TIIE 'OBEGOU" PAILY JOUKN'AL PORTLAND SATURDAY ETENTyG, NOVEMBER 22t 1902. EDDY NOW THE A Compact Formed to Make Speaker of the House of Representatives B. L. Eddy, of Tillamook County, It a candidate for the speakership of the House of Representatives of the Oregon Legis lature, under a compact entered Into with Walter F. Jack) Matthews at the last Republican state convention. He Is run ning now under the management of Mr. Matthews. The compact Included a clause whereby Eddy agreed to support H. W. Scott for the United States Senate, or any other man whom Mr. Matthews might want. .Another reciprocal clause lh the compact was that Mr. Matthews was to deliver the solid Multnomah County delegation to Eddy for the speakership. Instructed observers of Oregon politics, of course, draw this conclusion as abso lutely logical: In the even the compact be fruitful, Mr. Matthews will control the appointments of committees In the house, although Mr. Eddy will handle the gavel. ' It will be observed that this assertion, tallies with the exposure by The Journal on Thursday of the game of duplicity that Is being played by Mr. Matthews. The clause In the compact for Mr. Scott, or for any other man whom Mr. Matthews might want agrees with the statement that Mr. Matthews la ostensibly support ing Mr. Scott while In reality he Is en deavoring to align his forces for the re turn of George W. McBride to the United States Senate. , NO DOUBT OF MITCHELL AND M'GINN. It will be remembered that The Journal stated that there was no doubt that Sen ator Mitchell Is honestly supporting C. W. Fulton for the United 8tates Senate to succeed Joseph Simon. It was alBO stated that Senator Henry McGinn Is sincere In his advocacy of the election of Mr. .Scott to the United States Senate. These two propositions stand absolutely upon the basis of truth. Both of these statesmen are playing fair with the men to whom thev are pledged. M' BRIDE CONFIDENT OF MATTHEWS. Ex-Senator McBride left last evening for the East, presumption being that he went on to St. Louis, where he has duties as one of the United States commissioners of ths Louisiana Purchase Exposition. Ex-Senator McBride departed In the knowledge that his lieutenant. Jack Mat thews, Is faithful to the former's ambi tions for re-election to the upper national house, and that the sub-lieutenants of Mr. Matthews are faithful to the wishes of their chief, the astute chairman of the state- Republican committee. WHERE WOULD FULTON SUPPORT GO? Where would C. W. Tulton throw his support in the event he learned that he ould not be elected to the United States Senate? ThX Is a. question that ante tots- the x-.j,Axji.xa,ii j, iiiiiii, fit fff m MA V AMONG AMBITIOUS calculations of the politicians during these days. The most plausible theory is that he would ask his friends to vote for Sen ator R. A. Booth,- of Lane County. The friendship between Mr. Fulton and Mr. Booth la known to be Pythian in its character. They are such friends as causes each to look upon the other In a light different from the usual cold blooded loyalty of politicians for politi cians, who are accustomed to be grateful for favors to be received. INTIMATIONS BY BOOTH S FRIENDS. Of late Intimations have been thrown out by Mr. Booth's friends that the latter would be pleased to enwrap his form in a toga such as they wear who sit In the American House of Lords at Washington. There is a contingency, of course, for, from developments. It is apparent that Mr. Booth desires to see his Fidus Achates, the polished, brilliant lawyer, statesman, orator and legislator from the mouth of the Columbia, stand In the nation's capltol building as the compeer of Hoar, Quay et alii. The nature of the agreement between Mr. Fulton and Mr. Booth is that: Booth shall support Fulton .for the United States Senate; that he shall de liver the entire Lane County Republican delegation to Fulton, Including the entire support of Harris, of Lane, for speaker of the house. The hypothetical agreement, to be drawn from the situation, Is that, if Ful ton finds that he cannot Induce the legis lative tailors to provide for htm a toga a la United States Senate, Fulton will ask his supporters to vote for Booth. DOES M'BRIDE COME NEXT? Does McBride come next, in the order of preference by Mr. Fultote? There are reasons .for .. belle vfnar thal Jhe does. Of course, this involves Senator Mltnhell somewhat inasmuch as Mitchell is known to have said to his followers that he wants C. W. Fulton to go to Washington with him. It cannot be said Intelligently Just now what attitude Sen ator Mitchell would assume towards the McBride candidacy. He remains faithful to Mr. Fulton. He might agree to Mc- Bride, yet no one knows about that, and statement In the premises must perforce be pure speculation. However, it is aparent that there have been negotiations between Mr. Fulton and Mr. McBride. The latter has assiduously cultivated the Astoria statesman, and Mr. McBride is not a green hand atcul tivating politicians, as witness his elec tion to the United Status Senate after the fierce Dolph and antl-Dolph fight in 1895. One reason why The Journal has rapidly .gained circulation Is that It Is the only paper In Portland that dares to print the news. ink for- Qiim Be Cough -Trc4W. afcsfcsfcafcsfcsfcsfcsfcsfcsfcsfcsllafc I ED RI Are recognized as being SON, ----- ' "" Mill IHI MII.IWMMWMIMiMMMWW HHitwHMirHif,MmwfM4MiiMiiiiiMinMiiii him i miMW4HHIIIIMHIMtHMIJ h4 I Iltl ODD "mm It -Is" Still in Use in Baker Gty Was Once the Pride of the Whole Northwest, but Kow Is Sawmg Stone. ,. (Journal Special Service.) BAKER CITf. Nov. 22. The ' oldest piece of machinery In Eastern Oregon is an engine and boiler that is now being used for sawing sandstone where build ings are being erected In this city. Weatherbeaten, rust-spotted, tarnished and shabby, the old boiler wheezes and coughs and the engine leaks steam and sputters, but it still does the work re quired of it, despite 40 years of active service in the wilds of the Northwest. Its days of usefulness are not over by any means and It does work that would require 10 men with chisels and hand cutting tools. This old, dilapidated concern was once the pride of the Northwest. When Baker City was only a mining camp and while most of the other cities of the West were as yet unthought of this en gine and boiler were dragged across the plains and mountains by ox teams and put to work at the hoisting shaft of the Virtue mine. That was in 1863. For many years It strained away at the winch and brought the miners up from the depths in their car. Then the shaft became so deep that the machine no longer had power to do the work. It was sold and a new engine substituted. MAN Y OWN Kits. From ihal time uti'H the present the career of the bciler an 1 ciiK.ne has Dcon mottled. It worked in a sawmill, turned the planes in a dressed lumber factory, operated a rock-crusher, ground away at a woodsaw, and now has changed its oc- MpaMon. .mtltets arvd 3fcsfc)sJjfc4 labor-saving device for scaling rock. From outward uppearances the boiler Is an thin -as -tissue paper but it still con tinues to retain enough steam to make the engine whiz mid hum and the splin ters of sandstone shower about the workmen. To use the words Of its owner, 'It is a durn good contrivance yet." THE BAGGAGE SMASHER'S WISDOM. The othr day an express wagon .tilled with trunks rattled up Broadway, and Just opposite the post-office a big Sara toga slid off and came crashing down on the car tracks. Seeral people ran out from the sidewalk to rescue It. but the trunk proved to be empty, and there was little damage done. "Now. if that had been full." a.ild one old gentleman to the expressman, "you'd have had. a fine old time with it." Huh." 'retUed the bur gage charioteer, scornfully," "full trunks don't fall off by themselves. You got to fling them off!" New York Commercial Uivertlfwr. - - .rfr "t" "t""t""fl" 1 lllflttl'l !

Nov. 21. -Politics Is an ever-live topic In New Voi, Scarcely does one campaign pa befora plans are instituted fdr the next. This fact Is em phasised by the preliminary maneuver ing already under way f r the great mayoralty struggle of next year. As It appears a year ahead of the election, the situation Is distinctly f.iorab!o to the re turn of Tammany to power. Despite the fact that the -organiEmlnrt i year ago was defeated, demoralized, disgraced and left without a leader, it has aifaln dis played marvelous powers of recuperation. No one can deny that Tammany has been rehabilitated In no small measure by the recent election it has discovered a new leader In Charles F. Murphy, who haa.flne gift of silence and a level head. Success has confirmed him !n his place of authority. The old organization, there fore, enters the. new year with renewed strength and with the advantage of an unmlstakeable reaction againt the re form administration of the city govern ment. There is no surer way to judge the rapid growth of New York than by the continual demand for rapid transit facil ities. Even though the underground rail road will soon be finished and the city Is assured of the Pennsylvania tunnel, there will be a demand for another sys tem as soon as these are i:i operation. Indeed, this demand Is already heard and will grow in intensity as soon as tt Is discovered that the subway and Pennsyl vania, tunnel will ho more than meet the needs of the present and will not materi ally provide for the needs of the future. The city is, in fact, renewing Jtself every decade. Mayor Low has Just called at-tnJn-the' fBPt 'tHfit Mfrimi; ratios tilled in 25 years ago were hotv being dug out, because It was discovered that not more land, but more pier room was need ed. The great office buddings of today will become antique In 10 or 15 years, and so the march of progress continues. With a Democrat serving as attorney general. Governor Odell jvill probably be compelled to make use of the law which permits him to appoint a special legal adviser for himself. Governor Roose velt had such an, .adviser, but Governor Odell decided that he loull save the money by relying upon the attorney-general. But he did not reckon on having a democratic attorney-general. The Horse Show, which closes today, is the most successful that New York has had in its history. Added to the usual quota of distinguished American vthitors there have been among the guests of the exhibition several of the- noted for eigners who came to the United States to attend the dedication of the New York Chamber of Commerce last week as repT fc-esentatlves of different European coun- t 'H"H"t t 'f''r'fr 4',,l' '"''' ht'l' I'il t'l'ttTttt H t H I I ttTTTTT the FINEST GOODS put up in cans. trles.

At the last examination only 200 of the 1.200 candidates paased the mental tests. Special precautions are being taken this year to prevent any leaks In the ex amination papers, as this has caused much trouble tn previous years. The new Orthodox Greek Church, which Is being constructed, is rapjAJy nearing completion. It will be an Imposing edi fice when finished from both an exterior and Interior point of view. Tho church Is to be dedicated with great ceremony on the J3d of next month when Count Casslnt, the Russian Ambassador at Washington and his entire staff will be present One of the first wee'd ng to be celebrated In the edifice" will be that of Mile Des Planques, guest of the Countess Cassfnl, and soon ' to be presented to American society through her hostess and Mr. Alexander Pavlow of the Russian diplomatic service. The church movement is at Its best In New York this year. Now several Catho lic clergymen in Greater New York are advocating the building ITT this city of the largest and most magnificent house of worship in the world. As yet the scheme is in embryo. But the plans -are 'sufficiently matured for the announce ment to be made that the new edifice will cost Jir.,0ft0,000. A famltar figure of recent years at the Metropolitan Opera House during the seasonbT grand opera ha3 been Alffed Duane Pell. This year, however he will be missed, for following the example of Anson Phelps Stokes, who deserted the ranks fif society for the ministry two years ago, he will be ordained to preach next month. Mr. Pell Is well known in club life in Manhattan and society will miss him greatly. - Next month tho National Civic Feder- atlon's industrial department will hold an annual meeting here. Nearly all the members of the executive committee, of which Senator Hanna is chairman, are expected to be present. The l'ederatlon has sent to 500 manufacturers a list of questions relating to the employment of labor, laws, wages, restrictions, organi zations, etc., and the replies received to these will be a feature of the meeting. The problem of compulsory or voluntary arbitration will alao be discussed. However It may be accented in other states, officers of the posts around New York are not enthusiastic over Adj. -Gen.

Frequenters of Wall streot who have been watching the operations of that pe culiarly Interesting set known as the Waldorf crowd these days, are convinced that Its practice Is to quit the market each day as nearly "flat" as possible. Its play has been almost cxilusively on the short side for many weeks, but it takes quick profits, covering one day and selling the next if It deems the market momentarily vulnerable. By shifting lis accounts to the selling -side two months ago the Waldorf crowd shrewdly antici pated 'monetary embarrassments and it has had a tremendous advantage In the market ever.aitice.
