Considerable Senatorial
Gossip Flying
Sol. Hirsch's Death Win Compel
a Readjustment in
Portland
Thi death of Solomon Hlrich,
who was a wall known factor In
tha Senatorial situation In Port
land, haa compelled a raadjnat
ment of the affiliations not only in
tna city, but throughout the state.
S. W. Oorhett and W. D. ronton
are now being- talked of by many
people as among those likely to
out. a fig-are In the fight to suc
ceed Senator Joseph Blxnon.
a-
.....
The most slgnlfloant featured of the
Week In the senatorial situation was
the removal by death of Solomon Hirsch
from the ranks o'f the available candl-
available, and it is certain that he'
wielded Immense influence with all sec
tions of the Republican party. He was
peculiarly a man who kept in touch with,
the situation, and yet , who,, Jnever had
any personal enemie..' Uo ilminato
such a man from the, political forces .of
the state is to compel somewhat of a re
adjustment. Politicians are speculating
asto what will be the effect of the death
ofMr. Hirsch. 't
Purlng the past few days there has
been talk of H. W. Corbett as a sena
torial possibility. Although it is quite
certain that he is not a candidate, yet
hta; name enters into the speculations of
the people who, lacking definite facts,,
mast Indulge their propensity for guess
ing. Mr. Corbett has said lately that he
is out of politics, and that he wishes to
remain out Notwithstanding this, his
name Is not lost $lght of in the present
campaign.
W. D. FENTON TALKED OF.
There may be ' nothing written or
spoken of concerning ttve senatorial cam-
patgn- wtttwut -trortift id fflerei "gossip?
.pew raots are m hand. This is pe
culiarly true ef this campaign.- Usually
ot this time of year. Just before a ses
sion of the Legislature which is to elect
a senator, the movements of the parties
to the fight are known to more people
than appear now even to claim they have
Inside Information.
One fact has been apparent, however,
that W. D. Fenton has forged to the
front lately, and that throughout the
state his name receives frequent men
tion. One of the members of the Mult
nomah County Republican delegation
Stated to The Journal that the delega
tion was quite friendly towards Mr.'
Fenton, and that some of them would
really prefer him to any other candi
date. ,
C. W. Fulton Is making his own fight,
having no manager. He lays his own
plans, and carries them out. He has
made thorough canvass of the state;
and returned to Astoria the other day
to rest, remarking to The Journal as im
passed through Portland that he was
confident of election.
The Fulton people propose to risk all
upon the Issue of a caucus. They want
ft, caucus, for the reason that they be
lieve they could win out The anti
Fulton workers turn back the pages .ot
the record and point to that which tells
of Mr. Fulton and his friends remaining
out of caucus at a former election, and
they assert, at least some of them do,
that they propose to return to Fulton

administered to others.
The caucus question is being earnestly
debated Just now, with no indications
that could be said to warrant final
guesses.
STATE SCHOOL LANDS.
. -While a Journal representative was In
the office of Alex Sweek, today, looking
for political news, a prominent citizen
of Portland entered and submitted a
proposition for Senator Sweek to take
up and present to the Legislature, touch
ing the handling of fytate school lands.
Senator Sweek, although deeply inter
ested, did not agree to stand sponsor
for the plan, which was:
That the Legislature decree that not
An acre of school land shall be sold dur
ing the coming two years, between the
1903 and 190S sessions of the Legisla
ture. That a non-partison commission be
appointed to ascertain h amount ef
.achool lana- remstBiitg. -faith ptfittt-
ion of the state.
That valuations be learned of all
tracts In the state:
That a plan be formed by the com
trtnnion for the future handling of the
lands so as to conserve the interests
Of the school system and provide as
large a fund as possibje.
Senator Sweek himself has in hand
tho tax law, which he introduced and pi
loted through the last session, and which
must be amended In some particulars.
Ho does not intend to ask for any radi- !
reasohr
"The existing law has not yet had a
fair test There has really been only
one collection under it. and it Is too new
a law to bo finally Judged. As to some
of the minor details, I beliove there
should be some changes, but In the main
It should remain as it is until we have
had a test such as several years would
PPly.
"I see some merit In the proposition
relating to the state school land matters.
A commission properly selected would
consist of men who possess, knowledge
of land business, and also there shouid
be upon It representatives of the heavy
business interests of the' - state. It
should be non-partisan, and should be
Willing to do some hard work. But the
results would Justify h4abor. -would
operate to the building up si the school
fund, and provision for the children of
tho future would be made, Tha lands
have been selling at' too low a rate of
valuation In the past. While I am not
. prepared to take charge of auch a
measure, I' believe that It offers oppor
tunity for some one to do something for
himself, before the people and perform
. Invaluable services to Oregon." 4.

New Charter
Eastern Oregon Hen Say They Are
Entitled to the Sena
torial Toag.
Eastern Oregon politicians are
Seriously considering the holding
up of the Lewis and Clark Fair
appropriation and the new charter
for tho City of, Portland unless .
their demands for tho formation
of a new Judicial district are ac
quiesced In by the Multnomah
legislative delegation. liuncli
grass statesmen are out for the
toga and mean business.
f Journal Speclal'Service.)
BAKER CITY, Dec. 10. Baker County
and all of Eastern Oregon are In the
ttawajpi an .f cujg, noiy V9.ar&.
But"it, isf aa "under the surface, and dn
top and In the local Journals all in
smooth and placid.
Baker County and .the rest of Eastern
Oregon believe thchave the political
situatio.a'bjMhe thrpttla. Perhaps thay
have. . ' .' ' c -. '.
They Jtrgue heri:
Multnomah County wants nml must
have the half million dollar appropria
tion for the Lewis and Clark Fair. It
is either this or die of stagnation.
Portland wants a new city charter;
for the old one is obsolete.
Portland must have a speaker of the
house and a president of the Senate
favorable to these measures, or perhaps
they may fall.
Baker County has a population of
22,000 and more wealth than any other
county in tho state only few excep
tions. Yet she has only one representa
tive in the Legislature iind a third inter
est In a Stute Senator.' Many Webfoot
counties with less population, wealth
and Importance have a senator and two
renresentfltti'es. ......
T.-iiaker.J&HUity rejUiies .timt this cannot
be remedied at present under the law,
but slyt.wants other things to mako this
discrepancy good.
Baker County wants to be formed into
a separate Judicial district and she will
be or know the reason why. The plan is
to retain the present judge and to have
T. H. Crawford Of 1'nion County ap
pointed Judge of that district. Eastern
Oregon will get this or know the reason
why.
A BUNCHGR ASS SENATOR.
Eastern Oregon also wantB the 1'nitei!
States Senator to succeed Senator Simon,
and It begins to look now as if t-liu
would succeed The Indications are that
If Multnomah gets the appropriation
and the charter the , senatorship will
come to" the bunehgrass.
Eastern Oregon has four candidates,
some of them avowed and some other
wise. They are:
IIobl- M. A. Moody of The, Dalles.
Hon. W. R. Ellis of Umatilla.
Hon. S. A. Lowell of Umatilla.
Hon. John L. Rand of Baker.
THE ASPIRANTS COMPARED.
. In Republican aawell as in Democrat
ic circles here-Congressman Moody Is
regarded as the logical candidate, for the
simple reason that he has Kiyfii. the
region and the state such valuable serv
ice while In Congress. It is known that
ho Is making no effort to obtain, the
place and should the litrfetning; stril?
him It Witt be because tli office souglti
the man. -
Utopian candidate and he will probably
not receive the consideration he de
serves.. ......
It will be well to draw the veil of
charity over the race of Judge Ellin,
who cut but few lemons in politics even
In his palmiest days.
Hon. John L. Rand perhaps does not
know that he is a candidate as his law
business keeps him busy, still under the
peculiar existing circumstances circum
stances that occur only at rare Intervals
Mr. Rand Is probably the most power
ful factor in the next Legislature. He
can obtain almost anything he may de
mand and can no doubt name Senator
Simon's successor if he goes about It In
the right Way. He. may not only be abl
to do that but he may be able to land
the plum himself if :te wants to. He
has not said that he wants to yet. In
fact Mr. Rand has not been doinK much
talking here of late. Like ' Bre r rabbit

FOREST RESERVE MATTERS.
Judge' M. D. Clifford of Canyon City.
Grant County, is Jn tho city, visiting his
family, who are remaining in Portland
during the winter. Judge Clifford was
asked by .The Jourftal for some political
news, and replied that the people of
Grant County are more Interested in the
issue of the forest reserve question than
in,.any other. 3.
3Aheut'.'.. thr&&ffirths, ,'inf , ilia county
was to be included In tie forest reserve,
according to the tentative order Issued
some time ago. and we naturally desire
to secure modification of the order. This
is what we really hope to accomplish,"
said the Judge., "There will be a, re
serve, in all probability, and the best we
can do is to induce the Government to
leave out therefrom as much as possible.
I have no personal -knowledge.,, of the
boundaries of the pfoposed reserve, but
do know that It leaves so little that
Grant County would bo scarcely' large
enough to call a county." - -

Narrowing Down
The contest for United States
Senator from Oregon is narrowing
down. In this city this morning
Stata Senator B. A. Booth, of
Lane County positively denied
that he would make the race, and
as firmly annonncod that all in
his power would he done to in
sure the selection of C. W. Fulton.
He said Tnlton's chances are the
best.
Not In any sense Is State Senator R. A.
Booth of Eugene, Lane. County, Ore., a

All use of his nsme In connection with
avpiratlons toward this office huve been
unauthorized by him.
Not only Is Mr. Booth not a candidate
himself, but he will use his best efforts
In the Interests of O. W. Fulton. He be
lieves Mr. Fulton to be the best man for
the place, and to stand tho best chance
of cettlnff It.
Mr. Boolh came to Portland Thursday
evening to attend a meeting of tho For
est Protective Association and spent a
goodly portion of this morning In confer
ence with those who are joining with him
in the effort to make 'future forest fires
Impossible In the Stale of Oregon. A re
porter for The Journal found him at the
Hotel Imperial this morning. AltliouKh
In a hurry. Mr. Booth was not adverse to
being interviewed. He had no wish to

J'l am certainly not a ' candidate for the
office of I'nlted Plates Senator," he said.
"Any use thathns been made- of my

without my sanction and approval. I am
nut in the running, do not want the place
and most certainly will not pet It."
Mr. p.oolh wool I say nothing regarding
the position of tluvcrrnr Oeer further

titled to bis own views regarding the
plain duty of the Senators and Represen
