Now that the campaign Is starting; '"on Its last week, leading candidates of , the leading parties are making active preparations for a final appeal to the voters. j . The Republican state committee yes " terday completed its schedules for both Governor, and for R. A. Booth, candi- date for United States Senator. Both candidates attended a Repub - 1iean rally at Hillsboro last night and ,- both will pass today qiuetly at their respective homes. Dr. Withycombe at Corvallis and Mr. Booth at Eugene. It is probable, however, that bot.i can didates will come to Portland today, as their, activities in the early part of j;ttie week will bs centered in 3dulc- 7.'iiomah County. Mr. Booth is scheduled to address the Portland Transportation Club at noon tomorrow and to attend a meei.tg at - Oregon City at night. He will be in Portland nearly all Tuesday, and on Tuesday night will address the trainmen at their annual dinner. ..-ill 1 ,1 i a 1' , , . 1 . . . nlcht rw Ilia .last trip into Southern Oregon. He -will be in Ashland on Wednesday, but -probably will make no formal speeches. On Thursday he will be in Medford and Friday in Grants Pass. Returning "to Portland, h will be '. here on Saturday, and the following nay will go to beaside lor a rest. Mr. Booth's campaign will be brought .to a close at Astoria Monday night, .when he will speak at a big Repub ,Jii'an rally, which also will mark the -lose of his campaign in the state. Dr. Withycombe Joined Mr. Booth at Hillsboro, last night, and upon his re .tiirn to Portland today will prepare for -another canvass of the vote in Mult ' nomah County. He will go to Astoria on Wednesday, but will pass Thursday and Friday in this city. On Saturday lie will be in McMinnville, on Sunday, November 1, in Corvallis and the next ."day, the eve of the election, in Port land. "The Piedmont Teachers' Booth Club was organized at a meeting of school teachers in the Piedmont district yes terday, at which Mrs. E. K. Hurd was elected president. r - The teachers are directing their ef forts to the election of R. A. Booth to 'the Senate, but are preparing to sup port the whole Republican ticket. Their interest in Mr. Booth's candidacy arises from the fact that he formerly was a .school teacher. A canvass of precinct No. 131 In -Multnomah County on the Congres sional situation revealed 103 votes for ; -McArthur, .17 for Lafferty and 17 for " Flegel. Lafferty carried this precinct in the primaries 36 to 18 over McArthur. . '. John Manning, one of the unsuccess ful candidates for the Democratic nom " inatlon for Governor last May, was the principal speaker at a Democratic' rally in the Public Library last night. J. M. Hawkins, a prominent business iroan of Albany, was in Portland yes terday and brought flattering reports to Republican headquarters. He said that he recently made a tour of Linn t'ounty 1 ii company with several can didates on the local legislative ticket. ' and that they found a strong sentiment everywhere favoring Booth. Withy comlie and the other Republican can didates. He is confident that Linn t-'ounty will give strong support to " the whole Republican ticket. l Is". McArthur, Republican Congres sional nominee, spoke half a dozen times on the public streets last night and gained much support from those Vho heard him. He continued his at tacks on the Democratic tariff legis lation, and promised that as a Repub lican he will, if elected, aid in restoring the duty on Oregon Industries so that 'the Oregon farmers and the Oregon worktngmen may be protected. . Mr. McArthur wiH"'speak in front of the Commercial Club in St. Johns to- morrow evening. He will contitJue his .street speaking programme through--out the .remainder of the week. . A political meeting will be conducted by the Alberta Woman's Improvement .Ciub on Tuesday evening at the home of Mrs. Josephine R. Sharp. Women Candidates for office are expected to attend. A musical programme will be offered. Tuesday evening. October 27, at 8 o'clock at the Mount Olivet Baptist v'hurch. Broadway and Everett streets, the Portland branch of the National ' Association for the Advancement of t'olored People will hold a public sym , posium. The public is invited and the -candidates who .are running for the various of f ices are invited to come out And make short speeches. The pro gramme will be interspersed by vocal and Instrumental solos. Betting on the local Congressional race indicates that McArthur. the Re publican nominee, is a strong favorite. One man about town yesterday offered to bet $1000 even on McArthur against 4he field, with no takers. Inasmuch as "there are two or three candidates in the field it is evident that the political uopesters figure McArthur has a strong . lead over all his opponents. William Hanley. Progressive Sena torial nominee, spoke last night at the Columbia Theater in St Johns. The rllanley campaign committee conducted the show throughout the evening and .admitted spectators free. Mr. Hanley -poke at the conclusion of the regular 'run of motion pictures. - Attention has been called by officers of the "Booth to Weinberger" Club that -the ballot numbers opposite the names rt two of the candidates indorsed by "the club have been printed wrong on the campaign cards now being distrib uted by the club among its prospective members. - The club's cards give the numbers of - Lawrence T. Harris and Thomas A. Mc Bride. Republican candidates for the . Supreme Court, as S3 and S4, respect ively, when, in fact, they are 36 and 38, respectively. O. W. Barzee. a member of the So cialist party, has issued a challenge "to George C Mason, manager of the Non-Partisan League, for a debate on he industrial (right to work) measure. Mr. Barzee suggests that the debate be held in the Public Library or any "other place at an early date of his own choosing. Mr. Barzee and Mr. Mason recently discussed the measure before the Bast Side Business Men's Club. A careful estimate of the probable vote of Mills Precinct, at Klamath Falls, IClamath County, has been made byjthe precinct committeeman. On the vote for Governor he estimates that Withycombe will get from 115 to 135 and Smith from" 45 to 60 votes. For Senator, Booth will get from 90 to 110. Chamberlain from 40 to 60 and Hanle.4 from 15 to 25. In writing to the state committee he says that no Republican will fall below this estimate and no Democrat will get more votes than the maximum figures given above Glen O. Taylor, an attorney of Med ford. in writing to the Republican state committee, says: "The feeling seems to be quite general among the voters of the party here that they have given over control of National, state, county and city administrations to the minor ity party far too long and they are now determined to take charge of what rightfully belongs to the majority party." In writing the secretary of the Repub lican State Central Committee regard ing Senator Booth's recent trip through Crook County, Lake M. . Bechtell, of Prineville, says: "Mr. Booth made a great many new votes here and not only that,' but he held many that were wavering, for he proved to be a much better campaigner and speaker than many of our people had any idea he was. We certainly appreciate the hon or of his visit. From my personal ob servations gained in a two days' trip all over the county, I feel that both Mr. Booth and Dr. Withycombe will carry Crook County at the election November 3. Tom A. Sweeney, candidate for Coun ty Commissioner, made a trip through the eastern part of the county Fri- day, visiting Troutdale, Gresham and Fairview, conducting a campaign in his own behalf and, in the behalf of Wil liam Haney, candidate for the United States Senate. The advisory board and officers of the newly organized Colored Women's Republican Club met at the home of the president, Mrs. L. K. Weeks, on Thursday afternoon and arranged for a general meeting of their members at the Public Library next Monday night at 8 o'clock. Dr. James Withy combe and C. N. McArthur, the Re publican nominees for Governor and Representative in Congress, respect ively, will speak. Owing to a previous engagement, R. A. Booth, the Senatorial candidate, will not attend. tut he will be represented by S. B. Huston. Invitations are be ing extended to all the colored women in Portland to attend next Monday's meeting and affiliate with the club. RANKIN FUNERAL TODAY FATHER. OF CAPTAIN TO BE LAID AT REST AT RIVERVIEW. Xative of Sweden Led Sea Life From Time He was 14 to 1906, W hen He Received Pension, When about to sail from San Fran cisco for Portland Thursday Captain Oliver P. Rankin, master of the steamer Rose City, received a telegram that his father. John Rankin, of this city, had died, so on the arrival of the liner here yesterday Captain Rankin completed arrangements for the funeral, which will be held at 2:30 o'clock this after noon from Flnley's undertaking rooms, the interment being at Rlverview Ceme tery. " Mr. Rankin came from a line of sea faring men; and himself followed the calling from the age of 14 years until 1906, when ho retired and has since en joyed a pension from the 0.-V. R. & N. service. He had lived to be 76 years of age. Born in Sweden, his first voy age was aboard a deepwaterman that departed from near his home, and there after he sailed in many ships, always under the British flag. Immediately after the Civil War he crossed overland to trie Pacific Coast. He had sailed with trie old tea clippers between the Orient and Europe and the East Coast- One voyage he made from Portland was in 1873, when he signed aboard the Victoria Cross, which car ried grain to the English Channel. He had enjoyed steamship experience in 1866 when he was a member of the crew of the famous Great Eastern, which laid the first successful Atlantic cable, and after his cruise on the Victoria Cross he was on the Ajax, Oroflamme and John Lf. Stevens, pioneer steamers on the Pa cific, then to the steamer Oregon on the Portland-San Francisco route, where he was for 15 years, and later on the steamer Columbia, from which he re tired in 1906. Besides Captain Rankin, a widow. Mrs. Hedda Rankin, and two daughters. Mrs. Anna M. Hamann and Miss Ellen H. Rankin, survive. Pallbearers will include E. J. Mooney. chief engineer of the steamer Rose City; i John Rankin. "Whose Funeral la to Be Held Today. Peter Smith, superintending stevedore for the San Francisco & Portland fleet here; J. Anderson, a former shipmate of the deceased, with E. H. Dahl, F. Drews and F. Goeta. ALLEGED FUGITIVE TAKEN Watch Kxposed to Detectives Is Rec ognized as Stolen .Property.

DIGGER TO BE TRIED Strict Test of Government Dredge Michie Ordered. FEDERAL EXPERTS HERE Craft to Be Operated -Ott Bar and Inside to Determine Changes Xeeded Harbor Trials Here Probable. To undergo severe tests in handling material and to have her machinery passed on as to every detail when she is working on the bar as well as in quiet water inside, the Government dredge Col. P. s. Michie left Coos Bay at 10 o'clock eaterday morning for Astoria. She will remain In the river until Spring, by which time it is ex- PORTLAND DISPATCHES CARGO OF FOODSTUFFS TO SOUTH AFRICA FOR FIRST TIME IN NUM BER OF YEARS. BRITISH STEAMER SOUTH PACIFIC. Few who saw the British tramp South Pacific steaming down' the harbor yesterday on her way to the mighty body of water for which she was named realized that she carried the Xicst shipment of flour and wheat that Portland -has sent to South Africa In more than 10 years. She was dispatched by Kerr, Grfford & Co., with 6000 barrels of flour valued at $24,000 and 194,025 bushels of wheat at $194,000, which will be discharged at Cape Town. 4The South Pacific came here .via the Panama Canal, but this time she sails by way of the Straits of Magellan. pected that many changes will be made In her equipment. It As planned to have the Michie undergo . tests for two or three weeks. W. C. McGowan. designer in the office of the Chief of Engineers, at Wash ington, I. C, and who designed the digger, is here, with Leroy H. Potter, a practical dredge superintendent, who engaged by the Government, and who has been stationed for years at New York, where he directed the Am brose channel project. Major Morrow, Corps of Engineers, XT. S. A., in charge of tlie First District, ordered the Michie here at once for Inspection by the Gov ernment men, who will be joined by representatives of Eastern machinery builders, who desire to report on the dredging mechanism of the vessel. Columbl Test - Ordered. The first arrangement was to con duct the tests at Coos Bay, but the fact that the Michie. did not work there steadily this month prompted the change of scene to be made. It Is felt certain that the Columbia River bar will calm down enough for the Michie to operate and the Columbia provides great space Inside where the dredge can dig and. maneuver. Just what changes and improvements are -to be made will be outlined by Mr. McGowan and Mr. Potter. It is not improbable that the Michie will pass part of her time in Portland, as it has been suggested that the Port of Portland Commission employ her while she is held In the river to dredge in the harbor. The Michie car ries material to sea for dumping when engaged in bar and channel dredging and might be used here advantageously clearing lumps from in front of certain docks and depositing the ma terial in deep holes downstream. In the event satisfactory places are not found for getting rid of the dredging in the stream the Michie might assem ble them at a point where one of the Port of Portland dredges could, in turn, pump the material ashore. Dredging Report Penda. The matter of dredging the harbor is regarded as a serious one, and the commission has delved into it exhaust ively, but one of the main difficulties Is to find room beneath docks or on unoccupied land along the harbor front where a suction .dredge could dump material taken from between the harbor lines. A report, if completed in time, is to be considered at the next meeting, as to the advisability of con structing a dredge, that could dig ma terial on much the same system as the Michie's equipment, but also equipped with a pipeline outlet so thai she could steam to lowland and divert the ma terial ashore. One of the principal reasons given by exporters for certain large steamers being sent to Puget Sound to load grain Is that they can not be berthed at one or two docks here owing to their draft. CHARTER RATE IS ADVANCED Soma nth a Cleared With Wheat Val ,ued at More Than $ t a Bnshel- Grain freights exhibited an upward tendency during the last cf the week and the latest fixture reported, that of the Norwegian bark Bolgen. by M. H. Houser, was done at 33s 9d. The lor wegian bark Peter XJgland was taken at 30 shillings for Portland or Puget Sound loading, and the British steamer Fornebo was fixed by Kerr-Gifford at 35 shillings to load on Puget Sound. Captain Halverson will get under way today for England with the .Nor wegian .bark Semantha, which was cleared yesterday by the Portland Flouring Mills Company with a wheat cargo of 13o, 207 bushels of wheat val ued at $148,728. which is the highest valuation placed on grain shipped from here this season. The British ship Queen Elizabeth arrived up last even ing in tow of the steamer Ocklahama. and went to Linnton to discharge bal last. The Urania was shifted from the drydock to the elevator, where she starts working grain tomorrow. FORCE GROWS OX THE CAXAL The Dalles-Celllo Project Poshed by 7 50 Active Workers. Engaged in the construction of The Dalles-Celilo Canal are 750 men, the force having been gradually increased from 500 two weeks ago, but there will be no more employed, as It Is proposed to push the project with all haste with the workers on the ground. A year ago there were fully 1500 men on the same job, but much of the work was finished, ffO they were dropped to a large" extent before funds were depleted, so the camps were shut down in the Summer. The 11 pairs of gates required for the locks have been hung and it is promised that finishing work on them will be ended by November 15. Calcu lations are now that the ditch will be ready to handle vessels about June 1, and by- then some new ventures in steamboating may be announced, as several enterprises are said to be brew ing for through service from the upper Columbia to Portland and the lower river. FRENCHMAN GOES, TO EIGHT Vosemlte Carries Enthusiastic Ite . crnit Answering Call to Arms. Frank Bollam, Portland agent for the independent passenger vessels, is won dering if he has failed to preserve neu trality and may become involved with the State Department because he as sisted John Martini, an avowed native of France, who declared that he was en route home to fight with the allies, on his way. Mr. Bollam provided Mar tini with passage on the steamer. Wil lamette Friday, but he turned up again yesterday with a report that while he was in a joyous state because of his good fortune in getting started for France he had been relieved of his transportation. ? He said he was on his way to San Francisco to Join his brothers and' others bound for the. firing line and that once with that detachment he would be free from financial embar rassment. Mr. Bollam issued a second ticket on the steamer Tosemite, on which Martini embarked yesterday, and has quieted his conscience by saying that as the man was only going to Sun Francisco he could not be accused of assisting him to the scene of war. NEW POST LIGHTS ORDERED Oil Night Marks Kavored in River Rather Than Bright Gas. . Pleased with the workings of a new type of oil lanterns used as post lights on the river, Henry I. Beck. inspector of the Seventeenth Lighthouse District, has forwarded an order to the New York buoy station and expects to have the lights here shortly. Two are burr- Ing on the Tongue Point Crossing, an other is used on Willapa Harbor, and fourth on Grays Harbor. During a heavy gale the last of September, when maximum of more than 90 miles an hour was reached, the lights were nut blown, out, and they are believed to be the proper pattern for this district. The lights are an improvement over the common oil lights generally used, though the fact they are -60 per cent brighteris not regarded with so much favor as that they withstand the wind. A gas light also is being tried to serve as a post lantern, but Mr. Beck holds that a bright light is not required in the channel between Portland and the Tongue Point Crossing, and an oil light Is desired by pilots. Gas has an ad vantage, he says, because it can be made, a flashing light to distinguish it. One trouble contended with has been channel changes, either through shift ing or the plan of the Government and Port of Portland in making cuts, so it has been Impracticable to maintain more attract! structures for such lights than posts or piling. CHINOOK MAY DREDGE A.GAIN Bar Dredger Held Inside Most of Mouth by Weather. East wind prevailing during the past few days was depended on to smooth down the bar so the Government dredge Chinook could return to the entrance for work during the coming week, as she is expected to be withdrawn from service November 1. Late reports re ceived from the vessel show that she has been engaged on Flavel Shoal since early in the month, the condition of the bar not having been favorable for her operation. ith necessary funds on hand the Government dredges Clatsop. Multno mah and Wahkiakum will be kept in service on the channel between Astoria and the mouth of the Willamette until high water forces a suspension of digging. The same system will be fol lowed on the Willamette above Oregon City in working on shoals as long as possible. Marine Notes. Save for a heavy westerly swell weather conditions met with by trav elers on the steamer Rose City, arriv ing yesterday from California, were normal. Clear skies were reported. The vessel had a fair list and close to 1000 tons of cargo. Aboard the steamex r-aralso, sailing last night, were grain, merchandise and lumber for San Francisco, and 100 tons of merchandise for Coos Bay. The steamer Geo. W. Elder came in from Coos Bay with SO tons of cargo and was cleared for Coos Bay and Eureka with 305 tons. The steamer Saginaw was cleared for San Pedro and Ven tura with 700.000 feet of lumber and 100,000 shingles. United States Inspectors Edwards. and Fuller yesterday began an investi gation into the loss of the steam schooner Rochelle, which struck on Clatsop Spit Wednesday night, turned over and caught fire. Testimony was given by officers of the ship and Pilot Mathews, who brought her into the river. R. Thornton, second officer; J. Par sons, thirdof ficer, and Edward Beck, an apprentice, of the crew of the Brit ish steamer South Pacific were left in a hospital here when she sailed yester day, they being sufferers from typhoid fever. - v News From Oregon Ports.
