THE SUNDAY OREGONtA , PORTLAND, APRIL 27, 1902. MANYMEET FURNISH More People in Salem Than for a Number of Years. NOMINEE AT THE STATEHOUSE Warmly Welcomed by All the Offi cials Visit to the istate Insti tutions Great Enthu siasm Aroused. W. J. Furnish visits the state capital, and Is very cordially received by Gov ernor Geer, with whom he holds a con ference. He Is as warmly greeted by the other state officials. The reception tendered the Republican nominee for Governor yesterday and the evening before proved one of the most enthus iastic In the history of Salem. SALEM. April 26. W. J. Furnish, Re publican nominee for Governor, returned to Portland this afternoon, after having 3een tendered one of the most enthusias tic Informal receptions ever given any candidate for public office in Salem. The brief stay of Mr. Furnish In Salem was marked by continual handshaking and many flattering assurances of support at the polls. Mr. Furnish warmly thanked his well-wishers and assured them that In the event of the successful issue of the campaign he would faithfully and hon orably discharge the duties devolving upon the Chief Executive of the stite. The number of people in Salem today was greater than for a, number of years. Citizens of all classes flocked to the Will amette Hotel during the day, where, without ceremony, the visitors were pre sented to Mr. Furnish. The time for the reception could not have been more op portune. The usual large number of . farmers, who visit Silem on Saturday, was considerably augmented today, and Mr. Furnish was enabled to meet many lie might have been unable to see at any other day. At 10 o'clock this morning Mr. Furnish was Joined by Hon. J. D. Lee, of the general reception committed, and E. M. Crolson and Squire Farrar, nominees for the State Senate on the Republican ticket In this county, and went to the State house. The office of Governor Geer was first visited and the reception given Mr. Furnish by Oregon's Chief Executive was most cordial. After an interchange of courtesies and a brief interview, Gov ernor Geer and Mr. Furnish retired to the private office of the Governor, where they were closeted for several minutes. Secretary of State Dunbar, Treasurer Moore, Superintendent Ackerman, Attorney-General Blackburn, Chief Justice Bean. Associate Justice TVolverton, As sociate Justice Moore, and all of the var ious departments of the Capitol building were visited. On every hand there were expressions of a desire for the success of Mr. Furnish and the entire ticket. Mr. Furnish returned to the Willamette Hotel to find a large throng waiting to meet him. At 2 o'clock, a committee consisting of County Chairman W. J. Culver, W. J. Murphy and George B. Gray, called to take Mr. Furnish for a drive to the State Insane Asylum, where a warm, though Informal, reception was extended by Superintendent Calbraith and the heads of the different departments. An informal call was also made at the State Penitentiary, and the State Blind Schools, where Superintendents J. D. Lee cno. George W. Jones, respectively, had provided a fitting reception for the Guber natorial candidate. The visits at the various state institutions were pleasant Incidents, and clearly Indicated a unan imity of feeling for the young candidate, who needs only to be met to Insure a warm and earnest friendship for him. Lack of time prevented Mr. Furnish making a visit to the Reform School and Deaf Mute School, located a few miles cut of Salem, but Superintendents Bick ers and Wentz were In the city during Mr. Furnlsh's stay here, and aided In his entertainment. FURNISH HIGHLY GRATIFIED. Former Democratic Leader Escorts Him to State Institutions. N "W. J. Furnish, Republican nominee for Governor, returned last evening from Salem, where he was given a reception on Friday and Saturday by the Repub lican clubs. He expresses himself as highly gratified at the very hearty wel come tendered him, and the unqualified assurances of the support of Marlon County Republicans. Many prominent leaders were kind enough to say that though they took no part in securing his nomination, they are now universally de sirous that he shall be elected. He was very cordially received by Governor Geer and the other state officers, and spent a very pleasant hour at the Capitol. Several Salem Republicans came down on last evening's train to spend Sunday In Portland. From them. It is learned there were many Democrats In the crowd at the reception last evening, and that some of these expressed to Mr. Furnish their Intention to vote for him for Governor. George B. Gray, who accompanied lr. Furnish on his visit to the state institu tions, was a staunch Democratic leader in Marlon County until 1B96, when he left that party for the same reasons that Mr. Furnish did. The assistance Mr. Furnish will get from Democrats In Marlon Coun ty will of course be from the more con servative element of the party. It Is also learned from men who attend ed the reception, that some of the warm est greetings to the Republican nominee were from men who have been said to be sore over, his nomination. Whatever doubt there may have been regarding support for Furnish In Marlon County has now been dispelled and Marlon County Repub licans will be counted on for the usual majority at the election. Mr. Furnish has not formulated his plans for the present week. Whether he -will remain In Portland or visit other Oregon towns, depends upon the pro gramme to be made out by State Chair man Matthews and Mr. Furnish. DIRECT NOMINATION' BILL. Salem Mass Meeting: Arranges for Menture at Next Legislature. SALEM, Or., April 26. There was a large attendance of members of all po litical parties at the mass meeting this cf terni-on, called in the Interest of a Direct nomination League. Governor Geer, chair man of the meeting, was directed to ap point a committee of five to draft a bill covering the subject of direct nomination to be presented at the next Legislature. The committee will be announced in a few days. It was planned to hold a mass meeting of citizens In Marlon Square, but the in clement weather caused an adjournment to the City Hall. R. J. Hendricks called the meeting to order, and Governor Geer was made chairman. Governor Geer said he was glad the meeting was nonpartisan, and that direct nominations were more needed than any other reform to purify politics. The speaker's declaration In favor of the election of United States Senators by popular vote was received with applause. Circuit Judge R. P. Boise saw in the di rect nomination system the dethronement of political machines, and an eventual re duction in the cost of government. City Recorder N. J. Judah .said direct nomination would do away with' delegated authority and restore sovereignty to the people. He .held that Representatives in these days arogated to themselves more powef than was delegated. Tllrr.on Ford followed in a similar strain, and moved the appointment of a commit tee to draft a bill for the Legislature. Among the Legislative candidates who expressed themselves favorable to the proposed law and indorsed the movement for its enactment, were: J. A. Jeffrey, Democrat, Joint Senator; Frank Davey, Republican, Representative; L. H. Mc Mahon, independent. Democrat, Senator; E. M. Crolsan, Republican, Senator; W. T. Slater, Democrat, Representative; T. B. Kay, -rtepublican. Representative, and Lewis Savage, Democrat, Representative. R. R. Ryan, Socialist candidate for Governor, was called for, but said talking for his party on the subject should be done by candidates on the Legislative ticket. none-ofwho were present. D. E. Swank, of Aumsvllle, spoke briefly in fa vor of the movement. GEER IX SENATORIAL RACE. Friends Urge His Candidacy Under the Mays Law. SALEM, Or., April 26. Governor Geer this afternoon practically announced his candidacy for United States Senator. In discussing the matter of an expression of the choice of the people under the Mays law. he sald- I had Intended, and so announced, that I would not be a candidate for United States Senator, but I received so many letters, from over the State, urging my candidacy, that 1 consented to the circulation of petitions to that effect, under the provisions of the Mays law. This Is a good law, and every man who proposes to be a candidate for that of flc should submit his name to a vote of the people. For years I have advocated the election of Senators by a direct vote of the people, but since this cannot be done now, the nearest approach to It Is to submit the names of candidates to a popular vote. Of all things to be avoided Is the 'dark horse' process of 'not doing the will of the people. With this Invitation by the Lglslature to give the people an opportunity to express themselves on this question. It Is certainly the duty of every man who expects to be a can didate for the Senate to avail himself of Its provisions. I do not know how extensive the effort to secure names to petitions In my favor may be. A sufficient number of names may not be sent In. hut since this Is the law of the State, It Is certainly the duty of every man who wants to be Senator to leave the matter to the popular expression and abide by the results. Surely there Is no fairer way than this, and the man who receives the highest number of votes should be considered the choice of his party. The plurality Idea ob tains In our system of government, and I shall certainly do what I can to assist In the election by the Legislature of the man who has been thus Indorsed. Furthermore, every candidate for the Legislature who believes In the election of United States Senators by a direct vote of the people should declare his Intention to uphold such expression of the people as may be had under the Mays act. JOINT CANVASS ARRANGED. Republicans and Democrnts to Open Marion Campaign at Turner. SALEM, Or., April 26.

It was agreed that only candidates on the Legislative and county tickets should be allowed to participate in the Joint dis cussion, and the parties will "divide time and share expenses. The application of the Socialists for par ticipation in the Joint canvass was re jected, for the reason that a three-cornered canvass of the county was not con sidered practical, and for the further rea son that the Socialists are not considered a regular political organization. Salem Socialists tonight stated that the Socialists would undoubtedly canvass the county In dependently. Democratic Party at Sampter. SUMPTER, Or., April 26. George E. Chamberlain.

Three vacancies exist on the Democratic ticket In Marlon County. Dr. P. H. Fitzgerald, of Gervals, for Representative; William R. McKay, of Champoeg, for Commissioner, and W. T. Rlgdon, of Salem, for Coroner, have with drawn from the ticket. Since the Demo cratic county convention made no pro vision for supplying vacancies on the ticket, candidates for these places will have to l)e provided by petition. Pe titions are In circulation for Joseph La Follett, of Mission Bottom, for Repre sentative, and Frank Feller, of Buttevllle, for Commissioner. The nomination of Coroner may be left, blank on the Demo cratic ticket. Populists for Socialist Ticket. DALLAS, Or. April 26.

Governor McBride Leaves the Matter to Chief Arrasmlth Lively Con test for Appointment. OLTMPIA, Wash., April 26. There Is al lively contest for the appointment of Chief Deputy Grain Inspector at Spokanel' State Grain Inspector J. W. Arrasmlth; takes office May 1, but aa yet has an nounced but one of his 'chief deputies, S) S. King, to be stationed at Tacoma. The two leading candidates for the position of chief deputy at Spokane are W. H. Wis comb and E. L. Perkins, of that city. I' Is practically settled -that Perkins -Ul be appointed. Both are strongly Indorsed, but Perkins Is the favorite with Mr. Arr. smith, and It Is' understood the Governor has placed the settlement of the matter In Arrasmlth's hands. Mr. Wiscomb In the early '90s was City Commissioner of Spokane, having been appointed by Mayor Fotherlngham. It Is an Interesting piece of political gossip that Mr. Fotherlnghatn is now one of Perkins" principal lndorsers for the position of Deputy Grain Inspec tor. Mr. Arrasmlth, who was In Olympla yes terday, stated that he would likely not announce his appointments until after he had taken office. "The law providing fo grain inspection Is cither much needed or else it la a farce," eald he, "and I wish to gye It the best test possible by appoint ing as my deputies men who are thor oughly familiar With the grains of this state. I am taking as ;much time as pos sible in order to look Into the quallflca-. tlons of the applicant? for positions." There are three chief deputies in this state one at Spokane, one at Tacoma and one at Seattle who draw salaries of $100 per month. An assistant deputy at 5S5 per month Is required all the time at Ta coma, and when, the wh?at crop Is In transit seven or eight deputies are re quired at Tacoma. Mr. Arrasmlth expects to get along until the next crop begins to move with Just a chief deputy In Spokane, only a chief deputy In Seattle and a chief deputy and one assistant In Tacoma. During the busy season one assistant will be needed In Seattlo and several in Ta coma. AT STATE INSTITUTIONS. Population Is Increasing to a Marked Decree. OLTMPIA, Wash., April 26. That the population of the several state Institutions Is Increasing to a marked degree Is shown by a report Ju?t issued by the State Board of Control for the year ending March 31, 1902. The greatest Increase over the year preceding Is In the State Peniten tiary, where the average population has Increased 29 per cent, or from 403.7 to 52L29. The insane hospitals at Stellacoom and Medical Lake also show marked Increases In population. The view of the Board of Control In regard to the penitentiary Is that the population of the state has large ly Increased, particularly In the cities where crime Is likely to be more preva lent. King County alone eent fully 100 persons to the penitentiary during the year Just closed. The following shows the average popu lation in the different Institutions during two years: Tear ending March 31, 190L 1902. Eastern Washington Hospital for Insane 334.4 316.16 Western Washington Hospital for Insane 6S0.7 762.8 Penitentiary 403.7 521.29 Soldiers' Home 170.7 193.81 Reform School 161.93 170.73 School for Defective Touth 121.3 Nearly all the institutions also show an Increase over the preceding year In the average dally cost per capita for main tenance, as Is shown by the following: Tear ending March 31 190L 1902. Western Washington Insane Hospital J0.34S J0.376 Eastern Washington Insane Hospital 378 .4536 Penitentiary 359 .354 Reform School 326 .342 Soldiers Home 453 .461 In explaining the increase in cost per capita it is stated by the board that at each of the two hospitals for the insane there are supplies on hand worth $10,000, and wood enough to last until next No vember, while such an amount of sup plies was not on hand at the end of the preceding year. The last Legislature appropriated $200,000 to run the. Western Washington Hospital for Insane for two years. The first year'f expenditures, as shown by, the board's report, were $104,750 62. For the Eastern Washington Hospital for the Insane $115,000 was appropriated, of which $61,118 45 has been expended.

Five Men at Salem Secure a SaT and Nearly Gain Their Freedom. SALEM, April 26. Five prisoners In the county Jail, awaiting the action of the Circuit Court or serving short sentences for petty offenses, today attempted to break Jail in broad daylight by sawing off the bars on the windows of the Jail under the County Recorder's office. The Recorder heard the work and notified the Sheriff, thus frustrating the plans of the prisoners. During the day the men are allowed the freedom of the Jail corridors, and had a splendid opportunity to plan their escape. The prisoners had sawed an inch bar in two, and in 10 minutes more would have removed a second bar, which would have enabled them to escape. Soap was used to deaden the sound of the saw. The men were placed In steel cells, where they will remain during the re mainder of their terms. The work of sawing was done with a new Dlsston steel saw. A hobo, who was today released from Jail after serving a sentence for petty larceny. Is suspected of having provided his less fortunate fel lows means of effecting their escape. The prisoners who would have been benefited by successful jail delivery were: John Horner, In for larceny; Ralph Bland and George Koontz, both held for larceny; Andrew Horner, charged with giving in toxicating liquor to minors all four awaiting the action of the grand Jury and H. P. Friar, who Is serving a 60 days' sentence for wholesale larceny of bicycles In Salem. Friar was seen operat ing the saw when the prisoners were de tected by the officers. He Is considered a crook. This makes the third attempted Jail break during Sheriff Durbln's four years' administration. One attempt was successful, three men accomplishing their escape, only one of whom was afterward returned. RICHEST MINE IN OREGON. North Pole, In Eastern Oregon, Said to Be Entitled to Distinction. BAKER CITT, April 26. The Nbrth Pole mine is now "said to be the richest mine in Oregon. A few months ago the English syndicate that owns the mine would have sold It for $750,000, which would have been equal to the sum expended In buying the mine and improving 1L Today the mine could not be bought for $10,000,000, so well informed people declare, who are familiar iwlth the value of the ore In sight. i A few months ago & very rich pay streak was encountered,- which produced ore that was worth $10 and up per pound. This pay streak, instead of pinching out, as very rich veins often do, continued to ,widen and show unmistakable signs of permanence. 'The vein' Is now" well de fined, and the assay value of the ire is very high. Small quantities of the ore. which Is of a sulphide character, brings fabulous returns, when sent to the smel ter. Besides the sulphide ore, the mill Is kept constantly going on ore that la not so rich, but still rich enough to pay hand- 'somely. The company is a close corporation, and It Is almost Impossible to get' any Inside Information In regard to the value of the ores", or the net 'amount of the monthly clearr-up. .
