The commls i" lon of the democratic Incumbent of the office of United States surveyor 's general for Oregon ran out July 15. ,r This now makes 10 lederal appoint ments which could be filled with re ! publicans if the two senators, Charles , jL. JlcNary and Robert N. Stanfleld, : would get together and make recom , mendations. So far as the public Is aware, the . candidates for federal jobs are as . much at sea today as they were on K March 4. However, word from Wash--, lngton says that announcements , probably will be made 'before August 1. This may mean no more than pre ; yious reports which set June 1, June 13, July 1 and July 15 as dates when " the senators were to relieve the anxiety of a waiting world. But one '. thing is certain: Some day the sena tors will have to agree and then recommend and make public their se '. lections for the federal positions In 1 this state. All signs indicate that this day is rapidly approaching. Some Conferences. Held. Senator Stanfleld returned to "Wash ington last week and he and his col . league, Senator McNary, held some , conferences on the patronage ques tion. While in Oregon Senator iStan ' field saw a number of candidates and '- heard a lot about them and others. . 1'resumably what the senator heard . and saw while in Portland made an impression on him and this will have ; a direct bearing on what he said to Senator McNary in their conferences. ; it is no secret that Senator Stan fleld is somewhat estranged from sev eral of his supporters, and .this will : have an effect on the final disposition . of patronage. Apparently the only applicant from eastern Oregon in whom he still retains an active inter net 13 his relative, Asa Thomson of Kcho. About six weeks ago nearly all of ; the main jobs were tentatively slated ; with the exception of federal pro hibition director and collector of cus toms. The senators were in no hurry ; about making their recommendations, but it became noised about that a - couple of candidates had "cinches." ; These candidates immediately became targets for their competitors and a 'steady stream of objections was poured Into Washington against them. ' In one instance at least the objec tions evidently have been successful. New Slate Reins Made. With the original tentative elate upsot. the senators now are patching ( another together. Whether any of .. the names on the original slate will appear on the new slate is known ' only to the senators themselves, and they are saying nothing. It is the conclusion in Portland that pressure exerted on Senator itanfleld has placed the skids under John L. Day for United States mar- . hal. a position which he practically had a month or more ago. If Mr. ' Day, chairman of the republican county central committee, does not obtain this appointment, the ' candi date who finally knocks the plum from the tree will be a compromise. Rumors have come to Portland from Washington in the past few days that Clyde G. Huntley of Oregon " OJty may not be recommended for collector of internal revenue. He had : been reckoned as a certainty and his principal backers in the party still feel that he will land. A Washing- . ton "tip,1 however,, is to the effect that a new name has sprung up, but , the name is not mentioned. Wlre-Pulllnjt Continues. As for collector of customs and ap- pralser, positions which are also in ; demand, there is practically no new information. Meanwhile practically i all of the candidates for the jobs ' continue to .bombard the senators with letters and telegrams, either person ally or through friends, and each job la the center of wire-pulling and po litical maneuvering. All this influ 1 ence will be exerted on the senators until the latter finally make tip their minds on candidates and announce their selections. YOUTH GOES FAR TO T DP. IT.

HUNTER of Gold Beach, Or., has before him a task whjch would dHnntmiTiv A man. In the next two years he hopes to kill all of the 3000 seals and sea lions along the Oregon coast. He does not hesitate about be ginning the work, however, because he is an experienced hunter of sea lions, which are considered a great menace to the salmon industry of the state. Mr. Hunter could write a book on "The Gentle Art of Killing Sea Lions," but he never will, for he is one of those really modest men who count their accomplishments as naught. He know his business and finds it fascinating in many ways. and that is quite enough for him. 'Sea lions are much like sheep; you have to remember that when you go after them," he mused the other day. He had just come to Port land! after 2Vi months of hunting his prey. He had killed in that time 1071 in all. Rest Xeed Aot Be Scared. "If you handle them in the right waj you can. kill a large number without scaring off the rest. If you make the mistake, of exciting them, they become frightened, leave the rock for the water and may not re turn for two weeks. Then you must waste time waiting for them to coma back. . . "What is my erystem? Well, we run up in the boat within 300 feet of a rock, anchor and then I go ashore in. a small boat. Everything depends on shooting systematically. If the firing is done too rapidly, the sea Hons become alarmed andi begin slipping off into the water. "I usually begin shooting at those along the edge of the water and work around the rock gradually. As soon as the -lions become restless and begin to move about, then it is time to stop sbooting and wait until they calm down a bit." 'Are they sleepy, gentle creatures. i NEW COTTAGE OF DAUGHTERS OF ISABELLA ON COLUM BIA HIGHWAY PRACTICALLY COMPLETED. t I STRUCTURE TO BE OPENED WITH HOUSE-WARMING: TO BE t STRUCTURE TO BE OPENED WITH HOUSE-WARMINO TO BE HELD BY CLUB NEXT SUNDAY. Isabella cottage, the new clubhouse erected for the Daughters of Isabella on the Columbia river highway between Dodson and Warrendale. a now practically completed, and the members of the organization are. planning to hold1 a house-warming next Sunday.

The girls will take a special train leaving the union station at 10 o'clock next Sunday morning. The return to Portland! will be made at 7:30 P. M. The cottage was erVcted upon a two-acre Rite donated to the Daughters of Isabella by Sam J. Gorman, owner of the EOO-acre tract known as Ellahurst. In addition: to the erection of the cot tage, the grounds have been Improved and a tennis court installed ready for use. It Is intended to use the cottage as the headquarters for future activities of the club. Plans for the cottage were prepared by Houghtaling & Dougan. 1 SEA LIONS OX THE ROCKS. S W. M. HUNTER SEATED O V A 12-FOOT SPECIMEN. 3 A SEA LION COMXNU UP OUT OF THE WATER. or do you ever have any trouble with them?" he was asked. "Wby. they're the meanest things in the world,' Mr. Hunter said, much surprised to find that the haiita and dispositions of Ea lions are not com mon knowledge. "I never let one get above me on a rock. They are as strong as can "be. I have seen a. cow hurl one of her young 0 feet through the air." Mr. Hunter has had no unpleasant personal encounters, however, be cause he has learned from years of experience just what the animals will io under every circumstance. Although Mr. Hunter does all of the shooting himself, he has six help ers who assist him in the scalping and skinning. The men live on the boat which Mr. Hunter - had built es-pecially for this work. It'is 57 feet long. Is equipped with living ac commodations for eight men and has sufficient hold space for the hides and scalps, as they are taken from day to day. The boat has been named "The Hunter," and is equipped with a gasoline engine and sails. Mr. Hunter made several record catches in the six seasons in which he' has been killing seals and sea lions. His record, kill for one day is 3S2: another day he shot 325. "There were more of them in the years I shot that many in a day, than there are now," said the huntsman. "One day out of every season it is possible to get a big kill. We go along killing about 50 or 60 a day and then finally find all in . that vicinity gathered on one rock. It is possible to get a lot of them at one time. Season Lasts Four Months. "The season during which we work lasts four months. We usually begin about the middle of May or earlier." Mr. Hunter began this season at the Port Orford reefs and covered the rookeries on Arch Rock, the Rogue River reef. Heceta Head, Cape Hears and Tillamook head. "The seals and sea- lions eat in the open season alone more salmon than air th.e canneries along the Oregon coast can pack," he said. "Estimating the number of sea lions at 3000, which. Is a conservative estimate, and four as the numiber of fish they each eat during a day, they consume 1,840,000 salmon during the 157 days of the open .season. This does not allow for all the other days of the year, when they must eat. "Seals weigh from 150 to 225 pounds and the sea lions weigh from 1000 pounds to two tons. They eat just the head of the salmon or some times about one-third of the fish, as much as they can grab at one bite. They catch the fish as it is swimming toward them. vThey have enormous stomachs. They don't masticate their catch at all. 'but swallow everything whole. I cut open the stomach of a sea lion once and found a whole devil fish, about 10 feet long, which had been swallowed in sections." One fisherman was said to have found 44 salmon heads in the stomach of a sea lion, but Mr. Hunter has never found more than 15. The hair seals or sea lions are found in the ocean, but the seals, which are much smaller, come in-to the streams along the coast. The seals are killed with dynamite. Mr. Hunter has arranged for a diver to bring the bodies of the dead seals to the surface. Many seals are found in the Co lumbia river at Snag island and on the mud flats above Tongue Point and small islands in that vicinity. The season for killing will last about 45 days more. Mr. Hunter will do some killing along the Washing ton coast this season. ENGINEERS TO SEE MINES Excursion Will Be Made Int, Brit? Ih Columbia District. SPOKANE, Wash.. July 16. A four day excursion for mining engineers into the east Kootenai mining district of British Columbia the last week in August has been arranged bv the Columbia section of the institute of mining engineers. Special attention will be given to wives and daughters of the excursionists, according to Li. K. Armstrong, secretary of the Columbia section. i ne tentative itinerary includes a visit to the Sullivan mine, a flay in the free-milling gold district of Ferry creek, a day among the copper pros pects of the St. Mary's valley, and a day either in the- Galena district or the placers of the Wildhorse dis trict.' Interspersed between these trips will be entertainment features such as boating, fishing and outdoor sports. The excursion will leave Spo kane August 21. Not only the police but habitues of the underworld are completely mystified as to the Identity of Port land's Friday night safeblowers, who cracked" their third successive safe some time early yesterday morning. The big safe of the Brandes Ci eam- ery company, 127 First street fell victim to the technique of the yeggs shortly before 3 o'clock yesterday morning. But the safeblowers were frightened away by Patrolman Ar nold before they had an opportunity to loot it. The management of the company, however, said) the safe con tained but a small amount of funds. Police detectives said the method employed by the yeggs was the same that used in the two preceding Friday nights when safes in other establishments were blown open and looted of large sums of money. The yeggs knocked! off the com bination and made what is known as "splndile" shot. The heavy outer door of the safe was laid open neatly, while the inner doors also were torn from their hinges. Ro Clews Y'et Kound. A careful check through the local underworld during the past three weeks by police detectives has failed to uncover the slightest clew to the identity of the yeggs now operating here. Through underground chan nels the police have been given posi tive assurance from persons they be lieve can be trusted, that the under world does not know who is operat ing, and is just as much in the dark as the police. That all ttwee safe "jobs" were the work of experts is the belief of the police, and because each safe was blown open in exactly the same way they believe the same robbers blew all three. Many of the veteran police and de tectives felt certain that another safe would be blown Friday night and yesterday morning, and for that rea son were on the alert for the slight est susipicious action of persons on downtown streets after midnight. It was shortly before 3 o'clock In the morning that Patrolman Arnold heard the muffled report of an ex plosion as he was standing near the corner of First and Alder streets. Running to the plant of the Brandes Creamery company, he heard men run ning through the rear of the build ing. He saw smoke arising irom me exploded safe. Chisels and other tools used by the yeggs were left lying on the floor. Police Soon on Scene. Arnold summoned Peter Mitchell, a janitor at the interurban station at First and Alder streets, and had him call the police detective bureau. In spectors Schum and roweu arrivea within a few minutes. An hour later the police arrestee: Peter Vassara at the Jeffries hotel and) held him for investigation. He ia saldl to have been seen loiter ing about that vicinity for more than an hour shortly before the explosion. Police detectives at first suspected he might have been a look-out for the men working inside, but they were unable to connect Vassara with the operations of the outlaws. The present gang of yeggs first started their local operations three Fridays ago, when they blew open the safe at the Lange & Kruse restau rant, near Park and Alder streets. The following Friday night the Bafe at the Java Coffee company store was cracked. From the first safe they procured $300, while at the Java Co.ffee company store they are said to have made away with 11300. Inspectors Coleman and Collins are investigating several clews and rumors, but so far have procured no information Indicating capture of the yeggs. Royston's Hearing- Set. Rev. Fred Royston of Salem, charged with violation of the Mann act, will have a hearing before United States Commissioner Fraier next Fri day morning. He is in the Multno mah county jail, as he has been un able to produce $2000 bail. CARDS OF THANKS.
