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.

CAPTURE OF A DESERTER.
Linn County Sheriff's Hard Trip In
Heart of Cascades.
ALBANY. Or.. May 14. (Special.)
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.
FORTIFICATION OF VANCOUVER
Recommendations of Lord Dundonald
to Be Carried Out.
VANCOUVER, B. C May 14. 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. The neces
sary guns have been ordered In England
and will be delivered in Vancouver this
Summer.
According to Lord Dundonald's recom
mendations the plans and fortifications
will be located on Point Grey and Point
Atkinson, two prominent and' opposite
points of land, which command the en
trance to Vancouver harbor and which
will cover a wide range of .water. Lord
Dundonald says that In the event of a
war In India, Vancouver would be an Im

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.

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

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

ball which is to be forfeited has been
agreed upon, as it offers better protec

them in the Police Court If they were
brought into court to be fined, a curious

by binding the offender over to the Su

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.
