1 etarv to Senator Bourne, doing; in
; Grant. Harney and adjoining counties?
The appearance of Mr. Young In me
I Interior counties has started the rumor
that hl mission Is to bolster up me
' Statement One Republican members for
the double purpose of perpetuating that
doctrine and securing tne election m
r.nvnuir rhamberlain to the senate.
Anticipating that petitions would be
circulated relieving Statement une ne
publican members of the Legislature
' from voting for a Democrat for Sena
' tor. it Is charged In political circles
'that Bourne's private secretary and
. confidential manager Is working to
' counteract any such movement. It is
.further reported that If It becomes
: necessary to checkmate such a play he
Is making the necessary arrangements
for circulating petitions among the
: voters, addressed to anti-Statement
members of the Legislature and tnslst
: Ing that such Legislators support the
popular choice for senator.
At any rate, those acquainted with
' th. methods of Senator Bourne and
J his gumshoe lieutenant aver that Toung
is not touring the remote counties of
( Eastern Oregon for his health. Neither
: Is he there without the sanction of his
chief. Just what his errand is. Young
j has not disclosed, except perhaps to a
' few of Bourne's trusted friends, but
) the object of his county-to-county can
: vim (lnuhtless will develop before
many days.
Bourne JLooking to Future.
Toung"s exit to Eastern Oregon Immed
iately following the announcement that
Bourne would return In September la also
taken as an Indication that something Is
In the wind. Bourne and bis managers
here are known to be Interested in see
ing that Statement No. 1 Is enforced next
Winter. This plan of Senator-making
worked out satisfactorily to Bourne and
he wants to see it retained even If It in
, volves the election of a Democrat. The
people of the state having been good to
film nncp h In nnturallv concerned in
supporting the system and taking an
other cnance or securing tne poyumr in
dorsement for another term less than four
years hence. ,
Mr. Young has spent some time in
Grant and Harney Counties, interviewing
prominent Republicans in both counties.
Those counties, together with Malheur
constitute the Twenty-second Senatorial
District, which elected for Senator last
June. C. W. Parish, an anti-Statement
Republican. Just what recognition a
petition asking Senator-elect Parish to
vote for Chamberlain would receive Is a
doubtful question. Several times since
his election, he has asserted repeatedly
that he would not vote for any Democrat
for Senator. HJs first choice la Senator
Fulton and at all times a Republican.
Where Does Bailey Stand?
At the same time Governor Chamber
lain and his managers are not overlook
ing any opportunity further to line up
Statement members and insure their sup
port of the Governor. A deal is said to
tie Incubating. If It has not hatched entire
ly, whereby A. A. Bailey, hold-over State
ment Senator from Clackamas and Mult
nomah. Is to support Chamberlain for Sen
ator In return for the passage of a bill
creating a new Board of County Commis
sioners, the members of which shall be
named by the Governor on recommenda
tion of Bailey.
The proposed additional Board of Com
missioners Is a separate board whose du
ties It will be provided shalk consist of the
fceneral management of the bridges and
ferries of this county. Two of the mem
bers of this board, it was reported yester
clay, were to be Ferdlpand E. Reed and G.
,"SV. Holcomb, a former member of the
Etate Legislature.
"This talk of another county board Is
all news to me." said Mr. Reed last
ntght. "I am not looking for any County
Comlsstonershlp; I want something better
than that. There is no such deal on
loot that I know of,"
Kay's Support Falling Off.
It Is further represented that the
Bailey-Chamberlain alliance Involves not
only Bailey's support of the Governor for
Senator, but the support of Bailey In his
candidacy for President of the Senate by
democratic members of the upper house.
This would mean that some of the sup
port supposed to have been corra'led by
Senator Kay. of Marlon, had got away
from him. In fact. It has been rumored
that by Insisting on his Republicanism,
Kay has estranged some of the Democrats
who were supposed to have been pledged
to his support.
Ever since the June election. Bailey has
avoided announcing his position respect
ing the election of Senator. He was
elected In June. 1906. as a Statement No.
1 man, but when urged for a statement
as to what he would do when the Legis
lature meets next Winter he has always
replied: "You may class me as non
committal. It Is a long time between now
and next January, but I expect to vote
right at the proper time."
Having assumed this Indefinite and un
satisfactory attitude, friends of Chamber
lain opened up negotiations with the'hold
over Senator with the result that terms
agreeable to both interests are said to
have been reached. Substantial conces
sions necessarily had to be made to gain
Bailey's support of Chamberlain, and
these are believed to have been forth
coming In the assurance of a Bailey board
of commissioners and the support of the
Multnomah County man by Democrats In
, his desire to be elected President of the
Senate.

TO ABIDE BY FIXED RATES
HARRIMAX LIXES TO CONFORM
TO RECENT DECISIQX.
Will Haul Lumber at Schedules
Fixed by Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Pending a final decision by the
United States Supreme Court in the
lumber rate controversy, the Harrlman
officials have announced, that the rates
fixed by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission will prevail. This amounts to
a victory for the Oregon and Washing
ton lumbermen, since the decision of
the Commission virtually restored the
tariffs that were In effect prior to No
vember 1. 1907. Following the ruling
of the Commission the railroads ap
pealed the case to the Supreme Court
of the United States.
This announcement was made yes
terday by W. E. Coman, assistant gen
eral freight agent of the Harrlman
lines for the Northwest, in the follow
ing form:
"The rates from November 1, 1907,
to October 16, 1908, on shipments from
parties to the injunction suit will be
the rates as ordered by the Commis
sion, which will be published effective
October 15.
"The rate on shipments on and after
October 15 will be the Commission's
rates as published, regardless of what
the final outcome Is in the court up to
the time of decision by the Supreme
Court."
The .rates as announced, by the Har
rlman roads will apply to shippers af
fected by the suits of the Oregon and
Washington Lumber Manufacturers'
Association and the Willamette Valley
Lumbermen's Association, or the "3.10
case. The errect of this action on the
part of the railroad is to enable the
lumbermen of Oregon and Washington
to resume business relations on the
same basis that existed before the ar
bitrary advance in rates was an
nounced last Fall. It will also enable
lumber manufacturers of this state,
also of Washington, to re-enter the
Missouri River and other Eastern ter
ritory from which they have been ex
cluded for nearly a year by reason of
the unfavorable freight rates which
prevented them from competing , In
those fields with other shippers In
Minnesota and Michigan who had bet
ter rates.
elsewhere temporarily until suitable
offices could be secured.
Official announcements are expected
soon from the head of the passenger
department of- the new road to the
effect that tickets will be handled In
the offices of the Hill lines now hav
ing offices In the city.
HILIi COMPANY TO CONTROL
Independent Office for New Line
Will Xot Be Opened Here.
Although General Passenger Agent
Adams, of the Spokane, Portland & Se
attle Railway, -is not yet ready to
make announcements regarding the
sale of tickets over the new line In
Portland, It is quite definitely settled.
It Is understood, that the Hill passen
ger offices In the city will handle the
tickets, and that no independent ticket
office will be opened. The tickets will
undoubtedly be placed on sale at the
Northern Pacific office at Third and
Morrison streets and at the Great
Northern office at 122 Third street.
As these two roads own the new
line Jointly, they are quite willing to
handle the sale of tickets. They can
do so with but little additional trouble
and probably without hiring more
ticket clerks. Separate accounts will,
of course, be necessary, and it is likely
that one man In each - office will be
put in charge of the Spokane, Portland
& Seattle tickets.
One strong reason why no independ
ent ticket office will be opened is that
it is next to Impossible to find a suit
able location on railroad row. . All
available locations have been snapped
up by. the lines represented here, and
those In the district are always on the
lookout for more central offices. Re
cently the Northwestern office was
compelled to abandon a desirable lo
cation near Third and Morrison and go

Henry Conlin. of San Francisco, repre

the Southern Pacific Company, is spend
ing a few days here, being registered
at the Portland. Mr. Conlin came to
Portland to superintend defensive meas
ures for the protection from forest fires
of his company's extensive holdings In
this state. Reports received by him yes
terday were to the effect that the rain
storm of Wednesday had practically extin
guished all the forest fires in the state.
Mr. Conlin Is a life-long friend of Thomas
B. Neuhausen, special agent and attor
ney of the land department, who has as
sisted the Government in the prosecution
of the Oregon land-frauds.

SELF DELUSION
Many People Deceived fcy Coffee.
We like to defend our indigencies
and habits even though we may be
convinced of their actual harmfulness.
A man can convince himself that
whisky is good for him on a cold morn,
ing, or beer on a hot Summer day
when he wants the whisky .or beer?
It's the same with coffee. Thousands
of people suffer headache and nerv
ousness year after year but try to
persuade themselves the cause Is not
coffee because tHey like coffee.
"While yet a . child I commenced
using coffee-and continued it," writes
a Wis. man, "until I was a regular
coffee fiend. I - drank it every morn
ing and In consequence had a blinding
headache nearly every afternoon.
"My folks thought It was coffee
that ailed me, but I. liked ft and would
not admit It. was :the cause of my
trouble, so I. stuck to coffee and the
headaches stuck to me.
"Finally, the folks stopped buying
coffee and brought home some Postum.
They made it risht (directions on pkg.)
and told me tn see what difference it
would make with my head, and during
that first week on Postum my. old af
fliction did not bother me once. From
that day to this we have used nothing
but Postum in place of . coffee head-
aches are a thing of the past and the
whole family Is in fine health."
"Postum looks good, smells good,
tastes good. Is good, and does good to
the whole body." "There's a Reason."
