-BITTER 'GAMPAIGN
GOMES TO CLOSE
Monster Meeting Last Night
by Miller and Moore
Factions.
INTEREST AT HIGH PITCH
.Seattle's Mayoralty Contest Such a
Close Fight That Little Money Is
Wagered on Result Vote To
day Will Be Very Heavy.
SEATTI.K, Wash.. March 2. (Spe
cial.) With the close of speechmak
lng in a dozen or more different places
here tonight, 'the' city campaign ends.
,and to one of the bitterest contests in
the history of the city finis has been
written. .Starting out as a "sentle
manly" contest, the campaign at its
close has developed Into mud slinging
In which both leading contestants of
the highest offices in the city and their
managers have Indulged without stint.
That the tight will be close and has
assumed a serious aspect may be count
ed from the fact that Governor Mead
was injected into the local fight. Gov
ernor Mead was the principal speaker
at a rally held Tuesday night, when
there was a great gathering of state
wide prominent llepuhlicans. Aside
from the mayoralty contest, scarcely
any other office Is mentioned.
Monster Meetings Last Night.
Foth leading candidates for Mayor, John
H. Miller. Republican, ancii William Hick
man Moore, who is the standard-bearer
for the City Party, closed tonight s cam
paign with monster meetlnss. The Mil
or meeting at the new Moore Theater,
which seats .WO persons, was 'the largest
attended puhltc meeting ever witnessed
In Seattle. Only the limit of the confines
at the Mavor Moore closing rally pre
vented that meeting also being among
the list of record-breakers. .The Demo-
' crats held meetings, but these were not
largely attended. It is considered doubt
ful ifGeneral J.' B. Metcalf, Democratic
I candidate for Mayor, will poll the full
i strength of his -party.; so bitter has be
come the fight between the Republican
and City party. It Is believed that many
Iiemoor'ais will ally themselves on one
! side or the other.
Within the last week or ten days the
'! ifsue between the City party atid Re-
i - ,, .. wunmyftra hnji been cen-
! tfred on the police administration of the
' city. Chief 'Wappenstein has been the
bene of contention, all other Issues being
. sidetracked, aside from the removal of
the restricted district.
Clancys Back lTp Moore.
One of the features of the campaign has
been the work of the Clancy saloon
' element in the First Ward. At the out
set of the campaign. Miller practically
resd the Clancys out of the party and
declined to permit them to serve, on the
working committee for the, election. The
Clancys have allied themselves with
) Mayor Mporo and their influence is felt
sirorusly In the First Ward.
Close observers of the fight -which has
been waged are unwilling to hazard a
guess as to the-final outcome. It is ad
mitted the count will be close. There
is but little betting aside from that in
the poolrooms and few odds are offered
on the result.

Provision Regarding Lieu Land
Selections Not Understood -by
Members.'
OF NO BENEFIT TO STATE
Board Believes It Should Have Been
Consulted in the MatterPros- "
ress of Bill Will Be Watched
With Great Interest. '
SALEM. Or., March 2. (Special.) Mem
bers of the State Land Board are unable
to understand the language of a bill re
cently Introduced by Senator Fulton au
thorizing states to select land in lieu of
lands included within forest reserves.
The Board was not consulted! on the sub
ject and the first intimation the mem
bers had that any such step was to be
taken was the announcement in news
dispatches that the bill had been Intro
duced. As this was a matter of great
importance to the state the Board im
mediately telegraphed' to Senator Fulton
for a copy of the bill. It arrived today
and is as follows:
Main Point Not Lucid.
That in lieu of sections 16 and 36
of the public domain, which have been
grantee! to states or. territories for edu
cational purposes, and which may be
included .within forest reserves, when
ever the public lands available for lieu
selections shall not represent a cash
value equal to the minimum price at
which lands so granted shall be sold
according to the provisions of the law
authorizing the grant, then and there
upon the several states and territories
shall be authorlied to make lieu selec
tions from forest reserves of such
lands as may be agreed upon by the
Department of Forestry and the state
or territory to which the land grants
may have been made; provided, how
ever, that no state or territory shall
select lands not located within its own
domain.
The portion of this bill which members
of the State Land Board are entirely un
able to undterstand is that clause reading
"whenever the public lands available
for lieu selections shall not represent a
cash value equal to the minimum price
at which lands so granted shall be sold
according to the provisions of the .law
authorizing the grant."
Oregon Has No Minimum Price.
So far as members of the Board know
there is no minimum price fixed by the
law authorizing the grant of school lands.
But if there were a minimum price fixed
at M.25 or C50 per acre, as in the case
of railroad grant lands, this bill would
be of no use to the state, for the state
is now getting S.75 an acre for lieu lands
selected upon forest reserve base. Since

INDIANS PROVE HE SIGHT
WASHINGTON STARES IN OPEN
MOUTHED WONDER.
One Virginia Youth Concludes That
Fort Hall Brave9 With Senator
Borah Are Foreigners.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. March 2. "I'll bet dem Injuns
raises merry hell befo' dey gits out o'
town." This remark fell on the ear of
Senator Borah, of Idaho, the other day
as he was parading down Pennsylvania
avenue with three braves from the Fort
Hall reservation. Turning about, he saw
three old-time negroes, huddled together
on the curb, gazing with intense Interest
at the red men. They stared not in ad
miration, but in awe, an awe much akin
to fear. Each one displayed a vast ex
panse of white in his eyes; those three
pairs of eyes literally stuck clear out of
their sockets.
The negro does not show fear in the
same way as the white main; the negro's
hair cannot stand on end. But his eyes
have a way of expanding that is still a
mystery to the best of oculists. Each
one of that little group was scared
through and through, for the Eastern and
Southern negro has not yet learned that
the denatured reservation Indian of the
present day is very different from his
death-dealing ancestor who in times past
rode the Western plains. -
Nor were the negroes the only natives
interested in Senator Borah's little band.
The Senator had been absorbed . In ' the
conversation of the IndianB. carried on
through their Interpreter, and had failed
to notice the interest that centered in
his party. .But on the rest of his walk
to the .Capitol he was made painfully
aware of the fact that a real live Indian
Is a rare curiosity in the National capi
tal and attracts as much attention among
the white population as among the dusky
citizens of African parentage.
The fact is that in these days very few
Indians come to Washington. - In years
past it was a more or less common thing
for delegations of red men to come down
for a pow-wow with the Great Father
but the present administration has dis
couraged these pilgrimages, and instead
has sent its representatives to confer with
the Indians on their reservations. This
saves the Indians money and enables the
Government to get an unbiased view of
the various Indian troubles. When Gro
ver Cleveland was in the White House,
many Indians found their way here; some
came In blankets, some bedeekea in
feathers and other paraphernalia of the
past decade and still others wore the
civilized dress of the white man. The
few who have been here. in recent years
have laid aside tlfe blanket and feathers

their stoic countenances, copper color and
broad-brimmed "cowboy" hats, as Wash
ington styles them. ..
This was the garb of the Fort Hall
Indians, but the absence of characteris
tic Indian dress did not lessen public
curiosity. When he got to his committee
room Senator Borah, in relating his ex
perience, said he thought everybody had
seen an Indian, but -he --was forced to
change his mind; he was satisfied after
his walk that 90 per cent of the people
of Washington had never gazed on one
of the "original American citizens."
Which remark recalls a comment made
on this same group of Fort Hall Indians
as they were walking through the Capitol
building one day. A callow youth from
the wilds of Virginia (and the wilds of
Virginia can make the wild West look
tame) passed the red men and, turning
to his companion, called attention to the
dark-ekinned visitors, "I guess them's

That the efforts of the Pacific Coast

is the opinion of some of the hopdealeri

William Hickman Moore, Cltr
Parry Nominee tor Mayor ot
Seattle.
In Salem, and they find support for
this view In a recent article in the
Kentish Observer, the leading authority
on hops in England. The Observer
quotes at length a recent letter oy m.
H. Durst, in whish Mr. Durst asserts
that the Pacific Coast can raise hops
so much cheaper than the English
grower can that eventually this countiy
will supply tne Brmsn maraet.
The Durst letter is published in full
by the Observer for. the purpose of
letting the English growers know
what is going on across the Atlantic
As showing, the demand among grow
ers in England that their industry be
given protection against the American
hops, the Observer publishes an ac
count of proceedings of the Hereford
shire and Worcertorshire Hopgrowers'
Association at Worcester. The report of
the meeting-follows:
"View Situation With Alarm.
T. Lawson Walker (Worcestershire),
moved a resolution calling the atten
tion of the government to the serious
fiositlon of the hop industry, and point
ng out that during the past 15 years
22.000 acres of hop-growing land had
rnne out of cultivation, the reduction
for the past season being estimated at
6000 acres, causing loss oi empioymfin.
to 5000 permanent hands and 260,000
pickers, the cause being foreign com
rtotirtnti The resolution was carried
unanimously. J. M. Parry moved: "That
this meeting views witn aiarm tne ai
tomrtt marie in America to form a com
blnation with the express object of
capturing the British market by send
ing surplus produce en to the British
market at the beginning of each sea
son, and thereby glutting it when the
English crrowth is just coming for
ward." Mr. Parry said the Americans
claimed that their proposals would en
able them to send to tne fjngnsn mar
ket, In five years, more than double
their present expert to that market.
It was a ridiculous policy for English
irrnui'tu tn crn on reduciner their acre
age. The only remedy was an import
duty upon foreign hops. It was true
that the present government was not a
tariff-reform government, but they had
promised to make a general inquiry
th fnriustrv. nn in fairness hOD-
growers must give them a chance.
Brewers must see that if the present
state uf things continued they would
eventually be absolutely dependent
upon the foreigner for hops, and then
tne price would rise. The recent by
electioiis. including the wonderful vic
tory of the tariff reformers at
Worcester, led them to hope that be
fore long they would be able to present
their case to a government in sympathy
therewith. Other speakers followed in
the same strain, only one hopgrower,
W. Mitchell, opposing the motion. He
argued that hopgrowers were a small
minority of agriculturists, generally
sneaking, and that an import duty upon
hop3 would be a selfish policy. The
industry only encouraged migratory
labor. The resolution was carried with
one dissentient, and another one thank
ing the Chancellor of the Exchequer for
his promise to appoint a select com
mittee to inquire into the hop Industry,
and expressing a h6pe that it would be
appointed forthwith, and report as
early as possible, was carried unani
mously. Government Inquiry Promised.
The Observer says further:
In the House of Commons on Thurs
day night Laurence Hardy (Ashford
Division) moved as an amendment, to
add to the address: "But we humbly
represent to Your Majesty that the
critical condition of the hop industry,
which involves so great a diminution
in rural employment, requires urgent
and remedial consideration from your
majesty's government.' The hop in
dustry, he said, gave a larger amount
of employment than any other agricul
tural InduFtrv, and the class that was
most rerlousiy affected by its present
condition was the class of laborers. The
cultivation of the crop was gradually
decreasing.
Mr. Courthope (Rye Division) sefc
onded. Mr. Asquith . (Chancellor of the Ex
chequer! said the amendment had the
full sympathy of the government. He
did not conceive It possible that an
effective remedy would be afforded by
the Imposition of a protective -duty, but
at the same time he felt that the mat
ter was one which was ripe for further
investigation. He would suggest, there
fore, that the amendment should be
withdrawn, in which case the govern
ment would consent to the appointment
at the earliest possible moment of a
select committee to Inquire into the
present condition of the Industry and
to see if a remedy could be found for
the evils of which complaint had been
made. (Cheers.)
The amendment Was withdrawn.

New York Federation Acta Brewers
Oppose D-lsreputable Saloons.
NEW YORK, March 2. Opposing New
York state's most recent proposed par
ticipation in th movement against the
liquor traffic, the Central Federated
Union- yesterday adopted resolutions
against the local option bills now before
the Legislature, declaring the bills, in the
event of their passage to be the forerun

olution asserts that local option or prohi
bition laws would throw hundreds of
thousands of people out of work includ

butchery, blacksmiths and workers In
about 20 other callings. It was decided to
send copies of the resolutions to every
labor organisation. through the state and
to Governor Hughes and the Board of
Alderme'n. It was also decided to appoint
a committee of three to attend the hear
ings of all such bills and oppose them.
Another phase of the liauor question
was dealt with In an announcement last
night by the New York State Lager Beer
Brewers' Association that the brewers of
this state have inaugurated, a campaign
