STATEMENT NO.
fiOI FOR MARION
Sentiment Has Been Gradually
Waning and Convention Will
Shut Out Candidates.
BUT ONE CONTEST IS ON
County Judge Only Office to Be
Struggled l-'or Statement Xo. 1
Candidates Xot Kxpected to
Be Indorsed by Convention.
SALEM. Or., reb. 7. (Special.) Condi
tions could scarcely be more favorable
than they are now In Marlon County for
the termination of the Statement No. 1
movement. In the first place, the State
ment No. 1 idea never had a very strong
hold upon the Republicans in this county,
as U shown by the resulte of the elec
tion two years aso. when a majority of
the members elected to the legislature
were men who had not signed the pledge
to vote for the people's choice for Sena
tor. It is asserted that, sentiment has
been gradually growing against the
Statement No. l'plan since that time.
Then, again, this will be the quietest
year in politics Marion County has seen
in 20 years. There is no contest over
nomination for any county office except
tfiat of County Judge. Apparently all
other candidates will be nominated with
no contest worth mentioning. This cir
cumstance will pave the way for the
holding of a county . convention, as
planned, with a view to shutting out
Statement No. 1 candidates for the Leg
iHlature, and nipping that feature of the
campaign in the bud.
Plane Laid for Convention.
The County Central Committee will
meet here tomorrow, and it is practically
certain that a county convention will be
called to meet before the primaries and
recommend a ticket to be voted for at
the primaries. That is the plan mapped
out by the political leaders who have the
convention movement in charge. While it
Is probable that there will be some men
in the convention favorable to Statement
No. 1. it is. generally Relieved that the
great majority will be oppose to it.
The men who go to conventions are
generally strict party men and do not be
lieve In pledges which will place a Re
publican candidate under obligations to
vote for a Democrat for Senator, should
the Democrat secure the popular Indorse
ment. Kor this reason it is taken as
practically certain that no Statement No.
1 aspirant for nomination will stand any
chance. Of course the lack of indorse
ment will not bar a. candidate from run
ning In the primaries, but he will have
a great handicap, and. in th county,
would stand small show for nomination.
Convention Xot for Statement Xo.- 1.
"I think there is no doubt -whatever
about the result of a .conven
tion," says Dr. J. N. Smith, Senator
from Marlon County, and one of the
leaders of the convention movement.
"And I think the members of the party
should support the. action of the con
vention. Kor my part, if the conven
tion should Indorse a ticket of State
ment No. 1 candidates, I would sup
port them. On the other hand. If the
convention should give its approval to
a list of candidates who will not take
Statement No. 1, T believe Republicans
who favor Statement No. 1 should and
will support them In the primaries.
My own opinion Is that no Statement
No. 1 men will be indorsed, for nearly
every Republican I talk with is op
posed to jcandidates signing- that
pledge."
Some Opjio.sitlon Develops.
There is evidence of some dissatis
faction over the plan of holding a
county convention, and some of the
Republican leaders are fearful that
the cry of "machine" and "boss rule"
will be put up, with flie result that
there will bo much knifing of the
ticket, both In the primaries and at
the poles in June. There are many
who believe that no effort should yet
be made to interfere with the regular
workings of the direct primary law
as provided for by the direct primary
law, and that any effort to revive the
convention system in any - form is
fraught with danger to party success.
But so far as public expression has
been heard thus far, those who are of
this opinion seem to be in the minor
ity. The convention will be advocat
ed upon thi! ground that it will pro
mote harmony in the party.
Bound to Be Some- Soreness.
Since there is only one contest for
nomination for a county office, there
will be little opportunity for the crea
tion of "soreness" by Indorsement in
a convention. The only sore places
Mill be those among candidates for
the legislature and it is reasoned by
the advocates of the convention plan
that there would be some sore people
anyway, and that this disagreeable
and Injurious feature will not be In
creasod by holding a convention.
Many of the candidates look upon
the convention as a means of relief
from the heavy expense of a primary
campaign. They believe that an In
dorsement by the convention will be
equal to a nomination and that they
will not have to spend so much money.
So far as definite action Is con
reined, Marion County- has taken the
lead In the movement for the holding
of a convention. Since It was an
nounced that a convention would be
held in Marlon, political leaders in
other counties have been holding
telephone communications with work
ers .here ami it is expected that simi
lar action will be taken In other parts
of the state.

Crop Outlook Good.
BL'RNS. Or.. Feb. ". (Special.) There
lias boon but one night this Winter when
the tJovernmont thermometer registered
below zero at tills point, and that was
the Inst night in January, when It
readied S degrees below. The Winter so
far has been very pleasant and favorable
for all pursuits common to this locality.
Stock of all . kinds is in fine condition
. end has required little feed. The Fall
sown grain Is in good shape, there being
light covering of snow, without suf

tlVHATi LIFE AS IX FRANCE
Slercoptican Lecture at Corvallis Is
Teaching Its Lesson.
CORVALT.1S. Or.. Fob. 7. (Social. )
"Rural Life in France." was the sub
ject of a slereoptican lecture given before
Waldo Hall Club last evening by Pro
fessor E. R. Lake, Department of
Forestry, in the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege. The views, which were made in
France by Professor Lake, emphasize the
possibilities of housewives in the cultiva
tion of vines, fruits and flowers of such
varieties, quality and luxuriance as to
make the home self sustaining.
In the views, grapes were shown that
command a price of $1 a bunch in Paris,
and apples that find a ready sale in the
same market. Homes of the peasantry
'and palaces of the wealthier classes were
exhibited, showing the healthy conditions
physically, financially and morally that
may surround homes properly environed
with cultured growth such as is possible
to the average home in Western Oregon.
This lecture is one of the series in
troduced last Fall by Hon. Clarence L.
Andrews, of Yukon, who gave a s.tereop
tican evening- with the glaciers, mines,
mountains, rivers and fauna of Alaska.
REPCBDICAXS ARE ORGANIZING
Form Clubs All Over Harney Coun
ty Registration Is Slow.
BURNS, Or., Feb. 7. (Special.) A
movement las been started for" the or
ganization of Republican clubs In all
parts of Harney County, and a meeting
to formulate the Burns Club is called for
Saturday evening. February 15. One
day's circulation of the call resulted in
over 90 signatures and there is genuine
enthusiasm, which extends all over the
county.
The registration of voters is proceed
ing slowly. At the end of four weeks
only 148 voters had registered at the
County Clerk's office, but returns had
not been received from outlying districts
where notaries and Justices are doing the
registration. Of the 148 on record, 86 are
Republicans. 56 are Democrats,, three are
Prohibitionists and t,hree refuse to de
clare themselves.
The sentiment in this county seems to
be strong for the return of Senator Ful
ton to the Senate and the primaries will
likely show a large vote for him. There
are about 600 Republicans in the county,
but it is not likely they will, all vote In
the primaries.
WORK OX NEW POWER PLANT
Current to 'Be Supplied From Mol-
lalla River Near Canby.
CANBY, Or.. Feb. 7. (Special.) Can
by's new power plant, to be situated on
the Molalla River, fome three miles from
town, and called the Molalla Power Com
pany, is assuming definite form. The
proposed organization is in the hands of
F. P. Hurst, and Mr. Hurst is meeting
with great encouragement In starting the
enterprise; it is proposed to move the
plant now located at Aurora, which Is
run by steam and supplies several towns
with light, to the new site and run it by
water power, which will reduce the ex
penses to a minimum and allow a day
current for the use of small manufac
turers and thus build up the small towns
along the railroad.- The new plant will
have plenty of capacity and supply New
Era, Canby, Macksburg, Barlow, Aurora
and Hubbard.

mew.-ESCAPE
NORTHERN PACIFIC TRAIN
LEAVES THE TRACK.
All Cars Go Down Embankment, but
Only Two Are Injured and
They but Slightly.
CHEIIALIS, Wash.; Feb. 6. The Port
land Express, No. 7, due in Portland at
4:30 this afternoon, and known as the ac
commodation train between Seattle and
Portland, was wrecked a mile and a quar
ter north of tfhehalis at noon.
It was one of the Northern Pa i Ac's
most remarkable wrecks, in. that only
two or three slight Injuries were received,
although every car left the track and. all
but one went to the bottom of the bank,
which at that point Is 10 or 12 feet high.
U. S. Pendergast, of Tacoma, sustained
a slight injury to his knee. Mrs. C. L.
Pender, who was lying on a cot in the
baggagecar, was thrown from It and
bruised. These are said to be the only
casualties worth mentioning.
The supposed cause of the derailment
is a broken axlo on the mallear. The
tearing up of the ties Indicated that this
was what 'happened.
The tender went off on the east side
of the track; the mail car, two baggage
cars, smoker , and one day coach were
ditched on the west side. The second
day coach went partly down.
The diner and observation car did not
leave the track. .
Physicians hurried by special train
from Centralis, three miles -distant, but
were not needed.
Mrs. Finder lives on Lincoln Creek,
near Centralis. . She was on her way to
Winlock In charge of Drs." Livingstone
and Moser. Trunks were piled all around
her, but she was not touched by any of
them.
The Wain was running about 10 miles an
hour.
MORE STUDEXTS AT PACIFIC
Semester Opens W ith Brighter Out

PACIFIC UNIVERSITY, 'Forest Grove,
Or., Feb. 6. (Special.) The new semester
onens with increased attendance. Presi
dent W. N. Ferrin addressed the stu
dents upon "the value of good, consistent
work." Rev. C. Clapp, a prominent Con
gregational minister oT Oregon, dwelt
upon the importance of the concentrated
efforts of students. Mr. Fulsome based
his remarks upon the valne of character
building In our college life; Pacific Uni
versity has changed from the three-term
plan to the semester plan. It is thought
this plan will accommodate students who
finish work from the high school In the
mid-year.
Each year Pacific passes rulings to aid
in raising the standard of scholarship in
the institution. .A recent ruling makes
it impossible for a student to compete in
any Intercollegiate contest whose grades
are not up to the standard.
By a recent Increase of.J25.000 in the
endowment fund, & new choir of Biblical
literature is to be added to the uni
versity.
