THE SUNDAY. OEEQQm&K, PGRTLHD,' JTOE 1, 1902. FINANCES GFO.&.O. Adjustment to Permit Union With 0. R. & N. PROBLEM OF PRESENT LEASE If Harrlmnn Should Buy the Bonds and Effect Merger of O. fc. G. In. Southern Pacific, the Property Could Be Handled. "When the announcement was made that Mr. Harriman had obtained control of the Southern Pacific Company In the Interest of fthc Union Pacific, railroad men Im mediately leaped to the conclusion that the Southern Pacific interests in Oregon (the Oregon & California railroad) would be yoked up with the O. R. & :n. ana tne two put under tne management ui w- eet of general officers. Outsiders did not flgure out the details of this consolidation. TVhen more attention came to be given the matter it was found that there were great obstacles to the coalition of the two properties. One of the obstacles was the unfailing annual deficit of about ?500, 000 in the Oregon & California. Another was the lease of the Oregon & California to the Southern Pacific Company, which is to run until 1927. By the terms of the lease the Southern Pacific Company Is bound to pay interest on the bonded debt of the Oregon & Cal ifornia, $494,800 every six months. To de fault in the payment of that Interest would terminate the lease in a hurry and leave the Oregon & California free to negotiate with the O. R. & N. or any other com pany, provided the German bondholders, into whose hands the property would thea fall, should be disposed to take such ac tion. But the Southern Pacific could not default in that Interest without default ing on numerous other bonds it has guar anteed and upon Its own direct issues 5100.336.000 direct and $183,297,000 on sub sidiary properties, not counting the 519,792, 000 of 5 per cent bonds on the Oregon & California. Default would mean the loss of the 5200,000,000 of Southern Pacific stock, and the company could not afford to. do this to get rid of the relatively small sum involved for Interest on the Oregon & California bonds. Therefore the prospect of getting rid of the Southern Pacific lease in order to get the Oregon & California and the O. R. & N. Into closer relation, was regarded as dim. And even if a solu tion of that problem could be found the matter of so uniting the two properties that the annual deficit of the Oregon & California should not be loaded upon the O. R. &. N. was one that called lor con siderable ingenuity. Those who cling to the theory that the Oregon lines of the Harriman system are to be united under one set of general offi cers at Portland have figured out a. way this may be accomplished. Instead of go ing through the circumlocutory process of defaulting in Interest and pissing through bankruptcy court, a process that would be attended with possibilities too grave to permit It to be considered for a moment, the whole thing might be neatly and expeditiously done by Mr. Harrlman's purchase of the bonds of the Oregon "& California. He already owns the stock of the company. If he should buy the bonds now held by the Germans, he would be In position to refinance the Oregon & Cali fornia on a basis that would admit of combining it with the O R. & N. or mak ing any other disposition of it that might be deemed wise. Mr. Harriman would in that way actually become both parties to the lease, and he ought not to find It a difficult matter to agree w.th himself as to what should be done with the property. It would be practically a complete merger of the Oregon & California into the South ern Pacific Company, and President Har riman, of the Southern Pacific, could then do as he might please with the property of the Oregon &. California. But to purchase the bonds of the Ore gon & California, supported by eo good a guaranty as that of fhe Southern Pa cific Company, will require a considerable sum of money. The face of the bonds is 519.792,000, and they are assured 5 per cent Interest In gold to July 1, 1927, when the principal Is due in gold. This Is a con siderable sum to take care of now, but it must be met eventually, and the question is jvhether It would not be wiser to ad Just that debt now, when such adjustment might be made the means of getting the property on a better earning basis, than to endure the present situation for 25 years longer and then have to pay just the same. Railroad men expect Mr. Har riman to arrange this matter within the coming year, and it Is expected to result in great good to Oregon. FURNISH TO WIN. (Continued from First Page.) Republicans have heretofore had a ma jority of from 200 to 400 for state offi cers, but In county affairs the Democrats have elected officers in one or two In stances, and it Is expected they will do so this time. In my opinion the Demo crats will give Chamberlain for Governor a small majority, with Raley for Attorney-General and Wann for State School Superintendent not far behind him. On the county ticket the Sheriff and Clerk will be Democratic with decisive major ities. Representative and Surveyor will be close. The Democratic vote will be tne largest ever cast In the county. R. H. MITCHELL, Chairman Democratic County 'Central Committee. COOS COUXTY. Republican Stnte and Legislative Ticket Sure of Success. MARSHFIELD. Or., May ZL The whole Republican ticket, state and legislative, will carry Coos County by 200 plurality. Judge Bean running probably 50 ahead of the ticket. The Republicans expect to elect their entire county ticket, although the Democrats claim to be able to gain enough Republican votes to elect their nominee for Sheriff. J. S. Lawrence. The race for Sheriff will he close. Republi cans feel confident that even the present popular Democratic County Clerk, L. ii. Hazard, will be defeated by the regular Republican majority. R. D. Hume, for Joint Representative for Coos and Curry, will be returned. This county went 2G6 for McKinley, but the registration shows 2200 this year, against 2500 then. Many Republicans now claim the county will go 300 Republican. Two hundred ls a con servative estimate, and there is a prob ability of our making a clean sweep. J. W. BENNETT, Chairman Republican Central Com. Democrats Expect Fe-rr Ofllces. MARSHFTELD. Or., May ZL Chamber lain will gain heavily and may carry Coos County. Tongue will run behind his ttlcket, but will probably get a ma jority. The remainder of the Republi can ticket for state officers will have a majority of probably 300 or more, ex cept Crawford, who -will not receive his party vote. The county ticket will bo close on Sheriff and Clerk. Thrift, for .Assessor, Democrat, will be elected. IS PORTLAND READY TO BE TAMMANYIZED? The conspiracy between the. Police de partment and the District Attorney, look ing to support of the fusion ticket by the slums of Portland, has become so universally known and understood that all pretense at denial has been aban doned. Every voter knows evactly the effect of his action as to ifayor. It haa been arranged that Mr. Inman Is to re ceive the "wide open" vote, In return for concessions that are to he made the thieves, gamblers, Turnshops,- prosti tutes and pimps of the North End. Meanwhile vice holds high carnival In the various disreputable quarters of the city. There Is no flght upon It by the police force, which Is "standing In" to elect Inman. There Is no concern In the District Attorney's office, which is concerned-only In the success of the con spiracy. : As to the reception of this nefarious undertaking, eo far as it relates to the Mayoralty, there can be little doubt, The decent element of the community will vote for Judge Williams. It Is sufficiently understood that the chief engineer and promoter of the enterprise is Aleck Sweek, who aspires to be the boss of the allied official and "wide open" alliance a sort of Richard Croker on a small icale. In whose hands Mr. Inman, so far as the regula- controlled The perpetration of this alii- ance will be euluclont notice to the law great many voters failed to register, and the vote of the county will probably be less than two years ago. J. T. HALL, Democratic Committeeman. DOUGLAS COUNTY. Both. Republican and Democrats Confident of Success. ROSEBURG, May 3L An Oregontan representative called on Chairman K. 1. Miller, of the Republicans, and Dexter Rice of the Democrats, but "both pleaded a lack of definite estimates as to the out come of the election, and that they were too buss to write statements. A summary of the situation as nearly as can now be determined is as follows: Both the county chairmen. Dexter Rice for the Democrats and Dr. K. I. Miller for the Republicans, express confidence of success. On the state ticket the general belief is that George E. Chamberlain, for Govcf nor, and James H. Raley, for Attorney-General, will each run ahead of his ticket. The former will probably carry the county by 200 plurality and the latter by a larger figure. The campaign has been quiet, having been conducted in the nature of a still hunt, especially on the part of the 'Republicans. The- lack of open expression makes the probable result the harder to estimate. JACKSON COUXTY. Close on Stnte Ticket Members of Legislature Republican. GOLD HILL, May 31. As to the prob able result of the political contest in Jackson County, I believe the Congres sional, Legislative and county ticket Is safe with an increased majority over two years ago. The state ticket will be close. The conservative vote of the Democratic and Populist parties will undoubtedly favor and support the present Republican National, state and county administra tions. A. E. KELLOGG. Chairman Republican County Central Committee. Democrats Confident of Victory. ASHLAND, May 3L Mr. Chamberlain will carry Jackson County by fully 400 majority. The Democratic Legislative ticket is certain of a good majority. The remainder of the Democratic ticket will be elected. On a general Democratic prop osition, as to all candidates, this county will stand In this election about 300 Demo cratic M. F. EGGLESTON, Chairman Democratic Executive Commit tee. JOSEPIIIXE COUXTY. Republican State Ticket "Will Have 250 Plurality. GRANT'S PASS, May 31. The Repub licans will carry Josephine County on the state ticket by 250 votes. Judge Hale, for Representative, will be elected by 400 to 500. The rest of the Republican ticket will be elected by good majorities. The only office the Democrats are certain of Is Coroner, and they have no opposition. Furnish will carry the county by 250 to 200. W. H. HAMPTON, Chairman Republican County Central Committee. Democrats Count on 100 Majority. GRANT'S PASS, May ZL-Chamberlaln will run strong In Josephine County. His plurality will be over 300. Smith for Rep resentative will be elected by 200. Booth for County Judge, Lovelace for Commis sioner, and Kremer for Coroner are con ceded. Dean and Slover for Sheriff and Clerk, respectively, will go by at least 100: the other offices will "be close. Every thing points to Democratic gains, and the probable election of the entire county ticket. H. D. NORTON, Chairman Democratic County Central Committee. LAKE COUXTY. TV111 Go Republican hy 300 Bitter Flsrht for Senator. EUGENE. May 3L The joint political canvass between the Republican and Democratic candidates closed with a rous ing meeting in this city tonight. Pros pects for a general Republican victory were never better than at present. Tfie Democrats have made a bitter flght on two offices State Senator and Sheriff and have shown a disposition to trade votes on every other Issue for their can didates. L. M. Travis and W. W. With ers. Travis has made a very bitter flght against Dr. William Kuykendall, pres ent Incumbent of the office of Senator. Dr. Kuykendall has proved an able and efficient public servant, and it is general, ly believed that he will be re-elected. The Republican candidates for the lower House are sure of election. Two years ago L. T. Harris, candidate for Repre sentative, ran 500 votes ahead of his tick et, and his majority this time will be still greater. It ls said that Harris will be a candidate for Speaker of the House at the coming session of the Legislature. The fight for 8heriff promises to be an Interesting one, it being conceded by the Democrats that A. J. Johnson will give Withers a hard run. As far as the state ticket Is concerned. Lane County will go Republican, from 250 to 350 votes. Hon. W. J. Furnish will receive the nor mal Republican majority in the county. LINN COUNTY. Careful Canvass Indicates Republi can "Victory in the Main. ALBANY, May 3L There has been no change in the political situation In Linn County In the past week, further than the chances of M. A. Miller, the Demo cratic candidate for State Senator to de feat Senator Percy R. Kelly for re-election, have materially grown less. Re ports, which I deem reliable, from nearly every precinct In the county, aro very encouraging for a Republican victory. I have no doubt about electing a major por tion of the Republican ticket by a safe majority. Mr. Chamberlain's appearance In this county did not create any stam pede to him. "While he will carry the county, I do not believe his majority will greatly exceed 300 votes, and I would not be surprised If It was less than 300. N. M. NEWPORT, Chairman Linn County Republican Cen tral Committee. Democrats Equally as Confident. ALBANY, Or.. May ZL The Indications A all point to 700 majority for Chamberlain and order element of the city to defeat Inman and elect "Williams. Portland Is not yet ready to be Tammanylzed. But the full duty of the voter does not stop with the Mayoralty. It extends to the head of the ticket. One of the prin clpal beneficiaries of the deal, as he ls also one of its principal contracting parties, is George E. Chamberlain, who is thus employing the office of Public Prose cutor to raise blmrelf to Governor. The words of warning recently addressed by the New York Journal to District At torney Jerome, of New York, are fitting here "No man ever raised himself to the Governorship by the back door of the Baloon." It becomes the duty of the Intel ligent and conscientious voter to set the seal of his disapproval upon this miscon duct of the District Attorney. He has gone loo far,. He should be taught In un mistakable terms that 'there are things "which even in good-fellowship cannot bo forgiven. A good, clean man, with no entangling alliances with vice and crime In any form is offered the suffrages of the people by the Republican party for the office of Mayor and also for the office of Governor. The ballot Is a solemn thing, and Its ex ercise should be solemnly discharged. Alone with his conscience In the election booth, every self-resDectlns: man should mark his ballot for George H. TVllllams and William J. Furnish. In Linn County. The Democratic Coun ty ticket will be elected. E. J. SEELEY. Chairman Democratic Central Commit tee of Linn County. MARION COUXTY. A Cnrefei Canvass Shoiri nn In crease In the Republican Vote, . SALEM. May 31. A thorough canvass has been made of the county, and the poll ehows that thero will be a large increase In the Republican vote. The en tire county and legislative ticket will be elected. There will b some scratching on "W. J. Furnish, but he will carry the county by a good majority. "W. H. Hob son, for Joint Senator from Marion and Linn Counties, will receive a good vote in this county, where he Is well known and universally respected. The person al fight that has been carried on against E. M. Croisan. candidate for State Sen ator, haa disgusted the people, and Mr. Croisan will probably run ahead of his ticket. Numerous false stories have been circulated about J. F. Stelwer, candidate for Sheriff, all of which were promptly exploded. The quiet and gentlemanly man ner in which he has conducted his can vass and his well-known ability and standing as a citizen will cause hlfl vote' to be large. TV. J. CULVER, Chairman Republican County Cen. Com. Democrats Make Biff Claims. SALEM. May 31. At the opening of the campaign and subsequent to a partial canvass of the county, by Mr. Chamber lain, I was satisfied that our candidate for Governor would carry Marlon Coun ty by possibly 500 votes, but I am now confident that Mr. Chamberlain will car ry the county by 500 majority or more. I base thlfl estimate on the expressions I have received from prominent Republicans throughout the county, and the marked Indifference that ls evinced by many Republicans. General conditions are fa vorable for the election of the whole Dem ocratic county ticket and a part of our legislative ticket TV. H. DOWNING, Chairman Democratic County Cen. Com. MORROW COUXTY, Republicans "Will Have Majorities of 100 to 250. HEPPNER, May 31. My estimate on the majorities on state. Congressional and. Legislative tickets are as follows: Furnish will carry Morrow County by 100: William son by 250; Scrlber for joint Senator, 140; Phelps, Representative, 175. W. M. SMEAD, Chairman Republican County Central Committee. Expect to Cut Republican Majority. HEPPNER, May 3L There can be but one result so far as the vote for Gover nor ls concerned In Morrow Counyr, al though there Is about 300 majority in. fa vor of the Republican party. Mr. Cham berlain will carry it by at least 100. J. W. MORROW, Chairman Dem. Cent. Com. POLK COUXTY. Result TVHI Be Close With Odds In Favor of Republicans. INDEPENDENCE, May 3L Polk Coun ty, in the past, has been swinging In the balance, politically, sometimes going Re publican, but usually electing a mixed ticket. This year will be no exception to the rule. I deem the county very close, but am of the opinion that Furnish will carry It by a small majority. W. TV. PERCrVAL, Chairman Republican County Central Committee. Democrats Claim County hy 100. " DALLAS, May ZL Under ordinary con dltions. Polk County Is Republican by at least 150. The majority of voters are dis posed, however. In electing state and county officers, to consider the qualifica tions of candidates, rather than party ties. Chamberlain will carry the county by more than 100, and It ls not improbable that all the Democratic nominees on the state ticket will receive somo majority. The probabilities are strong, too, that nearly all the Democratic county nom inees will be elected. The flght Is cen tered on the candidates for Sheriff. Clerk -and Representatives, On these the result Is In. doubt OSCAR HAYTER, Secretary Democratic County Central Committee. SHERMAN' COUNTY. State Republican Ticket "Will Come Out With 100 aiajority. "MORO. May 3L Judging by a close can vass, I believe Sherman County will give at least 100 majority for the Republican ticket, and as there Is not the least dis satisfaction In the party, as far as the state ticket Is concerned, I believe Mr. Furnish will get as many votes as any one on the state ticket. If he does not get as many votes as some others on the ticket it will not be because any Repub licans have not voted for him, bufit will be that some Democrats have voted for the others on the Republican ticket. W. H. MOORE. Chairman Republican County Central Committee. Mr. Barnett, ot Wasco. Democratic committeeman, says politics ls very quiet, and he does not know of anything that will make any radical change. He believes Furnish will carry the county by 40 to 65, and Williamson will carry the party vote of 100 to 125. TILLAMOOK: COUXTY. Republican State Ticket Will Have About 300 Majority. TILLAMOOK, May 31. After making a poll of the county I believe Furnish and the state ticket will carry the county by a majority of 270 to 323, while the county ticket will carry by a majority of about 200. A. W. SEVERANCE, Chairman Republican County Central Committee. Sam. Downs, chairman of the Democratic County Central Committee, was seen by an Oregonian representative and fcad no figures to give out. UMATILLA COUNTY. Home Section of FHrnisa Will Give Hlsa 500 to 800 Plurality. jPENDLETON, May 3LUmatllla Coun ty will give Furnish 00 to 800 plurality for Governor, the remainder of state ticket about G00 Republican plurality. The Republican candidates for the Legislature will have safe pluralities. The entire Re publican county ticket will be elected. "Williamson, for Congress, will lead Butch er by 600 votes. F. L. CURL. . Chairman Republican County Central Committee. A. D. Stlllman, chairman of the Demo cratic County Central Committee, waa seen by an Oregonian representative, but said he did not care to discuss the situa tion. - T "WAS CO COUXTY. Republican TiclcetWIll Be Given a. Majority of 250. . THE DALLES, Or., May 31. The Re publican campaign, in Wasco County Is in better shape than there was any rea son to expect It would be previously. It has been very gtlfying to the county central committee to note the united ac tion taken by the Republicans through out the county. A very conservative es timate Is that Wasco County will go Republican by 250 majority, of which Mr. Furnish will be given the full vote. The whole legislative ticket will rece.ve the Republican majority In this county. It ls also expected that the entire county ticket will be elected by majorities ex ceeding those mentioned. . HENRY L. KUC'K, Chairman Republican County Cen. Com. Democrats Very Hopeful. THE DALLES. Or., May 3L The en tire campaign In Wasco County has been one continued success for the Democratic party, whose gains have surprised the most sanguine. Gratifying results of Democratic workers throughout the vari ous precincts have been evident, espec ially since Mr. Chamberlain's visit to the county. In. my opinion, he will carry Wasco by 000 votes. The speech of Hon. Charles Fulton, delivered here last Wed nesday evening, has1 turned against Furnish in the town and its Immediate vicinity. The prospect looks bright for electing the majority of the county ticket. F. A. SEUFERT. Chairman. WASIIIXGTOX COUXTY. Outlook Favorable for the Entire Republican Ticket. HILLSBORO, May ZL The situation In this county Is complicated by reason of there being so many tickets In the field. Local matters will cut considerable fig ure In some parts of the county. The Prohibitionists claim that they will poll a much larger vote than usual. The op position Is making a hard fight on the Governorship and part of the county ticket, but it is not expected that Fin nish's vote will be very greatly affected. There will probably be some scratching both ways on the county ticket. Taking all things into consideration, the out look is favorable for the election of the entire Republican ticket by good majori ties. BENTON BOWMAN, Chairman Republican County Cen. Com. Democrats Much Encouraged. HILLSBORO, Or., May 31. The outlook for Mr Chamberlain, in Washington County, is all that could be desired, and we expect to carry the county for him bv 150 majority. Scores of Republicans who never beforo have scratched their ticket openly announce that they will not support Mr. Furnish, and are work ing for Chamberlain. We expect to elect the Union county and legislative -ticket with majorities from 50 to 400. JAMES H. SEWELL. Chairman Union County Committee. "WHEELER. COUXTY. Republican Candidates Will Have About 175 Votes to Sparc. FOSSIL, May 3L Wheeler County will give the entire Republican ticket safe ma jorities. The Republican state ticket will have In the neighborhood of 175 majority. On Governor the majority may fall short 25 votes, as the Democrats' whole flght Is being waged on Furnish. Williamson will have at least 200 majority. The Leg islative ticket will run up with the state ticket, and may run ahead of It. If Fur nish does run a few votes behind the ticket In this county It will be because Republicans, generally thinking his elec tion safe, have not been eo aggressive as they would have been under other condi tions, while the Democrats, feeling they had a chance to elect Chamberlain, have done their level best to do so from the start. "W. W. STEIWER, Chairman Republican County Central Committee. Democrats Concede County Lost. FOSSIL, Or.. May 31. I think there will be little change In the vote for state of ficers since two years ago, when the Re publicans had about 175 Majority, except ing that George E. Chamberlain" will run ahead of his ticket in this county from 75 to 100 votes. In my judgment. On the other hand, Butcher may run behind .his ticket, as Williamson Is well known In 'the part of Wheeler County, which was taken from Crook County, Mr. Wlllamson's home. CHARLES G. MILLET, Chairman Democratic County Central Committee. YAMHILL COUNTY. Republicans "Will Give Their Nom inees 200 Majority. M'MINNVILLE. Or.. May 3L After a very careful canvass of every precinct In Yamhill County, thre Is no reason able doubt as to Furnish receiving a ma jority over Chamberlain of 150 to 200 votes, and that our legislative ticket and coun ty ticket will be elected from top to bot tom. As the canvasa progresses the Re publicans are rapidly falling Into line, and If every county In the state stands by the head of the ticket as Yamhftl Coun ty will. W. J. Furnish will be elected by 12,000 majority. W. T. VINTON, Chairman Republican Central Com. The chairman of the Democratic Cen tral Committee, when seen by an Oregon Ian representative, said he had no report to publish; In fact, had no formulated views as to the result of the election.

Yonkers Statesman. AFTER MANY YEARS Of suffering from kdney disease, Miss Minnie Ryan, of St, Louis, Mo., found a complete cure result from the use of Dr. Piercers Golden -Medical Discovery. jx is such cures as this which es tablish the sound ness of Dr. Pierce's theory: "Diseases which originate in the stomach must be cured through the stomach." Every olher organ depends on the stomach for its vitality and vigor. For by the stom ach and its asso ciated organs of digestion and nu trition the food which is eaten is converted into nu triment, which, in the form of blood, is the sustaining power of the body ana eacn organ ot it. When the stomach is dis eased the food sup ply of the body 13 cut' down, the or gans are starved, and the weakness of starvation shows itself in lungs, heart, liver, kidneys or some other organ. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, and so cures disease of other organs which have originated through deficient nutri tion or impure blood. "I had been suffering with kidney trouble twenty years," writes Miss Minnie Ryan, of 1537 Louisiana Avenue, St. Louis, Mo., "and I had doctored with a number of the best physi cians. Two vears ago I commenced taking your 'Golden Medical Discovery ' and 'Favorite Pre scription ' and took also several vials of Doctor Pierce's Pellets.
