But the two candldatea turned the .- drumleas ear and the marble face In the direction of the tempters and said . them nay. Both are In the race to ty. Mr. Colwell gives Ms version of - the attempt in plain and atralghtfor ' ward language. Offered Support of Machine. "Mr. Hodaon asked me to itet out of the race for the state aenatorshlp, ' offering to put the machine behind me . .two year from now and to elect me," he said. "J refused. 1 am no quitter, ' and especially wlU I not He down to this machine. "I told them that Dr. Drake and , tnyaelf were In the race to stay and that we intended to make the race on the Republican voters' choice. I told , them that we were in the race to stay until all the votea were counted. "J asked them why they changed their piatform and they replied that It was because of U'Ren'a withdrawal, but 1 know better than that. Their change was due to the fact that the people hammered them on the head so nara that they had to change. It was " freely said on the street by the friends ef the machine candidates about the time they filed their flrat platform that they hoped to make a good many . , voters believe that their declaration . waa ' equivocal to an acceptance of Statement No. 1. but they found out It would not work and were forced to take another tack. , Machlaa Uea to Stand Together. ' '"Hodson' told me," Mr. Colwell con tinued, "that the machine candidates for the senate intended to Stand to- f ether and fight together, and that hey would go after the scalps of any other candidates who ran against them. He tried to bluff Dr. Drake and myself - out or ine race, but we told him that we had gone into the fight to stay and . could not be called off." Dr. Drake also discussed the ltua - tion. He mm that since he and Mr. colwell had entered the fight flat on , the party platform he did not. see how in reason the Hodaon combination could bk tnem to step, aside. ."We waited," eaid Dr. Drake, "until the party had formulated ita platform before we announced our candidacy in order that we (could conform our plat forme with that of the county conven tion and cause no embarrassment Then the Hodson people came along and disregarded the. platform they had helped to make, coming out on a plat form of their own. Now they have been forced to climb back on the nartv platform and I do not see why we, who have always been there, should set out of tha way to make room for inhem. We are In the race to eta v." iThat the Hodson-Bailey-Heach-Reed leader are afraid the popular cyclone wiii get them was demonstrated yes terday afternoon when C. W. Hodaon I made a wild break for cover and filed I an amended declaration with the county f clerk. tour day after he - announced Ms for the "people's choice for United Btatea aenator provided ho is a Re publican" he felt the chill wind of un popularity in his face and yesterday climbed aboard the county convention platforip witn a pledge to abide by the i Republican voters' choice.

Portland In the ole of the Taclflc coast's packing center la amusing the Interest of livestock breeders through out the states of fregon. Washington and Idaho. The demands that will ! made by these great packing hmm's will tax yve ability of the livestock men to furylsh the animals on tho hoof to keep these plants running.

It Is up to the farmer of Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Oood Stock ray. C C. Colt, purchasing agent of Swift ft i'o.. discussing the situation that will confront the icreut plant that Is being built In Portland by ills company, auld: "ln 1 9 1 1 taere was held at the union Blockyunio, Chicago, the first great in ternational livestock show, under tne auspice of the International Livestock association and It Is a mutter of his- ! tory mat during that show a single steer, me grand prise animal which had taken all the premiums, sold at auction for 91.60 a pound. II was a Black Polled Angus, and his name was Ad vance. It paid to raise him, a lie net ted his owner something over 12,100. They used to sell steers on the range for 18 to 110 a head. "The International ahow Is now a permanent organization, and Is meeting with greater success and favor each year. Entries of all classes of live stock last year were 4,496 single en tries, not including 134 cars of cattle, 29 cars of sheep and 9 cars of hogs, and the total value of the prizes given away was approximately $76,000. "Portland haa made Its beginning and is to be congratulated on the for mation of a Country club and Livestock association, which ha for Its prime object the advancement of the live stock industry. The local community and the state should heed the lessons already taught to our neighbor beyond the Rockies and get Into line and ad vance, push, degelop the source of their greatest wealth. The coming to Port Land of the modern packing house and stockyards is sure to pave the way lo still greater possibilities. Ship Direct to Market. , . "The small farmer living closo to the city will learn, as others have learned, that it is money in his pocket to bring his livestock to market rather than to dress his cattle, hogs, veal and sheep at home, pay expressagc, and perhaps then not find a ready sale and lose .money because the carcasses 'wont keep.' and some are worthless, besides, being a menace to the health of a city. They can bring their hogn, sheep and calves alive to market. If they haven't a car load and live close enough, they can bring them alive in a wagon. "If not close enough, buy from the neighbor, or mnk up a Joint car and ship them in. They will be sure of prompt sale and cash remittance If the stock Is good; if not.Jt ha some value, and thry will learn, as other have. that It navs tn rrow better ones. Mr. lolt said the Psclflo coast, and particularly Oregon and the north weat, have a distinct advantage over the reit of the entire North American country. This Is the newest section, and for that reason tho advantagea of 'the experi ences of all the rest of the country which lias developed during the last tnree centuriea'. isy ngni or iiimiii and natural advantages, there is no pari of the United kUute which can com nam with It. "What, then," he said, "muit be the resuiiT wan past experience 10 duuo from and a wonderful domain to work with, civilisation must surely be at it oesi in mi nexi generation, in mia uuu of destiny. There are enormous indus tries and line of work which have bright futures, but none have a brighter prospect than th great livestock indus try. "We have the example of the middle wsatern plalna. which only a generation ago were ranged from the border north to Canada by greut herds of long horned, 'cat-hammed' creatures which they called cattle. "Civilisation demanded something bet ter, eternallv called for a higher stand ard and development. The ranchman learned that if he was to get as much money for his product as Tils neighbor who was a progreaalve man, he must put as good or better product on the market. The experiment paid. He realized more for his cattle because they were better than uio ordinary, ana civilization wanted the best . "The packer was willing to pay more for better quality because thoy proved the cheupeitt to him In tho end and the easiet to sell, and besides these two great advantages, the good quality pleased his trade, for the trade wanted something better, and so you see he not only made a frlrnd of the rancher, to whom he paid a better price, but he made a friend of his consumer, who was well satisfied and willing to pay for. quality; and likewise made money for himself. "The same Is true of the humble hoe;. They used to ray down in Missouri when I was a boy that It didn't pay to keep 'hawga' that couldn't beat a 'nigger running. In those days the hogs ranged the woods and depended for their existence" on nuts and roots. Per haps once every year tho owners would have a 'drive' and of all the looking animals which were the result of this drive, you would probably guess 'hogs' the last. Long legged, long snouted, high hacked, coarse bristles, and about as wide as the back of one' hand. . This Is not an exaggeration. ' "Well, it Is the same old story. To day Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Ne braska, Iowa and Illinois, and even Texas, produce more and better hogs than any other section of the world, and the razOrbCck,' or 'Indians,' as wn uijcd to call them, are tilings of the past. WhyT Because it paid to make them better. Sheep have almost a like history." OPINION FROM AN . EMINENT ARTIST Harold Bauer Gives His Views on Piario-Players.

His letter follows: "in a recent letter I told you my opinion of the Pianola, and while I consider It euperlor in every way to all other pianoforte-players, I am con vinced that no Instrument, not even the Pianola, can be considered complete un less equipped with the Mptrostyle. This device is not only Interesting and won derful. . but positively Indispensable to those who are sufficiently musical to , wish to become acquainted with the : better class of music, and to perform i It with taste and munlclanly expression. 1 One is amazed to find how closely it la ! possible for an absolute novice to ap- ? roach the interpretation of a great ar Ist by means of this Invention." The above Is only one of the many flattering Indorsements which have been showered on the genuine Pianola -ell of which point to the great im portance of the Metrostyle device, an at tachment exclusive with the Pianola.

At every terminal of the street car system cars leave for the down-town district every 10 or 15 or 50 minutes And there Is always some person who Is Just a second late, and he begins to run and wave his hands and yell or whistle from a distance from one to two or tnree blocks. It would be the same way If there was a car every minute. It Isn't the people's fault, nor Is It the street car company's. It isn't the fault of any one. There is no fault about It. It Just happens that there Is always some one who wants a car Juat as it Is be ginning to leave for the other end of the line. "I live up near the end of Mont gomery street," a man said In speaking about the fun at the street car termi nals, "and there is a hill near on which many people live.' It is Sixteenth street and it Is so steep that It Is impossible for wagon to mount it. "Wnenever I have nothing to do I watch for those, who are anxious to catch a car. Down the bill they come.

JAPAN REEDS MOJNEYBADLY Mikado's Government Denies There Is Panic but Sit uation Is Bad. Wholesale Expulsion Is in Violation of Russia's Own Ruling. (Heirtt Kewi by Longest Leased Wire.) St. Petersburg, March 14. It Is of ficially announced that four fifth of the Jewish resident of Vladivostok have been expelled from the city, and that all those remaining must leave be fore the first of April. This wholesale expulsion Is In viola tion of Russia's own regulations which give the governors of the port the fiower to discriminate and allow Jew o remain In ports on a special per mit from the minister of the interior. By the middle of April all me Jews will be expelled from Cronstadt and Se vastopol. Further vexatious measures are being oonsldered against Klcff Jews, attrib uted to the Influence of the Odessa pre fect.

Toklo, March 14. While denials come from all sdes that Japan is suf fering from a panic, there is no con cealing the fact that the financial sit uation continues very depressing. Un less improvement comes soon 'there are evidences that conditions soon will be come serious in the extreme. The business depression is more acute In some other cities than It Is In Toklo, but this, of course, reflects di rectly on affairs ere. Business men are becoming cautious and financiers are beginning to hoard their money and call In loans not protected by gilt-edged securities. In Osaka and Kobe several failures of banks and business houses are reported. So far none of th col lapses have been important enough to have any marked effect upon the gov ernment, but everything adds to the feeling of uneasiness. The scarcity of money has, of course. a depressing effect, but conditions are better in the cities than in the smaller towns. There are rumors that some firms, considered weak ever since war tiroes started, may not be able to weather the storm. Worst of rill, the outlook la far from encouraging .and no real improve ment la 'hoped for for some time. DEATH OF PfiUIII SOLON Congressman Sims Endan gered by Attempt to Close , Saloons at Capital.
