PARTY MACHINE IS
AGAIN GRINDING
-4 1 .
G. C Brownell Withdraws From Race for Senate
Presidency for Value Received and Kuy
kendall' Is Bound to Win.
Dr William Kuykendall of Lane
county hu received the endorsement ot
Senator Mitchell and Senator Fulton an
their candidate for president of the aUte
senate at the next session of the legis
lature. and they announce to the public
thut George C. Brownell ha formally
withdrawn from the race. The price
paid to Brownell to Induce him to with
draw la not made known, but shrewd
Observers believe that United Statea Dls
trlct Attorney John Hall ha reaaon to
be shaking in hla shoes, and that hie
hopes of reappointment have received a
mortal blow.
The deal waa consummated late yes
terday afternoon at a protracted confer
ence between the two United States sen
ators. Kuykendall. Brownell and R. a
Booth, atate senator from Joaephlne
county, and the head of the Booth-Kelly
Lumber company. The presence of
Booth at the conference waa not the
least significant of the clrcumatances
attending It, for It la a well known face
that Kuykendall la backed by the Booth
Kelly company, and it may be confl
dentiy expected that the famoua lor
Sins bill which they attempted to force
through the legislature In 1901 will
make ita reappearance at the coming
session.
The chances of the election of a Mult
nomah man a the presiding officer of
the senate have probably gone glimmer
ing. With the backing of both United
Statea aenatora and of the corporation
which wlelda the biggest political Influ
ence In southern Oregon, Kuykendall s
prospects of success could scarcely be
better, even If there were no truth In
the report that Brownell Insisted aa one
of the condltlona of his withdrawal that
State Senator Frank P. Maya should be
eliminated from the contest
Senators Is Saddle.
In spite of all their protestations that
they would take no hand In the organ
isation of the legislature, Senators
Mitchell and Fulton are directly charg
ble with the deal that has been con
summated and their action la unmis
takable notice to the Republican poli
ticians of the state that the two sen
ator do not propose So relegate the
manipulation of the machine to their
lieutenants. It la especially unwelcome
to Jack Matthews and bis organisation,
coming as It does upon the heels of'tbe
defeat in the June election and the en
forced retirement of Cader Powell and C.
A. Burckhardt. Matthews' most trusted
subordinates, from participation in local
politics.
So recently as last Saturday Senator
Fulton declared Jn unequivocal terms
that he had taken no band In the fight
over the presidency of the state senate
and did not expect to do so. Senator
Mitchell had made an almost equally
positive statement a few days before.
Forty-eight hours after Senator Fulton's
declaration both be and his colleague
were deep in the negotiations which
culminated late yesterday afternoon.
Brownell's Dunning . '
It Is well known that at the last reg
ular session of the legislature Brownell
entered Into a solemn compact, with
Kuykendall whereby he pledged himself
to support the Lane aenator for the
presidency of the senate In 1905. Sen
ator Fulton waa preaent when the agree
ment was made. Early thla year Kuy
kendall publicly announced hlmaelf a
candidate for the place, and It waa with,
unpleasant surprise that he and his
friends learned not long afterward that
Brownell had also secretly entered the
lists, apparently utterly regardless of
the promise he had made. The Clack
amas stateaman made no noise about hla
candidacy but entered upon a gumshoe
campaign which thoroughly alarmed ins
competitor. As soon as Fulton came
back from Washington, Kuykendall ap
pealed to him to compel rownell to live
up to hla agreement. But Brownell was
stubborn. He declared that Fulton had
failed to make him United Statea dis
RESULTS OF RACES
AT ASTORIA REGATTA
Spoclnl Dlapstrh to The Journal )
Astoria. Or., Aug. 2t. The opening of
the regatta here today followed the mors
pretentious coronation ceremonies and
diverted the attention of the great crowd
of visitors to the waterfront.
A cutter race between crews repre
senting the lighthouse tenders Man
sanitaand Heather was the firat event.
The boats came In bow and bow. but
the Heather crew spurted at the last mo
ment snd won by the fraction of a
length.
Tlie whaleboat race between crews
from the Wyoming was also hotly con
tested. The single shell event resorted In sn
easy victory for Shearer of Victoria.
The men raced over a mile course. Me

boat early In the race and was delayed,
and later capslsed, putting him out of
It. Shearer had a better boat than
JAPANESE SHIP LOST
OFF GOTO ISLANDS
(Josraal Special Service. )
London, Aug. 14. An agent of
Lloyds st Nagasaki telegraphs that the
Japanese steamer Akunoura Mam has
been lost off the Goto Islands. Part of
the crew were saved and landed. The
steamer is supposed to have struck an
uncharted rock, and although reports
from the wreck are meager, It is known
that the vessel sunk In deep wster
within a very few minutes after the
accident occurred.
Little time was given for the launch
ing of life boats, and a part of the
sailors and firemen were drowned.
NEGRO ROBBER FOUND
DEAD ON MOUNTAIN
(Special HI patch tn Tbe Journal )
Hope. Idaho, Aug. 24. Two negroes
made several robberies In this seottor
yesterday. One was tracked up the
mountain aide by the officers and found
shot In the heed. It Is not known
whether It la a case of suicide or acci
dent The body waa brought here. The

ad rabbet thesa ut money, Jewelry and.
trict attorney, and tin events had ab
rolved him from hla ,pwn promise to
Kuykendall.
The situation was fast-becoming seri
ous. Brownell was steadily gaining
strength and he waa making overtures to
members of the Multnomah delegation
which promised to result In further al
liances. When the Oregon congres
sional delegation met w weeka age
to consider the recommendation of a
successor to United States District At
torney Hall, Brownell sprung a surprise
by announcing to both Mitchell and Ful
ton that he was no longer an aspirant
for the position. It was equivalent to
notice that he proposed to play a lone
hand, and there was no longer any doubt
that hla candidacy for president of the
senate was a serious one.
The fight apparently Imminent over
the presidency of the senate threatened
grave oonaequences to the two United
States senators. Mitchell declared him
self in favor of Brownell for the place,
while Fulton was committed to the sup
port of Kuykendall. With both of these
candidates In the field It was reasonably
certain that Multnomah would also pat
forward some one from thla county,
making a triangular fight which might
split the organisation wide open. The
consequences of such a spilt could not
but be diaaatrous to Senator Mitchell's
hopes of re-election, and might affect
Senator Fulton as well. But one thing
could be done Brownell must be
brought to terms and induced to pull out
of the race.
This waa the purpose of the negotia
tions which were brought to a success
ful consummation yesterday afternoon.
Cost Za Unknown.
In politics, as in everyday life, when
a hold-up la perpetrated, no one know
Just how much Is realised by the man
behind the gun unless his victims see
fit to make It public. In this case the
twe senators refuse do talk.
The e,dlfylng assertion Is made by
both Fulton and Mitchell that "Brownell
never was a candidate for the presidency
of the senate" but the words are plainly
Intended In a Pickwickian sense. Both
of the senators speak In warmest term
of their strong friendship for the gen
tleman from Clackamaa and of their
admiration for his distinguished abil
ities. They take, occasion to say that
his services to themselves and to the
party demand that he shall be given
"some position commensurate with his
deaerts as a faithful and prominent
member of the Republican party," and
both Intimate plainly that he will have
their support. ,
nap for Kuykendall.
The withdrawal of Brownell from the
contest over the presidency of the sen
ate seems to make easy going for
Kuykendall. Friends of Senator Mays
of Multnomah declare that he Is not a
candidate for the place and has made no
effort to line up support for himself.
Indeed he could not entertain much
hope of success for even with the united
support of his own county ha would
still be far from the goal. He would be
bitterly opposed by the Moody senators
from Rastem Oregon, and he could hope
for little help from the southern part of
the state. Rand of Baker has been
mentioned as a possible aspirant but
this Is apparently without much foun
dation. Rand has dreams of the guber
natorial nomination two years, hence.
Whether the Booth-Kelly Lumber
company proposes to put forward a can
didate for speaker of the lower house la
as yet a matter of conjecture. Kay of
Marion lias been msklng a vigorous
fight for the place, and according to his
own estimates of his strength he lacks
only a few votes to win. Bailey of Mult
nomah was put forward some time ago
as the nominal candidate of the
Matthews machine, but he la generally
regarded as merely a stalking horse to
draw the fire of the opposition. He is
looked upon as good food for powder.
Waltt. also of Victoria, arid won by sev
eral lengths.
The moto; boat race proved exciting.
There were two entries. John E. Wolff
of Portland, and Oliver P. Qraham.
Wolff's boat was run by Mrs. Wolff. She
got a slight lead at the start and over
a four-mile course the boata maintained
the positions taken at first, Wolff win
ning by three feet.
The four-oared shell race, juniors, was
the principal event of the morning, and
resulted In an easy victory for the Van
couver crew. The Portland four was
never In It and lost by three lengths.
The Vancouver four used a Portland
shell.
The four-oared junior race between
two Astoria crews resulted In a close
finish. The morning program waa made
more Interesting by the diving exhibi
tions and log-rolling contest, tub races
arid other similar events In front of
the grand stand.

200 reports were heard. Boata were
ahot full of holes, and the men had
great difficulty in reaching tbe schooner.
From York's statement the men were
evidently hunting In prohibited terri
tory. A sealer named Warner suffered a
flesh wound. The men In the Carmen
cita were unable to- protect themselves,
as they were without weapons. The
boat withdrew from the neighborhood of
tbe island.

MANY INVOLVED IN
FORECLOSURE SUIT
(Special Dlspateb to The Journal.)
Roseburg. Or., Aug. 24. Al Creason
has just filed a suit In the circuit court
here against L. DBnd M. J. Kinney to
foreclose a mortgage of $12,000 on prop
erty known as Kinney's addition to tbe
city of Roseburg, composed of 1,070
acres ot land.
What makes the caae more complex Is
that a number of lots have been bought
and homes erected which brings many
people Into the case.
In 1901 Major L. D. Kinney started
what Is known as the Great Central
railroad boom and attempted to sell al
most two sections of land upon Its pre
tensions and It Is said that considerable
outside capital waa enlisted In the cause.
Kinney's plan did not work so that
he could pay for the land originally.
He thus left those who had Invested In
the property In the form of lota in a
fair way to lose all they have Invested
In their homes, which In some cases Is
practically their all. -
STONE MASONS AT
LA GRANDE STRIKE
(Special Dispatch tn The Journal.)
La Grande, Or., Aug. 24. A strike
among tbe atone masons, who are at
work on the foundation for the (0-room
addition for the Hotel Foley, took place
yeaterday. Seven men employed wore
union men and later a non-union man
joined them. The prealdent of the I. a
Grande Stonemasons' union was among
them, and the contractor says that the
trouble arose over him trying to per
suade the non-union man to join them.
He says he objected to the president In
terfering with the matter at all, which
rouaed all the union men. causing them
to lay down their tools and quit.
There Is no one at work on the foun
dation now, which Is about half com
pleted, and It Is possible that a crew of
men will have to be Imported.

that a gun. loaded with buckshot, waa
provided with a safety attachment, a
young lad named Carothera of Caneraah.

trigger. An explnslpn followed, several'
buckshot striking tbe young woman on
the hand and hip. end another producing
a quite painful wound In the back of her
head.
While the Injuries are not necessarily
serious, the accident would have resulted
fatally but for the fact that the victim
was about 200 feet distant when he gun
was discharged.

OUTLOOK OF HOP
MARKET ALLURING
(Special Dispatch to Tbn Journal.)
Seattle, Aug. 24. Rare prospects for
wealth are before the hopgrowera of the
state. A profit of $500 per acre will be
made by hop ranchers In the White.
Green. Puyallup and Stuck river valleys
this year. Buyers are offering contracta
at $6 to iti cents a pound, but the
outlook in the open market Is too allur
ing to ths farmers, and they are sign
ing very few contracts even at the high
prices held out to tempt them.
With a virtual failure of tils English
crop and trouble in the east, hopgrowera
on the coast are pretty certain of big
prices. The brewers are going Into the
new year with almost no stock on hand,
and all other hop consumers must buy
heavily. Washington hops are In re
markably good condition. The hops are
free from vermin this year, and picking
will begin early In September.
The good weather has advanced the
crop fully 10 days ahead of Its usual
condition at this time, and there will
be plenty of pickers to harvest the ber
ries. For the most part tbe workers In
the hopflelds will be whites, for tbey
are preferred to Indiana The seals of
$1 a box is to be aooepted generally In
western Washington, and probably will
be the figure in the hopgrowing dis
tricts east of tbe Cascades.
It Is estimated that there are between
35,000 and 40,000 acres of hopflelds un
dsr cultivation this year, and of this
amount Yakima and the adjacent valleys
will have 17,000 acres.
