The Daily Budget lately became very
much excited over a dream it had about
a. big state Republican campaign fund;
it eren put a limit on .it, $-20,000, or
' something of tbe sort. At all events,
St publi-bed a goody-goody homily about
the deadly Bin of campaign fund in

heeding that bit of unprecedented ad

'Mr. Baker's letter to the Oregonian,
was as follows t '
"Portland, Not. 14.-(To the Editor,
The Astoriaa of November II says
that I have arranged to reW a big ram
paiga fund for the coming yearr-"not
lew than fCiO.OOO"; that 1 hare "writ

them of the great need for fund, and
that ' "it is understood that" Chairman
Baker addree4 one R. Alexander, of
Pendleton, a letter, in which the eitua
tion i described aT imperatively d
manding liberal contribution, and that
if . Mr, Alexander would send, him half
a' thousand dollars," the causa of good
government would be advanced And
equally authentic (sic) is the statement
that Mr.' Alexander dkl not buy a draft
for $300 and mail it to Mr. Baker.
"The truth is hat no such campaign

Republican reunion of October 12, many
Republicans desired to have the pro

do this would have reauired cormider-

The funny "part of the Budget's mor
al outburst, (which was funny enough
in itself, considering the abnormal quie
eence with which such enterprises are
accepted by all political parties of what
ever persuasion) developed a little lat
er, as will be seen upon reading the
following letter and it attendant com
munication to the Oregonian; and, be
it borne in mind this entire allusion
to the whole thing is made only in be
half of the sheer humor of it:

"My Dear .Mr. Dellinger: -
I owe you and your paper an apol

father handed ma an article from tbe
Budget. But I thought it was tbe As

ten of this morning's Oregonian appears
a reply from me to that article, and in
that reply I introduced the subject by
saying that "The Astorian of November
11th says," etc.
returned the money. Besides Mr. Alex
ander were S. B. Houston, of Hillsboro;
Claud Catch and Frank Wrightinan, of
Salem; Dr. Withyeoiube, of Corvallia,
and others.
"I beg to hand the Oregonian here
with a copy of the letter addressed to
"one R, Alexander," to-wit:
Otober 20, 1905.-My Dear Mr. Alex
ander: The Republican reunion and con
Terence, held in this city on October 12,
directed the state committee to perform
considerable work beween now and the
opening of the campaign next year
moreover, the executive committee there
of haa authorized the publication of
the proceedings of the reunion and con
ference for general distribution. These
and other unavoidable epenwv con

on a few friends for assistance, and a
contribution from you, Mr. Alexander,
will be greatly appreciated. Your obedi

Afternoon AathemT
The T. J. Potter lay in solitary gran
deur, at the 1000 foot O. R. A N. dock
yesterday. A reporter stepped elxprd
and looked about, but could not find a
soul. Of course there were people on
board, but they couldn't be found at
once because they bad all adjourned to
the callery-ticr of state room and
ere listening, in an awed group, to the
anthem (hat poured out through the
slats in Purser Harry Blanchard's
room. It was worth listening to. Ryth
mic, sonorous, profound, unbroken, it
sounded like a bar-dredger with a chok
ed suction, or the monotone-symphony
of a rock-crusher wrestling with a link
pin or, to be realistic, and truthful, it
waa like the "moaning of the bar," the
Columbia river bar," (down stream,
not down stairs) with tea or a dozen
storm bound coasters blowing their sy
rens to keep up the courage of an in
coming sister. The reporter had not the
heart to wake him up.
FLOATSAM AND JETSAM.
The Despatch is another vessel due
from the Bay City today.

lumber schooner Marion, which is loaded
with lumber for the Saa Francisco mar
ket, have been bar-bound for about
