10 TUB SUNDAY OKEGOMAX. PORTLAM). 1EBKUAKV 2. 1908. SHALL OUR BOURN BE THE DICTATOR? Oregon Junior Senator's Rela tions With the Dele gation. WORKING TO BEAT FULTON ( All Lovely for Aw hile at Washington, j - but the Split Came In a War Over Federal Patronage Schuebel Appointment. OltKUONIAN NEWS BURU3AU, Wash ington, . Jan. 26. To dominate and control the Oregon delegation in Congivs is the height of Senator Bourne's anfcition; to become dictator is his chief h opt! and aim. That he cannot dominate the prasent del egation has been demonstrated; fhereforo the delegation must be altered Uj permit of the accomplishment of his purpose. Zt is a bold undertaking, but it is 'the only course -which. Bourne can pursue if he hopes to gratify his ambition. This is the course he has decided upon. Senator Bourne had hoped to be .able to dominate his present colleagues or a ma jority of them, so that he might imme diately become the central and all-powerful figure in the delegation, and he man euvered adroitly to gain this advantage. He discovered, however, that his- col leagues were capable of effectively check mating . him, though he g-ained several points before they awoke to a realization of what the Junior Senator was doing. Senator Bourne, now that his hand lias been laid bare, realizes that the only way he ' can become the controlling factor In Hie delegation is by becoming senior Sen ator, and by having at least one faithful supporter In the House, of Representa tives. Though he outwardly professes friend ship (or Senator Fulton, and has said he favored Fulton's re-election. Senator liourne is now actually working to bring about Senator Fulton's defeat, and no one knows this better than Fulton. Not withstanding his profession of friendship Ka tn ItnnaA mamlw.ra Senator Bourno is equally determined to bring j about a change in tne lower urancn 01 Congress, though in the coming campaign he may concentrate his efforts in but one district. Bourno -wants Fulton's scalp be cause Fulton Is today the recognized leader of the delegation, and the ma jority is with Fulton. As long as Fulton remains in the Senate Bourne will be ju nior Senator. Strange as it may seem, Mr. Bourne has a bitter distaste for the prefix "junior," though he fondly retains the "Jr." at the end of his name. Prestig-e of a "Senior"' Senator. in his- brief Senatorial career Senator Bourne has discovered that a senior Sen ator enjoys privileges not extended to his colleague. His seniority gives him great er Influence in the Senate; he has a wider circle of friends, a more intimate knowl edge of Senate nrocedure, and a marked advantage in furthering legislation of in terest to his state. This prestige all goes with the title, "Senior Senator." Moreover, in a. state delegation deference Is always paid the senior Senator, an advantage which Senator Bourne wants When Senator Bourne came to "Wash ington a year ' ago, even prior to his election by the legislature, he preached - the doctrine of harmony and co-operation. He continued to talk harmony after he "was elected, and in fact still "talks", harmony. But he has clearly shown that he is for harmony only when his colleagues will harmonize with his views. He is not for harmony if it can be had only by sacrifice on his part. There was harmony as long- as Bourne grot what he wanted. But the vc-vy moment his colleagues called on him to make a sacrifice. Bourne forgot all about harmony; he was then for war. and war it has been ever since. Patronage is the direct cause of fric tion in the Oregon delegation today, as it has been In previous delegations. It was the scramble for Federal offices that developed the true relations ex isting in the delegation, and disclosed Senator Bourne's exact position. I Senator Bourne is a far-seeing man; he looks well into the future. He sized-up the situation about like this: "Senator Fulton and the two Congress- " men are candidates for re-election; they must go before the people- this Spring and ask for indorsement: under t lio circumstances, they will make as few political enemies as possible, and will subscribe to my harmony pro gramme. They cannot afford, to Incur the enmity and opposition of the be lievers in the primary law and State ment No. 1. Therefore, they will make many concessions in order to secure the Indorsement of the Bourne-U'Ken-Schuebel faction." All of which was good enough in its way, and would have worked beautifully but for the fact that Fulton. Hawley and Ellis ire not so in love with their positions as to surrender their individuality and wear the yoke offered by their lone col league. Trouble Over Patronage.' The history of Hie patronage trouble dates buck many months. "When Sena tor Bourno was. formally elected by the Legislature, l"i! demanded the right to be consulted in regard to appoint ment of all officials whose nomina tions must be confirmed by the Sen ate; he Insisted that he have a hand In the selection of Presidential Post masters. As a matter of fact. United States Senators nre supposed to have nothing to do with the appointment of Postmasters, save In their own home title. Bourne would have exclusive right to name the Postmaster, at Port- j land: Fulton at Astoria; all others to he made by the Congressmen. This is the policy in other delegations. At the insistence of Senator Bourne, however, the delegation finally agreed 'to his plan, but it was also agreed that the Congressmen. In return for the conces sion they made on" postoffice appoint ments, should he consulted regarding all other appointments in the state, and that the vote of a Congressman should have the same weight as the vote of a Senator. The first important offices to be filled after this agreement were those of Register and Iteceive-r at The Dalles. Under the agreement, these appoint ments should have been made on joint recommendation of the two Senators and Congressman Kills. As a matter of fact Bills was ignored, and Sena tor Fulton charges that Bourne hogged both appointments for his own candi dates, instead of dividing evenly, there, by violating a supposed understanding between the Senators. However, this was allowed to pass, ana nau It been the only instance, would have caused no lasting trouble. This Winter the delegation reduced its- agreement to writing. Senator Bourne being a "party, and while there Is a difference of opinion as to Bourne's obligation, the testimony of his three colleagues shows that he was bound as much by their agreement of major ity control as was any other member of the delegation, and the others hav all lived up to that agreement. The delegation made a number of Important appointments in December, the McMfnnvillo, Cottage Grove. Grants Pass and Junction City postoffices. and the Land Offices at La Grande. Lake view and Burns. Few of these ap pointments were made by unanimous vote of the delegation But in every, instance where Senator Bourne had a candidate his candidate ot a. ma jority vote. In each such instance the member of the delegation wl. was outvoted, even though lie felt his posi tion was absolutely the correct one, acquiesced in the choice of the- mtajov ttv. no matter how much it hurt him politically or otherwise. ' Bourne Stands Pat.' - Then came tfie District AttoriieVsiiH. Bourne, flushed by. his recent suc cesses, determined tt stand pat and force the delegation to come to- the support of his candidate, even though he -was the only member of the dele gation favoring Scheubel., Persuasion would not win them over; Insinuations would not do It; threats would not do it.' So he ignored his agreement and carried his fight to the White House. The result is known. Without inves tigating the qualifications of the man indorsed 'by a majority of the delega tion, the President appointed Bourne's candidate. He showed his apprecia tion of Bourne's loyal support and praise: he enabled Bourne to discharge a) deep political obligation. Had Bourne supported a candidate rjecognized the state over as an at torney of standing, and qualified for ttye office; had the President, before milking the appointment, made careful Inquiry as to the qualifications of both candidates, and then chosen Schuebel in (the belief that he was the better maw. of the two, there would probably have been no serious objection to the confirmation of the nominee. But the delegation believes, in fact they are thoroughly satisfied that Bourne did not play fair in getting this appoint ment, njid they resent his tactics. .As has been set forth in these dis. paddies, several times. Bourne's col leagues accuse him primarily of breaking- his agreement to stand by the se lection of the majority. But what Is morje. they charge Bourne with having .violated another agreement in that he actiwely worked in Scheubel's behalf prior', to filing his recommendation, when.' It had been distinctly understood all around that no member of the del egation should take this matter to the White House prior to the formal filing of the recommendation or recommenda tions, i. Bourne went to the White House 'almost flaily from the time he determined to make a lone figh't for Scheubel until the nomination was sent in. He went at the time Fulton and -Ellis were in Oregon, and he ' had the nomination made while Fulton and Kills. were still absent from Washing ton. And this over the specific request of Senator Fulton that no appointment be made until his return, unless it . should be determined to appoint, the jnan favored by. a majority of the del. egation. Hawley Keeps His Word. I Representative Hawley, who was left ifa Washington to represent the majority IB this matter, kept his agreement, both sfened and oral. He did not see the FVesldent prior to presenting the in dorsement of Bingham, and on that oc casion, he called with Senator Bourne, whot, at the same time filed his written indorsement of Scheubel. But Bourne had ueen in frequent touch with the Whit' House and with the Attorney-General, and was laughing up his sleeve when lae called with Hawley, for he even then l.uiew that Scheubel would be ap pointed i and Bingham turned down. To luyk back a couple of weeks, at tention should be called to one other significant fact. Senator Fulton was made a member of the committee which distributed committee assignments for the prese nt Congress. It is well known there vat little disposition on the part of the ,'&ther members to recognize Bourne. jUe ha? violated an unwritten rule of tl.ve Senate by forcing himself into promiience before he took his seat: he had tied up with the President as against the; Senate (and it is no secret that the SeAate is unfriendly to Roose velt), and it was the judgment of pracr tically the whole committee that Bourne should be pu fished. The' Senate always punishes new Senators who force them selves into the1, limelight, and a favorita punishment is to accord the too-ambitious man pocr committee assignments. But on that ttcesislon Senator Fulton made a strong plett-for Bourne, and event ually secured foi'him the chairmanship of the committee 'on fisheries, a commit tee which actually, meets and reports leg islation. As a natter of fact. Bourne was the only new 1-Senator to secure the chairmanship of ft, neat live committee, and he owed thaf entirely to Fulton. Moreover, Fulton ;Srrendered his own place on the com ptS tee on postoffices and post roads bd gave it to Bourne. This committee raijku high, for it not only handles the postqffice appropriation bill, but' all postoffice. nominations, and furthermore will have,' charge of the par cels post and.postat savings bank bills which are destined to be . brought for ward at no distant jday. In both these projects Senator Boitrne is Intensely In terested, and at the time he was very grateful to Fulton for! his aid in securing him two good commi tees. Wanted Everytrilng in Sight. It is apparent froiirt the record that Senator Bourne was willing to take everything he could gict. and when he reached the limit he literally "turned on the hand that fed liirp." . At any rate, that is the way Senior Fulton views the situation, and - he 5s certainly in a position to know the , significance of all that has been done. if As stated above, Bou.rui is determined first of all to accomplish1. Fulton's defeat. How far he has already gone in that di rection nobody knows. I Whether signifi cance attaches - to Boijrne's conference with Heney when Herey Was-here In December can only be told by the partici pants to that conference. -But word that has leaked out of Boune.'.s office would indicate that Bourne arjd Heney under stand each other. BVxirne has denied that Heney aided in sec Bring the nomina tion of Schuebel. Theie are those who have their doubts. . t So far as known. Sraiator Bourne is not committed to any particular candi date for United States EVnator. . His first choice would be U'Ren, 'but he will not support U'Ren unless ho- believes U'Rcn can get the necessary votes to make it appear he is the "people's choice." He is going to insist upon a "statement No. 1 man." however, and if he. can get no Republican who would le subservient to his will he will go into i the campaign "solely on principle." and avor the man who gets the largest vote i in the prima ries. Should it be out of the question to bring forth the right kind . of a Republi can, it would not be surprising to see a sufficient number of entries on the Re publican side to give the popular Vote to Governor Chamberlain, for it is under stood here that Chamberlain will have no Democratic competitor. Should the pri maries show. Chamberlain the popular choice, because of the division of the Re publican vote. Bourne, according to his own explanation of his principles, would then' favor the election of Chamberlain, Democrat, by the Legislature, Republi can. ' , Chamberlain for Colleague?. And there are good reasons why Sena tor Bourne might want Chamberlain for a colleague, if. he could not get U'Ren, or some other faithful and subservient Republican. With Chamberlain in the Senate, .Bourne-would have the sole dis tribution of patronage: he would neces sarily be the leader of the delegation, and so recognized by the President and by the Senate. Under such circumstances, -the "I Advise you to place a hoist on the mine at once, as it is almost impossible to sink to further depth with present equipment. You can then begin shipping ore almost IMMEDIATELY. There is no question as to the quality or quantity of the ore.

Their ac quisition of the Denny Dulin properties followed a careful and conscientious examination of the pros pects of quick development and large and speedy returns for their investment.

If you . invest $100 in DENNY DULIN now, you are not taking half the chance that investors in the above-mentioned prop erties took, and your probable income will be as great in proportion. It is futile to attempt to say what the stock will be worth in five years.

The relations between Bourne, and Geer are more friendly than is commonly known. As to the First District. Bourne Is un decided. He oannot charge that Hawley Is "standing Inf ' with Fulton,, for Hawley has displayed 'the utmost independence, and has shown himself made of stout stuff. He is for what he believes to be right. He has formed no binding1 alli ances, though he does stand with Fulton and Ellis on ' the District Atorneyship, because he believes they are right and he Is satisfied Boerne- is wrong. Neverthe less, Hawley's I absolute independence is galling to Boutme, for he has known for some weeks that Hawley can 'never be dominated or driven. He is not suffi ciently pliant to:. .suit the junior Senator. Yet the situation in the First District is not such as to render it altogether expe dient to bring forward a candidate against Hawley. at this time. That fight may be put over for th" future. However, Bourne would be In control If Fulton should bo supplanted by Chamber lain, U'Ren or ( some Republican who would be junior Senator in fact as well a$ in name, provided Ellis should be re placed by Geer. i That would place Bourne in the majority, land it would matter little in patronage matters where Hawley stood. Senator Bourne will probably enter de nial of the statc'itwnt that he Is hostile to his colleagues, but his denial cannot be reconciled with his actions. Bourne was friendly while iie got everything he wanted: he became hostile when , he was opposed. He does not favor Fulton's re election; he does not" want Ellis returned, and lie would prefer some other man to Hawley from the First District. Those statements will be substantiated when the .campaign opens. .

Respectfully, HARRY LAKE. Mayor; BANK CLEARINGS SMALLER Every City in Vnlted States Shows Decrease for Month. Portland is wiping out the adverse balance in her bank clearings as com pared with the corresponding months of last year. This , proves quite con clusively that the ' recent financial storm has subsided and that the city is gaining right along in its business transactions The total clearings for the January just ended were $21,696, 164, while the first month, of last year showed clearings to the amount of I2S.110.84S. This is a decrease of $6,414,684. x But this is a favorable showing when It is considered that unusual conditions prevailed during the past few months and made the actual cash transactions passing through the Clearing-House banks smaller in volume as well as In number. There. Is considerable en. couragement in the fact, too, that while November's decrease in bank clearings was $9,108,000. and December showed a loss in clearings of $10,323,000. Janu ary is gaining on the adverse showing W. B. STEWART, M. E. DE V are five full claims in all, or about 100 acres. With' the installation of the hoist, which will be in plac9 within a few days, we will be hoisting ore to the surface, making shipment a matter of judgment, rather than time. Only a small amount of treasury stock is to be disposed of. When this is gone and we stop our advertising, you will know that the Denny Dulin is doing business that means dividends. There will be no more stock offered then at any price, as a very small amount of money is required to place this mine beyond the realm of speculation, making it one of the most profitable producers in the State of Nevada. Stocks of all kinds are in groat demand. The advice of conservative men all over the Nation is io BUY STOCK. - It is only necessary to know that the proposition is bona fide. that, the managers of the eompanjr arc reliable business -men, that economical methods of mining .will be used, that the policy of the companywilt be to make money for the stock holders and not selfish' manipulation. With this foundation laid, with the investor satisfied the road to handsome returns is laid wide open. Now is the time. . The Morning Star District is the place. Denny Dnlm is the article. . - You can secure a large or small block of Denny Dulin stock now at Ten Cents a share. Buy it on easy terms if-you wish, or take advantage of the discount offered for cash in full.

The Amalgamated Copper Company has paid out $40,000,000 in divi dends; Boston & Montana, $49,000,000; Anaconda, $30,000,000; Tamarack, $9,000,000; United Verde, $20,000,000; Parrot, $6,000,000; the Morning Star district, where the DENNY DULIN is located, al ready has a great many shipping mines, demon strating the wonderful mineral wealth of the country- DENNY DULIN. will soon be shipping. and fell behind only $6,4H,6SI. There Is every reason to believe that Port land will very soon be forging ahead again in her bank clearings. The per cent of loss shown in bank clearings for the past month was 8.S. With Spokane, which shows a' loss of 8 per cent, this is . the best showing made by the cities of the Pacific North west. Seattle shows- a -loss of 27.8 per cent. Tacoma 18.1 per cent and Los Angeles is 36.7 per cent below last January's showing. - Decreases are not at all" unusual, however, throughout the country, for almost every city shows one. The week Just passed Is said to be remark able for the fact that every Clearing House city In the United States shows a loss over the corresponding week of last year.' Death of Ernest E. Elliott.
