INTENSE DISGUST OF HER
CITIZENS AT REFLECTION
CAST UPON THEM IN
THE OREGONIAN.
V.lh whatever quietude the cozy
Ittle town of Cathlamet bore the ex
dtcment and disruptive influences of
the recent trial of Michael Campbell
and especially its remarkable crisis,
the patience of its people has been
sorely tried by the bombastic and
gratuitous newspaper notoriety thrust
npott them by the Portland Oregon
Lin to date, at the instance of some
f the leaders in that remarkable
"fccaT contest: as witness the fol
lowing remarks made yesterday in
this city by a prominent citizen and
2kkl from that place. , Said he:
"Cathlamet is disgusted beyond
Measure with the tirade that appear
ed in Monday's Oregonian; her peo
ple do not know whom to blame for
the thing, but they fail signally to
appreciate the uncomfortable, unde
served notoriety thrust upon them by
the article; feeling that she is made
to appear ixr the eyes of neighbors, as
bad? place to live in, a dangerous
place to go to, and a center for all
manner of turbulence and unlawful
practice; whereas, she sought to be
as quiet, inoffensive and disinterested
in the big trial as she could be, for
the very sake of her good name.
"That there was more or less feel
ing for and against the defendant
among those who visited the town,
and among a very few of her own
people, as is always the case in mat
ters of that kind, no one will deny
for a moment; but that any feeling,
or expression, open, or tacit, prevail
ed there during that trial, is as false
as the whole scheme of the story told
in the big daily of Portland. That
the people of Cathlamet have as good
as idea of "the sanctity of a verdict
iendere4in-iopen court as any other
community cur eartf goes without
saying; and 'the illogical and inspired
staJI sent ouf from the metropolis is
a raw reflectidjr on the character of
the place, and was a poor return fori
the orderliness, hospitality, and strict
unconcern, shown to all sides at issue.
"As to the manner and means' by
which the verdict recorded, was
reached,! the people of Cathlamet
bave various, and mostly uncoiir
promising, ideasi some of her people
are painfully-frank in- this premise
wlich is not at all complimentary to
the lawyers on either side; and while
no blame is attached" td Mr. Camp
bell for being the beneficiary of the
questionable program followed out,
the-program itself . is remorselessly
condemned in, of course, a supposi
titious way; and" this sensing of the
means employed does not add any
thing to the merit of the write-up
given her by the Portland attorneys
in the case." ''' '
A. well known- Astoria- attorney
says that the costs of such a trial
are always enormous, and that in this
instance Mr. Campbell must have
paid dearly for the service rendered
him. He was in the South Bend
country a few days ago and noticed
iaone of the South Bend papers the
transfer of a fine -body of timber land
over in-that "section, from Michael
Campbell to Dan Malarkey (his at
torney in chief), which, is-known' to
be among the finest pieces of forest
land in the state-and "freely quoted
, hy those who . know its value, to "be.
worth $20,000 of" any man's mojieyj
This is all' right of course, and just?

as it should be in such an emergency
as Campbell was. confronted with,
but it goes to sh w that the lawyers
for the defense were not without
reason for using the last, best, ex
pedients at hand, and all others they
mieht contrive.
The elder brother of the man! who
was killed, Mr. McClcllan, was in the
city yesterday and left p last even
ing on the steamer Lurline for Port
land, where, in the interests of jus
tice, he intends to publish the story
of the whole affair in the columns of
another paper than the Oregonian
and give as wide publicity to hi
family's side of the unhappy issue as
was given to Mr. Campbell's. He
would not talk much, and what he
did say was .not, under any circum
stances, to be construed as other than
sorrowful and quietly reproachful; he
was determined, however, to counter
act the eftVrt of the Oregonian' ill
advised screed and attempt to put an
interested public right in the .big
premise. He will return, to this sec
tion in about two weeks and arrange
for the future of his dead brother's
wife and family.
As far as Astoria is concerned, the
issue of the trial at Cathlamet came
as a thunderbolt to those not in inti
mate touch with the real situation up
the river; but the consensus of feel
ing here is that it is well to abide the
terms of a verdict, however, unex
pected it may be, as the best exprea
sion of good citizenship; but there is
no mincing of opinions as to the
means used in achieving ths verdict
since they could not escaped discus
sion in a city so clearly, and nearly,
identified ' with the parties to the
miserable history.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14,-Amer-ican
makers of plows and harvesting
machinery are losing their trade,
which 20 years ago they almost ex
clusively controlled in Tasmania ac
cording to Consul Henry D. Baker.
This is attributed to the failure of
American dealers to recognize Tas
mania's requirements. Consul Baker
declares that there should be a good
market for cultivating implements in
Tasmania if implements of patterns
suitable to that country are manu
factured. TOUR OF INSPECTION.

He recently (investigated the loot
ing of cargo at Chilian ports and
says "insurance has been increased
from. I 3-4 per cent to 10 per cent as
result of his' report. He instanced
two' cases where steamers had -been
practically pirated in harbor at Anto
fagasta. The steamer' Serato of the
Pacific Steam Navigation Company,
he said, had been attacked, the watch
man overpowered and the captain
held up at a revolver point while the
hatches were taken off and valuable
cargo stolen, being lifted into small
boats alongside with their steamer's
own winch by the pirates. There had
been too, practically a pitched battle
with revolvers at Antofagasta be
tween the pirates and the crew of the
steamer Coya of W. R. ' Grace &
Company.
In another case 40 tons of Bolivian
cargo valued at 80,000 pesos had been
looted from lighters and loaded on
an Italian bark. Very heavy losses
had also occurred at Talcuhuano as a
result of the neglect of cargo which
had been left to sink in the sand
abandoned for' months.

It was simply one of the great me
chanical effects of this powerful play
that is making a big hit cn tour. The
production is different in every par
ticular; the interesting stage story is
told by a company of players of the
better class, and this melodramatic
success is so cleverly put on that it
has been called the best of all rail
road plays with a far-Western at
mosphere. The Klimit & Gazzolo
Amusement Company are responsible
for it, and it will have its initial pre

clouds creeping up above the horizon.
Those clouds wblspend of a smart

to survey his latest catch, and each
time as bo did so he gave a little
chuckle of satisfaction.
Buddenly there was a mighty tug tt
the line; astern was a flash of blue
end silver as the fish leaped from the
water. The bishop took a firmer bold
on the line, and his eyes glowed with
excitement ,
"Ease her up a bit. Jim he called
to the man at the tiller. "Look at the
fellow I've hooked this time. He's the
father of them alt!"
So engrossed was the bishop with
his fish that he did not hear the quick
punting of h snsollne engine, nor did
he see the j-vver boat tearing toward
them, neiidimjt rp twin waves of white

I'm going to ask you to do me a favor,
