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

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 . Niblln then installed the following
officers for the coming two years:

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.

Prraldenl for Third Term,

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

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

MATE CORROBORATES MASTER
Second Officer Nathan of Mamanita
Gives Testimony In Damage. 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

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

action is necessary. Today is the time.

the position of harbormaster of the Port
of Portland will be held in the City Hall.
Vp to date eight applications have been

A number of the applicants will be un

names of those who are successful in the
examinations will be presented to the
executive board and the appointment will
be announced Immediately after.
It Ls the intention of the city to make
the position of harbormaster all that
the name Implies. For some time past
the office has been a byword and a joke
among shipping men and sailors. The
demand of the port and the prestige
which Portland has attained among the
cities of the maritime world require a
man for the position who is qualified to
deal with sea-faring men as well as ship

"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.
