campaigning on Independent lines.
There has never been a like situation
in Washington political annals. Jo'.in
K. Humphries has been making Ms
fight on a platform which Is opposed
o Asiatic labor and the Immigration
of Chinese and Japanese. Mr. Humph

making Inroads on the labor vote, but
some of the candidate profess not to
lake Mm seriously.
I.clgri It. Freeman's canvass has
been a personal one. He has, deliv
ered no speeches and depends appar
ently upon a personal following of old
timers. Thomas Burke's campaign be
fore and after the withdrawal of Mr.
Wilson baa been of the "stand pat
variety, as has been that of Mr. Ash
ton. Schuyler Puryee has made no cam
paign and it is the one mystery of the
campaign Just why the Kverett man
felt called upon to pay the fee of ITS
for filing his name with the Secretary
of State for the honor of being men

newspapers say the same thing.
Polndexter has made Inroads in King

part of Burke partisans to deny this,
and in the betting circles there Is
money to bark Polndexter with no tak

Him to Stay In California

PA I.EM. Or.. Sept. 11. (Special.) An
effort Is now being made by friends of
Governor Frank W. Benson in this city
to Induce the executive to return to Sa
lem at least a week before the primaries.
It Is tioped he can be convinced that he
should return to Salem by September 19
at the latest. A letter has been directed
to the Governor, urging that he come,
and an answer Is expected within two or
three days.
According to Dr. R. E. Lee Stelner. who
returned to the city from Portland this
morning, the Governor 1 exceedingly
anxious to come, but his physician re
fuses to allow It. contending that the ex
citement and the heat of the campaign
would be injurious to blm. But friends
of the Governor here declare that state
ments which are being sent broadcast as
to his poor condition of health are made
evidently for political reasons in an at
tempt to Injure his candidacy for elec
tion to the office of Secrete ry of State,
they consider It highly advisable that he
come from San Francisco as soon as he
can pospiblv do so.
"The operation referred to in a Port
land paper la evening Is the identical
operation of which I spoke several weeks
obo when -4 returned from San Fran
cisco." stated Dr. Stelner. "It was re
ported in some of the newspapers at that
time. He has practically recovered from
the effects of It and while he will be dis
figured, the operation hns permanently
checked the lupus and there Is every rea
son to believe the Governor will complete

to him tht be return to Oregon as soon
as possible before the primaries and ex

Hundreds of Campers in Rap

Concensus of Opinion Pronooacea This
.umnicr Property Superior to
Others la Every May.
TILLAMOOK BEACH. Sept. 10.
(Special.) It is really quite surprising
to listen to the comments of visitors on
the exceptional qualities of this beach.
Tourists, old-time residents in the
Northwest, newcomers and everybody,
of the hundreds who have been camp
ing here this season, all unite in one
grand chorus of pralee in behalf of
this part of the Oregon coast.
So vara 1 people from Portland who
have been camping here this Summer
have visited nearly all of the seaside
resorts of the Pacific mean in n.i
country. Without a dissenting voice
they state that Tillamook Beach, lying
Just south of the middle of Garibaldi
Beach, nine miles long, possesses fea
tures thev had long since given up as
being possible on the coast of Oregon.
"Wherever I have been on these
Western beaches." said one Eastern
gentleman, "I have found every one of
them to be cold nl! the time, with just
n little warm sun In the middle of the
day. The winds have been terrific at
the other places. The urf has been so
rough and cold that It was a danger to
the health to even attempt to take a
dip. But, here, oh so different. We
have the delightful balm of the north
west wind, after Its force has been
broken bv Neah-kah-nle Mountain to
the north. Hence, there have been no
w inds. Tlje sun has shone nearly every
dav. peeping out after an occasional
earlv morning fog. The rough water has
been entirely obviated by the rocks to
the north, forming a natural break
water for this beach. I may be mis
taken, but If the water is not warmer
here, the air Is so much warmer that
It oe'ems that the water Is also."
The concensus of opinion on every
hand, from everybody. Is that Tilla
mook Beach Is the really Ideal Oregon
Summer coast. C. F. Fields Co.. In

POWER COMPANY BLAMED
Car Service From Portland to Caza
dcro Severely Criticised.
SAIEM. Or., Sept. 11. (Special.) V.
Vincent Jones, of Portland, has filed a
lengthy complaint with the State Rail
road Commission in which he declares
the Portland Railway. Light & Power
Company shows an utter disregard of
the public's comfort and welfare 1n the
operation of trains upon the Sprlngwater
division, running from Portland to Caza
dero. He states that there are not cars
enough in operation ' per cent of the
time to accommodate all of the passengers
riding on the road. He gives some spe
cific Instances of trouble which he and
other people - have had in securing ac
commodations and declares that lie can
not recall when he has had a seat on
an outgoing car of th! line.
He submits to the Commission the as
sertion that a passenger having paid
his fare and holding his ticket Is en
titled to a seat.
'He states that conductors use a
brusque and haughty manner when asked
to furnish better accommodations and
asks the Commission to see that the citi-
zens who use this line he treated with
eome of tho courtesies that are extended
to livestock.
'Railroarl companies are not allowed t
crowd stock cars, as we understand it,"
he says. "Kach animal is at least giver
room enough to stand and breathe, which
Is more than can be said with respect to
human heings."
