r HERMANN HT WIN Opposition in First District is Badly Split Up. NINE. MEN ARE IN THE RACE 6. B. Huston a Washington County Lawyer, and B. F. Mulkey, President of Ashland Nor mal, Latest Aspirants. SALEM, Or., July 22. (Special.) S. B. Huston, of Washington County, and B, F. Mulkey. of Jackson, are getting Into the race lor the Republican nomination for Consress In the First District- While neither has made formal public announce ment of his aspiration, .both have been consulting with friends by letter or In person with a view to securing good lnl lUl SUDDOrt. Huston Is an attorney at HUlsboro; Mulkey, president and professor of his tory and economics at the Ashiana state formal. Until the last two years Mul key's residence has been In Polk County and should he ever break his connection with the Ashland Normal, ho would prob ably1 return to that county to make his Jiome. It Is In Polk that his greatest strength will be centered. Eight men now have under considera tion the question whether they shall go before the 'Republicans of this district In the direct primaries for the nomination for Hermann's seaf. They are Walter L. Tooze. of Marlon; W. C. Hawley, of Marlon; C B. Moores. of Marlon; G. W. Wright, of Linn; W. J. Vawtcr, of Jack son, and S. B. Huston, of Washington. The Congressional contest has begun de veloping thus early because one candidate came early into the field and has been working hard for support. 'Walter L. Tooze, of Woodburn, was the first to make his candidacy known and for two months he has been presenting his claims "before prominent 'political workers In this district. He lias been letting his friends -know that he wants the nomination and has been getting many promises of sup port. The activity of Mr. Tooze made It necessary for other aspirants to begin work early, lest they should find when they entered the race later that their friends have promised aid to the candi date from Woodburn. Tooze has been working quietly, but earnestly and stren uously. In order to get his forces well In hand before the other candidates become active. His Salem friends say his early work will slrtiw results on the day of the primary election. Probably not all of the other aspirants named will finally per mit their names to go upon the ballot in the direct primaries. Several are merely talking the matter over with their friends, listening to the advice offered, and will make up their minds later whether the outlook for them is favorable enough to . warrant their filing nominating petitions. It will require the signatures of 4S0 legal voters of this district to place a man's name on the Republican primary ballot as a candidate for the nomination for Congress. Ordinarily the number of sig natures required pn a petition Is comput ed upon -the vote Xor Supremo Judge, but the direct primary law requires that the number of signatures to petitions for nominations before the primaries shall be computed upon the basis of the party vote for Beprescntatlve In Congress. The vote cast for" Blnger Hermann at the last election was 23,970. The law pro vides that the number of signers shall be 2 per cent of the party vote, but for state and Congressional nominations shall not exceed 1000. Two per cent of 23,970 Is 480. In the Second Congressional District the vote for Williamson was 27.U6, making 513 signatures necessary to secure a place on the primary ballot In that district. The law also provides that the signatures on a Congressional nominating petition must include electors residing in at least one-tenth of the precincts in each of at least one-fourth of tho counties In the district While it will be an easy matter to secure 480 signatures to a petition. It will require some attention to see that the proper number of precincts are rep resented. For a state office the petition must con tain 1000 signatures. Including names of residents of at least one-tenth of the precincts In at least seven counties of the state. There are S3 counties In the state. 17 in the First District and 16 In the Second. The factslhat there ore so many as pirants for tho Congressional nomination in the First District hasfled a number of prominent Republicans to declare that Binger Hermann can secure renoralnatlon In the direct primary unless he should be tried and convicted by the Federal Courts before the next primaries are held. This assertion Is made by men who are op posed to the nomination of Hermann. They figure tho situation this way: Hermann has many warm personal friends who refuse to beUeve him guilty until they see proof beyond question. They will show their confidence In him by voting for him every time they get a chance ,Even If it be admitted that Her mann cannot get a majority of the Re publican Votes In the district nor nvn one-third of them, his nomination would still be possible if there were five, or six candidates in the field. The friends of Hermann would 6tand by him solidly; hi opponents would be divided among four or five other candidates and Hermann would receive more votes than any other one man. In the Congressional Convention at Eu gene, when Hermann first asked for a nomination after.hls resignation from the General Land Office he was the minority candidate, but the opposition was divided and could not unite. It Is now asserted that unless all but one or two men get out ofthe race. Hermann can probably be renominated, and 'that If there are four or five candidates against him his nomi nation will be almost certain if he seeks It. GREFFOZ OVER $2000 SHORT Attachment Brought Against Late Police Judge's Business. CORVALLIS, Or.. July 22. (Special.) Attachments are being: run against the Jewelry' stock of E. P. GrerToz, late Police Judge, whose whereabouts since his departure from this town June 27 nas not been Known to any of his rela lives or menus, or zrienus. The amount of ht shortage with the city has, been ascer- i talned to be $2049.61, covering a period of three or four years. It consisted In the appropriation to his own use of as fces6ments paid to him for lateral sewers ordered constructed by the City Council. It Is known now that for years he xvas in close financial straits, and be lief is popular that Greffoz necessities drove him to the use of some of these funds as they passed through his hands. He served the" city as Police Judge, and most of the time was re elected without opposition. Connected "with the affair is the probability that his bondsmen may not be -liable for the shortage. The moneys reffoz re ceived should have been paid to the City Treasurer., instead of to the Police Judge. It U said that in accepting the assessments, Greffoz was not acting within his duty and that his bondsmen are only liable for remissness, if ABy XhVb: la the 'discharge ot his xrAcUi and oly his of allal duty. IWhB. he .went away, Oreffoc left a man In charge of his Jewelry establish ment, with Instructions to remain there until the following Sunday and then close It up. The Instructions were fol lowed, and the place has since been without a manager and Mr. Greffos without an agent- There are claims against the business by wholesale Jew elry houses aggregating 5500 or more, and personal liabilities supposed to be of a considerably greater aggregate. It Is supposed that the attachments -will force the business Into bankruptcy. The first intimation of the shortage was contained In a letter from Greffoz himself- It was "written In Corvallis the day he left, which was June 27. It was addressed to Senator Avery, and after confessing to the shortage It re quested Senator Avery to use his In fluence "for the sake of my wife and children," to prevent a prosecution until there can be a settlement of the accounts of the city by relatives. The letter was ported on the Albany-Detroit train July 5, eight days after It was written, and the same number of days after Mr. Greffoz left Corvallis. Moscly Ie Made hcrlff. BOISE. Idaho, July 22. (SpeclaL) Da vid H. Mosely was today appointed Sher iff of Ada County, to succeed Cary C Havlrd, who resigned at the demand of the Board of Commissioners. Mr. Mose ly served a term as Sheriff some years ago and mads a fine record. Havlrd turned over $266 to the county in settle ment of the fees held out by him during his Incumbency. ELECTRIC flOM PUIS WELL GREAT FACTOR IX UPBUILDING OF GRAY'S HARBOR COUNTRY. Eastern Capital Induced to Take Up Project Through Efforts ot E. C. Finch. ABERDEEN, Wash.,' July- 22. (Spe claL) Tho cities of Aberdeen and Ho quiam have been connected with an electric road for nearly two years, and the steel Is to be laid from Aberdeen to Cosmopolls, the work on which Is soon to be started, thus connecting the three towns, and before the close of the present year It is expected that the line will be extended to Montesano, the county scat, and eventually so far as Olympla,' which will give an electric line connection clear through to Ta coma and Seattle. The road in due to the efforts of E. C Finch, a former Gray's Harbor newspaper man. who has plnce been in strumental in introducing oyster seed In the Gray's Harbor country, and who expects to develop oyster culture as extensively as at other points on the Pacific Coast. Through Mr. Finch's ef forts Pennsylvania capital was brought here, and the Investments of the men Interested in the electric road and the lighting system amount to more than $500,000. The company owns four miles of track between here and Hoquiam, built on the very highest scientific principle and this will be increased by threo miles of track to Cosmopolls. It is the intention also to push the road west from Hoquiam to the ocean. about 12 miles distant. The road has been a great surprise as an Investment. Traffic between Ab erdeen and Hoquiam prior to the build' lng of the road was by stage and other vehicles, and the patronage did not seem to warrant the immense cost of the road, but the business has been so good that, from an hour's service, and then to a half-hour, cars are now run on a lS-minute schedule, and from one car, the company has been obliged to Increase the rolling stock to ten cars. The road, has also, been a great factor in exienumg Aberdeen west and Ho quiam east, and the predlctipn made by old residents that some day the cities would be one seems likely to be verified in a very few years. Before the company finished its road it purchased the - electric light plants in Aberdeen and Hoquiam at a pretty sua ngure. ana has enlarged them and added a Treat deal of the finest machinery in the- country. The equip ment of all the properties of the com pany has been of the best, and the business has warranted all the outlay ana the extensions which are going on. After the resignation of E. C. Finch as manager, a year or so ago, the com pany appointed J. TV. Crary, a young and energetic lawyer, who oame here from Warren. Pa. Mr. Crary, on ac count of his personality, has greatly popularized the road and brought it to an almost perfect system, o that the business men of Gray's Harbor declare It to be one of the fairest corporations with which they have ever had to deal. Mr- Crary was instrumental In getting the company to lay out a park between the two cities which includes one of the best ball grounds in the country and a splendid dancing pavilion. A Portland landscape artist has been em ployed to plan out the grounds and a zoo has also been started. It is also Planned to Introduce a swimming' pooL snooi-tne-cbutes and other nnvl features. The patronage of the park, the road and all other schemes ot the rompany warrant them in goinr ahead. Jerry Crary. of "Warren. Pa, an uncl&J oi xanager urary, ana George F. Stone, of Seattle, are the principal cap italists back of the enterprise, which has done a great deal to build up Gray's Harbor, and will do a great deal more in the future.

PARADISE VALLEY; Wash., via Long mi re Springs, July 22. The four great mountain-climbing clubs encamped in Paradise Valley are so well satisfied with their paradise that they have so desire to hear of another. Ideal weather has marked the entire week.
