TIIE SUNDAY OREG ONIAX, rOIlTXx XI, NOVEMBER 4, 1917. BOTH PARTIES SEEK TO CONTROL IDAHO Democrats Discuss Strength of Attorney-General Wal- ters for Senatorship. STATE LINEUP IN DOUBT John W. Eagleson, Republican State Treasurer, Suggested as Candi date for Governor Mr. Alex ander Is Cause of Worry. BOISE, Idaho. Nov. 3. (Special.) The political ambitions of a number of prominent Idahoans are to be made known within the next 30 or 60 days. Already the linking of names with the more important state offices has be come known here. Two reports that attracted attention ere that Attorney-General Walters, a Democrat, may be pushed forward for Senatorial honors and John W. Eajrle eon, present State Treasurer and a Re publican, may be launched as a candi date for the Gubernatorial nomination. The Democrats expect to retain pos (rssion of the state offices and elept a United States Senator and two Rep resentatives; the Republicans want to re-elect a Senator and Representatives which they now have and put their own Representatives back In the statehouse, which would mean control of the state government. Both sides seek a work ing majority in the Legislature, now In the hands of the Democrats. Sir. Borah Wants Help. Jfo secret is made of the fact that Senator Borah desires a strong state ticket nominated by the Republican party, not only for the good of the party with which he is affiliated, but for his own support. As a candidate for re-electionhe will have to bear the brunt of the battle and he has made It known that to make the fight suc tessful there should be a clean lineup from the top to the bottom of the Re publican ticket. It is conceded that Burton L. French and Addison T. Smith will be candidates to succeed them selves in Congress. While their plurali ties were cut in two at the last elec tion, both are confident their records in Congress will prove a leverage that will maintain them in their present seats despite all of the opposition the democrats can bring against them. State Treasurer Kagleson led the Re publican ticket at the last election. That is one of the reasons his friends are active in his behalf. They believe he is the logical man for the Repub licans to nominate as their state stand ard bearer. (Governor Alexander Vnannoimced. There is still a great deal of uncer tainty as to what Governor Alexander is going to do. His second term ex pires within a year. He has never committed himself as to the Senator ship. Thoie close to him believe he is likely to cast his lot in with other aspirants. In fact that is the one pos sibility worrying the backers of other Democrats who have Senatorial ambi tions. James H. Hawley, ex-Governor, is ' out Irtthe open as a candidate and has strong backing in many parts of the state. The only person so far mentioned as a possible Democratic candidate for Representative in Congress is that of Wi G. Supplnger. of Moscow. While Vice-President Marshall's visit to Boise Saturday was in the na ture of a lecture tour. Democratic lead ers did not overlook the opportunity to tender him a hearty welcome. He Is discussing war issues on the lecture platform, but Democrats believed no honor was too great to be paid him on the occasion of his first trip to their state. the first quota to the National Army, entrained yesterday morning for Camp Lewis: Hans T.

ABERDEEN CHIEF LAUDED City Officials Hope to Close Any t Place Where Liquor Is Sold. Skins From Poisoned Animals Best; Experiment Shows Eight Cam Be Stretched and Skinned In Hoar. REDMOND, Or., Nov. 3. (Special.) The despised crop destroyer, the Ore gon jackrabbit, is about to become a source of revenue to those now troubled with this voracious pest. Five years ago County Agent R. A. Ward sent two test bales of rabbit furs to Eastern manufacturers and received an offer of less than 1 cent -apiece for them. With the coming of the European war. shipments of foreign, rabbit skins were entirely cut off and a market was fpund for our Western Jackrabbit skins, but still the price hardly warranted the trouble and expense of skinning them. Last Winter Mr. Ward sent a commu nity shipment of about 3000 skins East, which netted the shippers 5 cents each. After negotiating with the Eastern manufacturers during the present Fail, he has received an order for 50,000 skins at 8 cents a skin for prime skins and 5 cents each for seconds. Last 'Winter, although 75,000' skins were asked for, less than 5000 were se cured. . Last year Mr. Ward maintained an assistant at an experiment station at Fort Rock, Lake County, who was able to skin and stretch eight rabbits an hour. Skins from poisoned rabbits are, if anything, better than those from shot, bruised or trapped rabbits, so homesteaders can poison several hun dred, pile them up frozen like cordwood until they have enough to spend a few days skinning. Skins should be taken off flat, not "cased." and care should be used not to tear them. Torn, bloody or mutilated skins will not be accepted. In order to concentrate this first shipment east to central points, Mr. Ward has requested those having hides for sale to send them to his office at Redmond. The skins should be dried by tacking them on a barn wall. This way they will dry flat and 100 or more can easily be packed in a gunnysack. CHURCHES TO HOLD UNION Governor to Speak at Dallas Meet lug This Morning. DALLAS, Or., Nov. 3. (Special.)

Wash.. Nov. 3. (Sne cial.) Mayor Roy Sargent, in a public Fiaiement in refutation of the charge that the police have winked at liquor law violators, made by Councilman Eraser, says he believes Chief Dean has been the most efficient Aberdeen has had. Dean is in Chicago now a witness in Federal cases against the I. W. W., and in his absence Mayor Sargent defends him against the charges by showing that he has made more arrests and obtained more con victions of violators than his prede cessor, who was considered a dry man. : Mayor Sargent says the police are seeking court orders to lock up places where the owner has been convicted of bootlegging. One such place has been locked up. LABOR SHORTAGE IS ACUTE Central Oregon Farmers Appeal to Portland for. Farm Labor. REDMOND. Or., Nov. -3. (Special.) The Central Oregon country is experi encing a labor shortage. According to County Agricultural Agent R. A. Ward requests for more than 100 men have been received at the county agent's of fice the past week.

LANE Park Officials Say Wild Animals Would Be Frightened and Tour ists Annoyed If Rights in Rainier Reserve Were Given. OLTMPIA. Wash., Nov. 3. (Special.) Notwithstanding the imperative de mand for supplies needed by the United States in order to win the war, and the world famine in mutton and wool now prevailing, the production of more sheep cannot be permitted in the West by opening remote sections of National parks to three months' Summer pas turage next year. Horace M. AJlbright, acting director ,of National Park serv ice at Washington. D. C, so rules in a formal communication to E. F. Benson, commissioner of the Washington. State Department of Agriculture. Mr. All bright gives the following reasons for this order: "Sheep utterly destroy wild flowers. At the present time there are no wild flowers in Crater Lake National Park, due to the fact that prior to the estab lishment of this area as aark, per mission was- given for the grazing of sheep therein. 0 "Sheep are very obnoxious to tourists. "Sheep frighten the wild animals which, as you doubtless know, are be coming very bold in the parks and, are not afraid of park officers and .tourists. "Sheep destroy trails- and increase the cost of maintaining and protecting the. park areas. Commissioner Benson, as a pioneer sheep grower of the Northwest, has expended a great deal of money and time in protecting his bands, from the bear, cougar and wildcats of Western mountains. He is now officially in formed from Washington, D. C, that these animals need and must have pro tection from the sheep. This ruling is given on a petition made by the state commissioner for the opening of a portion of Mount Rainier National Park not often visited by tourists, to Summer grazing next year. Mr. Benson showed that 40.000 sheep could thus be added to the tate's herds. which would mean an increase of 400, 000 pounds of wool in the year, and 40,000 more lambs annually f.or food, a total added valuation of $600,000 annu ally. He asked only that the conces sion be made for the war period, and strictly as a war measure to increase production of food and clothing. With out more Summer pasturage the herds caTnnot be increased. Upon receipt of AUbright's refusal to accept these considerations, the entire correspondence on the subject was gathered and forwarded by Governor Lister, with his own . official indorse ment of Benson's position, to Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the Interior, and Herbert Hoover. Fedecal food director. Secretary Lane Is head of the National Park Service. This appeal , includes vigorous reply to Mr. Allbright from Commissioner Benson. CLACKAMAS PIONEER DEAD William Phillips Crossed Plains to Oregon in 1818.
