Tha battle between A. B. Oroasman,
representing the business men of Port
land, and F. A. Bancroft, who U credited
with being the nominee of tha "Jack"
Matthews faction of tha Republican par
ty, for the appointment ,ae postmaster of
Portland, did not come to a finish on Sat
urday in Washington, as was expected,
and now the announcement is made that
nothing will be done Ull Congress recon
vene on January i. y .' v
The cause of the delay undoubtedly lies
In the fact that tha Oregon delegation.
Senators Simon and Mltohelt- -have not
been able to come to any understanding
dn the matter. Senator Simon Is now on
his way to Portland and will probably
arrive here Tuesday night or Wednesday
morning, at which time If the Senator
will talk-the exact atatus of the case wjU
doubtless be learned.. , .' ; :. ,;
Opinion in Portland Is general that the
delay in the appointment is favorable to
Croasman,' tha present ' Incumbent, and
It la thought extremely doubtful that the
President will ignore the very general -
mand from tha prominent business bouse
of tha city for his reappointment. .
That the people of both parties through
out the state take a very active Interest
In the matter and that the conditions
which surround the fight are by them
thoroughly understood Is to be seen by
the appended quotation from a recent Is
sue of the Salem Capital Journal, which
says -under the head, 'The Portland Post
office Case:"
"Practically, all the business men of
Portland have united In a demand- that
President Roosevelt re-appoint Postmaster
Croasman, of that town, as. a protest
against the assumption of State Chair
man Matthews to dictate the appoint
ment. "Nearly 1,000 names of business men
have gone down in a formal manner
and been preeented to President Roosevelt
through Congressman Moody business
men -representing nearly 1100,000,000 of
capital. -- ......
'This unanimity of sentiment to retain
worthy and competent official over
rides all factional differences within the
party, and oxtends beyond partisan lines.
The Republican party and the people of
Portland sink all differences when it
comes to sustaining Mr. Croasman.
"When the caae comes fullv before
President Roosevelt It' will be found to be
one of the squares t on the records, in
which the. party and the- Beoole demand. a
jponnnuance .of a gentlemanly and Able
omciai, and a single self -constituted boss
assumes to dictate his successor.
8 till more squarely on its feet is this a
case where a boss assumed to demand the
removal .of competent subordinates, some
of whonl have been appointed at his own
request, when he was assistant postmas
ter at romand. -, j . .
'Because he cannot have elerka and
outer employes removed at his pleasure.
ne aeciares lie will have a postmaster
appointed who will do his bidding.. This
threat coming from a man who was at
the same time Republican Stat Chair
man and -United States Marshal, Is on i
vi mo moei reroarxaDie cases of offensive
partis-nsnm in the history of polities.
"If Mr. Jack Matthews is sustained in
his fight for prestige from a purely spoils
basis, neither for the good of tha service
nor the party, the effect will be far-reach
ing politically. It will turn Portland up
side down, and may affect state politics

Weather God Did Not Do WeU by
. , inosc ; wtsoing to Sow
In the opinion of H W. McComas, one
of (he moat prominent grain buyers of
iaatern Oregon, and a resident of Pendle
ton, the amount of wheat that rolls Port-
landward from tha valleys of the Uma
tilla, Walla Walla and Columbia will bo
curtailed durln the coming; season, be
cause of the leakage from the Willamette
Valley that. for once gave' tha first men
tioned sections too much rain. Mr. Mc
Comas Is In Portland today on business.
and In speaking of the crop outlook, said:
"Too much rain is the cry this fail fend
winter, - where before the prevailing in
clination has been toward droufifr-lf.it
ever varied from exactly what it should
do.' This rain, coming at a time wben
the farmers should have been engaged
In sowing their fall wheat, prevented this
i work, and not. more than So per cent -of
the acreage bas been covered,.' Winter
wheat Is always the best producing, and
' for this reason noxt year's crop will be
short. -.-yv .;. -
: WEtL SHIPPED OUT.
"The crop of 1902 has been welt cleaned
out. i Umatilla County produced 8,500,000
hnshels of wheat this year. There, ia
about 10 per cent, of this that has not
been shinned out. and some of that re
maining- is already sold., This same con-;
dltlon, both as to. shipment and super
abundance of moisture, applies equally to
the Walla Walla Valley. Prevailing
prices have been- good and the farmer
ns a rule "have done we!l:V
Mr. McComas believes that the rebuke
that was administered to Eastern Ore
gon through turning down by the people
of W. J. Furnish, the Pendleton candi
date for governor, is alone responsible
for the failure of Judge Stephen A. Low-
ei to appear as a senatorial canaiaate.
VIEWED FROM AFAR.
"Wo flf the East Bide are viewing the
political battle from afar," said Mr. Mc
Comas. "We had our little fling and lost.
Although we have not yet sat down, w
have gone 'way back,' and are Just
'standing' 'round. Of course, we take
an interest in the senatorial fight, but
that Interest Is not particularly near
home. I do not believe the East 84de
has a candidate. I have never heard
one discussed, -

tion and energy -over our way. Th9 la
