ITS EAST FOB. DOLPH
AM. SIGKS POIXT TO HIS EE-ELEC-TIOX
AS SENATOR.
Many IeErlsIatorf Go to Salem East
ern Oregon not Solid lor the
Free Silver Candidates.
The apparent certainty of defeat -was a
'discouraging feature omnipresent about
the antl-Dolph senatorial quarters, at the
Perkins yesterday. The shibboleth,
'Dolph Is beaten," was no longer to be
heard, and evidently had been sent to
the factory for repairs. Up on the first
floor, in room 1W, the temperature -was
cojd and clammy. Very few legislators
called during the day, and those -who did,
hoping to hear some word of cheer, left
hope behind -when they withdrew and went
down stairs again.
The greatest disappointment suffered by
the free-silver contingent is the unex
pected result of a canvas of the Eastern
Oregon vote. There are 15 republicans
in that section of the state who will have
a. voice in the senatorial election. Three
days ago, the antl-Dolph crowd confidently
claimed everyone of them. Later, they
conceded that one or two might be lost,
but last evening there were not more
than five that they claimed to be at all
FACES IX THE
certain, and these were Orin Patterson,
J. S. Boothby, E. J. Davis, J. S. Gurdane
and J. A. "Wright. Representative
Boothby, of Morrow, is for Tongue; Gur
dane, of Umatilla, is expected to stand
for Lowell, and Davis, of the same county,
not having told anyone who he would
support, is claimed to be for Fulton, Ton
gue and Lowell. Patterson, of Grant, is
for anything to beat Dolph, and has not
yet settled on his combination. Senators
Stewer, Gowan and Price, and Repre
sentatives David, Conn, Hope, Coon, Mc
Greer, Lyle and Shutrum are all claimed
to bo In favor of returning Senator Dolph.
This statement does not now meet with
any serious dispute.
Last evening the Fulton-Tongue com
bination broke camp at the Perkins to
transfer "headquarters" to Salem, where,
for the next week, the senatorial contest
will be carried on. Mr. Tongue left for
the capital on the morning train, and Mr.
Fulton departed on the southbound over
land In the evening, with his retinue, un
daunted by the gloomy outlook, and ready
to make a vigorous campaign until the
republican caucus dispels their dreams.
Captain N. B. Humphrey, a former re
publican politician, now living in Pendle
ton, was conspicuous about the Perkins
yesterday. Ho is bitter in his opposition
to Senator Dolph, but he leavens his ani
mosity with such a number of witty
etories that he had an audience most of
the time.
Sheriff Zoe Hauser, of Umatilla county,
is managing the Lowell boom, and insists
that every legislator from his county will
tmpport the Pendleton lawyer first, last
and all the time. The real object of Hau
eer, apparently, is to keep the Umatilla
delegation from supporting Dolph in the
caucus, and in this he has the hearty sup
port of both Fulton and Tongue. One
prominent members from Umatilla re
marked that "Zoe Is counting his chicks
fceforo they are hatched."

A Few of the Onlookers.
the senate, Mr. James H. Raley, holdover,
representing Unkm and Umatilla counties,
will be nominated for president by Sena
tor Charles Cogswell, and. as one good
turn deserves another. Senator Cogswell
v ill be nominated by the democratic cau
cus for United States senator. Populist
William R. King, of Baker and Malheur
cuatie5, will nominate W. S. Van
cVrburg, holdover for Coos, Carry and
Josephine counties, for the presidency.
and Senator Holt, of Jackson county, will
j-cond the nomination. In the joint pop
nhat caucus, which will be at leaded by
the nine members of that party, aad
Senators Vandorburg and Beckley. of the
people's party, an effort will -be made to
give to Sylvester Pennoyer the compli
mentary vote for United States senator.
The populists want to pay the ex-governor
that honor, but it is not known whether
he will accede to the desire on their part
or not. Senator King says that there will
be no coalition with any faction of the re
publican party or union with the demo
crats In voting for senator. They propose
to travel in the middle of the road.
There are no democrats in the lower
house, and the 53 republicans have not
settled on any organization. A fight is on
for the speakership, and until that is set
tled the other places will not be decided
upon, although it Is generally oenceded
that Oscar P. Miller, of Clackamas county,
will be chief clerk. Among 'the populists
Thomas Buckman and Frank A. Stewart
are spoken of for the complimentary vote
for speaker, and the other officers will
be divided among the friends of the nine
populist members simply as an expres
sion of courtesy to active members of the
party.
XEW FACES IX THE LOBDY.
3Iembers Continue to Arrive, and Are
Promptly Buttonholed.
There were a good many new faces
about the Perkins yesterday. Senator
Raley stayed around most of the day;
Pete Isenberg, of Hood River, with his
practical knowledge of Kansas politics,
was greatly in evidence, and J. W. Hobbs,
ex-representative of Yamhill county, now
candidate for calendar clerk of the sen
ate, was shaking hands with everybody.
r 7
LOBBY.
Representative C. J. Curtis, of Clatsop,
was also about, and Henry Blackman,
collector of internal revenue, found the
hotel a good place to renew acquaintance
with many of his legislative friends. Mr.
Edward Summorville, of Milton, Umatilla
county, who follows farming as an occu
pation and politics as a pastime, was also
-about a good deal. He Is strongly in fa
vor of re-electing Senator Dolph, and had
more than one quiet talk with legislative
members as they dropped in.
R. S. Anderson, the Baker City attor
ney, and a strong advocate of Senator
Dolph's re-election, spent an hour or two
explaining that he was not to be consid
ered as a dark horse in the fight. He
left for home last night, fully convinced
that Mr. Dolph would be nominated by
the republican caucus and elected as his
own successor.
General Compson is not overlooking the
fact that there is someone beside a sena
tor to be elected. He Is more interested
in the perpetuation of the railroad commis
sion, of which he is a member. There is
a strong sentiment prevailing that this
particular commission is doomed, and that
during the session the bill creating it
will be repealed. General Compson is a
democrat, and wants still to represent that
party on the commission, should It be
continued. As there are more populists
than democrats In the legislature, the
claim might be set forth that they are
entitled to the minority representation,
and, unless given it, they would join with
the republicans opposed to continuing the
commission In voting to repeal the law.
Mr. Lowell and Ills Boom.
It was rumored yesterday that Mr. S.
A. Lowell, of Pendleton, would arrive in
Salem today to take personal charge of
his senatorial boom. Mr. Lowell, who has
just been re-elected city attorney of Pen
dleton, is reported as saying that he would
not accept anything less than the United
States scnatorship, or the position of gov
ernor of the state. When approached
some time ago with the suggestion that
two years from now a state senatorship
or a place as congressman might be his,
he is said to have brushed aside prospec
tive honors by declining any such office,
with thanks.
Mr. AVriffht for Speaker.
Mr. Joseph A. Wright, of Sparta, Union
county, was the last of the Eastern Ore
gon legislative delegation to reach Port
land, arriving yesterday morning. Mr.
Wright formally announced that he is a
candidate for speaker of the house.
The Fruit Committee.
The committee Into whose hands has
been intrusted the entertainment of the
members of the National Pomological So
ciety, to be Invited to Portland after the
convention at Sacramento, held a meeting
yesterday. The sub-committee on sub
scription, hotels and transportation, re
ported satisfactory progress and were in
structed to procede with their work. It
was shown that as the business men be
came better acquainted with the nature
of the project, and realized more fully
the benefits to be derived from an enter
tainment of the leading pomologlsts and
fruit-handlers of the country, and a dis
play to them of our fruits, more enthu
siasm is aroused. Quite a sum must be
raised to entertain them, and this will
probably be accomplished.
A display of fruit Is being gathered. The
committee desires to arrange for a sup
per to the visitors, where friendly senti
ments may be generated and expressed,
but this will depend upon the condition of
the finances.

HUSH OF THE WATERS
HILL STREAMS OVERFLOW, FIiOOD
IXG MAXY STREETS.
Sewer Entrances Dammed Vp Tor
rents Pour Down From John
son and. Tanner Creeks.
For more than two hours yesterday
Jchnsen and Tanner creeks, the principal
natural drains of that portion of Port
land Heights extending northwest from
Jefferson street to the Cornell road, were
turned from their beds, and pourod their
yellow torrents thiough paved streets,
filling the cellars of some of the fine res
idences along the foot of the hill, tearing
deep ruts in gutter drains, overturning
wooden sidewalks, and temporarily im
peding street traffic in many places. So
great was the volume of water that people
generally thought that the costly sewers,
that were built to swallow up those trou
blesome creeks, had burst, and prepara
tions were in progress for a general ex
odus, when the flood suddenly receded.
Investigation showed that the entrances
of the two great sewers had become
clogged "with drift, stones and earth, while
the men sent there to watch them were at
dinner, and an overflow naturally fol
lowed. A great deal of damage was done
during the time the flood was on, but
just how much could not be estimated
in dollars and cents last evening.
The heavy continuous rains that fol
lowed the snowfall of last week con
verted Johnson and Tanner creeks into
raging mountain torrents, and the super
intei dent of streets has had his hands
full for several days trying to confine
them to their natural beds and guide
them into the gaping mouths of the great
sewers Intended to receive them. More
than nine inches of precipitation have
been recorded by the weather .bureau
since January 1, and that is more than
the average for the entire month in past
jears. But It was the warm rains of the
past two days that precipitated the trou
ble. The snow banks on the hills melted
rapidly under their influence, and the
ground being already well soaked, the
water found Its way Immediately Into
the natural drains. More than an inch
of rain fell Friday night, and it melted
almost every remaining vestige of snow.
The first trouble occurred In the Clty
Park shortly before midnight on Friday.
Parkkeeper Meyers, who had been "keep
ing his eye on things," discovered a
break In the lS-lnch drain that is planted
beneath the canyon walk, which leads
to the park from the Warhington-street
gate. The break occurred just below the
aviary, and in a short time had cut out
a section of the terrace 20 feet In width
and 10 feet deep. An Immense volume
of water shot out from the broken pipe,
as if from the broken bulkhead of a
flume, tearing up the soil, and cutting a
deep rut, which extends from the break
clear down to the Washington-street
gate. By quick work, Mr. Myers, with
the assistance of four men employed
about the park, managed to save the
seal dam and duck pond from destruction,
by making dams and leading the water
into the mouth of the Johnson-creek
sewer. For 12 hours Mr. Myers and his
men worked like trojans, and they were
just preparing to take a rest and break
their fast, when word came that Johnson
creek was on the rampage.
A SWOLLEN TORRENT.
Johnson creek is usually a quiet little
brook, that gurgles along in the ditches
of the Cornell road, and empties into
the big tewer at the head of Washington
street, within 10 feet of the park pumping
station. But yesterday it was a raging
mountain torrent, whose roar could bo
heard for blocks away, and which dashes
dewn the steep mountain side-In a series
of waterfalls and eddies, which would be
considered picturesque any where but
within a few blccks of the principal res
idence portion of a big city. "The sewer
Intended to receive it is plenty large
enough, for its capacity has hitherto been
tested by a greater flood than that which
rolled down the hill yesterday, but it was
the fact that the mouth of the sewer be
came clogged with drift and dirt that
caused the trouble.
The overflow came without warning at
about 11:30 A. M. The men placed there
to keep tre mouth of the sewer open had
gone to dinner. Suddenly the yellow flood
welled up from the gaping hole into which
It had been pouring. The planking was
torn from the short flume that led to the
grating, and a yellow mass of water,
filled with cordwood, drift, small boulders
and mud, poured over the street. Some
men standing near just had time to rescue
the horses of the "black Maria," which
were sheltered under a shed within the
Ugh board fence that encloses the sewer
opening and pumphouse, and the engi
neer from the latter place made a hasty
exit.
The water rushed down Washington
street knee-deep, stranding a car that was
just turning in from Twenty-third street,
and forming a regular lake at that point.
Pedestrians ran for higher ground, and
housewives in houses near the level of the
street screamed for help and hustled about
to save their property. The passing waters
tore up the asphaltum covering of the
street, overturned sidewalks, and spread
cordwood, drift and mud in every direc
tion. WATER ACROSS LOTS.
At Twenty-third street the rampant
waters cut across lots to the corner of
Twenty-second and Everett, flooding the
long, low building occupied by the boys'
brigade, and tearing up the streets there
abouts. On they rushed to Twenty-first
and Gllsan, where another big lake was
formed, flooding cellars In that vicinity
and causing teror among the residents,
who at first thought the city park reser
voirs had burst. All along the path of the
flood cellars were flooded, deep ruts worn
In roadways, and sidewalks covered with
drift, mud and small boulders. For sev
eral blocks along Twenty-first, Twenty
second and Twenty-third streets the ef
fect was the same. For more than an
hour the entire volume of water from
Johnson creek continued to spread over
that portion of the city, and then It gradu
ally diminished, until at 4 P. M. the in
tersection of Twenty-third and Washing
ton streets was high and dry, and traffic
on the car line was resumed again.
STEMMING THE TIDE.
Parkkeeper Myers was the first to
como to tho rescue. With his assistants
ho hastened to the entrance of the Johnson-creek
sewer, and by extraordinary ef
forts managed to tear away the mass of
drift and earth, and, by building tem
porary dams of sacked earth, forced the
creek back into its natural bed and into
tho sewer. Assistance soon arrived from
the street department. Deputy Superin
tendent Bodman and a force of men set
about to clear the stream above the mouth
of the sewer, and they found plenty to do.
Several jams of cordwood sticks were
formed within 300 yards up stream, and
tho water thus dammed has spread over
the entire street, cutting it into ruts and
rendering it almost impassable with drift.
Huge piles of cordwood hung tottering
on tho brink of the banks of the torrent,
which were being cut wider and wider as
the moments passed. This cordwood yas
brought down from the hills last fall and
piled along the road at convenient places,
ready to cart into town as occasion de
manded. It was precipitated into the tor
rent by the wearing away of the banks
and caused all the trouble. Deputy Bod
man and his assistants broke up the
jams as rapidly as possible and dragged
as much of the wood as possible from the
stream. Late In the afternoon the creek
was under control again, and by keeping
men stationed about the sewer-opening
night and day. Deputy Bodman said he
could prevent further trouble.
Almost simultaneously with the over
flow of Johnson, creek, Tanner creek, for
which a costly sewer has been provided
at the head of Jefferson street, got on the
rampage, and for air hour or more Goose
Hollow experienced an inundation such
as it has not had for 20 years. But the
overflow of Tanner creek was not the
fault of the street superintendent. He
had mea stationed there, half a dozen
of them, all morning, to Jceep the sewer
open. But the overflow of water that
poured down the canyon became so great
as to bring down great logs, and despite
the efforts of the defenders of the sewer,
the gratings were torn away, and the
sink clogged up. Then the yellow flood
poured down Jefferson street, flooding
several houses and numerous cellars, un
til it reached the bottom of the hollow,
corner Jefferson and Chapman streets,
where it turned northward and flowed
through the half-fllled gulch that ter
minates on Multnomah field, forming a
big yellow lake there.
The big Chinese garden south of Jef
ferson street, and north of Chapman, was
almost entirely inundated, and a large
lake still stands there. The crops were
just about ruined. Several other gardens
in the gulch were more or less injured.
For an hour or more the water stood knee
deep at the corner of Jpfferson and Chap
man, and after it receded the mud was
fully eight inches deep in that vicinity.
Travel on the cable-car line was inter
rupted for several hours. Jefferson street,
from Chapman to the mouth of the
sewer, presents a rather dilapidated ap
pearance. Sidewalks are torn up or
buried beneath several inches of mud,
ruts are cut in the street, and pools of
water are left standing here and there.
While many cellars are flooded, very few
houses weie inundated sufficiently to
cause much damage. The Chinese gar
deners were the greatest sufferers. They
fled in terror to the hills when they saw
the water coming, no doubt thinking the
great reservoir had burst. Some of the
Chinese shacks were flooded. Multnomah
field would furnish a beautiful course for
a regatta.
The Tanner creek overflow was handled
in the same manner as was the flood at
Johnson creek, and just as succssfully.
Ihe force of men there was doubled, and
the fewer entrance opened again. New
grating was put in, and in a few hours
the creek was again pouring its yellow
flood Into the great sewer. The remain
ing overflow was guided, by means of
roughly constructed dams, into open man
holes, and now there is no danger of
further trouble.
It was feared for a time that Mar
quam creek, at the south end of town,
would overflow its banks. The sewer
there was taxed to its utmost capacity,
but it proved equal to the emergency,
and serious trouble in that quarter was
averted.
Slides Along: the Columbia.
The heavy rain and high temperature
which prevailed In this city yesterday ex
tended over the Oregon Railway & Navi
gation line west of The Dalles. In the
mountains, the amount of snow was re
ported to be greater than at any time
this season. Numerous slides of mud and
snow occurred in cuts in the mountain
district and interfered with the movement
of freight trains, but all passenger trains
during the day went through both ways
on schedule time.
The Northern Pacific through train, due
at 9 o'clock last night, will not arrive until
early this morning. The delay Is caused
by a washout near Olequa. The local
train from Tacomai came through on time,
but It was seen that slides were com
mencing along the Cowlitz river. That
stream is badly swollen by the heavy
rains, as are all the tributaries to the
Columbia.
Bnrsted Seivern Reported.
The old cedar sewer on Everett street
burst near the intersection of Twelfth,
about 10:30 o'clock last night, and washed
out a big hole in the-street, but did no
other damage. Patrolman Bird discov
ered the break almost, as soon as it oc
curred, and through -the central station,
reported it to Superintendent of Streets
Gradon, who sent men to fix it. The hole
was temporarily patched up, and will be
fully repaired today. Officer Bird also re
ported a depression in the street at
Thirteenth and Davis, indicating a break
in the sewer at that point. He placed
danger signals about the place.
Patrolman Austin reported a break In
the sewer at Corbett and Glbbs streets.
It Is not serious, and can easily be re
paired. "Water in the Valley.
Passengers from up the Willamette val
ley, who arrived on yesterday's trains,
say that the valley is, in places, dotted
with wide lakes of water. The rain has
been exceedingly heavy during the past
36 hours. About Gervais, Turner, Salem
and Woodburn, where the country is
level, there were great expanses of water,
which was doubtless of an average depth
of several Inches. It Is likely that the
smaller streams will be so suddenly
flooded that bridges may go out and other
damage be done. One traveler, who goes
up and down the road frequently, says he
never saw so much water before In the
valley.
Spontaneous Combustion, in Hay.
M. Berthelot has been investigating the
causes of the spontaneous Ignition of hay
In stacks, and he finds that hay kept in
a stove at a temperature of 140 degrees
Celsius will take fire of its own accord,
and that, on the whole, hay in a stack
or loft heats by reason of chemical
changes which take place In it. It is
only, however, after the hay has been
altered by fermentation that these changes
take place.

IX THE COUXTY JAIL.
They Are Charged "With Counterfeit
ing, and Will Await the Action
of the Grand Jnry.
Deputy United States Marshal Humph
rey yesterday returned to Portland from
Lebanon, having in custody counterfeit
ers Frank Jennings and Luke Jennings.
They were held to answer by Justice G.
Lovelee, acting as United States commis
sioner, after a full hearing, and In default
cf $2000 bonds each, were committed to
the Multnomah county jail. William
("Doc") Davenport, the principal in the
crime, is also locked up in the county
jail here In default of ball. The trio will be
held, pending the action of the United
States grand jury. United States District
Attorney Murphy also got home from
Lebanon yesterday. Speaking of the case,
he said: "We did not make a vers strong
showing against Luke and Frank Jen
nings, and the counsel for the defendants
did not introduce any evidence, but relied
upon the weakness of our testimony for a
dismissal of the accused, which was not
allowed. Our evidence was circumstan
tial, but was sufficient for an order hold
ing them, and we will supplement this
with positive proof, on the trial of the
cases."
The Jennings boys were born and raised
in Oregon, and have worked as farm
hands, and as laborers. Luke is aged 30,
and Frank Jennings is about 33 years jold.
Their father is a farmer and sawmill
owner. The arrest of the Jennings broth
ers was accomplished by Jos. Smith and
Daniel Shaw, of Lebanon, who were de
legated with special authority to act as
United States deputy marshals. The pris
oners were delivered by them to Deputy
United States Marshal Humphrey on his
arrival at the scene, Wednesday night.
The evidence against Luke and Frank
Jennings, while circumstantial in its na
ture, seems to be of a very conclusive
character. They have occupied a cabin
in the hills back of Lebanon, and in this
cabin was found a blacksmith's forge and
pieces of mutilated counterfeit coin, evi
dently of coins not well enough made to
pass. "Doc." Davenport, the ringleader,
has been keeping a drug store at Tan
gent. Plaster of paris moulds for mak
ing silver dollars were found by the of
ficers in his house, and a number of coun
terfeit dollars wer eobtained. These dol
lars look well, but have not a good ring.
The making of a plaster of paris mould
is a very simple matter. The impression
of a good dollar is taken in soft plaster
of paris. When the material has become
hard, by exposure to the atmosphere, the
mould is complete. The metal used in
the manufacture of the counterfeit dol
lars is supposed to have been lead and
block tin. To give them the appearance
of silver, they are dipped into a solution,
made by a chemical process.
The counterfeit 510 pieces, the Jennings
brothers are accredited with making un
der instructions from "Doc." Davenport.
In the $10 pieces, bell metal was the body
substance used, and, is in the case of
the counterfeit dollars, they were glided
over with a chemical solution as a fin
ishing touch, most likely a gold wash of
some description.
Deputy Humphrey states that 11 years
ago, when he was sheriff of Linn county,
he arrested "Doc." Davenport in Albany
for making counterfeit dollars, and that
Davenport was convicted of the offense
and sent to the penitentiary, where he
remained for two yeare. Mr. Humphrey
also states that tho counterfeits then
made by Davenport were much better
specimens than are his present product.
On his release, Davenport returned to
his former place of abode and one day
soon afterwards, Mr. Humphrey, who had
been elected justice of the peace, married
Davenport at his request to "a widow
named Mills. Davenport is about 45 years
old, and has grown sons. The counter
feit money which he and the Jennings
brothers are accused of making is re
ported as having been well circulated in
Southern Oregon, and also in California.
CUPIDITY, AVARICE
SELFISHNESS
AND
Frequently keep money in hiding to avoid
taxation, to provide for a contingency
whichsoever arises, or to wait for a de
cline fn values which never takes place.
One decline only whets their appetite for

frequently become their own worst enemy.
Let the reader stop and ask himself if
the above does not fit his case, and If
these very things have not in the past

a good thing when it presented itself.
Let every person with an idle dollar cut
this out and paste it in his scrapbook,
