(Special.) TJp to date 16S0 voters have registered and CANNOT -DISCOVER ANYTHING If King Delegation Brought Back Fos ter's Scalp, ' Nobody In the Sound Town Has Seen It-Committee Keeps Out of Sight. weaTTLE, "Wash., 3Iay 14- (Special.) Seattle politicians cannot understand the Republican State Convention yet, and the business men who saw the delegation of 115 leave for Tacoma are hopelessly lost !y the story of the convention. The dele gates, since their return, have had an anpleasant time of It, for there Is not a politician orbuslness man interested tn the Senatorial fight -who has not either yiticlsed the delegation's action or begged for particulars. For several weeks the insistence of the Piles committee that the Senatorial can didate should have the delegation to the state convention for trading purposes had been repeated to the politicians and busi ness men in Seattle. No one was par ticularly anxious to deny Piles that privi lege, and the repetition of the demand led many to believe that It was the only way that Piles could ever get started in the fight. Among the smaller political workers and business men an exaggerated idea of the importance of the delegation grew until the impression prevailed that prac tically all there was to the Senatorial Hght would be to send 115 men to " the state convention pledged to Piles. In some manner, no one ever attempted to explain how, it was believed this dele gation would gather in the Senatorial seat that Foster oc.cuples and bring it back with them. The majority of the people of Seattle expected Piles' election to be made certain by the state conven tion. They were not entirely to blame, as has been indicated, for so much stress was laid upon the importance of a Piles delegation that the public In general ac cepted the view that a Senatorial cam paign consisted of one delegation to the state convention. And when the delegates were turned over to Piles the average King County man thought he had elected a Senator. The Seattle politicians and business men do not know j et whether Piles added any to his strength by his Tacoma fight Naturally the men closest to Piles will not divulge the nature of any pledge that was received, if one was obtained. And because nothing shows on the sur face the town Is divided between those who are indignant and those who are keenly disappointed. The delegates are being met with re peated demands for particulars and wise men that they are, the delegates are responding to every Inquiry with the declaration: "I do not know. Ask some member of the steering committee. We did Just as we were told." There Is a remarkable agreement In the stories told by the delegates to the people who Inquire. They were hope lessly in the dark while negotiations were being mado and the smaller poli ticians and business men cannot under stand it That an entire delegation should be without full particulars has created a degree of amazement that the town cannot get over easily. The busi ness men who had solemnly signed the Piles petitions and indorsed the Piles boom wanted results proclaimed from the roof tops, and because they are not they are growing sarcastic The members of the Piles steering com mittee have kept persistently out of sight. "Whether anything was accomplished or not these men do not want to talk about It and they have adopted the safer policy of dodging inquisitive persons. And so tho spectacle of an entire town starving for news and unable to get a crumb of Inside information Is presented. M'CROSKEY YIELDS TO TURNER Garfield Man Says He Should Lead the Democratic Ticket. GARFIELD. Wash., May 14. (Special.) Senator R. C McCrokey, of Garfield, who Is being urged to announce himself a can didate for Governor by the Democrats and McBride Republicans of Eastern Washing ton, la an interview today said: "I desire to state that I have never positively said I would be a candidate for Goernor. Every man should In the pres ent monopoly-ridden condition of the state, lay aside personal ambition and favor that candidate who is best fitted and most available. I expect to see the same corrupt Influences that dominated the Republican Convention stalk into the Democratic ranks and endeavor to get in their deadly work. If we resist those In fluences and present to the voters of the state a candidate of unquestioned ability and loyalty to the commission cause there is no doubt in my mind but that the people will triumph. "We have such a man and one upon whom all can agree without disparage ment to the other eminent gentlemen of the state whose names have been men tioned in connection with the high office of Governor. I desire to say that I am In favor of George Turner, of Spokane. He comes nearer being the exponent of the commission cause than any other man in the state and his masterful presentation of the monopoly-ridden condition of the Republican party and the commonwealth would set tho oters afire and cause re form to sweep over the state like a whirl wind." Tolman Declares Candidacy. SPOKA'NE. May 14. (Special.) "I am a candidate for Governor," said State Sen ator Warren W. Tolman today. "That Is about all there Is to say. I stand on my record In the Legislature and at home. I shall endeavor to secure the nomination from the Democratic State Convention." Tolman is closing his four-year term as a member of the upper house of the State Legislature, where he "was the leader of the minority in the last session. He Intro duced the railroad commission bill In the Legislature of 190L which provided for a commission to be appointed by the Gov ernor. Later Tolman went down the line fighting for the Preston commission bill wherein tho appointive power was to be vested In three state ofHcers. Felicitation of Candidate Mead.

After a three-days chase through the mountains, part of the trip being made on foot over almost impassable roads, Sheriff Huston "Wednesday night succeed ed In capturing Norman Scott, a deserter from the United States Army, at tho Mountain House, a stopping place at the foot of Seven-Mile Mountain, In the heart of the Cascade Range of mountains, 60 miles east of Albany. Scott Is now lodged in the County Jail at Albany and will bo taken to Vancouver by Sheriff "Worth Huston tomorrow. Scott was enlisted in Company B, Nineteenth United States Infantry, sta tioned at "Vancouver, "Wash., from which place he deserted last February. The story of his desertion Is one of the most daring on record. He was In the guard house wearing heavy double legirons, and was chained to the floor. One Sun day morning a fellow soldier furnished Scott with a saw with which he succeed ed In severing the chain. He then punched a hole through the roof of the guardhouse, and, weighted down as he was with heavy legirons, succeeded in drawing himself through the roof. He then took tho desperate leap of 18 feet to the ground. The weight of the irons carried Scott down so rapidly that he suffered injuries from which he has not yet recovered. His escape was soon discovered and a cavalry patrol sent In pursuit at one time tho pursuera were within 50 feet of the pursued, who was secreted in the woods along the Columbia River. Scott finally reached friends who removed the irons from his legs. He then made his way to Dayton, Wash., where he spent some time, coming thence to Albany. Here he worked for a week In the ware house of Umphrey & Devaney. But the fear of capture was too much for Scott and he began the trip to East ern Oregon, something that is considered almost impossible at this time of the year when the mountain streams are tor rents and the snow 13 deep. When found at the Mountain House Scott was un armed and offered no resistance. He Is about 25 years of age and six feet tall. The report from Vancouver was that Scott was one of their most desperate men. PARROT'S PATHETIC DEATH. Shot by Lighthouse-Keeper, Who Mistook for Predatory Fowl. VICTORIA. B. C, May 14. (Special.) Race Rocks Lighthouse, which stands out in the middle of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, about ten miles from Victoria, was the scene, the other day, of a very pa thetic little Incident Around the light house there' is Just enough ground to per mit of the keeper rearing a few hens, but one of the most, serious drawbacks to poultry-keeplngthere Is the continual incursion of large and very fierce owls, which fly across from the forests of the Olympian Mountains on the Washington side, and prey upon the chickens. The keeper defends his flock with a shotgun, and has brought down not a few of the predatory fowl, which are sent to Victoria to be mounted. One day recently the lighthouse-keeper's wife ran Into the house and told her husband that a big owl was circling over the poultry yard, evidently bent upon an attack. The keeper snatched up his fowling-piece, ran outside, caught sight of the owl and fired. The bird dropped, a huddle of feathers, amongst the kelpstrewn rocks some distance off, and the keeper walked over to recover his quarry. As he neared the spot he heard a voice say with singular clearness: "Pretty Polly, what's o'clock?" "Poor Polly, let s have some tea." It was a beautiful South American par rot and as the blood flowed out over the gaudy plumage, and the glasslness of swiftly-approaching death came over Its eyes. It prattled its little pieces. Inter spersing the speeches with a perfect Im itation ot a little child laughing heartily. The keeper took up the wounded bird tenderly and tried to stop the bleeding, but his aim had been too true. In the midst of a peal of shrill childish laughter the parrot died In his hands, while he felt he says, like one who had taken his brother's life. The unfortunate parrot had escaped from one of the passing steamships, and had apparently sought an asylum for tho night at the lighthouse. The lighthouse keeper says that he. would not have shot the poor bird for any consideration had he but observed what it was before he pulled the trigger.

Vancou ver harbor is to be fortified, upon the rec ommendation of Lord Dundonald, gen eral officer commanding the Canadian militia, who Inspected this port a few months ago and was struck with its 'lack of protection In case of war.

FIRST. CLIPS' ARE SOLD SCOURING MILL WORKING NIGHT AND DAY ON PRODUCT. Better Wools Are- Grown In the In terior, and Sales Take Place Later. THE DALLES, May It (Special.) The scouring mill In this city Is now running a double crew of sorters daily, and the mill night and day, turning out 8000 pounds of scoured product every 21 hours. The wool purchases made thus far have been from stations along the 'line of the Northern Pacific In Yakima County, and at Columbia River points, such as The Dalles, Arlington and Echo, where the sealed bid plan that was inaugurated in the state three ears ago does not ob tain. The first clips shorn are nearly all from the warm Columbia River ranges, which wools are more or less earthy and are sought only by dealers In the scoured product The wools bought up to the present time have been by representatives of tho fol lowing firms: H. C. Judd & Root Hart ford, Conn.; S. Koshland & Co.. and C. S. Moses Co., San Francisco, Cal.; and Luce & Manning, Boston, Mass. The prices paid for this class of wool varies according to the sand they carry. Some very shrinky clips have been bought for 10 cents at the railroad station, while others in the scouring class, lighter In shrinkage, brought 13 cents. These prices are fully up to those paid last year for similar wools. There seems to be no disposition on the part of the growers to hold this class of wool, and buyers are apparently glad to take them, .as they are being ab sorbed by the dealers as fast as they are offered. The choice Eastern Oregon wools sought for shipping in the grease, which are grown back in the interior, are now being shown. This class that In former years was .marketed at The Dalles, and gave this city the distinction of receiv ing and shipping more wool direct from tho. growers than any other place In the United States, has, since the com pletion of the Columbia Southern Rail way been transferred to Shanlko. There the wools are all offered under the sealed bid system. The first sale there is set for June 2, the second for June 14, and the third and last for July 1. Pendleton leads off with the first sealed bid sale of the season on the 23d Instant and Heppner follows on the 26th. with. Its first sale. The other two points In the state where wools will be offered upon sealed bids are Baker City on June 17, and Elgin on June 2S. A large attendance of buyers at all of these sales Is confidently expected as the Eastern Oregon wools are said to be In exceptionally good condition this season. The mild "Winter and the abundance of grass on the Spring ranges insure a larger proportion of the choice staple wools than (usual. Such buyers as have expressed their views on the market, represent that the margin of profit on last year's purchases was too small to warrant their paying as much this season unless the condition of the wool proves to be materially better. LOOKING FOR JONES. Hallucination That Sends Sheep herder to the Asylum. BAKER CTTT, Or., May 14. (Specials Clinton Still, a sheepherder from Unity, was adjudged insane and sentenced to Salem by Judge Travilllon yesterday. Still was In the employ of Mr. Brass field, a prominent sheepowner of Unity. Several days ago he showed signs of in sanity, but did not appear to be dan gerous. "Wednesday he became violent and Sheriff Brown placed him in the County Jail yesterday. When examined Still talked as rational as any man on most subjects. He had a good memory and could tell where he has been for I several years back. His hallucination is that a man by the name of Jones, whom he says is the County Clerk of Morrow County, has him. "hypnotized. Jones is constantly per secuting him. Still never saw Jones, but people have told him how Jones looked, and he could describe him. He says Jones can read his mind and can con trol him. Jones tries to make him say that he has committed various crimes, from murder down. Jones pestered him so that he deter mined to get rid of his tormentor by killing him on sight Jones, so Still In sists, keeps out of sight yet he stays in his vicinity all the time. He told the doctor that he had made up hi3 mind to shoot any strange man who approached him on foot, for fear he might be Jones. No one 'dared to approach the sheep camp unless he rode a horse that Still knew, lest he might be mistaken for Jones. Sheriff Brown rode up on a horse that Still knew, and found him on the look out, gun In hand, for Jones. He was willing to come with the Sheriii, but In sisted on taking his Winchester along for fear he might meet Jones. Still has relatives living in "Western Oregon whom he has not seen for years. He was taken to Salem last night BROWN MAY GET BAIL. Turnbow Is Recovering, and Will Ap pear at Trial. COLFAX, Wash., May 14. (Special.) J. E. Brown, who shot T. J. Turnbow, a rival real estate agent of Garfield, Au gust 9, 1903, and has been In tho County Jail awaiting trial since that date, will probably be released on bonds within a few dnys. Brown was held in ?10,000 bonds by the Justice of the Peace before whom the preliminary hearing was held, and, being unable tot give bonds in that sum, was committed to jail, whero he has been for more than nine months. Today he made application to the Su perior Court to have the bonds reduced to $2000, and Judge Chadwlck ordered tho sum reduced to $3500, which his friends say will be given as soon as the bonds men can qualify. Hiram Gragg, Brown's brother-in-law, with others, have prom ised to sign the bonds and qualify in the required amount Brown shot Turnbow in the shoulder, the bullet penetrating the spinal column, causing complete paralysis below the shoulders. Turnbow has been confined to "his bed since that time, and Is wholly paralyzed, but lias always been in good spirits and Insisted that he will recover, even when the physicians declared he could live but a few days. He is now stronger and brighter than at any time since he was shot and will appear at the trial to testify against Brown. The trial of Brown, who was originally charged with assault with Intent to com mit murder, has been set several times, but postponed each time under the belief that Turnbow would soon die, when an other trial on a charge of murder would be necessary, should his death occur within one year from the day he was shot Judge Chadwlck will call Brown s case Monday and fix the date for trial.

MASKED MEN HOLD UP SALOON Hllgard Man Is Slightly Wounded by Nervous Thieves. HILGAR-, Or., May 14. (Special.) About 10:30 last night two masked men walked. Into the saloon of Nels Holverson, at Hllgard, with pistols In their hands and fired one shot into a crowd of seven or eight men, hitting John Thompson just below cne ear and cutting a gash about half an Inch along the side of his neck, at the same time ordering hands up and demanding the money In the till from Holverson.

The gamblers have received very definite tips as to the amount of fines that will be assessed and how they will be collected. For instance, a bouse like the Warwick, which oper ates a big- outfit is assessed $300 a month. At stated times every month "John McQuIck" or some other John will be brought to the police station and a trumped-up charge made against him. Rather than stay In a cell all night, he will put up $300 cash ball, which will be declared forfeited the next day in the Police Court The other big houses will put up similar amounts In the same way, and the small houses will pay in proportion. McQuIck was arrested Thursday and forfeited his bail yesterday. The sys tem of having the gamblers put up ball which is to be forfeited has been agreed upon, as it offers better protec tion to them than the plan of fining them in the Police Court If they were brought into court to be fined, a curious or over-conscientious Judge might in quire too closely into the case and end by binding the offender over to the Su perior Court on the charge of violating the state gambling laws. ORDERED OFF THE RESERVES Settlers Not Permitted to Remain by Forest Supervisor. TACQMA, Wash., May 14. (Special.) D. B. Sheller, United States Forest Superintendent has instructed the Forest Supervisors in charge of the Olympic, Rainier and Washington for est reserves to give notice to all set tlers who have gone upon the forest reserves and claimed lands that they must vacate them, as the law which was recommended by Mr. Sheller and approved by the department failed to pass before the close of the session of Congress. The law will be passed at the next session, but meantime those who went upon lands and are now making claims as squatters are in an uncertain posi tion. By the rules and regulations for the government of forest reserves the of ficers can only treat the settlers a3 trespassers and order them removed. The matter is creatine a good deal of speculation, as a large number of homesteaders have gone upon the val ley lands in the reserves under the re port that the law had passed.
