Judge Wlckerabam. who is temporarily filling Judge Npyea' plttce, is very popular and Is giving excellent satisfaction. Judge Alfred Moore, the presiding judge at Nome, is highly" es teemed.

Sixty miles west of Nome a rich quarts ledge has been discovered, and C. D. Lane of the Wild Goose Com pany will put In a stamp mill there next season. I ' think Nome will become a rich and permanent mining camp. THE NORTHERN TRADE. - Tn speaking of the trade conditions at Mom.

Coiosrnlng the story r-ibl'ihed In s local paper Wednesday evening to the effect that Q. Y. Harry, president of the State Federation of Labor, is ambitious to form a new political partj to be kni'.vn as the labor party, on the same lines r.s the one in exlstene in California, with himself as leader and pol'tieal boss, Mr. Harry speaks in scathing terms. He de nounces it as a plain and unvarnished prevarication from beginning to end, and emanating from a traitor to unionism. He sayB: "I was very much surprised upon reel ing the article last night, as I had no Idea that our enemies had reached such straits as to attempt in an underhanded way to discredit the labor movement tn our city and state. It Is the old tactics, however, with which the most of us are familiar, to undermine and destroy the usefulness of those who are trying to promote the labor movement by endeavor ing to create Internal dissensions. THERE IS NO FRICTION. "The facts are that at no time in the history of the labor movement In the State of Oregon have we had less friction than at present. We are Btronger numeri cally and present a more solid front than ever before, for the reason that we have not allowed any semblance of politics to enter Into our movement. There is no man In the movement who more strongly opposes small politics, wire pulling, slate fixing, etc., than I do. Of the many of fices I have held In the labor movement I have never' been a candidate, but have simply been the spontaneous choice of those. taterwatad.. ... , ... ., -v,s,i,.,i. NEVER A CANDIDATE. "For the office of State Labor Commis sioner I have never been a candidate. I have never asked any man or organization to support me. believing that the union men should feel perfectly free to exercise their choice without any Influence being brought to boar In the matter. "The article lied from one end to tne other. The whole thing Is a tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end. If it was Inspired by any union man he has violated the most sacred obligations In his attempt to destroy my usefulness to the laboring people of our state." WHOLLY FALSE. The newspaper article In question stated among other things thut when the office of labor commissioner was first talked of Mr. Harry consulted Messrs. Ort'oii. tlalley 'arii -Hutchinson lis Xfi tits chances for election to that position. They were accredited' with tnfnrmtfig htm that as he is a Democrat he would undoubt edly be "turned down" by the Republican Legislature. Then, according to tne ar- tfeJev. w. :"ff..l9JR.JW,! ",!9H circular was issued setting ' forth the opinion that organized labor should have the privilege of naming tne man tor mi Important office. As he had organized a majority of the unions outside of Portland he was confident of receiving their In dorsement. In due time he expected to be nominated, and if his candidacy was not looked upon with favor by the Re publican Legislature he would then ad vise the labor unions to organise a new party, and he would outline Its policy, etc. Mr. Orton was seen by The Journal representative and asked if Mr. Harry approached him relative to his chances of securing the office or labor commissioner. "No. he replied, "he never mentioned the subject to me.' J. S. Hutchinson said: "Mr. Harry never nsked me anything about what I thought his chances were for getting the nomination for tbe proposed Office of labor commissioner. At the time the executive board of the State Federation of Labor was in session 1 remember that we talked about a bill being prepared providing for the creation of such an office, but so far as I am aware nothing was said as to who would be a suitable candidate for the position." A. A. Bailey this morning said: !. Y. Harry never intimated to me that he is desirous of securing the position." THE COLUMBIA SAILS TOMGHT Elder Will Reach Portland Late This Afternoon. The steamer Columbia will sail for Sa Francisco tonight. The last of her cargo was completed this afternoon. She will go loaded to the guards, taking out over 1.500 tons, whtch consist of grain, paper and potatoes mostly. The Elder arrived at Astoria at 8 o clock this morning on the return trip.

D. W. Heilman, traveling representative of Waldhelms & Co., wholesale grocers, has just returned from a business trip on the Sound. Mr. Heilman says tnat it is with the greatest difficulty that a Seattle firm can be made to purchase any goods from Portland house. A much better grade of goods has to be offered at lower prices before any sales can be made. Accord ing tef Mr. Heilman.

Has Eccn in St. Paul for Several Days Yet Does Not Heed the Manufacturers' Letter Although President Mellen. of the Northern Pacific, has returned to St. Paul and has been there for several days, he has as yet sent no answer to the Man ufacturers' Association regarding its uuery... whether-, he. told jLJxiurnaX. re; porter that the Lewjs and Clark Fair would be a frost. This seems to confirm the statement In The Journal, ' that he does not care a rup for Portland, and Is pushing Seat tle forward to thu.lettiment of Port land. This he cannot very well do, as the Portland merchants and manufactur ers will not stand for It. The Manufac turers' Association is determined to probe the matter to the bottom, and If no an swer Is received by Monday another let ter will be sent him. The Portland merchants are resolved not to b. downed by Mr. Mellen or any other man, and wish to know the truth. What answer will Mr. Mellen give? Will he acknowledge the statement as his, which he must do, or will he apolo gize? These are other questions which ure tickling the senses of the curious. The other commercial organizations are postponing action until an answer is. re ceived by the Manufacturers' Associa tion. This Is not the case with many citizens they are convinced and are act ing accordingly. Many carloads of freight have been sidetracked from the Northern Pacific, ajid many more will be tuken from them when the answer Is re ceived. $2000 FOR THE " OREGON EXHIBIT Lewis and Clark Fair Directors Appropriate That Amount.
