THE StJXDAT OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, JTTLY 19, 1908.
FAITH IN ELECTORS
Ankeny Trusts Them for An
other Term.
OPPOSED BY W. L. JONES
Millionaire Senator, Xow in Port
land, Discusses Progress of Irri
gation Projects and Benefit to
the State of Washington.
"Durin my term in the Senate I have
done everything in my power to serve
the people of the State of Washington
and to aid them in the development of
their state and Its resources," said Levi
Ankeny, millionaire United States" Sena
tor from Washington, et the Imperial
Hofel yesterday. "If they are satisfied
vith my services they will have an oppor
tunity to support me for renomination
In the primary nominating election on
Beptember 8. I have labored faithfully
in their Interests and am going before
them at this time for their indorsement."
Senator Ankeny is chairman of the
committee on irrigation in the National
Senate, although when he first went to
Washington he was only a subordinate
member of the committee. As chairman
of this committee Senator Ankeny suc
cessfully proposed the plan by which a
fund of J4O.00O.000 in the National Irri
gation fund was ' disbursed among the
34. states entitled to a share as a means
further of promoting Irrigation projects
in those states.
"The Yakima, Okanagan and Tietan
Irrigation projects in the State of Wash
ington are all prospering," said Senator
Ankeny, "and through this agency a vast
empire, formerly arid, is being convert
ed into a productive area. No other one
tiling is doing more to develop the State
of Washington than is the encourage
ment of these irrigation projects. They
mean the making: of homes for hundreds
of additional settlers, and the convert
ing of thousands of acres of non-productive
land Into fertile fields and gar
dens." Senator Ankeny la a candidate for re
nomination as the Republican nominee
for Senator in the primary nominating
election which will be held September
, but he declined to discuss anything
pertaining to politics. The Senator will
be opposed by Congressman W. I Jones,
who has aspirations to serve In the upper
branch of the National Legislature. The
September election will be the first test
Of the primary nominating law in Ore
gon's sister state. This law differs from
that In this state only in that the statute
provides only for the nomination of the
party voters' choice. In other words,
the successful candidate of each party
In the primary election will be considered
the party's nominee in the succeeding
state Legislature.
For that reason the election of Senator
will bo. determined in the primary elec
tion and either Senator Ankeny or Con
gressman Jones will be the next Sena
tor from Washington. The Legislature
unquestionably will be Republican and all
that will remain for that body to do
will be to ratify the choice of the Re
publican voters of the state as expressed
in the nominating election. So far as the
election of Senator is concerned, under
the primary election law of Washing-
ton, all the voters do Is to express tneir
party choice for United States Senator.
The Legislature does the rest. There
Is no such perplexing problem as State
ment No. 1 to be considered.
Senator Ankeny left last night for his
home at Walla Walla after spending
two days in Portland.
TELLS OF IDAHO POLITICS
A. B. MOSS SAYS STATE IS I1E
Pt'BlilCAX. Taft and Shcrmnn Will Carry by
2)2,000, Declares Payette Citi
zen Now in Portland.
"I am confident that Idaho will give
Taft and Sherman a majority of not
less than 22.000." said A. B. Moss, of
Payette, Idaho, last evening at the
rerkins. "In fact I believe Idaho will
e the banner Republican state of
the Union, according to. her voting
strength."
Mr. Moss is one of the most prom
inent business men of the Gem State,
and has been active in Republican
politics for a decade. In 189S he was
(he nominee for Governor on the Re
publican ticket, and, as he says: "In
business largely and in politics some
what; now claiming to be without in
tentional bias nor political prejudice
other than as we Westerners view
them."
Asked as to the results of the forth
coming election in Idaho, Mr. Moss
?aid: "We have been trying In a friend
y way to accomplish things for the
betterment of our families; our busi
ness men who care for our material
progress as a state and its different
communities. Individuality In each ln
Itance ihould be eliminated. Our
Western views could only in a small
Way represent the prospective future.
It is assured that the Idaho voters
will obtain the very best material
nvallable for their respective candl
Bates. "Three times I have canvassed the
Etate of Idaho in the Interests of the
Republican party, and in the chase I
was only one mile a minute behind
Senator W. B. Heyburn. In 1S9S I
was up lor Governor and Heyburn
or Congress. We made a real hot
fight, but went down before a grand
ronglomerated aggregation of Demo
rrats. Socialists. Silver Republicans,
populists, Finlos, Sixteen-to-Oners and
' Bryanites, et al., with the Dubosltes
wielding the big stick. At the next
election the Republicans of the state
In a pronounced way elected a Re
publican administration and a Repub
lican Legislature, and the state was
redeemed.
"I am convinced that Idaho will give
a Republican majority of 22.J00 for
the National ticket. I also feel cer
tain that tne state convention will
Indorse Senator Heyburn for re-election.
He ha made good all the way
through and is recognized as one of the
very few great men or the United
States. Antagonistic newspapers, po
litical chicanery and individual noto
riety cut "but Utile ice. Our people ap
preciate our senior Senator's work, and
with them the old saw. 'merit will win
its own reward is applicable. Really
there is no opposition of any moment
against Senator Heyburn and I look
for an ununimous indorsement at the
Republican slate convention."
"How about the chances of Con
gressman French?" was asked.
"Well, French is one of us. He was
raised and educated in Idaho. He was
floor leader of the Republican minor
ity in the Idaho Legislature when
barely of voting age and while yet a
student of the Moscow University. He
was the youngest member of Congress
when first elected, but he has been in
defatigable in his efforts in behalf of
his constituency and for the whole
Northwest. He has been handicapped,
of course, because of the numerically
weal voting strength of Idaho in Con
gress, due to our comparatively small
population, which, however, is so rap
idly increasing that we will within an
other year or two be entitled to an
other Congressman.
"If we can secure another member
of the Lower House as capable as Con
gressman French and as are Senators
Heyburn and Borah I in the Senate,
Idaho will receive all that is coming
and will have reason to be proud of
her delegation.
"I want to say a word or two about
Governor F. R. Gooding. He has held
the office for two terms during the ex
traordinary turbulent times following
the assassination of ex - Governor
Stuenenberg. It was a difficult posi
tion to fill, but Governor Gooding was
equal to the occasion and enjoys the
unbounded respect and confidence of
all classes In Idaho not allied to
anarchy and socialism. No man in
that state doubts his sterling honesty
nor his integrity of purpose."

SALEM, Or., July 18. (Special.) J. T.
Turner, a prosperous young farmer resid
ing six miles east of Salem, on the Sil
verton road, disappeared last Thursday
and no trace of him can be found. He
was a member of the Woodmen of the
World and the members of that order are
putting forth every effort to aid his grief
stricken family In finding what became

was 37 years old. weighed 170 pounds,
was five feet eight Inches tall and had
heavy, black hair and eyebrows and gray
eyes. He left home Thursday morning
and came to Salem to have a tooth pull
ed. He received from the Salem cannery
checks for money due him and cashed
the checks at the bank. No one has seen
him since, so far as can be learned.
Turner was strictly temperate In his
habits, never having entered a saloon so
far as his family knows. He was a man
of good education and a thorough student
of history. No reason for voluntary dis
appearance can be given for his family

He was formerly a resident of James
town, North Dakota, coming to Oregon
twelve years ago. He has a wife and

men desires the assistance of all members
of the order in finding the man.
CHAMPION JVIERRY WIDOW
How Ritz Came to Wear Wondrous
Heatfcar in Elks' Parade.
ST. PAUL, Minn.. July 17. When N. A.
Ritz, of Walla Walla, Wash., appeared
in the Elks parade at Dallas he wore
the largest Merry Widow hat in America.
It is 60 inches in diameter and has a
crown a foot high.
"Wish I had a good josh hat to wear
in the Dallas parade' Mr. Ritz re
marked a week ago as he sat in the
smoking compartment of a Pullman
bound for Sioux City.
"If youll wear the hat I send you, I'll
furnish you one," remarked a man sitting
near by. Introductions followed and Mr.
Ritz found that he was talking to a
wealthy hat manufacturer of St. Paul.
"I'll make you a hat the like of which
there is not in all America," the latter
eaid.
"Make it and I'll wear it, or I'll buy
the best suit of clothes in America for
you," agTeed Mr. Ritz.
The hat was shipped to Dallas by ex
press for Mr. Ritz. It followed the ac
cepted Merry Widow style and was so
large that the shipping-room clerks had
to build a special crate with a cupola on
the top to protect the crown. A pound
of glue was required to complete its man
ufacture. and at the factory they put 400
yards of straw braid, three-quarters of an
inch wide, into what is accepted as the
most astonishing Merry Widow ever cre
ated, and probably the largest ever built
in the world. Mr. Ritz had to pay about
ten xpress charges, but had a hat that
made every Elk in the parade turn green
with envy.

Overcome by the heat to such an extent

fore taking his life, Mr. Bowker com
plained of the heat and declared to Mrs
Morris, his daughter, that he was not
feeling well. Mrs. Morris found the body
of her father swinging from a rope in the
basement, a little before 4 o'clock, upon
returning from an errand across the
street. Mr. Bowker had been splitting kindling
in the basement, and when his daughter
left, he was in the act of carrying an
armful of wood into the kitchen. When
his daughter entered the basement to
place some groceries in an ice chest she
noticed the aged man hanging from the
rope, but at first thought that he was
reaching for something. When she real
ized what he had done, she rushed out
of the basement, calling for help. A
neighbor answered her cries, but when
taken down, the body of Mr. Bowker
was lifeless. The Coroner's office was
notified and the body was removed to the
morgue. fc
Mr. Bowker had been living with his
daughter and son-in-law In Portland for
18 years. He came to this city from Car
son City, New Although born in Ver
mont, Mr. Bowker spent the greater part
of his lifetime in Michigan. During his
working years he was a conductor on the
Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Rail

QUEBEC'S GREAT PAGEANT
Tercentenary Birthday Anniversary
of Canada's Ancient Capital.
World's Work.
Monday, July 20, will begin the ter
centenary celebration of the founding
of Quebec a celebration different from
any other ever held on this continent,
and of its kind more -imposing and
dramatic than any of its predecessors.
A great historical pageant is to be
given before the tens of thousands who
will gather to honor the birthday anni
versary of the ancient capital of Can
ada. Frank Lascelles, who was master
of the successful pageant at Oxford last
year, has been engaged to conduct that
at Quebec. He has given a slight out
line of his plan.
"On the banks of the river Jacques
Cartier will plant his cross and read to
the assembled Indians the very words
he read on the banks of the Lai ret 400
years ago. Then down to the river he
will go, taking with him the Algon
quin chief; and, their wild dances
hushed, the Indians will accompany
him to the boat and paddle away in
their, canoes as he sets out on his
journey back to France. Then you will
be transplanted to the gardens of Fon
.tainebieau, to the proud court of Fran
cois I. Ladies and gentlemen, cour
tiers and knights, habited in the cos
tumes of the time, will come into view,
while Jacques Cartier, at the command
of his king, recounts his discovery of
the great western country. Then some
j-ears pass by and at the court of an
other king, Henry IV, we see Cham
plain receiving his commission to set
out on his journey of discovery, where
the brave Cartier had been in the cen
tury preceding. We are transported
again to see Champlafn in other scenes
of his life in the new country and the
new city he has founded. So we pass
on in quickly varying sequence through
many historic scenes, the arrival of the
Jesuits and of Mother Marie, the found
er of the Ursulines.
"We are shown Dollard, the hero of
Montreaf, with his band of the faithful
16 making a stand against the hordes
of savages and so saving Canada. The
furious Indian battle will be seen be
fore our eyes, the little fort with its
brave occupants will stand out against
the flight of arrows and the furious
onslaught of the Iroquois. Until at last
the brave fight of the heroes comes to
an end and a heap of ashes is all that
is left. . Then on to a stately scene in
which will figure one of the saints of
old time, the noble and venerable Mon
seigneur de Laval, who, surrounded
with all the state and ceremony of an
ecclesiastical prince, will receive the
official representative of the king;
blazing in many colored uniforms the

FISH AS CURE FOR ILLS
Superstitious Have Long Found
Panaceas In Finny Tribe.
Pittsburg Gazette-Times.
The one flsh medicine of which modern
science thoroughly approves is cod liver
oil, and this, though in far less nauseous
form than formerly, is swallowed in tons
every year.
In old days a much wider use was made
of fish as cures for various evils, and
some of these practices have survived to
the present day. Some little time ago a
boy died of epilepsy in a North Wales
parish. The doctor, called in too late, in
quired if the deceased had been given
any medicine. "Oh. yes." was the an
swer. "We caught a trout, drowned it in
new milk, and gave it to the boy."
Eels are supposed to possess all kinds
of virtues. In the dark ages of medicine
a powder made of eels' liver was con
sidered an absolute specific for deafness,

and was aiso employed in cases of ague
or fever. A decoction of eels' fat is still
used by Dutch peasants as a remedy for
falling hair.
But the most valuable part of the eel,
according to popular superstition, is its
skin. Many an old farmer wears a belt
of eel skin as a preventive against rheu
matism, and some believe that a garter
made of the skin of this snake-like flsh
worn next to the human skin is a pre
ventive not only against rheumatism, but
also against sprains or similar injuries.
Another cure for rheumatism, which
finds favor with salt-water fishermen, is
a red herring. The herring being the
most plentiful of all the sea fish, a num
ber of superstitions have attached them
selves to it. For luck through the ensu
ing year one must be sure to eat a her
ring on New Year's day.
Fishermen believe that each shoal is
headed by a king herring, which is more
than double as large as any of its fol
lowers. They believe that, when one of
the "kings" comes up in the net, it should
be thrown overboard; otherwise, the next
day's fishing will he a failure. '
