What a Dollar Dor Can Do.
New York Times.
A man In a nearby city bought for hla
wife and child a year ago a dog, for
which he paid a dollar. It was obviously
ntithlng wonderful in the canine way
merely a mongrel, with the bulldog
rtra!:i predominant. The owner was a
man In humble circumstances, and the
dog. In his modest dwelling, was the
principal asset, aside from a few sticks
of furniture.
The other night Tom was tied to a
Ie of the kitchen sink aa usual, and
the family went to bed. They were
awakened at midnight by the dog
:.-ratehliig at his master's dopr. When I
lils master came out to see what was I
the ninlter. the dog. with a remnant of
.chewed rope hanging from his 'collar,
whined and ran to the head of the
.stairway. The house 'was on fire, and
shortly after woman and child and man
and dog made their escape their poor
dwelling was a mass of glowing em
bers. The owner of the dog has been urged
to part with him for a large cash
consideration, but. though he Is pen
niless, he will not part with the four
footed savior of his family, neither has
the dog at any time, had thoughts of
leaving home for luxurious kennels.

At the conclusion of the assembly, D.
W. Kuykendall, chairman, gave way to
Dr. D. A. Paine, who presided at the

The appearance and introduction of Mr.
Bowerman was the signal for a demon
stration. The Acting Governor made a
eliort address, stating his platform. His
explanation of the disadvantageous way
In which supplies for the state Institu
tions are purchased and his remedy, made
a strong impression.
Mr. Bowerman said that he knew of
lntrtanccs in which the asylum bought
goods for 40 par cent less than the price
paid by the mute school. Such condi
tions he promised to remedy by providing
uniform purchasing policy and allowing
every man to bid on supplies used by the
state.
After Mr. Bowerman had finished.
Judge A. C Woodcock paid the Republi
can candidate for Governor a compliment.
He said that the way In which Mr.
Bowerman'e neighbors went to Portland
to fight to a man for their fellow-citizen
was as tine a compliment and as strong
recommendation as a mail could re
ceive.

Mr. Bowerman as "a man who knows

sentative Hawley was greeted with ap
plause, as was Mr. Hawley when he
arose to speak. Mr. Hawley reviewed
he work of the last session or Con
gress and . ttiscussen isationai issues 1
.which directly affect the people of the
district. The speaker referred to those
who asserted that the supporters of the
Assembly sought to destroy the primary
law. a ltd when without mention of a
name, he asked what kind of support
the primary law was receiving by any
one who had recently said that if here
at the general election, he would vote
against any Republican who received
he Indorsement of the primaries, if he
was favorable to the. Assembly, the
audience cheered.

SALEM, Or., Sept. 3. (Special.)
Hugh McLaln, of Marshfield, Demo
cratic candidate for the nomination for
State Railroad Commissioner, will not
secure a place on the ballot, accord
ing to checking done at the office of
Secretary of State this afternoon, in
which it was ascertained that McLain's
completed petition is lacking 109 signa
tures and two precincts in Clackamas
County. McLaln stated In his declara
tion that his one desire In running for
the office of Railroad Commissioner
was to emulate the deeds of Oswald
West. ,
Because Claude R. Seager, of Lake
view, candidate for Representative on
the Republican ticket from the Twenty
First District was evidently not aware
that Grant County was a portion of his
district, he will also be excluded from a
place on the ballot. Seager states In
his declaration that he favors State
ment No. 1 and that he Is a candidate
frcm Crook, Klamath and Lake Coun
ties. He Ignored Grant County entirely
in his petition for nomination.
Frank M. Gill, of Dufur, filed his
declaration as a candidate for Joint
Representative on the Republican
ticket from Hood River and Wasco
Counties. He says he favors Statement
No. 1, that he hopes to improve the
schools and roads and is against the
assembly and the calling of a const!
tutional convention.
R. A. Caples and Charles P. Strain
were here with several completed pe
titions today. Includd In them -were
petitions for Strain as Democratic can
didate .for Railroad Comm'.siioner,
Turner Oliver-as Demicratic candidate

James Godfrey, Democratic candidate
for State Printer, and Jefferson Myers,
Democratic candidate for Governor.
Judge Thomas F. Ryan, of Oregon
City, candidate for State Treasurer,
railed to appear with his completed pe
tition, and' consequently his name will
not be on the ballot.
This leaves Ralph Hoyt, assembly
candidate, and T. B. Kay, alone In th
Meld for this office before the Repub
lican primary.

drawal of J. R. Burke, of Wahkiakum In
favor of Ell Rockey, -of Pacific. H. A.
Espey, the other candidate, favors county
unit local option while Rockey and Burke
are opposed to that policy.
After canvassalng the two counties,
Mr. Burke became convinced that, with

action will result In the nomination of
Mr. Rockey in the Republican primary.
The Democrats have no candidate.

G. -Park, for 22 years a custom Inspector
at this port, had been suspended in con
nection with the case.
The goods were brought Into the coun
try by Frank Tllley. of Portland, Or.,
a brother of the Countess, who is now at
the Park-Avenue Hotel. The appraisal
already made shows that the goods are
worth more than $10,000.
When Mr. Tllley and his wife arrived
several days ago on the Mauretania, It
was known by the custom olficials here
that Mr. Tllley was bringing home the
belongings of his sister, who had died
in Paris on February 22. He made no
attempt at evasion, and in a note upon
his declaration said that the goods
were In his possession. The goods con
sist of clothing, furs and many pieces
of costly Jewelry.
The Government contends that not
only was the Countess the widow of an
alien, but that she had not been in this
country for six years.
When the Countess died it was re
ported to the authorities that her ef
fects were worth $1,000,000 and from
that day until the arrival of the Maure
tania a watch was kept both here and
abroad.
