SALEM. Or- Aug. 10.' (Special.) With the oft-repeated declaration: of - Governor West that he .will not be a candidate for re-election, -the- mush room booms for gubernatorial honors which are springing up all . over, the I state, assume some general interest, al though the election for that office Is two years away. So far none of the supposed candi- dltea has committed himself as to his possibility for the high honor, but many friends of the various possibilities are assiduously grooming them for the coming race. - There are some who intimate that . Governor West may be repentant of his ' oft-stated declaration when the cm ; clal moment comes and that he may i again enter the race, but this is per sistently denied from the executive of fices, and those who are close to the Governor express the - belief that he has no intention of becoming a candi date again. - N Feasible I.ophole Seea. Practically each time, in making the statement that he Intends to retire from politics at the end of his present term, be has said that there are some moral and political reforms which he desires to see carried out. This Is con sldered as a possible loophole on hi part to be taken advantage of If he ever does desire to run for re-electlon. but that he has any desire of becoming a candidate again at the present time seems to be furthest from his thoughts. The Republican field seems to be fertile with suggested candidates this early in the game. Friends of A. M. Crawford. Attorney-General, state that he will be a candidate for the office. He neither affirms nor denies this re port. For some years it has been con ceded about the state capital that tho Attorney-General has been grooming himself to be in a position to run for the Governorship when the psychologl cal moment arrives and it is understood that the Attorney-General believes that moment will be at the election of 1914. Tilts with members of the State Board, with Governor West In partlcu lax. have demonstrated to a certain ex tent the attitude of the Attorney-Gen FORTLASD MAW NAMED MAN AGER OF CO - OPERATIVE STORE AT O. A. C A. F. Eaefcrich. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE, Corvallis. Aug. 9. (Spe cial.) F. JL Eschrlcht, of Port eland, a graduate from the Agri cultural College with the class of -1912, has been employed as man-' ager' of the' college bookstore. This is looked upon as being the first definite step towards -the organization of the student co operative store. Ever since the college store was opened three years ago there has been a growing demand on the part of the students for a co operative store. The matter was given careful consideration last year, and a committee was ap pointed to investigate the situa tion and to confer with the col-, lege authorities. It was found inadvisable to attempt to organ ize a "co-op" this year, but it was believed that Mr. Eschrlcht would be- able to pave the way for organizing at the close of the present college year. Bnlldlnsr Contractor - and Head of Citizens' Committee Sends Ont '. Workers to Aid Cause to Return ' 'to Old Alder manic Plan. SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 10. (Special.) The question of whether Spokane elec- I tors are to vote on the overthrow oi the commission form of government now rest, with the local courts, with the probability of an appeal, whichever I way the decision goes. The effort to overturn the commls-1 slon government' and ' adopt the old Councilmanlc plan came to an official I head May 22 last, when T. G. Cooper, I a building contractor and head of a clt- liens' committee" that had Been at work I on the matter for months, filed with the City' Council petition' signed by 1 3395 voters asking that the proposed I charter changes' be' submitted to popu- I lar vote. The City Commissioners, two of whom helped to frame the new commission form charter, referred the - matter to the Corporation Counsel, who brought in an opinion that the petition was il legal and did not comply with the I state law, anil the plea for election was I then denied by unanimous vote of the Commissioners and the petition placed on file. From this decision Cooper ap pealed to the Superior Court with an application for a writ of mandamus to I compel the City Commissioners to grant I the election. Plaa Adopted Two Years An. Spokane adopted the-commission form of municipal government December 28, 1910. after a' more or less -stormy ef fort by the old city officials to defeat the movement. The present five Com- I mlssioners were chosen at an election held March 7. 1911, three for nearly five years and two -for nearly three years. The next municipal election will I be held in November, 1913. r-The first setback received by the I present Commissioners came when they I tried to secure the approval of the peo ple for a bond issue of $600,000 to build the new City Hall. The issue was defeated, and three months later was again submitted and turned down second time. That was in November of I last year. Rumblings of a recall then began to be heard and soon after the I first of the present year Cooper and his I i associates got together in a movement I to amend the charter or recall the I Commissioners.

This, ordinarily, would not be unusual. Right now, it is unusual unprecedented unknown in the history of Hudson agencies because current season models are always sold out and no more obtainable by the 10th of August, and because forthcoming season models are not ready for exhibition until September 1st. As a natural result of such conditions, the announcement of a Hudson automobile for sale at any price just at this particular time of year, would ordinarily cause general surprise. Therefore, the following offer will closely approach a sensation. To the first four buyers who call in person at our salesrooms, beginning tomorrow morning Monday, August 11, 1912 we will make immediate delivery of a New 1912 Self-Starting Hud son ".33," at 15 Less Than the Lowest Standard Cash Price for Which Hudson's Sell. . . . .....$1,750.00 Less 15 Per Cent .162.50 $1,587.50 three of them standard touring cars and one torpedo all of them five-passenger. x Never used perfect in every detail accom panied by factory guarantee backed by regular Neate & McCarthy service including standard equipment, i. e., top, glass front, self-starter, de mountable rims, one extra rim with tire irons, and electric lights. These Are, Compara tively, 1914 Models Under any other name you have to wait two years to get what the Hudson today offers. Three years hence you can probably get a car having features similar . to those of the New Self Starting Hudson "33" so far are they ahead of contemporary cars. In one Bense of the word therefore, you are get ting, in one of these cars, a 1914 model. The Car That Smashed Touring Records This is the car that some weeks ago attract ed so much attention from touring enthusiasts everywhere on account of its record - smashing performance by amateurs in the double transconti nental trip from New York to San Francisco over the southern route and back again to New York over the northern route. The Hudson is a stand ard, h I g li - c 1 a ss car In every particular. NOTE General Selling Agencies will please take note and act promptly by wire or phone if wanted. This offer will likewise appeal to investors, as these cars can be used for a season and easily sold for cash, or traded on a new one for as much as we now ask for them. NEATE & McGARTHY, Inc.

No less a . personage than W. S. - ITRen. of Oregon City, is also being talked of as a candidate. This, Mr. ITRen takes exception to, declining to be quoted, however. Some have urged that Mr. u Ren. In promoting a cab inet form of government, which would give the executive practically complete control of the state, was looking for ward to the time when he might be at the head of that cabinet. This pro posed cabinet form plan has been rele gated to the background for the time at least, however. When this suggestion was broached to Mr. TTRen on one of his recent vis its to the capital, he merely shook his head and smiled and again asked that ft be not quoted. While he is a pos sibility as a 1914 candidate it is un derstood ha Is far from being a prob ability. Ball Moose Mn Appears. Tihe name of Henry I Benson is coming from Southern Oregon among the names ' of other candidates that have been suggested. He has long been en the Circuit bench and has a state wide acquaintance. By virtue of his office as Secretary of State. Frank W. Benson, brother of Henry L Benson, was for a time Governor and the name f Benson would not be unfamiliar in that capacity if Judge Benson decides to make the race. George F. Rodgers. of Salem, is an sther of the many suggested possibill ties. He was considered for some time ss a candidate for Representative in Congress from the First district before the primaries last April, bnt decided not to run. He haa long been a Re publican but recently decided to tie up his political faith with the Bull Moose party. As temporary chairman of that organization at its meeting in Port land he took more or leas prominent part in the proceedings. ShouM that party meet with the sue. :ess which Mr. Rodgers fondly predicts It will have in Oregon, then he would be something of a factor in poUtlcal affairs tn.the state and his name as a sandldate for Governor might be worthy of more than passing notice.

Quick was about 80 years old, and deaf, and perhaps was somewhat child ish. It appears from the boy's story that the old man came to the Perrlne camp on the Bandon beach and was ordered away by the boy several times. but came back again. Tne noy says that once he climbed a tree to escape the old man. Apparently the boy was frightened and believed that he was forcert to use the sun. 1 On account of the extreme age of the victim and the extreme youtntui ness of the slayer, the officers have been puzzled as to what disposition should be made of the case. It is likely that the matter will rest as it Is now simply with the boy in tho custody of his father and under order of the court. Jackson's Population ClimDS. MEDFORD. Or.. Aug. 10. (Special.)
