THEORIES DIVERGE WIDELY Candidate's Purpose Variously Esl mated to Be Unfavorable to Jones, Ankeny and Even Senator Piles. Obi JlrlA, vmsri.. J.

" ,.i;,it n"r the situation, how ever, that different reasoners can figure out opposite results. The theory that Ankeny win d " " sumption, not undisputed, that Pierce County is strongly for Jones. Judge Snell is markedly popular in his own county and is expected to poll a heavy vote there. The idea that Snell will attract votes from Ankeny rests on the claim that many voters have gone over 10 nis mra . w .i thA fart that the .. ner wcnunr i- 1 . . " old John L. Wilson faction Is supporting Jones so sironguy. n ua .. that there are many who would have pre ferred Jones who have grudgingly- gone . . i woo litnM to Ankeny mcauso wn "j only opponent. Scheme to Hurt Piles. It has also been figured out here that some Influential Seattle men wno satised with Senator Piles- attitude in the interests of Ankeny have urged Snell to come out. with the secret idea of In juring Piles. This theory presages the expectation on me pari m uwi Snell will be elected. Two years hence there would then be a Western Washing ton man In the Senate and another from the same section seeking similar honors. One trouble with this theory that has been pointed out is that while Piles might lose some, votes In Eastern Washington If Snell were his colleague, Snell In the . Senate would eliminate lonsressmnu Cushman as a possible opponent of J'iles . . wAnA rnahmnii ts known tO be looking longingly at Piles- Job, and. It na oeen cnargea, naa eiuerw miu alliance with Jones by the terms of which Cushman supports Jones this year In re turn for Jones- aid in the next election of a United States Senator. Cushman is the moet formidable candidate Piles could have under the direct primary system . of permitting the people to express a preference on the United States Senator ship. Snell's election, it is argued, would therefore help as much as It would injurs Piles. What Snell Says. Judge Snell's own statement of his case Is to the effect that many people are dis satisfied over the factional fight that has develoDed between Jones and Ankeny and also with the Identification so closely of the two men with opposing Seattle In terests. Judge Snell claims he will let the others continue to fight and will carry on his own campaign under a pledge to represent the whole state. If elected, and not any particular faction or section. Judge Snell is recognised generally as a man who would not knowingly permit himself to become a stalking-horse for any other candidate, and It is admitted by even those who have been speculating on the character of the influence back of him that if Judge Snell's advisers are, ac tuated by Interest in one of the other candidates, they have kept that Interest to themselves. Xew Candidate Is Wealthy. Judge Snell is well equipped financially to make the best campaign possible dur ing the short period that remains before the primary election. He Is rated as one of Tacoma's wealthy men. owning consid erable department store and other high class business realty, as well as valuable residence properties. He has been popu lar as a Judge of the Superior Court In Pierce County and had decided to retire from the bench at the end of his term without seeking re-election. Judge Snell, earlier In the year, was considered a strong possibility in the Gubernatorial race. He was urged to be come a candidate for that nomination and It is said only declined because of strong objections on the part of his immediate family, who wished him to lead a mora retired life. His entry Into the contest has seriously complicated the Senatorial situation, as he has the means, the temperament, the campaigning abilities and the strong home following needed by a candidate for such an office. PIPELINE FULL OF HOLES WORKMEN REPAIR NUMEROUS HOLES XEAU GRESHAM.. Theory of Electrolysis Disputed by Foreman, Who Thinks Pecu liar Soil Is Cause. - GRESHAM. Or.. Aug. 9. (Special.) Numerous leaks have been showing them selves again in the Bull Run pipeline for a distance of about three or four njlles in each direction from here. Foreman Frank Escobar with three other men have been "busy for two weeks past trying to find the holes and making repairs. , The leaks are mot serious. Just small boles that let the water out, which In a few days comes to the surface and form pools which Indicate that the big pipe is leaking again. These leaks are supposed to be due to electrolysis caused by escaping electricity from the street railways, but Foreman Escobar has a. different theory. He says that the leaks are manifest only In cer tain localities where the soil is of a dif ferent character from that of others through which the pipe is laid. Just outside of Gresham, near its east ern boundary Is a section that has given the most trouble. It Is in almost con stant need of repairs and no sooner Is one leak repaired than another shows itself. If the cause is electricity then it only works in certain kinds of soil. Last year a large number of holea in the pipe were plugged up with soft Iron rivets and a copper band placed around the pipe with wires leading away into the ground to conduct the electric fluid, but they seem to have done no good because new leaks have been found within ten feet of the old ones.

"We do not anticipate any serious trouble from the strike that has been inaugurated In the mechanical depart ment of our railway system," said Mr. Mclnnes yesterday. "It is not at all likely that the trouble will extend to the operating department, where our employes are all satisfied and have nothing In common with the alleged grievances of the striking mechanics. An early settlement of the strike is expected, in view of the abundance of unemployed workmen that are avail able to replace the strikers. If It be comes necessary. "An Immense crop of grain is being harvested in Alberta, Manitoba and other territory tributary to our road. It is conservatively estimated that the yield of wheat alone will reach 120,- 000.000 bushels. There Is a proportion ately large yield of barley -and oats: The outlook for an unusually active season In our traffic department Is ex ceedingly bright. "It has been six years since I vis ited Portland, and I am amazed to note its growth In that period. Both the business and residence -districts have grown surprisingly. In riding through your city today I observed several modern and substantial business blocks that had been erected since my last visit, and ground Is being prepared for building several others. However. I m particularly Impressed with . the large number of costly and attractlye residences that have been built and which add materially to the beauty of an already delightful city."

KIXXEY DROWXS IX COLUMBIA RIVER Homer Grout Makes Futile Effort to Save His Friend and Is Himself Exhausted, While attempting to swim from the mainland to Shaw's Island. Just below the North Bank Railway bridge yesterday afternoon. Charles L. Kinney, aged 23 years, of 592 Prescott street, was drowned in the Columbia River. His . companion. Homer Grout," of 690 Prescott street, was just able to reach land In an exhausted condition. The young men, who were of the same age. and chums, visited the Columbia beach yesterday to swim. After they had been In the water a short time, it was proposed to swim to Shaw's Island, and they finally decided to try it. Both were 'strong swimmers and started on their long aquatic feat without providing for a rowboat to follow them. As the swimmers reached a point about 100 yards from the island. Kinney called to Grout, who was leading, to hurry and get a boat, as he was weakening under the strain. Grout was nearly exhausted himself, but redoubled his efforts to reach the shore and gained the land so weak that he could scarcely stand. Grout saw his companion feebly at tempting to keep above the water and only a short distance from shore, where upon he tried valnry, in his weakened condition, to shove a plank to the drown ing man. Kinney sank for the last time before the support could reach him. -Coroner Norden was summoned and within ten minutes after the drowning the body of the unfortunate young man was recovered.

Proof of the Superiority of Meat over all other Foods Many people try to delude themselves into believing that there is more nutrition and wholesomeness in a meat less diet. That this is a FALSE THEORY is proven by the way these people will work, plan and scheme to find something that will TAKE THE PLACE OF. MEAT. PURE MEAT HAS NO SUBSTITUTES. It is easily digested and is all nutrition. Notice persons that have lived for years on a meatless diet and you will see that they are, as a rule, colorless, lacking in nerve strength, and have very little real endur ance. The only danger is in buying impure meats, and this can easily be avoided by always insisting on having meat that is stamped: U. S. INSPECTED and PASSED 138 UNION MEAT CO.

BULLETIN NO. 10. in The Tungsten Electric Incandescent Lamp This new electric lamp was invented and first used in Ger many and Austria. It is now being made in the United States and has recently been placed on the market. It marks a revo lution in Electric Lighting and brings the cost BELOW THE COST OF GAS. The lamp is similar in appearance to the ordinary incan descent lamp, except that the light is whiter and more intense and the bulb is frosted on the tip. It furnishes the same amount of light as the old lamp at about ONE-THIRD the cost for cur rent. The first cost of the lamp itself is higher, but this is more than made up in the saving in current in the first few weeks of operation. The following table shows the relative cost of operating a 200-candle-power Tungsten lamp and a 200-candIe-power gas are lamp burning from three to 18 hours per day each day of the month: - TABLE NO. 1. 200 0.

These lamps can be had from dealers, who will furnish fix tures, shades and wiring and install them so that a niavimum of light at a minimum of cost will be obtained. J
