Chamberlain Says Some Are
Even Too Cheap to Select
United States Senator.
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.

SURVIVOR OF BLACK HAWK WAR CELEBRATES 96TH
t
BIRTHDAY. ,
MONMOUTH, Or., May 23. .
(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.
Although grown somewhat feeble In the last few years, "Uncle Ira,"
as he is familiarly known, has retained remarkably clear mental facul
ties, and still enjoys good health. ,

SALEM EDUCATOR RETIRES
G. A. " 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.

6 to 4. Huil and Heyser composed the
battery for the Senators and Pender and
King for the visitors: Vmpire, Chayne.
There was a small crowd in attend
ance, but the weather and condition of
the field were ideal. Pender pitched a
good game, but was given poor support,
and Hull's arm was in bad condition and
he was wild. Several timeB the Pioneers
had two and three men on bases with
good chances to win, but the Cherry
pickers always managed to pull out of a
bad hole.
Five of Salem's scores were made in
the first inning, and the fireworks were
started with two men on bases when
Jerman lined a two-bagger- to-center and
brought them in. Hull came near losing
the game in the ninth when he walked
two men. hit a third and one was brought
home, with one man out. but he rallied
and won out. The same teams play
