certain special low passenger fare the
road will be permitted to tear no more
mileage than will equal the amount of
this low fare Irrespective of the actual
distance. Just about the time the Hill

ASPIRANTS FOR OFFICE MAK
ING THEMSELVES MOWS.
George W. Colvlg Is Candidate for
State Senator From Josephine
County Democrats Scarce.
GRANTS PASS Or., Jan. 30. (Spe
cial.) Across the far-flung horizon, Jose
phine County's political funnels may be
seen under a full head of steam, with
open batteries for the coming primaries.
There Is a new plum ripening, created
by the last Legislature, in the way of
an office for a Senator. Taking ad
vantage) of the situation, George W. Col
vlg is the first candidate to cast his
anchor-sheet, having tiled his petition last
week. Likewise O. S. Goodnow Is another
aspirant In the race.
For Representative, Dr. J. C. Smith
has been spoken of. Dr. Smith is serv
ing a second term as executive officer of
the city, and he Is well known throughout
the county. , -
For . Prosecuting . Attorney, Gus New
berry, of Jacksonville, perhaps Ib the
tallest timber in the field. It is thought
that B. F. Mulkey, late president of the
Ashland Normal, will be a close com
petitor.
The County Clerk's office Is looked
upon as a desirable place to fill. Fred
Cheshire, the incumbent, is out to suc
ceed himself, and following in his wake
is Elmer Dunbar, who ran for Represen
tative last election. Cheshire has served
four years as County Clerk.
The Sheriff's office will furnish several
candidates, Joseph Russell, elected two
years ago, will be up for another term.
Pitted against him will be W. H. Fallin.
Fallin Is a Republican, and has served
four years as Deputy Sheriff under J. C.
Hiatt and has filled the Assessor's office
for six. years. It is presumed that J. T.
Taylor will be out to fill the office of
County Treasurer. Colonel Johnson, City
Treasurer, may also file a petition to
come before the primary.
Lincoln Savage, who has been School
Superintendent for about six years, will
probably be a candidate again. It is not
likely there will be any opposition for
this office.
Eclus Pollock, who has been Assessor
for one term, desires to succeed W. H.
Fallin in bis office. His running mate
will be Dorrance Dotson. who has been an
efficient deputy under Fallin. No County
Judge Is to be elected this year.
J. T. Logan, the outgoing County Com
missioner, will succeed himself as a can
didate. What other candidates may come out
for the different offices remains to be
seen. A peculiar feature of the present
situation Is the lack of Democratic can-

VICTORIA, B. C, Jan. 30. (Special.)
Oudoo Singh was carried to a burning
ghat yesterday. Following a black-ven
eered hearse, a little band of Sikhs
lurched toward Rsquimalt. At the foot
of Fraser street, in a cutting among the
pines, cordwood had been piled, and they
were taking the body of a dead Sikh to
the pyre which was to convert him to
ashes. One bearded Junjaubi, a grizzled
Old man with torn military uniform, car
ried a large tin of kerosene, another oar-
eels of butter; all staggered through the
mud unevenly, slowly, sadly making their
way in disordered procession. It was not
a long cortege; but 17 turbaned men who
were carrying out the last rites that the
priests of those far-away gilded temples
or Lahore had taught them in the heated
tana overseas.
The undertaker assisted them to carry
the wicker basket that held Oudoo
Singh's corps Into the clump of bushes
near the streetend. close where It joined
me sea. i Mere, nidden by the under
growth from prying eyes, the Sikhs laid
out the body on a blanket.- One hurried
to a nearby house for water he had car
ried a bucket from the city for this pur
poseand with soap and water thev
washed the dead thoroughly. Then . the
aeaa man was coated with butter,
swathed with grease and wrapped in
white linen, which completely covered
the brown body.
Chant In Weird Strains.
Meanwhile men v ith vari-colored tur
bans had piled up i. ghat. The cordwood
was laid in lengths and built up and
across, a pyre three feet high. To this
the body was brought, five or six men
carrying the limp white bundle. They
laid it reverently upon the wood, piled
more sticks upon It, and then a blanket
was spread on the grass nearby.
An old Sikh kicked loose his West
ern boots, and, with bare feet crossed,
Bank down at the top of the blanket.
Others squatted about, all with brown
hands clasped. The old man read,
chanting solemnly , from the book of
the Eastern gods. For some minutes
he read; all bowed'their heads mourn
fully. The chanting ended, and with a
chorus the mourners rose, clapped
their hands, posed for a moment or
two silently, and then the quiet sud

ners. . Rake Tip Ashes of the Dead.
Slowly the wisps of smoke arose,
then a tongue of flame. A big pat of
butter had been laid on the chest. It
melted and ran as the flames grew big
ger, redder. A bigger puff of curling
smoke rose among the pines of the
closing toward the leaden sky. the
midget flies that had been Jioverlng
about scattered, and licking up among
the cordwood hungrily the big flames'
began to roar. The smoke became
dense, obscuring the Punjaubis who
stood ready to stoke the fire- the
flames grew larger, bigger, and In a
very short . time the white-robed
corpse that had been laid on the ghat
was a charred thing, partly seen In
the flames which enshrouded It.
Slowly the thing disappeared, the pyre
sank lower, and, as twilight came, a
band of turbaned men raked among
the charred embers, gathering up a
few ashes of the dead.
Oudoo Singh Is the second Sikh to be
burned in the closing at the foot of
Fraser street within the past few
weeks, the charred stone on a little
ridge within a few feet of where his
body was cremated showing where an
other East Indian, far from the home
of his fathers, had been laid on the
burning ghat.

DECIDES BALLOT'S TITLE
COCRT'S RCHSG FAVORABLE
TO UNIVERSITY.
Objectlonal Wording Prepared by
Attorney-General Altered by Or
der of Judge Galloway.
SALEM, Or., Jan. 30. (Special.)
Circuit Judge William Galloway today
decided the 'question of the ballot title
for the University of Oregon appro
priation bill by ordering that the title
of the act be adopted as a ballot title.
Attorney-General Crawford had pre
pared a ballot title which described the
bill as one to Increase the annual ap
propriation fron $47,500 to $125,000.
Friends of the bill protested and
asked that the title be changed to
read "fixing" the annual appropria
tion for the university at $25,000, mak
ing no mention of former' appropria
tions. The question was argued before
Judge Galloway, Who held that neither
title Is fair. That prepared by the Attorney-General
he found objectionable
because it mentions $47,500 as the for
mer appropriation, whereas the Insti
tution had been getting about $80,000.
That proposed by friends of the bill
was objectionable because It contained
the word "fixing," whereas the amount
is not "fixed," but any Legislature can
change it. The title of the act, which
Judge Galloway has ordered used, de
scribes the measure as one to amend
section 2529 of Bellinger & Cottoa's an
notated laws by Increasing the annual
appropriation for the support and
maintenance of the University of Ore
gon. Judge Galloway's decision 1b satis
factory to both sides of the controver
sy. Walter Winslow, who brought the
proceeding on behalf of the university,
and M. E. Pogue, attorney for the
Grangers who filed the referendum pe
titions, say that the title adopted
meets 'their approval. The decision is
regarded as a victory for the uni
versity.

POLITICAL- GOSSIP IS RIFE
Ex-Senator E. M. Croisan Named for
Reform School Superintendent.
SALEM, Or., Jan. 30. (Special.) Dis
cussion in political circles In the last few
days has connected the name of ex-Senator
E. M. Croisan with the election of
a new Superintendent o the State In
form School. Mr. Croisan served four
years as head of the Institution and tms
lent color to the report that he would be
placed in charge of the school again.

,not and will not be a candidate for, the
position, and that his other business
would preclude his accepting even if the
1lace were offered him. The opinion has
been general that ex-Superintendent H.
E. Bickers, of Pendleton, will get the
place and the announcement that Croisan
is not in the race tends to strengthen the
belief.

SEATTLE. Wash., Jan. 30. (Special.)
Whether or not Mrs. Ella Baumgartner
Is possessed of separate property worth
$500 is the question which is worrying the
lawyers for E. B. Evans, i who was
knocked down by Mrs. Baumgartner's
automobile in this city last September. A
Jury in the Superior Court today gave a
verdict in Evans- favor for J300. He sued
for $15,000.
Mrs. Baumfrartner lives in Portland and
her husband. P. P. Baumgartner. is
wealthy. He was made a party to the
suit, but yesterday Judge Gilliam ruled
that he was in no way responsible and
that the Judgment does not fall, even up
on community property, but solely on the
personal property of Mrs. Baumgartner.
Thus it is that Eivans and his lawyers
are wearing their eyes out trying: to find
Mrs. Baumgartner's name in Bradstreets.
A new trial will be asked and the case
will be appealed if necessary.
