Present Sheriff May Win.
OREGON CITY. Or.. May 31. (Special.)
What might otherwise have been a com
paratively quiet election in Clackamas
County Is disturbed this year by the in
terjection of features that have roused
almost every thinking man into facing
the future and to watch, with curious in
terest, the trend of public sentiment
along the lines of moral advancement.
The candidacy of the party nominees for
state and county offices is greatly over
shadowed by the proposition to place
Clackamas County In the dry column.
Notwithstanding the fact that the vote
four years ago was overwhelmingly wet,
the Prohibitionists have gone into the
campaign with a vigorous determination
to win, and their speakers have not
spared their voices, but have shouted
for prohibition in every cross-roads town,
and have unquestionably made hundreds
of votes for their cause. The outcome
of the campaign is rather doubtful, but
close observers will not be surprised if
the Prohibition votes of the country dis
tricts succeed in overcoming the strength
of the liquor people in Oregon City.
Bells on Election Day.
Tomorrow the local option people will
display a uniciue feature of election day
by ringing the bells of four Ot tile city
churches at 8 A. M. and at noon. W.
P. Elmore, President of the Bank of
Brownsville, closed the local option cam
paign in Shively's Opera House tonight
and last night F. J. MeHenry, who has
been stumping the county, and J. M.
Glass held an open air meeting at the
east end of the suspension bridge.
In Estacada, where there are several
saloons, it is stated that a careful poll
showed the sentiment to be dry by a
majority of about 25. It is probable that
precinct ito. 3 in Oregon City wv". go
dry, and a hard f-sht will be maJe to
swing precinct No. 2 into line, though
there are six saloons in the precinct.
Viola and Garfield arc the only dry
precincts in Clackamas County, though
the municipal government of Canby has
declined to grant licenses to saloons. Be
sides the general proposition of Clack-
nmna f'nnntw Q a w-hnlf. nn nttnmnt will
be made to abolish the saloons of Mil
waukie, by combining that town with the
precincts of Oak Grove, Harmony and
Clackamas, there being no saloons in the
three last precincts.
Cake and Chamberlain Close.
The fight between Cake and Chamber
lain in Clackamas will be close. The
Statement No. 1 vote will go largely for
Cake, who may receive a large share
of the Fulton strength, but just what
the Republicans who did not go tj the
polls on the day of primary election will
do, is an open question. Cnambarlain
carried Clackamas against Withycombe
two years ago by about 300, and he still
has many warm admirers and enthusi
astic workers there.
On the county ticket the Republicans
have an excellent chance to elect a.i
of their nominees, though the Demo
crats and disgruntled Republicans are
working strenuously to defeat the Re
publican candidates for sheriff and as
sessor. It Is reasonably certain, however,
that Moody will win lor assessor, as he
has made a strong campaign, and the
chances of Greaves, Republican nominee
for sheriff,, are good. The effort to de
feat County School Superintendent Gary
with an independent candidate will no
doubt fall short, as Mr. Gary has made
an exceptional record during his incum
bency to the office.
Fight on County High School.
The fight against him is due to the
division of the Park Place school dis
trict, but the rural districts are strong
for Mr. Gary. His opponent, J. W. Gray,
declined to take a efmee at the prim
aries for the nomination, preferring to
make an independent run. He recently
returned from a six years- stay in Alaska.
The proposition to establish a county
high school has been fqught bitterly in
some quarters and its prospects for suc
cess are not rosy. Clackamas is ex
pected to favor the University of Ore
gon appropriatalon, though the vote may
be close. Three Republican Statement
No. 1 Representatives will be elected
from this county, and C. N. McArthur.
Republican candidate for joint Repre
sentative from Multnomah and Clack
amas, is expected to defeat the Demo
cratic candidate. A. King Wilson. The
Republican nominees for Commissioner,
Clerk. Recorder, Treasurer, Coroner and
Surveyor will probably be elected by
large majorities.
LINN EXPECTS LARGE VOTE
Campaign Closes With Republican
nauy ai -viimiiy.
ALBANY, Or., May 31. (Special.) The
political campaign in Linn County was
closed last night with an enthusiastic
Republican rally in the opera house.
Speeches were made by L. M. Curl, chair
man of the Republican County Central
Committee; J. N. Duncan, nominee for
County Judge; D. B. McKnlght, candi
date for re-election as Assessor; B. E.
Upmeyer and Frank H. Porter, nominees
for Representatives: Grant Forman, run
ning for re-election as County Recorder,
and T. J. Butler and O. H. Russell, nom
inees for County Commissioner.
If weather conditions are satisfactory,
there will probably be a big vote cast in
Linn County tomorrow. There are a
number of hard fights for county offices
and this should bring out a big vote. The
question of prohibition is also a live issue
here. People are taking considerable in
terest in the pt'nding initiative measures,
particularly the single tax amendment
and the Roddy bill, and the referendum
measures on the University of Oregon
appropriation and the armory bill.
GRAIN CROP IN NEZ PERCE
Yield of 5,000,000 JJusliels Awaits
Arrival of the Railroad.
LEWISTON, Idaho. May 31. (Spe
cial.) General Freight Agent R. B.
Miller and General Agent C. W. Mount,
of the O. R. & N., have just returned
from a team trip through the Nez Verce
and Camas Prairies. interviewing
grainmen and investigating crop con
ditions with a viow to obtaining pp
idea of the freight tonnage that their
road may expect as soon as the new
Joint Northern Pacific and O. R. & N.
road from Lewlston to Grangevllle U
opened for traffic.
Mr. Miller reports that the region is
a richer one than the far-famed Pa
louse country.
"The soil is richer it is a richer
country," said he, "than the Palouse
country. It will be a more thickly
populated agricultural country than
the Palouse country. I consider it an
ideal dairying country. The soil is too
rich and the advantages too great- for
big farms to be maintained there. It
will became a very, very thickly-populated
agricultural country."
For a number of years, the Nez Perco
prairies have been turning oft crops
of wheat which ran 40 to 60 bushels
to the acre, but the farmers have been
greatly handicapped by lack of trans
portation facilities. The iron horse of
the Northern Pacific has at last reached
the prairie, and in anticipation of the
fact that the railroad would be able to
handle the 1 90S grain crop, it is esti
mated that the country this Fall will
yield 5.000.000 bushels.
Grangeville. a town of over 3000 peo
ple, at the end of the new liner is soon
to lose the distinction it has long held
of being the largest city in the United
States without a railroad.

Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, one of the

highly respected and lovable old

with her parents and was mar

held until it develops whether or not Wil
son will pull through.
The sympathy of the community seems
to favor the Chinaman as against the
hoodlums, who have tormented the Celes
tial for months past to such an extent
that he found it necessary to barricade
hia windows and doors against this ele
ment whenever it took an overload of
liquor. His house has been stoned and
the windows and doors have been broken
down. Quong Lee has hitherto been a
peaceful citizen, always attending strictly
to his business.
Last night's affray occurred at about
11:30, when Wilson, who had been drink
ing in company with a young man named
Devlin, attempted to torment the China
man by throwing beer bottles against his
door, it is said, which broke the lock and
tore out a panel. The Oriental says sev
eral attempts had been made to gain en
trance, when he fired through the broken
door, the bullet taking effect in Wilson's
windpipe and lodging in the back.
Wilson is a son of the late H. B. Wil
son, who died about three years ago.
One boy of this family, about five years
ago, was drowned. Boys have been ar
rested before on charges of annoying this
Chinaman.
EXTEND NORTH BANK ROAD
Reported Hill Will Acquire Interest
in Hanford Project.
NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., May 31.
(Special.) In order to increase the
capital stock of the Hanford Irrigation
Company, a meeting of the stockhold
ers has been called in Seattle for June
25, when a proposal to increase the
capitalization from 4251.000 to $750,000
will be voted upon. The cost of the
construction of the big power canal
and tile installation of pumping and
other machinery has exceeded the orig
inal estimates by a large amount, and
it is proposed also to extend the scope
of the project.
It is reported that the Hill Interests
will acquire a large, if not a controll
ing interest, in the company. Sam Hill
has Just concluded an inspection of the
plant and the land under the project,
and it is said that following the acqui
sition by the Hills of an interest in the
scheme, the North Bank Railroad will
be extended from Pasco up the Colum
bia to a point of intersection with t!T5
Great Northern Railroad, thus tapping
the Hanford tract and other territory
on the way, and at the junction with
the Great Northern, giving to all heavy
freight destined for tidewater in the
territory covered by the Northern sys
tem an easy grade via the Columbia
River route.
The water has been turned into the
power ditch of the Hanford company,
and the machinery has been given a
trial and successful run, but the date
for the commencement of work In
earnest has not yet been fixed. Mean
while, the territory under the project
is settling up rapidly.

REPLIES TO CHARGE
A. W. Lafferty Files Answer
With Land Department.
STANDING SAID TO BE HIGH
He Denies Allegation That He Used
Information Obtained While in
Government Service for His
Own Advantage.
Considerable interest promises to grow
out of the charges recently filed in the
Land Department against A. W. Lafferty,
'a Portland lawyer. Mr. Iafferty has
just returned from Lakeview, having been
absent when the charges were published.
In 1905, at the conclusion of Mr. Laf
ferty's term as Prosecuting Attorney of
Montgomery County, Missouri, he was
appointed a special agent of the General
Land Office and sent to Oregon to aid
in the land trials. He soon resigned that
position to enter the law practice here.
He states that during the past year his
relations with certain special agents sta
tioned in Oregon have been very strained,
culminating in their presentation of
charges against him some time ago.
Charges Used in Campaign.
Special prominence has been given to
the charges by supporters of Governor
Chamberlain on account of matters which
Mr. Lafferty brought to light last week
in Lakeview in the A. D. Daniels scrlp
ping case, and which were taken up by
the Republican state central committee
and used against Chamberlain for cam
paign purposes.
Summarized, the charges are under
stood to be that Mr. Lafferty used knowl
edge he acquired as special agent of the
Interior Department in 1905. in defense
of land cases in which he has been re
tained as attorney since leaving the Gov
ernment service and entering the practice
of law in Oregon. The charges have
been prepared by special agents of the
department L. R. Glavis, chief of the
field division for Oregon, and H. T. Jones,
both of whom have disliked Mr. Lafferty
for some time, and between whom and
Mr. Lafferty there have occurred several
acrimonious discussions over claims of
Slletz homesteaders, whom Mr. Lafferty
was defending.
LafTerty today will file his reply to the
special agents in the local Land Office.
The reply will contain testimonials as to
his character and standing, signed by
members of the bench and bar in Port
land and by Judges before whom Lafferty
practiced in Missouri. He says that he
has not acted as attorney in a single
case that he reported on while special
agent.
Makes Fight for Settlers.
"I have never been able to agree with
the policies of certain special agents in
Oregon," said Mr. Lafferty yesterday.
"On arriving in Oregon my investigations
soon convinced me that the government
was not being robbed by the individual
citizens of this state. The people here
are just as honest as those of any other
state. Ninety-nine out of every hundred
homestead and timber applicants act in
good faith and are entitled to their
claims. Not one hundredth part of the
lands fraudulently acquired in Oregon
have been obtained through homestead
or timber entries. Over 90 per cent of
the lands fraudulently obtained in this
state were acquired by scrip applications
through priorities illegally secured, or
through the state land board. And those
profiting thereby have gone unwhipt of
justice, and have been permitted to re
tain the lands so obtained.
"I have taken up the fight for numer
ous homestead settlers and necessarily
have come in conflict with the local
special agents who represent the govern
ment in proceedings against the entries.
I have been quite successful and certain
special agents profess to believe that I
have an undue advantage by reason of
having once been a special agent myselt.
But there is no ground whatever for this
charge. Whatever success I am meeting
with is due to my experience of 11 years
as a practicing lawyer and not to any
knowledge I obtained while a special
agent. During the past year I have ap
peared In the local land offices of this
state for a large number of homesteaders
and individual applicants against con
testants and scrippers. Many cases for
poor people I have fought at my own
expense. I shall keep up the fight."
Has Filed Answer.
Mr. Lafferty has filed a denial of the
charges pending against him. together
with a practically unanimous written
indorsement of the bench and bar of
Portland certifying that he is a re
putable lawyer of high standing. The
judges before whom Mr. Lafferty prac
ticed in Missouri are also championing
his cause. He practiced eight years
there and attained high standing for
one of his age. being less than 30
when he came West. He was several
times Republican nominee for Prose
cuting Attorney, each time running far
ahead of the strength of his party. In
the third race he was elected. During
nis term of office he secured the first
convictions against what are known
as bucket-shop gambling institutions
ever had in the state, and he put more
money in the state treasury in fines
than was paid him In salary. Before
his election as Prosecuting Attorney he
had a large civil and criminal practice.
He was also non-resident lecturer on
criminal law at the Missouri State Uni
versity. Commissioner Ballinger stated in an
interview when Mr. Lafferty's name
was, first mentioned In connection with'
irregular practices, that his standing
before the department was first-class.
Later Commissioner Dennett sent a
synopsis of certain charges to the
Portland Land Office to be answered
by Mr. Lafferty. A subsequent letter
from Commissioner Dennett states
that the charges will be dropped on
satisfactory answer being made. Mr.
Lafferty asserts that he does not be
lieve the officials at Washington took
any stock ir. the charges, but says that
when they were filed in Washington it
became the duty of the Commissioner
to forward them to the local office here
for answer.
Mr. Lafferty has gained many sup
porters in Oregon by the assistance he
voluntarily rendered the Government
in connection with its investigation of
the Oregon & California Railroad land
grants. When in Washington a year
ago, Mr. Lafferty made an oral argu
ment before the Attorney-General, ad
vocating the institution of suit against
the railroad company to enforce com
pliance with the terms of the grants,
which provide that the lands shall be
sold to actual settlers. At the request
of the Attorney-General, Mr. Lafferty
prepared and filed wi'h the department
an exhaustive printed brief on the
subject. Though offered pay for this
work, Mr. Lafferty declined to accept
it, calling the attention of the depart
ment to the fact that he had cases
pending before the Interior Depart
ment, which would make it unlawful
for him to accept pay from the Gov
ernment in any case. .

D. Barrett. .
RESOLUTIONS ARE ADOPTED
They Declare That Atacks on Barrett
Are Unjust Charges Brought
Against State Society by
G. C. Ix-e.
The members of the First Spiritual So
ciety of Portland at their services yester
day morning, held In the Ablngton build
ing, adopted a resolution denying the
charges of Sophia B. Seip, president of
the Oregon State Spiritualists' Association,
that Harrison D. Barrett, a Spiritualist lec
turer, was not the pastor of the local or
ganization. Mr. Barrett, according to the
resolution, has been the regularly in
stalled pastor of the society for some
time.
The resolution passed unanimously and
was again brought up at last night's
meeting of the society, where it went
through with the same favor as charac
terized its adoption In the morning. Mr.
Barrett was for 14 years president of the
National Spiritualists' Association of
America. He came to Portland soon after
ending his career as National President
last October, and according to the of
ficers of the local society, has been their
pastor since his arrival in the city. He
was called here indefinitely, and incor
porated In yesterday's resolution was a
statement to the effect that It was the
desire of the organization that he con
tinue in the capacity of pastor as long as
he was able.
Mr. Barrett Is said to be very popular
in the society and the members are quite
indignant over the assertions of Mrs.
9?ip.
Directly following the -adoption of the
resolution Rev. G. C. Love, National
Spiritualists Association Missionary, an
nounced to the officers of the local so
ciety that he had drawn up charges
against the state association and peti
tioned National President Geo. B. Warne
at Chicago to order the organization sus
pended until action could be taken by the
National Society.
' In his charges Rev. G. C. Love de
clares that Mrs. Seip, without protest
from the state association, worked in the
Interest of a certain medium who has
been operating In this city for several
weeks. Although Mr. Love mentions no
name here It is said by members of
the society that John Slater, the note
reading medium, is the person referred
to. Rev. Mr. Love declares that Mrs.
Seip has been working up a campaign
for this medium at the expense of the
First Spiritual Society.

MULTNOMAH CLUB WILL MEET

Snappy Game by Good Players Is
Promised and There Is Much
Interest in Contest.
Portland fans will have an opportunity
of witnessing two contests of the classiest
amateur baseball this afternoon, for the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club team
and the University of Oregon nine are
to cross bats at the Vaughn-street
grounds in a double-header for one ad
mission. Two games are to be played on ac
count of the Improvements to Multnomah
Field having precluded the' previous con
test scheduled between these two crack
amateur teams. As it is election day a
large number of baseball enthusiasts will
enjoy a half holiday, during which they
will avail themselves of the opportunity
of witnessing two such clever teams as
the Multnomah and Oregon nines In
action.
Multnomah has an exceptionally strong
team this season, and the collegians' un
defeated record speaks, for their ability.
With the club team this afternoon will be
such stars as Chester Murphy, Plowden
Stott. Jack Holman, Kenneth Fenton,
Hulskamp. Sinnott, DeNefTe, Stirling.
Cass Campbell. McClelland, Edd Morris
and Murray. All of these players have
earned their reputation on either uni
versity or club teams, and are rated as
high-class amateur players, several of
whom have frequently turned down offers
to play with professional clubs.
Kenny Fenton and Jack Holman are
fresh from Stanford University, where
both were prominent members of the
crack team which represented that in
stitution on the diamond. Fenton was
captain of the nine and played shortstop.
Today he will probably play third base,
as Captain McClelland, of the club team,
is the regular shortstop. Holman is a
speedy baserunner. a good batter and
plays the outfield as well as a Tom
Raftery or a George Hildebrand. An
other splendid player who will wear a
Multnomah uniform tody is Huiskamp,
who played for years for Yale and re
fused repeated offers to enter the big
league. He Is a fine hitter and this one
feature was what attracted the major
league magnates to him. He refused to
turn professional and oh removing to
Portland last Fall joined the Multnomah
club.

for Multnomah, ' was the winning twirler

ished. It would be well for the fishing interests of
the country if the stationary trap in all of its vari
ous forms was everywhere eliminated, for this is the
most destructive and undiseriminating kind of fish
ing. On the Columbia, where the river isnarrov
and. swift, the fishwheel is not only very destructive,
but has the additional evil effect of (a) taking
work from the fishermen, and (b) of taking the fish
when the7 are not in the best condition, for fish for
canning ought to be taken in tidewater.
(2) It' would be well if all fishing on a large scale
above tidewater in the Columbia should be pro
hibited. (3) I would also recommend that a careful study of gillnet and
similar methods of fishing be made, with a view to the ultimate inter
est of the fishing industry, as even if worse forms of fishing were
eliminated, there are still perhaps too many gillnets for the size of
the river.
To prohibit gillnet fishing after dark would virtually destroy the
effectiveness of that industry at all times when the "water is clear.
