FOURTH INFANTRY
LEADS IF! SCORES
Southern Oregon Men Prove
Best Shots in Individual
Competition.
GOVERNOR'S MATCH TODAY
Winning of Trophy Is Chier Topic
Under Diseusslpn at Camp Huge.
Poor Ammunition Lowers Rec
cords Over Last Year's.
CAMP RUGE. Salem, Or., July 22.
(Special.) Firing in the individual
match has taken up all of today in
the state rifle competition of 1008 and
half of tomorrow forenoon will be re
quired to complete the event. The
competitors have finished all ranges
up to 800 and 1000'yards and are now
firing at these distances.
At this time it appears more than
likely that the Fourth -infantry will
get away with the individual match,
as two Southern Oregon men have a
strong: lead. Corporal Alex Ferguson,
of Roseburg, is ahead of all the 95
competing: riflemen. He has a total
of 238 points out of a possible 300.
Eight points behind him is Captain
George E. Houck, also of Boseburg,
and Just two points in the wake of
Captain Houck is Corporal Romaine of
Portland. Private Ben Shields, of
Roseburg, is in fourth place with 198.
Sergeant A. A. Schwartz, of Portland,
an old rifleman, who was looked upon
as a possible winner, fell down at
the 800-yard range today and is prac
tically out of the running.
.ew Ammunition Defective.
Victory will very likely fall either
to Captain Houck or Ferguson, as they
are good men at the long ranges and
already have the lead. Romaine. how
ever, has a fighting chance. Captain
Houck made 49 out of 50 at 800 yards
a year ago in the state competition,
so that his work on that range and
at 1000 yards will be watched with
great Interest.
Scores continue lower throughout
the competition than at last year's
shoot and the blame for this Is now
laid to the door of inferior ammuni
tion. The bullet used Is steel capped
and weighs but 150 grains. At 200
yards It hardly gets steadied down
when thrown by the high power pyro
ccllulose powder, while the powder it
self does not weigh out the same in
all shells. At Bislcy. England, at the
recent International shoot a projectile
weighing 180 grains was used and the
results were much better. The shorter
barrel of the new Springfield rifle like
wise adds to the difflculties.of accur
acy, necessitating a much steadier hold
on the target.
Interest in Governor's Match.
In the rapid Are work this morning
the first place and rapid fire medal
went to Corporal McCormick. of
Eugene, with a score of 40 out of 50.
A year ago this range was taken by
Private Ben Shields with a score of 50.
The falling away is proportionate through
out. Interest in the Governor's trophy
match, which occurs tomorrow, is now
at a high pitch and is being more gen
erally discussed in camp tonight than
even the unfinished individual match.
Fourth Infantry will be pitted against
Third Infantry in this event, and Gov
ernor Chamberlain will be on the range
during the day to witness the struggle.
He will award the trophy in person,
to the winning riflemen.
The personnel of neither team has
yet been recorded, although it is
learned that the Southern Oregon reg
iment will be represented by Major
Hamlin, Captain Houck, Lieutenant
Stewart, Corporal Ferguson, Corporal
Perdue. Corporal Fisher and Private
Shields. Eight of the men who will
represent Portland, the Willamette
Valley and Eastern Oregon are Captain R.
O. Scott, Sergeant Rider. Sergant R. L.
"White, Sergeant Schwartz. Corporal Ro
maine and Sergeant Abrams. Two men
are yet to be settled upon.
Governor Visits Camp.
The firing In this event will likely
commence Immediately after the noon
hour. There are three ranges the
three most difficult 500, 800 and 1000.
It Is planned to complete the match by
night. The following day will then be
given over to the re-entry matches and
the programme arranged by the State Ri
fle Association. Friday will mark the
.waning of the 1908 shoot, and many
of the rllemen will leave on that
day for their home stations.
Governor Chamberlain visited Camp
Ruge tonight and was a guest of Adjutant-General
Flnzer at the officers'
mess. He presented the state trophy
to the Salem team, which won first
.place in the state trophy match of
Monday and Tuesday.

FISH TRAP IS DEATH TRAP
GILXXETTEliS MAKE COMPLAINT
TO R1SELAND.
Driving of Piling Within Harbor
Line Endangers Life and
Property at Astoria.
ASTORIA, Or., July 22. (Special.)
Some weeks agro the fisheries depart
ment of the State of Washington was
granted permission by the Government
engineers to locate three fish traps in
Baker's Bay, outside the harbor line,
for the purpose of catching salmon for
the Chinook hatchery. One of these
traps has been driven about 250 feet
beyond the harbor line, and it is con
sidered so dangerous to the lives and
property of g-illnetters that its removal
has been requested in the following dis
patch sent by Secretary Rosenberg, of
the United Fishermen, to Fish Commis
sioner Riseland:
ASTORIA, Or., July 21. John T. Riae
land. State Fish. Commissioner, Belllngrham,
Wash: Driving and operation of state fish
trap on Columbia In present location will
catue loes of lives and property of drift-net
fishermen. Hatchery purposes' surely cannot
warrant such sacrifices, especially as location,
of state traps outside of harbor line will In
evitably be used by private trapmen to ex
tend their traps to lines of state traps, as
harbor line will then have to "be changed.
This, then, will cause additional lose of lives
and property. You know present harbor line
was established to prevent loss of life and
property. Hence I most emphatically protest
on behalf of humanity and property against
your fiehtrap policy and ask you to request
Governor Mead, under whose instructions1 I
suppose you act. to direct you to pull the
piling recently driven by your orders. Aided
by photographer and experts. I personally
today inspected your state trap piling and
unhesitatingly declare this trap will be, if
maintained, the worst death trap ever op
erated on the Columbia.
(Signed) ED ROSENBERG.
Secretary United Fishermen of the Pacific.
In explanation of the above dispatch,
Mr. Rosenberg said:
"Some weeks ago I received a letter
from Colonel Roessler, of the United
States Engineers, stating that the
"Washington State Fish Commission
had applied for three fish trap loca
tions in the Columbia River for hatch
ery purposes, these traps to be driven
outside the established harbor line. I
made a qualified protest, pending in
formation about the exact location of
the state traps. My talk with Deputy
Commissioner Burton and correspond
ence with Commissioner Riseland re
sulted in hut little information. My
visit yesterday to the state trap was
mainly caused by reports from fisher
men about the dangers of the trap. To
day I called up Major Mclndoe, now
United States Engineer officer for this
district, and was informed that permit
for this trap had been granted by the
United Stales Engineers office. I,
however, requested to present this case
more fully in writing, as the Major
had but recently taken charge of his
office.'
ROBBERS N EARING SHEDDS
Men Anstrerlng Description Seen
Going; South From Lebanon.
ALBANY. Or.. July 22. (Special.)
Two men answering the description of
the Austrian robbers were seen today
seven miles south of Lebanon, where
they inquired at a farmhouse the dis
tance to the main line of the Southern
Pacific. They had evidently come al
most to Lebanon and turned southward
to avoid the city. If they keep their
present course they will strike the rail
road near Shedds this evening. Trains
will be watched closely here tonight.
All search for the robbers has been
abandoned by the Sweet Home posse,
but officers have been notified to watch
for them in cities and towns along the
railroad.
After the robbers successfully es
caped from the battle at- Sweet Home
early Monday morning:, the residents
of that part of the county have taken
little interest in the matter because of
the belief that the whole affair was
merely some kind of a quarrel among:
the Austrian laborers. This left the
search in the hands of the Austrians
and there was no system whatever in
guarding the outlet from the hills, so
escape was easy. v

Mead Hesitates to Open Head
quarters in Seattle.
FEARS WARD HEELERS'GAFF
Seeks Figurehead Who Would Add
Dignity to Bureau Tom Payne
Anxious to Begin Personal
Attacks on McBride.
SEATTLE, July 22. (Special.)
Managers of Governor Mead's guber
natorial campaign are divided among
themselves as to the advisability of
opening campaign quarters in King
county.
Harry Falrchlld, chairman of the rail
road commission, and the Governor's
chief advisor, has been in Seattle for
several days endeavoring to make sat
isfactory arrangements for head
quarters and a campaign manager, but
Tom Payne, former secretary of Sena
tor Piles, has hastened off to Olympla
to advise the Governor against the
move.
Mr. Payne has been engaged quite
actively of late in writing open letters
in behalf of Governor Mead and Con
gressman' Jones. Mr. Payne's principal
objection to the opening of head
quarters in Seattle Is that the Mead
management is short of funds. Mr.
Payne says that the minute head
quarters are opened the ward healers
will flock to the place looking for
remunerative employment and when
they fall to receive it will go out and
work against Mead.
Seeking Capable Secretary.
Mr. Fairchtld's plan is to secure
some .prominent citizen of Seattle to
be head of the Mead bureau, but who
will be principally a figurehead to give
dignity to the campaign. The real
worker will be the secretary who must
be a newspaper man capable of pre
paring campaign literature.
The latter position has been offered
to A. N. Brown, formerly private sec
retary to Governor Mead, but now en
gaged in newspaper work in Seattle.
Mr. Brown has declined the place on
the ground that it is only a temporary
position for which he can not afford
to give up a permanent one.
Negotiations are now said to be
under way with E. H. Thomas, who
is also connected in an editorial capa
city with one of the Seattle daily
papers. Mr. Thomas Is an old friend
of Governor Mead and a farmer towns
man at Blaine and Bellingham. At
one time Mr. Thomas was editor of the
Bellingham Reveille and one of the
leaders in the Fairchlld-Mead faction
in Whatcom County politics. His
brother. Harry Thomas, is now deputy
State Oil Inspector, which position he
received upon the recommendation of
the Governor.
Would Make Personal Campaign.
Payne and some of the other Mead
enthusiasts are anxious to open a per
sonal campaign against Ex-Governor
McBride. The nature of the attack is
indicated by an open letter recently
written by Mr. Payne to George Dy
sart. of Centralla, the substance of
which is the story that McBride was
born in Utah of Mormon parents.
Payne's letter has been quite widely
published already with the apparent
purpose of injuring McBride. although
Mr. Payne in the letter takes pains to
discredit the story, and charges that
Dysart, four years ago. was trying to
get documents to prove the report,
while he is now supporting McBride.
The Mormon story was circulated
somewhat in the campaign four years
ago, but never found its way into
print. It was quieted during the cam
paign by the publication of an official
biography of McBride giving his birth
place as in the state of New York.
Some of the Mead men are question
ing the wisdom of circulating nny
rumors or reports reflecting person
ally upon any candidate for Governor
on the theory that "mud slinging"
generally soils the thrower more than
it does the man at whom it is aimed.
Mr. Payne, it Is understood, went to
Olympla to talk over both these sub
jects with Governor Mead in person.

Draw Up Pledges Binding Commis

Licenses if Elected.
OLYMPIA. Wash.. July 22. (Special.)
An organization known as the Thurston
County Prohibition Alliance, and also as
the "Independence League," has thrown
a fit into local candidates for office.
The organization, which is composed of
Prohibitionists and local optionits, has
presented a form of pledge to each can
didate for County Commissioner, Sheriff
and Prosecuting Attorney. The pledge
binds the candidates for Commissioner, If
elected, to refuse to issue any saloon 11
cens3s outside of incorporated cities, and
the candidates for Prosecuting Attorney
and Sheriff to enforce all laws regulating
the liquor traffic.
In addition to the pledge it Is demand
ed of each candidate that he file his res
ignation with the County Auditor to be
come effective in the event the pledge Is
not kept. The pledge is also to be filed
in the office of the County Auditor.
No candidates have yet filed pledges or
resignations of this kind and most of
them to whom the matter has been pre
sented have asked for time for considera
tion. The "alliance" was formed last May
with H. E. Gray, an architect, as presi
dent. W. F. McDowell, bookkeeper of the
Capital National Bank, vice-president.
and A. S. Caton. formerly head of the
Olympia Development Company, secre
tary. At a meeting held May 25 an ex
ecutive committee was appointed which
will call a convention to be held on the
day of the direct primaries under the pro
visions of the law providing for the nomi
nation by convention method of candi
dates of parties that did not cast 10 per
cent or the vote In the last preceding elec
tion.
The convention will nominate a ticket
but It Is yet undecided whether candidates
for every office will be named or only for
those where the Incumbents have among
their duties the enforcement of the liquor
laws or the regulation of the liquor traf
fic. Candidates of other parties who sub
scribe to the pledge submitted and file
resignations in escrow will probably be
indorsed. -

GROWERS TO DRY CHERRIES
New Plan of Solving Problem or Sav
ing Big Valley Crop.
SALEM. Or., July 22. (Special.) The
anxiety of growers regarding the future
of the cherry and loganberry industry
in this valley, caused by' the dull market
for these products this year, has been
allayed to some extent by the favor with
which the drying process is being received
and the extent to 'which it is being prac
ticed. Several large growers In Marion and
Polk counties are drying large quantities
of loganberries and experiments are be
ing made in several places in drying
cherries. A representative of McClure,
Kilton & Company was up from Portland
today for a conference with local fruit
men. He states that there Is a good mar
ket for dried cherries, and there is a
belief here that the drying plan may
solve the market problem.

nouncement of this fact was made today
by Brownsville men in touch with the
promoters of the road. Stakes will ba

refused. He went to Abraham's store
and cashed the paper. Later, it tran
spired that the check, drawn to James
Cummings, was stolen from Rinck's store.
Deputy Downs picked the pair up at
the depot this afternoon. Just as they
were taking the train to Portland. When
searched, the lads had JB5 in currency and
J10 in gold, besides a dollar's worth of
pennies, three skeleton keys, several new
handkerchiefs and a book containing
nearly one hundred names of young wo
men in the Northwest, many of whom
had their address at Springfield, Lane
County. The prisoners had two new pair
of high top lace boots, which Rinck claims
were taken from the store.
Abraham came down from Forest Grove
and identified the man who cashed the
check. Claude Smith, of Forest Grove,
working for a furniture store, also iden
tified the party who cashed the check.
Fred Rice handled the financial end. his
companion remaining outside. For some
time the young men worked at a wood
camp near Buxton.
