Or.. Oct. 13. (Special.) A thoroughly reunited Republican party. trenrthened by a fKror.r addition of IJemocrati. ia the reeu't of tha vlt to day to Pendleton of Jay Bowerman, Re publican nomlnea fcr Governor. Mr. Bowerman. apoko to an audience of 700 at the Oounty- Courthouse tonight. More than 3TO era turned away, failing to find room. Judce Stephen A. Lowell, who atrongiy opposed Mr. "Powerman'a nomination in tre primary campaign, was the chairman of tha meeting: and lie paid tribute to the Condon man a tribute to his man line, tils honraty. political and other wise, and his courage. TMi tribute was added to by Repre sentative Kill, who declared: "we can d"fy anyone to point to anything In his record that could stultify his manhood. School Not I'olitical. Mr Bowerman defined his attitude with retcar.l to the normal schools. He said he had taken the attitude he had In order to take the schools out of pol It Irs. lie said he did not appear as an apologist. He spoke of the four for xner normal schools and declared that not a single one of them had measured up to the standard of a normal school In any other state. "Not one." he as .. sertad. "tausht all the branches that should be tauuht In normal schools." When Mr. Bowerman asserted that In the last year of the normals each grad uate In one of them. In his senior year, cost the state Ill.iOO and that the total demanded by the normals for the year was I3M.M0. there was a Ions; whistle of amazement But from that moment ' the enthusiasm the audience manifested towards him left no question as to Its entire sympathy and accord with his views. Logrolling Is Practiced. "However, this was not the worst . feature of the schools," Mr. Bowerman - went on. "The normal school repre . sentatlves In the House and Senate banded themselves together to vote only for appropriations for counties whose representatives would support ' the normal echoola. Thus the schools were continually digging deeper Into the state's pockets, and if a man wanted to secure an appropriation for Lis dis trict he was compelled to support the - schools. "It was this log-rolllnir. vote-swapping and looting of the treasury I . stood out against and I shall continue to stand out against it. "1 am in favor of normal school train ing, but I am opposed to giving any part of the state one dollar for which the state does not receive one dollar In actual value." Mr. Bow-ermon said that if the peo ple of Oregon wanted one, two or three normal schools they could signify their Pleasure on the ballot and he would obey their behests. Then the schools would be taken out of politics. Bourne's Ends Defeated. He paid his respects to Jonathan Bourne. He said he despised Bourne as a roan and loathed him as a politi cian. "Mr. Bourne undertook to tell you when you shall do this or that. He now tells you 'these are my wishes, thee my commands.' "His last command was to order you not to vote for me. Since then I have advot-ated Mr. Bourne's retirement by the vote of Oregon. Bourne wants to make use of the ofnVe of Governor for his next campaign. He knows he can't do it if I am In the Governor's chair." Mr. Bowerman explained his attitude with regard to Statement No. 1 and the dfrei t primary law. He said that he would veto any attempt to annul or amend them. He salj that he was be fore the people, not as an assembly candidate nor as an anti-assembly can didate, but as the nominee of the Re publican party. He sat down amid long-sustained ap planso. In Introducing Mr. Bowerman. Judge Iwell said that he. more than any of the other candidates, represented tiie common people and was best able to watch cut for their needs and govern them. "I admire the man. his character ard Ills honesty." said the judge. "If ou elect him he will be a Governor of a'l the people." The Pendleton Cowboy Band greeted Mr. Bowerman with martial airs and Berries, Rurpe sang the Bowerman cam paign song, t.'ie audience Joining in the chorus- Attacking Bowerman. Anonymous campaign cards put out by the thousands and In direct violation of the corrupt practices law may result In one or more arrests. The subject is to be brought to the attention of the District Attorney's office at once. The cards contain a slanderous attack on Jay Bowerman, Republican direct primary nominee for Governor of Oregon, reading: "A vote for Jay Bowerman for Governor la a vote for the corpora tions and the bosses. Let the people elect, their own Governor. Do not al low the corporations or the bosses to get in power again." Coder the law, campaign material of "V- i I . i. - - e v . ' - V f .

However, it has been learned by the state Republi can central committee that the cards are being passed around by Ferdinand Reed. an unsavory politician who has been iden tified more or less wltn the cnamoer-laln-Bourne machine. The following statement bearing on the subject was Issued yesterday by the state central committee, over the signa tures of Chairman Nottingham and Sec retary Mason: Several thousand anonymous cards are being circulated broadcast In Port land. They are being distributed by Ferdinand Reed, a discredited local poli tician whose general reputation in it self should stamp as untrue and malicious the statements set forth on the cards. There is more thsn a suspicion that the reason for Reed's activity in opposing Mr. Bowerman at this time may be traced to the last session of the Oregon Legislature, when Bowerman, as Presi dent of the Senate, ordered Reed out of his rooms and returned to him a box of cigars he bad presented Bowerman. This is the same Reed Who was In terested In a public dancehall at Fourth and Yamhill streets until it became so obnoxious to public morals that the po lice authorities Interfered and caused it to be suppressed. Ever since that time. Reed has actively opposed the Republi can administration municipal, county and state. "If additional refutation were needed. other than Reed's unsavory reputation. t can be found In the fact that the cor porations are aiding Mr. West as far as we cm find that they are active at alU The Influence of two United States Sen ators, which the Oregon corporations now control. Is of more value In secur ing rights of way and land grants in and across forest and Indian reserves than the good or harm a Governor can do in a decade. 'The Bourne machine candidate Is Mr. West. Consequently, In the trade, cor poration influence is being exerted in his behalf. Mr. West has never hurt the railroads, but he has been enabled by advance information to forestall lower ing of rates, road improvements or depot construction and making much of this, realizing that the buncombe reputation would be great and good campaign thun der to use when the time came for him to make the race for Governor."

John Harvey, a prominent and wealthy citizen of Vancouver, was struck and Instantly killed by a Shasta Limited train while standing beside the Northern Paclflo tracks a half mile north of Fellda at 4 o'clock this after noon. Tha tragedy took place only a few moments after he had mad a re mark about the danger of being on the tracks.- With him at the time was J. A. Munday, a prominent Vancouver at torney, Mr, Munday escaped death by a narrow margin and made a vain effort to rescue his companion. The train stopped at once after the accident and took the body to Ridge Meld, where It was transferred and brought to this city on the train ar riving here at (:3o o'clock this even ing. Mrs. Harvey is prostrated with grief at the news. Mr. Harvey's death took place through his stepping from one track, to avoid an approaching train, directly In front of another train coming from the op posite direction. Mr. Munday looked up lust In time to see the danger and Jumped Into the clear and grasped his companion, pulling him away from the path of the engine, but not far enough into the clear to keep him from being struck by the first roach of the train. A steep incline -prevented both men from getting easily into the clear. Mr. Munday gave a graphic descrip tion of the death of his companion, lie said: We were walking on the west track of the Northern Pacific about half a mile north of Fellda and I undertook to point out the line between the Water fall and Secrleit places. Mr. Harvey re marked, 'The line crosses the hill about where that log is, I'll go up and see. which he at once started to do. I fol lowed him. Train Comes Unawares. He walked to the line and I followed Mm. He turned toward me as he said, There comes the train,' and I replied, Let us give the trains all the room they want' and we moved promptly over towards the hill acrccw the east track, and were, as we supposed, out of danger of the train. While we stood talking, he facing north and I east, the train we saw coming from the north passed us. I had looked south on the track to see the other train was not coming and as the southbound train passed I turned to wards Mr. Harvey and instantly saw the engine of the northbound train coming with immense rapidity. I seized Mr. Harvey by the arm and shouted, "Look out, John.' pulling him away from the engine and tender, but the first car caught him on the shoulder and wrenched him away from my hold and hurled him many feet up the track. "On rushing to where he was lying I found him dreadfully crushed, but hoping there was still some life, started shouting to Mr. Dobbins' houne, near by, for help. In the mean time the train backed up and put the body In the baggage car. They told me it was not possible to back the train to Felida, as tfrere was no train that stopped there at any seasonable hour, so the body was taken to Rldgefleld." John Harvey Prominent Mason.

Woman Was Bought by Daniel De- laney, Dalles Mnrder Victim. Burled Treasure Her Secret. 9ALEM. Or., Oct. 13. (Special.) Mrs. Rachel Brooks, 90 years of age and believed to be the last of the negro slave women coming to Oregon, died here yesterday. Mrs. Brooks came to Oregon in 1843, accompanying the Delaney family to The Dalles. Daniel Delaney was her master, and she was with htm when Delaney was murdered by Beal and Baker, January 8. 1865. Beal and Baker were hanged in a large grove near the city, theirs being the first execution ever witnessed In Marlon County, and thousands of people from all over the Willamette Valley thronged to see them pay the penalty for their crime. After the Delaney family reached The Dalles, Mrs. Brooks, with the family, was floated down the Columbia River In a wagon box. Delaney purchased Rachel Brooks as a slave girl, paying 11000 for her. In the early '60s she claimed her freedom, and was mar ried twice since. She said she knew where a large amount of treasure was burled near the Delaney home near Turner, but never divulged her secret. Delaney was murdered on the supposition that he was one of the wealthiest men in Oregon. If this suposition was true, his wealth was never found, and there are many who believe' that the negresa' story of burled treasure is correct. Mrs. Brooks Is survived by two sons. Richard and Mansfield, both residents of Salem. CRATER LAKE GETS TROUT Fish Now Plenty, but Do Not Rise Readily to Fly. KLAMATH FALLS. Or.. Oct. 13. (Spe clal.)
