"Jim' Campbell, the Clackamas county war- horae.and the fruit friend of the Irre prtnaltile Oforsre C. Ilrownelt, la to sut- cted John it. Hull as United Htatea dis trict attorney. They figure out to a nli-ety that (ieurge V. dotan't want the place, and couldn't Kt M if he did, and that, to create In his mind the Improa slon that he stands hlich lit the coun sels of his party, he will he ullow.'l to nam Hall's successor. Campbell be' lug George's chief, of course his choice would be eaay to icuess. It Is mM furthermore that Senator Mitchell owes Mr. Drownell a political dd)t that is lasting, and the aerator Fulton has ample reason to feel friend ly toward the Clackamus county states man. Both senators would dike to have Drownell back In the state senate whn other senatorial elections come around, which would hardly be poasl ble If he were to be made district at torney. Leslie M. Seott, the Oregontan's po litical writer, was In the city yesterday afternoon and Imparted some Interest' Ing Information regarding the district attorneyship. Mr. Scott says that Mr. Urownell haa declared to him that he does not want the job that John H. Hall now holds,, which Mr. Scott inter prvts to mean that George C. Is anx ious for an opportunity to decline the appointment. Mr. Scott entertains the opinion that the president would rot feel friendly to Brownell and might again turn down the Oregon delegation should It tee fit to recommend the Clackamas sage. Mr. Scott says Mr. ftrowneU'a knowledge of law Is not any too grwt. which Is known alike to I'.rownell and to petitioners generally. Hut I:rownll la a good man when It comes to making senators, says Mr. Scott, and the member of the Oregon delegation realise this. Therefore, Oeorge C. should be recognised t the extent of being accorded a voice In the st-lectlon of a district attorney; and florae C.'a chalee is his friend "Jim' Campbell, who knows the law and would probably be acceptable all around. Mr Scott seea no hope for Judge MorMand. who has not done as much for the Mitchell regime as haa Urownell, although he has always oc copied a prominent seat In the band wngou. The effect of permitting Brownell to decline the plum and cause the appoint ment ot nts friend would be to restore him to favor with the people of Clack amas county not that Gear couldn't be elected again, but that the arrange ment would Increase his majority two yc ars hence. Drownetl's Indifference to the "Nowls-the-tlme" telegram sent him during the late legislative session prove his loyalty to the Mitchell-Pul ton wing, and places him directly In une to grab a piece of pie for some good Wend-prlnclpally Jim Campbell GENERAL BLACK ONLY CHOiCE Mr. May Reports a Glorious Time at Annual Encampment C. A. May who has Just returned from the annual national encampment of the O. A. R. at San F&uiclsco, re ports that a glorious reception was ac corded"the veteran by the people of the Bay City. Mr. May was among those who went to San Jose on the ex cursion especially provided for the del egates entertalninent and the trip was one of the enjoyable events of the entire convention. While Gen eral Mile met with, a most cordial re ception by the delegates, Mr. May states that he did not at any time stand the least show for eleotion to the com mandershlp. This Is accounted for by the fact that Miles has not heretofore been closely affiliated with the G. A R.,hls actlVe public life preventing him from giving his attention to it. The western delegate were for Black to a man and hi election was not disput ed. - " On his return from Snn Francisco Mr May found waiting for him an Invita tion frot'n his old regiment of the Civil wur'to Join the reunion to be held at Jersey City on October7, next. The reglmeat Is Scott's Nine-hundred, of the Eleventh New York cavalry. Mr. May regrets that he will be unable to attend the reunion and will write to his old comrades In arm! to that effect. ARRESTED FOR. INSANITT J. V. Pyschwanden was arrested Sun day by Sheriff Linville on suspicion of being Insanse. The man was found near First and Commercial streets, where he was Industriously engaged in wielding a club at small trees, He told the sheriff that two men were try ing to chloroform him and that he was beating them off. The man was taken to the county Jail, and his condition seemed so much, Improved yesterdxiy that he was not taken before the san ity commissioners. Sheriff Linville be lieves he may regain his reason. Iyschwanden is a stranger hers, hav ing come down a few days ago from the Mayger rock quarry. He appeared entirely recovered last evening and If ft on the steamer Lurllne for Port land, having been released from jail enrllttr in the evening. THE NEW TOWING APPLIANCE Nehalem River Logs Shipped in to the Columbia The tug Vosburg arrived yesterday from Nehalem with 110,040 feet of logs In tow. She started from the Nehalem river with 70 logs but lost 14 on the trip up to the mouth of the Columbia river. A few of the chains were old and de fective and would not withstand the strain, ' ' ' The Vosburg Is using a new towing appliance that may, if It should prove successful, cause a temporary flurry In' the price of logs on the Columbia. The log are separately attached to the towing gear and are not made Into rafts, a has heretofore been the cus tom. The experiment thus far tried have been quite successful, and great results are looaea for. It is said the Vosburg brought the second raft out of the Nehalem when the bar waa break ing bally, but that the trip was made safely, and without the loss of a stick. Owing to the shallow entrance to the Nehalem river and the uncertain con dition of the bar there it Is almost Im possible for a vessel to get Into the river. In consequence of this, there I no demand for the logs that are placed In the river at Nehalem, and the price seldom exceed 12.50 per thousand feet. On theColumbia spruce' logs bring from 17:50 to $9.00. It will thus be seen that If logs can be towed to the Columbia at mderate cost, local prices may come down. The millmen would buy from the loggers arid thereby effect a big saving. The bg thus far brought up by the Vosburg have been sold to the Clatsop Mill Company. It Is the purpose to give the new towing appliance a thor ough test. .
