7 SALEM EXPECTS A LIVELY TIME passengers rushed on deck, half clad, and were disgusted to learn that a rat. hav ing crawled into the cylinder, had caused the halt. Such an accident on a man-of-war in time of action might be fearfully paid for, and an active cat is its only preventive.

To Indorse or Not to Indorse Legislative Candidates Is Stumbling Block'. FEW FOR STATEMENT NO. 1 Marlon Political Leaders Believe It Bad Politic to Arouse IH-Fecllng and May Abandon the Plan ol the Central Committee. 6ALBM. Or.; March 13. (Special.) A lively contest ia expected In the Repub llran county convention tomorrow over the- question whether a Iejrislative ticket shall be Indorsed. A few days aco the plan of Indorsing; a ticket of candidates opposed to Statement No. 1 had been abandoned, but today It was revived and an effort will be made to carry It out. The effort will be opposed, not only by Statement No. 1 men, but also by some who are opposed to Statement No. 1. The question presented will not be upon Statement No. 1, but upon the Indorse ment of candidates under any conditions. It is conceded by all that the opponents of Statement No. 1 will be in full control of the convention. In fact. It is asserted by men active In politics, that out of the is delegates less than ten are advocates of Statement No. 1. Concessions to Country Precincts. The county central committee ordered the convention held for the purpose of Indorsing five legislative candidates who are unalterably opposed to Statement No. 1. The convention will have the power to carry out the Instruction if It desires, but there are many who believe It would be poor policy to do so. Because of this feeling;, the plan waa abandoned, but It has bafin taken up again on account of the announcement that there will be five Statement No. 1 candidates in the pri maries in April. So far as can be learned, there Is no "programme" for the convention. As it baa been repotted that the country peo ple are dissatisfied with the convention Idea, it Is proposed that a delegate from the country be made chairman. It is also the Intention of the city delegates to concede three of the Ave candidates to the country precincts, one to come from Sllverton, one from Jefferson and one from the farming region near Salem. The other two will be from the city. P. A. Turner, of Salem; L. T. Reynolds, of hemawa, and J. H. Settlemier. of Wood burn, are the only men whose names have been mentioned as candidates. Effect on June Election. The convention will meet at the city hall at 10 A. M. and after effecting a tem porary organization, -will probably ad journ until afternoon. There is a great Interest In the meeting, not so much on account of what the convention may do, but because of the effect Its action may have upon the primary election in April or til general election in June. Predic tions have been frequent that the holding of a convention for indorsing candidates . will prove a political mistake.

FENDI-STON. Or.. March 13. (Special.) Information was Hied in the Circuit Court today charging Abb Ogg with sell ing liquor on Sunday. He is the saloon .proprietor who was recently fined 5100 for permitting gambling In his place of business. It is probable that his license will now be revoked.

It Is not generally known that the Vnlted States Government spends several thousands of dollars annually for the maintenance of cats, but the accounts of the United States depot commissaries prove It. In every storehouse there are from one to five of the animals., and their rations are provided as carefully and as regularly as those of any of the Soldiers. They are not fed on scraps, nor are their Individual tastes disregarded, as are those of the enlisted men. but they are allotted so many pounds of "choice beef or any other delicacy their palate may desire. Of course, they may have as much game as they wish, and the store houses seldom fall to furnish an unlim ited supply of rats and mice- That the cats save many times their cost of sup port la well known, aa such supplies ma crackers, cheese, bacon, flour nd meal are much sought after by the rodents. All men-of-war carry cats. Their use fulness Is never more apparent than on shtpboard.

The Editor's Tribulations in Running a Country Weekly. Toronto SaturdaJ Night. The following narration of an erstwhile country editor is worth considering at the present time, when the issue of local option is being fought out in so many sections of the province. He had lived in Toronto for a number of years and had taken a great deal more Interest In the affairs of the public than the public took in him. He conceived the idea of going out to the country where he might become a real influence. He saw visions of himself moulding thbught In his sec tion. In Imagination he saw Invitations to take the stump coming from candi dates in all parts of Canada. He saw himself slipping down to Ottawa to sug gest to the administration the proper course to pursue In regard to certain public questions. Such were the things PAI-OrSE T.AD WHO 18 WITH AD MIRAL EVANS AT MAGUA IJ5NA BAY.

Ralph Harrold Averill, son cf C. K. Averill. of this city, is with Admiral Evans" flt at Mag. dalena Bay. The young man en listed three years ago, and before entering the navy waa with the West ern Union Telepraph Comjany at Spokane, and was also for some, time with the Oregon Railway & Navigation Company as telegraph operator at Burk, Idaho. The young man was an expert operator and was paid while In the employ of the rail road company higher wages for his services than any operator in the company's employ on the entire sys tem. He has had chances to enter the wireless service for the Government, but Is afraid he will be stationed on shore If ho engaged in that work. Being doslrous of seeing foreign lands and to have a "scrap" with Japan if conditions are favorable, he has remained on board ehip. ( Young Averill has the friendship of State Railway Commissioner Law rence. Senator Plies and President Roosevelt. lie has papers in his possession from President Roosevelt which he prizes very highly. The young man grew to manhood In the Palause country. this city man was going to make the de sirable vocation of country editor yield to him. The paper he purchased he bought cheap, and the vendor explained to him the reason why. A few years or so previously there had been a local option fight in his district, and since he de rived more revenue from the opponents than the advocates of the measure, he supported the views of the former. The temperance people won their fight and proceeded to take vengeance on the pa per in such a practical manner that he was obliged to sell out. His ambitious customer had some reputation as a tern perance man and was of the opinion any way that so able a man as he could have no difficulty in pulling the property out of the hole. He made the paper brighter and snappier than the good people had been - accustomed to. He was tactful enough to 'Jolly' everybody more or less, and became quite popular. All seemed to be going well until the fatal old question of local option came to the fore again. It was decided that another vote should be taken. A deputa tion of prominent temperance men, in cluding the pastors of two or three cvan? gelical churches, waited on the editor and asked him which side he was going to take. He replied that while he was a temperance man, his chief advertiser was the A-l Mineral Springs Company, Limited, which paid him the sum of 0 per month. The company m question was in reality the local hotel proprietor. He would therefore have to be judicious. but he mould do the best he could In the cause of righteousness. The deputation went away with storn eyes and .puckered noses that boded ill for the editor. Next day the hotel proprietor dropped in and aked the worried thought-moulder what stand he was going to take. The editor told of the interview of the day before and said he guessed he would have to remain neutral and discuss the Question on academic grounds. The hotel proprietor went away mentioning the place of future punishment quietly ana intensely as h went out. The weeks be fore the election were troublous ones for the editor, who kept on writing editorials to the effect thart there were many sides to the question. In the end both camps took reprisals when their contracts expired, and the erstwhile thought-moulder Is back in To ronto, convinced that the lot of the rural editor is not a happy one.

(Special.) -''Friday, the 13th" proved a Jonah day for the athletes who represented the Multnomah Athletic Club, of Portland, against the Seattle Athletic Club boxers and wrestlers at the smoker held last night at the S. A. C. gym. Three out of the four inter-club events were won by Seattle men, Smith, of Portland, betas the only visitor to finish in front. Wrestler Venable defeated Edgar Frank in the main wrestling bout- Speck outclassed Dranga in the wlndup boxing event and Kelly defeated West after a fast mixup. The smoker was attended by nearly 1000 persons and was the best held in Seattle this year. Speck, of the Seattle Athletic Club, sent the big crowd into fits of delight by the way in which he used his Dempsey left and punished Dranga, of Multno mah. Dranga is a game, rugged young ster with a hard rap in either mitt, but he was unable to connect. Speck fol lowed the instructions of Lonnle Austin to the letter and waa invariably the first to connect In the clashes. Venable Tumbles Frank. at any stage and at the conclusion of the three rounds was hardly ruffled. Dranga, on the other hand, had pumped into a multitude of straight lefts that caused his head to rock. He was greatly weakened and lacked accuracy when the bout ended. Venable proved that he is easily the best wrestler of his weight In the North- Tl.. aA raknt ncralnst thA former champion without any training except what he had Deen aDie it swuiw self. There was no professional tutor to w v. i ,la vtftnrv ia all his tuui dim, .- - own. The bout was closely contested and pleased tne crow a. Venable won the first fall In 4 minutes and 30 seconds. He took the second drop in 12 minutes and 10 seconds, coin weic flying falls, but Venable could have turned the second one Into a pin iau nua the bout continued. Kelly Too Fast for West. Kellv slmnlv outboxed West, pt Port land. Kelly was too fast and led from the first. West kept well covered ana seemed content to ' wait and try for a knockout In a single punch. He uncorKea several vicious ones, but Kelly was too fast and the Portlander was unable to connect. Had West followed his usual tactics and bored in from the gong, he might have been able to trim the local lad, but at the long-range Doxing game the visitor had no chance to register. Kincaid lost to Smith after three bouts. The local lad was defeated in the first encounter, but annexed the second fall. In the deciding turn his shoulders were pinned to the mat after' 11 minutes of hard work. Ktncald and Smith wrestled for 20 minutes without going to the mat, but as both were trying hard, the crowd was pleased. Tonight's smoker marked the close of the season in the Northwest, so far as interclub tournaments are concerned. COUIiOX DEFEATS M'GOVERX "Young Terry" Outclassed Alto gether by Clever Opponent. LOS ANGELES, March 13. Johnny Coulon, of Chicago, cleanly outclassed "Young Terry" McGovern, of Los An geles, In their ten-round contest before the Pacific Ahletic Club in this city to night. Coulon, by his clever defense and his hardiness, kept his opponent continually on the defense and scored three knock downs, once putting McGovern halfway through the ropes. Coulon showed strength and gameness never before in troduced by a 105-pound fighter in this city. Several times McGovern was within a few seconds of the knockout, but was saved by the gong. The crowd was en thusiastic in approval of Coulon's clever defense. He followed McGovern unceas ingly and managed to duck or step away from his opponent's swing and upper cuts. .

"An' whar will we find anything hap pier than to call to mind, for one blissful moment I hope I've got it right, but it's been so long sence I quoted anything warm from the poets that I alnt right certain an' shore whar will we git any bigger gob of happiness than can be found in that restless bunch of sweetness, Albert Beverldge?" asked Billy Sanders. "His very name Is as satlsfyin' to me as a cold bottle of beer right out'n a pro hibition locker, an' when I dwell on Albert In my thoughts, I feel like I had swallowed a pound of candy which is a sufficient plenty for me any time. The last I heern of Albert, he was deep in a dispute wT Bryan about the genteel an' providential natur' of the trusts. This dispute began Brimmer before last, an' I reckon it'a a-gwine "on yit. The last I seen on it, Bryan was talkin' about one thing an' Albert about another, but the dispute was Jest as hot. Bryan kin scoop up language like a steam shovel scoops up dirt, an' the' only advantage that Albert has got ia that he kin scoop it uo like two steam shovels. "Whether writln" or speakin', all Albert has to do Is to turn on the phonograph, an' you'll hear a speech or read a piece long enough to stretch across the bosim of the ragin' Pacific: an' he'll keep It up ontell the police remind him that people that aint natchel orators have got lor to eat an' sleep. Albert is both young an' smart; I reckon he must 'a' went through ont of our public school systems whar they keep grammars an' dictionaries, an they're still fresh In his mind. He knows a heap of things that the most on us have done gone an' clean forgot; but I never shall forjit his article that run through seven issues of the Congressional Record. Its entitlement was, 'A Brief View of the Earth When She Was Nine teen Years of Age.' It was chockfull of good advice to young men, telling them that it aint wuth while to do nothln' bad ontell they git old enough for to vote an' go to Congress. That article Is one of the few things I've ever cried over; In fact, I cried ontell the cook axed me ef I was tryin' for to take a bath in a rockin' cheer wl' all my cloze on. "Now, it looks like to me that a man as full of fluency as Albert ought to be mighty close to the Presidency. We ought, to give our baby boy a man's chance, an' the only way T know how to do it is to git the'r respected an' respect able names before the Republican conJ vention when the delegates aint too obe to slobbr." , Sawdust ia turned Into transportable fuei by the simple device of being heated under; hlffh-pressure steam until the resinous in gredients become sticky, when it is pressed Into bricks.

EASTERN OUTFITTING COMPANY The Store Where Your Credit Is'Good COR. WASHINGTON AND TENTH STS. Scalp Specialists Use and Recommend EWBRO'S HERPICIDE "I am sending you my photograph to show what Newbro's Herpicide has tlone for me. 'tSince I first tried Herpicide upon my hair I have used it exclusively in giving scalp treatments to others, and I would not think of trving to get along without it." (Signed) MRS. ANNA CONNER. 2807 Archer Ave., Chicago, 111. Hundreds of lady scalp specialists and hair dressers use and recommend Newbro's Herpicide, instead of products of their own manufacture upon which a much larger profit could be made. They claim that Herpicide makes friends for them and gives much better satisfaction. Some hair dressers use Herpicide for obstinate cases only, but why not use the best first T Herpicide is a delightful dressing that can be used when there is no disease of the hair or scalp, and as an actual remedy for dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair it stands in a class singularly its own. Many ladies object to a gummy and sticky hair dressing, or one that is full of sedimentary chemicals intended to dye the hair. The marked preference for a clean and dainty preparation, particularly one that overcomes excessive oiliness and leaves the-hair light and fluffy, is reflected in the enormous sale of Newbro's Herpicide. Discriminating ladies become enthusiastic over its refreshing quality and exquisite fragrance. It stops itching of the scalp almost instantly. Two sizes, 50c and $1.00, at Drugstores.
