waldo, member of the board of regents, was present and said that the regents were looking for just J. J. Jnhnnon, Xewly-lnntulled ter of lomona (j range. 31ai- l such a man and expressed satisfaction with the indorsement. She said that the president of the Oregon Agricultural Col lege had been receiving $3U09 a year, but expressed the opinion that a much larger I salary would have to be paid in future for the right man. Several men were under consideration, she said, one of whom is now being paid $OH a year. Mrs. Waldo said that next year 1200 students are expected to attend the school. . It was the opinion of several who spoke on the subject that a suitable president could not be secured for less than $o0X) r year. Mrs. Waldo introduced resolutions in dorsing the action of the State Grange executive committee in proposing the ref erendum on the compulsorv pass law, which failed at the last session of the legislature, and also to repeal the law- passed appropriating $100,000 to build eight armories in different towns in Oregon. Referendum Move 1m Indorsed: The convention quickly indorsed the first resolution regarding the compulsory pass law, but a strong fight was made on the resolution against the appropria tion for building armories. It was led by Napoleon Davis. He made a strong argument against the resolution on the grounds that it would be defeated If it went to a vote, and the odium would fall on the Patrons of Husbandry. He ridiculed the idea that It was a burden on the taxpayers and declared that the appropriation was one of the most worthy made by the recent Legislature. It would tend, he said, to foster the mili tary training of young men. and he re ferred effectively to the glory of the Sec ond Oregon Regiment. Mrs. Maggie A. Johnson, of Clackamas County, spoke against the resolution and declared that the young men would be arraigned tigatnst It, and would secure military training In spite of all opposition. Mrs. Waldo replied to the objections ::rgcd. declaring that the referendum was not aimed at the militia of the state, hut was in the Interest of true economy; besides the bill proposed to establish these armories in towns where there were no military companies, and the executive committee deemed that it ought to be submitted to the people. Rev. Hiram D. Yrooman and Timothy BrownhiU sup IKrted the resolution, and !t was adopted by a large majority. At tlie request of Mrs. Waldo, who is the state lecturer, an advisory commitee of three was appointed to confer with like - committees from other portions of the state and the State Grange executive committee relative to the slate of the order and general laws. Changes Grange Procedure. F. M. Gill had a resolution passed ex pressing the sentiment of the convention that all laws passed by the State Grange should be subjected to initiative and referendum in the order, lie explained that, as the grange was the father of the Initiative and referendum laws. It should be willing to submit its own laws to the same test, and the majority in dorsed that view The convention indorsed the movement of Multnomah County Court to invoke the referendum against the law passed by the last Legislature taking the care and feeding of prisoners away from the County Court and placing them in the hands of the Sheriff. Superintendent Chapman, of the Kelly Butte rock quarry, was present and explained the situation there. A resolution was passed expressing the sentiment of the convention that the con stitution should be so amended that the members of the Legislature would be elected by districts instead of at large, as at present. The convention accepted an invitation to meet next June with Columbia Grange, east of the Sandy River. An appropria tion of $20 was made to assist the local -range In entertaining Pomona. Mrs. E. A .

LAY PLANS FOK COMING MU NICIPAL CAMPAIGN". Leaders Confer at Dinner Given by State Senator S. C. Beach. Auditor Devlin Attends. There is a movement on foot to organ ize thoroughly the Republicans of Mult nomah County into one solid fighting body, with a view to carrying the party to victory in the June election. For some' time past a number of prominent Republicans have had under discussion plans looking forward to such an organ ization, which would conform strictly to the provisions of the direct primary law. The first movement in this direction was given Impetus last night at a din ner given by State Senator S. C. Beach at the Commercial Club, at which City Auditor Thomas Devlin, one of the Re publican candidates for Mayor, was a guest. While the dinner itself was rather an Informal affair, it was a sort of a Re publican love feast, at which 15 represen tative Republicans sat down. After the dinner was served there was a general discussion of plans for a Republican or ganization. It was the opinion of all those present that the Republican party of Multnomah County had no end of good material in its ranks from which to se lect candidates- for the various municipal offices to be filled. The consensus of opinion of the gath ering was that it was time to end the Democratic rule In city government, and that, in order to accomplish this, only the best men in' the party should get the support of the Republican party. Just how the plan is to be worked out was not determined upon last night, but, as other dinners of this sort are to fol low, it is believed that a plan of action will soon be decided upon. Those who were present at the dinner were the following: State Senator S. C. Beach, Slate Senator C. W. Hodson. State Senator A. A. Bailey. State Senator Sig. Sichel. Representative J. C. Bayer, Representative Joseph W. Beveridge. J. W. Sherwood, secretary of the Republican Central Committee; Dr. Emmett Drake. David Mosessohn. Judge W. M. Cake, J. T. Gregg. W. M. Davis, E. C. Robblns. Colonel J. 13 Eddy and City Auditor Thomas C. Devlin. On the streets and around the places where politicians are wont to gather, the Commercial Club dinner was the general topic of conversation yesterday: One of the absolutely new things po litical yesterday was the positive state ment from Dan McAllen that he is not and will not be the Democratic candi date for Mayor. "Father" Dan was asked yesterday If he was going to be a can didate, and he said "No" very loudly, too. The refusal of McAllen to come out and oppose Mayor Lane will be a serious setback to the hopes and ambitions of those Democratic brethren who have the ax out for the "Little Doctor." They will be forced now to seek a new Moses. Mrs. Woodcock's Boom Promptly Squelched OrrKnn Woman Nominate the Prraldenl for Third Term, Writes Him About It and Re ceive a Mote Declining- Honor. IT HAS remained for Mrs. M. L. Woodcock to set at rest the hopes of Oregon Republicans that President Roosevelt will consent to be a candi date for re-election. As is well known Mrs. Woodcock keeps the President well informed of Oregon events, frequently writing him letters telling him of her exploits In company with "the Roosevelt flag." In answer to a recent epistle she received the following reply. It will be noted that the President writes, as Is his custom, through the medium of his secretary, William Loeb, Jr. Here is the letter, carried direct by U. S. mail, from the White riouse to Mrs. Wood cock's residence at 408 East Pine street: "THE W-HITE, HOUSE. Washington March i. 1907. "Dear Madam: Tour letter of the 4th instant has been received and the President requests me to thank you for writing. "While the President appreciates your kindly expressions lie has nothing to add to his statement issued on the night of his election In 1904. Very truly yours, WILLIAM LOEB, Jr. "Secretary to the President." On the night of the election in 1904. it will be remembered, Mr. Roosevelt announced that he would not be a can didate for re-election, believing that the third term tradition applied to him. even though he had been a can didate before the people at onl one general election. Mrs. Woodcock's letter to the Presi dent follows: "PORTLAND, Or.. March 4, 1907. "To Honorable Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, Washington. D. C. "Dear Sir: Representing the intelli gent voters of this great state of Ore gon, and knowing their great fealty to you and the ideas you promulgate, I desire to say to you that the great Northwest Is a unit upon your candi dacy for renomination to the Presi dency. You have made your individu ality felt as none other could have done, and you owe it to the people to accept what the people desire you to have. During the last campaign I was an Important factor In your be half, and I trust I shall be the same this year. "I shall be pleased to receive a re sponse to this communication at your leisure. "I have the honor to remain. Yours very truly, "MRS. M. L. WOODCOCK." The President's letter, to Mrs. Wood cock bears a 2-cent stamp, showing that Mr. Loeb regarded the letter as personal and not entitled to be sent under the President's frank. Wonder is naturally aroused at the size of the President s stamp bills, for it is a well known fact that .every letter that goes to the W hite House is answered. . SAVE TIMEAND MONEY.

Case. The trial of the case of the United States against the Port of Portland was continued all day yesterday in the Fed eral Court and will be resumed again to day. The morning session yesterday was taken up with the testimony of Captain Hadyn, of the tug McCracken. The prin cipal part cf his testimony was given the day previous and no important disclosures were made yesterday. The atternoon ses sion was occupied with the testimony of Michael Nolan, second officer ot the Man zanita. and that of C. F. Smith. Govern ment insoector of dredger contract work on the Columbia River, .who was on the dredger Columbia at the time of her col lision with the lighthouse tender. Mate Nolan proved a good witness for the Government, corroborating as he did the details of Captain Byrne's story, on the day previous. On the night of the collision Nolan said he went on the bridge at 6:30 o'clock. He knew the usual course of vessels near Westport. passing down river. It was at time of taking the bridge that he first saw the dredge Columbia and tender McCracken. The Manzanita was heading down for the Westport beach light, which showed two points on the starboard bow. He saw white lights on the dredge and pontoons. He sent for glasses to see where the pontoons lay. The Manzanita stopped about a quarter of a mile from, the dredge and blew two short blasts, which meant that Manzanita would pas3 to starboard. She was not answered by the McCracken. Soundings' were made at this point, and showed five fathoms of water. The helm was ordered starboard, and the tender altered her course about two points. Nolan could not say how much time elapsed before the Manzanita struck, af ter her course was changed. The Man zanita was making about three knots an hour when she struck the dredge's cutter. The mate reported to the captain that the vessel was sinking and then launched the boats. IBy order of the captain he later secured lanterns and placed them on the masts of the sunken vessel. When he boarded the dredge, the McCracken was still under way. Nolan said if the dredger had been at anchor, there would have been 100 feet clear for the Manzanita to pass. The Manzanita was headed down, while the McCracken was headed up stream. C. F. Smith, the next witness, said he was in the employ of the Government engineers, but had never taken the usual Government service oath. United States Attorney Bristol questioned Smith closely on this point, but the latter stuck to his story, although he said he received a regular salary from the Engineer Corps, which he presumed came from the Gov ernment. Mr. Bristol at this Juncture ordered the clerk of the court to summon Gerald Bagnell. of the United States Engineers, to appear as a witness. Evidently he wishes to know whether Mr. Smith is a Government official or not. Smith's exact relation to the Government will proba bly be disclosed today. Smith's testimony was to the effect that he was on the dredge when the Man zanita appeared, about a quarter of a mile away: He did not remember about her side lights. She seemed to be coming to ward the dredge on an angle. When two or three boat's lengths, away, the Man zanita swerved to starboard, but soon afterwards struck the submerged bow projection of the Columbia and sank. The Manzanita sank between two fish traps, which were about 300 feet distant inshore. The Government will probably submit VERY EASY TO BUY AND EASY TO SELL PIANOS ON THE CLUB PLAN Everybody Joining the Clubs at Eilers Piano House No Time to Hesitate Now Several Clubs Already Filled and the Balance Well Up in Numbers. The Way They Are Going Now, the Limit Will Soon Be Beached. We anticipated success when we in augurated our piano club organisation. we Knew it was too good a tning ior the people, and we knew they would quickly recognize it. But that we should meet with such a phenomenal rush is a surprise that taxes our sales people and drays to the limit. A sale we expected to last for several months now bids fair to close within the next two weeks. There were only four hun dred and eighty-nine pianos included in the club plan and one of the clubs was completed within five days after the opening announcement. The Pianos. The pianos included In the great Eilers Co-operative Piano Buying'Clubs are all good instruments. No cheaply constructed or pianos of poor quality are to be found at our store. Many of these instruments are famous the world over, such as the Chickering, Kimball. Hazelton. etc., pianos of the very highest quality. The Plan of Selling Them Is This: We give to a number of buyers formed into a club the same price we would Rive to wholesale buyers, and the Instrument is delivered immediately upon your making your choice, without any fuss or ceremony. The cash pay ments are extremely small and the in stallments, which can be made either weekly or monthly, are very moderate. Payments as little as $7.50 down and weekly installments of $1.25 secure one of these beautiful high-grade instru ments. Club "A" includes the well known brand new upright pianos in elegant walnut or mottled mahogany or pretty oak cases that cannot or dinarily be obtained for a penny less than $275 and as high as $35;), now go at $176. $146 and even down to $137. Pay SI. 25 a week or by the month if you prefer. The remainder of the two carloads of beautiful Ijester pianos in cluded in Club "B" are now on dis play. These high-grade instruments, which ordinarily retail for $450, go to Club members for $258, and the plainer cases for $11 less. The pianos are all of proven worth, all high-grade makes, the payments are ridiculously low and the terms are so easy as to be hardly worth mentioning. Come In today and investigate the system which has placed really good pianos in a great many homes during the last few days. But remember the time is very short. A chance like this to secure a. beauti ful piano for your home for such little money will not come again for many years, perhaps never, and .fust as soon as the clubs are all filled this great salo .will be closed. A great many new people join every day, so if you wish to take advantage of these tre mendously reduced prices, very quick action is necessary. Today is the time. Kilers Piano House.

Miller, MFlniBY "While Mercury and Potash nay mask the disease in the system and cover up the outward symptoms for awhile, they cannot cure Contagioua Blood Poison ; when the treatment is left off, the disease will return worsa than before. Mercury and Potash eat out the delicate lining of tha stomach and bowels, produce chronic dyspepsia, cause the teeth to decay, make spongy, tender gums, affect the bones and nerves, and often cause Mercurial Rheumatism, the most hopeless form of this disease. Thousands have taken the mineral treatment faithfully for years to find, when it -waa left off, that the disease had only been smouldering in the system, and tha old symptoms of ulcerated mouth and throat, falling hair, copper-colored spots, swollen glands, sores and ulcers, etc., would return in all thei hideousncsS, and they were no nearer a cura PURELY VEGETABLE the disease permanently, and without in jury to any part of the system. S. S. SJ does not cover up anything, but so completely removes the poison that no trace of it is ever seen again. This medicine will also remove any bad effects left by previous mineral treatment. S. S. S. is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks; we offer a reward of $1,000 for proof that it contains a particle of mineral in any form. Write for out home treatment book, and if you desire special medical advice, our physi riflnq will be clad to furnish it. as well as the book, free of charere.
