THE SUNDAY OREGOlSriAN, PORTLAND', JANUARY 21, 1900.
IN- FIRST DISTRICT
Eight
Candidates for the Con
gressional Nomination.
MB. TONGUE HAS A HARD FIGHT
Southern Oregon Vrgins Cnndldncy
of ex-Spcnlcer Carter, of
Jackson County.
Interest In (republican politics Is chiefly
centered In the spirited contest now
under way for the congressional nomi
nation in the first district Eight promi
nent republicans are mentioned In con
nection with the nomination, and all -are
putting up a clean fight -within party
Hues. Each has strong following. State
Senator George C. Brownell has Clacka
mas county without doubt He has can
vassed the field thoroughly, and has his
county so well in hand that the Tongue
men- have but faint hope of wresting It
Irom him.
Claud Gatch will go Into the convention
with the solid backing of Marlon county.
Mr. Gatch Is one of the most popular
republicans in Oregon. He Is an ex
znayor of Salem. In the sensational con
test of 1B95 he received complimentary
votes for United States senator.
Ulnn county's candidate is ex-Circuit
Judge H. H. Hewitt, of Albany. Judge
Hewitt is one of the best-known jurists
In the state. He was defeated for re-election
in 1898 because the republicans of
flls district did not arrange the ballot
in a. way that would give him the full
vote of his party. This was an accident,
find one which the republicans of his dis
trict "have since had reason to regret.
Benton county presents State Senator
John D. Daly, of Corvallls. Pew repub
licans are better known than Senator
Daly. He was a stanch Dolph support
er In the legislature of 1895 He can safe
ly count on the delegation from Lincoln
county as well as that of Benton.
A. C "Woodcock, of Eugene, has strong
following, and his friends are urging him
to enter the lists as Uane county's can
didate. Robert G. Smith, of Grant's Pass, will
le the candidate of Josephine county.
Mr. Smith was a member of the legis
lature of 3895. He stood by Senator
Dolph to the last Speaking of Mr.
Smith's chances, William Huntley Hamp
ton, of Xieland, who was the republican
nominee for the legislature in Josephine
county two years ago, said yesterday:
"Mir. Smith will have the Josephine dele
gation behind him. He is an able, active
man, and he would honor the first district
If It should send blm to congress."
Southern Oregon Is pushing Hon. E.
"V. Carter, of Ashland, to the front for
the nomination. Mr. Carter was speaker
of the house at the special session In
1S98, and at the regular session -In 1899.
His friends say that he can go Into the
convention with the support of the dele
gations from Jackson, Klamath, Lake,
Coos and Cunry counties. Mr. Carter
was In town yesterday, and was seen at
the Imperial hotel. Asked about the con
gressional nomination, he said it was an
honor to which any republican might
aspire. He said be knew that his friends
were urging his name, and that he great
ly appreciated their interest In his be
half. "Southern Oregon wants Mr. Carter,"
said A. Y, Beach, one of the owners of
the Lakex'lew Examinee "We know him
as a broad man. He would honor the
first district in congress, and we are de
termined to do everything possible to
bring about his nomination. Southern
Oregon has large interests that need at
tention, and we are entitled to represen
tation in congress."
Representative Tongue realizes that he
bas a stiff fight on hand, and is working
hard to hold his forces together. He is
sure of "Washington county, his borne;
but he knows that he will have to rustle
to get votes in the other counties. Sen
ator McBride's recommendation of Ira S.
Smith, of Monmouth, is a. move to keep
Polk county in line for Mr. Tongue. Mr.
Smith was a member of the legislature
of 1895. Though he voted for Senator
Dolph to the end, the Dolph managers
regarded him as one who -was ever ready
to flop. He was not disconcerted when
Senator Dolph went down to defeat. His
recommendation for the Alaska collector
ship comes, after five years, as a reward
for the uncertain state of mind in which
he kept himself for 40 days and nights
at Salem in January and February, 1S95.
It is a battle royal, and the best man
will win, and the others congratulate
him and work for bis election. Each of
Mr. Tongue's opponents has his own
county, but no one not even Mr. Tongue
has the district The opposition candi
dates know that the only way for one
of their number to win is to break up
Tongue's strength and get him out of the
way. The plan was projected many tlmes
when Blnger Hermann was In congress,'
but It did not succeed until Mr. Tongue
-won the prize at Albany In 1896. Mr.
Tongue has the same kind of a fight on
b.and this year that Hermann had four
years ago.
"Within a few days Chairman George A.
Steel will call a meeting of the repub
lican state central committee for the
purpose of -naming the time and place
of holding the state convention. There
seems to be jio doubt that the conven
tion will be held in Portland, and that
the date will be early in April. Chair
man Steel said yesterday that the only
business that will come before the com
mittee will be In relation to the hold
ing of the convention and the appor
tionment for representation.
BOARD OF TRADE GROWING
Future of Portland Depends on Im
mediate Organized Effort.
W, M. Killingsworth, vice-president of
the board of trade, said yesterday that the
progress of the new industrial organiza
tion is very gratifying to its promoters,
and that the business men of the city, es
pecially the young men, are taking a lively
interest in the matter.
"When a village of 95,000 people," said
Mr. KiUlngsworth, "continues to drift
along without effort, using an old-fashioned
flintlock gun, as Portland has been
doing, it Is bad. "We have taxed ourselves
$350,000 to deepen the channel of the Co
lumbia, and not a dollar of this has been
spent except under the direction of the
United States government engineers. "We
tax ourselves annually 1 mills to main
tain this channel, which is a duty the gen
eral government should assume, and would
assume if we would go about the matter
In the proper manner-
"We will never get proper recognition
by our government and justice given us
until we have force "behind our request
The facts, as we see them at the close of
the 19th century, are, that when a presi
dent is elected, before he is inaugurated,
ho takes a penclL and checks off his ap
pointments of men in New York, Illinois,
Michigan and California, always naming
men who will bring to him the strongest
backing for a second nomination. This
principle of appointment is true from the
highest office down to the lowest; hence
the Importance to this city to organize
and demand its rights, discarding the flint
lock gun and using the modern weapon, or
ganized effort
""We have drifted too long without united
effort holding the powers that be respon
sible Jor our present condition. A man can
drift and so can a city. In talking up the
board of trade, I have found no opposi
tion from the citizens of Portland to stand
in line and be counted as believing In Port
land's supremacy.
""There should be organized In Portland
a mining exchange. I find, while work
ing for the board of trade, that something
of this kind is wanted. I would suggest
that those who are interested write to
Judge Seneca Smith, chairman of the mln-
ing committee of the board of trade, so
that a meeting can be held and arrange
ments be made ior organization. Mining
Is one of the most important industries of
this section, and if proper 'steps are taken
Portland can be made the mining center
of the Pacific Northwest"
Mr. Xilllngsworth concluded by saying
that it was up to the people of Portland.
"IAIQ IB tOO Bhort," be said, "for men to
atand on the street corners and brood and
dream over the past Organized, concen
trated, determined effort Is the only sure
road to success. The day of adopting res
olutions and giving banquets Is over. It la
work and action that we want The New
York of the Pacific coast will be named
within the next six months, and shall it
be Portland?"

TRUCE MAY BE EXTENDED
President Nobler, of tbe O. R. & N.,
Speaks of the Clearwater Country.
At the Portland end of the line, it is im
possible to get Inside information concern
ing the renewed rumors of "peace" oe
tween the O. R. & N. and Northern Pa
cific, but It is reasonably certain that the
news sent out from New York to St Paul,
published yesterday, is "off" in its alleged
facts.
President Mobler, of the O. R. & N.,
was asked by a representative of The
Oregonlan about the statements In the
report on the Clearwater country, from
St Paul. He 'did not wish to controvert
other statements, but it was apparent
from his talk and manner that he had no
fear that his company had given up or
would give up any of the advantages ot
its position. "This company," he said,
"has thoroughly protected Its located lines.
It has acquired the right of way from
Rlparia to Mount Idaho, a distance of 170
miles, as well as other Important lines.
The men who control its interests at New
York are able and comietent and no ap
prehension need be felt that any advan
tage will be-surrendered. I have no doubt,
however, that the truce which has been
observed since last August will be extend
ed for a time how long I would not un
dertake to say. The two companies have
certain common Interests, and I have no
doubt an understanding will finally be
reached. I have always declined to be in
terviewed on the Clearwater question, but
I know what has been done there, and
what position we occupy. I can only re
peat my statement that our affairs are m
thehands of men at New York able to take
care of them and of the Interests of the
country traversed by our lines, including
future development."
As to the statement that he was to retire
from the O. R. & N., and take the presi
dency of the Kansas City, Pittsburg &
Gulf, Mr. Mohler says there is not a word
of truth in it He puts the denial in this
somewhat emphatic form: "The news
paper liars union, supported by the gen
tlemanly incubator and humorist in St
Paul, is showing its usual enterprise In
slating me for different positions in tho
world. There is no truth whatever in
the report that I have been 6lated for the
presidency of the K. C, P. & G. or any
other road. I wish the people who en
deavor to be humorous would apply their
talent where it would be of some benefit
to the public."

ENGLISH CAPITAL INTERESTED
"Will Assist in Development of Seven
Devils Country.
E. Hv Anderson, Portland, who has
just returned from the Seven Devils coun
try, in Idaho, says English capital Is be
ing interested to a very large extent in
the copper mines, and considerable amount
of development work is being done, pend
ing the completion of the Pacific & Idaho
railroad, from "Welser. The railroad com
pany is holding 700 men In the vicinity of
"Welser. for the purpose of pushing the
construction of the road as soon as the
snow melts away. About 60 miles of road
bed have already been completed, which
makes Horseshoe bend the temporary ter
minus, and a six-stall roundhouse is being
built In a most substantial manner at
"Welser. The men are held through the
winter, by prbvlding them, with work
enough to pay their expenses, and they
seem very willing to wait for spring to
open, which, according to present Indica
tions, may not be so very far In the fu
ture. Mr. Anderson puts the date for re
sumption of work on a large scale at
February 15.
He predicts that "Welser will be the live
liest town in Idaho this year, as the force
of laborers on the road will be Increased
to 1500, and the Seven Devils copper mines
will also begin to make their headquar
ters in the town.
Mr. Anderson Is interested in the de
velopment of copper properties 50 miles
from "Welser, and he has great confidence
in the future of that whole region. Gold
enough Is found in the copper to pay the
expense of mining and smelting, so the
copper itself will be all clear profit The
copper men of the Seven Devils think a
smelter will soon be In operation at Baker
City, and if this is not crowded with too
many orders, the ore will be shipped by
rail direct from the Seven Devils to Baker.
o
WHY IT WAS CANCELED.
Reasons That Kept "A Cheerful
Liar" From Succeeding:.
Many comments have been made con
cerning the sudden termination of the en
gagement of "A Cheerful Liar," which
was given to a crowded house at the
Metropolitan theater last Sunday night.
The performance was not up to the ex
pectations of the local manager, and the
engagement was canceled. The perform
ance did drag and at times lacked the
snap and vim that is so desirable in mu
sical farce-comedies. The reason for this
partial failure seems to be managerial
greed. "A Cheerful Liar" Is musical or it
is nothing. For 15 paltry dollars the or
chestra seats were sold, and the musicians,
relegated to the wings, with several lay
era of scenery between the leader of the
band and the actors. It was like a pro
duction of "Hamlet" with the role of tho
melancholy Dane cut out
The life of "A Cheerful Liar" Is In its
musical specialties. These naturally did
not create very much enthusiasm with a
practical absence of orchestral accom
paniment The company carries with It
12 clever specialists. Many ot them have
played with success in some of the lead
ing traveling combinations of the country.
The leading lady. Miss Stella Bo
mar, is a young woman of beauty,
spirit and delightful personality, ana,
moreover, has a lovely voice one that is
bound to bring her success. There was
no reason why this comedy should not
have succeeded, except'that already given.

PLEASED AT THE DECISION
"What Superintendent Gardner Says
of the Schmidt Case.
During the past week the Boys' and
Girls' Aid Society has admitted in tho
Homo 10 children, and placed out 15, leav
ing now on hand 37 children, 18 of whom
are boys and 19 girls. Among those ad
mitted Is a little boy and girl from Baker
county, aged, respectively, 3 and 5 years,
who are beautiful children. A good home
Is procured for the little girl, and It Is to
be hoped a similar one will be found for
the boy In the near future. There are
also among the girls several school girls
to be placed out, who will work for their
board and clothing; also a girl for small
wages.
The superintendent expresses his pleas
ure at the decision of the circuit .court
in the Schmidt case, but says that he was
not at all surprised, as he felt positive
that an adverse decision could not have
been given, as the law In the matter is
very plain, and were the society only the
temporary guardian of the children pend
ing the reformation of their parents, they
would need an entire detective force to
watch the parents, so that in case of al
leged reformation without foundation, they
could show to the contrary. The society
could not afford to be beaten In this case,
as it would be a means of breaking up al
most all the work that has been done for
the last 10 years.
The superintendent further says that the
Schmidt case was one of the most aggra
vated they have ever been called upon to
take charge of. The witnesses who testi
fied to the depravity of the mother and
the supposed father wero professional men
and people of excellent standing in the
community. The number the last child re
ceived by the society was 1546, thus they
have handled that number of children, and
exclusive of those out of that number
placed for legal adoption, they have about
500 under direct surveillance of the society
at this time.

OREGON BAR ASSOCIATION.
Its Record Since Organization Nine
Years Ago.
The first annual meeting of the Oregon
Bar Association was held at Portland,
Or., October 17, 189L- Cyrus A. Dolph was
the first president, and L. B. Cox was
the first secretary. Meetings have been
held every year since, the second meet
ing being held October 15, 1S92; the third
October 20, 1893; the. fourth October 18,
1894; the fifth October 17, 1895; the sixth
August 20, 1896; the seventh August 19,
1897; the eighth in November, 189S, with
an adjourned meeting in December, 189S,
and the ninth regular annual meeting last
November.
The constitution and by-laws provided
first lor committees on jurisprudence and
statutory reform, committee on legisla
tion, commltteo on judicial administra
tion and remedial proceedings, committee
on legal education and admission to the
bar, committee on grievances, committee
on admission and membership. There is
also an executive commltteo, elected by
the association, the others being appoint
ed by the president. The work of the
first three, committees has from time to
time overlapped, and for several reasons
the results wished for have not been ac
complished by the association in the di
rection of legislation. This was due in
the first place to the indorsement by the
association of too many bills to be han
dled with safety by the committee, being
more than the legislature could well be
asked to consider as coming from one
source. After some years' experience, the
committee on legislation was assuming
a definite and workable shape, when its
progress was hindered by the collapse of
one legislature and a senatorial election
in the next one, together with failure of
support of bills In the hands of the com
mittee on the part of members of the as
sociation. At one time it was resolved
by the association that the institution re
frain from taking part In legislative mat
ters, and at present this resolution is in
existence on the books, although it has
been said that the effect of this resolu
tion will be merely to call the attention
of the association to the necessity of act
ing consistently In this direction In the
future.
The Bar Association of Oregon has done
good in two directions beyond the power
of measurement or expression, it Is said.
In its early days there came to this state
with the. flood of immigration many ad
venturers, who under the name of law
yers endeavored to extract what living
they could from the community. The
rules of the supreme court on admission
to the bar had not been formed to meet
such conditions. Two committees of the
bar association cover this ground. One
is the grievance committee. It Is the
province of this committee to attend to
all complaints made by laymen of ill
doings by any lawyer, and to consider
such complaint, and If, In the opinion of
the committee, the complaint is well
founded, to bring proceedings against the
Individual in the supreme court. The
grievance committee has been working
quietly and steadily since the beginning
of the organization. It is one of those
Institutions for the public good In which
the members work without fear or favor,
and also without reward, and of which
the duties Involved carry responsibilities
which are as great as those coming before
the courts. The proceedings of this com
mittee are necessarily quiet, but their in
vestigations are searching, and in each
instance, before action Is taken, the par
ties, and their witnesses appear before
the committee, no matter from what part
of the state they may come. Many com
plaints are brought of misunderstanding,
mostly occurring out of Ill-formed ar
rangements between so-called lawyers
who solicit bad collections, and their cli
ents. The committee on legal education has
from time to time, with the assistance
of the supreme court, attempted to dis
cover a way by which the much-discussed
question of admission to the bar could
be settled. There is no question that has
taken so much time before the bar as
sociations of this country In late years
as that of admission to the bar. Every
state finds difficulty in forming a rule
that is both fair to the applicant and
safe for the state.
In some of the states the bar asso
ciations flourish, and In some they do
not The Oregon Bar Association Is In
better condition than that of many of
the states, and Its work Is always done
at a disadvantage, for the reason that
as a rule the president and the commit
tees have to be at Portland In order to
work, and It has been necessary to hold
the meetings here also. This detracts
from the support of other parts of the
state. The advisability of holding meet
ings in other towns of the state has been
discussed, but it has not been considered
advisable to do so, though the benefit of
such a programme, If the lawyers were
evenly divided up among the towns, so
as to create an Interest and sort of a
rivalry, can easily be seen.
o ft
Where Sewerage Is Needed.
The agitation of the unsanitary condition
of the district surrounding East Morrison
and East "Water streets will probably re
sult in something being done to relieve the
present conditions, but it Is considered that
permanent remedy cannot be had until
there is a short sewer for the district At
present theoverflow from the river is some
Tellef, and has always been the salvation
of the whole district between Union ave
nue and the riven "Without this periodi
cal washing out by overflow, that portion
of the city would be In constant bad con
dition. Also the water from Asylum
springs, flowing along East Stark street,
under the Southern Pacific railway em
bankment, acts as a sewer to some extent;
but now that there Is renewed ac
tivity and a lot of people are going into

the territory along Bast "Water street,
these overflows and the Asylum creek are
regarded as Insufficient, and sewerage is
called for. But East Morrison street Is
not the only place complained of. Along
East Oak to the river, on which there is
a large sewer, there is cause for complaint
from the packing-houses west of the Tail
way embankment, which hae no connec
tion with this sewer. At times the odor
from the ground underneath these build
ings is overpowering, and Is remarked on
by engineers on passing trains. There Is
evidently a lot of work for the health of
ficer and sewer committee, not In one place,
but in several, west of Union avenue.

The Semalne Rellgieuse, of Quebec, Is
a Roman Catholic paper, published (aa it
weekly announces) with the approbation of
the archbishop. Week before last It con
tained an article In which the English
were denounced aa oppressors of the
French In Canada. There was trouble at
once. The other French papers of Quebec
made haste to rebuke the Semalne Re
llgieuse. The mayor of the city publicly
rebuked It. Last week the editor apolo
gized for letting the offensive article slip
by him into type. Archbishop Bgin had
nothing to do with the appearance of the
article. To the Montreal Herald, Arch
bishop Bruchesi, of that city, writes: "We
recognize In England the -generous and
powerful nation under the flag of which
Providence has led us to protect our re
ligion and our sacred liberties. We oppose
a formal denial to the stranger who says
