For CoflgressaiaB, First District Republican Nominee, Special Election June 1, 1903. THE OREGOMAN IN WAR PAINT. His high and mighty nibs of the Ore gonian on last Thursday morning de voted nearly an entire column to an swering about ten lines published bv this paper under the head of "Portland Grafters." The Plain-dealer dealt some plain truths and every word went home. TheOregonian tries to prove mat. mere will De "no profits," "no thought of profits," "no subscriber ex pests the return of a dollar through div idends," "that the property value of Portland real estate will not double in value in consequence of the Fair and may not be increased at all," and a whole lot of trash is used to cover up the tracks of the grafters. The Oregon ian winds up the long winded defense of the grafters by saying: "Let us add that the Rosebum Plaln dealer has the distinction of being the sole unreasonable and rabid opponent of me veuieuuiai among tue newspapers oi uregon. .Now Brer Oregonian, there is a mor.il commandment which savs: "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor," and the articles republished from this paper reading the Lewis and Clark Fair in the past month convicts you of "bearing false witness." The Plaindealer has from the first day iue suojeci was taiKea oi, auvocated a fair and it believes that much gocd will result. At the same time we want to see the interest of the taxpayers pro tected. As the case now stands the entire proceeding is a Portland graft. And wihle there is doubtless some pa triotism at the back of the movement, yet in the manipulation ofaff airs ; in the commissioners appointed; in the method of rushing it through the legis.ature ; in the manner of control it has been i99 cents for the grafters an 1 I cent for the taxpayers for every ten-dollar bill ai- propriated by the state. osr to tel1 the Oregonian the plain, unvarnished trutii: He nave seen a few jobs put upon taxpayers, but the proportions of the Portland graft when everything is taken into consideration, the unseemly haste, the blocking of other legislature until the steal went through, the bald attempt by passing a spacia i iaw to set asiae ine provisions ot Uie referendum constitutional amendment all bear circumstantial witness of theft. The passing of the special referendum law on the Lewis and Clark Fair bill is in itself a fraudulent measure intended to hoodwink the voters of the State. If the Portland patriots have white hands why do they enter court with their clothing stiffened up with mud and their hands covered with such festering sores? If everything is for Oregon and for the good of Oregon, why were such bate methods used to foist the graft upon the public at large. Now to let the Oregon ian know our position exactly, the Plaix dealee wants the fair, but it wants Hie taxpayers' interests protected at the same time. In another column will be found a set of resolutions by the labor unions of Portland in which it is stated that -rents in consequence of the ap proaching fair have increased 75 per cent. This in itself is a complete refu tation of the Oregonian's statement about the advance in real estate values and shows up the falsity of the claim. Because the Plaikdsalek is opposed to vicious legislation, vicious methods, and the hoodwinking of citizens that is no reason to say that it is opposed to the Fair. Before the Fair is over and be fore the next legislature meets, the pub lic's eye will be opened and we are only at the present time showing up the present graft to prevent a further in tended graft in 1903 or a special called Legislative graft in 1931. We have no ill feelings towards the Oregonian for the publication of its false editorial ba cauee it has not the sense or gumption to distinguish between honest and dis honest methods and that a paper may want to see the Fair made a success and favors the same and yet is opposed to the robbery and jobbery of state funds. Referendum on the Lewis and Clark Appropriation Bill. The Federated Trades Assembly last Iriday, at Portland, passed the follow ing set of resolutions Whereas, It is contemplated to hold in this city the Lewis and Clark Fair, and organized labor having subscribed to stock with the understanding tli it it would be for the benefit of the working men of the city and state; and Whereas, Property owners, after tub scribiug for said Fair, immediately raised the rent on their tenants, and today are doing so on one and two day's notice; and Whereas, The sawmills have formed a trust and raised the price of lumber 75 per cent, and are selling cheaper to export trade than for city use, and, al though getting higher prices, have failed to raise the wages of their men employed ; and Whereas, The painters and car penter have asked for an increase of pay, wiCh a minimum wage scale ; and Whereas, The minimum wago wrlo is for the protection of tho skilled and com petent mechanic, the emplover being the judge, and, if an employe i not worthy of such scalo, ho has tho privi lege of discharging lum ; and Whereas, Tho contractors having re fused such demands, tho lumber trust, upon whom no demands were made, joined hands with said contrac tors and refused to sell lumber to any employer paying such wages or employ ing union men ; and licrcas, it is solely for the purpose establishing a cheaper standard of wages so that they may reap a greater Inmefit from the Fair; and Whereas, Organized labor is in favor of a Fair which will benefit all clas-es alike, but opposes one that is a graft for the property owners, contractor s, and the lumber trusts ; and Whereas, The late Oregon Legislature has voted $500,000 for said Fair, subject to the approval of the people therefore be it Resolved, That we call upon all work ing men to set their ban of disapprnral on this graft by calling a referendum upon the appropriation for said Fair; be it further Resolved, That we ask the state con vention to lay these facts before the American Federation of Labor, and ask them to address circulars to all inter national, national and central bodies in the United States, asking them to peti tion Congress not to appropriate any money for said Fair. On Saturday morning the working di rectors of the Lewis and Clark Exhibi tion met and passed a resolution sus pending all work on the grounds until after the referendum had been voted up on by the citizens at large. The order, however, was passed subject to ratifica tion by the entire board. It is the opinion of the Plaindealer that the State has gone too far in advo cating tha Lewis aud Clark Fair to have it stoppe 1 at this time and especially after several states have made appropri ations for exhibits. That the bill wjs railroaded through the Legislature; and that there is a "graft" of vast propor tions; aud that Portland and the Mult nomah delegation pulled wool o:er the eyes of the citizens at large there can be no doubt ; and up to this time the graft ers have said in the chaste and classic language of Jay Gould : "The public be d " and the labor unions of Port land have decided to change the word ing a little and in place of the word "public" to insert "grafters." The Plaixdealer, however, does not believe that the labor unions in Portland are really in earnest about the matter; we believe that it is only an effort of Raft ers" to "graft" Vrafters." hat about that "honeyful" time the supposed labor leaders had with the crafters several months ago when the labor leaders en dorsed the Fair with an endorsement which did not endorse. It would have paid Portl.-nd to have been honest with the State of Oregon in the first place and then this day of trouble would not have dawned. Wreck on the S. P. Last Friday night the north bound passenger train was running in two s.c- nons, the first consisting of one endue baggage car and six sleepers, the xecoud section consisted of four baggage and mail cars and two dav co ches. The first section was running slow and it is said at the rate of about ten miles per hour and at 9:15 when at the most dangerous point tLcrc is on the road and right on the perpendicular banks of Uw Creek the engine truck wheels left the track, the front whiels and axle fly ing into the ditch east of the track. The engine continued for ab ut 50 feet, when the other truck wheels broke loose and the engine made a clear jump down a perpendicular wall into Cow Creek and into a hole where the water was about seven feet deep. Engineer Gray and Fireman Strader went down with the engine and were saved from death in a most miraculous manner. They were fished out with a rope, after thev had been submerged and had climbed to Use top of the cab. It was found that the fireman had two broken ribs and was badly bruised and cnt up, and that the engineer had received a terrible wrench in his back and was also cut and bruised. They were placed in a sleener. and everything was done for them that was possible to be done, and when the road was cleared they were both taken to the hospital at Portland. Only the front end of the baecace car left the trick. and the track was torn up for less than 50 yards. Had the train been runninz at its usual speed every coach would have been; piled up in the river The Lditor was on the second section and saw for himself and believes that nothing but a miracle prevented a terrible smash up. The New Forest Resrrve. The Land Office officials received tele graph instructions from Washington to close the office for entry to a vast track of land in Curry, Coos, Josephine and Jackson counties and to withdraw from entry all the land in the following viz : 31 south, ranges 9 and 10 west: town ship 32 south, ranges 9, 10 and 11 west; south one-half of township 32 south, ranges 12 and 13 west; townships 33, 34, 35, 30, and 27, south, ranges 8 to 12 west inclusive: west one half of township 36 south, range 7 west; township 3o south, ranges 5, 9,10, 11 and 12 west; town ships 39 and 40 south, ranges 5. G, 9, 10, 11 and 12 west; south one-half of town ship 40 south, ranges 7 and 8 west; township 41 south, ranges 5 to 12 west inclusive. The total area of land with drawn in Oregon is sixty-one townships, or 1,405,140 acres. The order will not effect any settlers' rights existing before the order was pro mulgated and the attempt made by tim ber sharks to Bteal this valuable bedy of land has evidently met great encourage ment at Washington. If ever Oregon needed a firm Congressman from this district it needs it now; and the only man that can Berve tho people and nut a stop to such proceedings is the Hor. P.inger Hermann. Now is the time for every settler to roll up a tremendous majorily for him at the election because the future good and settlement of Ore- good demands a tried and true man in Congress to properly represent tho is sue. MILL FOR JACKSONVILLE. New Factories to be Established Near the Depot. Tho Iowa Lumber Companv whoso mill is situated two miles from town, has purchased from P. J. Ryan a lot one block north from the depot and will begin the erection of n lari:o nlaninir mill and box factory on it at once, savs a Friday's dispatch from Jacksonville, Or. It will be equipped with now machinery most of which is on tho urotind now. and it is expected that tho mill will be running within 30 days. The companv hasabout 1,000,000 fc-t of lumber on the yard at present ready to bo planed and put on tho market. The saw mill is one of the best equipped mills in this part of the state and has a capacity of 30,000 feet a day using one shift of men. The logging is dono with a donkey engine and cable. They havo enough timber for a run of five years, and will sell most of the output in lareo niiaiitilies. Recently one of tho largest lumber dealers in Chicag was negotiating for 10,000,000 feet, and many other firms have Ikmju corresponding in regard (o extensive purchases. The president of he company, Mr. llofer, would like to handle the lumlwr in liw Immn r-itv Council Bluffs, In. The lumber is run from tho mill to town on a gravity tram way, two miles in length and four cars are used to haul the lumber, tho largest of which carries 4000 feet to a load. There are over 40 men on the pavroll, and every vacant house in town is occupied by this extra population, and a small town surrounds the mill. This extra population and payroll is of great value to the proiHjrtv-owners anil mer chants of this place. Flowers for the Home. Everyone likes them.

Benedick, the pioneer undertaker, of Ilosebnrg, closed a deed last Friday whereby W. B. Hamitt, of Oakland, will take charge of the undertaking business in Roseburg about the fifteenth of this month. Mr. Hamitt has for some time past been conducting a like business in Oakland in partnership with R. B. Stephens, and although it is notj.of.i tively known it is thought that Mr. Stephens will be a partner in the busi ness in this city. Mr. Hamitt will re tain his interest in the Oakland busi ness. Mr. Benedick has been in the undertaking business in Roseburg for the past 25 years and has given entire satisfaction, and it is with regret that the people of Douglas County hear of his retirement, as he has always been an obliging and careful attendant of the dead. Mr. BeneJick will however still continue his cabinet shop and furniture works. We are glad to welcome the new firm and list them among the business house of this city. Wilbur Ross Robbed. While returning home last night be tween the hours of 10 and 11 o'clock, Wilbur Ross the obliging clerk of Flint.s shoe store, was held up and robbed of his watch and chain and eight dollars in cash. Mr. Ross who lives in the drove west of the round house, is in the habit of making a short cut by pass ing thiough the lumber yard of the J. 6. Flook Company, and while doing so last night, Mr. Rosa was approached by a man who asaed the time, Ross took out his watch but as ho could not see on account of darkness, was returning tho watch to his pocket when the man grabbed it and ordered him to "shell out." Ross immediately produced his purse containing eight dollars and went on his way home. Ho phoned up town for help but could not find the marshall so he went to bed and said no more about the matter until this morning. The officers in searching for a clew, this morning found .Mr. Rosb'cs witch chain but tho robber has not yet lcen heard of. It is reported that the residence of Dr. Twilchill was entered Saturday night and $25 in cash taken. Dr. S. Studley will leave for Cottage Grove, on business. He will bo ahscnt until Friday. HIT BY CABOOSE. F, F.' Patterson Nnrrpwly Escape Death. While crossing tho S. P. track Satur day morning at about 9 o'clock, F. F. Patterson was hit bv a caboose, and by a miracle escaped death. There was an enginu switching in tho yards and had kicked a caboose from in front of the passenger detxit. This ca boose was rolling down tho track nt about four miles an hour, and struck the cart in which Mr. Patterson was riding, Mr. Patterson was thrown out of tho cart and while in mid-air was struck by the horse, which the caboose was knocking along. Mr. Patterson was knocked out of harm's way, but thu poor horse was bumped along for about fifty feet, and sustained such injuries that ho was killed by the section fore man. Tho cart was ro cnmplcaty mashed that it looked as though you could put it in an ordinary-sized grip. mt. i-atiorson received some very mean-looking scratches and bruited on his right hand and arm, and from ap pearances, received no serious injuries other than the scratches and bruises and a general shaking up. We don't know who. e place it is to have a llagtnan stationed at the Lane street railroad crossing. However, if it is the city's place, they should have one placet! there immediately, and if it is tho place of the railroad companv, the city should see that they do so. There will be two or threo good men killed there some day, and then somebody will et very badly sued. Looted Express Safe. A dispatch from Mexico City says the fact that the Wells, Fargo Express Company was robbed of $42,000 at Silao last Thursday came to light today. Pe culiar circumstances attended the rob bery. A small safe is usually carried from the through Mexican Central train to the cilice, and thence to Guannja to the train by a courier. On the morning of the robbery the express messenger warned the man to be careful of the safe, telling him it contained a large sum of money. Instead of takinc the safe to the office, the courier took it to his home, called in a number of his friends and opened it. The money was extracted and distributed. Following the discovery of the robbery at Silao about 40 persons were arrested, and all except about $11,000 was recov ered. Richardson DRUGGISTS nur fartlJtipc f-r f;lI;orr ?
