Senator Refuses to Make Joint
Debate With Yakima
Congressman.
SPENDS DAY AT ABERDEEN
Declares Election of Senators Is l"p
to People and It Is for Them to
Pick Best Man Goes to
Mocllps for Outing.
ABERDEEN. Wash.. Aug. 13. (Special.)
Senator Ankeny. who went to Vocilps
today for an outing with his family
aid: . . .
"No I will not accept Mr. Jones chal
lenge 'to a Joint debate, either with my
S'lf or with a supporter I might name.
There's nothing to be gained by such a
debate. It Is not the Issue. The matter
is up to the people and it Is for them to
pick the best man. If they want me. they
will vote for me. if not. why I presume
they wlil vote for some one else."
. Senator Ankeny's refusal to meet Jones
in Joint debate refers to an open letter
issued recently by the Yakima Congress
man In which the latter says to Ankeny:
Would Discuss Work In Congress.
I deir to .rate to you tht I hall be
pleased to disruJi- our re.pertlve efforts In
Copgresn nh snyor.e you may se.ect. at
any time or pla.e You are at p-rf-rt lib
erty to arrnnfte with any of your Demo
cratic surpcrters. or any of your Republican
friends, or anyone el.e that believes you
thould be re-ele-ied. lo ensage In Mi-n a
d.iruwlnn with me. as my only desire is
that the people may be fully Informed
through a complete, full and open discus
sion as to our respective records and merits,
and our views as to the future worK to be
accomplished for our state.
Senator Ankeny spent last night in the
city, arriving here on yesterday's after
noon train.
Senator Can't Dodge Politicians.
The Senator said that his coming to
Aberdeen had been kept quiet and for
that reason he did not expect to engage
in much political discussion while here.
A number of politicians were able to find
him at his rooms at the Crescent Hotel
last night, however.
The Senator praised the Harbor
weather, saying that he found it delight
ful after the rather heated days he had
experienced In other sections of the state.
HOOD RIVER COLLEGE CLUB
University Graduates Will Meet Sat
urday to Organize.
HOOD RIVER. Or.. Aug. 13. (Spe
cial.) A meeting will be held Satur
day. August 15. in the rooms of the
Commercial Club, to organize a univer
sity club, and several college men in
the valley who have taken the matter
up expect that the new organization
will start with a large membership.
E. H. Shepard. editor of Better Fruit,
who has taken an active interest In
the formation of the club, said today:
"A few of us who are In pretty close
touch with affairs In Hood River Val
ley have realized for some time that
we had a great many college men in
our midet. but none of us were aware
of the great number until we made a
lift. Already we have the names of
68 college graduates who are residents
of the valley, and the list is not com
plete. "University clubs do not. as a rule,
exist except in cities of large popula
tion, but everybody knows that Hood
River is the biggest little place on the
map, and the few college men who
have talked the matter over are very
enthusiastic in regard to organizing
the club."
WICKERSHAM IS WINNER
Alaeka Congressional Delegate Will
Have 1000 Plurality.
SEATTLE, Aug. 13. Special cable to
the Times from Juneau says: Belated
results from outlying voting precincts
confirm the first reports that James
Wlckersham, of Fairbanks, has been
elected to represent Alaska in Congress.
It is now only a question of his plurality,
which will probably be in the neighbor
hood of 1000. This will not be definitely
established for another week owing to
the remoteness of many of the camps and
the slowness of communication.
Returns received since yesterday indi
cate that Joseph Chllberg. of Nome, labor
union candidate, is running a good second.
John W. Corson, of Nome, regular Re
publican nominee, will probably be a bad
third when the canvass is completed.
It is estimated that something like 12.000
votes were cast. The results stands in
the precincts heard from as follows:
Wtckersham, 37; Chllberg, 2&2T; Corson,
1SS6; Roman, 735; Clum. 24.
TRIUMPH IN NAVIGATION
Big Tank Steamer Runs 16 Days
by Dead Reckoning.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 13. For 16 of
the 19 days It occupied in the passage
from Moji, the Standard Oil Company's
steamship Ashtabula, which arrived to
day, was navigated through a fog so
dense that for all that time It was Im
possible to take an observation. Making
a trans-Pacific voyage by dead reckon
ing and emerging from the mists in the
vicinity of the lightship is practical
mathematics of a high order and a prob
lem that the Ashtabula's officers worked
out to a ship's length.
On the last two days of the voyage
heavy weather was encountered and
Wednesday night the steering gear was
carried away. A new lengtn of chain
was Dut in and after a delay of about
three hours, the big tanker proceeded
The Ashtabula brought no cargo.
FOOD ON EXPORT BASIS
Reflections on Country Boys' Migra
tlons to City Life.
WOODSTOCK. Or.. Aug. 13. (To the
Editor.) An editorial in yesterday's
Oreeonian anent the ballses Which mil
ltate against the farmers. of our. counr
try is doubtless correct in its views,
but I question whether the reasons
given are responsible for the migration
of country boys to the city.
T have had some experience both in
city and country life and think that
the whole subject may be summed up
In a few words unequal remuneration
between country and city employment.
When President Roosevelt a few
months ago assembled around him In
conference the various Governors of
our states and some of our other lead
in wise men. I read a statement
made bv James J. Hill, of the Great
Northern, to the effect that we had a
total of 3rt.000.000 of farm population.
Mr. Hill, of course, included in his es
timate a verv large percental of peo
ple, probably one-third of the whole,
who are not. strlctiy .speaking, farm
ers people who produce farm products
but consume them on the spot and
really add little to the Nation's wealth.
I may. therefore, safely assume that all
the vast aggregation of agricultural
wealth, which last year, according to
Secretary Wilsons report. w ul
value of seven billions of United States
coin. Is produced by from 20.000.000 to
25.000.000 of men. women and children
engaged In agricultural pursuits.
This great amount of produce Is
vastlv in excess of what the Nation
can consume, hence, the surplus must
seek a foreign market. As the latter
WAS PIONEER MERCHANT OF
CASTLE HOCK.
The Late Ira C. Conner.
Ir.i C. Conger, who died in
Castle Rock. Wash., August 7.
191S. was born in Tennessee,
August 1". 1S27, and therefore
lacked only ten days of being 81
years eld. He moved from Ten
nessee to Arkansas in 1R45, where
he later married Miss Melissa
O'Neil. and in 1852 crossed the
plains to Oregon, settling In
Yamhill County, where he resid
ed until IStiS. when he came to
Cow'ltz County and settled on a
f.trm on the west side of trie
Cowlitz River from Castle Rock.
In iSS5 he purchased the only
store that existed where Castle
Rock now stands, and continued
in the same business until his
death.
Mr. Conger was widely known
over the Northwest as a man of
strict Integrity and sterling
worth, and he will be greatly
missed, especially in this com
munity, where he had lived so
long and been so well and favor
ably known. He leaves one son.
Keisey Conger, of this city, and
two daughters. Mrs. Henderson,
of Portland, and Mrs. Curry, of
Redlands. Cal., besides numerous
grandchildren.
is ruled riy ine inexoraoje mw ui uu- r
py and demand, it follows that all our
nirrieultural nroducts compete with the
products of all exporting nations oi
foodstuffs. The peasant oi inaia, tne
mujik of Russia, the peon of Argen
tina, are on the same looting as our
American farmers.
Now. for the crux of the situation.
As 25.000.000 people In the Unltea
States are obliged to sell their products
on an export basis It naturally follows
that 60.000.000 who are non-producers
of agricultural products obtain tneir
food on the same basis. But the 60.
000.000 city dwellers are all bene
ficiaries of our high protective tariff
more or less. This obnoxious system
has brought about a scale of wages
that is totally out of proportion to
what the rural population can pay,
hence it follows that there Is an exodus
from the farm to the city.
Farming has now become largely a
family industry. It is hard work at
best. In order to make it a success
under present conditions It requires
knowledge, ability and money. Too
often the last mentioned item Is lack
ing. Hence we find often, very often,
that the boys as they grow up. desert
the family at 14 or 16 years of age.
The father redoubles his efforts to
keeD even and the mother often breaks
down prematurely and not Infrequently
has to be sent to an asylum. I am 'not.
writing this communication for any
political purpose, yet I cannot refrain
from mentioning that me leaaers oi
both parties have said very little about
the farmer. The fact is. the farmer
has no protection. The only way un
der present conditions in which he can
be benefited would be to nave an ac
counting with the parties who are sap
ping, the life-blood out of the Nation.

Reached by 9:15 Last Strag-

BY ELEANOR M. GARDNER.
CHIPMUNK CAMP, Near Mount St.
Helens, Aug. 11. (Special.) A second
party of Mazamaa made the ascent of
Mount St. Helens today, ine touowms
reached the top: C. W. Riddell, leader
first company; C. E. Forsythe. leader sec
ond company: H. E. Doering. H. H. Rid
dell, Frank Freidle. Harold Fay, J. H.
Povey, D. B. Newman, George Mont
gomery. A. V. Davidson, K. S. Faucette,
C W. Whittlesey, Beryl Holton, John
Vaughn, V. H. Bishop. Miss Mary Band,
Ethel Vaughn and Francis Beneflel.
The party camped at the timber line
last night and Instead of waiting for the
sun to rise, as the climbers of the first
party did. these were head?d for the top
at 4:30 A. M. There were but two women
In the party and they were in the second
company. All weaklings had been weeded
out and there was nothing to Impede the
rapid, progress of the climbers.
They followed the trail made by the
former party with one or two diversions
to escape crevasses which had made
trouble for the first crowd.
The first company made the summit at
9:15 o'clock, consuming less than five hours
In the ascent. The second company Joined
them at 12 o'clock. The day was balmy,
though clouds obscured the view, only a
few p?aks being visible. Some time was
spent on top. The party registered in the
Mazama record-book, ate lunch and
rested, and started on the return.
The ' first company reached camp at
Spirit Lake at 2 P. M. and the others
straggled in all the rest of the day, the
last party coming in about 7:30 o'clock.
The trip was uneventful, there being no
accidents and no delays. The absence of
those who had to be waited on and
finally escorted back to camp and the fact
that they avoided crossing any crevasses,
together with the fact that the party was
so much smaller and consequently more
easilv handled accounts for the much
better time made over that of the official
party on Saturday, August 8.-
Several new arrivals are in camp,
Harold Fay. of Boston: Dr. Annie Rus
sell, of Seattle, and . W. and H. H.
Riddell, of Portland, having arrived this
'six members of the party, led by Dr.
Otis Akm. left today for a four days
walking trip and they will circle around
the mountain and go down the Lewis
River to the valley and return to Port
land by boat down the Columbia.
The outing is drawing to a close rapld
lv. Camp will be struck about 3 A. M.
Thursday and the return to Portland
begun. The party hopes to catch the
6:15 o'clock train out of Castle Rock Fri
