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.

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.

the strike. They decided to restore the
wages which prevailed in 1503, which
