J3.-A Con gressional candidate and a nominee for Associate) Justice of the Supreme Court are to be named by the Demo cratic state convention In session here today, but of far more Interest than the r nominations are the probable develop- ' ment In the contest for the control of the party between Senator Clark and F. Aug. Heinse, the young mining mil- " llonalre of Butte. Heinse is a candi date for the United States Senate and Clark la bitterly opposing him. When the Democratic state committee met two weeks ago, Heinze claimed to have a majority of the members, while Clark , made similar claims. When a vote was taken on a division It was found that each bad thirteen votes, Then came sensational charges of bribery. An agreement was finally reached by which Heinze had a shade the better of It. In anticipation of the convention the Clark forces have been diligently at work and on the ere of the gathering they declare that Heinze Is In for a good walloping. If Heinse falls to get control of the party tt Is believed he will bolt the Democrats sad align himself with the labor people. HAWAII PROSPEROUS Soli Us Over $21,000,000 Worth of Goods in 1901.

Says That Dairies in Coos County Are Doing WelL Food and Dairy Commissioner Bailey has returned from Salem, where he had charge of the dairy exhibit at the State Fair. In speaking of the exhibit Mr. Bailey said: "The dairy exhibit was not as good as it ought to have been. It was a rather nice exhibit, but could have been bet ter. The reason for this is the great scarcity of butter. The dairymen needed their butter to supply their customers, so could not afford to put It on display." Previous to going to Salem Mr. Bailey tptnt two days in Coos County, examining the dairy Interests there. He reports hat, everything Is getting along satisfac torily there, more dairies are being estab lished, and those that are already there are enlarging their plants. Mr. Bailey will leave for Southern Ore gon by the first of the month. THE HASSAL0 RESUMES RUN "Strike Has no Effect on Boats' " Says Craig.

THE BOUNTY LAW FIGHT Will & Waged in the Oregon Legislature. INTERESTING TIME EXPECTED Sheepmen of the State a Unit in Favor of Its Continuance. PENDLETON, Sept. 23. Everybody knows what a storm there is going to be In the next Oregon Legislature over the coyote scalp bounty law of this state, and any observant man who watched things closely at the association meet of LOregon wool-growers in Pendleton this week, could see the tokens of the hard tight the sheep men of the state are go ing to put up for Its continuance. Con-Bressman-elect J. N. Williamson, of l'rlnevllle, Crook County, was at the meeting, mainly to make a long speech in favor of the law and to strengthen nmong these kings of sheep men the al ready powerful sentiment In fuvor of the measure. The eloquent Congressman had little urging on his hands the wool growers. In whose interest It Is alleged the bounty law was passed, lent ready ears to his ptrruaslon. The Legislature of two years ago found means to provide payment for the scalps brought n during the two years previous, and enacted the law now In existence, that of every 12.00 allowed for a coyote scalp, the state should pay two-thirds and the county one-third. From 1901, the beginning, until the present time, 130,000 In round numbers has been paid out of state and county treasuries to killers of coyotes. The grand total of expenditure on these animals since the enactment of the original measure less than four years hack, Is )2.i0.000. The opposition was seri ous In lfflni. It was grave In 1800. With a quarter of a million dollars gone, thou r.nds of taxpayers "hollering" at the outlay and nearly the entire west side of Oregon unalterably opposed to paying the east side men money for coyote sport, the outlook for trouble at the session of 1102-3 Is as good as for the two pre vious sessions put together. The sheep men, who are chiefly Interested In the maintenance of the measure, understand this thoroughly, and It Is Inspiring to no ti the (steps they are preparing to take to ensure gaining their point next winter. Congressman-elect Williamson, who, as representative, fathered the coyote meas ure, recited the four chief objections to the law at the recent aoclatlonmeei '.ng. These were First, the cost of maintaining it; second, the difficulty ex perienced in keeping out foreign scalps; third, that It Is merely a discriminating law In favor of the sheep men; fourth, de crease in coyotes Is followed by Increase proportionally of rabbits. .The sheep men and the supporters of the "measure" generaflly, anticipate" (heir greatest difficulty In overcoming the first objection namely, the amount of hard, cold Oregon cash that will have to be put up annually to redeem the scalps. They argue, In reply, that the expenditure Is a necessity. The supporters of the coyote bounty law cairn that a six per cent annual loss was sustained by Oregon sheepmen be fore the measure passed. The predatory qualities of this scourge is hot often as sociated with anything but sheep and lambs. " Hence the third objection to the payment of $2 per that the- law requir ing It Is merely a sheepmen's law, bene ficial to no other classes. Hence, It Is argued, what benefits one special class should be paid for by that class alone. The answer to this third objection as )t will be made at the next session of Ore gon's Legislature, is that the losses in poultry alone are double the aggregate losses of the sheepmen from the coyote. This Is a startling statement Congress man Williamson says it Is a fact. There Is such a great diversity of opin ion over the fourth contention of the op position that it is possible to do little more than merely state the case. Oen eraly speaking, a man Is on one side or the other regarding the fourth objection, according to whether he Is for or against the bounty measure. Reports by counties of the sheepmen at the convention showed a unanimous sen timent for the 4aw. Umatilla is a fair example of how the measure affects cou tlas. In eighteen months 6323 scalps have been presented to County Clerk Cham berlain for redemption. This has In volved an expenditure of $12,646, of which Umatilla contributed $4215. The fight over the bounty law may toe said to be fairly on. So materially does it affect the powerful sheep interests that the struggle will probably rend the state as few IssueB have done. CITY SIDEWALKS. The new walks which the city has been putting down in the Hawthorne tract on the East Side were completed this morn ing and the men will be shifted to some other part of the city. The new walks are of concrete and covered a distance of 32 blocks, and add much to the beauty of that Bectlon of the city. CHINKS DISMISSED. Evidence in Gambling Case Not Enough to Convict.

A HERE SUGGESTION '' '. ' i , How an Improvement Can Be Easily Effected - "Do you know," said a certain business man about town yesterday, "that I have a suggestion to offer,, for Portland, now that she has begun to expand so rapidly. My attention was called this morning to a number of workmen who were engaged In repairing "a water main. To do so It became necessary for them to tear up the asphalt pavement "On another street I noticed that newer and larger water mains were being sub stituted for those which are too small for the demands made upon them. These two instances bring to my mind the sug gestion that I would like to make for the newer portions of the city. In the first place, in platting blocks for new addi tions, every block should be arranged as LATE QUE EM MARIE HENRIETTA. i Vi v r BRUSSELS,, Belgium, Sept. 23, The , remains , of . vQueen MarJ . Henrietta , , were placed In the crypt yesterday afternoon, where they will be kept until their removal to the mausoleum. On the arrival of the funeral, train at Laeken, at 3:40 p. m., the King and other members Of the. royal family descended to the waiting room, to which the coffin was removed. Bhortly afterwards the remains of the Queen were taken to a church, where the archibshop pronounced the absolution, after which the' coffin, followed by the King and other nobilities, was taken to the crypt. H v hye praying at the bier of her mother, the late Queen of Belgium, the Princess Stephanie, Countess of.Lonyaya. was informed that her father. King Leopold. wouM not under any circumstances receive her. It was hoped that the death of the Queen would bridge the rupture between the King and his daughter, but It seems as If Leopold 4s as firm as ever In his Inten tion to frown upon the match made by the Princess Stephanie. The Princess declares that she will return to England at once. to permit of a wide alley directly through the center. Through the alleys the water mains, sewer pipes and 'gas lines should be laid. If this Idea would be followed out when paving should once be laid It would become a permanent Improvement in reality, for It would not be necessary to disturb It for the sake of making re pairs to the water, gas and sewer sys tem. New towns could also well adopt this BUgxestlon, and if they would do so they would ilnd that their streets would be vastly Improved and more serviceable, as well as far superior to the mode now In vogue that of laying" all service pipes In the streets Instead ofjn the alleys."

STRATTON'S STRUGGLES Story of Colorado's Great Bonanzo King. BIG LOSS TO MINING WORLD Interesting Character Who Rose From Prospector to Millionaire, SAN JOSE, Cel.. Bept. 23.-The search for the world's greatest store of gold was cut short by the death of Wlnfield Scott Stratton, Colorado's bonanza king. Up .1 u U "i -;:.l-S'&ifc-.-i'.'f to the time of his death Mr. Stratton was spending $50,000 a month in sinking a shaft into the heart of Battle Mountain. Colorado, In order to lay bare the mother lode of precious metals from which all the fabuolously rich veins of Cripple Creek diverge. Had this work been suc cessfully consummated, the son of a pov-erty-Btrlcken boat-builder, himself for many years a carpenter, would have died unquestionably the richest man In the world. It would have been a fitting cli max to a life that reads like a boy's story book of adventures. Wlntield Scott Stratton was born at Jefferson vllle, Ind., on July 22, 1848, being the only son of Myron Stratton, a boat bullder of that town. Hard work at. his father's craft occupied the boy's early youth, but his own roving disposition and the lurid tales of returning '49ers from California soon made' him leave his home and drift rapidly out Into the golden West, as thousands of other young men were doing at that time. Unlike most other young men, however, Stratton let mines and mining strictly alone until he had earned by steady application to his work at a carpenter's bench a small capN tal of $3000. The latter portion of this sum was amassed at Colorado Springs, where In 1873 the young laboring man made his first venture Into the mining world. He put all his little fortune Into the Yretaba mine In the Cunningham gulch, and never received one cent of it back again. The experience gave him the mining fever, however, and a firm determination to get back from the bowels of the earth the money he had seen swallowed up there. It was the turnsig point of Stratton's career. He now felt an Irresistible desire to prospect for gold. Carpentering he pursued long enough each year to secure money for an outfit, and the rest of the time was spent In Investigating every mining settlement In Colorado. For al most 20 years Wlnfield Stratton sternly pursued this profitless life of treasure seeking and at last he "struck" it rich." The Fourth of July, 1891, gave the tireless prospector his reward in the staking out of the famous Independence mine at Crip ple Creek. From this property Stratton haa- been drawing gold at the- rate 'of $100,000. a month ever since that time. In deed, for many yeaVs he gave strict orders that his mine should no"t produce more than this income,' as he considered the gold inside a granite mountain was in a much safer' place than any bank or safety deposit vault could offer him. It Is even recorded that he sternly reprimanded his entire mine brew because during one month they Inadvertently sent out $50,000 too Tnuch. WHITE COLLAR LINE BOAT8.

CHANDLER A HAPPY MAN The State . Fair and Its Success Makes Him Smile With Glee. "Yes," said Geo. Cnanaisr. of the State Board of Agriculture, yesterday, when naked by a Journal reporter if he had anything to say about the State Fair this year. "Why, certainly, I always like to talk about good things. Of course, there is more Interest taken In the financial success of the fair than any other feature. This year. Including an outlay of $15,000 for Improvements, there will be something left over. We nave not completed ac counts yet, so do not know just how much the surplus will be, but It will doubtless be considerable. "The stock display and the track events were the best that have ever been on the grounds, with the exception of heavy horses. Disregarding one or two fake shows, which, managed to sneak In on us. everything was legitimate, and everybody who had a chance made money. 'I must say that the work of the exist ing State Fair Board has been excellent, four years ago the grounds, buildings and fences were in a bad state of repair. 'here was hardly a building or a fence on the premises that would stand without a prop. Last year we built 80 new stalls and this year we built 100 more, and yet the live stock exhibit was so large that some of the animals had to be tied to the trees. Why, I had intended , to make in exhibit myself, until 1 found that 1 would be apt y crowd somebody else out." COMMENDS THE OFFICERS. When questioned as to arrangements for next year, Mr. C.huudler replied: 'No. we made no arrangements for next year. We will do thut at our annual meeting. There is to be a new member appointed, however, to succeed Mr. Wehr- ung, who la president of the board. No doubt Mr. Wehrung will be reapw)lnted. If he- is not, the rest of us may as well adjourn. 1 count Mr. Wehrung nnd Mr. Wisdom, our president and secretary, the most competent men. In the state for their places." In jjwiicluslon Mr. J-'handler said: "If the people of Oregon could only be awak ened to the importance of. making the State Fair a big thing, and If they could lie made to appreciate tlje benefits which would be derived from successful fairs, the board would have a much easier time and could make a much better showing. In the East, each state appropriates never less than $00,000 for Its annual fair, while Oregon appropriates but $MKi0. Of course. we do not expect as great an appropria tion as Iowa gets. We can't afford It, but we hope for more liberal support. arid still better fairs." WALLA WALLA FAIR Beautiful Displays and Laree Crowd in Attendance. (Journal Special Service.) WALU WALLA, Sept. 33. With thousands of people thronging the huge pavilion, and with confetti tilling the ill, with the most magnificent displays ever seen in this city all about, the sixth an nual fruit fair was thrown open to the public at 8 o'clock last night. The event was one .of great Interest in , this city. where the Fair has grown to be a public nffair of Importance, In which an active personal Interest Is generally felt. The opening ceremonies were brief. The band played a patriotic air, and af ter a hearty applause had subsided. Ex- Governor Miles C. Moore stepped for ward and In a brief speech, declared the fair open and everything ready for In spection. He spoke of the prosperity of the country, of the great progress made In this valley and of the wonderful ef forts which had made such an exhibit possible. "The greatest fruit fair In the Northwest Is now open, and I trust the harvest home celebration this year wi'.l prove the most successful ever held," he said in closing. Amid thousands of electric lights and a magnificent display o( 'oooths by the merchants of the city, the fair presented a beautiful appearance, and brought forth hearty commendation'from those In attendance. The arrangement of the grounds is excellent, and the displays of fruits and vegetables' excels anything ever attempted here. SubscriDtlons received for The Journal at any of B. B.
