PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 17. Work

FIGHT FOR SENATOR.
PORTLAND, Aug. 17. The Port
land Journal says: "Senator Char
les W. Fulton, In his race for re-election
to the United States senate and
his desire to defeat the will of the
people of Oregon 'and the ratification
of the election of Governor Chamber
lain, expects seven Statement No. 1
members of the legislature to prosti
tute their pledges and go Into a joint
caucus on the United States senator
ship. That is the ultimate aim to
all his plotting.
"Senator Fulton wants a Joint cau
cus of the members of the legislat
ure, every one of whom will pledge
himself before going In to abide by
the will of the caucus as regards the
election of a United States senator.
"Incidentally he expects to be that
nominee, but he Is not saying that
to those whom be wishes to go in
to the conclave. All efforts to con
trol the organization of tho legisla
ture, and all effort to gain control of
the party machinery of the state by
the deposition of William M. Cake
from the chairmanship of the re
publican state central committee, Is
subordinate to the effort to secure
the 4C members of the legislature for
the senatorial caucus.
"Fulton agents are now busy
sounding the different members
of
the legislature regarding the Joint
caucus. It is known that every one
of the anti-Statement No. 1 members
of the legislature has been seen and
it Ib said that all of them have
agreed to go into such a caucus."

W. W. Corum and wife of the

, cano from drowning yesterday after-
sizing. Mrs. Corum was caught just
as she was about to go under the
third time and pushed up on the
bottom of the boat where she was
held until the three were rescued
from their dangerous position.
The boat was overturned by Mr.
Corum while holding up a line to
permit the row boat to go in near the
shore. McCulIough was rowing and
Corum was walking back through
the boat, carrying the line. Just as
he stepped around McCulIough, the
boat lurched, throwing his weight on
one side and upsetting it. Mr. Mc
CulIough can swim a little and Im
mediately thought of taking care of
Corum and his wife, neither of whom
can swim. McCulIough, grasped the
boat to hold near them and then
shouted to them to take hold of the
side and help him right It. Thej
caught the side all right but the
boat, naturally a "cranky" one was
difficult to right although It was
turned over two or three times.
Failing In his efforts to right it, Mc
CulIough started around to where
Mrs. Corum was hanging but she was
weak and frightened and had lost
her grasp. Just as she came up the
third time, ho succeeded in getting
hold of her sufficiently to force her
up on the bottom of the overturned
craft. Corum was able to assist u
little by holding onto the boat with
one hand. After getting Mrs. Corum
on the bottom of the boat, Mr. Mc
CulIough succeeded In forcing it into
shallow water.
A few witnessed the accident from
a distance but wore unable to render
any assistance and had It not been
for Mr. McCullough's presence of
mind, Corum and his wife would
have probably been drowned.

THREE RAKE GRADE ROAO
NARROW ESCAPE IEAR DRAIN
as a result of the blowing up of the
steamer Lalanau on Carp Lake. The
steamer which piled between ports
on Carp Lake, was on her way from
Leland to Fouche on the early morn
ing trip, with between thirty and
forty passengers on board. At 7:30
o'clock the boiler blew up hurling
many Into the lake and scalding
others. The upper works were en
tirely blown to pieces. A panic fol
lowed the explosion and for a time
little help could be given those who
were thrown Into the water.
Southern Pacific Gives Indica
tion of Resuming Railway
Construction.
The Drain Nonpareil says: "The
S. P. Co. has a gang of men and
several teams at work repairing the
new county road at several places be
tween Drain and Elkton, which tho
company built a year or more ago
where the railway right-of-way inter
fered with the old county road. It
begins to look like the S. P. is get
ting ready to resume work on the
new railroad to Coos. Bay."
People Must Help Selves.
The Klamath Falls Republican
prints the following as a verbatim re
port of part of a talk made by E. H.
Harriman before the Klamath Falls
Commercial Club, the other day:
"I had no Intimation of this recep
tion until I stepped from the boat
and unfortunately no one has put on
paper for me what I ought to say.
I thank you for this evidence of good
will and assure you I will always en
deavor to please the people of this
section. Nothing gives me moro
pleasure than to please the people.
"When I stepped from tho boat
and was presented with a petition re
questing that I attend this reception
I must confess that I was weary. I
realized that in addition to wanting
the railroad you also need country
roads, and my advice to tho people
of this country is to construct good
roads. I hope that by autumn tho
railroad will be completed to a point
where connection will be made with
water transportation and by next
spring it will certainly be completed
into this city. But when this Is done
If the roads between this city and
the Upper Country are not improved
I assure you that you will not see
much of Harriman or Harriman's
friends. I do not say this In a sense
of criticism or faultfinding, but sim
ply In tho nature of friendly advice.
The people whom you would have
come here expect good roads. They
are used to them and expect them
and are willing to pay for them, and
one of the first things you want to
do is to see that they get them. I
have always believed in Oregon, and
particularly this part of It will bo a
resort In tho summer similar to what
Southern California Is In tho winter,
and you all know what the section
around Los Angeles Is. This has
been made possible through the
great Improvements made In that
part of California by tho people
there."

North Bend 1 10 90
Coqullle trimmed the Marshfleld
ball players in that city yesterday In
a close and exciting game of 11 in
nings by a score of three to two. This
Is tho third time this season that
these teams have played extra In
ning games and shows how evenly
matched the teams are. Coquille's
victory is due principally to their
hitting, as she has one of the heaviest
hitting teams In the league. Marsh
field's team on the other hand, with
the exception of one or two of the
players doesn't seem to be able to
connect squarely with the ball, and
easily succumbed to Gardiner
"curves." Theile, however, though
working against odds and with a
severely mashed finger p.tched big
league ball all of the time, keeping
the hits well scattered.
Marshfleld was first at tho bat,
and King Kelly tho head of the bat
ting order landed on tho first ono
Gardlnor sent over for a clean single.
McKeown got to first on a fielder's
choice, Kelly being caught at sec
ond. McKeown stole second and
scored on McCutcheon's long fly ovor
the ditch in left field.
Coqullle scored in her half of the
first also. Thomas got a hit and was
permitted to go completely around
the bases by two errors.
Tho teams remained tied until tho
fifth when Marshfleld scored again.
Welch was given a pass to first and
went to third on Kelly's hit. Mc
Keown, the next battor for Marsh
fleld knocked a hard drive out be
tween right and center fields scor
ing Welch and going to second on
it himself, Kelly being barely tagged
out at home. This proved to be Marsh
fleld last tally although the boys
nearly scored again when with Welch
on first McKeown knocked his sec
ond two baggor putting Welch on
third, but with two gone, Rvtledge
tried hard to connect with a bonder
but Gardiner kept him guessing until
he finally struck out, ending tho dan
ger for Coqullle.
Coqullle tied tho score In tho
eighth by getting two singles and a
two-bifggor, and ended tho game In
the last of the eleventh, when Gar
diner and Howoll both hit, then
Hartly struck at a high ono and by
some unaccountable good luck
knocked It over tho center fielder's
head, bringing In tho winning run.
