To a representative of the
Baker City Democrat, Hon.
. TV. Ful ton of. Astoria, United
States senator for Oregon, who
was there to deliver the oration
at the Fourth of July celebration
in Baker City, when questioned
in regard to the Oregon gub
ernatorial situation, said:
""Nothing is being done now
on the question nor, so far as I
know, have any canidates been
put forward by prominent men
.of the different localities or in
any localities, except that
prominent men are mentioned
for the office. How far the
mention of canidatesxis author
ized or sanctioned by the cani
daten themselves I do not know.
For instance, your own fellow
townsman, the Hon. C. A. Johns,
is frequently mentioned as suit
able timber for the Republican
candidate, and he certainly
would be an admirable canidate
and should be nominated I have
no donbt whatever that he would
be elected by a large majority,
but I do not know whether Mr.
Johns is or would become a
candidate.

truth, the situation is peculiar
and we are treading on strange
ground in view of the fact that
the direct primary law will be
tested for the first time next
year. I do not see very well
how any program can be ar
ranged, for it is a matter that
the people will have to settle,
and they would not be disposed
probably to look with favor on
any prearranged program, no

Western Pacific Probabje.
Gould's intentions in Oregon
have not been changed by the
trip of the Harriman agents into
Central Oregon by way of
Shaniko, Bend and Prineville.
Doubt is expressed in some
quarters that Harriman will,
furnish funds to build the Col
umbia Southern extension to
Beud and Prineville, but, judg
ing from the practical audi
thorough manner in which the
Gould agents in Oregon are con-.
turning their work, it is con
sidered sure the Western Pacific
will tap the territory ere long,
and that move will be the cud
gel which wijl .force Harrinwn
or his successors to furnish.

The- continued presence of
Gould representatives in the

known Harriman would tele

minuately investigate the ad

be encountered in the extension
of the Columbia Southern gives
color to the surmise that he its

fact Gould has gone ahead with
the establishment of his base of
supplies for construction work
at Salt Lake and that he will
push on tc San Francisco with
dispatch, is taken as indicating
the branch line from a point
near- Eureka, Nev., to Portland

the agreement of the stockhold

San Francisco last week to in-

A companx has been organized with, A
capital stock q $150,000 ("pr the purpose
of building a railroad, 16 miles, from Vale
to connect with the Oregon Short Line at
Ontario. It is said, that 550,000 of the
stock has already been subscribed, $25,
000 by local capital and $25,000 by out
side capitalists. It h,as not been decided
yet whether thq new road will be n steam
or an electric Ijne. Construction work
will begin as soon as the right of way can
be scented.

James C. Stoncr was yi town Wednes
day on business and called at The Pio
neer o'llicc. Mr. Stoner says a portion
of his crop is good this year and it is his
observation that grain sown in December
or January will make a surer and belter
crop than sown grain later in the Spring.
Winter sowing giv,es the grnin an oppor
tunity to form a long, heaih.y root and is
then more able to appropriate the mpis-
ture that falls in the soring months, insur
ing a long stem and well filled heads,
while grain planted in the Spring devel
opes only a short root, many times has to
contend with a diy season and what rain
does fall soon sinks below the depth of
the roots, they deriving only a slight ben
efit, with the result ihw the grain makes
a short stem and the heads arc poorly
filled.
Prineville Reviewr The Re
view this week is compelled to
print three days ahead of time,
owing to a pressing invitation
firom Mr. Francis J. Heuey for
the editor to attend the trial of
Hon. J. N. Williamson, "which
began at Portland on Monday.
Mr. H,ene' refnsed to take no
for an answer; and as he like-i
wise insisted upon the whole
ojjfcce force being present at the
trial, and on? news gathering
was limited to three daysx we
are also compelled to come out
on a half-sheet.

and strange to say, he still finds those
who are just waiting to be faked. Most
of these are the slick fellows who have
left over goods from 4I1C St. Louis fair,
which they couldn't find loom in the
Lewis and Clark fair to exhibit, and there
fore will sell at any old $iice. Yes, and
they are no sooner purchased than it U
found they arc any old goods. It should
be remembered by our people that these
transients cannot sell goods as cheaply rW
can our home merchants. Resides, what

grounds of the Central Oregon Livestock
and Agricultural association during thr
coming fall. It was thought for a time
that the Portland, fnjr would be n serious
hindrance to a si)ccessfil exhibit in the

reached that the late date at which the
local fair wil) beheld w'di assure a big at

will attend the exposition in Portland will
have returned ljome by that time. The

SECRETARY HAY WORN OUT.
Secretary of State Hay sailed
for Europe a number of weeks
ago worn out from overwork.
He was so weak and tired that
as he stood on the dock in New
York he was forced to call for a
chair. The people realized
when they heard this that the
great Secretary of State had
been killing himself for his
country, and after almost half a
century of public life, during
which he has been
with the greatest national move
ments, that he was compelh d
to give up. During the last few
months particularly his strength
has been much overtaxed, and
he haB submitted to a great
deal of annoyance besides.
The treaties he has drawn have
been tampered with by Congress
until they no longer were
capable of bringii g about the
effects the Secretary hoped for,
and in spite of ill health, he has
is assured, for the $50,000,000 is
estimated to have been sufficient
to build to the Golden Gate.
Gould will bo encouraged to
enter the territory, and already
prominent influences in the
slate are at work in that direc
tion. With his $50,000,000 of
bonds already sold in England
and right of way offered him
for a small sum the rising rail
road magnate may yet hold the
supreme hand in OiRgon so far
as transcontinental business is
concerned.
