Faithful and hard-wprking members

' ranged for a monster affair at the oam
jail day and the evening of Thursday,
i August 9, lor tha oenent or sick ana
dleabled members of the order, of which
there has been an unusual number of
late. The general committee In charge
of arrangementa la composed of the
'following sctlve members of the asso
' elation: Oscar Stanley, A. C. Buma. O.
W. P.; James Morgan, East Ankeny; A.
M. Singleton, Savier; C. J. Anderaon,
' Piedmont.
Every merchant In the city Is lending
support and Influence to help the boys
along and many volunteer offers have
come, which tenda to encourage the ef
fort of members to enlist the good-will
of the public and incidentally help a
' worthy cause. The benefit to take place
'at the Oaks will occupy the program
ifor the entire day and every cent that
is taken In by the sale of tickets will
be retained by the car boys. This is
without reservation or exception.
Tickets will toe placed on sale within
' the next day or two, and Judging from
',the advance orders already received it
. goes without saying the sale will be
. a heavy one. Whenever you see a but
ton on a coat lapel reading, "August
I, WhyT" you will know the anawsr.
'It Is for the carmen. They are a de
serving lot ef fellows. The relations
between the publlo and the street rall-
'way employes are generally known to
be pleasant, and while this benefit is
In no sense a charity, at the same time
it will afford everyone an opportunity
to help a self-respecting cause, as this
association of the streetcar men is de-
ianed to beatow help among their own

for the event a big program of try

of consolation prizes, foil contests

brother, of the existence, either In fact
or contemplation, of any political com
bination between them, the rumor of
such an alliance will not down. Friends
of the gentlemen contend that a coali
tion has been effected by which Senator
Fulton Is to receive the support of the
Cake brothers and their friends In his
race for renomlnation and election,
which means the withdrawal of H. M.
Cake from .the list of senatorial can
didates. By the further terms of this reputed
agreement William M. Cake la to be
come a candidate for Oovernor of Ore
gon and H. M. Cake for congressman at
the next election. Senator Fulton la to I
assist throughout the eastern part of
the atate In particular and In every i
Fart In general in bringing In votea both
or William M. Cake and for his brother.
It la conceded on every hand, so the
politicians say, that Senator Fulton has
great positive strength throughout the
eastern ana central part or uregon.
Multnomah county and the vallev reilon
re hla wMkut nntnta. It la irriAl '
therefore that the added strength In this
district which could be swung to him
by the Cake Influence would make his
reelection certain.
On the other nand it Is argued that
the Fulton vote throughout the state
outside of Multnomah county and the
valley, would be of very material assis
tance either to William Cake In his
contest for the governorship or to H.
M. Cske when helrles to become elected
to congress. It hss been therefore cal
culated that the combination would be
double-edged and would mow hay for
all parties to the agreement.
Congressman Ellis, according to this
story, is not to be a candidate for re
nomination, but is to be appointed Judge
of the proposed Eastern Oregon United
States district court, a bill for the crea
tion of which is now penutng before
congress. This bill haa been pending
for some time and waa first proposed
by the late Senator Mitchell and Sen
ator Fulton, both of whom had agreed
to work for the appointment of John L.
Rand of Baker City, to the Judgeship.
The interregnum of the land frauds,
however, held the matter up until It la

enactment at the coming session of congress.

afternoon. Additional witnesses and
members of the crews of tha Columbia
end Ran Pedro were called to give their
testimony. It Is expected that the In
aulrv will be closed tonight.
The testimony recorded so far doea
little toward establishing who was re
sponsible for the wreck, beyond showing
that some one on the Columbia was
to blame for running the veasel at full
s"peed tnrough s thick fog that screened
the coast. It Is conceded that the' law
of navigation was violated in thla re
spect, though no one seems to know by
whose order.

Brandt Wlckersham gave Joe Tyler,,
the Seattle crack, a hard fight In the
semi-finals of the state tournament this
morning. The match was the fastest
seen on the Multnomah courts during
the tournament and, for that matter,
for at least two seasons past.
While Tyler won the match, "Wick"
made a great bid for It. He captured
the first set and for a time looked the
winner of the second. He drove with
wonderful speed and accuracy and
fought the great Tyler for every point
until the end.
VA'lckersham started matters with a
sensational rush and won the first four
games. Tyler came back strong and in
a desperate fight succeeded in taking the
next three. 'Wlck," in a series of fast
rallies, won the next two and the set
6-3
worked the side lines for points time
and again, taking four straight games
and the set 6-4. The battle for the
next two sets was no less brilliant.

Major Bethel won his way into the
finals by defeating R. Wilder In four
close sets. Both men played a strong
driving game. Their shotB were nearly
all deep and the match, from an exhi

from the Tyler-Wlckersham match,
though not far below it In cleverness.
The score was 6-4. 5-7. 6-4, 7-5.
