' -. ! 17; - ' iH -1 ' Milt : PA : ! . , l This -week the presidential cam paign in Oregon gets under way. , Re publicans and democrats have se lected headquarters in the Morgan building and the preliminaries will begin. State and county headquar ters of the republicans are consoli dated and the same arrangement has been effected by the democrats. By this plan the national committeeman, state chairman, secretary and execu tive committee, county chairman and executive committee will be in close a-nd constant touch. Not until September will the cam paign warm up, btif during August there are many details to work out. In August there are so many persons In the mountains, the country or at the seashore that the campaign man agers are convinced that it is a hope less task to try to interest voters in political rfneetings and speakers. August Quiet Month. August will be devoted by the state republican organization to publicity and the building up of a skeleton or ganization for clubs. With the com ing of September the club movement will be under way and there will be a network of republican clubs spread ing out over the state In every town. By a combination of state and county committees and the clubs, a working force will be developed which will place Oregon solidly in the republican column, as usual. Thomas H. Tongue Jr., state chairman, is working on the theory that while the state will go re publican anyway, the thing to do is to make the majority as big as pos sible. Through the bureau of publicity, the public i3 to be reached in August. The function of this bureau is to ac quaint the voters with information as to candidates and the platform and principles of the republican party. When September arrives and the clubs are organized and ready, the bureau of speakers will get into ac tion. This bureau, during August, will select a list of local speakers to appear before clubs throughout the state and will get in touch with the national committee regarding speak ers to be sent here from other states. Several Oregon men will go into other states on the stum-p. C. L. McNary, United States senator, will speak in Montana and Idaho, and possibly a few others. W. L. Tooze Jr., will speak in the east under the direction of the national committee. Hiram W. Johnson. United States senator of California, will come to Oregon as a champion of Harding and Coolidge, according to information given by Sanfield MacDonald. Johnson's man ager in Oregon during the primaries. . Stanfleld to Be Backed. Special efforts will be put forth by rhe state organization to elect R. N. Stanfield to the United States senate. The appeal will be made to republi cans to vote the ticket straight; that if they are consistent to republican principles they cannot vote for Hard ing and Coolidge and not vote for the republican nominee for senator. The state committee will manage Mr. Stanfield's campaign. Woman are taking a full share in the deliberations of the two campaign committees this year. They are no longer placed in a secondary position and called "advisory." The women are on the executive committees with the men and have an equal voice in the deliberations and planning of the campaign. In the democratic camp the pro cedure is somewhat akin to that be ing mapped out by the republicans, with the exception that the democrats have been advised that their presi dential ticket. Cox and Roosevelt, will visit Oregon in person. Mr. Roose velt is expected to come to Oregon the latter part of August, but no positive dates have been announced. J. L. Day, republican county chair man, has issued a call for the county executive committee to meet in head quarters Thursday night. The con gressional committee, in charge of C. N. McArthur's campaign, will meet and organize Wednesday night. SCCCESSOR SOT YET NAMED Prospect for New Postmaster Soon Rather Dubious. There is still no prospect of a new postmaster being' appointed soon for Portland. Postal Inspector Barclay Is still managing the office, although he expected to be relieved a month ago. There were 22 applicants for the appointment and these have been interviewed by inspectors and the re ports forwarded to Washington, D. C where the applicants will be rated according to the findings of the in spectors and the names submitted to the postmaster-general. The postmaster-general is expected to make a recommendation from the list and the president makes the ap pointment. Congress having ad journed, there are persistent rumors afloat that the president will make a recess appointment. EHATDRS TO V1SITSJATE CHAMBEEMDT AND McXiRY TO GATHER INFORMATION. Jaants of Both Solons to Lead to Every Section to Find Out Xeeds of Their Constituents. Oregon's Quota of United States senators will go afield this month to gather first-hand information regard- ng the needs of the state. Senator Chamberlain plans a statewide tour by automobile. He will enter the state via Crescent City, along the coast road on the edge of Curry coun ty, into Coos Bay, and theme all along the coast. Later he will traverse the Willamette, Umpqua and Rogue river valleys, then penetrate central and eastern Oregon. Senator Chamberlain starts this week and plans to be on the road for month. Few speeches have been arranged for, but If invited by com mercial clubs the senator will respond. Senator McNary also will renew ac quaintance with the state, and, like his colleague, will first visit the rivers and harbors, then go into southern Oregon. After a rest in Salem he will swing into central and eastern Ore gon. - Senator McNary has planned no political talks. The senators say that they wish to take advantage of the congressional adjournment to find out exactly the conditions in Oregon to the end that they will be better equipped to look after the state's interests when they return to Washington.

The Granite road extending from Granite to the Baker county line has been completed and, according to those who have made the trip over It. it Ls one of the best mountain roads in the country. W orkers have been employed on this road since the f.rst of last May. The total cost i estimated at $3600. 11500' of which w as subscribed by Grant county. Jlioo by the "hitman forest service and iG0 by the citizens of Granite. He owns and drives a bis Hudson super six back lu Washington, D. C but be will make his drive for votes in Oregon at the vrbeel of tbts Ford, The senator-will leave Portland tomorrow in his Ford, accompanied by Don McPherson as relief driver and Ralph Watson, on a tour to Crescent City, Cal., and back up the Oregon coast via Gold Beach, Bandon. rsrookings, Coquille, Marsh field and way points.

So he will take along a camping outfit, sleep where night overtakes him, meet the voters incidentally and make a leisurely tour of it. He expects to return to Portland in about two weeks and later will tour otner parts of the state in bis Ford. ' a full and complete and comprehen sive investigation will have been had and a measure submitted to the legis lature which will be supported by the results of the Investigation. Under the contract it is agTeed that the bill shall provide for the elimina tion of all seines and set nets from the Rogue river. Inasmuch as the bill that was passed by the 1917 legis lature and defeated by the people and the bill that was passed In 1919 and vetoed by Governor Withycombe pro vided for nothing else but the elimi nation of seines and set nets, the upper river men feel that they have made great progress in establishing an agreement on this point. The contract also provides for a shortening of the commercial fishing season and a later date at which com mercial fishing shall be commenced in the Rogue river. The real differ ences between the parties to the con tract seem to narrow principally to the time when commercial Ashing shall commence. The concession of fered by the canneries as to when fishing shall commence Is not accept able to the upper river men nor to the government representatives operating the Elk creek hatchery. It is con tended by them that commercial fish ing should not commence until June 15, which is 60 days later than the opening of the present season. Among vthose who will make the trip are the following: Judge E. D. Briggs, Louis Dodge and Harry Hos ier of Ashland; George Mansfield, D. M. Lowe, Senator C. M." Thomas and C. M. Kidd and others. Any members of the association or citizens of the county interested in this subject are invited by the committee to go and requested to communicate with George Mansfield, president. RICH GOLD BODY FOUND PROMISING ORE IS UNCOVERED NEAR GOLD II ILL. Strike Said to Insure Future Sta bility of Sylvanite Mines Now Under Lease. GOLD HILL, Or., July 31. (Spe- sial.) The uncovering of a large body of rich ore In the Sylvanite group of gold mines two miles north of Gold Hill, under lease to Victor W. Brown and associates of Pittsburg, Pa., and owned by J. W. Davies and ocal people. Insures the future sta bility of these mines. This property is the only quartz mine at present in active operation in this region. Gold mining has been almost wholly sus pended In this district since 1914, excepting the large hydraulic placer mines which have extensive water rights. The new find was made in the lower level of the old works, at a depth of more than 500 feet, running in value from $2C to $50 a ton in gold and silver, and compares favorably with the rich galena ores of the southwest states. The several mines constituting the group, known as the Simmons, Cheney, Haff, ; and Ray mines, have been extensive gold pro ducers for 30 years, but worked in a crade way until the present owners arid lessees began development. ' There has been considerable interest in this property since the discovery in 1S16 of tungsten along with the gold ore? by Ray & Haff of Gold Hill, who were operating the mine. The mineral occurs In small stringers with quartz and ore running from 2 to 40 per cent tungsten was extracted. The veins carrying the best grade of tung sten have been developed only to a small extent and the tungsten re sources of the- mine, therefore, have not yet been determined.

ELKS MAKE NO APOLOGY SALEM LODGE COMMENTS RECENT CONVENTION. ON Resolution Blames "Certain Rough and Unscrupulous Persons" Tat ing Advantage of Session. SALEM. Or., July 81. (Special.) That Salem lodge No. 336, Elks, has no apology to make for any act or deed committed by or authorized to be done by the lodge, its members or the state association during the recent state convention of the order neld In this city was set out in i resolution prepared by a special com mittee of the local lodge of Elks following a special meeting of the organization held here last night. The resolution, 'n part, follows: "We deplore the fact that certain rmirh and uuscrupulous persons took advantage of the occasion to carry out their unlaw ful Bckemea to thef detriment of the peace ana dignity or our fair city. We cheerfully submit, however, the personnel of Salem lodge No. 33 for comparison wnn any otner organization of like char acter aa to its American citizenship, patrt otism and law-abiding qualities. The resolution further et forth that criticism had been made of cer tain acts during the convention, but that these acts, if committed, were not sanctioned by the lodge. Also that at no time during the conven tion was there within the Jurisdic tion of the lodge rooms of the Salem lodge, club or any place under the management of the state convention or Salem lodge any unpatriotic, un lawful or improper act performed to the knowledge of the lodge.

The resolution was by E. W. Hazard, T. B. Kay, P. H. Olinger, Charles R. Archerd, M. T. Meyers, Arthur S. Benson and V T. Wrightman.

Strawberries to Be Grown. CHEHALIS. Wash.. July 31. (Spe cial.) Fifty acres of land have been bought by a Seattle man by the name of Harrison near Mound Prairie, ar.d it is understood will be set to straw berries. The land is now being I his plowed and gotten Into proper shape, themselves beaten Frank S. Myers, deposed postmaster of Portland, has notified democratic offclals that he will be a candidate for United States senator In Novem ber. Myers, although supporting Cox and Roosevelt, Is not supporting Sen ator Chamberlain for re-election. He is not only not supporting Chamber lain dui is out with an ax after him. According to current Brossin in dem ocratic circles. Myers intends to be an independent candidate, to "vindi cate" himself, unless, perchance, be la reinstated on the payroll as postmas ter. Mr. Myers contends that he is still postmaster, even though he Is collecting no pay; that he has not resigned his office and cannot be re moved without the consent of the United States senate. Ring: Exposure Promts M. Both Dr. C. J. Smith, democratic state chairman, and Dr. Elof Hedlund, democratic county chairman, have re ceived visits from Mr. Myers, who is said to have imparted the important Information that he will be a sen atorial candidate. Mr. Myers even penetrated the. sanctum sanctorum of democratic headquarters in the Mor gan building to reveal his plans. It is understood that both the state and county chairmen bore up nobly and with great fortitude under the blow and that what was Intended to. be an explosion of dynamite proved a dud. As the story goes, Mr. Myers con siders himself the victim of the "Chamberlain ring." This "ring," supposedly, has many ramifications, subterranean mostly, but with here and there surface outcroppings. The ramifications, according to Mr. Myers, wind their devious ways into news paper offices, into state and political offices, into the federal building, the statehouse at Salem and the United States senate chamber, into banking circles and into republican as well as democratic zones. Vindication Is Soosrtal. In self-defense and for vindication, Mr. Myers has let it be known, ac cording to report, that he intends ex posing Senator Chamberlain and all of his political cronies, republican and democratic. In the list to be held up to pitiless publicity openly arrived at are such indivduals as Oswald West, former governor of Oregon: Clarence L. Reames, former United States district attorney for Oregon and later in charge of the espionage operations fo the department of jus tice on Puget sound during the war; Bert B. Haney, another former United States disrtlct attorney for Oregon, and sundry and divers others who, Mr. Myers suspects, have pulled polit ical chestnuts out of the fire for Sen ator Chamberlain. So, it appears that if Mr. Myers gets into action he will contribute much to the gaiety of nations during the campaign, even though he runs third in a field of three. As the primaries have been held and nominations made, it is impossible for Mr. Myers to be other than an independent candidate. Defeat Not Conceded. In the democratic primaries a vig orous attempt was made to defeat Chamberlain with Harvey G. Stark weather, formerly state chairman, but without success. The celebrated Wil son letter to G. E. Hamaker. former county chairman, which put the issue straight up to democrats to choose between Wilson and Chamberlain, was expected to be an ace card in the primaries, but it proved a deuce Chamberlain won out over the irrec- oncilables of his party in the pri maries, but Mr. Myers, and a few of intimates, refuse to consider Victor Records An Excellent Selection of Popular Songs 18668 "When the Harvest Moon Is Shining" By Hart and James "Mother's Hands" By Henry Burr 18642 Now I Know.
