GOVERNOR IS CONFIDENT Tells Wood burn Voters He Will Be Elected Over Cake by Larger Ma jority Than He Received the , Last Time for Governor. WOODBVRX, Or.. May 23. (Special.) Uovernor Chamberlain addressed a large gathering, in this city this after noon and predicted his election for United States Senator by the people by a larger vote than he received for Gov ernor two years ago. He denounced the old convention methods, strongly advo cated the direct primary and Statement No. 1 and said that some members of the Legislature were not worth $3 a day and were cheap skates- that should not be allowed to. make a choice for Senator for the people. The Governor thought the interests of Oregon could be best protected if there were one Democratic Senator to work with the Democrats; that at present Congressional delegations have consumed too much time in quarreling over who shall hold office and have done little for Oregon. The speaker promised that, when Senator, he would support all meas ures in the interest of the people, re gardless of party or who sits in the Pres idential chair. Touching on the many pardons charged against him. the Governor stated' that a large number were of those who had served their sentence and the pardons had beei issued in order to restore to them the rights of citizenship. Others were on account of contracting fatal Ill ness. In the case of Hembree. he said he acted on what Judge McBride said to the effect that the evidence was not suf ficient to convict. Also that Judge Bur nett had sentenced the man to one to 15 years, and' In cases of indeterminate sentence he generally pardoned the men after the minimum had been served. Governor Chamberlain acknowledged that he Is a Democrat, but placed prin ciple, above party. Ql'IET CAMPAIGN IV LANE Chief County Issue Centers on Con- V ' test for Sheriff. KUGEXra. Or.. May 23. (Special.) The election one week from Monday promises to be one of the quietest yet held in lane County. Of the state and district offices the only contest of any interest is be tween H. M. Cake and George H. Cham berlain for United States Senator. Cham berlain carried Ijane County over 'Withy oombe two years ago. but since the coun ' ty is Very strongly Republican and there are no factions here opposing Cake, it is expected that he will carry the county this year by a large majority. According to the registration records, rthe Repub licans . outnumber the Democrats more than two to one. As to the other candidates for state and district offices, the Republicans will have, an overwhelming majority. In the county offices, the principal con test is that for Sheriff. The Democrats, who have been able to elect their man for this county office for a number of years, are centering their fight for Harry 1.. Bown. The Republicans will make a strenuous effort to wrest this plum from the minority party, and Drew Grif fin, their candidate, is making a quiet, but Intensive campaign. The two measures In which the people w ill taUe the mont active interest are the referendum on the State University and the local option question. Lane will give an overwhelming majority for the university appropriation bill. "While the local option issue will be actively waged by both the wets and drys, the fact that the county is already dry and there is no saloon property that will be Involved in the results, will have a tendency to keep the campaign quieter than It was two -ears ago.

(Special.) Ira F. M. Butler cele brated his 96th birthday Wednes day. May 20. A public reception wae held in honor of fills well known pioneer, and a large circle of friends called and congratu lated him during the afternoon and evening. His boyhood was spent in his native State of Ken tucky, from where he moved with' his father to the then new country of Illinois, where the active days of early manhood found him foremost in move ments for the upbuilding of the country, and holding public po sitions of honor and trust. He served in the Black Hawk "War in 1832 in the company from Illinois of which his father, Peter Butler, was Captain, and is in all probability the only sur vivor of that war. Hie associa tion in public offices brought him the acquaintance of such promi nent men of the time as Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas, and was appointed by the latter as clerk of the Circuit Court. He was married to Mary Ann Davidson in 1835, and crossed the plains in 1S53, by the ox wagon route, settling in Polk County, where he has continuously lived. Six children were born to them, three of whom are now living, A. D. Butler, of Napa, Cal., and Maggie and AUie. with whom he makes his home in Monmouth. His wife died in 1888.

" PEEBLES ' QCITS " CLASS ROOM DUTIES. Engaged in Public School Work for Over 3 0 Years Popular "With His Pupils Health Is Failing. SALEM, Or., May 23. (Special.) Pro fessor G. A. Peebles, who lias been al most continuously engaged in public- ; L ' h i I ' J ' Frofeasor G. A. Peebles, Retlr "laa; Salem Educator. school work in Oregon for 30 years, has resigned the position of principal of the North School in this city and will retire from active work on account of the con dition of his health. He had been re elected for next year, but will sever his connection with the schools at the end of the present year. Professor Peebles has occupied many positions of responsibility and trust. He began teaching in a rural school near Turner, in 1J71. taught in the schools of Silverton in 7T. in Woodburn In '7S, and entered the Salem schools in '79, teach ing here continuously until 1887, during three years of which time he was City Superintendent. He served two terms as County Superintendent, from 1884 to 1888. From 1S89 to 1S83 he was principal of the McMinnville schools. In 1893 he re entered the Salem schools, and from 1895 to 1899 was City Superintendent. In 1S99 he became a member of the faculty of Weston State Normal, which position he held for six years, then returning to a principalship in the Salem schools. His work has always been highly satisfactory to the public-school officials and has been keenly appreciated by the hundreds of boys and girls, many of them now young men and women, who came under his in struction. Vpon accepting his resigna tion, the Salem School Board adopted a resolution expressing Us regret that the condition of his health made It necessary for him to retire from active wjjrti, - agitating the minds of Lake Csunty people. It is known here that tne sur vey completed last Fall by the Harri man people, and which touched the town of Lakeview, after traversing Lake County north and south, was sat isfactory to the people In charge of the work that a good grade was found and that the contemplated line would be easy to construct. But when the financial flurry struck the country, all men were withdrawn from the work in Kastern Oregon. Now the recent an nouncement of a big bond issue has revived the hope of people who know the rich possibilities and resources of this section, and speculation as to the possibility of construction work at an early date has again begun. Kails Within 60 Miles of Lakeview. The Nevada, California & Oregon Railroad, a little irregular line of road projected north from Reno, Nev., has been slowly but steadily constructing north, and now is within a few miles of Alturas, in Northern California. By putting on a considerable force of men this road could be brought into Lake view before the end of 1908. While it is poorly constructed, and winds and turns around every obstruction,, never theless it is better than staging. With but a little over 60 miles to construct in order to establish a depot at, Lake view, and tap one of the largest and richest sections of Oregon, there is a hope that continued grading and lay ing of -rails on this little road means that it is but the forerunner of one of the larger railroad systems, and that soon a considerable force of men will be laying track into Lake County. It offers a strategic opportunity for one of the larger railroad companies to do a piece of "hurry-up" work and be the first, to command- the business of this rapidly developing section. Hill Line Slay Go South. The announcement that appeared in The Oregonian last Fall to the effect that the Hill interests had filed a right-of-way map for a road up the Dee chutes River to the Agency Plains country in Crook County has given rise to the belief that Hill contemplates a road running South through Central Oregon from the North Bank Road on the Columbia River. It is reported here that a private right-of-way for that road has been purchased from all patentees of the Government, whose land is crossed by the right-of-way. that permanent surveys have been made, and it only remains for active construction work to start the builder of the North Bank Road into Harri man territory. Vast Areas Await Development. With all of these projects In sight, i people of Lake County are hopeful that a railread will connect them with the markets of the world in the near future. There are two or three big Irrigation schemes on foot here that will reclaim thousands of acres of valuable agrlculural land. Also, the finest belt of yellow pine timber on the Coast is in reach of the road that builds through Lake County. But all of these resources will await a road before de velopment begins. A.
