"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

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-

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. '

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.
