Frederick C- Harper was renominated for this office, yesterday and today Piles laying plans to have the nomi nation rejected on the ground that Harper Is personally obnoxious. This probably Is true, for Plies has for two months been Imploring the President to name his brother. Matt Piles, of Seat tle, as Collector of Customs, and the President baa refused to do so. a Harper was renominated because he. like Malcolm at Portland, has "made good " It would not be surprising to see Piles and Bourne Join Issue and undertake to bring about the rejection of the nominations of both Malcolm and Harper. Piles and Bourne are both members of the committee to which these two nominations have been re. frred and together they may get an adverse report. It remains to be seen whether the Senate will side with them and against the President, because of the known grounds on which both Sen ators are opposing the President's ap pointees. In neither case can the objecting Senator make any great gain by de feating the pending nominations, for. If Harper Is rejected, the President will not make a new appointment until Piles Is out of office and. If Malcolm Is rejected. Bourne will not be permit ted to select his successor.

Tn fi Cnolal lf3lltrid In DlT Judgment by a mass of historical refer ! ences which I have gathered, my belief Is that Oregon will double Its popula , tlon within the next decade." I This statement was made by Dr. Jo seph Schafer. the Oregon historian, who has recently returned from the snnual meeting of the American Historical As sociation, held In Indianapolis. Dr. i penarer. wno is in i."u v n.v ' department at the University of Ore gon. Is the author of "History of the !

"The British Attitude Toward the Oregon Question. 1M5-1S4S." ap peared In the current Issue of the American Historical Review. "Oregon Is now standing at. the mar gin of a new era In population develop ment." continued Professor Schafer. 'This Is the one definite .impression that waa left upon my mind aa a result of my recent trip through the States of North Dakota. Wisconsin. Indiana and Kansas. In addition I discussed the population problem with authorities from Illinois. Minnesota and Iowa. The whole region of the Upper Mis sissippi Valley, commonly known ' as the Middle West, la facing at this time a peculiar problem in the comparative arrest of its growth In population. These statea are practically at a standstill In the matter of population increase, "The significance of this condition Is simply that these states have passed their pioneer stage, which has been marked off by the exhaustion of their supply of cheap land. The land will no longer respond to the ordinary methods of agriculture. "In almost every ease It can be shown from the census returns that these states have had at least one dec ade, after their population had attained very respectable proportions. In which that population went up so rapdlly as to double In a single ten-year period. -We And that Ohio more than doubled her population between 1810 and 1830. and nearly doubled It again between li and 1830: that Indiana more than doubled in the "30b.' and fully doubled once more In the "40s: that Illinois nearly doubled In the "40s": that Iowa more than trebled In the "SO.' and more than doubled again In the "0s": that Wisconsin. Minnesota and Kansas all bad their decades of es pecially rapid growth. "Now during the entire period the In crease haa been so large that these so cieties have regarded themselves aa rapidly growing societies. That is why they feel so keenly the revelation of the recent Federal census, which sug gests that the great problem In the fut ure will be to find ways of once more introducing a gain In population. "To carry out the comparison, the State of Oregon haa now reached the point where, as suggested by the his tory of other Western States. It can hope to grow most rapidly. Indeed. If history Is any guide In these matters, we are fully warranted In expecting that the decade 1910-19:0 will be Ore gon's time for developing its popula tion aud going over Into the seven figure column. "If we are to assume that this expec tation is reasonable, the Inference Is that It will be wise for the people of this slate to plan for this new time. All of our operalons. all of our Institu tions, all of our business enterprises, must be planned with reference to the fact that we ahall be operating for at least a generation on a rapidly rising tide of population. For. some years we can count upon It being so rapid as to put us near the 1.600.000 mark by 120." BLOOM FESTIVAL IS IDEA Walla Walla to Show Fruit Blossoms In Annual Fair. WALLA "WALLA. Wash.. Jan. .

SEF-ATORIAL FIGHT LOOMS IDAHO Democrats Court Support Mormons With Elimina tion of Dubois. of BORAH MAY BE IN RACE If Republican Legislature Wins Two Years Hence Borah Will Be Ills Own Successor Heyburn Not Likely to Oppose Him. BT C. B. ARNET. BOISE. Idaho. Jan. 28. (Special.) Idaho in Its 1J1J general election will choose a Legislature whose duty, amon other things, will be to elect a United States Senator for a term of six FATHER AND MOTHER OF HAZEL KLINE-TAYLOR, "WHO IS ATTACK ING FATHER'S WILL ON GROUND OF UNDUE INFLUENCE. s A p ' - II THE LATE SAMl'KL I years, to succeed William E. Borah, of Boise. , Idaho has had some peculiar experi ences In the choosing of United States Senators. At the first state election. In 18S0. she outdid all previous state elec tions, by electing four United States Senators. This came about In a pecu liar manner. The state was admitted to the Union on July 4. an election waa held In September and a Legislature met In October. Dubois, who had been a delegate to Congress, and Shoup. who had been elected its f'rst Governor, were the leading candidates for the Senate. Following closely In point of strength wss McConnell and Claggett. both North Idaho men. Neither Dubois nor Shoup had votes enough to elect them. In fact both of them together did not. They did have votes enough, how ever, and of the character that could not be swayed, to control the situation. As a result they mude an offensive and defensive elllance, Dubois pledged Phoup. and Shoup pledged Dubois that they would stand by each other until they forced enough votes to win. Sweet Gets Advice. Willis Sweet was. at that time, the member of Congress and was In Wash ington. Through conferences with Sen ators Chandler. Hoar. Hale and other authorities on privileges and elections, Mr. Sweet telegraphed Mr. Dubois that three Senators could be elected, one to serve from the date of election until March 4. 1891. one to serve from the date of election to March 4. 1895, one to serve from March 4. 1891. to March 4. 197. ' This afforded the nucleus for the un raveling of the tangle they were In, and after a conference among them selves a deal was made with McCon nell. by which Dubois was to have a lona- term. bealnninK March 4. 1891, and McConnell and Shoup to draw for the term beginning at once and ending, the one in the following March and the other four years later. The deal went through and the Secretary of State is sued the certificate of election to these three gentlemen. Shoup resigned as Governor and Lieutenant-Governor Wllley succeeded him, Dubois bided his time until March 4 should come about, while McConnell and Shoup proceeded Immediately to Washington to determine which ohould receive the four months and which the four years and four months' term. In this drawing Shoup was successful, he drew the long term ending March 4, 1895. while McConnell drew the short term ending on March 4, 1891. Claggett Is Elected. Immediately after these elections and owing to some disappointment In county division legislation, several members of the Legislature made affi davits, held Investigations, the result of which was the formation of a com bination of both partlea In the election of Claggett to the long term in the Senate, aa a contestee of Dubois. ' He went to Washington. March 4. and pur sued his contest diligently until the fol lowing Summer, when the Senate by a pronounced vote declared Dubois the duly elected Senstor. During the four years of service to gether Dubois and Shoup became com panion colleagues. Both were Kepublt cana and each had a strong personal following at home. Through a misun derstanding between them, to which Congressman Sweet was a party. Sweet became a candidate for the Senate four years later. But n tne final outcome Shoup defeated him. Two years later, when Dubois came up for election, the silver fight" was on, ha had abandoned his party and become a member and officer of a new National party of "Sil ver Republicans." Shoup had remained a Republican. Dubois waa finally de feated by Henry Heltfeld. a Populist, from North Idaho. Four years later Mr. Dubois, aa a "Silver Republican." and Mr. Shoup, as a Republican, came up against each other In the contest for Senatorshlp. The bitterness of their respective friends and the issues they represented hsd not served to molest in the slightest their personal friend ship and admiration one for the other. During the Fall of 189 two special trains arrived at the Boise de pot, one with delegates to a Repub lican convention, and the other with delegates to a Silver Republican con vention. These men, headed by silver cornet bands, formed In procession, sev eral hundred strong, and marching up Tenth street to Mai, the Republicans took the north side and the Silver Republicans the south side of the street. Dubois won lit the contest and was re elected to the Senate In Two years later Senator Heyburn from North Idaho defeated Shoup. Borah, Standrod, and four years thereafter Senator Borah, Re publican, defeated Dubois, who had since become a Democrat. Elections Full of Interest. Idaho has had seven Senatorial elec tions. All have been attended with usual Interest, and little scandal has attached to any of them. The two Senators from Idaho today are Republicans. Senator Heyburn lives at Wallace In the north, and Senator Borah. In Boise, the south of Idaho. Although both Republicans, it would be scarcely possible to find two men at home or In the Senate who as cordially disagree with each other as them two men. Both are strong men In their personal and political convictions. Bach haa a positive following. Senator Heyburn can be measured as an extreme standpatter. Senator Borah talks and usually votes with the Insurgent. Both are independent, eloquent, logical, clear and decisive. Both have made great suc cess at their profession, the law. Both have represented their constituents with comparative satisfaction. Senator Borah will undoubtedly succeed himself. If his party wins the Legislature two years hence. Against him will be the Democratlo party of the state, headed by Governor Hawley and Chairman Nugent. For the first time since Idaho was admitted to the Union Senator Dubois will not be a factor In the Senatorial election. Thla means more than the mere suggestion In dicates, for the reason that, wffen In the fight against Borah before, he precluded the possibility to himeelf of receiving any votes from the six southeastern counties of the stato. controlled by the Mormons. His struggle against the Mor mons served to unite them with the Re publicans of Idaho. Now that he Is ell- sasavM KLINE AND MRS. KLINE. mlnated from the situation, the Democ racy of the state Is courting this potent political Influence. It to reaching out, and with much evident success, for the Mormons. The Democrats have an' even break of the Senators from these six southeastern counties and of the mem ber as well, in the present legislative session. State Naturally Republican. Without regard to this vote, and as suming that It might divide evenly be tween the two parties; neither of which is threatening to menace the situation, the state is naturally Republican. Senator Borah, therefore, appears to have the best of the situation. While there Is no harmony on public matters between he and Senator Heyburn. it is not to be presumed that Heyburn will oppose him. He will undoubtedly receive the strength of his party. He is a de voted advocate of an income tax, elec tion of United States Senator by direct vote of the people, direct primary and other eipecles of reform which are on rec ord "as cardinal principles of Insurgency. Like his colleague, he has no hesitancy of speaking his mind In and out of the Senate. ' VICTIM SAVED BY BOTE TRIO ARRESTED CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED BLACKMAIL.

BROTHER IS BITTER Sister's Character Attacked in Will Contest. MARRIAGE BROKER FAILS Evidence Is That Mrs. Klcln-Taylor Had Views of Her Own Testa tor's Ambition to Be Gover nor Is Disclosed. rnnvAlXlS. Or.. Jan. 28. (Special.) Bitter has been the contest over the will of the late Simon L. Kline, which 1 has consumed the greater part or tne week before Judge Harris in the Circuit- Court here. Defending the suit brought by his sister to break the will of their father, who almost disinherited her because of her marriage to a man of a different religious faith, the broth er of Mrs. Hazel Kline-Taylor attacked his sister's character, going back to a time when the young woman was only 12 years old and lived In Corvallis. The proceedings came to sudden end yesterday because .of the absence of Mrs. Emma L. Kline, the mother, who Is said to be In San Francisco. The daughter, who is seeking to break "the will, contends that undue influence was brought .to bear upon her father, and that he really had forgiven her after she was divorced from . Taylor. The contestant was born in Corvallis, was educated at Mills' Seminary and Is an accomplished musician. In her father's will she was cut off with a bequest of $5000 and two lots that had been sold prior to the death of the testator. Memories Overcome Witness. Mrs. Kline-Taylor was on the stand a full -day. Under examlnaton forced by her brother's side, in which she was asked concerning certain Incidents of her early life, she was overpowered by her emotions and broke down and sobbed on the witness stand. There was evidence concerning the alleged discrimination between her and her brother in the father's will, based on the father's displeasure over her mar riage to Taylor, who was a Gentile. Letters were submitted and a witness to the signature of the will testified to the effect that the elder Kline de sired that his daughter should marry a young man of her own faith, and -that when informed of her marriage to Tay lor, he went at once to San Francisco and spent six weeks in an endeavor to annul the marriage. Failing in this, the witness said. Mr. Kline at once wrote a new will, called in two friends to witness the docu ment and indicated to them his dis approval of his daughter'a act. This fact was brought out in the testimony of Charles Schlesslnger, one of the witnesses to the signature of the will. There was testimony also to the ef fect that after the daughter had ob tained a divorce from her Gentile hus band, Mr. and Mrs. Kline engaged the services of a "schadkln," or profes sional marriage broker, under whose direction Mrs. Kline-Taylor was taken to New York, and stayed at several leading Jewish hotels and apartment houses, with a view of meeting and becoming acquainted with a young man of the Jewish faith. Money Paid to Broker Wasted. Letters Introduced in evidence told of the payment of large sums to Mrs. Relnsteln. the marriage broker, and of the failure to accomplish anything, be cause Hazel had a will of her own and Insisted upon making - her own choice. One of the incidents of the hear ing was the disclosure In some of the letters of the ambition of Mr. Kline to be Governor of Oregon. The lan guage used In the trial was so plain at times that the presiding judge seriously had under consideration the advisability of excluding all minors from the court room. Missing witnesses will be. examined before a commissioner In San Fran cisco and arguments will be heard In March. A decision is expected In April. E. R. Bryson and J. Yates repre sent the estate and Charles J. Schnabel and F. W. Stadter, of Portland, repre sent the contestant. Cornelius Resident Is Dead. FOREST GROVE. Or., Jan. 28. (Spe cial.) George T.
